GOVERNMENT has introduced deterrent fines to push out touts from the central business districts where they have become a menace.
Information permanent secretary Ndavaningi Mangwana said the fines range from $4 000 to $10 000.
“The operation to remove mushika-shika is ongoing. A deterrent fine which ranges from $4 000 to $10 000 is being charged for touting,” Mangwana tweeted.
“Touting? Not worth it,” he added.
Touts have become a danger in the city centre, where they harass commuters while also engaging in other illegal activities such as public drinking.
