Motorists from all over are using this opportunity to comply with the law at a reduced cost. We have deployed extra staff and opened multiple counters to ensure efficient service and minimise waiting time for our valued customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many motorists at the show expressed relief at the chance to clear their pending penalties. One motorist, Tendai Chikwava, said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been delaying renewing my licence because of the high penalty fees. This 50% discount is a huge relief and has encouraged me to become compliant.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The promotion is seen as a major win for senior citizens, who can now licence their vehicles for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more breaking news and updates, follow Zim GBC News on:<br>X (Twitter): @ZimGbc<br>TikTok: @ZimGBCNews_01<br>Facebook: Zim GBC News<br>Instagram: @ZimGBCNews<br>YouTube: Zim GBC News<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zim GBC News : Global News From An African Perspective\u00a92025<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Harare Correspondent HARARE \u2013 The Zimbabwe National Road Administration (Zinara) has become the centre of attraction at the ongoing Zimbabwe Agricultural Show (ZAS), with its stand experiencing a huge influx&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8652,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8651","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8651"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8653,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8651\/revisions\/8653"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8652"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8651"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8651"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/zimgbcnews.co.zw\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8651"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
