MZANSI is finally asking what happens to a car at the END of its life. Government is drafting an end-of-life vehicle strategy for a national fleet that keeps getting OLDER, with owners holding on far longer than they used to. Sensible policy. Terrible timing. Brent has PUNCHED back toward USD100 and diesel is queuing up another heavy hike, so the household motoring bill lands long before any recycling plan does. Gold gave BACK some of last week’s record run, the ZAR slipped off 15.95, and BTC pushed higher regardless. Noise. Recycling a car parc is a decade-long project; the fuel bill is a Wednesday PROBLEM. REVIEW the plan, not the panic. Stay INVESTED.

SCRAP the whole CAR PARC.
