Zimbabwe's Zupco suspends operations due to fuel shortage caused by managerial incompetence and political interference.
Zimbabwe Passenger Company (Zupco) has suspended its operations due to a critical fuel shortage, lasting for three weeks, despite the country having adequate fuel supplies. Insiders reveal that managerial incompetence and political interference led to Zupco being blacklisted from purchasing fuel due to outstanding debts, causing workers to be idle and buses to be grounded. Private operators have taken over some routes, and Zupco's challenges highlight issues of corruption, nepotism, and lack of professionalism within its leadership.
