# The Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry warns that sharp fuel price increases will severely impact Durban’s logistics-driven economy. Petrol has risen by over three-rand per litre, with diesel up more than five-rand per litre, placing pressure on businesses and consumers. Panic buying has also been reported, while motorists say rising fuel costs are pushing them to financial breaking point. The chamber’s CEO Palesa Philli says the hike could lead to job losses as transport costs surge.
