The holiday has already begun for many, and will have to pay more for petrol and less for diesel from Wednesday.
Petrol increases by R0-11 per liter for 93 as well as for 95 degrees, but diesel decreases in price by R0-18 and paraffin decreases by Ro-21 for December month.
Economic experts say the rise in gasoline prices, and the slight drop in diesel and paraffin prices, could be attributed to the weak Rand, which just failed to return to its levels two years ago.
A spokesperson for the AA said last weekend that calculations indicate that the price of this fuel will fall further during January 2019.
The expectation is that petrol may drop about R1.19 and diesel prices may decrease by R1.44 while lamp oil (paraffin) is expected to fall by R1.32.
Experts say that price is still too high and should fall by at least another R4.20, but the eagerness of the regime makes the motorist a the most convenient target to exploit .
