Illegal Property Conversions in Tshwane: A Risk to Residents and Landlords.

June 25, 2025

In Pretoria’s bustling suburbs of Sunnyside, Arcadia, and surrounding areas, property owners are facing a stern warning from the City of Tshwane: comply with municipal building regulations or face legal action. The issue stems from landlords illegally converting two-bedroom apartments into overcrowded five-bedroom units to maximize rental income, a practice that endangers vulnerable residents like students and young workers. Aaron Maluleka, the City’s MMC for Housing and Human Settlements, has called for immediate action to protect tenants and enforce compliance. Sunnyside and Arcadia, popular for their proximity to universities and workplaces, are hotspots for affordable rentals. To capitalize on demand, some landlords have subdivided two-bedroom units into five-bedroom spaces by adding makeshift walls, often without municipal approval.

Why Does Petrol Cost More in South Africa Than in Its Neighbors?

June 25, 2025

Why Does Petrol Cost More in South Africa Than in Its Neighbors? South Africa is a major fuel supplier to its neighbors—Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini, and others—yet its petrol prices are often higher than in these countries. In October 2024, South Africans paid around R21.05 per litre for 95 octane petrol, while Botswana enjoyed prices as low as R19.00, and Namibia even lower at R18.50. This disparity raises a question: why is petrol cheaper in countries that rely on South Africa for their fuel? The answer lies in taxes, economic policies, and logistics. South Africa’s petrol price is determined by a mix of global and local factors. The Basic Fuel Price (BFP), tied to international crude oil costs (around $78.54/barrel in October 2024), accounts for 35–53% of the retail price. However, taxes and levies, including the General Fuel Levy (R3.98/litre) and Road Accident Fund levy (R2.18/litre), add up to roughly R6.23/litre—about 30% of the total cost. Additional expenses like tran...
