I am flying to Parys Friday afternoon and returning on Saturday morning and would like to top up on either avgas or mogas in Welkom.
Seems nothing is available in either Welkom or Kroonstad. Is anybody prepaired to cart some juice to the vlugtenhaven at a nominal fee?
If you can help please contact me on 082 825 6271.

There are crop sprayers based at Welkom. Don't know how you get their number but they helped me with some avgas a while back...
Kroonstad has a healthy EAA chapter and I am sure they can help. try eaa.org.za for contact details or post something on eaa mail group.
