The Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, Gwede Mantashe, has announced an adjustment to fuel prices, effective from Wednesday, 6 May 2026.
South Africas fuel prices are adjusted monthly, informed by international and local factors. International factors include the fact that South Africa imports both crude oil and finished products at international prices, including import costs such as shipping.
According to the department, the average Brent crude oil price increased from 93.67 US dollars USD to 101 USD during the period under review.
