GOVERNMENT IS SCRAMBLING TO SECURE FUEL SUPPLY FOR THE COUNTRY

It has been a tough start to the month for consumers as the fuel hike was implemented from Wednesday 1 April as well as an average electricity tariff increase of 8,76% for Eskom customers.

Neil Roets, chief executive officer (CEO) of Debt Rescue, warns that the increases are “disastrous” for consumers.

“This prices two of the most essential necessities — petrol to drive their vehicles and electricity to heat food and keep the lights on — beyond the reach of the average citizen — and this spells disaster on a level we have not seen yet.”

He warns that South Africans are fast falling deeper into financial ruin.

“It is deeply concerning that authorities are not responding more urgently to the writing on the wall.”
