High hopes for another fuel price slash

Neighbouring South Africa have effected a cumulative 30 percent price cut since the slump started, but in Botswana consumers have only enjoyed a six percent reduction effected in December last year.

Speaking to BusinessWeek, Department of Energy Affairs director, Kenneth Kerekang said they would make a decision on any adjustments when they meet next week. “We have only reduced prices in December but currently we are working on our price reviews. By next week we will inform the public on the changes that we are going to make,” he said.
