Four people were arrested on Saturday, November 4, 2023, along the Bindura-Mukumbura Road for smuggling various items. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) reported that the quartet had managed to avoid detection by Immigration officers at Kanyemba Border Post. The items they were smuggling included bales of clothes (mabhero), skin-lightening creams, shoes, and tea bags. Read the statement:
<blockquote>
On 04/11/23, members of the Police who were deployed at a security roadblock at the 40.5 kilometre peg along Bindura-Mukumbura Road intercepted a Scania lorry and arrested , Tinashe Rusike (33), Elliot Hlomayi (48), Nyasha Hlomayi (26) and Edwin Marovanidze for smuggling six bales of teabags, 108 bales of second hand clothes, 61 bales of second hand shoes, 15 bales of java clothes, 15 boxes of skin lightening creams, one box of Apetit medicine and a box of herbicides. The suspects had evaded the immigrations office at Kanyemba Border Post.
</blockquote>
The smuggling of second-hand clothes and other goods into Zimbabwe has been an ongoing issue for years. This is because the textile industry in Zimbabwe has collapsed, making the sale of second-hand clothes a profitable business. However, it’s not just clothes that are being smuggled. Some individuals have also been involved in smuggling medicines into the country. This has resulted in a flood of medicines on the streets, as the formal health sector in Zimbabwe is also in a state of collapse and unable to provide necessary medical products to patients.
The act of smuggling not only deprives the nation of much-needed revenue through taxes but also poses a risk to the lives of the general population. Without proper regulation and quality control, smuggled medicines may not meet the required safety standards, potentially endangering the health and well-being of those who rely on them. Factors contributing to the prevalence of smuggling include the collapse of local industries, the lack of access to essential goods within the formal sector, and the economic hardships faced by individuals who may resort to smuggling as a means of survival. 
In July 2023, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/2023/07/16/africa-has-banned-trade-in-second-hand-clothes-across-the-continent/">adopted a protocol to ban trade in second-hand clothes across the continent.</a> The move aims to promote value-addition and industrialization in the textile industry.
In 2015, Zimbabwe banned the importation of second-hand clothes to protect the local textile industry and promote value addition. However, due to an outcry from vendors’ associations, restrictions were later eased. While the ban has been supported by the industry, informal vendors argue that it would hurt their livelihoods.
Approximately 95% of textiles in Zimbabwe are imported, and the country exports around 85% of cotton lint due to a lack of local investments. Zimbabwe, as a cotton producer, used to have a thriving textile industry but now faces competition from imports and a lack of investment. Traders typically source second-hand clothes from neighbouring countries, sometimes through smuggling.
The East African Community has encouraged member states to buy clothes and shoes made in the region to boost local industries, with Rwanda being the only country to implement the plan through high import taxes.

Quartet Arrested For Smuggling Bales Of Banned Second-hand Clothes, Skin Lightening Creams

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) has adopted a protocol to ban trade in second-hand clothes (mabhero) across the continent. The move aims to promote value-addition and industrialization in the textile industry.
During the Council of Ministers’ meeting held under the theme “The Role of the Private Sector in the Implementation of the AfCFTA: Own and Drive AfCFTA,” discussions were held on various issues, including rules of origin on textiles and clothing, estimated tariff revenue losses, and allocation of adjustment facility. Proposals were also made to front-load liberalization of trade in basic agricultural products. AfCFTA secretary-general, Mr. Wamkele Mene, stated that the decision to ban trade in second-hand clothes is a significant step in promoting industrialization and value-addition in Africa. He said:
<blockquote>
The decision of the Council of Ministers is a strong message that our single market will not be used as a dumping ground for used clothes coming from outside Africa.
</blockquote>
He added that the move would significantly protect the African textile industry and promote investment.
According to Zimbabwe Textile Manufacturers’ Association chairperson, Mr. Admire Masenda, the protocol banning trade in second-hand clothes would revive the textile industry across the continent. Mr. Masenda stated that second-hand clothes have adversely affected the industry, and reviving it would create better job opportunities for citizens who can, in turn, buy new clothes. He cited a study that shows the UK alone dumps about 14 million tonnes of clothes in Africa per year, leading to a loss of approximately 200,000 jobs across the continent.

Africa Has Banned Trade In Second-hand Clothes Across The Continent

Experts have warned that Zimbabwe could lose at least $1 billion per year if the country ratifies the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement. President Emmerson Mnangagwa signed the agreement two weeks ago when he attended the African Union (AU) Extraordinary Session of Heads of State and Government. The losses will result from the removal of tariffs.
International trade advisor F bBrian Murevererwi told The Financial Gazette,
<blockquote>Approximately nine to ten percent of government revenue comes from border duties so if you knock out tariffs, it will translate to losses. This is beside the fact that the agreement will expose the country to more imports.
Zimbabwe has an import bill of $5 billion so if you take out 10 percent of that, it will be a serious blow to government’s budget.</blockquote>
Confederation of Zimbabwe Industries (CZI) president Sifelani Jabangwe said,
<blockquote>In theory, agreements like this must ideally increase business leading to new business offsetting the potential revenue loss. However, if our industry is still in the state that it is in currently, we will end up losing out as a State.</blockquote>
Abigail Shonhiwa, the permanent secretary in the Ministry of Industry and Commerce said that a lot still needs to be done before the agreement can be implemented.
