Pantomime raises funds for Salvazione School in Johannesburg
Story 1
A one-man pantomime at Melville’s 27 Boxes brought laughter and support for Salvazione School, which serves children from Slovo Park on the borders of Mayfair West and Brixton.
Actor Katlego Nche’s show, Silent Wonder, uses minimal words, allowing children of all ages and abilities to engage through play. The performance was especially effective for children with special needs or those who have experienced trauma.
Salvazione School’s fundraising manager, Eléonore Godfroy, said the event showed the power of community and collaboration.
Funds raised will go towards bursaries and keeping the school open, ensuring children continue to have access to education and creative opportunities.

Fuel prices drop as rand strengthens and crude oil falls
Story 2
Motorists will get some relief at the pumps from midnight as the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy announces a decrease in fuel prices.
Both 93 and 95 octane petrol will drop by around 51 cents a litre. Diesel users will also benefit with a decrease of about 20 cents a litre depending on the grade.
The reduction is driven by lower international oil prices and a stronger rand during the review period.
