The increases to diesel prices will be record hikes.

Illuminating paraffin prices are also slated to increase significantly by as much as R2.80/l, pushing the cost of this fuel to R17.43/l inland and R16.50/l at the coast.The expected increases are largely being driven by higher international oil prices which have risen on the back of slow demand and decreased output.
