UNGASE unyuke futhi uphethroli ekupheleni kuka-Okthoba njengoba intengo ka-oyela ongahluziwe ilokhu iphezulu.

“Siyajabula ukuthi irandi liyadlondlobala futhi nohulumeni kukhona akwenzayo ukuqinisekisa ukuthi uphethroli awunyuki kakhulu,” kusho i-AA.

Ithe ucwaningo lwayo luveza ukuthi uphethroli ungase unyuke ngo-40 cents ilitha ekupheleni kuka-Okthoba uma kuwukuthi isimo siyaqhubeka nokuxokozela eSaudi Arabia.

Udizili uzonyuka ngo-70 cents bese upharafini unyuke ngo-65 cents ilitha.

I-AA ithe akuqinisekisiwe ukuthi uzonyuka uphethroli ngoba bakhipha le ntengo ngenxa yesimo esikhona ezimakethe zamazwe akhiqiza u-oyela njengamanje.

“Siyajabula ukuthi uhulumeni unemizamo yokuqinisekisa ukuthi uphethroli awunyuki njengoba ufuna imibono yezinhlaka ezehlukene embonini kaphethroli. Lokhu kuzosiza abathengi nomnotho wezwe ngoba ukunyuka kukaphethroli kuvimba ukukhula komnotho,” kusho i-AA.

Icele uhulumeni ukuthi eze nemithetho ezogqugquzela abatshalizimali ukuthi bafake imali yabo emnothweni waseNingizimu Afrika ukuze irandi lizosimama no-oyela uthengwe ngemali encane.
