Motorists can look forward to some relief at the pumps as fuel prices are set to decrease slightly next month.
Preliminary data from the Central Energy Fund indicates a possible 4 cents drop for a litre of 95-grade petrol while 93-grade will likely go down by 12 cents per litre.
Diesel is expected to drop by 55 cents per litre and paraffin will drop by 37 cents per litre.
The Minerals and Energy Department says these decreases are largely due to favourable rand/dollar exchange rates-and fairly contained global oil prices.
The department is expected to make adjustment announcement next week before taking effect on Wednesday.

The recently held Women in Business Seminar in Region C ( which includes suburbs in the Roodepoort and Randburg areas) was a huge success, highlighting women's leadership abilities.
Hosted at the Roodepoort Civic Centre, the event was a joint initiative between the Department of Economic Development and the City of Johannesburg.
This brought together inspiring speakers who delivered powerful messages on leadership, innovation, and collaboration.
The seminar covered topics such as wellness, financial literacy, and business opportunities, with support from stakeholders like Sanlam, Harmony Gold Mine, and Absa.

Gqeberha last week played host to the Rugby 4 Women Empowerment where some of region’s top female rugby talent was on show.
The event featured a variety of women's empowerment initiatives and workshops, including sessions on gender-based violence, period positivity, and self-defence.
The tournament, backed by the Kolisi Foundation, the Reeva Steenkamp Foundation and Gift of the Givers, aims to create meaningful opportunities while providing a platform for emerging players to compete at an elite level.
