The price of LP gas will increase by 75c per kilogram as of June 7.

This is according to the Department of Energy’s Robert Maake.

The gas price increase will place further strain on households who have turned to this energy source to mitigate the impact of load shedding.

Meanwhile, the price of petrol will decrease by 71c a litre, while the cost of diesel will see a drop by 80 and 84 cents per litre.
