Loan saves fuel supplies

    JOHANNESBURG
    The government has secured a loan of about US $100 million for the National Oil company of Zimbabwe (NocZim) to enable it buy fuel and prevent a full-scale shortage, media reports said on Thursday. The loan comes from a consortium of European banks and is part of an overall agreement to renew a US $60 million credit facility granted about a year ago. "The consortium did not only agree to renew the facility but to increase the amount involved to US $100 million," a spokesman for the consortium was quoted as saying.
