NTB Type
8.7. Costly Road user charges /fees  
Complaint
This complaint is registered by FESARTA.
The Zimbabwean Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure is levying a toll of US$30 per trip, for the crossing of the Victoria Falls bridge. Ref: SI 171 of 2012.
This toll is not justified because it was never discussed with those who are having to pay the toll and there is no reconciliation for the amount of the toll.
Furthermore, transporters pay road user charges, which are to cover the wear and tear caused to the roads and bridges.  
Status note
On 13th September 2016, FESARTA advised that the transporters were no longer facing this barrier so the NTB is resolved.
