The @MetrorailWC is still the most efficient way to travel around @CityofCT. If only we could improve the signaling, and maybe then we can increase the frequency of trains outside of peak travel time. Cape Town to Newlands in just under 20 mins, and for R7, 50.

Lower international fuel prices and a stronger Rand have both contributed to a drop of 92c/l. in the price of fuel. It is the fourth consecutive month fuel prices have decreased. You will now pay R21,79/l for 93ULP in Gauteng and R21,00/l in the Western Cape. @CapeTalk @Radio702

Are we going to enjoy a Summer free of load-shedding? @Eskom_SA says that it will be so if we keep breakdowns below 13,000MW. And in the unlikely event of unplanned [generation] losses rising to 15,000MW we will at most experience stage 2 load-shedding. @CapeTalk @Radio702
