# South African motorists are being warned of another sharp increase in fuel prices expected next month, driven by rising global oil prices and ongoing tensions in the Middle East. Diesel could rise by nearly six-rand a litre, while petrol is also set to rise by around two-rand per litre. Illuminating paraffin could increase by about five-rand per litre. The government is expected to decide soon whether to extend the fuel levy relief before the new prices take effect next month.
