Petrol, diesel prices to rise at midnight
JOHANNESBURG - If you want to save a few rand, you should head to your nearest filling station before midnight.
The petrol price will go up by 51 cents a litre for both grades.
Diesel will climb by a whopping R1.43 a litre.
Illuminating paraffin will also rise by 77 cents.
This will push the price of diesel -- already reeling from increased demand and limited supply -- to record highs.
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy says that higher prices were mainly driven by a weaker rand and increased international oil prices.
