I think is illegal to sell fuel, how ever i want our top official to investigate and find out why people are doing that. We need to work on our weakness first as Namibian and find solution to that. Most of the commodities we are just depended on other country when are we going to have our own and release our people from a big burden which is hunger and unemployment. - Hosian Hitanwa

there's hunger in Namibia and poeple their trying solve it in varies ways but our government does n't detect it. leave poeple to sell thier properties... - Toini

when you have enough, you forget about other's sufering i don't see anything wrong with that........ buy and sell as usaul. - Nambala

fuel in Namibia is very expensive but still that doesnt mean that people should do illicit deals. much needed revenue for the state is lost in this way and i remember the government once said the fuel in Angola is not compatible with Namibian vehicles - Sabino

I don't see anything wrong with the purchase of the fuel from Angola, maybe the problem is reselling... It the fact that fuel in Namibia is very expensive, and the government must fast track the acquisition of fuel from Angola... - John

Seems we are suffocated with higher fuel price, I don't see anything wrong with a quick relief. - Kazanga Mathias
