This fee was been accumulated from 5 008 fines.

On the country’s debt, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Chief Mgwagwa Gamedze, said: “We’ll follow it to get to know what the debt is for.”
The minister noted that if the country would have to pay the debt, it would do so.
He emphasised though that his office was not aware of the debt.
