Department of Mineral Resources and Energy
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy regrets to announce that the adjustment of petrol price announced on Monday 29 November was erroneous.
While the reasons for the fuel price adjustments remain as communicated, the accurate petrol price for December 2021 will be adjusted as follows:
❖ | Petrol (both 93 and 95 ULP & LRP): seventy-five cents per litre (75.00 c/l) increase |
The 6 cents difference is due to the fact that the adjustment of wages for service station workers had already been implemented in September 2021.
Although it is for the very first time that such an error has occurred in the history of basic fuel price determination in South Africa, the DMRE profusely apologises for the inconvenience caused. The rest of the fuel prices are correct.
