South Africa Announces November 2025 Petrol Price Cuts
Fuel Price Adjustment Brings Relief for Motorists
Motorists across South Africa will benefit from notable fuel price cuts in November 2025, following the Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ latest announcement. The adjustments, effective Wednesday, 5 November 2025, come after a month marked by global oil price fluctuations between $58 and $68 per barrel and a stronger rand averaging R17.30/$.

The new fuel prices reflect decreases across all categories, providing much-needed relief ahead of the festive season.
