[ON AIR] African countries are continuing to feel the impact of the ongoing war in Iran, as millions of motorists struggle to locate fuel across the continent.

From Johannesburg to Lilongwe, the scenes have been the same this week: 48-hour queues, dry pumps at hundreds of stations and ...rising fuel prices.

Governments are scrambling, with South Africa slashing its fuel levy and Mauritius is rationing power.

In Kenya, motorists have begun crossing into Uganda in search of cheaper fuel at the pump station in the border district of Busia, while in Malawi, the country is reportedly on the brink of a fuel crisis with indications that pump prices could soon rise as global oil supply disruptions intensify.

As global crude hovers dangerously above $100 a barrel, the question remains: how much longer can African economies hold their breath?

To unpack the economic fallout and the path forward,
@TsepisoMakwetla unpacks with Dr Themba Nyasulu, an Energy and Development Economist from Malawi.
