Major petrol increase again in May
Petrol price is going to increase ’substantially’ again in May according to the minerals and energy department. We are looking at an increase of perhaps up to 50 cents at least.
Funnily enough this announcement comes just when the Central Energy Fund (CEF) is closed for the week and they have said that all queries should be directed to the department of minerals and energy.
The increase is to recoup about R3-billion not passed on to the motorist in previous price adjustments - or so they tell us.
It is about time that the government scrapped this stupid legislation and allow petrol companies to compete in a fair and open market! Supermarket chains should also be allowed to discount petrol if they see fit. That is what free enterprise is all about.
Why do we just stand idly by while our incomes are raped by an incompetent government? I am pretty sure that the price increase is probably to pay for the massive bonuses that the hierarchy will probably receive shortly. I am sick of being screwed over each year by these people! Aren’t the people of South Africa suffering enough without doing this? Petrol increases = food increases = even less money to spend = increase in crime. Remember most of South Africa are living below the poverty line!
