HARARE – The Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (Zinara) raised road toll fees by 350 percent on Wednesday.
Light motor vehicles will now pay Z$45 at toll gates on Zimbabwe’s highways, up from Z$10.
Zinara also raised the licence fees for light vehicles from Z$200 to Z$750.
Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Joel Biggie Matiza announced the fee increases in two statutory instruments gazetted on Wednesday.
The last review of the vehicle licence fees was in December last year, when they were raised by 100 percent.
Meanwhile, minibuses will pay Z$70, buses Z$90, heavy motor vehicles Z$115 and haulage trucks Z$225 under the new toll fees. Motor cycles remain exempt.
People living within 10km of a toll gate will pay Z$50 daily, or Z$3,000 per month.
Zinara, meanwhile, has pegged fees for new vehicle registration and change of ownership in United States dollars.
