Petition requesting fuel prices be slashed handed to Ministers
14 June 2022
Today, the DA submitted our letter requesting that fuel prices be slashed to the Ministers of Finance and Mineral Resources and Energy in the form of a petition. More than 130 000 South Africans have co-signed our letter to Ministers Enoch Godongwana and Gwede Mantashe.
Given the dire state of the economy, the millions of people unemployed and living in poverty, and the multitudes of children starving to death, it’s no surprise that this letter is one of the fastest growing petitions in the history of the DA – only eclipsed by our petition against the misgovernance of Jacob Zuma.
The DA proposes that:
The General Fuel Levy of R3.93 per litre be completely scrapped.
