Petrol pump prices in the main inland commercial region of Gauteng will increase by 34c or 3.2% a litre next Wednesday, the Energy Department said on Friday.

South Africa is a net importer of oil and adjusts its fuel price each month to account for changes in the dollar/rand exchange rate, the international oil price and government levies.
