Stop Milking Us Dry! - Linda Masarira As Government Adds More Tollgates

Linda Masarira, the founder and leader of the Labour, Economists and African Democrats (LEAD) party, has urged the government to “stop milking” motorists dry following an addition of more tollgates. She said on X:

Another tollgate added just before Chivhu and another one before Marondera. The development will make it 2 tollgates from Harare to Marondera and 4 tollgates from Harare to Mutare. The government of Zimbabwe must be reminded that money does not grow on trees. Overburdening motorists with more tollgates after increasing the tariffs is the highest level of inconsiderate behaviour about the plight of the already overtaxed Zimbabwean. We need a pro-poor government that considers the plight of the people they govern. Stop milking us dry!

toll gates premium roads

The government through the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) increased toll fees effective 5 January 2024 as a measure to raise more revenue. 

On the Harare/Beitbridge and Plumtree/Mutare which are dubbed “premium roads,” toll fees for light motor vehicles have been raised from US$2 to US$4. On all other roads, the increase is from US$2 to US$3. This decision was initially made by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube in the 2024 National Budget, but it has faced criticism from the public.

This tine around let me support Linda Masarira that ZANU PF must stop milking citizens through tolgates. There is only one road where we have meaningful development. This is Harare-Beitbridge road. On all other roads, there is no meaningful development. They are full of gullies and potholes. ZANU PF Government is milking people through tolgates. EHE ICHO !!!!!
