The artcile is misleading - 27 cents a liter does not constitute gloom

SA's ANC-driven education policy is starting to really bite at last. How many of the guys contributing here can spell correctly??????? It's shocking! Some of them don't seem to have passed Std II.....yet.

Somehow this whole way of calculating the prices are just to complicated and it seems that was done on purpose to foll people. make it complicated and that way it becomes easier to manipulate the price. Common sense tells me that low fuel prices leads to more business and and lower cost of living, something which a country with way to mnay mouths to feed, should try to get at all costs. The ANC however does not want this, they want poor people that can be manipulated into voting ANC.

@Achmat - did you not see that it's attributed to I-Net Bridge at the bottom of the article? If they're paying for the feed from I-NB, why rewrite the article when that time could be better spent doing something productive?
