🏃‍♂️💧 What a morning at the John Nugent Memorial Marathon – celebrating 10 years of the Water Race on 12 September 2026!

From the golden sunrise over the pecan orchards to our runners crossing the finish line, it was a privilege once again to serve as one of the "Hydration Heroes" out on the route. Ten years on, this race continues to honour John Nugent's legacy while bringing our community together for a good cause.

A huge thank you to every runner who took on the challenge, and to our amazing team who kept the water flowing along the way. Here's to the next 10 years! 🏆

Tractors, bakkies, irrigation systems, generators, a farm runs on more moving (and electrical) parts than most people realise, often in some of the harshest conditions a battery will ever face.

Dust, heat, long hours and remote locations all place extra demand on agricultural batteries, which is exactly why they need to be right the first time.

Xpress Batteries specialists understand agricultural applications and help farmers across South Africa choose batteries built to handle the workload, backed by advice from people who understand what a working day on a farm actually looks like.

A commercial fleet running below capacity costs more than a single vehicle off the road, it costs deliveries, appointments, and reputation.

Fleet batteries face a tougher day than most: heavier electrical loads, longer hours, more starts and stops, and far less tolerance for unplanned downtime.

Xpress Batteries specialists work with businesses of every size, from single work vehicles to national fleets, helping you choose battery solutions built for demanding operating conditions and keeping detailed track of what your fleet needs and when.

Choosing a battery shouldn’t mean choosing a brand and hoping for the best.

At Xpress Batteries, you’ll find a genuine multi-brand range, including Willard, SABAT, VARTA, GP and our own Xpress Battery range — so our specialists can recommend what actually suits your vehicle, your budget and the way you drive, rather than pushing a single option.

Every battery we fit is backed by nationwide warranty support, so you’re covered wherever the road takes you.

South Africa doesn’t have one food story. We’ve got dozens, and they’ve all been made proudly, deliciously ours.

Our tables have a way of bringing people together, whether it’s around a braai with boerewors on the coals, a potjie bubbling beside the fire or a bunny chow on a Durban afternoon. There’s chakalaka bringing the heat, bobotie balancing sweet and spice, and samp and beans made for a long Sunday lunch.

Different plates, same pride. What’s on YOUR heritage plate this month? Tell us below, and don’t forget: recipe entries for our Heritage Potjie Pot giveaway are still open!

Most battery failures don’t happen on a quiet Sunday when you’ve got time to sort it out. They happen on the way to work, during the school run, or right before an appointment you can’t be late for.

A quick, free battery test takes a few minutes and can save you from exactly that kind of morning. Slow starts, dimming lights and electronics acting up are all early warning signs worth listening to.

At Xpress Batteries, our specialists test properly, explain what they find, and fit the right replacement professionally if you need one.

Pop in for a cup of coffee and a FREE battery test. Find your nearest Xpress Batteries store: https://xpressbatteries.co.za/

Okay wood people, we see you. Now the REAL question: what’s the best braai wood?

Bluegum? Camelthorn? Rooikrans? Or are you one of those “you must use kameeldoring or it doesn’t count” purists?

Tell us your go-to and why it’s non-negotiable. Bonus points if you’ve got a story about the one time you got it wrong.
