In a landmark win for consumers, the Minister of Finance, Mr Enoch Godongwana, on Wednesday heeded calls by the Automobile Association (AA) not to increase fuel levies, and at the same time announced a “review of all aspects of the fuel price” subsequent to prolonged campaigns and a petition by the AA calling into question perpetual fuel hikes.

Finance minister Enoch Godongwana heeded calls by the AA not to increase fuel levies, and at the same time announced a 'review of all aspects of the fuel price'.

The AA called on the minister not to increase these levies — as had been the case in previous years — saying such increases would be damaging to the economy, hard on the poor, and would lead to price increases on goods and services across the board, especially as fuel prices are slated to once again reach record levels in March.

In addition, the AA says the announcement that Godongwana and mineral resources and energy minister Gwede Mantashe have agreed to review all aspects of the fuel price is equally welcome.
