The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) says it has disbursed over $33.8 billion to road authorities for maintenance and rehabilitation in the first half of the year.
ZINARA announced the figures in a disbursement schedule published on Sunday.
In an interview with <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/zinara-disburses-34bn-for-rehab/">The Herald</a> on Sunday, ZINARA chief executive, Nkosinathi Ncube, said:
<blockquote>
From January to 30 June 2023, we have disbursed more than $30 billion to all the road authorities that we have in this country.
We are going to continue on this trajectory as we continue to strengthen our governance systems. As an organisation, we believe in transparency.
We urge our road authorities to timeously put their disbursements to use in order to preserve the value of the funds…
We observed that some road authorities at times struggle to come up with interim payment certificates (IPCs) and also face some contract management issues which delay their acquittal processes.
We, therefore, resolved to embark on continuous training programmes for our road authorities.
Our last workshop was in April and we will be resuming these trainings during the third quarter and last quarter of the year.
</blockquote>
Below is what each province received according to ZINARA:
<ul>
<li>Harare Metropolitan Province – $1.5 billion</li>
<li>Bulawayo Metropolitan Province – $752.4 illion</li>
<li>Manicaland Province – $561 million</li>
<li>Mashonaland Central- $416.5 million</li>
<li>Mashonaland East – $422.7 million</li>
<li>Mashonaland West – $634.2 million.</li>
<li>Masvingo – $253 million</li>
<li>Matabeleland South – $589.3 million</li>
<li>Matabeleland North $600.3 million</li>

ZINARA Says It Has Disbursed Over $30 Billion For Roads Rehabilitation

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has suspended nine employees deployed at various tollgates across the country for allegedly engaging in fraudulent activities.
According to a ZINARA internal communique from the risk and loss control unit to members of staff, the unit identified suspicious conduct at some tolling sites resulting in the suspensions.
ZINARA’s head of corporate communication and marketing Tsungie Manyeza confirmed the development to <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200014415/zinara-suspends-employees-over-fraud">NewsDay</a>. She said:
<blockquote>
As a rejuvenating brand, the new ZINARA is leaving no stone unturned in flushing out all forms of vices that negatively impact our revenue collection mandate.
The strengthening of our controls is fast yielding results in plugging revenue leakages in our systems.
We are taking a hardline stance against all forms of fraud and we have a robust procedure in place to close off the loopholes.
Meanwhile, our partnership with the Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission in the forming of the integrity committee has also yielded positive results whose role has gone a long way in plugging leakages.
</blockquote>
Manyeza also urged members of the public to assist in plugging revenue leakages by reporting suspicious transactions. She said:
<blockquote>
We aim to improve customer experience at all levels of our operations and we always encourage customers to get receipts as proof of payment for all the transactions they do.
We also encourage them to check that the motor vehicle details on their receipts are correct.
</blockquote>
In December 2021, Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) chairperson Justice Loice Matanda-Moyo said ZINARA, the Vehicle Inspection Department (VID), and the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) were the most corrupt state departments.
Last month, a ZINARA licensing officer Patricia Chikorwe, stationed at the Harare Exhibition Park Branch, was sentenced to three years in jail after she was convicted of 258 counts of criminal abuse of office for manipulating the vehicle licensing system, resulting in a loss of potential revenue of US$168,458 for ZINARA.
In February last year, the ZACC arrested 12 ZINARA employees for fraud involving $9,8 million after they created fake tap cards which they swiped for motorists at the Shurugwi tollgate.

ZINARA Suspends Nine Employees Over Fraud

Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister Felix Mhona has said corruption is undermining the credibility of the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA).
Speaking at ZINARA’s annual general meeting held at a local hotel in Harare this week, Mhona said:
<blockquote>
Corruption undermines the credibility of the organisation and erodes public trust in the Road Fund.
</blockquote>
He urged ZINARA to work with various stakeholders including the media to improve its image. <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200014177/corruption-damaging-zinara-image-minister">Mhona said</a>:
<blockquote>
This includes partnering with civil society organisations where possible and the media to promote awareness of the organisation’s mandate, brand at large and also the good things being done which may at times go unnoticed.
This includes implementing strict procurement procedures to realise value for money, ensuring that contracts are awarded fairly and transparently, and conducting regular audits to identify and address irregularities.

ZINARA Hikes Toll Fees Effective 15 June 2023

Former Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) chief executive officer Saston Muzenda (48) has been jailed for 36 months for corruption, reported <a href="https://www.newzimbabwe.com/former-zinara-boss-jailed-for-corruption/">NewZimbabwe.com</a>.
Muzenda was charged with criminal abuse of office as a public officer and was convicted after a full trial.
However, six months of his sentence was suspended on condition he doesn’t commit a similar offence in the next five years.
He will, therefore, serve an effective 30 months.
Muzenda was found guilty of unlawfully awarding a tender to an undeserving security company, at the expense of two other firms, which had been awarded the job.
He allowed Ex-Combatants Security company to provide services to ZINARA when the ZINARA board had resolved to give the job to Morden Security and Real Star Security.
Allegations were that in June 2019, Modern Security and Real Star Security were awarded tenders to provide services at ZINARA’s Northern and Southern regions from September 1 of the same year.
Ex-Combatants and National Eye Security’s contracts were expected to end on August 31, 2019, before Modern Security and Real Star Security took over.
Muzenda, who was acting ZINARA CEO, had already allowed Ex-Combatants Security to add security guards in areas that were manned by National Eye Security. Prosecutors said:
<blockquote>
The accused person went on to write a letter to the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (PRAZ) seeking the extension of the contract for a further 12 months.
</blockquote>
PRAZ asked Muzenda for the contracts and he responded by saying he had already extended Ex-Combatants Security’s contract by 12 months. Appearing for the State:
<blockquote>
This was unlawful and unexpected of the accused person who held public office at the time.
ZINARA had to make payments amounting to ZWD300 948 to Ex- Combatants Security after receiving a letter from PRAZ instructing them to terminate their contract with the security company.
</blockquote>
During the trial, Muzenda denied the charges. He argued that the security companies were already involved in contractual disputes when he assumed the position of CEO at ZINARA.

Former ZINARA CEO Jailed 36 Months For Corruption

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has borrowed $600 million from Nedbank for the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme 2 (ERRP2).
The Government gave a guarantee that the money will be repaid by the end of May.
<a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/zinara-borrows-600m-for-errp/">The Herald</a> reported that ZINARA has a substantial daily inflow of revenue from its toll gates and vehicle licence fees, but occasionally borrows to speed up progress or to finance a major set of roadworks.
The notice of the guarantee was gazetted by Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube as 131H of 2023. Said Ncube:
<blockquote>
The guarantee is surety to Nedbank Zimbabwe Limited that Government will honour ZINARA’s obligations under the composite bridging facility for road rehabilitation works for the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 project in the event that ZINARA defaults on its contractual obligations.
The total amount covered by the guarantee is for $600 million including accrued interest.
The guarantee shall be applicable and become payable in so far as the funds were used by Zinara for the sole and authorised purpose of constructing the road rehabilitation works under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme Phase 2 project.
</blockquote>

ZINARA Borrows $600 Million For Roads Rehabilitation

Transport and Infrastructure Development Minister Felix Mhona said that the government has started disengaging from the Univern contract after it was deemed inconsistent with the Procurement Act.
This came after the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report made under the 2016 Audit Report presented before Parliament showed that the granting of the contract to Univern was not consistent with the Procurement Act.
Both the Audit Report and PAC established that it was improper for the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) to pay huge amounts of money to Univern when it had not constructed a single tollgate.
Addressing lawmakers in the National Assembly, Mhona said the government cannot continue with the contract. He said:
<blockquote>
We have started disengaging from Univern. So, we cannot say we have given them a lifetime.
They were arguing to say their contracts are ending in 2029/30 but we said alas, we cannot continue with this contract which was a one-paper or whatever.
We need to regularise and make sure we are in line. We cannot wake up and we don’t want them.
We need to take over from them and we have done that in terms of the database, which was also another problem where the database was still within their purview.
We are less than 24 months for them to end their contracts. We are taking over the systems.
We are saying at the end of the day, for a contract that did not have an end date; we managed to sit and say we need this to have finality in terms of the contract arrangement.
Precisely, I do concur that it was a bad contract, no one disputes that.
</blockquote>
<a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Univern_Enterprises">Univern Enterprises</a> is a Zimbabwean-registered firm that supplies IT systems, as well as various goods and services in Zimbabwe.

Govt "Disengaging" From Univern Contract, Says Minister Mhona

The Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) chief executive officer has responded to claims by Harare mayor Jacob Mafume that the local authority has been failing to repair roads since it (ZINARA) took over. 
Earlier on Tuesday, Mafume was quoted as saying the local authority has no choice but to take ZINARA to court so that it can be deconstructed and vehicle licensing be brought back to the local authorities.
In response, the ZINARA issued a statement saying, among other things, in 2021 the City of Harare failed to fully its allocation. Reads the statement:
<blockquote>
Whilst we don’t want to respond to rhetoric, we feel duty-bound to inform the nation with facts on certain inaccuracies. 
Firstly, we want to categorically state that, ZINARA has consistently disbursed funds for road rehabilitation and maintenance to all the Road Authorities, the City of Harare included.
According to the dictates of the Roads Act, a Road Authority can only access a new disbursement from Zinara after acquitting its previous disbursement. 
As for the City of Harare, it is important for the nation to know that in 2020, their total allocation was 86 million ZWL which could be translated using the prevailing exchange rate at the time and ZINARA disbursed 100 percent of that amount and the city of Harare failed to acquit their last disbursement.
As a result, they failed to access an early disbursement in 2021. The City of Harare’s allocation for 2021 was 1, 3 billion which again can be translated to USD using the exchange rate at the time. 
However, the City of Harare only requested 154 million ZWL of this total allocation and failed to utilise in excess of 1,1 billion ZWL. 
In 2022, they are yet to acquit their fourth quarter disbursement of 566 million ZWL despite the fact that most Road Authorities have already acquitted their 2022 disbursements. 
This means that even if funds were to be disbursed today as per the ZINARA schedule for 2023, Harare residents will still be deprived of service delivery until their Road Authority follows the dictates of the Road Act.
We continue to urge all Road Authorities to timeously acquit the disbursed funds in order to access their next allocation. 
It is a fact that our roads need to be rehabilitated and we need to work hand in glove to address this. 
Whilst some may argue the funds disbursed are not enough to meet all the needs, it will also be noble to be transparent and show the nation how the received funds were utilised.
</blockquote>

ZINARA Responds To Harare Mayor's Threat Of Legal Action Over Road Funds

City of Harare mayor Jacob Mafume has accused the Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) of allocating “crumbs” to the local authority which has made it difficult for them to repair roads in the city.
He said the local authority l has no choice but to take ZINARA to court so that it can be deconstructed and vehicle licensing be brought back to the local authorities.
Mafume said the Harare City Council is now being forced to use its own funds and City Parking funds mostly for road rehabilitation as the allocations from ZINARA are insignificant.
He said the local authority’s failure to repair and maintain roads and the attendant infrastructure began when ZINARA took over.
According to a statement posted on the City of Harare’s Facebook page, in the last five years out of expectations of plus or minus US$60 million per year, the City of Harare received less than US$2.5 million per year.
The local authority said it has not received anything from fuel levy and carbon tax revenues in the past. Mafume was quoted as saying:
<blockquote>
To illustrate the sad state of affairs in the Roads sector we had a target of 40km of road rehabilitation but because of funding constraints we only managed to do 12.5km of rehabilitation and in terms of routine maintenance our target was 450km and on this one we managed to do 436km using funds from City Parking Pvt Ltd and the budget provision.
If ZINARA funds were allocated during the first Quarter of the year, we could have done over 89km of Road Reseal, 52km of overlay and 20km of Road Reconstruction.
The last disbursement made in December 2022 meant that we could only do 15km of reseal, 8km of overlay and 3km of reconstruction.
</blockquote>
Mafume said it was high time responsible authorities and Members of Parliament took heed of the calls by local authorities and residents to reform the ZINARA model.

Harare Mayor Vows To Take ZINARA To Court Over Road Funds

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has condemned local authorities for shoddy work on some road rehabilitation projects that are undertaken using funds disbursed by ZINARA.
In a statement, ZINARA also chided local authorities for overcommitting or signing contracts that are way above the resources allocated. ZINARA said:
<blockquote>
Another area of concern noted by ZINARA in 2022 was the low quality of work by some local authorities.
There is a need for local authorities contractors to ensure sustainable quality work because the resources that ZINARA has are limited compared to the work that needs to be done on our roads.
Analysis of the 2022 disbursement statistical data, ZINARA noted that some local authorities overcommitted and entered contracts that were way above their allocations.
Going forward, ZINARA urges the local authorities to budget within their allocations and ensure timely acquittals of disbursed funds.
This is prudentially important in terms of value preservation of their allocated funds.
</blockquote>
ZINARA has unveiled ZWL$93 billion towards road rehabilitation and maintenance this year while over ZWL$30 billion was disbursed to local authorities last year.
According to the latest funding disbursement report issued by ZINARA on Sunday, 22 January 2023, Harare Metropolitan Province received the highest funding of $1.73 billion in 2022.
Matabeleland region, which includes Bulawayo and sister provinces of Matabeleland North and South, got a combined total of $1.24 billion.
Matabeleland North Province received $422.9 million, with Victoria Falls receiving the highest amount of $120.8 million for road rehabilitation and maintenance under the urban councils’ category in the province.
Umguza Rural District Council got the lion’s share among rural local authorities in Mat’ North Province. It received $70.9 million. | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/zinara-blasts-councils-over-shoddy-jobs/">Chronicle</a>

ZINARA Condemns Local Authorities Over Poor Workmanship On Road Projects

A Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) tollgate cashier was arrested on allegations of defrauding NetOne of ZWL$16 million.
Tongai Clive Shonhiwa (34) recently appeared before Harare magistrate Dennis Mangosi, who granted him $50 000 bail and remanded the matter to 12 December.
The complainant in the case is NetOne Cellular (Pvt) Ltd, represented by its fraud manager Munyaradzi Hove.
Allegations are that from July 2022 to date, ZINARA received point-of-sale machines from various banks with NetOne post-paid data lines for use at tollgates across the country.
On dates unknown to the prosecution, but during the same period, Shonhiwa allegedly removed several post-paid NetOne data sim cards from point-of-sale machines under his charge and gained access to NetOne data recharge platforms.
The accused would then sell the post-paid data lines to unsuspecting clients claiming that the lines had several benefits and packages including unlimited data recharge and talk time.
It is alleged that during the same period, the accused sold two data lines to Courage Nemaisa for US$500.
Nemaisa allegedly then gave one of the paid lines to Talent Taunezvi and the two used these lines to transfer data bundles to several clients at a fee.
NetOne detected the fraud and reported the matter to the police, leading to the arrest of Nemaisa and Taunezvi who then implicated Shonhiwa. | <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200004129/netone-loses-16m-to-zinara-cashier">NewsDay</a>

NetOne Loses $16 Million To ZINARA Cashier

The government on Friday, 28 October reviewed the New Limpopo Bridge tolling system at Beitbridge border post to allow the fees to be paid at the prevailing bank rate of the day.
The changes are contained in Statutory Instrument 184 of 2022 which reads in part:
<blockquote>
It is hereby notified that the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Development, in terms of sections 6 of the Toll-Roads Act (Chapter 13:13), has made the following changes –these regulations may be cited as the Beitbridge (Tolling) (Amendment) Regulations, 2-022 (No 2).
The Beitbridge (Tolling) regulations, 2014, published in Statutory Instrument 100 of 2014 (hereinafter referred to as the principal regulation) is amended by the repeal of the schedule and the submission of the following- the motor vehicle will pay US$4, light motor vehicle up to 3 tonnes (US$9) and heavy vehicles to pay US$23.
The fees above shall be payable in United States dollars or South African rand using the exchange rate as published by the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe as at the date of payment.
</blockquote>
Since 2014, the bridge toll fees were fixed for light motor vehicles paying US$4 or R55, light motor vehicles weighing up to three tonnes, (US$9 or R125), while heavy vehicles were charged US$23 or R325.
The toll fees are collected by the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA). | <a href="https://www.chronicle.co.zw/limpompo-bridge-tolling-fees-now-payable-in-bond/">Chronicle</a>

Govt Reviews New Limpopo Bridge Tolling System

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has said all vehicles without valid license discs will NOT be allowed to pass through the Tollgates with effect from 01 October 2022.
In a public notice, ZINARA said motorists with valid insurance receipts will be able to pay for their vehicle license discs at the Tollgates. However, they will be able to collect them at the nearest ZINARA licensing offices. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
The Zimbabwe National Road Administration would like to advise the motoring public that all vehicles without valid license discs will NOT be allowed to pass through the Tollgates with effect from 01 October 2022.
This is in line with the Vehicle Registration &amp; Licensing Act (Chapter 13:14) subsection 6 and 22 which states that all vehicles which are de-registered, vehicles with licensing exemptions, and vehicles without number plates are not allowed to move around Zimbabwean roads.
As such, we urge the motoring public to make sure that their vehicles are fully licensed before they embark on any travel to avoid inconveniences.
ZINARA will allow motorists with valid insurance receipts to pay for their vehicle license discs at the Tollgates and collect them at the nearest ZINARA licensing offices.

Vehicles Without Valid License Discs Won't Pass Through Tollgates - ZINARA

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) says it is owed millions of dollars by over 100 000 motorists who are in road licence arrears.
This was revealed by ZINARA Public Relations and Marketing Manager Tendai Mugabe during an exclusive interview with <a href="https://masvingomirror.com/vehicles-in-road-license-arears-will-not-pass-through-tollgates-zinara/">The Mirror</a> at the Zimbabwe Agriculture Show (ZAS) in Harare on Friday.
Mugabe said ZINARA is conducting a promotion at ZAS and all its stations countrywide where motorists in default are allowed to pay the arrears without paying penalties.
The promotions started on Monday and ends on Saturday 3 September 2022.
Mugabe advised motorists that all vehicles with licence fees arrears will not be allowed to pass through tollgates after the expiry of the promotion. He said:
<blockquote>
We have suspended penalties. We started the promotion on Monday and it’s ending [on Saturday].
We urge motorists to take advantage of this promotion. Motorists can pay at any ZINARA office or agent, nationwide for the duration of the show.
</blockquote>
Mugabe also announced an incentive for vehicle owners who pay licenses for two or more terms in advance.
These will get a free pass for three tollgates and the pass is valid for seven days.

ZINARA Hikes Toll Fees Effective 03 August

Transport and Infrastructural Development minister Felix Mhona said that the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) is now sticking to its mandate of collecting and disbursing funds.
Speaking to journalists at the end of the tour of the Harare-Beitbridge highway on Saturday, Mhona lauded ZINARA board chairman George Manyaya for steering the parastatal back on course. He said:
<blockquote>
Contrary to what has been happening where ZINARA was involved in construction works, I am happy to say that this is no more.
Others when they heard he [Manyaya] is the new chairman, they were wondering whether the youthful executive would lead ZINARA. He has succeeded.
</blockquote>
ZINARA has in the past courted controversy after a forensic audit of the parastatal unearthed corporate governance deficit leading to the abuse of public resources.
A parliamentary portfolio committee report also revealed that ZINARA had recruited unqualified people without a process of public interviews, public scrutiny and public competition.
Mhona said ZINARA had become associated with the abuses of public funds and he enjoyed grilling the ZINARA team every time they appeared before a parliamentary portfolio committee. He added:
<blockquote>
I am happy that the narrative has changed.

Transport Minister Lauds Transformed ZINARA

Hundreds of rowdy ZANU PF supporters reportedly overran a tollgate in Goromonzi, Mashonaland East Province after vandalising a side gate and driving through in a convoy of nearly 15 vehicles on Saturday.
ZimLive reported sources as saying the ZANU PF supporters were returning from a rally at Rudhaka Stadium in Marondera.
Four buses arrived at the tollgate en route to Harare at around 6.30 PM, and rowdy ZANU PF supporters reportedly harassed Zimbabwe National Roads Administration (ZINARA) staff demanding free passage.
A ZINARA employee refused to allow the buses through without paying the US$4 or ZWL$1 400 toll fees for each bus.
The ZANU PF mob then forced open the boom gate and waved the buses through as deployed armed police officers watched on helplessly.
One motorist who was passing through the tollgate when the fracas occurred told ZimLive that ZANU PF supporters grabbed the ZINARA supervisor and threatened to beat him up for attempting to deny them free passage. Said the motorist:
<blockquote>
Just after the buses left, another convoy of between 12 and 15 Zanu PF vehicles displaying President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s pictures pulled up.
They also demanded to be let through, but ZINARA employees refused them passage, pointing out that they had no exemptions for free passage.
A stand-off ensued and at one point they manhandled the ZINARA supervisor threatening to beat him up.
As this was happening, others forced open a side gate used by construction vehicles and their vehicles drove through. It was an orgy of lawlessness.

ZANU PF Convoy Overruns Goromonzi Tollgate

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) has fired seven cashiers at Flamingo tollgate in Gweru while eight other cashiers at the same post resigned after they were caught stealing millions of dollars.
This was revealed by Acting ZINARA chief executive officer Gilfern Moyo while addressing a Zimbabwe Anti-Corruption Commission (ZACC) – ZINARA roundtable dialogue and training workshop for ZINARA integrity committee members in Gweru on Thursday, 30 June. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
At Flamingo toll gate in Gweru, we were faced with a theft scandal involving millions of dollars.
Seven cashiers were dismissed after they were found guilty of the counts they were facing.
Eight of them resigned before the internal process commenced while two were acquitted at the end of the internal process.
</blockquote>
Moyo commended ZACC for having alerted ZINARA of the misappropriation of funds that was taking place at the tollgate. He said:
<blockquote>
ZINARA instituted thorough investigations after receiving a tip-off from ZACC last year that some employees stationed at the Flamingo tollgate in Gweru were abusing the ZINARA prepaid cards.
That is the partnership we are looking for and that is why we have the integrity committee in place. We don’t condone corruption.
</blockquote>
Moyo also revealed that ZINARA was increasing surveillance at tollgates in order to curb the leakage of funds. Said Moyo:
<blockquote>
We are beefing up the ICT department, we have installed CCTV at tollgates but at times we are shocked to find some disconnected at tollgates.
The reason given is that when there is a power outage, they fail to get them running. 
Statistics have shown that where CCTV is not functioning or where there is a manual tolling system, revenue inflows plummet drastically and that is why we need to computerise operations.

ZINARA Announces Prepaid Tolling Card Minimum Balances

Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) board chairperson George Manyaya, said that the organisation has plugged all revenue leakages and the abuse of public funds is now a thing of the past.
Addressing the fifth ZINARA annual meeting in Harare, Manyaya said that the ZINARA board and management team have been reconstituted to enhance good corporate governance. He said:
<blockquote>
Misappropriation and abuse of funds are a thing of the past.
The shareholder cleaned up the board which was also tasked with cleaning up the management team now headed by Fintech guru Nkosinathi Ncube.
The new executive team has been working very hard to adhere to various recommendations from the audits that were carried out and from Parliament as well.
Their focus is on transparency, improving staff performance and culture, and coming up with mechanisms and policies that improve the performance of the organisation.
</blockquote>
Manyaya also said in inflation-adjusted terms, ZINARA reported a net surplus of ZWL$4.1 billion in 2020, up from ZWL$1.5 billion in 2019.
ZINARA finance director, Adam Zvandasara, said they have to constantly adjust to changing foreign exchange rates. Said Zvandasara:
<blockquote>
We can’t review toll fees every week like what happens with the exchange rate, so we have come up with our own internal formula which tracks movement based on 10 percentage points.
For example, if the rate is $110:US$1, we wait and only review when it hits US$122.
</blockquote>
Transport and Infrastructural Development Minister, Felix Mhona, said:
<blockquote>
… I must say that the alignment of ZINARA to its mandate is now bearing fruit.
Going into 2022, the Government, through ZINARA, is going to expedite funding to all the road authorities to ensure that much ground is covered in terms of road rehabilitation.
</blockquote>
ZINARA says it has distributed nearly ZWL$6 billion to all provinces and local authorities for road maintenance in the first quarter of this year under the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme (ERRP).

Abuse Of ZINARA Funds A Thing Of The Past - Manyaya

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) said that vehicle owners who are behind in their vehicle licence payments will be allowed clear arrears without incurring any penalties during the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair from 26 to 30 April.
ZINARA public relations and marketing manager Tendai Mugabe said the offer to motorists is part of the ZITF promotion held annually.
He urged vehicle owners with arrears to take advantage of this window period to pay their vehicle licences at minimum cost.
Motorists can make payments at any ZINARA office or agent across the country. Said, Mugabe:
<blockquote>
We want to encourage motorists who have arrears to take advantage of this window period to regularise their vehicle licences at ZINARA offices or that of our licensing agents countrywide.
</blockquote>
Mugabe also said ZINARA would give tollgate exemption coupons to motorists who are up to date with payment of their licences during ZITF. He said:
<blockquote>
As ZINARA, we salute all motorists who are paying their vehicle licences because this has enabled us to make timely disbursements to road authorities.
We are also appealing to road authorities to expedite their acquittal processes to accelerate the refurbishment of our road network.

ZINARA Offers Licence Arrears Amnesty... Tollgate Exemption Coupons

Officials from the Zimbabwe National Roads Authority (ZINARA) and the Vehicle Inspectorate Department (VID) have been summoned to Parliament to explain what happened to the funds released two years ago for the upgrading of VID premises in Mutare.
This comes after the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development toured VID Mutare on Thursday.
It emerged that some facilities earmarked for construction at the VID premises don’t exist despite the Government availing the funds two years ago.
Acting Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee, Novert Muponora confirmed to ZBC News that ZINARA and VID officials have been summoned to Parliament to explain what happened. Said Muponora:
<blockquote>
We came here to Mutare in 2020 after receiving information that at VID Mutare, a state-of-the-art hill-start was constructed as well as a carport that was upgraded.
We were told that a weighbridge and border post was almost complete. We realised that this was not so despite the government having disbursed money for the projects.
We are disappointed that we visited again two years later and the projects never took off despite having been promised that the project will be completed within 6 months since funds have been released for the project.
</blockquote>
VID Acting Deputy Director, Mr Martin Musengezi who was questioned during the visit by Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport and Infrastructural Development said:
<blockquote>
Yes, we have this scenario where it is alleged that funds were disbursed but there is nothing on the ground.
We have to go back to the office and check with records and check what really transpired.
We only got to know about it because of auditors who came here to show them the projects that they said on paper work are complete.
</blockquote>
It also emerged that ZINARA officials failed to utilise the ZWL$153 million allocated for the construction of a weighbridge at the Forbes border post last year.

In 2021, the Government declared the country’s road network a state of disaster and launched the Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme 2 (ERRP2) targeting highways as well as major roads in towns and cities.
However, concerns have been raised over the shoddy workmanship on some of the rehabilitated roads that have already developed potholes.
Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Transport chairperson Oscar Gorerino praised Manyaya on Thursday after a two-day tour of various road projects and tollgates in the country. Gorerino said:
<blockquote>
ZINARA must continue with this new trajectory of rebranding, and ensure there is transparency in their handling of funds.
Millions were lost due to these activities and the previous boards and management were looting.
We are aware of the potential of the board chair (Manyaya) and we hope he will continue exhibiting the corporate governance principles and excellence he has done in other corporations he has been involved with.
</blockquote>
The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development, Theodius Chinyanga, also showered ZINARA with praises. He said:
<blockquote>
We acknowledge the sterling efforts that ZINARA made last year when they disbursed $9.5billion to road authorities.
I am glad that ZINARA has raised the bar higher and set a target of $17 billion for disbursement (for 2022).
</blockquote>
The Government has said that contractors awarded tenders under the ongoing Emergency Road Repair Programme (Phase 2) who fail to perform as expected will not be given new contracts in future.

Parliament Praises ZINARA Board

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA) will disburse $17 billion for roadworks programmes for over 2 000 urban and rural roads.
More than 10 000km are expected to undergo reconstruction under the ongoing Emergency Road Rehabilitation Programme 2 (ERRP2) this year.
The roadworks programme will be undertaken primarily by the Department of Roads (DoR), local authorities and the District Development Fund (DDF).
Transport and Infrastructural Development secretary Engineer Theodius Chinyanga said:
<blockquote>
Initially, we wanted $30 billion, however, due to budget constraints, we had to cut the budget by almost half.
However, we will prioritise our major roads and continue from where we left last year.
We will mainly cover pothole patching in urban areas as well as resurfacing of areas that have been excessively damaged over the years.
</blockquote>
In Harare Metropolitan province, 45 roads have been identified for immediate attention while in Bulawayo Province, 40 roads will be rehabilitated and new others will be constructed in Cowdray Park’s Hlalani Kuhle area projects.
Other provinces will also receive their allocations for roadworks under the ERRP, which started last year and is expected to run for 36 months.
