Motorists can breathe a sigh of relief as the price of petrol will drop by a whopping 67 cents a litre as of tomorrow (3 September).
This was announced by the Department of Energy.
The price of diesel also will drop by 25 cents a litre.
The decrease is attributed to the drop in international crude oil prices as well as the rand exchange rate, which is said to be stable.
