The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has
dismissed reports circulating on social media that the authority is increasing
vehicle licence by more than 500 percent and urged the public not to panic.
The authority said increases will only be effected by
Government through normal channels.
Yesterday, social media was awash with messages encouraging
people to pay for vehicle licences for longer periods as there was going to be
an increase of the tariffs.
In a statement yesterday, ZINARA dismissed the reports of
vehicle licence increase as false. “It has come to the attention of ZINARA that
there are social media reports circulating regarding an imminent increase of
vehicle licence fees by more than 500 percent.
“These reports are false and nothing short of mischief.
There is no need for the motoring public to panic as the information is meant
to cause alarm and despondency. Motorists will be advised in time of any
impending changes to road user charges and such information will follow normal
Government channels and not through social media. Herald
