Today’s Weather Forecast for South Africa
See the latest weather forecast and warnings across South Africa. From Heat Waves to Thunderstorms, stay up to speed with TODAY’S Regional Weather Forecast: 10 March 2022.
South Africa – the most unequal country in the world
According to a World Bank report, South Africa is deemed as the “most unequal country in the world”. And race seems to be the determining factor.
The report shows that 10% of the population own more than 80% of the country’s wealth. And the World Bank claims that this disparity is due to the legacy of apartheid and colonialism in South Africa and its effect on the country’s education system and labour market.
State of disaster to be extended again
According to BusinessLive, the South African government is considering extending the country’s state of disaster yet again. The state of disaster was imposed in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic as a way to control the spreading of the disease more.
This possible extension comes despite President Cyril Rampahosa’s last statement saying that the February extension would be the last.
Government sources, however, say that alternative legislation to continue to manage the pandemic have not yet been finalised. And these laws will still take some time to process through the proper channels.
Public transport – buses and taxis – expected to become more expensive
As fuel prices keep increasing it should be expected that transport fees will rise as well. Golden Arrow bus service has already informed the public that as of Monday the 14th of March, prices will go up by 8%. And the company has warned of the possible need for more increases in the future.
“The diesel price has increased by 81% in the last 18 months, and current projections predict that fuel prices will continue to soar. This has knock-on effects across our supply chain,” said Golden Arrow spokesperson Bronwen Dyke-Beyer.
To add to this, the public can expect a hike in taxi prices in the new future. After Transaction Capital published an early trading update warning of increased transport costs in the coming months.
