The People Against Petrol and Paraffin Increases are planning a shutdown in protest against the latest increase.JOHANNESBURG - The People Against Petrol and Paraffin Increases are planning to protest against the latest increase on 8 May.
National Convenor for the group Visvin Reddy says at least 90 percent of South Africans have pledged their support for the protest."We are saying we will use our vote as a sign of protest. Now protests in the country are occurring every single day and they are becoming violent, people are dying, properties are being damaged and that is not the country we want our children to grow up in", said Reddy.
The Energy Department recently confirmed that petrol will increase by 54-cents a litre while Diesel will go up by 1-cent a litre and illuminating paraffin will climb by 3-cents a litre.
Time to boycott fuel...
Here’s a thought, vote for a government that stops corruption, grows the economy and strengthens our currency which reduces the need for a 40% plus fuel tax.

MTN, Cell C hiked the cost of voice calls - while offering what appeared to be freebiesTariffs filed with regulator Icasa show that MTN increased the standard cost of a voice call while offering what appeared to be a big freebie. Meanwhile Cell C customers will have to phone a lot of other Cell C customers to benefit from what appears to be a 200% bonus airtime offer. BISouthAfrica I once raised this issue with MTN and they ignored me. They offer free airtime only to take all your remaining airtime in less than 10 minutes. Call/use R6 and get R55 free. If you are left with R100, it will all go with R55 freebies! BISouthAfrica MTN is no longer the same company, only interested in turning a profit. Customer comes last. Customer services is useless, they really dont value their customer base. BISouthAfrica Don't punish them, it discourage investor confidence !
