Zinara upgrading payment system

The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) is in the process of upgrading its payment system, which may result in queues forming at its tollgates countrywide.

“Zinara sincerely apologises to the public for the inconvenience caused as a result of this exercise”.
