The Once Proud Boer City Nicknamed Rosestad Is No More. Tuesday was the 12th day in which garbage was not collected by the municipality of Bloemfontein, causing mountains of black refuse bags to lie uncollected in the streets in neighborhoods like Pelissier and Lourierpark. Small-scale black farmers close by have been letting their pigs invade the neighbourhoods, ripping open the refuse bags looking for food, leaving a big mess.

Holidaymakers will now have to pay more for that long-awaited holiday due to rise in fuel prices
Posted on Leave a comment
The holiday has already begun for many, and will have to pay more for petrol and less for diesel from Wednesday.
Petrol increases by R0-11 per liter for 93 as well as for 95 degrees, but diesel decreases in price by R0-18 and paraffin decreases by Ro-21 for December month.
Economic experts say the rise in gasoline prices, and the slight drop in diesel and paraffin prices, could be attributed to the weak Rand, which just failed to return to its levels two years ago.

Bad news for motorists: Biggest petrol, diesel price hike ‘in SA’s history’ – unleaded octane fuel inland will cost you close to R17 a litre,

“Mid-month unaudited data from the Central Energy Fund (CEF) is predicting the biggest fuel price hike in South Africa’s history by some margin,” reports the Automobile Association (AA) which has monitored the fuel price data from 1 September to date.
The AA said: “A spike in international oil prices and a huge swing in the Rand/US dollar exchange rate have combined to predict a knockout blow at the pumps at the end of September.
“Based on the current data, petrol users will be paying R1.12 more per litre.”
The AA says diesel users who will be hit hardest, with a possible price hike of R1.38 per litre, pushing diesel to within a whisker of R16 per litre.

It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – Petrol price increase in March to be higher than first expected

The petrol price increase in March is expected to shock South Africans, with a hefty hike eclipsing original estimates.
It seems likely that rolling petrol price increases, last experienced in the latter half of 2018, are expected to make a dubious return this year – starting next month. While first estimates, released by the Central Energy Fund (CEF) earlier in the month, proposed a hike of 43 cents per litre for petrol and 60 cents per litre for diesel, recent revelations paint a grim picture for South Africans.
Petrol price increase in March
The Automobile Association (AA) of South Africa noted that a steady increase in international oil prices, coupled with a weakening rand – both experienced after the first estimate tabled by the CEF – had since altered original evaluations. The Energy Department has echoed the AA’s sentiments – pointing to mooted increases which almost double first guesses.

The Automobile Association says South Africa motorists can expect “massive” fuel price cuts in January
Posted on Leave a comment
A spokesperson for the AA said last weekend that calculations indicate that the price of this fuel will fall further during January 2019.
The expectation is that petrol may drop about R1.19 and diesel prices may decrease by R1.44 while lamp oil (paraffin) is expected to fall by R1.32.
Experts say that price is still too high and should fall by at least another R4.20, but the eagerness of the regime makes the motorist a the most convenient target to exploit .
