Show Notes
South African drivers brace for unprecedented fuel price hikes, with diesel potentially surpassing R28.81 per liter, marking the first time it exceeds R10 in the countrys history. Petrol ninety-three will rise to approximately R25.64, while ninety-five octane hits R26.27 per liter, including a 21 cent tax increase. These increases are due to massive under-recoveries and global tensions, such as the conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. Fuel rationing is already in place in some regions, and farmers are particularly affected during key planting seasons. Government officials assure stable fuel supplies, urging calm and warning against panic buying. Experts suggest developing local oil resources to mitigate future shocks, but for now, drivers are advised to fill up normally and stay informed.
