Own Correspondent|Government through the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure Development will early next week announce a very steep increase in the price of toll fees.

Highly placed sources within the Ministry hinted that the toll fees are likely to shoot up about five times the current charges.

Light vehicle motorists are currently paying $2, minibuses and buses pay $3 and $4 respectively while heavy haulage trucks are required to pay $10.

Zimbabwe already has 26 tollgates along major highways, situated between 15 to 20km from major cities and towns. Government introduced tollgates in 2009 and has to date collected around $500 million from them.
