Fuel shortage becomes desparate in Luanshya

The fuel situation in Luanshya has become desperate forcing motorists to the queue for the commodity overnight.

A check by ZANIS at all the three filling stations revealed that only one filling station had petrol while the other two had run out of the commodity.

The situation has put most motorists in panic buying with some buying in 210 litre containers for storage.

Some taxi drivers found at Chisongo service station complained that their business had been affected negatively by the shortage of fuel.

Peter Bwalya, a taxi driver, said he spent a night at the filling station waiting for his turn to refuel adding that he feared to leave the queue because of the scarcity of fuel.

In the other two filling stations, the fuel attendants were ignorant on when there will receive the commodity.

  1. LT what is wrong pa Zed? there is leadership crisis. Zambia with 45 yrs of independence and indeni in Ndola, who accept this mess going on? Botswana has no refinery plant but,there has never been fuel crisis. God help us pa Zed. Meanwhile politicians have increased the number of sits in the national house.

  2. this is crazy, there is a crisis in the nation and the president is busy gallavanting all over the place.the vice president is busy campaigning. who is leading.This is totally unacceptable.

  3. This is seriously getting out of hand.even here in Lusaka the’re fuel ques all-over.,what the F.U.C.K  is going on kanshi ?

  4. i thot Ba RB said he has things under control, so what is this we are hearing about the fuel shortages?
