By Paul Nyathi|The government has told Zimbabweans not panic as the country enters a third day with most filling stations empty of both diesel and petrol.

Minister Of Energy and Energy Development Simon Khaya Moyo has issued a statement assuring the nation that government is attending to the issue as a matter of urgency.

Minister Moyo urged the nation to stop the hoarding of the little fuel currently available.

Most major urban centres have been facing critical fuel shortages since the beginning of the week with long queues beginning to be the order especially in the capital Harare.

Minister Moyo blamed the fuel shortages on foreign currency shortages.
