THE ZIMBABWE CONGRESS OF TRADE UNIONS (ZTU) SAYS A GOVERNMENT PROPOSAL TO INTRODUCE TOLL GATES IN URBAN CENTERS IS A BAD IDEA THAT WILL INCREASE THE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON WORKERS WHO ARE ALREADY STRUGGLING TO MAKE ENDS MEET. LAST WEEK TRANSPORT MINISTER OBERT MPOFU SUGGESTED PLACING TOLL GATES IN CITIES AS A WAY TO INCREASE REVENUE. BUT ZTU SECRETARY GENERAL JEFFERY MOYO SAYS THE IDEA WILL LEAD TO A RISE IN COMMUTER FARES.
