The Zimbabwean government has done it again. ZERA the energy authorities have effected another fuel increase which will see motorists and generator owners having to pay more than $10 a litre.

Below are the new fuel prices as of tomorrow:

The government has always said they wanted to increase the prices of fuel so that they would be around the $1 USD mark. This draws them closer to that goal. In fact, going by what some banks are paying the government has exceeded its goal.
