Fuel Shortages Worsen In Harare As Long, Winding Queues Resurface
The fuel shortages that have been experienced in Harare for the past several days have worsened. This is the second time that the country has experienced such acute fuel shortages since elections were held on July 30 2018. Long, winding queues are now the order of the day on the few garages having the ‘precious liquid’. Most of the service stations are totally dry. This is despite the assurances made by the Minister of Finance, Mthuli Ncube that fuel will be available in the next ‘few days’.
The shortages have been blamed on the unavailability of foreign currency need to pay for imports. Meanwhile, reports indicate that the Minister for Energy and Power Development, Joram Gumbo is in Mozambique. He has been conspicuous by his silence in the past few days regarding the fuel situation.
