Wholesale paraffin will increase by R1.51 a litre and retail, R2.02.
The maximum price of LP gas will increase by R2.50 per kilogram.
Department spokesperson, Robert Maake: “The reasons for these increases are as follows: the higher oil prices during the period under review, which led to higher prices or petroleum products; there is a shortage of diesel in the market globally; the rand’s weakness against the US dollar and contributed around 22 to 26 cents per litre.”
