This will result in a price increase of many other services and products, including food. And with foreign investors withdrawing from South Africa, the fuel price is only the first of many prices that are expected to increase.
Mr Roets advises South Africans to begin budgeting and to avoid high interest credit cards and loans as it would be detrimental to those already in debt.
