SA motorists will pay 22c/l more for petrol on Wednesday
Motorists will pay 22c more for a litre petrol from Wednesday, but about 15c less for diesel, the Central Energy Fund said on Tuesday.The rand had strengthened about 0.85% against the dollar during the period under review, although the international price of petrol increased, and diesel and paraffin decreased.Illuminating paraffin will cost 24c less.Petrol also saw a 11.6c per litre increase due to annual margin adjustments on petrol, while there is a net increase of 6.05c a litre for diesel and illuminating paraffin.The annual adjustments address margins for the wholesale, storage, handling and distribution sides of the business, which faced cost increases through the course of 2019.gernetzkyk@businesslive.co.zahttps://www.businesslive.co.za/bd/economy/2019-12-03-sa-motorists-will-pay-22cl-more-for-petrol-on-wednesday/

Helping the needy this Xmas.
A friend taught me this lesson not so long ago: “On your own you can run fast, but together as a group – you can go further”! With this in mind, let us as Georgiete stand together and help people who need our help this festive season.We started LoveGeorge a year ago as a Non profit Company to be able to do just that, to be a vehicle through which we as the George Community can help the needy in George. When we stand together as Georgiete we will be able to help so many more people that cannot afford a simple Xmas dinner.I already have 2 organisations who approached me for assistance in collecting food and or money so that they can give Xmas parties the needy in their communities.
Please contact me if you can assist by donating raw food like meat and or veggies. You can also deposit any amount into our NPC account. A R100 deposit can buy 2 proper meals! Please make sure that you mark it XMAS2019 so that we can make sure it will go the correct people. Any surplus money that is marked XMAS2019 will be used to bless someone this season from Georgiete!Love George – Love our city – Love our people.
You are welcome to contact me if you have any queries.Herman Pienaar

Notification of essential maintenance work planned for Swartberg Pass
Garden Route District Municipality (GRDM) will perform essential maintenance work on the Swartberg Pass (R328 / P0369) for seven (7) weekdays from 27 November till 5 December 2019. Maintenance work will be performed between 09h00 and 15h30. A stop-and-go with delays of up to one hour can be expected. For this reason, road users are requested to plan their trips with the above in mind.Road users can make use of an alternative route between Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert via Meiringspoort (N12).Approach roadworks cautiously
Equally important is the safety of road users. Flag operators in our road maintenance teams are tasked with helping traffic flow smoothly and safely around the affected area. At times where there are no flag operators, road users must obey the traffic signs.A few guidelines
1. Approach the construction zone with caution.
2. If you are approaching a stop/go control, obey the flag operator. He or she will use hand signals and flags to show if when is your turn to stop and when you can go.
3. When vehicles are in front of you as you approach the construction site, slow down, stop if necessary, and remain cautious and observant.
4. Obey temporary speed limits at roadwork sites.
5. The lane width may be narrower than usual and therefore more hazardous. Road shoulders may be particularly narrow. Be extra careful. Stay in your lane. Do not straddle the lines.
6. When moving through a construction site, keep your attention on driving and on other traffic. Don’t allow yourself to be distracted by construction activities. This is dangerous and can slow down traffic unnecessarily.
7. Watch out for construction equipment, workers, obstacles and debris.Report potholes and road-related issues
Road users can report potholes and road-related issues to info@gardenroute.gov.za. Please include your name, contact number and location of the pothole in your e-mail. The exact location is very important because this will save us time in finding the pothole and to do the repairs as soon as we can.
