The ministry notes that fuel prices are adjusted monthly based on global oil prices and the rand exchange rate.
International factors, including the cost of importing crude oil and finished products, as well as shipping costs, influence these adjustments.
Reports indicate that this will be the fourth consecutive month that South Africa has lowered fuel prices, bringing them down from around R25.15 in May.
