Struggling consumers are facing huge fuel price increases next week.
On Wednesday, the cost of 93-octane petrol will rise by 37-cents a litre, with 95-octane going up by 36-cents a litre.
Diesel prices will rise by 35-cents a litre, paraffin by 30-cents and LP gas by no less than 62-cents a kilogram.
The weaker Rand caused the increases, as it cancelled the decrease in the cost of crude oil. In addition, the margin on all grades of petrol will increase by four-cents a litre.
The Energy Department says the hike is necessary to cater for wage increases of nine-percent this year for service station industry staff.
