KULINDELEKE EHLE AMAXABISO EPETROLI NEDIZILI KLE YESILIMELA
Irhafu yamafutha ezithuthi kulindeleke ukuba inyuke okokuqala kwisithuba seminyaka emithathu, kodwa okuvuyisayo kukuba irandi eyomeleleyo izakukhusela abaqhubi beemoto boMzantsi Afrika ekunyukeni kwamaxabiso epetroli ngoJuni.
Uhlenga-hlengiso olulandelayo lwexabiso lepetroli luya kwenzeka ngoLwesithathu, umhla we-04 kuJuni, kwaye idatha engaphicothwanga yokuphela kwenyanga evela kwiCentral Energy Fund ibonisa ukuba ukuhla kwexabiso okungephi kunokwenzeka kuzo zombini iipetroli kunye nedizili.
Ipetroli ibijonge ukuhla malunga neesenti ezingama-20 ilitha, kodwa ngokunyuka kwe-16 cent kwiGeneral Fuel Levy (GFL) kuza kuqalisa ukusebenza ukusukela ngoLwesithathu, ukucuthwa malunga neesenti ezine kumakhadi.
Ipetroli eyi-93 ye-Unleaded okwangoku ixabisa i-R21.29 ilitha eGauteng, kunye nama-95 e-ULP athengiswa ngama-R21.40 phakathi kunye nama-R20.60 elunxwemeni.
Idizili, ethe ukuchacha kwayo ngaphezulu kule nyanga kubonise ukuhla ngeepesenti ezingama-51, ngoku kujongeka ngathi yehle nge-36 yeesenti kulandela ukunyuswa kwerhafu ye-15 yeesenti kolo hlobo lwamafutha.
Irandi eyomeleleyo igqithise amaxabiso e-oyile ezizwe ngezizwe abuthathaka kancinci ukudala ukufunyanwa okugqithisileyo kwepetroli nedizili.
Nangona kunjalo, nakuphi na ukomelezwa kwamaxabiso e-oyile kwiinyanga ezizayo kuya kukhokelela ekubeni abemi boMzantsi Afrika bazive bexinezelekile kumthwalo onzima werhafu othwalwa ngamafutha.
Ukunyuswa kwerhafu ka-2025 kuya kwenza ukuba irhafu yepetroli inyuke iye kwi-R6.37, kubandakanywa nerhafu ye-R2.18 yeNgxowa-mali yeeNgozi zeNdlela.
Umphathiswa wezemali uEnoch Godongwana uphakamise iGeneral Fuel Levy, waze wabhengeza ukuthotywa kwenkcitho karhulumente okwahlukeneyo, kwintetho yakhe yesithathu yohlahlo lwabiwo-mali eyacetywa ngomhla wamashumi amabini ananye kuCanzibe.
La manyathelo ajoliswe ekuxhaseni ngezimali ukushokoxeka kohlahlo lwabiwo-mali okube nesiphumo sokurhoxiswa konyuso lweRhafu yeXabiso (i-VAT) ebelubhengezwe ngaphambili, kulandela uxinzelelo olukhulu lwezopolitiko.
NgoLwesine i-Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) imisele isicelo esingxamisekileyo enkundleni sokuba kunqunyanyiswe ukunyuswa kwerhafu yamafutha. Ngaphandle kokuba iNkundla ePhakamileyo yaseNtshona Koloni ithethelela bona, umnyinyiva wexabiso lepetroli kaJuni uyakuthuliswa ukutsho.
