Education department faces legal action over matric results; driving demerit points could still happen in South Africa; showdown looms between businesses and local government over electricity prices; and Sisulu triples down on her tirade about South Africa’s constitution.

Despite the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences Act being declared unconstitutional and invalid, civil action organisations say the driving demerit system could still be implmented. However, to achieve this, the services that such a system relies on need to be fully operational and working effeciently – such as the National Traffic Information System and the post office.

Business chambers in Nelson Mandela Bay and Pietermaritzburg have filed papers against the Nersa methodology that Eskom uses to determine its price increases. A showdown looms as businesses plan to fight municipalities who have carte blanche over how much to charge over and above Eskom’s required increase – while the South African Local Government Association looks to remove choice from the equation, seeking an order giving municipalities exclusive right to distribute electricity.

Fact. European cars are priced at R21 to the Euro, what it was last year. The Euro is now R17 something. Think prices came down? And the moment it weakens again, prices will go up. Even though they are at R21/Euro already. We are getting screwed.
