Government will this year commission 14 additional tollgates on highways across the country under a broad fund raising initiative for road upgrades and construction.
A senior official in the Ministry of transport said the decision was made following indications that revenue was not being optimised on particular highways.
The source said the plan is already underwear and points have since been identified.
Official data shows that single tollgate rakes in between $1,2 million and $1,5 million per year.

14 more Zanu Pf officials have been identified as the next beneficiaries of the party’s rewards program, hence the need to create steady income streams for the them.
Nobody could seriously think that any of the money raised will ever be spent on road repairs.
To upgrade the criminal Robert mpofu bank account. This is a tollgate juice card maputi economy
Would that be soiled “underwear”???
Bearing in mind the state of the roads these tolls are simple theft.
not for the benefit of our roads but just to pay the civil service.
Agree with all comments – just another tax. No sign of any improvements over the years since the tolls were introduced. Hopeless.
