With only about a month before general elections, Zambia's President Hakainde Hichilema on Sunday made a pledge of lowering the cost of living, among others.

Botswana has emulated Namibia by suspending three fuel levies for six months to cushion consumers from the rising global oil prices.

Namibians will experience a reduction in fuel prices effective 4th June, with the petrol price decreasing by 30 cents per litre. 

Both Diesel 50ppm and Diesel 10ppm will drop by 70 cents per litre.
