Fuel prices up again

THE Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (Zera) has announced another fuel price hike for the third time in two weeks with diesel and petrol going up by 21 cents and 8 cents per litre, respectively, pilling more misery on citizens.

Speaking to NewsDay yesterday, Zera acting chief executive officer Edington Mazambani said: “This increase was caused by a marginal upward movement in duty which was affected by the increase in the exchange rate from $9,094 to $9,792 this week.”

Diesel now sells at $9,27/l up from $9,06, while petrol is now priced at $9,09 from $9,01.
