# The Ministries of Finance and Mineral and Petroleum Resources have announced an extension of temporary fuel levy relief to help cushion consumers against rising fuel prices driven by the ongoing Middle East conflict. The three-rand per litre fuel levy cut introduced this month will now continue into next month and June, with additional relief for diesel. The support will be phased out from July, with the plan expected to cost about 17-billion-rand in lost revenue.
