The dark days of shortage of fuel might be upon us once again, a captain in the Petroleum industry has disclosed.
According to the source who did not wish to be named, Malawi faces a heavy blow of fuel shortage as the country is said to be running out of stock due to the attacks on trucks in Mozambique.
A week ago, Mozambique rebels blocked a Malawian tanker belonging to Petroleum Importers Limited along with other six trucks before setting them on fire.
Later, the militants set fire to a Malawian tanker that had 36,000 litres to supply in the fuel pumping stations of the country.
The development has since brought fears of fuel shortage crisis as reports reveal that the country has fuel that will only cater for 21 days.
However, Malawi Energy Regulatory Authority (MERA) acting chief executive officer Elias Hausi has disclosed that authorities are working around the clock to ensure the problem is solved.
Malawi has since set plans to start transporting fuel using routes in Tanzania and Zimbabwe due to the current fighting in Mozambique.
MERA in a statement has said that there will be no fuel shortage.
However the source that spoke to Malawi24 said that it is easier to clear fuel from Mozambique than it is from Tanzania.
“Tanzania has a bureaucratic and difficult style of having to pay for the cost of transferring the fuel via that country,” the source said.
let’s just kill them

Poor planning, y can’t we use Tanzania ports and RSA via Zambia, and this is not the first time Mozambique has gone to war, and rumours of war has been there since the end of the first war, there shall always be war in Mozambique they shall not know peace because of the discovery of natural gas and minerals.
Our govt is adaylight sleeping all they know is pocketing poor tax money. Amadikila chitsotso chilowe mdiso. Whats wrong with Northern Corridor?, and now they know this year we didnt receive enough rain and there will be more electricity blackout, till now no strategies and measure that have put to combat the blackout still eyeing and dreaming daylight.
Talking bro, we have already started feeling the pinch of low rainfall as far as electricity and water is concerned and this is June, they don’t like to develop the northern corridor on political reasons, okay1 truck got burnt in Mozambique if it was me I could have stopped the usage of this highway.we can get fuel from Tz by road to karonga then our tanker ships and bulges play the game on our waters to chipoka and monkey Bay, anyway this is Malawi, we are busy thinking of the next 2019 general elections.
It’s the same rain we received that Zambia received, but they did it differently, and they want subsidy again this season, no plans for irrigation farming instead they are forcing illovo to grow some corn
Last night the President of Mozambique and Mr Chakhama agreed on ceasefire agrement. With EU, South Africa and the Roman Cathoric church mediating the talks and ceasefire agreement. There is no need to punic……
how sure are u?
Check BBC… This is the revew of the 1992 Rome Accord..!
I heard about that agreement too last year whilst I was there in Tete. But the govt breached the agreement
They have agreed to enter into dialogue now….!
Mmmm,bt this couldn’t b the 1st tym 4 these people 2 sign a peaceful agreement!
Tipita tikateteze mafuta athu ku moshiko konko
But u feel sorry for them wakuthawa kwawo, mozambique yikupenja mbembe
during kamuzu era there was heavy war in mozambiki but we never exeperience any shortage of oil
During kamuzu regime there was few cars,northen region was bush while people in Neno were moving naked,its infomation frm kamuzu banda lol.
we only had 3cars during kamuzu era
I guess those comparing Kamuzu era with today’s Malawi were born from 1990 to date. We had few cars frm Toyota, Mandala motors(Ford) Mitsubishi, Subaru, Benz etc. There were no these prenty second hand cars from Japan.
u see!!!
pwahahahaha ndiye mwati anthu aku NENO amayenda maliseche kkkk
Kunali galimoto zingati mnthawi ya chinjoka chokalambacho???? Kamuzu atadzuka lero,angyese ngati mwina ali ku America.
Tankers never get burnt but stil war was there.
We have for a long time used the northern corridor why insist on a route that has all theses challenges?
Zayambika, boma lobera zonse zimakhala zokanika, Kenya yakana kutigulitsa chimanga, now fuel shortage is in the offing. Kaya Mr Ibu boma ndi limenero muisovenge.
