Harare, Zimbabwe (News Of The South) Barely a day after the Ministry of Finance intensified what it termed ´Operation Restore Sanity’ in the Central Business District and the subsequent reducing of ZUPCO hiking fares to RTGS 0.50 the fresh fuel shortage rocked the country.
This followed a statement release issued on Monday by the Secretary for Finance and Economic Development Dr George Guvamatanga purporting the Central Bank was pleased to announce that procurement of fuel by the Oil Marketing Companies was to be done through the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market.
The rapid measures enforced have been met by high fuel shortage witnessed in some various parts of the Capital.
A survey conducted today by this news crew showed that most vehicles spent the day lined up in fuel queues with the few available ones charging exorbitant fares.
By the beginning of dusk hours most people spent several hours at their pick up points waiting for the ZUPCO Buses which are reported to be scarce.
Picture images circulating on the social media show stranded people stampeding into a bus through windows.
