@BisankaKing Write to ERB and cc CCPC attaching your proof of purchase.
Seek legal redress for damages to your vehicle. You can walk away with a nice package if you use a very good lawyer.

I am compelled to share a deeply concerning experience that occurred to me on Monday, 12/04/2026 at around 12:03 which poses a serious risk not only to motorists but to public safety at large.
After filling up my vehicle with a full tank of fuel at Oasis Filling Station along Kamloops Road in Kalingalinga, Lusaka, my vehicle stalled barely 1.9 km from the station while driving on the highway (Nangwenya Road). The engine completely shut down and could not restart.
Initially, I suspected a battery issue and spent nearly two hours attempting multiple jump-starts, all to no avail. I then contacted my mechanic, who advised that the vehicle be towed back home for proper inspection.
Upon draining the fuel system, we discovered a shocking issue: the fuel contained a significant amount of watery liquid (see pictures attached to this post) Visually and physically, it resembled water contamination. This immediately raised serious concerns about the quality and safety of fuel being dispensed at the station.
I returned to the filling station and reported the issue to the manager on duty. Unfortunately, she appeared to have limited authority and could not provide immediate assistance or resolution without consulting her superiors. Regrettably, this engagement yielded no meaningful response.
Even more concerning, Oasis Filling Station management has proven to be difficult, and non-compliant in resolving the issue affecting my vehicle, despite clear evidence and multiple affected customers on site.
worse off, five other motorists were present at the station reporting similar incidents—vehicles breaking down shortly after refueling from the same location.
As it stands, my vehicle is currently immobilized, and I am likely facing costly repairs due to what appears to be contaminated fuel.
Sadly, This situation is not just an inconvenience—it is a serious safety hazard.
Like in my case, a vehicle stalling unexpectedly on the highway put our lives at risk which could have easily resulted in accidents or fatalities.
As it stands, I personally strongly urge:
- Fellow motorists to exercise extreme caution when refueling in this area.
- The relevant authorities, including the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) and consumer protection bodies, to immediately investigate this matter.
- Oasis Filling Station management to take accountability and urgently address the issue to prevent further damage and harm (though they're proving to be not compliant as I speak right now).
Unfortunately, this incident highlights the critical importance of fuel quality assurance, regulatory enforcement, and consumer protection in Zambia.

Doing new vehicle registration at RTSA is crazy business. Last time I came through, I used an agent and everything was done the same day. By 17hrs the car had number plates on it. Tried to do it myself and am on day three😂..... Waiting for a printout since 9am😪.

@KellyLako @ke_le_brimbor @AskRtsa New vehicle registrations are only done from Lumumba, Mimosa, Great North and Silverest.

@BrenanManda Am heading back there on Friday since the documents are now on a specific table that just requires data capture, tukonfweko😂.

@ZeMwene They will break you if you don't use their agents. I witnessed this at PACRA sometime back

@TelezinahG She has butter fingers, a lot of damage would have been done by month end.

@TelezinahG I learned this a little bit late-Fire fast and hire slow.

@KellyLako @ZeMwene @AskRtsa Maybe Premium & Lumimba are efficient. For me it was Silverest RTSA because it near home. Can’t have certain branches working well & others not. Premium I hear positive views most of the time. Name fits I guess, Lol

@KellyLako @ke_le_brimbor @AskRtsa We are talking about two different transactions here, FYI I am doing new vehicle registration.

@ke_le_brimbor @ZeMwene Hmmmmm, you are on your own. I paid for a Driver's license renewal online, went 2 months later and I spent less than 30min at @AskRtsa Premium House. I did change of ownership more than a few yrs back, I was done in 3 hrs at Lumumba Rd
