FUEL SHORTAGE HITS LUSAKA
By SIMON MUNTEMBA A SHORTAGE of fuel has hit Lusaka District following tanker drivers’ strike in protest. A number of filling stations had run out of fuel, but that the few that had the commodity were found overwhelmed with motorists. The drivers are protesting failure by oil marketing companies to give the 50 percent delivery of fuel within Zambia. A check on some filling stations yesterday showed that some had not received their deliveries and were not sure when they would be serviced. Some motorists talked to complained that their businesses were being inconvenienced because they could not access the commodity.
