Annual consumer price inflation slowed marginally to 7.5% in September from 7.6% in August, edging down further from the 13-year high of 7.8% recorded in July.
The easing of inflation was mainly driven by fuel prices declining for a second consecutive month, contributing to the softer headline rate.
However, food price inflation continued to accelerate, Stats SA said, hitting 11.9% in September.
