# Zimbabwe’s President Emmerson Mnangagwa has signed a law requiring all motorists to pay over one-thousand-600-rand for an annual radio licence fee before obtaining vehicle insurance. Mnangagwa says the move aims to boost revenue for the struggling state broadcaster, Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation. However, critics, including opposition leader Nelson Chamisa, have slammed the fee as harsh and anti-citizen, citing economic hardships. The law prohibits insurance sales to motorists without a valid licence or exemption, sparking widespread public backlash.
