South Africans may have a little reprieve at the pumps in June.  

Month-end data from the Central Energy Fund forecasts petrol prices will drop by an estimated R1 per litre.

Diesel prices could drop by at least 90 cents a litre. 

The welcome news is due to a much stronger rand and lower global oil prices in May. 

The Department of Minerals and Energy will confirm the official petrol price next week.
