BRACE FOR IMPACT: Massive Fuel Price Hikes Coming May 6th

​Despite the National Treasury extending the fuel levy relief, South Africans are facing a major economic shock next week. Analysts warn that the relief—R3/litre for petrol and R3.93/litre for diesel—won’t be enough to cushion the blow of rising global costs.
​
​Independent Economist Elize Kruger has highlighted a staggering cumulative increase over April and May:

​Petrol: Expected to rise by another R2.00 per litre on Wednesday, May 6th. This brings the total two-month increase to roughly R5.00/litre.

​Diesel: Expected to rise by another R3.60 per litre on May 6th. Combined with April's massive jump, diesel will be up by a total of R11.00/litre in just two months.
​
​This isn't just about the cost of filling up your tank. Experts warn this will trigger a widespread price shock across the country:

​Inflation Spike: Inflation could average up to 4.6% if these prices stay high.

​Food Prices: With diesel being the backbone of logistics and farming, expect the cost of groceries to climb.

​Transport Costs: Public transport and delivery fees are likely to see upward pressure.

​"This remains a notable shock to the economy." — Elize Kruger, Independent Economist
​The ongoing conflict in the Middle East continues to be the primary driver behind these soaring global oil prices.
