South Africans bought 35% less fuel in April compared to March, according to new data from Discovery Insure. The analysis, based on telematics and fuel reward card swipes from over 200,000 clients, shows how motorists responded to the fuel price increase on 1 April, which saw petrol climb by R3,06 per litre and diesel by as much as R7,51 per litre.
The analysis also showed that fuel transactions dropped by 28% over the same period.
At the same time, driving behaviour also shifted. Trips taken were down 10%, and the total distance travelled dropped by 9%. Even when removing the Easter weekend (3 to 6 April 2026) from the data, trips and distance travelled were still down by 8%.
Absolute bombshell. Piers Morgan exposes Israel's terrifying two tier justice system where only Palestinians face the death penalty. Prominent Ambassador Husam Zomlot confirms South African officials literally called Israeli apartheid vastly worse than their own.
Some things grow through attention. Others survive through silence.
Wisdom is knowing which one you need — and when.
Master that balance, and your rise becomes inevitable. 🙏🏿
That billionaire lady didn't last 2 years in the UK before realising life was much better in South Africa. She said a lot when she left with her wealth. She's wealthy. She could have chosen another country, but she chose to return here. It emphasises how fortunate they are here, despite their victim mentality.
BREAKING: QatarEnergy just declared Force Majeure.
Three words that mean: we cannot deliver, and legally, we do not have to.
This is no longer a supply disruption. This is a contract collapse.
Force Majeure is not a precaution. It is a formal legal declaration that an unforeseeable event beyond QatarEnergy’s control has made fulfillment impossible. Every affected buyer just had their contract voided. The gas they were counting on is gone, and they have no legal recourse to get it back.
82% of Qatar’s LNG goes to Asia.
China relies on Qatar for 30% of its LNG imports. India 42 to 52%. South Korea 14 to 19%. Taiwan 25%. Japan is already rationing to spot markets.
Asian benchmark prices jumped 39% the day production stopped.
Force Majeure just made that permanent until further notice.
Indian companies have already cut gas supplies to industry by 10 to 30%. That is not a market adjustment. That is factories running at reduced capacity today, across the world’s most populous continent, because Iran sent drones into Ras Laffan.
Here is the number the market still has not fully absorbed.
Two weeks to restart a liquefaction train after a full cold shutdown. Then two more weeks to reach full capacity. That is a minimum of four weeks at zero, assuming no further strikes, no security complications, no inspection delays.
The war is still running.
There is no security guarantee. There is no restart timeline. There is no floor.
Every LNG contract in Asia just became a spot market problem. Every spot market problem just became an inflation problem. Every inflation problem just became a central bank problem.
This started as a war in the Middle East.
It is now inside every factory, every power plant, and every gas bill across Asia.
Price that chain.

They told us: Work hard. Climb the ladder. Be competative. Chase success. So we did.
Then in April 2023, I retired at 56 and realised the race was optional. Retirement is not about stopping, it’s about choosing your pace, choosing your projects, choosing your people & choosing your time.
I don’t wake up at 3am anymore. I don’t sit in traffic. I don’t apologise for resting. I don’t compete. I set the pace.
I turn 60 in 246 days and this is the freest I’ve ever been.

Paul 'O'Sullivan left the Ad Hoc Committee without authorisation.
President Zuma was arrested for the same thing at the Zondo Commission.
I hope Parliament will take this as a very serious matter, as this is a blatant violation of Parliament proceedings. 🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️🙆🏾♂️
