Move expected to reduce passport costs

The Registrar-General’s Office has bought a state-of-the-art printing press that produces electronic and ordinary passports, a development that will see prices significantly go down, Deputy Home Affairs Minister Ziyambi Ziyambi has said.

The department is currently sub letting printing of passports at Fidelity Printers.

Speaking on the sidelines of a party that President Mugabe hosted at State House to celebrate Zanu-PF victory in the July 31 harmonised elections, Deputy Min-ister Ziyambi said acquiring a printing press was one of the major successes of the Zanu-PF Government since the polls.

“Very soon we will be producing our own

booklet in terms of passport production. We now have our own production cen-tre for passports. We got one of the best printers in the world. Very soon it should be commissioned by His Excellency (President Mugabe).

“We have been using Fidelity Printers which is the reason we have been having shortages and the price was also high. But we hope that we will now clear all the backlog because we will be doing it our-selves and the prices should also come

down.” Currently, applying for an exec-utive passport (one day) costs $315, an urgent one (three working days) goes for $250 with an ordinary passport going for $50.

Temporary Travel Document costs $35, passport application forms go for $3 as well as Temporary Travel Document Forms.

An electronic passport is a booklet with an electronic chip that enables immigra-tion officials to authenticate a traveller’s identity digitally.

Deputy Minister Ziyambi recently said the new system would make it unnec-essary for passport applicants to bring photos as they would be taken when one gets to the office and then transmitted to the production centre. There has been a general outcry throughout the country that passport prices were still too high

compared to others in the region despite reduction of prices to $50 for ordinary passports from $140.

However, the department contends that its prices were reasonable considering the costs involved.

The RG’s Office has of late been efficient in processing passport applications with applicants getting them on time.

Registrar-General Tobaiwa Mudede recently told the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Women’s Affairs, Gender and Community Development that his department would work hard to manage queues at the passport offices.

He said the challenge was unlikely to come to an end as long as the economy was not performing as citizens would continue searching for greener pastures.

Government needs to relook a combi-nation of entry incentives that include liberalisation of air access and landing cost structures to encourage more air-lines to come into Zimbabwe, an official has said.

This comes as Royal Dutch Airline KLM on Wednesday announced that it would discontinue direct flights from Amster-dam to Harare in October, dealing a major blow to the country’s tourism industry.

High landing fees have been cited as the major reason for the airline’s pull-out from the country.

In a written response to questions sent by BH24, Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi said the decision by KLM calls

for Government to interrogate the way they want to earn income and make sure it does not create entry barriers.

“They (KLM) explained it was purely a business decision. High operating cost model and low demand especially inbound. (But the) decision does not inspire other airlines to look at us as we unroll and implement our open sky policy in line with new tourism policy,” he said.

“But it calls for Government to inter-rogate where exactly it wants to earn income in the value chain in a manner that does not constitute entry barriers. A combination of entry incentives that include visa and air access liberalisation should unlock value,” he added. KLM resumed flights to Zimbabwe in 2012 after 13 years of absence but said high fees would be a major determinant on

whether or not to increase direct flights to Zimbabwe.

Minister Mzembi said Zimbabwe needs to stimulate demand so that more air-lines can come into Zimbabwe.

He added that the reintroduction Kari-

ba-Victoria Falls route by Air Zimbabwe was a welcome internal distribution move.

“The tourism sector is going to benefit through efficient cost effective internal distribution of international arrivals who do not want idle time travelling long distance. “Too much idle time on this route especially for business tourism, clearing agents and legislators from this part of the world. What we need to stimulate demand are budget airlines and corresponding fees,” he said.

He said the national airliner should also consider resuscitating the Harare-Mas-vingo-Buffalo Range route and as well as extending to Beitbridge. .•

The European Union (EU) has part-nered with ZimTrade to give the coun-try's small and medium enterprises (SMES) more access to the European market through the launch of the Zim-babwe-EU Business Information Cen-tre (Zim-EBIC).

The facility aims at increasing the capacity of Zimbabwe business oper-ators to establish mutually beneficial linkages with European counterparts along with public and private sector agencies of the EU member states and

of Zimbabwe. Speaking at the launch EU ambassador to Zimbabwe Aldo Dell'Ariccia said the business centre is the last stage of 2012 interim Eco-nomic Partnership Agreement with Zimbabwe.

"This is the last flower of a bouquet of actions that we have been implement-ing together with ZimTrade, the private sector and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to make sure that indeed the economic partnership agreement that started in 2012 can indeed bear all its fruits," he said. He said job creation is fundamental within Zimbabwe and it

is imperative to create job opportuni-ties wherever possible.

"We hope that the main beneficiaries of this centre will be small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which are the backbone of the re-activation of the economy of the country and those will produce more employment," he said.

He added that the centre will bring foreign and local investors together through information sharing. Dell'Aric-cia reiterated that Zimbabwe needs to create transparency in policies to increase foreign direct investment

inflows.

"We know that you are working on that but the clock is ticking and I think that it is very important that the Govern-ment gives clear messages in terms of legislation, to make sure that the envi-ronment will be conducive to recipro-cate action for the arrival of European investment in this country because it is absolutely needed," he said.

The Executive Director of the Inter-national Trade Centre (ITC) Arancha González said her organisation will as well help the country's trade through its technical cooperation programmes.

"ITC will build the capacity of Zimba-bwean trade support institutions such as ZimTrade to access information and create opportunities that would be of use to traders in Zimbabwe," she said

She concluded by saying the 'cotton to clothing' industry initiative is now in its final design stages.

"The design stage will be concluded with the launch of this home-grown strategy in September at the Bulawayo Clothing Indaba event," she said. •

Industry and Commerce Minister Mike Bimha says Zimbabwe needs more investments in agribusiness to increase agricultural exports and generate more income for the country.

Minister Bimha was commissioning a US$250 000 avocado packing shed at Enhoeks Estate in Chipinge, which will pack the fruit for export market and has created 500 jobs in the area.

He said such projects had a positive impact in turning around the economy.

“When you get a company investing in a project worth US$250 000, it is a sign of confidence in the country. This investment will go a long way in pro-moting utilisation of available local raw materials in revenue generation.

“This is what we would want to see a lot of our farmers doing if they can get funding so that they are able to invest in projects that promote exports because it is through exports that we generate foreign currency,” he said.

He said farmers in Chipinge have con-tributed so much in terms of diversifi-cation of agricultural activities which

have helped boost the country’s econ-omy.

Enhoek’s Estate has 125 hactares under plantation of which, 65 hactares has been dedicated to planting avo-cado while the rest is under gum and macadamia.

“I am glad that this company has a international certification in terms of export quality and that alone filters through the out growers because in turn they will expect them to be able to produce whatever they are producing at certain quality and in turn the com-munity being able to meet international standards,” he said

The Estate owner Stale Enhoek said the project was a success in boosting the livelihoods of the people in the com-

munity. “It is through the investment of these plantations crops that we will be able to create more employment that will not ultimately benefit the local

community but the district as well. We hope to increase the employment from 450 workers to 600 workers in the next two years,” he said. •

Wheat farmers should be on the look-out for quelea birds as they frequently invade Zimbabwe during

winter every year, an expert said on Friday. Quelea birds destroy sorghum, wheat, barley, oats and millet during

winter every year.

The Red-billed Quelea (quelea bird) is the world's most abundant wild bird species. Although quelea birds prefer the seeds of wild grasses to those of

cultivated crops, their large numbers make them a constant threat to fields of sorghum, wheat, barley, millet and rice. Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers Union president Wonder Chabikwa said wheat farmers should take precautions

against quelea birds to reduce destruc-tion of crops. “The most common way of controlling the pest is by large-scale spraying of areas, usually with a chemical called Fenthion (also known as quelea-tox) where they breed or roost,” he said.

Traditionally quelea birds were con-trolled through scaring with people going into the fields when their grain crop was vulnerable and use anything from catapults to banging tins as well as making noise.

“It is quite effective in the majority of cases,” said Chabikwa. Quelea birds move in millions and can destroy crops in a short space of time.

Chabikwa said the red-headed birds were rare and came out mostly when there had been high rainfall and there-fore abundant food.

Last year the country did not have a challenge since most crops failed due to drought. Chabikwa urged the gov-ernment to dedicate a plane that would move around wheat farms spraying the quelea tox. The average quelea bird eats around 10 grams of grain per day, roughly half its body weight. ― New Ziana •

The suspension of direct flights from Amsterdam to Harare by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is a blow to Zimbabwe’s tourism industry.

Over the past years, arrivals from Europe and America have been increasing our receipts and we have been enjoying the return of some major airlines to our airspace.

We have had airlines such as Egypt Air, Ethiopian Airways and others return-ing to Zimbabwe and recently Fastjet also announced its plan to come into Zimbabwe with its low-cost flights.

Air Zimbabwe has also been revived with the resumption of regional routes as well as local routes like the Hara-re-Kariba-Victoria Falls

As much as this is good for the coun-try, the Civil Aviation Authority of Zim-babwe might have overlooked a few things. The cost structures for these airlines to operate in Zimbabwe is one.

They are in business and want to make a profit, that’s a fact. So we should create an environment that enables them to make that profit as

we also make our profit. Trips to Zim-babwe and Africa in general, become more expensive than anywhere else in the world because of high landing and service fees.

And airlines transfer the cost to the customer so that they remain in busi-ness.

Low demand is one of the biggest factors. Africa has 12 percent of the world’s population, but only 1 percent of the world’s air traffic. The demand is therefore lower in terms of passen-ger numbers, which for airlines is not a good thing. Despite our attractive tourist destinations, demand remains lower than expected and this drives up

prices a lot. One of the reasons cited by KLM.

Our infrastructure is also not so good, with a dysfunctional railroad net-work and poor road network, flying becomes the only choice for long dis-tance travellers. However, getting the fuel and parts for the aircraft is often very difficult and very expensive. This drives up operating costs for airlines.

So if Zimbabwe does not try to under-stand these issues, then we will have more airlines that are not realising profit from this route pull out.

For KLM, it was a purely business deci-sion, the route was just not viable. But

for us, this is a blow because we rely on these arrivals for our tourism rev-enues.

So we should not cry but start looking at our structures and see how they can be altered to make doing busi-ness, even airline business, more via-ble in Zimbabwe.

Why has Government not done any-thing? Are we waiting for more airlines to pull out of the country to realise that it does not auger well for business.

Government should as a matter of urgency relook some of these cost structures.

That way, we will keep the airlines already coming in and get more play-ers to come in.

As Tourism Minister Walter Mzembi said: “It calls for Government to inter-rogate where exactly it wants to earn income in the value chain in a manner that does not constitute entry barriers. A combination of entry incentives that include visa and air access liberalisa-tion should unlock value.” •

Standard Chartered is more than dou-bling its commitment to ‘Power Africa’ by increasing its pledge from $2 billion to $5 billion, after reaching its initial commitment in 12 months, the firm said in a statement.

On President Obama’s launch of Power Africa in July 2013, Standard Char-tered initially committed $2 billion. With its extended commitment, the bank remains the largest private sec-tor contributor within the Power Africa partnership.

The governments of Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Liberia, and a group of private-sector firms are taking part in the initiative to improve access to clean, reliable power in Africa, and ultimately deliver electricity to more than 20 million new households and companies by 2018.

Peter Sands, group chief executive, Standard Chartered, said: “Over our 150 years of history in Africa, we have always strive to contribute to social and economic development, financing trade and investment across the con-tinent. A lack of access to electricity is

one of Africa’s most critical infrastruc-ture challenges. With our extended commitment to the “Power Africa” ini-tiative we expect to add around 7,500 megawatts to Africa’s power grid – equivalent to the electricity production capacity of Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire.”

Projects that Standard Chartered has been involved with under its Power Africa commitment include:

Azura-Edo Power Project in Nige-ria: This privately-owned and funded green-field independent power plant (IPP) is setting an industry standard in legal and regulatory frameworks for other developing power plants to fol-low, progressing the Nigerian govern-ment’s power sector reform.

The Azura-Edo plant will harness the country’s domestic gas resources to generate 450MW of power as the first non-captive IPP in Nigeria in more than 10 years. Standard Chartered is the global co-ordinating mandated lead arranger and structuring bank. Total invested capital in the power plant and gas supply will exceed $1 billion.

Okija Power Project in Nigeria: This pri-vately-owned and funded green-field IPP will be the second (after Azura-Edo) to seek long term debt financing on a limited recourse basis.

This plant of 495MW installed capacity will also utilise domestic natural gas to generate electricity in south-east-ern Nigeria. Standard Chartered is the Mandated Lead Arranger and Structur-ing Bank.

Zambian Energy Corporation: Stand-ard Chartered’s Private Equity Africa division invested $57million into Zam-bian Energy Corporation, which will flow into its regional operation, CEC Africa (CECA).

CECA has acquired a power plant and distributor within Nigeria’s privatisation plans (600MW Shiroro Hydro Plant in Niger State and Abuja Electricity Dis-tribution Company). This will support CECA’s power infrastructure expansion strategy in Nigeria and other sub-Saha-ran Africa countries.

On launching Power Africa in July 2013, the White House said: “More than two-

thirds of the population of sub-Saharan Africa is without electricity, and more than 85 percent of those living in rural areas lack access.

These countries have set ambitious goals in electric power generation and are making the utility and energy sec-tor reforms to pave the way for invest-ment and growth.”

Over the last two decades, academic research has shown that the under-per-formance of Africa’s power infrastruc-ture has restricted economic growth, reducing per capita GDP growth by 0.11 percent per year for the continent as a whole, and as much as 0.2 per-cent in Southern Africa, where mining and manufacturing – the big industrial users of electricity – have traditionally been more important.

In Nigeria, current power output is approximately 4,000 megawatts, but the country’s demand is sitting at 10,000MW. It is estimated that if Nige-ria could close this infrastructure gap, it would raise economic growth by 3 per-centage points, equating to just over $15 billion annually.-Business Day •

Gold headed for a third weekly loss in the longest run of declines since Sep-tember as US employment data may add to signs that the world’s largest economy is gaining traction.

Gold for immediate delivery fell as much as 0.3 percent to $1,279.30 an ounce, the lowest level since June 19, and was at $1,283.85 at 2:20 p.m. in Singapore, according to Bloomberg generic pricing. The metal declined 3.4 percent in July to post the biggest

monthly loss this year as the Bloomb-erg Dollar Spot Index completed the largest advance since May 2013.

Gold slumped 28 percent last year on speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce monthly bond pur-chases, which were cut this week for a sixth time.

Data today may show U.S. employers added more than 200,000 jobs for a sixth month after a report yesterday

showed claims of unemployment ben-efits in the past month sank to an eight-year low. Bullion failed to rally this week even as weaker corporate results sent global equities tumbling amid Argenti-na’s debt default.

“Gold prices continued to pull back as stronger-than-expected reports on the U.S. economy damped demand for safety plays,” said Sarah xie, a Hong Kong-based analyst at Wing Fung Financial Group Ltd. “Investors are

reluctant to take big positions ahead of the U.S. jobs data.”

Gold for December delivery climbed 0.2 percent to $1,284.90 an ounce on the Comex in New york.

Southern Africa has made steady pro-gress towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015.

However, a lot more needs to be done to sustain this momentum well beyond the MDG timeline to ensure that the general socio-economic conditions con-tinue to improve.

A total of eight goals, ranging from education, health, poverty and the environment were approved by the global community in the year 2000 with desirable targets and measurable indicators.

The targets aim to improve socio-eco-nomic development in the world, par-ticularly in developing countries.

“Africa’s substantial progress toward many goals, targets and indicators is beyond doubt,” according to the 2013 MDG Report.

The SADC region leads in areas such as gender development and health.

For example, of the 11 best-performing countries in achieving Goal 3 on pro-moting gender equality and empow-

ering women, six are from southern Africa. These are Angola, Botswana, Mauritius, Mozambique, Seychelles

and South Africa.

According to the SADC Gender Moni-

tor 2013, all of these countries except Botswana have achieved more than 30 percent gender representation in par-

liament.

Gender equality is firmly rooted in

SADC’s regional integration agenda and Member States support the fun-damental principle that both women and men must be equally engaged in decision-making at all levels and in all positions of leadership.

This is reflected in the SADC Protocol on Gender and Development that calls for 50:50 by 2015, and in the constitu-tions of most SADC countries that pro-vide legal frameworks against gender discrimination.

With regard to Goal 6 on combating HIV and AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria, and other diseases, five of the 15 best performing countries are from the SADC region.

The five are Botswana, Namibia, Mauri-tius, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Performance towards achieving other goals has been mixed due to vari-ous challenges that have affected the implementation process of the MDGs.

Thus it remains necessary to define concrete measures to accelerate the implementation of some of the tar-geted goals. ― Sadc Today •
