Stephen Grootes speaks to Robert Attwell, CEO of Discovery Insure, about how South African motorists are changing their driving and refuelling habits in response to rising fuel prices. New data from Discovery shows that fuel purchases dropped 33% following October's price increase, while the number of trips fell by just 6%. Motorists are buying smaller amounts of fuel more frequently, with average monthly fuel spending climbing from R1,750 to as much as R2,700 since the start of 2025.

In other interviews, Peter Tshisevhe, Director of TGR Attorneys talks about the growing number of international law firms scaling back their presence in South Africa. From the closure of A&O Shearman and Hogan Lovells' Johannesburg offices to Norton Rose Fulbright's South African operations becoming independent, the country's legal industry is undergoing a significant shift. Now, Linklaters and Webber Wentzel are ending their longstanding alliance.
