Also, was told by one very upset lady that no less than 15 Inspectors were dropped off near her house early one morning and demanded she buy a TV licence there and then. She said that if she hadnt been on her own and had a man to stand up for her she would have refused. I myself have been harassed by them every time I go to a supermarket, and they are nothing short of rude and intimidating.
Bearing in mind that ZBC are demanding the unbelievably huge sum of US$30 for a car radio licence and US$50 for a TV licence, and all the programmes are of such substandard content.
It would be perhaps more acceptable if a discount was given for pensioners, or at least charge US$10 for car radio licence. My husband and I are both retired and, like the majority of Zimbabweans, living on the bread line.
