Ever wonder why data costs so much in Zimbabwe? By our count, for every dollar a telecoms company makes, about 55 cents ends up with the Government in taxes, levies and fees. The company runs the whole network on what is left, and you pay for it in the price of your bundle.

Now the Government wants to do the same to inDrive and Bolt.

The draft e-hailing rules are sold as safety rules. Read them as a bill:
• A licence fee for the app, proposed at US$500
• An operator's licence and a yearly disc for every car
• A special permit for every driver, renewed every 2 years
• Presumptive tax of US$35 a month per car, and no ZIMRA tax clearance means no trips
• A ZINARA road charge taken off every single trip
• A certificate of fitness, passenger insurance, a tracker, a medical certificate and a defensive driving certificate, all at the driver's or owner's cost

That is before fuel, repairs and the app's own cut.

One estimate says a Harare driver keeps about US$14 a day before tax and insurance. There is very little left to take.

We know how this ends because we have seen it with data. Costs go up, the business passes them on, and the customer pays. Fares will rise. Some drivers will quit. Others will go back to working off the books, which is the very thing these rules are meant to fix.

Ride apps gave young people work when few others would. Cabinet said so itself in September. Taxing that work until it stops paying is not regulation. It is just another tax.

The rules are still a draft. Now is the time to speak up.

@chinenyeway @lulanzeashirafu True, if Mobutu hadnt helped Belgium and US to kill Lumumba, Congo would be a better state than it is currently.

@Sporo0903 Haa Leverkusen yandiuraya, double chance here akomanaa, 12 cents😂😂

[Hamish @HTawaz]

Damn, l'm gutted for Madhevere🤦🏾‍♂️. Really wanted him to record that first century. Anyways, well fought👏🏾👏🏾

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@pasinaDambudzo @bxllyville Yea, we have a lot of talent but selectors keep fishing in one pond. I know India are far ahead of us but just look at how they have 3 almost completely different teams for all formats. Manje isuu we stick neivavoo, the game won't grow.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@Tatendasports @bxllyville At least in Tests, his poor perfomance isnt that costly sometimes😂. Coz ODI and T20 haa vanonyeda havo lasttt

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@ArthurJONZmandi Isnt the 22 better than his averages in T20 or ODI? Its not how low, point is he has a better potential in that format esp based on recent knocks.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

Madhevere strongest format is Test. Not sure about Masakadza tho.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@Donliks_ Yea, not a bad start. Currently 65 for 1.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

As of right now, our strongest format is Test Cricket. Thats the only format l watch Zim games with a calm mindset.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@ArthurJONZmandi He is better with the bat in Tests than any other format. He looks more calm. Most Zim batsmen cant handle pressure, they are more comfortable with the longer format.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@Merovaeous I think its work load management. He needs to rest, will def play the 2nd Test.

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@UnitedStandMUFC And whom should they appoint after sacking him?? Stfu!!

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@mandebvu_ @CrimeWatchZW 😂😂 maghetto yutss hamuzvinzwisisee

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@online_zifa 20 mari?? Chaiyo ? Is it a crowd management strategy or murikutopenga. Cz l aint paying $20 to watch a football game. HUGE PASSSS!

[Hamish @HTawaz]

@pangrey123 Solution is, ' You gotta pay yourself'

[Hamish @HTawaz]

I don't think the problem is Carrick, its entirely on the players. They are the same who finished no.3 last season. The problem is way beyond the manager at this point.
