South African motorists are facing substantial fuel price increases in September. Petrol prices are set to rise by R1.34 per litre, while diesel will become more expensive by R2.94 per litre. This increase places additional financial strain on consumers already grappling with a challenging economic climate. The hikes are attributed to international oil price fluctuations and a weaker Rand. Experts indicate limited options for consumers to mitigate the impact, predicting continued pressure on household budgets. The rising fuel costs are also expected to contribute to inflationary pressures across various sectors of the economy. These increases are effective immediately and will remain in place for the month of September.
