💨 Abstract

The article discusses the projected petrol price hikes for April 2026 in South Africa, driven by global energy market volatility due to Middle East conflicts. Key points include: - Brent crude oil prices surged above $115 per barrel due to conflicts but have since dropped below $100. - South Africa, reliant on imported fuel, faces significant price increases due to global shocks and a weak rand.
