Govt tap into reserves as fuel shortages bite

A statement from the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources says the shortfall will be offset with supplies of an estimated five million litres per week from Mozambique and eight million litres from South Africa that is expected before the end of this week. 

The supply is expected to ease rationing by fuel suppliers between their commercial and retail customers as some filling stations have already been running dry on unleaded petrol and diesel.
