“Is this not naked provocation?” – Nelson Chamisa speaks on compulsory ZBC Radio licence
The Broadcasting Services Amendment Act (No. 2 of 2025), recently gazetted following President Mnangagwa’s approval, introduces a controversial provision linking motor insurance to possession of a valid ZBC radio licence.
Under the new law, ZINARA and insurance companies cannot issue motor insurance without proof of a ZBC licence or an exemption.
Below is a comment from former opposition leader Nelson Chamisa.
> A NEW LAW requiring motorists to buy radio licence before renewing their vehicle licences that has been signed into law is too draconian, anti-citizens and outrightly heartless.
> So a person who owns a car pays Zinara,Zbc,Insurance and toll gate, how are people supposed to survive?
> When shall all this end?
> Citizens are being pauperized left ,right and centre, why does the citizenry of this country deserve so uncaring & heartless a leadership? What are people supposed to do with all this cruel taxation?
> Why must I pay for a service I don’t use?
> Why should I pay for partisan propaganda, where i am attacked in person and demonized from dawn to dusk?
> Do we have a parliament in Zimbabwe?
> Which other country does this to her citizens?
> Is this not nak£d provocation?
> Is Zimbabwe not a crime scene?
