These measures are temporary (introduced for a three-month period) to prevent fuel hoarding and ensure that supply remains stable for all Namibians.

We urge all fuel wholesalers and retailers to educate their customers on these directives and support fellow Namibians truly in need of bulk fuel for their operations.
