Petrol price drops from Wednesday, but diesel costs keep climbing
Motorists using petrol can breathe a slight sigh of relief as the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources has announced a 28c per litre drop in both 93 and 95 unleaded petrol, effective from midnight on Wednesday. However, it's not good news for everyone. Diesel users face yet another sharp increase, with wholesale diesel prices rising by between 63c and 65c per litre, depending on sulphur content. This follows an 82c hike in July, placing further pressure on transport and logistics sectors. Read more: Slight increase in fuel price a possibility Households relying on paraffin will also be affected, as the wholesale price of illuminating paraffin goes up by 32c per litre. The department attributes the diesel and paraffin increases to low fuel stock levels in the US, unplanned refinery shutdowns, and EU refinery closures, all of which have contributed to tight global supply. Fuel prices in South Africa are determined by international oil prices and the rand-dollar exchange rate, with oil priced in US dollars. The average Brent crude oil price dipped slightly this past month from $69,36 to $69,06 a barrel, while the rand strengthened modestly from R17,84/$ to R17,76/$. According to the department, the drop in petrol prices is partly due to OPEC's decision to increase production, along with uncertainty caused by looming US trade tariffs, which could potentially weaken global oil demand. The changes come into effect at midnight on Wednesday. Follow us on our Whatsapp channel, Facebook, X, Instagram and TikTok for the latest updates and inspiration!

Field notes from the end of life: My thoughts on living while dying
As friends are quick to tell me, we are all living with dying. True enough. Especially because I'm 76, or, as my late husband, Alec, would say, 'too old to die young.' But it's still disturbing to get official notice of your imminent demise. Most of us will, at some point, have to navigate this journey for ourselves or with someone we love. In a series of stories, I'll be sharing my field notes as I make my way from here to there, in the hope that others might find it useful.

Cheers star George Wendt's cause of death revealed
George Wendt's cause of death has been revealed weeks after his sudden passing. The Cheers star, famous for playing barfly Norm Peterson in all 11 seasons of the beloved NBC show, died from cardiac arrest, according to the death certificate obtained by TMZ on Thursday. The certificate also reportedly lists congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease and hypertension as underlying causes. Other contributing factors include end-stage renal disease (kidney failure) and hyperlipidemia, per the outlet. Wendt's loved ones confirmed to The Post that the TV icon died 'peacefully in his sleep' on Tuesday, May 17, at age 76. 'George was a doting family man, a well-loved friend and confidant to all of those lucky enough to have known him,' the family rep's told The Post in a statement. 'He will be missed forever. The family has requested privacy during this time.' Wendt, who earned six Emmy nominations for Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for his role as Norm, made his final few public appearances in 2024. In August of that year, he reunited with his Cheers co-stars Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson on their podcast, 'Where Everybody Knows Your Name'. He seemed happy to be in the company of his famous colleagues and even addressed how he landed the role in the sitcom that ran from 1982 to 1993. In June 2024, he made his last public appearance with his nephew, Ted Lasso star Jason Sudeikis. The actor's mum, Kathy, was one of Wendt's sisters. The uncle and nephew shared several laughs while appearing in a comedy skit at the Big Slick Celebrity Weekend in Kansas City, Missouri, alongside comedian Robert Smigel and NFL stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Dressed in Chicago Bears gear, Wendt and Smigel channelled their characters Bob Swerski and Carl Wollarski in the bit 'Super Fans,' marking the first time they played the characters since Chris Farley's death in 1997, reported KCTV5. Sudeikis stepped in as Farley's character, Todd O'Conner, and the trio hounded Kelce about his romance with Taylor Swift and the Kansas City Chiefs. Wendt also appeared alongside his famous nephew in January 2024 at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. The late star walked with a cane as Sudeikis guided his uncle down the red carpet before he joined some of his Cheers castmates on stage during a special tribute honouring the most beloved shows in television history. Several of Wendt's co-stars broke their silence about his death. 'I am devastated to hear that Georgie is no longer with us,' Danson, 77, shared with The Post. 'I am sending all my love to Bernadette and the children. It is going to take me a long time to get used to this. I love you, Georgie.' Rhea Perlman said: 'George Wendt was the sweetest, kindest man I ever met. It was impossible not to like him. As Carla, I was often standing next to him, as Norm always took the same seat at the end of the bar, which made it easy to grab him and beat the crap out of him at least once a week. I loved doing it and he loved pretending it didn't hurt. What a guy! I'll miss him more than words can say.' Despite Cheers ending after 11 seasons and 28 Emmys, Wendt's character lived on. He went on to play Norm in two Cheers spin-offs: The Tortellis and Frasier, as well as shows like The Simpsons, Family Guy, Wings and more. Wendt starred as himself on Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show, and was featured as a recurring character on The Naked Truth and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Wendt is survived by his wife, actress Bernadette Birkett; their children Hilary, Joe and Daniel; and his stepchildren, Joshua and Andrew.
