The Chirundu One-Stop border post between Zimbabwe and Zambia now operates 24 hours a day as it also responds to the surge in volumes of feeder traffic from Beitbridge and Forbes border posts.
The border, which had been opening between 6 AM and 10 PM, is the second border post after Beitbridge to offer a 24-hour service.
The extension of hours of opening of the Chirundu One-Stop border post was announced by Home Affairs and Cultural Heritage Minister Kazembe Kazembe in a Statutory Instrument gazetted on Friday, 13 October 2023.
An economic analyst, Langton Mabhanga of the Africa True North Strategy Institute, told <a href="https://www.herald.co.zw/chirundu-border-now-open-24-hours/">The Herald</a> that the extension of opening hours at the Chirundu border post shows that “Zimbabwe has become the nerve centre for ease of passage, linking maritime ports of entry for Eastern and Southern Africa, and general trade”. He added:
<blockquote>
These are the early signs of how Zimbabwe will be a key centre piece in the execution of the emerging Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement.
</blockquote>
A member of the Shipping Agencies Association, who preferred anonymity welcomed the extension, saying it will decongest points of entry.

Chirundu Border Post Now Open 24 hours

The <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Zimbabwe_Revenue_Authority/">Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (ZIMRA)</a> has said it is taking steps to automate its systems in order to reduce income leaks and corruption. Tax evasion, commercial misinvoicing, and corruption at border posts have led to substantial revenue losses for the taxman.
Manual processes create opportunities for corruption hence the move towards automation, the <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/thestandard/business/article/200017389/zimra-moves-to-plague-revenue-leakages">Standard</a> reported citing ZIMRA Commissioner <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Regina_Chinamasa/">Regina Chinamasa</a>. Speaking during the annual conference of the Chartered Governance and Accountancy Institute in Zimbabwe on Thursday, Chinamasa said:
<blockquote>
We want to ensure that as an organisation we are fully accountable because with manual processes, we are creating opportunities for corruption. So, automation of systems is one of the drivers we are implementing to ensure we optimise revenue collection, our organisation is strengthened and ensure facilitation of trade.
We are putting in place technological initiative intervention to mitigate revenue leakages and we are also looking at the single window which is going to ensure all border stakeholders pay and log in.
This is to enable faster clearance of border processes. We are going to be launching drone projects where we will be doing surveillance at our borders which have been deemed porous and we agree they are porous. This will enhance revenue mobilisation and protection of our civil society.
</blockquote>
She added that ZIMRA is preparing to launch a tax revenue management system next month to enhance the strength of its taxation system. The new system will have the ability to interface and integrate with other institutions to streamline data collection and reduce redundancy. Chinamasa believes that this system will be a game changer, benefiting tax consultants and public officers while improving the ease of doing business. Strengthening the institution is seen as crucial for achieving the government’s Vision 2030 and aligning with the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1).
Chinamasa added that ZIMRA is actively seeking feedback from stakeholders to improve client satisfaction and address the concerns faced by taxpayers and accountants. The focus is on providing low-cost services, transparency, and administrative tools that facilitate compliance with fiscal laws.

ZIMRA Taking Steps To Automate Systems And Reduce Leaks - Chinamasa

Zimbabwean-born South African businessman Sikhumbuzo Manduna has shared the challenges he faced while traveling from Zimbabwe to Zambia.
Manduna, who was driving his Ford Ranger, had obtained all the necessary documents to travel through South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, and Zambia. However, when he reached the border at Chirundu, he faced extensive questioning from a border official who suspected the car might be stolen. After a three-hour wait, the official called the police from Lusaka, who arrived and arrested Manduna.
He said despite providing all the required paperwork, including proof of purchase through Capitec Bank, insurance records, and company details, the police refused to release him. Interpol was even involved, confirming that the car was not stolen. Manduna was detained for a total of seven days, during which he believed that the police were seeking a bribe. Despite his attempts to cooperate and provide all necessary evidence, the release of his car was delayed.
Manduna said he embarked on a business trip from Johannesburg to Zimbabwe and then to Zambia, driving his Ford Ranger purchased through Capitec Bank. He had all the necessary documents and permission to travel across multiple countries. However, at the Chirundu border, the border official subjected him to extensive questioning about the car’s ownership and potential theft. After a three-hour wait, Manduna was called into the office only to face another ordeal—finding out that the official had called the police from Lusaka during that time to detain him. He narrated:
<blockquote>
As we were arguing on the issue after I had presented my passport, car documents, bank papers, insurance records and company details since the vehicle was registered under my company, police arrived in style with blue lights in a Madza BT50; five police officers, three armed with AK-47 assault rifles. The customs officer pointed at me and said that is the guy claiming to be the car owner. I was shocked by what subsequently followed. Police pounced on me and said I was under arrest. I demanded that on top of the papers I had presented, I should be allowed to call my insurance firm and the agent I deal with, which I did. The insurance explained that the car was legitimately bought through Capitec and they had all the papers, which they were ready to send to the border officials if needs be. All that was rejected.
Police then told me they were now taking me to Lusaka to deal with the matter because they suspected the car was stolen even when all documents showed that assumption was false. They drove me in their car as they refused me to even sit in my own car. When we got to Lusaka Central Police Station, I was told the boss named Chomba wanted to see me but it could only be the following day which meant I had to be detained in cells, which they did. I was removed from the cells the following day to see the said boss around 9:30am.
Upon his arrival, he was confrontational; he seized my car keys and the car itself, demanding that I should prove the vehicle was mine. I was told the arresting officer was Detective Constable Mthengwa. So we had to restart the process of providing documents all over again. I gave them all the documents, called my insurance firm and showed them emails between the bank and myself, proving that the car was bought through the bank which had to approve my driving of the vehicle outside South Africa into Zimbabwe, then Zambia.
Interpol was also brought into the fray. On Monday, 28 August, Captain Pieter De Villiers sent an email to Lusaka Central Police Station saying the car was not stolen. Remember I had been in detention for five days at that point without a charge. Arbitrary detention. Just imagine the pressure and anger.
</blockquote>
De Villiers urgently informed the Lusaka police that Manduna had been arrested for allegedly possessing a stolen car. He provided the details of the Ford Ranger and confirmed that it was not reported as stolen in South Africa. De Villiers requested the Zambian police to help Manduna retrieve his car, stating that it was owned by Capitec, and the bank had approved its use outside South Africa during the specified dates.
The car involved in the incident is registered under Manduna’s company, Andiswa Phakade (Pty) Ltd, with an address in Johannesburg. Despite providing all necessary documents, including support from his insurance company and Interpol, Zambian police detained Manduna for seven days. Manduna believed that the police were demanding a bribe, as their behavior suggested. He provided extensive documentation, such as his passport, ID, driver’s license, vehicle registration papers, and a letter of authority from the bank. Despite all evidence proving the legitimacy of the car, the police continued to detain him.

Zimbabwean-born South African businessman Narrates His Difficult Journey To Zambia

The <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Zimbabwe Revenue</a> Authority (ZIMRA) has issued a notice stating that cross-border passenger-ferrying buses and imported vehicles from the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Far East</a> transiting through Zambia from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania will no longer be allowed to use the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Kariba Border Post</a> as a port of entry. In a statement seen by Pindula News, ZIMRA said the movements will now be required to use Chirundu One-Stop Border Post as the alternative until further notice.
This decision has been made due to high traffic congestion being experienced at Kariba Border Post, which has stretched its current infrastructure beyond its capacity to handle cross-border traffic. The current <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">high traffic volumes</a> have also adversely affected ongoing government projects towards the refurbishment of the <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">Kariba Dam</a> wall structures and the hydro-power plant, both of which are critical <a class="MarkdownLink_linkifiedLink__KxC9G">national resources</a> given their strategic economic importance. Reads the notice:
<blockquote>
<h3>RE-DIRECTING OF CROSS BORDER PASSENGER FERRYING BUSES AND THE IMPORTATION OF VEHICLES FROM KARIBA BORDER POST TO CHIRUNDU ONE-STOP BORDER POST</h3>
The Commissioner of Customs &amp; Excise wishes to advise all valued stakeholders, cross-border passenger bus operators, importers of vehicles and their clearing agents as well as all cross-border travellers through Kariba, that the Authority has suspended, until further notice, the use of Kariba Border Post as a port of entry for cross border passenger ferrying buses and vehicles imported from the Far East transiting through Zambia from the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. These movements will now be required to use Chirundu One-Stop Border Post as the alternative. This suspension is with effect from Thursday 20 July 2023 until further notice.
This decision comes in the wake of high traffic congestion being experienced at Kariba Border Post which has stretched the current infrastructure beyond its capacity to handle cross-border traffic. The current high traffic volumes have also adversely affected ongoing Government projects towards refurbishment of the Kariba Dam wall structures and the hydro-power plant, both of which are critical national resources given their strategic economic importance.
In liaison with our counterparts in the Zambia Revenue Authority, suitable intervention measures have been put in place to manage the adjustments of the port of entry (Zimbabwe) and port of exit (Zambia) on any declarations that had already been received and processed through the automated platforms of each Authority. All fresh declarations henceforth should reflect the port of exit and/or port of entry aligned to the changes effected by this notice as the case may be.
Any inconvenience caused is sincerely regretted. All enquiries on the matter should be directed to: karibaprivateimports@zimra.co.zw and customsandexciseregionl©zimra.co.zw
