Well if you hire a car your fuel price is on par with the rest of the world.

The poorest of the poor will feel the effect of the ANC arrogance. These idiots think that they live in a vacuum and can only be hurt by guns.

Sadly, most stereotypes regarding Africa and Africans is just being reinforced and proved correct.

Rand regaining some of the ground lost, hopefully we'll see it drop below R19/$ and see the lower R20,xx against the euro soon.

Wish the politicians can keep their mouths shut for the rest of the year.
