ℹ️ How the update schedule & speculative window work
🔄 Update schedule: prices here are confirmed and re-locked around the DMPR announcement (typically the Tuesday before, occasionally a day earlier as this cycle) — then held steady while the next prediction settles, with a new forecast for the following change appearing around the 18th of the month.
🔮 Speculative window: CEF publishes daily under/over-recovery data throughout the whole review period, but the numbers only become reportable around 10–14 days out — the AA issues its own mid-month and end-of-month forecasts, and media (BusinessTech, MyBroadband, IOL, AutoTrader) picks them up from there. The figures on this page reflect the latest reportable CEF data, not the earliest daily movement.

⛽ Petrol & diesel — grouped by zone

Coastal and Inland are the two official CEF/AA benchmarks. Gauteng is the Inland benchmark itself, so it's shown as one zone rather than duplicated.

🎯 Source reliability

DMPR (Dept. of Mineral & Petroleum Resources) — the actual decision-maker; publishes the binding official statement on gov.za that this dashboard's "Confirmed" figures come from.
Definitive — the source of record
Central Energy Fund (CEF) — primary source of daily under/over-recovery data DMPR bases its decision on, ahead of the official announcement.
Highest reliability (pre-announcement)
Automobile Association (AA) — interprets CEF data twice monthly; no independent figures of its own.
High, derivative of CEF
Media (BusinessTech, Moneyweb, IOL, TheSouthAfrican) — republish CEF/AA, useful for frequency only.
Medium — verify against CEF/AA
