The taxi industry will engage the government over fuel increases, which are set to take effect on 7 October. From midnight, 93 unleaded petrol will rise by R3.12 a litre, while 95 unleaded petrol will increase by R3.33 a litre. Diesel prices will also surge, increasing by either R2.84 or R3.24 a litre, depending on the grade. Households that rely on illuminating paraffin will also feel the pinch, with the wholesale price increasing by R3.58 a litre.
