The Motor Industry Staff Association Misa has called on the South African government to urgently implement a temporary fuel levy reduction ahead of the expected sharp petrol and diesel price increases on 1 April .
The increase is attributed to global oil shocks linked to tensions involving the United States Israel and Iran. Misa says rising fuel and electricity costs , including Eskoms 8.76 tariff hike, are placing severe financial strain on workers.
The association is urging immediate intervention to prevent deepening economic hardship and potential job losses in the motor industry.
