Government bans sale of unleaded petrol
BY NOKUTHABA DLAMINI
The government has banned the sale of unleaded petrol, effective immediately.
This move is in line with the new regulations outlined in Statutory Instrument 150 of 2024.
According to the regulations, all unleaded petrol imported into Zimbabwe must be blended with anhydrous ethanol.
The regulations, which were made by the Minister of Energy and Power Development in consultation with the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority, aim to promote the use of cleaner energy.
The regulations state that “these regulations shall apply to all unleaded petrol imported into Zimbabwe” and that “subsection (1) shall come into operation seven days from the date of publication of these regulations”.
