*Passport Fees Remain The Same, Production Resumes - RG* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?tc The government has dismissed social media reports that passport fees have been hiked. Reports last week indicated that an emergency passport now costs as much as $800. In an interview with The Herald on Sunday this week, Registrar-General Clement Masango said: ---------- Pindula is best experienced with the Android App. *Download APK here:* https://zero.pindula.co.zw/media/apps/apks/pindula23.apk _On Econet, Pindula does NOT use your data_ ---------- > There have been reports on social media alleging that passport fees will be hiked. > That is not true. I am concerned as the Registrar- General that some people seem to thrive on creating controversy meant to instil alarm and despondency in society. > This kind of behaviour must be condemned in the strongest terms. To members of the public, I would want to say it is not Government practice to communicate official matters through social media. > There are no plans to revise passport fees upwards as alleged by social media. Masango confirmed that the production of passports was halted last week owing to a technical fault. He said: > The stoppage was as a result of system malfunction. It was rectified and by Friday afternoon production had resumed. There is, therefore, no need for members of the public to panic. > The situation is under control and production of passports has since resumed after that temporary setback. > As a department, we want to apologise to our stakeholders for the inconvenience that they went through as a result of that stoppage. *Related:* *Govt Scraps Issuance Of 1-day Emergency Passports As Paper & Ink Runs Out – Report* *Passport Office Under Investigation By Human Rights Commission* *Passport Backlog Now Stands At Close To 200 000* *Passport Offices To Be Opened In Chitungwiza And Murehwa* *Registrar General’s Office Has 166 500 Passports Backlog Due To Forex Shortages* *More: The Herald* itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
