Fuel queues threaten to get worse

    JOHANNESBURG

    Fuel queues that started reappearing at the weekend threatened to get worse as some garages in Harare ran dry without any indication when the next supplies would arrive, the state owned ‘The Herald’ newspaper said on Tuesday. The report said that some filling stations had not received fuel supplies since last Friday and that there were no indications when they would receive new supplies.

    Zimbabwe, which started experiencing frequent fuel shortages over a year ago, needs more than US $40 million every month to import adequate fuel supplies.
