SA fuel price changes expected for August 2026

• South African motorists can expect lower petrol prices, yet higher diesel prices in August 2026.
• The expected fuel price changes are due to global fluctuations in oil prices, with Brent crude oil trading at $93 per barrel and the Rand slightly weakened against the Dollar.
• The Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources will confirm the 5 August fuel prices at the end of July 2026, with the changes set to come into effect on Wednesday, 5 August.
