THE REALITY CHECK with Prof. Barney Pityana 

While the government has taken steps to cushion petrol prices last week, it has not provided similar relief for paraffin. As of 1 April 2026, the wholesale price of illuminating paraffin surged by R11.67 per litre. This surge will affect 2 million people or up to 500,000 households who rely on paraffin for basic survival. Our next guest has recently highlighted the severe impact of paraffin price hikes on low-income earners and how they contend with other costs of living such as transport, groceries, etc.
