The Department of Energy (DoE) announced that from Midnight on Tuesday the price of unleaded 93 petrol will rise by 99c‚ unleaded 95 by R1 and diesel by R1.24. Illuminating paraffin will cost an additional R1.04 and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) R1.79.
The society ain’t smiling with this news as there’s been a fluctuation in fuel price and commodities and services are getting expensive by the day. Recent experiences has made the society believe that nothing comes free in SA especially after the death of free twitter.
Most people are opting for trekking rather than buying fuel. Reaction of tweeps are in these form;
I guess by December the litre will be R19.00.
Kanti when are we coming together to fight against this. One national strikenyana nje will stop this. Not doing anything about it means we don’t have a problem with it.
