Zim's oil company runs dry - Zimbabwe

Harare - Zimbabwe's state-run oil company has run dry, worsening already critical fuel shortages, the official Herald newspaper reported on Saturday.

Government ambulance fleets, army vehicles and the public transport sector, which all rely on fuel brought in by NOCZIM (National Oil Company of Zimbabwe) have been paralysed, the Herald said.

Some railway services have been dropped, it added.

"There is no fuel here, not a single drop although some is expected early next week," the paper quoted a NOCZIM official as saying.
