National Police Spokesperson Assistant Com-
missioner Paul Nyathi said he is yet to get a
report from Chirundu Police over the matter.
Sources told The Mirror that truckers are
diverting fuel from Mozambique and South
Africa destined for Zambia and offloading it
in Zimbabwe where it fetches more money on
the market. Diesel for example in Zimbabwe
costs US$1,40 per litre. After offloading the
fuel, they then proceed to Zambia with tankers
filled with water to enable them to cross the
border.
Once in Zambia they fill up their tanks by
buying fuel from local fuel stations where it is
cheaper and then proceed to deliver to their
actual destinations in Zambia. They make mas-
sive profits by selling fuel in Zimbabwe which
is duty free.
The Police papers say that a Freightliner Colum-
bia truck registration number ACE 2957 driven
by Mutakwa was dispatched at Forbes border
post with 39 660l of diesel destined for Sahara
Energy PVT Ltd Lusaka, Zambia.
As the truck arrived at Chirundu One Stop
Border Post and proceeded to ZIMRA desk on
the Zambian side for acquittal, the driver was
ordered to go back to the Zimbabwean side
for a physical inspection to be carried on the
truck.
ZIMRA official Evelyn Lydia Kudzunga inspected
the truck and discovered that it was loaded
with 39 000 litres of water.
Police later interviewed Mutakwa who impli-
cated Ndalema.
