THE petrol price is falling so quickly thata further reduction of R1 may be on thecards, according to economist MikeSchüssler of economists.co.za.
“About two weeks ago I thought it woulddrop another 25 cents, then about a weekago it looked like it would be a 50 cents’drop. Now it is looking like a rand declinecould become true,” he said.“That would be the second R1 decline
and would bring the whole reduction toover R4 or a saving of R580 per month forthe average motorist.”Thiswill again boost consumer spending
on other products and services, in his
view.“Notice how empty shops were just after
Christmas as products sold more than ex-pected. This would be close to 6% of formalsector disposable salaries - that is take-home pay after taxes and pensions, usingBankservAfrica data,” he explained.“Consumers will take this as another
good sign and if it were not for the poweroutages, I would estimate that this wouldhave boosted the gross domestic product(GDP) by 2% to 2.5% by now. That is if itlasted for the whole year, of course.”The BankServAfrica Disposable Salary
Index shows that typical disposable sala-ries are still just under R10 000 per monthand the average just over R12 000.In his view what is now needed is to “get
Eskom going and get all politics out” of thepower utility.Saijil Singh, lead analyst of Coface, the
international credit insurer, says theirprojections indicate another drop in petrolprice is definitely on the cards, and a 50creduction is a strong likelihood.“There are various factors to consider
here and the prevalent one is definitely thedrop in oil price. We must be careful, how-ever, to not ignore the reality of a veryweak rand and gains in a dollar-based com-modity are not directly translated locally,”he warned.“Simply put, while the oil price has come
down by more than 50% in the last sixmonths, it does not mean that consumerswill see a 50% fuel price reduction locally.”
Petrol price could drop by R1Another factor to note, he pointed out,
is that Coface believes the current Brentprice to be an overreaction due to weaken-ing demand from the US.“We are further predicting the price to
normalise around the $75 mark in the lat-ter part of 2015,” he said.“Overall, consumers should be getting
some relief in the form on a fuel price cutlocally, but consumer confidence is stillvery low and we should not expect this toimmediately translate into an increase inretail spend.”In his viewmost consumers will be wary
of a petrol price hike later in the year andcautious activity could definitely be ex-pected.– Source: news24

BUSINESS owners, many of whom are for-eign nationals, are living in fear following aspate of armed robberies last week Tuesdayand Wednesday.
One foreign national business owner, whodid not want to have his name published fear-ing for his safety, said the incidents of lastweek have left them all with the question of“who will be the next victim?”
“These armed robbers are aware that wesleep in our business premises that we rentfrom the locals. They attack when they knowthat most of the people are sleeping and no onewill identify them. We wish that communitymembers from the areas where we rent busi-nesses will assist us in identifying these cul-prits and isolate them from society,” he said.According to him the community need them
the same way they need their support in buy-ing from their shops. They are bringing grocer-ies closer to the people as they don’t need to
travel to town saving on transport money.Provincial Police spokesperson Lieuten-
antKhayaTonjeni confirmed the armed rob-beries that took place in three areas of Bi-zana and an assault at the Greenville area.

TEACHERS have heeded the call by the De-partment of Education and started teachingon the first day of the new academic year.
To ensure that this was in fact the case andthat schools were ready for the year, the East-ern Cape Department of Education PortfolioCommittee chairperson Kholiswa Fihlani,committee members and leaders from politi-cal parties visited several schools in the subdistricts of Lusikisiki and Flagstaff.
According to the Acting District Manager,Thozamile Binase, some of the schools theyvisited did experience a few hiccups whichwere resolved.
The schools that they visited were Nomza-mo Junior Secondary School (JSS), Thembu-kazi JSS, Meyisi Senior Secondary School(SSS), Mgezwa SSS, Hillbrow SSS, Jiba SSSand Botha Sigcau SSS.
Binase said some of the challenges thatthey came across at these school were short-age of desks, school bags not being deliveredin time and problems with the infrastruc-
ture.“At Jiba SSS there was a problem whereby
parents had chased away the principal but thatwas resolved and the principal is back at theschool.
“Nomzamo JSS and Hillbrow SSS had a ma-jor problem of infrastructure which causedovercrowding in the classrooms but fortunate-ly for those two schools they have been ear-marked for construction,” said Binase.
He said at most of the schools that they visit-ed, teachers and learners were ready to startworking as learners were in classrooms on thefirst and second day and in some cases therewere only a few learners that still needed tobe admitted.

“I am now a Gospel artist and that has always beenmy dream,” he said.He said he loves working in radio but not more than
singing Gospel and worshipping God through music.“I love radio and I have big plans of growing in it, but
my music career comes first. I live it and it is my minis-try.”Mrwetyana is currently busy with the in-store distri-
bution of his two albums (“Undithandile” and “Ebene-zer”) and said that sales of both albums are doing well.He is also going back to school this year to finish his
Matric at Holy Cross High School. By doing this he isalso hoping to motivate other young people to put educa-tion first. “Education is very important. As an artist youneed to sign contracts and before you can do that youmust be able to to read and understand what is written.”

BUTTERWORTH United FC punished theirneighbours Green Lovers FC with five goalsto zero during their SAB Regional Leaguegame.
The match was played in hot weather con-ditions atMsobomvu Sports ground last Sat-urday.
After their humiliating defeat to the visi-tors, GreenLovers coachGoldenNguqu saidthey played very well but their goalkeepermade somemistakes which resulted in themhaving to pay the price.
“I really don’t know what went wrongwith our goalkeeper today because he usedto make great saves and he is a good goal-keeper.
“But todayhe conceded three unnecessarygoals. We did not deserve to lose the gamebecause we created a lot of chances but un-fortunately we could not manage to convert
those opportunities into goals,” said Nguqu.He added that they started the game with
young players in order to test them and give-them a chance.
He urged community members to supportsoccer and to come in numbers to thegrounds to watch the games as this wouldencourage the young players a lot.
Butterworth united FC bossMzwamadodaSinyanya said his team maintained theirgame planwhichwas 4-3-3. They used highlyskilled strikers upfront with the aim of scor-ing goals and they were equal to the task.
“Before the match we told our midfieldersto pass the ball quickly to the strikers so thatwe could outrun Green Lovers’ defendersand punish them, and they did exactly whatwe told them.”
He said he was happy with a win but wasdisappointed with the turnout at the stadi-um. He said he would like to see people sup-porting the games and coming in numbersto the stadium.
