How do you feel about the fuel protests and have you been impacted? We want to hear from you

Do you support the protests? Has your opinion changed since they began?

LAST UPDATE | 9 Apr

THE PROTESTS AGAINST high fuel prices are now in their third day. 

Streets have been blocked, fuel facilities have been blockaded and public transport has been disrupted.

The government’s emergency group has heard that if the protests persist, drinking water, medical supplies and school bus services will be impacted. 

The US-Israeli war against Iran has led to soaring oil prices, which has led petrol and diesel prices to spike. 

The protesters are calling for further reductions of fuel taxes, after the government cut excise duty on diesel by 20 cent and by 15 cent on petrol until the end of May.

We want to know what you make of all this and if you have been directly impacted. 

Do you support the protests? Has your opinion changed since they began? Have you had to change plans or reschedule appointments?
