The Zimbabwean government announced a comprehensive review of all media-related license fees, including the mandatory Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation car radio license. Information Minister Jenfan Muswere confirmed the planned review, explaining it follows a presidential directive to re-examine levies across multiple sectors to improve the business environment.
This initiative occurs alongside legislative calls to lower the current thirty-dollar car radio license fee. Minister Muswere indicated that consultations with the broadcaster are ongoing to establish a new fee structure, which may include exemptions for senior citizens. Following these discussions, the Ministry of Finance will draft a Statutory Instrument to legally enact the revised fees.
