ZBC Head Defends Proposal For Car Radio Licences Before Vehicle Registration

ZBC Head Defends Proposal For Car Radio Licences Before Vehicle Registration

Wisdom Samanyai, the head of licensing at Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), said there was nothing wrong with the proposed changes to the Broadcasting Services Act, reported The Herald.

These changes would require motorists to buy car radio licences before they can purchase vehicle insurance and registration. 

He explained that the amendments aim to strengthen the enforcement of the law.

Samanyai said this in a presentation at a joint meeting of the Parliamentary Portfolio Committees on Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, and Transport and Infrastructural Development on Monday, February 3.

The meeting was held to discuss the changes to Clause 15 of the Broadcasting Services Amendment Bill, which is currently being debated in the National Assembly.

The new rule would require motorists to buy car radio licences before they can obtain vehicle insurance and registration.

The money will be collected by the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA). Said Samanyai:

So, we have a good number that would avoid and say they are removing the radio altogether. I don’t want to be found wanting, but there are also those who just choose to say we are evading, probably consciously or subconsciously.

They will just decide they are not going to comply with this very same Act, which then pushed us to then find a way. First and foremost, we wanted to help our agencies to enforce this legal requirement.

Hence, we had to be explicit in as far as this Bill is concerned, to say nobody is allowed to either go on to purchase their insurance or road licence before first complying with the Broadcasting Services Act requirement, which is making sure that your radio licence is paid for.

ZINARA CEO Nkosinathi Ncube said that his organisation is prepared to implement the law once it is enacted. He said:

We need to underline that we support Government decisions, parliamentary decisions, and the progress that it brings to the nation. So, we’re always there to support.

And as Government agents, we make sure that we fully implement that which the Government will then put through and which is good for the country.

Ncube emphasized the need to ensure that, once passed, the new requirement would not interfere with ZINARA’s mandate to collect funds for road construction and maintenance.

He also revealed that 70 per cent of vehicles on the country’s roads, or just over 800,000 cars, are compliant with license and insurance payments.

So they basically want to remove the choice for you to choose whether you should pay for a radio licence or not. How is this fair again? Or is it just another attempt to siphon people's money for a service they do not even use?

Right the thing is the guys running these entities just don't care about anything because they are not in our shoes they just push everything down our throats! Who listens to our backward radio and TV statio s that are 100 years behind and have very myopic news,other than that 90 percent of people don't listen to the radio we listen to our painful broke heart bits as there is nothing I get from listening to the radio it doesn't pay the bills.If there is a state entity that needs to be offloaded either by selling it off its the ZBC! If Noone buys this white elephant then shut it down and stop burdening us with this dead entity.This is very painful The head of Zinara is unashamedly even defending and supporting this ruthless idea to rip us off! The highest a radio license can be is USD 10 per annum not the figure you are gloating about without shame,guys you just don't get it do you? This is a big sign how disconnected the zinara and ZBC management are,if only you were in our shoes you wouldn't even be talking about this or bring up such a worthless subject instead of helping fix our economy you are adding insult to injury hayi suka mani liyabhowa bafowethu

Zbc isn't the only broadcaster. Neither is it the Broadcasting Authority (add to that that its content is the worst). Why then should we pay license fees to it and not to any other broadcaster..?

The issue of vehicle listeners ****nces, and indeed home TV ****nces has been a huge bone of contention to us all for many years. I get extremely het up about this matter. Last year, the ZBC fee was higher than the actual car ****nce fee! How insane is that? I have looked up the fees for 2025 and it seems to be: Private Vehicle annual ****nce fee (2251-3000kg) is USD60 per term = USD180 per annum Private vehicle ZBC ****nce fee USD 92 per annum. Company vehicle ZBC ****nce fee USD 200 per annum. (This is of even more irritation to me - my wife's car is merely owned by a company, it is not a "Company Vehicle" So we have to pay USD 200 - ridiculous.) Here are my ongoing comments on the above: WHY should we pay such massive ****nce fees to ZBC - they do absolutely nothing, they play mostly music and have just about no other programmes of interest. All they achieve is to pay outrageous salaries to senior management and buy the usual highly expensive vehicles for said management (Toyota Landcruisers and Prados for example). We get no benefit from having these ****nses. ZBC to not share the ****ncing fee with the other radio stations (Star FM, ZiFM, Capitalk etc) Moving on to TV ****nces - most people (myself included) don't have any way to watch ZBC at all - and why would we want to as their programming is useless if not non-existent. Let's now move on to numbers - using the quoted figures in the article above - 70% of vehicles (800,000) on the road are compliant. So extrapolate this: 800,000 is 70% so 100% is circa 1,150,000 vehicles. Just use the "Private" motor vehicle rate of USD 92 per annum - that comes to USD 105,800,000 - yes, over 105 million US Dollars. Lots of cars and salaries there and NO programming! It makes me spit and, as always, as Zimbabweans, we just shrug our shoulders and say " oh well. another tax" - adding to the 90 odd taxes and fees we are already exposed to here (as per many discussions on social media). Oh, and the exemption for TV ****nces if you are over 70 years old apparently does NOT apply to vehicle radio ****nces... Time for us to STOP putting up with being ripped off by the unbelievable number of local "authorities" we are exposed to in this land.

Hear, hear. A very good analysis of this outrageous rip off, by another useless state entity. I would venture to say that, even the Zbc people, don't watch or listen to the drivel they put out everyday? I ripped out my car radio. 15 years ago, last saw a Zbc tv show 25+ years ago.

All the government needs to do is to revive the economy, have industries paying corporate tax and individuals working formally so as to pay income taxes too. This thing of trying to collect revenue from gamblers and forcing people to have licences coven without radios will not take the country out of the doldrums it is in.

I have 7 cars, none have radios and most are 6 volt, so cannot have radios anyway,, so why must I buy car radio licenses for each car. These guys are ****s. I will not buy car licenses and if I can't license the cars so be it. It's time people said enuf. Say no to car licenses all together and if zbc closes, so be it. I know a guy with nearly 200 cars, most are exempted, now they don't want you exemption them, you have to license them and not only pay zbc on each one but also the rip off car license fees and RTA insurance, which no one can claim from, all this to drive on our stuffed roads. It's time that zinara and zbc got booted

Repeat programs, ancient redundant films, nuaseating jingles, talk shows and interviews. The list is endless. That contraption can be seamlessly run by one person from the discomfort of a single room armed with an equally ancient laptop and a memory card chete.

South Africa has more than 150 radio stations, cape town has 30 alone. That is worth a licence.. All stations in Zimbabwe are forced to play more than 50% local music and are constantly scrutinised by 'law enforcement'. Everyone should boycott.

It's time our leaders stopped pushing laws down our throats and started listening to the concerns of the citizens. -This liscencing fee is way overpriced - Most are opposed to its implementation - Most believe ZBC officials are way overpaid and should face a reality check, stop making that a citizens problem. - Digitalize ZBC so that only those who desire to tune in pay for it, if not then it's not necessary

ZBC haidiwe, don't force people on something they don't like, its not good for the people. Maybe can try that on ZANU PF membership subscription cards that they first pay for the ZBC license, since zbc has become zanu pf mouthpiece.

People must be free to choose what media to watch and pay for. ZBC has nothing to offer except monotonous Zanu Pf propaganda and the dynasty. Nobody would worry about propaganda if there was entertainment. It's illegal to force people. We scramble for DStv and there is no command subscription.
