Fuel price expected to increase in October: AA
The weakening rand and stronger international petroleum prices will see an about-turn in South Africa's recent period of fuel price reductions.
This is according to the Automobile Association ( AA) who are commenting on unaudited mid-month fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund.
Spokesperson, Layton Beard, says diesel and illuminating paraffin are showing price increases of around 24 cents a litre at the end of September and the beginning of October.
In July, refinery and depot workers downed tools after resolutions in wage talks were not reached. Some filling stations across KZN were not affected by the strike in terms of supply.
