The Reserve Bank cares
IT was so sweet of Tito Mboweni to care about the increased price of petrol. Earlier in June he was reportedly worried that persistently high oil prices were translating into higher petrol prices that "all of us have to suffer under". Absolutely right Tito, old bean, but how about this for an idea: why not persuade your mates in the Department of Minerals and Energy to persuade the Treasury to reduce the amount of levies and taxes plonked on top of the pump price. Right now it is about 38 cents a litre. Cutting that a bit would help us poor motorists.
