Dear Speaker
RE: REQUEST IN TERMS OF RULE 130(1) FOR A DEBATE ON AN URGENT MATTER OF NATIONAL PUBLIC IMPORTANCE
I write to you in respect of the above and more particularly in request that you schedule without delay an urgent matter of national public importance for discussion by the House [Rule 130(1)] on the extremely concerning and prevailing price hike in fuel, and the deleterious effects this will have not only on the South African economy at large, but more importantly on the welfare of ordinary South African citizens who will once again bear the final brunt of the increase of costs to business, who will simply pass such costs increases onto the consumer.
This debate is most necessary at this juncture as I believe alternative means can be found by government to subsidize this increase in costs.
I look forward to your most urgent consideration of my request and your soonest reply
Yours in Service to the Nation
Mkhuleko Hlengwa, MP
