The price for 93 unleaded petrol (ULP) and lead replacement petrol (LRP) will increase by 4c/ℓ, while the price of 95 ULP and LRP will also increase by 4c/ℓ.
Diesel (0.05% sulphur) will decrease by 15.22c/ℓ and diesel (0.005% sulphur) by 14.22c/ℓ.
Moreover, illuminating paraffin (wholesale) will decrease by 15c/ℓ.

South Africa’s fuel prices are adjusted on a monthly basis, informed by international and local factors.
Factors influencing September’s price adjustments include the implementation of the slate levy. An increase of 8.78c/ℓ will be implemented into the price structures of petrol and diesel in line with the Self-Adjusting Slate Mechanism rules, effective from September 1.
Also, Mantashe approved a 5.7c/ℓ increase in the price structures of petrol to accommodate the wage increases for forecourt employees in line with the Motor Industry Bargaining Council agreement.
