Every first Wednesday of the month we hold our breath… ⛽️
And just like that, the petrol price in South Africa has gone UP again. With the ongoing oil crisis, it’s no surprise—but it still hits hard.
The only small relief? Government stepped in and reduced the petrol levy a bit… but let’s be honest, we still feel it at the pump.
On Friday, I topped up and paid R19.47 per liter
As of today (1 April 2026), the new petrol prices in South Africa are roughly sitting at:
Coastal (like Cape Town):
👉 Petrol 95: about R23.90 – R24.00 per litre
Inland (like Gauteng):
👉 Petrol 95: about R24.50 – R25.00 per litre
Wish this was an April Fools joke… but unfortunately, it’s not! 🤣

Before plans and wishes ... let's take a look how it really works in #Tunisia (shortly , no promises lol ) .
not sure if you are ready for this , but ...
- Still under the control of france, little bit UK , little bit usa and of course the fking international bank and jewish behind it.
means no way to go in other way they decide or let go , till all debts are paid and offering them benefits for them and their allies (painful reality for most of countries).
- Means, there's individuals inside every administration, #government corners, under tables, behind the curtains, and also companies controlling legislative things for their interest ( import/export .. production .. trading .. procurement.....) + their minions (samll agents everywhere).
- you know monopoly #game ? that's tunisia... 1 man behind cows , milk products, same for chicken, eggs, animal food ... one other for electronics , one other for all agriculture things .... tunisia.
- the citizen /consumer ideology .. in simple exmple : add 10 cent to milk and he buy 6 packs instead of usuaul 1 pack. add poison to milk and tell him it's bio with non-sens marketing , he will die drinking it and look to buy more.
before , life was cool easy and comfortable under the rule of law (with some corruption) and well calculated and managed cost of living.
so now and since couple months ... they paid (as they said) big parts of debts towards the int bank , EU and other countries .... they started serious steps for "correction" , few rules and decrees (to avoid legislative manipulation from lobbies) ... many viruses were fired , many rich guys flee outside , many went to prison including high ranked officers cops and ex- politicians.
that's what government should do for national #security (including food, medical care, education... ) since years ago. previous governments were so corrupted to an 🤮 point.
if those steps works well , it will improve life for everyone, and stabilize the manipulated procurement system.
will have positive results and will be seen in every home.
we are used to escalation in everything, a bullish life 😅.
-we buy at the end of the month or whenever salaries are paid what we call "O'ola " عولة . basically, in my big family, and most of families too... we buy essential things first whatever the price is. just what to use or eat to stay alive and healthy ( another chapter in tunisia). quantity enough for 10 to 20 days. the last 10 days , well ... survival game. everyone is broke and just live.
-some people goes for good quality , others go for cheap things to provide money for other essential things like for kids or repartions at home...
- personnaly , last time i ate pizza , as it's a luxury food , last winter 2024. i don't eat at restaurants or go to expensive cafés.. i dont even go to malls or big supermarkets or clothing store (mostly clean selection of used clothes is enough).
- i don't buy shining big and beautiful looking vegetables .. full of pesticide. i try to detect natural things (as i have a little knowledge about agriculture) .
- rare to buy fruits , but i apply same rule. and never buy expensive things, ever. few hours ago, my father wanted some mandarins and insisted ... i bought it, it taste like A4 battery when you bite it (picture).
- cooking somple things or fancy things, small portions to manage the budget , many people dont do that, rely on bank loans for entire life. (another chapter).
-for medical things, no doctors for me except in very hard situations ...self-medication for me and my mother and anyone i know, i give them medecines names and they get better .. exp not for serious cases, when i go to pharmacy, i name the medecine and i ask for the cheapest one ( i know how labs are selling trading marks not pills) ...
i feel guilty 🙄... long article ... i stop here.
and i wish people here boycott something , anything ( i boycott everything hahaha) .
they don't care , they don't want to know and they pay , we all pay.
