Big fuel increase on Wednesday
Petrol will increase by 74 cents per litre and almost R1 per litre of diesel from the first Wednesday in the month, 6 March.

NATIONAL NEWS - It is official, petrol will increase by 74 cents per litre and diesel by almost R1 per litre from tomorrow, Wednesday 6 March.

The government in the budget speech announced further taxes on fuel as well as an increase in the general fuel levy and Road Accident Fund contribution, which will add 20 cents per litre to the fuel price from the start of April.

There will probably be little price relief after that, with a carbon tax kicking in in June, adding 9 and 10 cents to petrol and diesel, respectively.
