It was started by an understandably frustrated Jerome Paulse three months ago, hoping it reaches Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe
“South Africa's fuel price has reached the R20 per litre mark. So many of us are living on the edge financially. It becomes more and more expensive for us to live our normal daily lives. Let's stand together against the high fuel prices,” Paulse shared.
We can only hope that it received well by the government because it is affecting South Africans' pockets.

Now over 96 000 South Africans have signed the Fight Against High Fuel Prices online petition following numerous fuel increases in the country.
According to consumer specialist Ina Wilken, “The skyrocketing fuel price is a serious threat to stability in a society already punch-drunk from economic hardships and Covid-19. Consumers just can’t afford it anymore. Consumers have had enough… Before it gets out of hand the government must come to the fore and tell us what they are going to do”.
With Russia's invasion of Ukraine, things don't look so promising.
So, why not get your signature up there? It is for every household in SA.
