Can You Really Live With an EV in South Africa Today? I Tried It
When the news of the latest fuel price increases broke, it didn’t matter what you were doing or where you were. You heard about it. Whether it was on the news, in newspapers, or buried somewhere between TikTok scrolls, it found you. That’s the reality of transportation in South Africa. It affects everyone. Personally, I don’t own a car, so the news didn’t hit me immediately. But then it clicked. If fuel goes up, e-hailing prices follow. And suddenly, something that felt dista
Why Legal Accountability in Commuter Transport Matters More Than Ever
With millions of South Africans relying on taxis and buses every day, commuter transport is far more than a convenience.

Absa Increases Fuel Cashback as Prices Hit South Africans Hard
As fuel prices continue to climb, Absa has moved to ease some of the pressure on consumers by increasing cashback rewards on fuel spend. From 1 April 2026, petrol prices rose by more than R3 per litre, with diesel climbing even higher. For many South Africans, fuel remains one of the most significant monthly expenses, directly affecting commuting, business operations and everyday mobility. In response, Absa Rewards has increased its fuel earn cap by R2,000. The temporary adju
Why Waiting Could Be the Most Expensive Business Decision
In business, cost is usually measured in what is spent. Salaries, operations, insurance, overheads. What rarely gets measured, at least not immediately, is the cost of doing nothing.
