JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- South Africa's Road Freight Association said on Tuesday that the latest fuel price increases will force it to increase transportation charges.
The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy recently announced that there will be a fuel price increase with effect from Wednesday as a result of some rising international fuel prices and the depreciation of the country's currency, Rand. As from Nov. 2, the price of both grades of petrol (93 and 95) will increase by 51 cents per liter.
