Group creators\u00a0 and administrators\u00a0Fredrick Bvalani\u00a0and Kondwani Chirembo said that they created the group to save fuel other than hopping from station to station. Responding to a question I sent to his Facebook page, Bvalani said:<\/p>\n
We felt there was a need to share info about where we could to (avoid) the tendency of hopping from filling station to filling station using up the little fuel that remained in the tank. Also if one person in the group hits a blank wall at one filling station he would spare the other members a fruitless trip to the same station.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Natural Resources Energy and Mining Minister Grain Malunga was last week reported to have said that Malawians should\u00a0get used\u00a0to fuel shortages. Malawi has for more than a year now suffered erratic fuel supplies negatively affecting thousands of motorists, passengers and businesses.<\/p>\n
The situation is blamed on President Bingu wa Mutharika’s government failure to manage the forex shortages, donor relations and other internal national concerns.<\/p>\n
Malawi is currently suffering lack of strong opposition to the DPP led government. The\u00a0civil societyhas since been silenced on fuel demonstrations.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Paraffin lamps on sale at Chinseu market, Malawi, for 30 kwacha apiece. Paraffin is hard to come by, so some people have been using diesel fuel, which has the unfortunate effect of creating smog clouds in one’s home. Image by Flickr user john.duffell (CC BY-NC-SA 2.0).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
