Zimbabwe’s energy regulator on Tuesday announced the increment of diesel and petrol prices by up to 47% effective immediately,24 hours after the central bank said oil firms would now buy dollars to import fuel on the interbank market.
The latest price increase had been expected and follows an earlier 150% hike in January, which sparked violent street protests and led to the death of a dozen people after a security crackdown.
