Jane Mlambo| With fuel in Zimbabwe now on high demand from international truck drivers due to the depreciating value of bond notes and retail time gross settlement (RTGS), enterprising locals have begun buying in bulk in anticipation of harvesting from future shortages.

In one of the pictures making rounds on social media, a Toyota Fun Cargo driver is seen filling a drum with diesel for an unknown purpose though speculation is high that it could be hoarding for re-sell once shortages hit the market.

Today, RBZ Governor has announced his mid term monetary policy which restrict vehicles with foreign number plates to buying fuel using foreign currency only.
