South Africans brace for another fuel price blow & Are fuel rewards programmes worth it?

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of rising fuel prices on South African households and evaluates the effectiveness of fuel rewards programmes.

Stephen Grootes speaks to Kevin Lings, Chief Economist at STANLIB, about the sharp fuel price increases taking effect this week and what they could mean for inflation, food prices and already strained household budgets. In other interviews, Amanda Cromhout, founder and CEO of Truth, a specialist loyalty, CRM and customer strategy consultancy talks about whether fuel loyalty points systems are helping consumers stretch their budgets, offering small but meaningful savings on every litre and turning everyday fuel spend into rewards that ease the pressure of rising prices.  The Money Show is a podcast hosted by well-known journalist and radio presenter, Stephen Grootes.
