Kulindeleke ukwehla kukaphethiloli kuleli ngo-Agasti yize noma uzokwehla kancane, kusho abe-Automobile Association (AA), abebephawula ngemininingwane engacwaningiwe yeCentral Energy Fund (CEF).
Ngokwemininingwane ye-CEF, i-95ULP kulindeleke ukuthi yehle cishe ngo-14 cents/litha, bese kuthi u-93ULP yehle cishe ngo-9 c/l. Intengo kadizili ku-wholesale kulindeleke ukuthi yehle cishe ngo-26c/l kanye nezindleko zokukhanyisa ngopharafini cishe ngo-21c/l.
“Izinto ezidala ukwehla kwezinga lokushintshwa kweRandi/US Dollar, kanye nokwehla kwentengo kawoyela emazweni angaphandle. Ukunyakaza kwamazinga okushintshana kube nomthelela omkhulu emgudwini wentengo kaphethiloli ukwehla. Izintengo zemikhiqizo yamazwe ngamazwe zehle kancane kusukela maphakathi noJulayi, zehlisa ukusimama kancane, nokwaholela ekwehleni kwesibikezelo,” kuphawula i-AA.
Ngalokhu kuncipha okulindelekile, abathengi abagcwalisa ithangi elingu-55 litre eline-95ULP phakathi nezwe bazokonga imali engaphezudlwana kuka-R7 kuphela, no-R4.95 uma begcwalisa i-ULP93.
“Ngokwemvelo, sonke sibheka izindlela zokuphatha izindleko, futhi njengoba uphethiloli uhlala uyingxenye ebalulekile yesabelomali esiningi, kunzima ukugwema ukukhokha amanani aphezulu. Iseluleko sethu siwukuba siqinisekise ukuthi izimoto zisesimweni esihle sokusebenza, nokuthi amathayi afakwe umoya ngokuvumelana nezimfuneko zomkhiqizi. Imoto ebhemayo noma leyo ezizwa ivilapha nayo idla uphethiloli owengeziwe. Uma imoto yakho inezimpawu ezinjalo, yiyise kumkhandi jikelele we-AAQA ukuze iyohlolwa. Amafutha amadala, ama-sparkplugs agugile kanye nezihlungi zomoya ezingcolile nakho kuzodala ukusetshenziswa kukaphethiloli okuphezulu. Ukugwema isiminyaminya, ukungalayishi imoto ngokweqile, nokunciphisa ukushayela lapho kungenzeka khona ezinye izindlela zokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa,” kusikisela i-AA.
Ngasekuqaleni kwale nyanga i-AA yamukele isimemezelo sikaMongameli Ramaphosa enkulumweni yakhe yokuvula iPhalamende sokubuyekezwa kwefomula yentengo kaphethiloli. Ngaleso sikhathi siphawula lokhu kwaqinisekisa isimemezelo sethu seminyaka eside sokuthi kubuyekezwe amanani kaphethiloli ukuze kuncishiswe izindleko ezikhuphukayo zikaphethiloli eziqhubeka nokuba nomthelela kubathengi asebevele banenkinga.
“Siphinde saphawula ukuthi isinyathelo sikaMongameli esinesibindi sokumemezela lokhu kubuyekezwa kufanele senzeke ngokushesha futhi bonke ababambe iqhaza ochungechungeni lwenani likaphethiloli wezwe – kuhlanganisa nezinhlangano zomphakathi ezifana ne-AA – kufanele babe yingxenye yezingxoxo. Nokho, selokhu uMongameli ememezele, akukaze kube khona ukuxhumana kunoma yimuphi umnyango ngokuthi lokhu kubuyekezwa kuzokwenzeka nini futhi kanjani. Siyaphinda futhi sicela uhulumeni ukuthi angalahlekelwa wumfutho aqale lolu hlelo ngokushesha, ikakhulukazi njengoba izindleko zikaphethroli zidlala indima enkulu emikhakheni eminingi yezomnotho,” kusho le Nhlangano.
