Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana has confirmed a R3 fuel levy cut for April to ease the hefty increase set to hit motorists in midnight.
This, as petrol is set to increase by R3.06 and diesel by between R7.37 and R7.51.
Godongwana previously announced a fuel levy increase during his Budget Speech in late February.
He noted that the fuel levy cut is only for April, while the government decides what to do for the next two months.
“I will temporarily be lowering the fuel levy for this month of April by R3.00, and then I am still discussing what we can do for the next two months,” Godongwana said.
