The price of petrol is expected to increase from Wednesday, while diesel will cost 21 cents less.
The Energy Department says both grades of petrol will increase by 1 cent a litre.

Despite stronger oil prices and a weaker rand exchange rate in August, international prices of all refined petroleum products decreased.
