Why Is 95 Petrol Increasing?
Two main factors are driving the June petrol price hike :
1. Fuel Levy Relief Being Phased Out
The government’s emergency fuel levy relief, which reduced the general fuel levy by R3.00 per litre in April and May, has been cut in half from June. This adds R1.50 back to every litre of petrol regardless of international oil prices .
2. Slate Levy Increase
A massive R18.28 billion negative balance in the slate fund has led to an increase of 35.04 cents per litre in the slate levy, now sitting at over R1.57 cents per litre .
3. Geopolitical Factors
Brent crude oil prices have remained under pressure due to ongoing tensions between the US and Iran, including the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz .
Diesel Prices: The Good News
While petrol users face another hike, diesel users get significant relief:
| Diesel Type | Price from 3 June 2026 | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Diesel 0.05% (inland wholesale) | R27.92 per litre | ▼ -R3.25 |
| Diesel 0.005% (inland wholesale) | R29.26 per litre | ▼ -R2.62 |

A 100-litre diesel fill-up will now cost around R325 less than last month .
