GUEST – Koketso Mano, FNB Senior Economist

The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has published the official fuel price adjustments that will kick in on Wednesday, 4 September 2024.

This has translated to a fourth consecutive cut at the pumps, with prices coming down by 92 cents per litre for petrol and between 79 and 105 cents per litre for diesel.
