Consumers are facing a record-breaking fuel price hike, which has forced households to severely tighten their budgets.
Surging global oil prices due to tensions in the Middle East, a weaker rand, and increased local taxes have sparked the fuel price increase.
The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources says both grades of petrol are up by R3.06 per litre, while both grades of diesel have increased by between R7.37 and R7.51 per litre.
