After a strong recovery at the start of August, a stable global oil price and a stronger rand against the dollar have led to a significant reduction in petrol and diesel prices.
This marks the fourth consecutive decrease at the pumps, with petrol prices dropping by 92 cents per litre and diesel prices falling between 79 and 105 cents per litre.
According to chart by Business Tech, this is how the price changes will reflect at the pumps (Diesel prices reflect wholesale, pump prices will differ):
