The high fuel price is a crisis of the African National Congress’ making, which will have a negative impact on every South African, particularly the poor, eating into their already diminished transport budgets, said the opposition, the Democratic Alliance , on Wednesday. “The increase on input costs for numerous industries will also negatively affect businesses, agriculture, and manufacturing, squeezing their profits that means new jobs will not be created and others may be lost,” Mileham said in a statement.
“This high fuel price is a crisis of the ANC’s making. They have continually used the fuel levy to top up an ineffectual, corrupt, and mismanaged fiscus that has wasted billions on problematic state-owned entities.
