Queues resurface as Zimbabwe runs out of fuel

Long fuel queues have resurfaced in Zimbabwe as filling stations ran out of petrol following a government directive to reduce prices by up to 60 percent, APA observed here.

Only few filling stations in the capital, Harare, had fuel Sunday, resulting in long queues by desperate motorists.

The government Thursday ordered oil companies to slash prices of petrol and diesel to 55 000 Zimdollars (or 46 US cents) and 60 000 Zimdollars (or 50 US cents), respectively, as part of a campaign to contain inflation.
