Every first Wednesday of the month we hold our breath… ⛽️
And just like that, the petrol price in South Africa has gone UP again. With the ongoing oil crisis, it’s no surprise—but it still hits hard.
The only small relief? Government stepped in and reduced the petrol levy a bit… but let’s be honest, we still feel it at the pump.
On Friday, I topped up and paid R19.47 per liter
As of today (1 April 2026), the new petrol prices in South Africa are roughly sitting at:
Coastal (like Cape Town):
👉 Petrol 95: about R23.90 – R24.00 per litre
Inland (like Gauteng):
👉 Petrol 95: about R24.50 – R25.00 per litre
Wish this was an April Fools joke… but unfortunately, it’s not! 🤣
