The freight industry is appealing for the government
to intervene and lower fuel taxes.
This comes on the back of another fuel increase which
will see motorists fork out over R20 per litre from tomorrow.
Express Freight business, Bigfoot Chief Finance
Officer Denesh Singh says the fuel hikes are crippling the freight sector and
the economy.
He was speaking at a webinar on South Africa’s fuel
hikes where he was joined by Consumer Advocate Ina Wilken and Portfolio Manager
and Business Unit Head at Sasfin Mohil Bandulal.
Singh has
said that since the start of the year, there has been a massive increase in
fuel costs which ultimately affects the ordinary consumer who relies on the
freight sector to deliver food, medicine and other essential goods for their
daily living.
