Fuel Price Increase
  Fuel prices went up by 16 Lisente on March 14, according to the Mopheme /Survivor newspaper quoting an announcement by the Petroleum Fund.

According to the newspaper, the Fund said increases in the international market price of petroleum products as well as the weakening Rand against the US Dollar had caused this latest price hike.

Petrol will now retail at M4.06 per litre, diesel at M4.26 while domestic paraffin will be sold at M2.81 per litre. Transport differentials will apply for the mountain areas at Five Lisente for the Mphaki area; Eight Lisente for the Thaba Tseka region  and 16 Lisente for the Mokhotlong district.
