Here is the official petrol price for June

The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources has published the official fuel price adjustments that will take effect on Wednesday, 4 June 2025.

May saw volatility in the oil price and the strengthening of the rand against the dollar relative to April.

This resulted in a conststent over-recovery in fuel prices throughout the month. However, a hike in the general fuel levy from the latest budget undercut this by around 15 cents per litre.

This has translated to a small cut to fuel prices in June—undone only slightly by a hike in taxes.

As a result, fuel prices will see a small cut of 5 cents per litre for 93 and 95 petrol, and a cut of 37 cents per litre for diesel.

The table below outlines the changes:

Local fuel prices are largely driven by international product prices, which are determined by global oil prices and the rand/dollar exchange.

The average international product prices for petrol increased, whilst that of diesel and illuminating paraffin decreased during the period under review.

The rand appreciated against the US dollar during the period under review, on average, when compared to the previous period.

The average Rand/US Dollar exchange rate for the period 2 May 2025 to 29 May 2025 was 18.1146 compared to 18.8382 during the previous period.

This led to a lower contribution to the Basic Fuel Prices on petrol, diesel and illuminating paraffin by 39.34 c/l, 39.80 c/l, 39.49 c/l, respectively.

The Minister of Finance, in his Budget Speech on 21 May 2025, announced that the fuel levy will increase by 16.0 c/l on petrol and 15.0 c/l on diesel.

With effect from 4 June 2025, the Fuel Levy in the price structure of petrol and diesel will increase to 415.0 c/l and 402.0 c/l respectively and the Road Accident Fund Levy will remain at 218.0 c/l in the price structure of both petrol and diesel.

In addition to the tax changes, the Minister of Minerals and Petroleum Resources approved the revised transport tariffs in certain Magisterial District Zones emanating from the NERSA updated pipeline tariff that utilise Klerksdorp as a supply point.

This has affected the 4 Magisterial District Zones (MDZ) which are 9C, 10C, 11A and 11C. In line with the Ministerial approval, the transport tariffs adjustments that are applicable to petrol and diesel price structures will have an increase of between 0.1 c/l to 2.6 c/l.

However, the price of illuminating paraffin in Zone 11A will also increase by 2.6 c/l. As a result, the different transport tariff adjustments for the 4 MDZs will be implemented with effect from 4 June 2025.

The slate levy remained unchanged at 0 cents per litre for the month.

This is how the price changes will reflect at the pumps (Diesel prices reflect wholesale, pump prices will differ):
