- SA Raises Petrol: What About Eswatini?
MBABANE – Motorists in Eswatini will be watching closely after South Africa announced significant fuel price adjustments set to take effect on Wednesday.
The South African Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has confirmed that petrol prices will increase by R1.50 per litre, while diesel prices will decrease by R2.94 per litre.
The development has sparked questions about whether Eswatini will also adjust its fuel prices, given the close economic ties and fuel supply relationship between the two neighbouring countries.
Authorities in Eswatini are yet to announce any changes to local fuel prices. However, consumers and businesses alike will be keenly awaiting the next fuel price review to see if the South African adjustments will have an impact locally.
Any fuel price changes in Eswatini could affect transport costs, the movement of goods and overall consumer spending.
More details are expected once local authorities provide an update.
