EDITOR —  It is sad that despite the high prices of fuel — shortages of this precious commodity keep resurfacing resulting in long queues, high transport costs among other things. The government needs to do something urgently with regards to the fuel situation. It made more sad news when recent press reports stated that suppliers were apparently refusing to release fuel to Zimbabwe until the government settles what it owes to them. 

What makes the situation more worrisome is that prices of fuel are stable elsewhere in the region, while Zimbabweans have to contend with more anxiety and snaking queues at garages — as the government battles to pay suppliers.

Those who are mostly affected are the ordinary people who spend hours or days in the fuel queues and those who use public transport.
A short journey in Harare that used to cost $0,50 now costs between $4 and $6 leaving most people desperate because they cannot afford even to go to work and to carry out personal business.

The price of basic commodities continue to increase and the government has remained silent as the economy collapses.
Most ordinary people are finding it hard to put food on the table.
Government need to act urgently on the fuel situation because this has major ripple effects on many other things.  

As long as the fuel situation is not addressed government should not expect many tourists this summer season because most of them will be stuck in hotels or moving around will just be too expensive because of fuel shortages.
Disappointed.
