Golden

Polokwane's character shapes what happens at the pump and inside the shop. Golden operates in a city that's a logistics hub and distribution centre for the northern region—which means serving everyone from local school-run parents to long-haul truckers, agricultural suppliers, and business travellers. The forecourt convenience model works here precisely because the city moves goods and people constantly; a stop that understands the mix of quick-bite shoppers, fuel-and-dash customers, and those wanting to sit and rest for ten minutes reflects Polokwane's rhythm as both a regional gateway and a working town.
