The Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources announces the adjustment of fuelprices based on current local and international factors with effect from the 5th ofNovember 2025.
South Africa’s fuel prices are adjusted monthly, informed by international and localfactors. International factors include the fact that South Africa imports both crude oiland finished products at a price set at the international level, including importationcosts, e.g., shipping costs.The main reasons for the fuel price adjustments are due to:
1. Crude oil pricesThe average Brent Crude oil price decreased from 67.16 US Dollars (USD) to64.14 USD during the period under review. The decrease in the price of crude oilis due to oversupply because of increased global production as well as uncertaintycaused by continued trade tensions which could affect economic growth anddemand for crude oil.
2. International petroleum product pricesThe average international prices of petrol and diesel followed the decreasing trendof crude oil prices. This led to lower contributions to the Basic Fuel Prices (BFP)of petrol by 39.94 cents per litre (c/l) and diesel by 8.83 c/l. On the other hand,illuminating paraffin prices increased and resulted in a higher contribution to BFPMedia Statement – Fuel Price Adjustments for November 2025 by 10.96 c/l.

3. Rand/US Dollar exchange rateThe Rand appreciated on average, against the US Dollar (USD), (from 17.49 to17.29 Rand per USD) during the period under review when compared to theprevious one. This led to lower contributions to the Basic Fuel Prices of petrol by10.60 c/l, diesel by 11.77 c/l and Illuminating paraffin by 11.53 c/l, respectively.
4. Implementation of the Slate LevyThe cumulative slate amounted to a positive balance of R3.74 billion for petrol anddiesel of at the end of September 2025.
