South Africa’s Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has announced an increase in fuel prices with effect from Wednesday, April 1.
Both grades of petrol have gone up by R3.06 per litre, while both grades of diesel have increased by between R7.37 and R7.51 per litre.
Illuminating paraffin has recorded the highest increase, rising by R11.67 per litre.
The latest adjustments to fuel prices come after the government stepped in to cut the general fuel levy by R3 per litre for a one-month period ending on May 5.
This is expected to cost the government around R6 billion in lost revenue.
