Local suppliers say there's a growing mismatch between rising import costs and the regulated fuel price, leaving them unable to fully recover their expenses.

      <video:title><![CDATA[Can money buy happiness? ]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[The relationship between money and wellbeing is more complex than the old saying suggests. Research consistently shows that higher incomes are linked to greater life satisfaction, largely because money reduces daily stress and gives people more control over their lives. But that link isn't linear. Some studies suggest happiness gains can level off after a certain income threshold, while others show it continues to rise — just more slowly. 
Joining CNBC Africa to discuss this further is Hayley Parry, Co-Founder, Worth Financial Education.
