The price of petrol in South Africa’s economic hub of Gauteng will fall to the lowest since March next month.

A litre of 95-octane petrol will decrease by R1.23 to R14.01 in Gauteng, the Central Energy Fund said in an e-mailed statement Friday. Diesel will decline R1.53/l to R13.13/l.

Fuel prices in South Africa, which imports oil, surged to a record in October as the rand depreciated and international crude prices rose. — Reported by Jacqueline Mackenzie, (c) 2018 Bloomberg LP
