Petrol is going down … by one cent
Here's what you'll pay from midnight.
South African motorists will face higher petrol prices effective Wednesday, with the government announcing a 1 cent per litre decrease for both 93-octane and 95-octane petrol. The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE) cited international petroleum product prices, the rand-dollar exchange rate, and uncertainties caused by the Middle East conflict as key factors behind the price hike.
