Show Notes

South African drivers brace for fuel price surge, with petrol up by R3.06 and diesel by R7.37-7.51, blamed on global oil market volatility. Tensions in the Middle East drive energy costs up, while local supplies remain steady. Government cuts fuel levy by R3, but raw sewage spills into rivers and groundwater due to critical failure of nearly half of the countrys wastewater plants. Johannesburg officials patch burst pipe, and Gauteng High Court upholds Andy Mothibis role as top public prosecutor. Weather: hot and humid in Eastern Cape, warm days, fog, and spotty showers elsewhere.
