Brace for a massive fuel price increase

Brace for a massive fuel price increase from Wednesday. This comes hot on the heels of a second week of Stage 6 power cuts. Petrol is going up by a whopping R2.37 a litre for 93 octane while 95 octane will rise by R2.57.

Diesel is going up by between R2.30 and R2.31. Illuminating paraffin is also going up by R1.66 a litre.

Government says the main reasons for the increase are the rising crude oil prices, the rand/dollar exchange rate and the addition of levies that were halted as short-term relieve measure to address the fuel price increases.
