"In order to have legal effect, approved fees, levies and charges fees should be published in the Government Gazette.
"In line with the ongoing review, Government Ministries and Departments should submit to Treasury, proposals for review of fees under their purview by 1 September 2019, guided by the principles that I have already outlined.
"Furthermore, fees, levies and charges will be subject to review in line with economic developments."
Chaos hit the Zimbabwe National Road Authority (Zinara) licensing offices in Harare yesterday as panicking motorists stampeded to beat the July 31 licensing deadline.
Motorists, responding to social media reports that Zinara was planning a massive hike in licence fees, besieged the road authority offices. But thousands returned home empty handed after the authority's systems packed up.
At the Harare Main Post Office, the situation was near riotous as desperate motorists refused to leave the banking hall, demanding that they be allowed to pay their licences.
A handful lucky ones managed to license their vehicles.
