What happened
The Automobile Association of South Africa called for government intervention regarding fuel costs in South Africa. The AA requested the immediate abolition of the Road Accident Fund levy, which currently stands at R2.25 per litre, and opposed the RAF's push for an increase to R3 per litre.

Why it matters
The record petrol price increases are causing financial strain on consumers and contributing to rising inflationary pressure in South Africa. The AA's open letter puts direct policy pressure on Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana to address the cost of fuel.
