Town to fuel-pricing zone lookup
Every town and place name matched to its official fuel-pricing zone code, the zone each month's gazetted prices are set for.
01
What it holds
How far it reaches
385 places: 378 magisterial districts with their codes, and 7 Namakwaland areas the list defines by coordinates, each with the fuel-pricing zone it's in (52 of the 54 zones; no district is listed for 10A and 60C), from National Treasury's list. Next: confirm against the department's own zone list, which isn't online.
How often it changes
Monthly
Checked with each monthly fuel price release; the list itself changes rarely (last 8 November 2021).
Where the figures come from
National Treasury. The town list comes from National Treasury, whose copyright notice allows non-commercial informational use only; published free on that basis.
02
Measured accuracy
Not checked against a source page: its town list has no page-level facts recorded yet, so it is not checked this way yet. 50 records sampled on 12 November 2026. The sample and any failures.
