“Maak vasjou sitplekgordel en wees gereed vir ‘n rowwe rit,” sê Phillip vanZijl, bestuurslid vandie Tygerberg-Sakekamer. Verwysende na ramings dat die petrolprys in April mettot soveel as R4 perliterendiesel mettot R7 kan styg, sê hy die sakesektor en die publiek moet hulle voorbereivir moontlike onstuimige ekonomiese tye.
"As sakekamermaan onsondernemings en individue om nouversigtigtewees en niegroot risiko’s te neem nie. Huidige voorspellings duidaarop datons ‘n ernstigeekonomieseskoktewagte kan wees weens die toenemende konflik in die Midde-Ooste,"het hy verlede week aan TygerBurger gesê.
Metbrandstofprysstygings as ‘n sneller vir breër prysverhogings regdeur die ekonomie, kanverbruikers ook ‘n hoër lewenskoste vanApril af verwag.
"Die verwagte stygingindie brandstofprys in April kan beteken dat daar tot soveel as R28 per liter virdiesel betaal gaan word, en word verwag dat produksie-enafleweringskoste van verbruikersgoedere die hoogte gaan inskiet.
“Daar is ook kommeroor moontlike brandstoftekorteindien die konflik voortduur, aangesien Suid-Afrikaswaar steun op ingevoerde brandstof en ons na ramingslegs ongeveer twee weke se brandstofreserwes het,"sêVan Zijl
‘n Volgehoue olieprys bo $100 per vat kan verbruikersinflasie teen die tweede kwartaal van 2026 tot bo 4% op ‘n jaargrondslag druk, volgens Van Zijl "Die pryse van kruideniersware en algemene kleinhandelgoedere sal na verwagting styg namatehoër logistieke en vervoerkoste deur die verskaffingsketting
filter. Produsente en verskafferssal eenvoudig geen keusehêasomdie koste na die eindverbruiker af te wentel nie. "Op die landboufront sal die stygende diesel- en kunsmiskoste waarskynlik voedselproduksiepryse opjaag, wat verdere druk op huishoudelike begrotings sal plaas."
Van Zijl meen die vorige verwagtinge vir ‘n verdere verlaging in die rentekoers vanjaar is nou onwaarskynlik en ekonome verwag eerder ‘n styging in rentekoerse. "Die Reserwebank mag dalk ‘n tydelike skok ignoreer, maar volgehoue inflasiedruk van voedsel en brandstof sal hulle waarskynlik noodsaak om opwaartse aanpassings te maak.
“Ons kan net hoop dat die situasieindie Midde-Ooste vinnig sal normaliseer sodat die impak nie langdurig sal wees nie. Om alles te kroon, voorspel Suid-Afrikase buitelandse beleid reeds niks positiefs vir ons ekonomie nie," sê Van Zijl Sunel Beeselaar, voorsitter van die Tygerberg-Sakekamer, voorspel dat afleweringsmaatskappye, vragoperateurs en koeriers onmiddellike kostestygings sal ervaar, juis omdat brandstof ‘n groot insetkoste is.
"Veral vervoerintensiewe ondernemings soos logistiek, handel en boerdery, gaan swaar getref word, wat beteken alledaagse noodsaaklikhede gaan duurder raak Kleiner logistiekfirmas mag sukkel om dit te absorbeer, wat tot hoër afleweringsfooie kan lei," sê sy.
AfriForum urgesfinanceministerto cutfuel levy amid MiddleEastcrisis
DESIRÉERORKE
Civil rights organisation AfriForum has calledonfinance minister Enoch Godongwanatoimplement afuel levy decreaseratherthanproceed with planned increases, citing concerns over rising oil prices due to conflictinthe Middle East.
In alettertothe minister, Ernst van Zyl, AfriForum's headofpublic relations, warned that therecent Middle East conflicthas caused oil prices to surge more than 40%, with experts estimating prices couldrise above $150 per barrel.
The organisation,whichrepresents more than 300 000 donatingmembers, argued that the dramatic fuel price increases would create aripple effect throughout the global anddomestic economy as transport

At the meeting, ward councillors expressed seriousconcerns about the report'svalidityand the implications for road safety.
Brackenfell Wardcouncillor Johann Loods challengedthe absence of speeding violationsinWard 8, despite the presence of monitoringcameras, whilst also queryingwhy no roadblock operations had seemingly been undertaken throughout the three-month period.
REPORTINCONSISTENCIES
Kraaifontein Ward councillor Rhynhardt Bresler echoed these concerns, drawing attention to thereport's glaring inconsistencies."How can therebe speedingoffences in only one ward and nowhere else?"heasked.
Bresleremphasised the urgent public safety implications, saying, "People's lives are in dangerwith oneofour biggest issuesbeingdrunkdriving, that has to be addressedurgently. We desperately need traffic enforcementatnight time to curb drunk driving when it takes place."
He stressed the urgent need for traffic enforcementsayingthat moving
costs rise, leading to increases in the prices of basic goods. AfriForum urged the minister not to follow through with the fuel levy increase announced during his budget speech.
Theorganisation cited aprecedent from March 2022, when Godongwana, in cooperation with the minister of mineral resources and energy, announced a temporary reduction in the general fuel levy of R1,50 per litre to provide relief following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. That relief measure was funded through the liquidation of aportion of the country's strategic crude oil reserves, which AfriForum believes would be an appropriate approach to address the current crisis.
violations had become commonplace in certain areas, where motorists routinely disregarded traffic regulations such as stop sign requirements. Councillorsalso raised questions about staffing levels in the area, expressing dissatisfaction with the report and demanding more accurate information for future meetings.
Arepresentative from the traffic department acknowledged the concerns, explaining that traffic operations such as roadblockshad been curtailed due to budgetary constraints preventing overtime payments for officers. Roadblock operations, he noted, might need to be scheduled within standard working hours as an alternative solution. He also cited alack of cooperation between the traffic department and ward metro police officers, who do not share aradio channel and are consequently unable to communicate effectively, afactor that could contribute to the enforcement statistics in the region. Councillors unanimously agreed that enforcement challenges must be addressed and brought to the table for further deliberation at the next Subcouncil meeting scheduled for 18 March.

Straatname in Ferndale is weer eens verlede week verkeerd geverf, en inwoners is beduiweld oor dié vermorsing van belastinggeld. Met die oorverf van die verbleikte straatname in Februarie hetkontrakteurs van die Stad Kaapstad ses straatname verkeerd op die buurt se randstene geverf. Loubserstraat het Lobserstaatgeword, en Fennelsingel, Fennelstraat. Ook Kinkelstraat het verander naKinkelweg, en dieeen kant van Eben Olivier isnou John Gainsfordstreet.Ook Ferndalestraat het verander na Ferndale-rylaan en die bekende Frans Conradie-rylaannaFrans Conradiestraat.
“Ons vra al vir jare dat die verbleikte straatname oorgeverf word en was verheug toe die kontrakteurs opdaag. Maar groot was ons verbasing toeons die volgende oggend wakkerword en ons nuwe straatname sien,” het‘ninwoner, Alet van Rooyen, verledemaand aan TygerBurger gesê "Maarnog meer frustrerend, sêsy, is dat belastingbetalers nou dubbel moetopdok om dit reg te maak."
By navraag het Rob Quintas, die Stad se burgemeesterskomiteelidvir stedelike vervoer, gesê dieStad was bewus vandie foutewat met die straatnamegemaakis, en hetdie kontrakteursversoek omdie

“Ons het ‘n paar uitdagings met‘n nuwe kontrakteur ondervind en vra om verskoningvir enige ongerief. Ons padinfrastruktuurbestuurspansal die werk noukeurig monitor en gehaltebeheer verbeter,” hethyverlede maandaan
TygerBurger gesê
Maardie verassing was groot toe inwoners verlede weekoplet dat die verkeerde John Gainsfordstraat toegeverf en toewéér oorgeverf is as John Gainsford, en dat Eben Olivierstraat nou in die niet verdwyn het.
Inwoners wonder nou wat van Quintas se gehaltebeheer geword het.
"Hierdie is nou‘nillustrasie van hoe die belastingbetaler van die Stad se geld spandeer word. Bogenoemde straat is Eben Olivier, maar ná die eerste oorverf vanstraatname is dit JohnGainsford. Hoewel die fout aangemeld is, is dit wéér oorgeverfasJohnGainsford. Waarheen het Eben Olivierstraat verskuif?" vra ‘n ander ontstelde inwoner oor die straatnaam, wat nouvir ‘n derde keer geverfsal moetword.
Dié ontstelde inwoner meen belastingbetalers in Kaapstadbetaal duur vir dienste.
"Is daar `n klousule ingevoeg in die diensverskaffers se ooreenkomste datdie herstel vansulke elementêre foutevir hul eie rekening sal wees?" vra sy.
"En moenie probeer om die argument te opper datdie Stad Kaapstad of WesKaap waardie DA regeer, in ‘n baie beter toestand iswat instandhouding betref nie." Quintassekantoor hetteen druktydnog nie gereageer op ‘n verdere medianavraag nadie Stadoor die aangeleentheid nie.

Theyouth canleadus outofthe darkness
On the precipice of the Vietnam war, famous folk singer Bob Dylan once sung: "Well you better start swimming oryou'll sink like astone cause the timesthey area-changin".
These timeless words seem so prescient and ominous in the uncertain times we find ourselves today, in thewakeofthe bloody war in the Middle-East, inflation, the Ukraine invasion, Trump's presidency and Artificial Intelligence (AI) modifying and "streamlining" the way we work. Sadly, the skills more people are developing lately are related to howto "perfect" their AI prompts to visualise aconcept instead of struggling to understand photography or learn an instrument and use critical thinking. Idread the long-term effects on our brain processing power after decadesof relying on producing prompts instead of pondering and solving some of the problems ourselves.
It is often said that each generation assumes they are living in the "end times", while the one preceding it feels that today's youth are "doomed, spoilt, entitled" and frying theirbrains with TikTokand Instagram.
Whether it's thebaby boomers emerging from World War 2, millennials witnessing changes in music, movies and computers reshaping our daily lives.
Today we find Gen-Z caught in the throes of social media, political turmoil between the left and theright andsurviving a pandemic that shackled the world to slow down.
However, Ifind Gen-Z's social consciousness and urge to call out injustice when it comes to racismand discrimination so importantand so inspiring when it comes to uniting in the nameoflove, peace and understanding, especially with thefar-rightsoeagerto mock and belittle their voices and stake in the world.
Sadly, some of us lack the curiosity and empathy to imagine what its like growing up in adifferent background, culture, way of eatingand celebrating life. Each of us is swimming in adark, mysterious current that can drown us or inspireusto swim. As ordinarycitizens we have to navigate, survive the challenges that meet us in each revolving era, God forbid we find ourselves in World War 3.
We owe it to our children and the next generation who are hungrytohelp the world and live alife that is unique to them, to support them and guide them on their mission to make their mark in society.
Our parentsalways speak fondlyofthe golden oldies they listened to growing up like the Bee Gee's, Bob Marley and Whitney Houston and simpler times, so tooare the next wave of youth eager to see how today'sartists will provide the soundtrack to their lives.
There's areason why the 80s sounded different to the 90s, anew dawnhad descendedwith new exciting ideas.
Thus Iremain optimistic that the youth can lead us out of the darkness thatbreeds division, hatred, warfare and deliverus to amoment in time where we canspeak to each other around atable insteadof shouting and justifying our opinions
Amidst the social upheaval of the 60s another inspiring tune by TheBeatles echoed on the airwaves and still soothes to this daywith the simple message which said, "all you need is love".
This simple mantracan healthe world for those who wish to listen and thosewho choose to care.
