Lusaka – Zambia shut its sole 24,000 barrel per day Indeni refinery after finding the crude oil supplying the plant was too acidic to process, energy minister Dora Siliya said on Friday.

Siliya said an alternative crude supplier had been found and the refinery would resume operations in around a month.
