Botswana Expects Fuel Shortage Until March, Energy Ministry Says
BusinessWeek: "Botswana is experiencing a shortage of fuel that will probably continue until March, the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Affairs said.
The situation is being managed and won’t affect economic output, the Gaborone-based ministry said in e-mailed statement today. The government is trying to import fuel from Namibia and Mozambique because of disruptions in supplies from South Africa and has released a total 17.4 million liters (4.6 million gallons) from its stocks, it said.
“The supply shortage is likely to continue up to March 2011, and the government will continue to work diligently with the oil industry to manage the situation in order to avoid any interruptions to the economy,” the ministry said."
