Zimbabwe’s tourism roadblock
Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) chief Karikoga Kaseke will approach the country’s head of police to discuss the many roadblocks on the country’s major highways, "which now pose a threat to the growth of the tourism industry", Kaseke said.
Kaseke last week said he would formally present complaints from travellers who allege harassment by traffic officers on the country’s highways.
Last year President Mugabe castigated corrupt traffic police officers for soliciting bribes from motorists.
Bulawayo-based economic commentator Eric Bloch last week said the tourism sector had a potential to revive the economy "if we get it right, like ensuring that tourists are not delayed and harassed while travelling".
"We need to have a means of traffic control. For tourists to travel from Beitbridge to Victoria Falls, and be stopped as many as 18 times on these roadblocks, is not good," said Bloch.
