SA fuel price hike expected for September 2026

• Fuel prices in South Africa are expected to increase by 66 and 77 cents per litre for petrol, and R2.73 and R2.90 per litre for diesel, starting from September 2, 2026.
• The increases are attributed to rising oil prices due to the US-Israel war with Iran, which has led to a two-month window of discussion ending without a negotiated peace deal.
• The price hikes may impact South African motorists' wallets and could lead to increased costs for fuel, potentially affecting the country's economy and inflation rates.
