The fuel prices shall come into effect at midnight, Thursday, 4 August, 2022(effect Friday, 5 August, 2022). There will be no change in the current price of illuminating paraffin\\”,reads the statement in part.<\/p>\n

Reached for comments,Bheki Mamba, the TUCOSWA President said the petrol price decrease would not make any difference.<\/p>\n

“This is a problem because it doesn’t change anything from the expenses that are faced by workers.It does not address the fundamental question of life and it doesn’t mean that transport money and food prices will decrease as well”, he said.<\/p>\n
