@Eskom_SA Power’s been off for a few hours now in Sandown (Jhb). Do you have news on when it’s expected to be restored?

I didn’t know he played golf, must’ve been playing really badly that day.

@dailymaverick LMAO. Screen grab of one of your YouTube videos. These numbers are inflated by a factor of at least 1,000.

@talkcentss Current month to date under-recovery will start unwinding if ceasefire holds. Petrol likely to decrease, diesel may have slight increase.
English
In South Africa, diesel is projected to rise by nearly R13 in May. 🤯
Say it isn’t so. 😭
English
@lingskevin hi. Is the Central Energy Fund incorrectly showing an over-recovery as an under-recovery

@ferialhaffajee @MyJRA Here’s a photo of a white car stuck in a hole that @CityofJoburgZA said was going to be repaired three weeks.
English
Comment: This is the car falling into the hole on Jan Smuts near Colony Centre. The dongas we dodge with their yellow barriers and red tape are not normal. Gogo Swim responses show we have come to normalise the abnormal in Joburg. The hole is still there @MyJRA

This is like a vegan opening a butchery.

🚨 FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here. Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump. This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. 🇺🇸 These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy! trumplibrary.org

Three weeks later and the hole wasn’t fixed. Now there’s a car in the unfixed ditch. Well done clowns.

📢 UPDATE: Pretoria Avenue & Katherine Street, Sandown Johannesburg Water has successfully repaired the pipe burst that occurred yesterday morning. Road reinstatement is scheduled for next week once the ground has dried. @JHBWater @CityofJoburgZA @CoJ_RegionE #JoburgRoads

@SimonPB @KieronDean5 Although the releases are dated the Friday before the increase, it’s been ages since one was published on the Friday.
English
So no press release from the Central Energy Fund yesterday to tell us about the new fuel pricing for Wednesday !?
They always release the last Friday !?
English
@talkcentss Path 2 is wrong. Oil price will go to at least $200 per barrel.
English
Good Morning, South Africa 🇿🇦
Remember, the SARB just told us we could be on one of these two paths:
🛢️Path 1: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗰𝗸
If the conflict ends within 2 months, oil averages just under $100/barrel, and the Rand stays 5% weaker against the dollar.
Then, inflation rises above 4%, the SARB hikes rates once in 2026, and we're back to the 3% inflation target by 2027.
🛢️Path 𝟮: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗻
The war drags on for over a year, oil stays above $100/barrel, and the rand is 10% weaker.
Then, inflation breaks above 5%, rates get hiked several times, and South Africa doesn't reach its new 3% inflation target until 2028.

@JHBWater Post this info on your main feed, don’t bury it in a reply.
English
@mel_reign Greetings, the estimation restoration time is 00h00, further updates will be communicated shortly. ^SE
English
@talkcentss Nope. There are refining costs and margins, transport costs, retail margins which include pump attendant wages and so on.
English
Hold on guys, are you telling me the Basic Fuel Price (BFP) is:
🔹Unleaded petrol = R8.55
🔹Diesel = R9.91
We then get to the final pump price by adding government levies, taxes, and margins.
Maybe that’s where the shocks should be absorbed instead rather than on consumers

@ImcocoMash @RatoLaLove Withdrawals are taxed at the marginal rate because if they weren’t, a tax payer could withdraw and immediately deposit back into the fund and claim the deduction. Getting pushed into a higher tax bracket has no effect as SA uses a progressive tax system.
English
Not necessarily. When the retirement fund pays a Two-Pot withdrawal, they must apply PAYE withholding immediately.
The withdrawal is treated as normal income for that tax year and is included in your taxable income when SARS does the final assessment.
The real risk is that the extra income could push you into a higher tax bracket.
English
This is the scam I’m talking about because if you already taxed the withdrawal at my current tax rate, why would you also add what is left to taxable income again?
Financial Bunny@ImcocoMash
Remember to check the impact of a Two-Pot savings withdrawal on your taxable income. Withdrawals from the savings pot are taxed as normal income, which could push you into a higher tax bracket.

@Eskom_SA no power in Sandown Jhb four four hours. Please provide update, trying to plan my day.
