Zimbabwe Ministry of Transport clarifies vehicle ownership transfer process, faces public backlash over fees

Zimbabwe officials sparked outrage after revealing the true cost of changing car ownership papers. The Transport Ministry posted details on social media that left citizens furious about expensive fees. New number plates cost a shocking $515. Keeping the same plates costs only $15. The massive price difference has prompted drivers to question government priorities.

Citizens exploded with anger across social media platforms. Many people pointed out that teachers earn less than the cost of new plates. South Africa charges just 14 dollars for the same service. Zimbabweans called the pricing completely unfair during tough economic times. The government uses regular Gmail accounts instead of official email addresses.

Car owners must gather several documents before starting the transfer process. The ministry requires VTS clearance and proper insurance papers. People need completed forms stamped by vehicle testing stations. Original registration books must be presented during the process. Lost plates require police reports as proof.

Many drivers complain about months of delays and confusing procedures. Some people are unable to complete transfers after waiting over two months. Citizens demand clear explanations about how officials calculated the 515-dollar fee. The ministry has not responded to questions about cost breakdowns. Government workers continue to use personal email accounts for official business, despite public criticism.
