Mozambican fuel deal clears red tape

Senior officials at the Department of Energy Affairs (DEA) say the existing fuel price slate or formula used was based on supplies from Durban to Gaborone. The same slate, which includes transport costs, dealer and industry margins, is also used for the minimal supplies Botswana receives from Namibia.

With the drive to diversify fuel sources and routes, Engen Botswana expects to pioneer supplies from Matola, a major Mozambican coastal city with established fuel lines.
