If you are travelling between copperbelt and Lusaka and intend to refuel in Kabwe, better not do that as there is a shortage of petrol in Kabwe, long queues forming up. It is anticipated that by midday there will be completely nothing.

A petrol attendant at one of the filling stations told our reporter who is visiting Kabwe, investigating grand corruption “We could have completely run out of petrol, its just because its a weekend and civil servants haven’t been paid”.

Sonta epo wabomba: fuel shortage hits Kabwe. Only two filling stations have petrol.
