A Night with Feli Nandi at Hard Rock Café, Sandton

 Yesterday I attended Feli Nandi's show at Hard Rock Café in Sandton, Johannesburg — and what a night it was. The show was epic. Just when we thought the legacy of voices like Chiwosino Maraire was gone, Feli reminded us that the genre lives on.  https://x.com/NandiFeli?t=p7yxFWzqtvHM6HD13b-QPg&s=08 Feli Nandi is the real deal. The woman is good — her voice, her energy, her ever-smiling presence lit up the whole stage. She’s a true people’s person. The crowd fed off her vibe and she gave it right back. Flanked by friends and fellow artists like Joe Thomas (yes, the Joe Thomas of “I Wanna Know”), Makhadzi and others, she held her own and more. It’s worth it to attend her shows — you leave feeling uplifted. She performed to a fully packed café. Zimbabweans came out strong to support the gig. Some were dressed traditionally, proudly showing off culture. I remember one couple in matching colors — it was beautiful to see. Feli herself was dressed in white, glowing under the lig...

Oil prices drop amid faltering demand outlook

Oil prices fell more than 1%, dropping for a third session, after official data showed that refining throughput and economic activity slowed in China in an indicator that fresh Covid-19 outbreaks are crimping the world's no.2 economy.

• Fuel prices will see another adjustment at the end of August 2021.

• It's predicted that diesel will decrease by around 16c/litre.

• The changes in local fuel prices are due to declines in international petroleum prices.

Reporting on unaudited mid-month fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund, the Automobile Association (AA) notes that the price per litre for petrol and diesel could see modest changes when September 2021 comes around. According to the AA, it's expected that petrol will increase by around four cents a litre, while diesel could see a 16c decrease per litre.

The AA says: "The Rand's average exchange rate was virtually flat against the US dollar in the first two weeks of August - it has moved less than three cents. But the local currency is trending weaker, and this may weigh more heavily against the fuel price by month-end."

The adjustment in fuel prices comes on the back of declines in international petroleum prices.

Reopening of N3 encouraging

In July, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel -which had limited oil production due to decreased demand during the pandemic - announced that it would increase output by 400 000 barrels a day from August until the previous restriction had been eliminated. Commenting on this, the AA says: "This should improve oil price stability throughout August, although it could be countered by Covid-19-related uncertainty as new variants of the disease affect economic activity worldwide."

In local affairs, the AA commented that the SAPREF refinery, which was shut down under force majeure due to the recent unrest, had been slated for re-start on 21 July. The refinery had indicated this would take around ten days to complete. 

"We, therefore, don't anticipate fuel shortages related to either the refinery or bulk transport of fuel by road - indications are that the N3 corridor between KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng is stable and has not experienced significant disruptions since it was reopened, which is encouraging," the Association concludes.

Car Hijackings in South Africa.

-
 Being a resident of the South African Community, l have came to realize that in some cases we have Car hijackings that will leave one to wonder what will have happened and where did those robbers comes from. The events unfold in a very fast and violent  manner which no-one will be prepared for. Its so traumatic, horrific and in some cases individuals end up loosing their lives.  l realized that these individuals who carry out such bad things works with someone who either will be seeing you close by or else you will be drinking on the same counter in a bar and he is relaying the information to those waiting for you outside. It's so unfortunate that some people that we meet are not there for the social life that you go for. They are on a mission to take you down. It is difficult to raise public awareness and advise people to be vigilant. However a few tips can try to raise awareness such as if you see that you are being followed drive to the nearest police station. In publ...
