Since late last week, the media has been abuzz with reports of petrol stations selling contaminated diesel. This follows an investigation by Energy Department which found  that 70 filling stations across the country were selling contaminated diesel which they mixed with illuminating paraffin. Sadly though is that so many cars are probably damaged costing millions of rands to those who may have fallen victim to the scam.

‘What is happening at petrol stations?’

In the build-up to the #2025MatricResults, we take a moment to reflect on the decisions these young school leavers need to make in choosing their vocation and how they should approach learning in higher education.

Personal Finance with Christo and Phinda

We turn our focus now on coverage for retired government employees and the problems they encounter. In December last year, we received a call from a retired government employee who outlined the challenges they face once retiring.
