]]> South Africa’s fuel prices are getting a bump next week, and most drivers will feel it at the pumps. The changes kick in on Wednesday, 4 March 2026, after the monthly review that looks at what’s happening with oil prices around the world and the strength of the rand.

 

Here’s why the increases are happening:

  • Crude oil prices climbed from an average of $64.08 to $69.08 per barrel. Higher shipping costs and worries about possible supply problems in the Middle East (thanks to tension between the US and Iran) pushed prices up.
  • Refined product prices on the international market followed the same upward trend, adding extra cost to petrol, diesel and paraffin.
  • Propane and butane prices also rose because of cold weather in the northern hemisphere and tighter global supplies.
  • The rand actually got a little stronger (moving from R16.31 to R16.00 against the dollar), but the overall calculation still added a small upward push to the basic fuel price.
  • The government’s slate levy stays at zero cents per litre because the current balance is positive.
