Highest petrol prices in South Africa’s history coming next month

• Petrol prices will surpass the new record high set in June 2026, when the Iran War shock pushed prices to R28.06 per litre.
• The US-Iran War in the Middle East is the main driving force behind the massive under-recoveries in fuel prices.
• Petrol prices could escalate to R28.83 per litre—a disastrous outcome for motorists.
