admin18 fuel companies face prosecution
Peter Matambanadzo Senior Reporter
Eighteen fuel companies face prosecution for operating without licences in violation of the provisions of the Petroleum Act.
This follows an ultimatum issued by the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority to the petroleum industry operators to register with the agency before end of May 2012.
The Herald investigations revealed that some of the fuel companies were in breach of various council by-laws and posing a serious fire risk to the public.
Other fuel firms were also storing fuel in water tanks instead of the required standard fuel tanks.
Zera chief executive officer Engineer Gloria Magombo confirmed yesterday that police were already investigating cases with a view to prosecuting the 18 firms for safety risk.
“As the Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority we are aware that there could be non-compliance by some fuel companies that are not licensed and, to this end, have intensified efforts to weed out unlicensed fuel operators who are a safety risk.
“So far 18 fuel operators are to be prosecuted this month for operating without a licence,” she said.
