# The Western Cape High Court is today set to hear the EFF’s urgent bid to block Finance minister Enoch Godongwana’s fuel levy hike. Last month in his budget speech, the minister announced increases of 15-cents per litre for diesel and 16-cents per litre for petrol respectively. In its founding affidavit, the EFF argues that the fuel levy hike is procedurally flawed and substantively irrational. Minister Godongwana has warned that there would be a 3.5-billion-rand budget shortfall should the levies not be increased.
