The Department of Minerals and Energy is expected to make the fuel price adjustment announcement early next week, as fuel prices increase on the 1st of June.

Rising fuel prices will affect the economy and consumers

AA spokesperson Layton Beard says, in terms of petrol prices, the data is showing an increase of up to R2.40 and R1.10 for diesel, while the price for illuminating paraffin will be around R1.54.Every aspect of the economy, consumers and businesses alike will be hard hit by the fuel hike. “The impact is going to be quite severe and it’s going to have a ripple effect further down the economy on a macro level in terms of inflation,” Beards adds.

Chief Executive Officer of Road Freight Association, Gavin Kelly, says that cost increase in operating a transport service will be felt most by the customer. There are concerns that the elevated fuel prices will not budge for some time and there’s a general consensus that the government needs to start thinking out of the box on working toward a sustainable economy.
