Petrol drops, Diesel Climbs; The sweet success of Claire’s ARK at Checkers

The Money Show

About this episode

Stephen Grootes speaks to Kevin Lings, Chief Economist at Stanlib, about the mixed August fuel price adjustment, which sees petrol prices drop by 52 cents a litre while diesel increases by up to R1.38 a litre, driven by changes in global oil prices, supply constraints, exchange rate movements, and a lower slate levy.

In other interviews, we look at how Claire Swanson, founder of ARK Provisions, makes her money with a Mexican-inspired sweet idea sparked during a trip to Mexico grew into one of Checkers' fastest-selling new confectionery products, and how retailer support helped the family-run business scale from a home kitchen to supermarket shelves.
