UAE fuel delivery service Cafu confirms delivery charge resumption – Here's how much it will cost you
In a newsletter shared with Cafu customers, the company said this "small change" is intended to enhance its service and keep up with 'growing demand for more flexible and reliable options.'
Previously, Cafu had offered free fuel delivery. The new fee structure will vary depending on the service selected by the customer. Priority delivery, which brings home the delivery in 20 minutes will now cost customers Dh 20. Standard delivery (up to 2 hours) will cost Dh16, and overnight delivery (12 am to 6 am) will be priced at Dh 12.
In an announcement regarding the change, Cafu highlighted its 'commitment to continuous innovation and premium service, indicating that the adjustment in pricing reflects this commitment and will support continued investment in its service offerings.'
Cafu began offering free fuel delivery in July 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic. Before that, they had delivery charges, which included options for a per-order fee or a monthly subscription when they first launched in 2018. Over the years, Cafu has expanded its offerings beyond just fuel delivery. The company provide mobile car washing, oil changes, battery replacement, tire services, and EV charging, which are a major part of the company's revenue stream.

Musk Steps Back from Political Party Plans to Prioritise Business Focus
Elon Musk has reportedly suspended his ambitious plans to create a new political party, instead shifting his attention back to his array of business ventures. According to the Wall Street Journal, sources close to the billionaire entrepreneur have confirmed that Musk now intends to focus on his companies, including Tesla, SpaceX, and Twitter, which recently rebranded as X. The idea of a new political movement was first floated by Musk earlier this year, capturing the attention of both supporters and critics alike. Musk, known for his outspoken views on social and political issues, had indicated that he might form a third-party alternative to the established two-party system in the United States. His move was seen as an extension of his controversial influence on public discourse and his desire to shape political discussions. However, behind the scenes, Musk's commitment to launching the new party has reportedly faltered. The Wall Street Journal's sources suggest that Musk became increasingly aware of the complexities involved in starting a national political party, especially one that would compete against the entrenched Republican and Democratic machines. The logistics, financial costs, and potential backlash from political insiders appear to have weighed heavily on Musk, pushing him to reconsider the effort. ADVERTISEMENT The decision to put the brakes on the political project marks a significant pivot for Musk, whose public persona and influence have often bridged the worlds of technology, business, and politics. While he has remained an influential figure in global affairs, his more recent focus has been on the ongoing developments within his various companies. At Tesla, for instance, he is overseeing the expansion of electric vehicles into new markets, and at SpaceX, he continues to lead the charge in space exploration with ambitious goals such as Mars colonisation. Musk's interests in politics are not entirely new. Over the years, he has publicly supported various policies, including renewable energy and free speech. His vocal stance on several contentious issues, such as COVID-19 restrictions and electric vehicle adoption, has often put him at odds with certain political factions. Musk has also found himself embroiled in heated debates over social media regulation, especially following his acquisition of X. His leadership of the platform has sparked fierce discussions over free speech, censorship, and the role of social media in shaping political discourse. Yet, despite his prominent role in political conversations, Musk appears to have recognised that the formation of a political party would divert valuable time and resources from his core business operations. The billion-dollar ventures that he oversees require his undivided attention, and the global impact of his companies continues to demand his focus on innovation and market leadership. In addition to his ventures in the tech industry, Musk has also made headlines for his outspoken opinions on global economic matters, including the future of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. These areas of interest have gained significant traction in both Silicon Valley and the broader global economic community, further solidifying Musk's place as one of the most influential figures of his generation. However, the reality of balancing such high-profile business interests with the demands of a political movement seems to have caused Musk to reconsider the practicality of entering the political arena. Critics of Musk's political ambitions have long questioned whether his approach to governance and policy would be effective in a partisan environment. While his supporters argue that his unconventional thinking could bring fresh ideas to the political table, others have expressed concern about the potential for chaos and instability that might accompany the rise of a third-party candidate with little experience in traditional politics.

‘Credibility' only flag mission for new MENA Golf Tour commissioner
20 Aug 2025 00:08 KUUMAR SHYAM (ABU DHABI)The MENA Golf Tour is set to return stronger and better, this time under the stewardship of Keith Waters, who was recently appointed Commissioner and Chairman. Waters, a veteran administrator with decades of experience at the DP World Tour (formerly European Tour), says the priority is not immediate expansion or grandeur, but to restore trust after the Tour took one and two years' break in 2018 and 2023 respectively.'Creating the credibility and the integrity is absolutely critical in the first place,' he said. 'We have got to deliver exactly what we say we're going to do in terms of our schedule and paying out the prize money precisely every week after the tournament. So we're doing the very basic stuff first.'The tour, founded in 2011, understandably had teething problems. It was suspended in 2018 for a season, while a strategic move in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic to align with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, backfired despite good intentions. That partnership attempted to use the MENA Tour's world-ranking status to support LIV's push for ranking points, but Waters explained why it unravelled, 'David Spencer was trying to find a way to generate some more interest in the MENA Tour… He tried to reverse engineer the fact that the Tour had world ranking points to help the LIV Tour. But that wasn't possible. The rules and regulations in place didn't allow the MENA tour events to actually transfer their points in any way to the LIV events.' COVID-19 had already left the Tour reeling, just like sporting events all over the world grappled with the effects. 'The financial challenges they had, it just wasn't a viable product at the time,' Waters said. Cut to the start of the 2025-26 season, the new avatar of the Tour is backed by new investors and a formal company structure based in the Dubai World Trade Centre Free roadmap now is a modest but steady rollout: 12 tournaments with $100,000 prize funds for each, starting with the first event in Portugal and a qualifying school at the end of November. 'We've committed to the schedule and prize money. The players will pay a membership fee and an entry fee to play in the tournaments. And we do have some interested sponsors,' Waters confirmed. Discussions are ongoing with venues in Morocco, Portugal, and across the region, with an eye on sustainability and reducing travel costs by clustering events in the same location. Waters also sees the Tour as a developmental pathway. Talks are underway with the DP World Tour and the HotelPlanner Tour (formerly Challenge Tour) to provide progression routes, while grassroots integration is on the agenda. 'Our ambition is now to create a programme where the children from the schools in Dubai, for instance, will have a pathway onto the MENA Tour. Even if they are 16 or 17, one or two of them will qualify for the tournaments. They may not be professional, but it creates the pathway and the opportunity,' he said. Partnerships with national federations, including the Emirates Golf Federation, are also being lined up. The Tour's international appeal, he noted, will also be strengthened by its calendar. 'There are very few tours that play tournaments in December, January and February at this level,' he said. 'You can't play in Europe at this time of year. The weather is not good enough. So we're creating an opportunity for a large number of players who can't play elsewhere during the winter.'While the ambitions extend to eventually adding a women's circuit and deepening ties with established tours, Waters is determined to avoid overreach. 'I'm 100% confident we will deliver,' he said. 'We have a very experienced team. We have the funding. We've built the platform from a legal and commercial point of view already. It is now about purely delivering from an operational point of view.' For now, the MENA Golf Tour's future rests on whether it can rebuild the trust of players and sponsors alike. 'We're just trying to create credibility, integrity. That is the key.'
