Motorists are queueing for hours at filling stations as a fuel crisis continues in Malawi. Malawi has had fuel shortages since April as global fuel price rises and a shortage of foreign exchange currency leave the government struggling to pay for petrol imports. Fr. Edmond Nyoka is a Catholic Priest in Embangweni, in Mzimba district in the Northern Region of Malawi. He told Newsday: “There are long queues in the gas stations, some people are spending a whole day on the queue hoping to get fuel…sometimes they go home empty-handed.” He added that officials have told people that they will receive “about twelve million litres of petrol and thirteen million litres of diesel in the coming days but…that sounds like a short-term plan.” (Picture: People continue to queue for fuel in Malawi.
