UASA Media Release: 18 March 2026

Workers face inflation challenges amid rising oil prices

Statement by Abigail Moyo, spokesperson of the trade union UASA:

Statistics South Africa announced this morning that annual inflation slowed to 3% in February from 3.5% in January, partly due to delayed increases in medical aid rates.

While the 3% Consumer Price Index (CPI) is good news, the looming oil price crisis set to impact South Africa in the coming months will soon overshadow it. The volatile global energy markets, driven by ongoing conflict in the Middle East, threaten to reverse recent progress in curbing inflation. Surging oil prices are expected to undermine these gains as external factors, and particularly energy prices, are beyond the country’s control.

The SARB will likely maintain current interest rates at its next Monetary Policy Committee meeting, as escalating oil prices push inflation expectations higher, and may signal revised inflation forecasts at its upcoming meeting, highlighting the urgency for workers to prepare for ongoing economic uncertainty.

Other contributors to the lower CPI were housing and utilities, which accounted for 1.1 percentage points of the headline rate. Food and non-alcoholic beverages stood at 3.7%, and insurance and financial services at 4.7%.

With fuel prices set to soar and inflation expectations rising to 5.4% for the next year, workers face a tough road ahead. The sharp rise in fuel prices predicted for April will have a knock-on effect across other goods and services, for an unknown period. UASA advises workers to brace themselves for severe price shocks amid the anticipated surge in living costs.

UASA engages Global Mining leaders on workers’ health and safety standards

In Picture: Delegates at the IndustriALL Global Union-Anglo American Global Network Meeting.

The UASA Minerals Division participated in the IndustriALL Global Union – Anglo American Global Network Meeting held in Rosebank, Johannesburg. The two-day meeting was attended by union affiliates from South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Australia and Zimbabwe who engaged on key issues affecting workers in the global mining sector.

Addressing delegates at the meeting, IndustriALL Assistant General Secretary Kemal Özkan highlighted the importance of strong international cooperation between unions to ensure that workers’ interests remain central in the operations of the mining companies that they represent.

Key focus of the discussions was the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the unions and Anglo American, with particular attention given to strengthening health and safety standards across operations. UASA strongly believes that the safety and wellbeing of workers must remain a priority in the mining sector.

These discussions provide a broader regional perspective and reinforce the importance of collaboration among unions to address shared concerns, including workplace safety and the need for responsible and sustainable mining practices. Through such engagements, UASA continues to advocate for stronger and responsible mining practices that respect workers and communities.

As an affiliate of IndustriALL Global Union, UASA remains committed to working with global partners to advance the rights, safety and dignity of workers in the mining sector.
