💨 Abstract

A new law in Zimbabwe, signed by President Emmerson Mnangagwa, requires motorists to pay a $92 annual radio licence fee to renew their vehicle licences or get insurance. This is expected to generate millions for the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), but has sparked criticism. Opponents argue the fees are excessive and unfair, given that the ZBC is seen as a propaganda tool. The law has faced backlash on social media, with users expressing frustration and disbelief.
