BP Plc said it will focus on South Africa and Mozambique while it will also continue to invest in its operations in Angola, Algeria, Egypt and Libya.

This contained in a statement issued by BP African Unit CEO Sipho Maseko.
The intentions by BP Plc to quench its marketing wing in Zambia will further suffocate the fuel-thirsty nation which has battled with fuel shortages for years due to lack of stable suppliers from Middle East.

Late last year, Zambia experienced a month-long fuel crisis which plunged the nation in economic slowdown by paralysing industrial operations, darkening neighbourhoods and inconveniencing motorists and citizens.
