By Own Correspondent| Despite assurances that Zimbabwe has adequate fuel stocks, motorists in Harare and Chitungwiza are experiencing worsening fuel shortages which have seen long winding queues being the order of the day.

This is the second time that the country has experienced such acute fuel shortages since elections were held on July 30 2018.

Most of the service stations are totally dry. despite assurances made by the Minister of Finance, Mthuli Ncube that fuel will be available in the next ‘few days’.

Energy and Power Development Minister Dr Jorum Gumbo told the State Media that the current shortages are “artificial” and are creating a “false crisis”.
