July Fuel Price Will Cost an Extra R25 a Tank, on Average

SOUTH AFRICA, JUL 1 – Petrol rises by up to 55 cents and diesel by up to 84 cents per litre due to global oil price surges amid Middle East tensions, affecting South African motorists.

  • Midnight on Tuesday, 1 July, marked the start of fuel price increases following four months of declines, as announced by South Africa’s Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources.
  • Driven by Middle East tensions and US strikes, global oil prices surged, causing under-recoveries that led to fuel price hikes in July.
  • South African fuel prices increased at midnight on July 1, with inland petrol reaching R21.79/l and diesel rising by 82-84c/l across Gauteng and coastal areas, following a global oil surge.
  • For South African motorists, higher fuel prices take effect this week, while exemptions for low-income households provide some relief from certain charges.
  • The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources confirms that fuel prices will be adjusted again at midnight on 5 August 2025, with market tensions and currency trends influencing future stability.
