Zimra detects drugs worth $1 million

Zimra mobile scanners have detected illegal drug worth over $1 million and recorded 1 911 cases, the revenue collectors has said.

In its 2014 annual report, Zimra said mobile scanners continue to assist the organisation in terms of efficiency, thwarting of criminal activities in the form of smuggling and false declaration among others.

The Chinese government gave Zimbabwe three mobile container scanners worth $10.5 million in October 2013 in a development aimed at improving revenue leakages at the border post.  

Zimra missed target revenue collection by $1.66 million for the first half of 2015 due to shrinking formal economy.
