Njengoba ukungezwani kuqhubeka eMpumalanga Ephakathi, abashayeli bezimoto eNingizimu Afrika bangase babhekane nokwenyuka okukhulu kwamanani kaphethiloli ngoMeyi.
Ngaphambi kokulungiswa kwamanani kaphethiloli ngo-Ephreli, uMgcinimafa Kazwelonke wethule ukwehliswa kwesikhashana kwe-R3 ilitha kwentela kaphethiloli ukuze kwehliswe ingcindezi kubathengi.
Yize lesi sinyathelo sisize kancane, amanani kaphethiloli anyuke ngo-R3, kanti udizili wona ukhuphuke kakhulu ngo-R7.06.
Izibikezelo zakamuva zakuqala ezivela kuCentral Energy Fund (CEF) zikhombisa ukuthi amanani kaMeyi angadlula kakhulu lawo ka-Ephreli.
Ngomhla ka-6 Ephreli, i-CEF ibike ukuthi uphethiloli ungase ukhuphuke cishe ngo-R4.70, kanti udizili uqhubeka nokukhombisa ingcindezi enkulu ngokunyuka okungaba ngu-R13.07.
Njengamanje, intengo kaphethiloli 93 imi ku-R23.25 ezindaweni zasemaphakathi nezwe kanye no-R22.46 ezindaweni ezisogwini. Uphethiloli 95 wona umi ku-R23.36 ezindaweni zasemaphakathi nezwe kanye no-R22.53 ezindaweni ezisogwini.
Intengo kadizili ithengiswa cishe phakathi kuka-R25.90 no-R26.11 ezindaweni zasemaphakathi nezwe, kanti ezisogwini iphakathi kuka-R25.07 no-R25.35.
Uphethiloli wokukhanyisa (illuminating paraffin), owakhuphuka ngo-R11.67 ngo-Ephreli wafinyelela ku-R24.21, nawo kulindeleke ukuthi ukhuphuke futhi cishe ngo-R10.70.
I-CEF iveze ukuthi amanani kawoyela weBrent ayaqhubeka nokukhuphuka ngaphezu kuka-$100 umphongolo, kanti nokungaqiniseki mayelana nezindlela zokuhamba ngomkhumbi eStrait of Hormuz kusaqhubeka.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukwehla kwamandla erandi kukhuphule kakhulu izindleko zokungenisa uphethiloli eNingizimu Afrika.
