Earlier in July, Wheels24 reported that the petrol price is set to increase yet again at the end of the month.
On Tuesday (July 31), DA leader Mmusi Maimane and Ben Theron of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse (OUTA) said they were preparing for a mass fuel protest in Pretoria.
According to News24, Maimane said the recent continuous fuel price increases were bringing ordinary South Africans to their knees.
He said: "2018 will be remembered as the year in which the ANC government declared war on poor South Africans through relentless tax increases."
News24 reported that a 20% reduction in the fuel levy and the tabling of an urgent debate in Parliament regarding the structure of the Road Accident Fund (RAF) are some of Maimane's demands.
