Botswana Oil Warns of Unleaded Petrol 93 Shortage

This shortage is due to circumstances beyond their control.

Mpho Mokgosi, BOL's Senior Manager of Marketing and Communications, explained that within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region, ULP93 is produced exclusively in South Africa at the NATREF refinery. BOL also sources petroleum products from Namibia and Mozambique, which only use ULP95, making it challenging for these suppliers to provide ULP93. Additionally, their storage facilities do not have provisions for ULP93.
