St Benedict's learners unite for Mandela Month with school-wide acts of kindness
St Benedict's learners unite for Mandela Month with school-wide acts of kindness True to their motto Veritas in Caritate (truth in charity), the St Benedict's College Junior Prep and Preparatory School community marked Mandela Month with meaningful acts of generosity and service. Each learner took part, proving that even small gestures can make a big difference. Grade 00 and Grade 0 learners prepared and donated 125 sandwiches and 90 pieces of fruit to the Elandsvallei Home for the Aged in Primrose.

Food, convenience and loyalty redefine South Africa's fuel stops
As fuel volumes decline and competition intensifies, South Africa's forecourt retailers are shifting their focus beyond the pump toward food, convenience, and partnerships that drive loyalty and spending. Trade Intelligence's latest Forecourt Retail Report sheds light on a channel under pressure, yet actively adapting. Forecourts are evolving into dynamic convenience hubs, embracing partnerships and diversified services to preserve margins and unlock new growth. The fuel that once defined the forecourt is no longer enough to sustain it. Beyond the pump: understanding foot traffic dynamics While fuel volumes have declined by 6.3% over the past year, the number of South African forecourts has grown by +12% over five years. This increased competition, coupled with the increasing dependency on alternate revenues (due to declining fuel sales), creates an environment where the battle for shopper footfall has become the defining challenge – and opportunity – for fuel retailers. To attract shoppers, forecourt operators are investing in three key levers: - Retail partnerships with supermarket brands - Loyalty programmes, often linked to financial or retail partners - Value-added services, from fast-food outlets to parcel lockers and app-based deliveries 1. Retailer partnerships: footfall through familiarity Retailer partnerships are now a hallmark of the forecourt experience. From Woolworths Foodstops at Engen to Pick n Pay Express at bp and FreshStop at Astron Energy, 849 forecourts now host supermarket-branded stores, a +26% increase over five years. Trade Intelligence research shows that forecourt shoppers have a clear preference for supermarket-branded stores over fuel-branded ones, seeking the familiarity and quality offered by established retail brands. 2. Loyalty pogrammes: driving traffic through rewards Fuel providers are increasingly tapping into the power of loyalty programmes. Most major players, Shell, Sasol, Astron Energy, TotalEnergies and bpSA, run their own rewards programmes. At the same time, they are integrating with established retailer and financial institution loyalty ecosystems. Examples include earning Clicks ClubCard points when filling up at Engen, or fuel cashback via Discovery at bp and Shell. The impact is measurable: the Standard Bank UCount partnership with Astron/Caltex, which offers up to R10 per litre cashback, resulted in an +83% increase in customer traffic to Astron Energy versus competitors. 'This demonstrates how well-executed loyalty initiatives can influence forecourt choice,' says Andrea Slabber, insights lead at Trade Intelligence. 'These collaborations are strategic levers to attract footfall by tapping into an existing loyalty base to draw that spend onto their site.' 3. A broader offering: fueling convenience From quick-service restaurants (QSRs) to mini-supermarkets and parcel collection points, forecourts are expanding their role in everyday convenience. The integration of diverse offerings is creating one-stop destinations that resonate with today's time-pressed shoppers. Notable examples include: - Seattle and Vida e Caffè counters inside Astron Energy forecourts - KFC and Pedro's drive-throughs at Shell and bp stations - Pargo pick-up points and Pudo lockers for parcel collection - bpSA's planned rollout of 40 new sites featuring services like licence disk renewals and battery rentals These offerings tap into convenience shoppers' needs, deepening relevance and increasing footfall beyond the fuel tank. Convenience sales rise as fuel margins are squeezed The numbers tell a compelling story. While fuel sales still account for most forecourt revenue in SA, they fell by 4.2% in 2024. Convenience store sales, meanwhile, increased by +4.0%. In the US, although non-fuel categories contribute only 30–40% of forecourt sales, they deliver 60% of gross profit – emphasising the growing importance of non-fuel revenues. The South African consumer's relationship with forecourts is shifting from a pure fuel stop to a desire for convenient, on-the-go solutions. A remarkable 75% of forecourt shoppers surveyed by Trade Intelligence in June 2025 said that they intend to maintain or increase their visits, highlighting the rising relevance of forecourt convenience. The message is clear: the shop matters. Speedy shoppers The average forecourt shopper spends just 3.5 minutes in-store. This incredibly tight window underscores the importance of strategic merchandising. Stocking the right range, clear category layout, impulse-ready positioning, and fast-moving combo offers all play a role. Traditionally seen as more expensive, forecourt stores are starting to shift away from 'convenience surcharges' toward value promotions and regular deals. Combo offers on coffee and pies, daypart-based energy drink discounts, and creative cross-merchandising are all attempts to increase basket size. Getting this right requires tight collaboration between suppliers and retailers – at both national and store level – to ensure the right range, price points, and promotions are in place to meet shopper expectations. Small format, big potential South Africa's forecourt retail sector is at an exciting juncture. With the right combination of retail partnerships, shopper insight, and execution focus, forecourts are well-positioned to evolve into full-fledged convenience hubs – designed to meet today's shopper expectations and to unlock tomorrow's growth. The Forecourt Retail Report is available for download.

WATCH: Lamb Champs turns up the heat for 2025 with flavour, flair and farm pride
WATCH: Lamb Champs turns up the heat for 2025 with flavour, flair and farm pride South Africa's favourite lamb competition, Lamb Champs, is back for its fourth year and promises to be bigger, bolder and more flavour-packed than ever before. Organised by the Southern African Agri Initiative (Saai) and supported by Pick n Pay and Toyota, the annual event shines a spotlight on family farmers and the high-quality lamb they produce. This year's competition has already attracted 250 entries. Farmers from across the country will compete in four regional rounds, all leading up to the national grand final at the Nampo Grounds in Bothaville on October 17. According to Francois Rossouw, CEO of Saai, the competition is more than just a showcase of premium lamb. 'Lamb Champs is about honouring the real people behind every chop, the farmers who work hard every day to bring quality meat to South African tables,' said Rossouw. Qualifying rounds across the country The 2025 qualifying rounds are taking place on the following dates and locations: July 26 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria September 6 at Parys Afridome in the Free State September 24 at Hoër Landbouskool in Paarl in the Boland The first round saw Lize Mans from Kakamas walk away with R40 000 and earn her spot in the grand final. Family farmers who raise lamb anywhere in South Africa are encouraged to enter. Judges score the meat based on taste, tenderness, appearance and overall quality. More than a competition With Toyota behind the wheel, Lamb Champs gives farmers a chance to share their stories, meet consumers and reach new markets. The campaign also celebrates the heritage and sustainability of sheep farming in South Africa. As part of the initiative, Lamb Champs branded lamb cuts sourced directly from participating farmers are now available at selected Pick n Pay stores nationwide. This supports local farmers while giving shoppers access to premium, ethically sourced meat. At Caxton, we employ humans to generate daily fresh news, not AI intervention. Happy reading!
