UASA Media Release: 02 September 2025
Statement by Abigail Moyo, spokesperson of the trade union UASA:
UASA welcomes the drop in fuel prices, which come into effect at midnight.
The Department of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (DPMR) announced that all grades of petrol and diesel will be cheaper.
Driven by lower international fuel prices, petrol prices are down by 56c/L for the 93-grade and 57c/L for the 95-grade. Diesel will cost R18.61 per litre on the coast and R19.44 per litre inland.
Illuminating paraffin prices will drop by 49c/L, while LPG prices will be R1.32 per kg less, which is good news for low-income households that depend on paraffin for cooking and heating.
UASA strongly urges its members and consumers to adhere to sound financial strategies, even as prices decrease.
