South African motor-vehicle operators above the age of 60 are being forewarned of the new regulations that will take place in renewing driving licenses from 5 January 2026.

fuel price expected to decrease on 3 Jully 2024


According to the latest unaudited data from the CEF, ULP93 and ULP95 are expected to drop by about R1/l while diesel and illuminating paraffin prices are likely to drop by about 30c/l and 25c/l respectively.

A second consecutive drop in fuel prices is good news for consumers, motorists and the economy. Lower fuel prices will especially benefit South Africans with vehicles who will save a little on their monthly transport budgets. 
Consumers will also benefit as input costs won’t be negatively affected and prices at the till are unlikely to increase, the AA said.

While the rand has performed stronger against the US dollar in recent weeks, its affect on the decreases is minimal in the context of the bigger picture which the CEF data indicates is being driven almost entirely by movements in international product pricing.

The AA said if the expected decreases are realised, fuel pricing would be similar to December 2023 when a litre of ULP95, for example, cost R23.25 inland.

Though we expect fuel to be cheaper in July, we remain concerned about soaring prices which affect all consumers. 
A sustainable solution to mitigating rising fuel costs is still necessary and until that solution is found, citizens will be at the mercy of fuel price hikes. 
As the country awaits finalisation of the new cabinet, we implore the new administration to prioritise finding sustainable solutions to rising fuel costs by conducting a long overdue and transparent review of the fuel pricing structure, the AA said.
Lets hope for the best and see what happens.
