Abashayeli bezimoto bangalindela ukukhululeka njengoba amanani kaphethiloli ezokwehla ngesonto elizayo.
Ngokwemininingwane ye-Central Energy Fund, ngoLwesibili amanani kaphethiloli abukeka ezokwehla phakathi kuka-R1.19 no-R1.22 ilitha. Udizili ungehliswa ngo-90c.
NgoNtulikazi amanani kaphethiloli anyuswe ngaphezu kuka-10% okwenze ilitha likaphethiloli lifinyelele ngaphezu kuka-R26 ngemuva kokuthi uhulumeni echibiyele isaphulelo sentela kaphethiloli sasuka ku-R1.50 saya ku-75c ilitha.
UMnyango wezokuMbiwa phansi naMandla uthe nakuba ukwehliswa kwentela kaphethiloli kuzokwehla mhla zimbili kuNcwaba, abashayeli bezimoto basazohlomula ekwehleni kwentengo kaphethiloli.
“Isazokwehla kakhulu intengo kaphethiloli okuhlanganisa nekapharafini kubantu bakuleli. Isimemezelo esisemthethweni sizokwenziwa ekupheleni kwesonto,” kusho isitatimende somnyango.
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga, uNgqongqoshe uGwede Mantashe umemezele ukuthi uMnyango wakhe uqale uhlelo lokuhoxiswa kwentengo kaphethiloli i-93 octane ngokusemthethweni.
Ukwethulwa komkhawulo wentengo kuzovumela abathengisi ukuthi bathengise ngentengo engaphansi kwenani elilawulwayo, okuhlanganisa nezaphulelo kuphethiloli.
“Uphethiloli we-93 octane wenza ingxenye encane yemakethe, kodwa-ke lokhu kuzovumela umnyango ukuthi uqaphe ukuthi imakethe izosabela kanjani ekuqoqweni kwentengo,” kusho uMantashe.
Ukwehliswa kwentengo kaphethiloli ngerandi kuyisizathu sokujabula. Kodwa kuhle ukukhumbula ukuthi inani likaphethiloli ngoMasingana nyakenye okwakucatshangwa ukuthi liphezulu kakhulu lalingu-R14.16 kuphethiloli we-95 octane ogwini.
NgoMasingana kulo nyaka, lona kanye lelo litha likaphethiloli we-95 octane lithengiswa ngo-R18.89. Namuhla lowo phethiloli ubiza u-R26.09. Lokho ukwenyuka okucishe kufinyelele ku-40% ezinyangeni ezingu-18.
Njengoba intengo izokwehla ngerandi, kuyizindaba ezimnandi lokho – kodwa akukho okujabulisayo.
