Leader of the Democratic Alliance, John Steenhuisen, has called on South Africans to resist the looming massive fuel price increase set to take place next week.

South Africans could be paying more than R25 per litre for petrol from next week.

But, the Democratic Alliance is calling on South Africans to resist the increase. The party says it amounts to a corruption tax because the money collected through the levy can be easily recovered by reducing corruption and wastage. While government had taken measures to ease the burden on consumers by forgoing part of the fuel levy, this is expected to end next month, resulting in record fuel prices.

At a media briefing in Cape Town, he called on South Africans to unite behind the party’s call and resist the increases, which, he says, are not inevitable.

It's really hard. I always think of my parents who depend on my 1k allowance and their govt pension pay. It's really tough with the huge increase of food expenses. Something must be done to curb the increase

Why amplify this guy's nonsense?

Not vaccinate?

How😢

I don't think is good idea to resist,how are we going to resist? Against garages or government? I wish it must not happen this resist because is political.

How do I resist a fuel price increase? Stop buy fuel? You are very confused!

Domkop at it again 'resist $110 oil'...

How the poes actually do we resist it? Must we tell the petrol stations “sorry, charge us less”? What the fuck are we meant to do?

Same way he must call on SAns to resist the influx of illegal foreigners into SA.

Must I steal fuel from the petrol station instead? How must I resist?

Is it not what this 'government' want the citizens to do, the final plan to destroy this country.

Why is it only the DA trying to do something about the exorbitant fuel prices, where are the voices of all the other parties whose supporters got them seats in parliament? Don't their supporters matter now?

Pray do tell how we rather resist you planned increases on tarriffs in CityofJoburgZA & City_Ekurhuleni Our_DA jsteenhuisen it's criminal.

By not filling up?

That I support

We need a month long strike, government must feel what they doing to the people on the ground. Very few people can afford to eat, nevermind putting petrol to get to work

You want me to take the N1 by foot to Cape Town each day?🤣

Our_DA how about you push for a reduction taxes and import duties on electric vehicles? How about we get with the times?

Salute! The hero of Ukraine!

How must we resist that maara...any plan or strategy in place? Please don't play with us,you are reactive or is it suppose to be How opposition behave? You knew that the petrol price will come to this ad indicators were there but you failed to adress this at parliament level

Mr Steenhuisen and how must they Resist? At least you should give some Ideas on how to do it It's no use telling people to resist and there's no plan of action. Because we all know by now that South Africans would rather suffer than to Resist.

A wa tla le ya Ukraine?🤔

Some other countries people march in the streets when the petrol goes up all the time. But here people have egos that don't allow them to march against this

Our_DA How how how 🤬🤬🤬

DemocracyYethuSonke

Our_DA South Africans especially the stupid ones we can’t go on like this!!! Wake up!!!

Resist how jsteenhuisen ?

Resist how exactly, do you think the corrupt MYANC will listen..

Our_DA Get the Our_DA into government, and see how the petrol price comes down. jsteenhuisen The ANC is just pushing the price up all the time, so we gotta try something different to bring it back down? Not true? Why try the same stuff.

How so? The only resistance is by not driving cars.

What he means?how to do?

DA, thank you for standing with us! The EFF, and Unions silence is absolutely deafing!

I agree with you on principles not this madness of fact findings....

DA is disturbing Cyril Ramaphosa and the ANC on delivering what was promised during elections, a better life for all, let that petrol ⛽ prices increases 3 times before the year end, that's what Clever Blacks eNCA, SABC, Newzroom Africa and newsletters bought journalists wanted.

How do we resist them?
