Idatha yokuqala ikhombise ukwenyuka kukaphethiloli okungaphezu kuka-R4 kuLwezi. Izibalo zakamuva zansuku zonke zibonisa igebe elingaba ngu-R1.35 ngelitha.

Idatha ye-Central Energy Fund ikhombise ukwenyuka kukaLwezi okungu-R4.28 kuya ku-R4.57 ngophethiloli kanye no-R2.56 kuya ku-R2.91 ngodizili.

Izibalo zakamuva zansuku zonke zikhombisa i-under-recovering ngo-R1.35 ngelitha kanti udizili awukhombisi lutho, futhi izinombolo azikahlolwa.

Kungase kube nokunye ukwenyuka kwentengo kaphethiloli ngoLwezi, kodwa izibalo zakamuva ziphakamisa ukuthi kungaba kuncane kakhulu kunalokho obekucatshangwa ekuqaleni.

Inyanga ngayinye, i-Central Energy Fund ilandelela igebe phakathi kwalokho abantu baseNingizimu Afrika abakukhokhayo egalaji nokuthi empeleni kubiza malini ukuletha uphethiloli ezweni.

Uma intengo yegalaji iphansi kakhulu, lelo gebe libizwa ngokuthi i-under-recovery. Uma lihlala livuliwe kuze kube sekupheleni kwenyanga, intengo iyalungiswa ukuze ivalwe.

Amanani amasha kaMfumfu aqale ukusebenza ngoLwesithathu ngomhlaka-7 kuMfumfu, ngakho-ke ukubalwa kukaLwezi kusanda kuqala.

Imibiko yokuqala kuleli sonto, isebenzisa izinsuku zokuqala zedatha, ikhombe ekukhuphukeni kukaLwezi okungu-R4.28 kuya ku-R4.57 ilitha likaphethiloli kanye no-R2.56 kuya ku-R2.91 kudizili.

I-TopAuto ibike ukuthi uphethiloli uzofika ku-R34.82 ilitha kanye nodizili ongu-R36.20. Isazi sezomnotho esikhulu se-Investec u-Annabel Bishop uthe udizili uphindwe kabili kulo nyaka, kusukela ku-R17 ilitha ngoMasingana kuya ngaphezu kuka-R34 ngoMfumfu. Uthe kusesekuqaleni kwenyanga.

Izibalo ze-Central Energy Fund zangomhlaka-7 kuMfumfu zibonisa igebe elincane kakhulu. Uphethiloli ongu-95 wawungavuselelwanga wawubekwe ngo-R1.35 ilitha kanye nophethiloli ongu-93 ngo-R1.27.

Kudizili igebe lase licishe livalwe. UDizili ono-0.05% wesulfur ubuphansi ngesenti elilodwa, kanti udizili ono-0.005% wesulfur ubuveza ukuthi kukhona imali eyengeziwe (over-recovery) ngamasenti amabili.

Isilinganiso kusukela ngomhlaka-2 kuMfumfu siphezulu, sime ku-R3.77 kaphethiloli i-95 kanye no-R3.54 kaphethiloli i-93. Ezinhlotsheni ezimbili zikadizili, isilinganiso sime ku-R1.92 no-R2.18, kanti kuparafini sime ku-R4.25. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi ezinsukwini zokuqala zenyanga bekukhona umehluko omkhulu.

Ingxenye enkulu yalo mehluko ibangelwa amanani aphezulu kaphethiloli emhlabeni jikelele la manani enza u-R3.30 esilinganisweni sika-R3.77 kaphethiloli u-95.

Amanye amasenti angu-47 abangelwa ukwehla kwamandla emali yaseNingizimu Afrika (irandi), eyayime ku-R16.62 uma iqhathaniswa nedola ngomhlaka-7 kuMfumfu. ​​INingizimu Afrika ithenga uphethiloli wayo ngamadola.

UMnyango Wezinsiza Zamaminerali kanye Ne-Petroleum uthe izibalo zansuku zonke azikahlolwa ngokusemthethweni futhi ziyinkomba nje. Intengo yokugcina izoncika esilinganisweni senani likawoyela kanye nezinga lokushintshisana ngemali kuyo yonke inyanga, ngakho-ke isimo singashintsha noma ngabe iyiphi indlela.

Ukushintshwa kwentengo kuvame ukuqala ukusebenza ngoLwesithathu wokuqala wenyanga, okungumhlaka-4 kuLwezi.

Udizili uwuphethiloli osetshenziswa amatekisi namaloli amaningi, ngakho-ke yisilinganiso okumele siqashwe maqondana nezindleko zokugibela kanye namanani okudla.
