The Automobile Association (AA) is shocked and saddened by the news of the death of Malcolm Kinsey. Malcolm passed away in KwaZulu-Natal yesterday.

Since the late eighties, Malcolm has produced the Kinsey Report on parts prices of vehicles available in South Africa. In 2019 Automobile Association began its partnership with Malcolm and began producing the AA-Kinsey Report.

“Malcolm was an institution in the motoring industry. His annual report was an authoritative and respected publication. He was passionate about the report and was meticulous in putting it together ensuring all the detail could be verified and cross-checked. He was always open to talk about his findings, was humble in accepting accolades, and was, above all, genuinely concerned about giving consumers useful information. He will be missed by the entire motoring industry, and especially those who were privileged to have worked with him. We are devastated by the news,” says Mr Willem Groenewald, AA CEO.

The AA extends its condolences to Malcolm’s family, friends, and industry colleagues.

New Ministers must step up government’s service to citizens

The finalisation of the Cabinet of National Unity by President Cyril Ramaphosa has brought certainty to the leadership of key government departments, a move welcomed by the Automobile Association (AA). The Association notes that Ms Barbara Creecy, appointed as the new Minister of Transport, and Mr GwedeMantashe, re-appointed as the Minister of Mineral and Petroleum Resources, must now ensure effective leadership with a view to making meaningful inroads into critical areas managed by their...

Positive outlook for most fuel prices for July

The small decrease in the number of fatalities on South African roads between the December 2022 and January 2023 festive period and the 2023/2024 period is commendable and signals a slight improvement in road safety efforts by authorities. However, the Automobile Association (AA) remains concerned that the deaths of 1427 road users during the festive period is still too high, and that more needs to be done to effectively deal with road safety in South Africa. Transport Minister Sindisiwe...
