Ginimbi's Gas Company Ceases Operation

Botswana Energy Regulatory Authority (BERA) has since compelled the company to cease operating and exchange cylinders for the ones that can be filled by other operators. BERA on Friday informed the public that “Quick Gases (Pty)Ltd has ceased trading in Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) pending the outcome of court processes relating to a matter of the deceased's estate.

The Regulator therefore advises members of the public who currently hold empty cylinders belonging to Quick Gases to exchange them at the Quick Gases facility in Pilane.” BERA spokesperson, Tshepang Monare told The Monitor they had been getting reports from members of the public who were struggling to refill their cylinders. “Upon queries from members of the public we got in touch with the company to establish what was going on. We learnt that due to the court case they were struggling to operate as their bank accounts have been frozen. We had to step in and make sure they assist customers while awaiting a permanent solution,” he said.
