The Department of Energy will lower both petrol & diesel prices at the start of the month. People across the country have been asking for cheaper fuel and they will finally get what they wanted. The price cut will begin on September. This change will help many South Africans save money when they fill up their cars.
Petrol Price Drop Explained – Why South Africans Should Take Notice
Prices went down because of two main things:
– Oil became cheaper worldwide as more oil was made & there were fewer problems between countries.
– The South African Rand got stronger against the US dollar which made it cheaper to buy fuel from other places.
The government also helped by changing some fuel taxes. These lower prices are good news for people who have been struggling to pay for basic things like food & getting to work.
