The government has announced plans for a complete dissolution of all <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/ZESA">ZESA Holdings</a> subsidiary boards saying the move is one of the priorities under the state enterprises and parastatals reform agenda. In his 2023 Budget presentation last week, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube said:
<blockquote>
State Enterprise and Parastatals reforms have been guided by the SEPs Short to Medium Term Reform Framework (SEPs-SMTRF), the National Development Strategy (NDS) 1 and Vision 2030. Drawing lessons from the successes and challenges faced in implementing the SEPs-SMTRF since 2018, it is envisaged that the SEPs reform priorities for 2023 will be guided by the following:
(a) Completion of the following on-going SEPs reforms:
• Engagement of strategic partners for IDBZ, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/POSB">POSB</a>, IDC Subsidiaries, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/TelOne">TelOne</a> and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/NetOne_Zimbabwe">NetOne</a>;
• Merger of Genesis and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Petrotrade">Petrotrade</a>;
• Merger of BAZ with <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Postal_and_Telecommunications_Regulatory_Authority_of_Zimbabwe">POTRAZ</a>;
• Merging of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/PowerTel_Communications">Powertel</a>, Zarnet and <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Africom">Africom</a>;
• Complete dissolution of all subsidiary Boards for ZESA Holdings and allow ZPC to engage strategic partners for its power generation projects;
• Implement approved reforms and capacity enhancement for ZIMPARKS;
• Capital raising strategies for Silo Foods, <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_United_Passenger_Company">ZUPCO</a> and Allied Timbers; and
• Implementation of the short-term recapitalization strategy of the National Railways of Zimbabwe.
(b) Transform the Traffic Safety Council into a Traffic Safety Agency, with appropriate legal standing to effectively enforce road safety systems in the country.
(c) Undertake a holistic evaluation of public entities reforms through strategic portfolio reviews and comprehensive diagnostic analysis by sector. This will inform the best reform options for each entity on a case-by-case basis.
In this regard, line Ministries would be required to play a central role to ensure that all public entities under their purview are included in the reviewed Framework.
(d) A number of SOEs have been transformed and now operate viably, for example, Air Zimbabwe.
Government has over the years created investment vehicles and partnered private sector players through joint ventures, to invest in various.

Govt Announces Plans For Complete Dissolution Of All ZESA Subsidiary Boards

The Zimbabwe Passenger Transporters Organisation (ZPTO) has said it has imported 150 buses under the duty-free concession set by Government to complement efforts to improve the public transport system.
ZPTO chairman Sam Nanhanga expressed gratitude over the suspension of duty on buses and vowed to complement Government efforts in the transport sector. He said:
<blockquote>
We want to thank the President (Emmerson Mnangagwa) for introducing the duty free system on importing buses.
As an association we have managed to import 150 buses so we are coming back to Government so that we have a robust mass transportation system in the city. We have already started plying intra-city routes using the new buses. All suburbs countrywide we are deploying more buses as they come in.’
We have partnered other associations like the Passengers Association of Zimbabwe for the passengers in a campaign for passengers to avoid mushikashika. We have bought 150 buses to improve the transport system and we hope that by the end of the year we will double the number. 
</blockquote>
Nanhanga also thanked the Minister of Local Government and Public Work July Moyo for giving their association power to control touts.
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Esau_Mupfumi">Esau Mupfumi</a>, another ZPTO member, echoed the same sentiments and said they were ready to complement Government efforts in carrying passengers across the city and the nation at large.
He, however, lamented the vandalism of some new buses by unknown thugs and pleaded with the police to take action against such acts.

Zimbabwe Passenger Transporters Organisation (ZPTO) Imports 150 Buses

The government has threatened to impound ZUPCO buses that do not have number plates saying they are violating the laws of the land.
These remarks were made by Deputy Information Minister, Kindness Paradza in response to a question by Kadoma Central legislator, Muchineripi Chinyanganya who wanted to know the government’s position on the case. Chinyanganya had asked:
<blockquote>
These Zupco buses that I am referring to were acquired after 2019. The whole fleet does not have number plates, something should be done, just like what the minister has indicated that the entities should lead by example. What steps are being taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs to make sure that they comply with regulations?
</blockquote>
In response, Paradza said:
<blockquote>
It is an offence for any vehicle, including public service vehicles to traverse our roads without number plates. The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) carries out its mandate without fear or favour and will ensure that motorists comply with the law.
May I reiterate that all vehicles, including buses owned by Zupco should have number plates as the ZRP will not hesitate to impound vehicles found without number plates.
The Commissioner General of Police has engaged Zupco management to ensure that their buses and crew comply with all the country’s laws in order to set a good example for other motorists.
I indicated, they must comply with the law. If they do not comply with the law, then the law will take its course.
</blockquote>
Harare East legislator Tendai Biti (CCC) urged the minister to stop ZUPCO’s monopoly saying the government parastatal has no capacity to carry commuters.
Biti, a former Minister of Finance during the Government of National Unity (GNU) said private operators must be brought back since ZUPCO is overwhelmed by demand.

ZUPCO Announces New Fares Effective 1 September

The Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO) Tuesday took delivery of 90 Golden Dragon buses that will be added to the parastatal’s fleet.
The buses were imported by the Government through the Durban port in South Africa before being driven to Harare via Beitbridge.
Law enforcers have been battling to eliminate illegal transporters and unregistered vehicles who are carrying travellers at undesignated points taking advantage of ZUPCO’s failure to satisfy the demand.
ZUPCO acting chief executive Mr Evaristo Mudangwa said the buses were at the ZUPCO depot in Belvedere, Harare where they would be commissioned before being distributed across the country. He said:
<blockquote>
We have received 90 buses today and the date of commissioning is yet to be announced.
</blockquote>
President Mnangagwa commissioned the previous deliveries of 450 Golden Dragon buses this year from China usually in batches of 50.
While ZUPCO is working on extending its Harare passenger rail service to Norton, the passenger company is also revamping the trains to make them more comfortable for passengers.
The return of the ZUPCO recently is viewed in light of the government trying to revive the public sector transport system that has been in shambles. 
The sector has been predominated by private-owned commuter omnibuses some of which have been violating local rules and regulations at the same time putting the lives of passengers in grave danger.

ZUPCO Takes Delivery Of 90 More Buses

ZUPCO Acting Chief Executive Officer, Mr Everesto Madangwa, has revealed the company’s plans to introduce a pre-booking system for inner-city routes.
Speaking to the Herald when the company is expecting another batch of an unquantified number of buses to arrive next month from  China and South Africa, Madangwa said:
<blockquote>We are working on modalities to introduce a pre-booking system for inter-city routes for the convenience of travellers… 
</blockquote>
As it stands, passengers pay when boarding with either cash or tap cards which have to be loaded before coming to the bus. The new system would mean that individuals would have to pay in advance.
ZUPCO currently has 516 conventional buses and 458 commuter omnibuses with the target of the company being to register 1000 commuter omnibuses which together with conventional buses will service both urban and inter-city routes.
Madangwa also indicated that the company intends to provide an uninterrupted and affordable commuter service during the festive season when transport operators traditionally hike fares drastically.
Compared to private commuter omnibuses, the heavily subsidised Zupco buses and Kombis charge very little fares thereby attracting most of the commuters who can no longer afford private transport due to the deteriorating economy.

ZUPCO To Introduce A Pre-booking System For Inter-city Routes

A Sunday Mail article has said that long fuel queues do not make sense when enough foreign currency is being provided for fuel. The article further suspects foul play in the energy industry.
Part of the article reads:
<blockquote>There are indications that in the second half of last year statistics measuring fuel use showed a rapid rise in demand, and if they were measuring fuel purchases accurately then within a few months Zimbabweans collectively were burning almost twice as much fuel as before. That obviously was not possible and the general suspicion was that fuel, all of which is imported, was being bought with what are now called RTGS dollars and illegally exported for sale at a discount in neighbouring countries in hard currency. Or perhaps the imports were only on paper and the fuel was being diverted before arrival in Zimbabwe.</blockquote>
It also suggests that some companies were selling their forex allocations issued at 1-1 between the RTGS dollar and the US dollar. Reads Further the article:
<blockquote>This was one factor that saw the forex allotments changed last week to the interbank rate, the other major factor being the unsustainability of subsidising all fuel imports, for the rich and poor alike, and its replacement by a more direct and smaller subsidy for the poor via a contract with Zupco.</blockquote>
The measures explain the recent closure of some stations. Some stations were charging in US dollars whilst some hiked prices by more than 50% of the legally set price.

Opinion: There Must Be No Fuel Queues As Enough Foreign Currency Is Provided

More buses for the Zimbabwe United Passengers Company (Zupco) are expected to arrive in the country this week. The Government recently purchased 300 buses – 200 from South Africa and 100 from China.
Currently, the company has 255 buses servicing the country’s major towns and cities. 212 of those are being provided by the private sector. In the medium term, Belarus will supply an additional 500 buses under a deal that was struck by President Emmerson Mnangagwa during his State visit to Minsk in January this year.
<div class="sirius-dfp-inarticle">Speaking to the Sunday News, ZUPCO’s acting chief executive officer Mr Evaristo Madangwa said:</div>
<blockquote>We are expecting the next batch of buses in the country during the first week of June. These buses will not be centralised in urban areas only, but to rural areas as well, for most buses that came into the country were being deployed in urban areas, mainly Harare and Bulawayo, but these will be extended to rural routes.</blockquote>
Reports suggest that Treasury intends to allocate $8 million per month in subsidies to Zupco. Madangwa added that the parastatal accepts all forms of payment and has vendors who are selling prepaid cards on loading bays.
Private transport operators argue that they hiked their prices following the fuel price increase. Recently, Bulawayo commuter omnibus operators suspended their services arguing that the business was no longer sustainable.
The government claims that ZUPCO would still make a profit if it charges 30 cents for a trip it is currently charging 50 cents. Meanwhile, commuter omnibus operators are charging between $2 and $4 depending for the same distances.

More ZUPCO Buses Expected This Week, Belarus To Supply 500 Buses

The Cabinet has revealed government plans to privatise the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO). This is premised at resuscitating the operations of the parastatal to ease challenges in public transport.
The development was disclosed by Minister of Finance and Economic Development, Professor Mthuli Ncube at a post-cabinet briefing.
Meanwhile, the cabinet approved a deal to revive Cold Storage Company operations under a joint venture. The deal shall see the partnering company, Boulstead Beef Pvt Limited taking over the management of CSC seven ranches for an initial period of 25 years. It will also be in charge of abattoirs in Bulawayo, Chinhoyi, Masvingo, Marondera, and Kadoma.

Govt Set To Privatise ZUPCO

Addressing the media in Harare on Saturday evening, Minister of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services,  Monica Mutsvangwa said Government will be introducing ZUPCO buses to complement the existing commuting system.
She said the buses will be introduced starting Monday 21 January at 5AM and will ply Harare, Chitungwiza and Norton routes. Said Mutsvangwa:
<blockquote>In line with the Transitional Stabilisation Programme’s thrust to modernise the entire national transport system in the country, starting from Monday 21 January 2019 at 5.am, the government through the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (ZUPCO),  launching an Urban Mass Transportation System to complement existing commuting system. All suburbs within Harare will be $1 per trip, Chitungwiza to Harare will be $1.50 and Norton to City will be $2 per trip. These affordable rates will apply to other towns and cities.</blockquote>

Govt To Introduce ZUPCO Buses Starting Monday

Local Government Minister Saviour Kasukuwere appointed 8 people to the Zimbabwe United Passenger Company (Zupco) board.
Kasukuwere said the board is tasked with reviving the Government owned company by paying its debt and introducing urban buses. Said Kasukuwere:
<blockquote>In order to meet the stated Zim-Asset objectives for resuscitating the country’s industrial base, an efficient transport system for passengers and goods will make a significant contribution towards the Gross Domestic Product. However, in order for Zupco to play that part, a robust turnaround strategy for the company needs to be worked out and gets implemented. Zupco is currently facing challenges of huge debts of money owed to pensioners, Zimra and other service providers which I expect the new board to service.</blockquote>
The board comprises of; Chairperson of the board, Mr Quinton Kanhukamwe, who is also Harare Institute of Technology Vice Chancellor. Other board members are Fannie Mutepfa, Kudzai Murefu-Tshuma, Engineer Bernard Musarurwa, Dennis Ndlovu, Bensen Samudzimu, George Chigora and another member who will be announced in due course.

Govt appoints Zupco board to revive the parastatal and introduce urban buses

Police in Bulawayo have cleared a planned demonstration by over 200 former Zimbabwe United Passengers Company (Zupco) workers who intend to conduct a sit-in at the parastatal’s Khami depot in Bulawayo this week in protest over unpaid severance packages.
In an application letter to police, dated May 10, the former workers’ chairperson Lucas Munyika accused Zupco of defrauding pensioners by deducting and not remitting some of their pension dues to Fidelity Life Pensions Fund for the period 2006 to 2010. Munyika says that this has caused Fidelity Life to refuse paying them their pensions until Zupco has paid over $3,5 million it owes the Pension Fund as per end of 2015.  NewsDay could not reach Zupco management for a comment yesterday.
