South Africa's diesel motorists are set for another painful increase at the pumps in August, with projections pointing to hikes of over R1.50 per litre. This follows a surge in international oil prices due to geopolitical tensions involving the US and Iran, which has driven up diesel prices. The increase is likely to have a knock-on effect across the economy, as higher transport and logistics costs often feed through into consumer prices. Petrol users, meanwhile, are expected to receive a small reprieve, with modest price cuts anticipated.
