  1. Fuel shortages hit Nasan service stations across Windhoek

    At least four service stations supplied by Nasan Energies have run dry in recent days as logistical, financial and supply issues plague the company's takeover of 52 new stations. Fuel and Franchise Association chairperson Michael Ludeke says retailers are being affected worst financially, particularly due to Nasan's shift from a "load-over-load" payment model to upfront payment for fuel orders.
