Mutare City Council really likes how ZINARA gives 88% of the money it collects to local authorities across Zimbabwe. ZINARA helps pay for fixing roads all over the country. They sent out 100% of what they promised to every council in all ten provinces. The road group gave exactly what they budgeted to 58 out of 94 road authorities. They handed over ZiG4.7 billion to councils in 2024.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa called the bad roads a national disaster. Since then, everyone has worked hard to fix them. Both the government and councils have recently stepped up their efforts. Mutare Town Clerk Blessing Chafesuka praised ZINARA for sending money quickly. Fast payments helped the council avoid problems when the local currency lost value. Mutare received its complete share of US$8,978,287 from ZINARA.
Chafesuka mentioned they have no problems with the money from ZINARA. Their only issue comes from rules about buying things. Those rules take forever and just don't work well with current money problems. ZINARA collects all road fees at toll booths across Zimbabwe. They lead efforts to pay for fixing major highways like Beit Bridge to Harare and Bulawayo to Harare routes. Chafesuka said giving fuel instead of cash helps keep value better than the ZiG currency.
He added that money sitting in accounts often loses value. ZINARA used to keep everything secret but has changed under Chief Executive Officer Nkosinathi Ncube. They talk openly about how they work and share money with councils around the country. Makonde Rural District Council boss Paradzayi Munyeda said they work well together. ZINARA talks to them professionally in many different ways. The road authority sent money to rebuild streets in Harare, including Dzivarasekwa and Warren Park to Kambuzuma roads.
