UMnuz Gwede Mantashe, onguNgqongqoshe wezokuMbiwa Phansi, uthi uphethiloli nodizili kumele kubize u-R14 kuphela ilitha.
Usezingxoxweni noMgcinimafa kaZwelonke mayelana nokwenza lokhu kube yimpumelelo.
“Intengo kaphethiloli iyingxenye yezindleko zokuphila. Uma intengo kaphethiloli ikhuphuka izindleko zokuphila eNingizimu Afrika ziyakhuphuka. Lokhu akulungile emphakathini,” kusho uMantashe engqungqutheleni.
Intengo kaphethiloli eNingizimu Afrika yehle izinyanga ezinhlanu zilandelana, kodwa uMantashe ucabanga ukuthi isengehla nakakhulu.
I-Unleaded 93 kaphethiloli ibiza u-R20.73 ilitha, udizili u-500ppm ungu-R18.45 ilitha.
UMantashe ufuna ukususa ingxenye yentela emananini kaphethiloli, eyengeza ngaphezu kuka-R6 ilitha ngalinye.
“Ake sithole indlela yokuhlukanisa intengo kaphethiloli nentela, siyenze ibonakale,” usho kanje.
Lokhu kuyingxenye yohlelo lukahulumeni lokulwa nobubha kanye nezindleko eziphezulu zokuphila, ezigcizelelwe uMengameli uCyril Ramaphosa ngoNtulikazi.
Ngakho-ke, ukususa intela kaphethiloli kungase kudinge uhulumeni akhuphule ezinye izintela ukuze anxephezele imali ezolahleka.
UMantashe uthi umnyango wakhe usebenza ngokushesha kulolu hlelo ngoba bakholwa wukuthi amandla uphethiloli nodizili okushibili kubalulekile ekukhuliseni umnotho, ekudaleni amathuba emisebenzi, nasekunciphiseni ububha.
