Motorists in Gauteng say they are frustrated and concerned as fuel prices are set to increase from tomorrow.
The price hike follows an announcement by Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe, who cited global oil supply disruptions linked to tensions between the United States and Iran, as well as a weaker rand.
The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources says that from 6 May 2026, petrol will increase by R3.27 per litre, diesel by R6.19, wholesale paraffin by R4.22, and LP Gas by up to R5.78 per kilogram.
