The Department of Mineral Resources and Energy has announced that diesel prices will increase for the month of March.

The recent geopolitical unrest in the Middle East has caused an escalation in international oil prices.

In light of this, Thrutainers International has amended the Fuel Surcharge (FSC) from 16.01% to 17.90% and Merchant Haulage increases to R11 w/m. The new rates will be effective 4th March 2026.
