By Own Correspondent| According to a recently published BBC report. Zimbabwe’s fuel is the most expensive globally.

The report ranks the Southern African nation as the country whose fuel is very expensive followed by Hong Kong and Monaco in second and third places respectively.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa announced new fuel prices which saw the price of the scarce commodity sky rocketing by over 140 percent.

A litre of diesel which costed $1.38 was now pegged at $3.11 while petrol rose from $1.43 a litre to $3.31.

The new fuel prices however triggered nationwide protests which saw soldiers and police details killing civilians in their bid to thwart dissent.
