Johannesburg - Many people in some parts of Gauteng were just waking on Friday morning when the earth moved under them – literally.
Mahlatse Mononela, the spokesperson for the Council for GeoScience, said it was not a tremor but an earthquake.
“We can confirm that there was an earthquake at around 6.32am in Boksburg in the east of Johannesburg.
“Preliminary data indicates that the earthquake measured 3.5 magnitude on the Richter scale. At this point, it does seems like the earthquake occurred in a mining area. However, more details of the exact location are being gathered,” she said.

Bank clients in South Africa will not be charged for making withdrawals from ATMs that do not belong to their own bank from 1 August.
The fee waiver will remain effective for two months, ending 30 September.
This is according to an agreement between the Banking Association of South Africa (BASA) and local banks.
BASA and local banks have decided to waive these fees, known as Saswitch fees, in light of the damage to ATMs during July’s rampant looting which saw widespread theft and vandalism in parts of KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.

Push for tax changes and a fuel price cap in South Africa
Current estimates show that around 40% of the petrol price goes to some form of government taxation. Commenting on the fuel price increases for April, the Automobile Association said that, given the weaker rand and rising oil prices, fuel taxes are where the government has the most ‘wriggle room’ to intervene on price hikes.

R18.20 - 40% = R10.92 - [7.28 less] we all can do with that...

‘Caltex’ petrol stations will soon start to disappear, replaced by 850 ‘Astron’ outlets
https://www.businessinsider.co.za/caltex-name-to-be-replaced-by-astron-energy-petrol-stations-2021-8
4 August 2021
"The name "Caltex" will soon start to disappear from petrol stations – some 850 scattered across South Africa and Botswana – in favour of the name Astron, their owner announced on Wednesday.
Some 180 commercial and industrial sites, including terminals and the Cape Town refinery, will also fall under the new name.
Caltex, with its star emblem, has a history of more than 85 years in South Africa, and its white rabbit was one of South Africa's most recognisable corporate mascots.
Now, in what it believes will be one of the largest logistical enterprises in the history of South Africa's fuel industry, that brand will be dismantled, said Astron in a statement.
Then it wants to become the biggest fuel brand in South Africa, a position currently held by Engen – with Caltex trailing well behind when it comes to customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Astron, backed by commodities trading giant Glencore, snapped up the the Caltex network in South Africa in 2018, using the pre-emptive rights held by a black empowerment partner, in a deal worth nearly $1 billion. That was after China's Sinopec had already all but declared itself the new owner of the Caltex brand in SA, complete with regulatory approval, which seemed set to see "Caltex" replaced with "Sinopec" at retail locations.
Astron says it has done extensive research into what customers want and need, and will bring innovation to fuel retail.
The rebranding is due to happen "over the next few years".
As part of the acquisition of the network, Astron secured the right to use the Caltex name until at least 2024.
Caltex was named for the two companies that merged to create it, Standard Oil of California and the Texas Oil Company. Its star was drawn from the Texas symbol."

Blooming* ridiculous. The State wants to control everything because the whole word is falling apart around them but are too blind to see that the reason everything is falling apart, is them!
* In want of a much, much stronger word
It'll be the final touch to the complete collapse of Healthcare services in the country...
Say goodbye to your GP. He will be either placed on township duty by the government, or immgration duty by himself.

New plan to bring South Africa to its knees on Monday 23 August
Police are preparing for attacks on law enforcement entities and important infrastructure, which aim to make South Africa ungovernable.
This is according to a report from Netwerk24, citing a document from intelligence officials detailing measures to address a new plan supposedly contrived by the same instigators behind the days of unrest in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng last month.

Let them come. I'm not afraid to die. If I have to, then so be it, but I'm taking many of them with me. I work night shift on the 23rd. We've been briefed and alert levels upped at the stations. My station is one of those alone in the middle of nowhere next to a provincial road. I'm used to working night shift completely alone at the station, with two members in a patrol vehicle outside on the roads.
Thank you for your service.
