The Zimbabwe Revenue Authority is strengthening the sharing of intelligence with revenue collectors in the SADC to disrupt smuggling networks.

Fuel smuggling leads to significant government revenue losses because it bypasses official channels, evading taxes and levies.

Namibia's National Energy Fund has, in the past five years, lost N$300 million in revenue due to fuel smuggling.

Finance Minister Ericah Shafudah, accompanied by the Namibia Revenue Agency (NamRA)'s Commissioner Sam Shivute, paid a visit to the tax authority's office at Oshikango in the Ohangwena Region.

The visit was aimed at encouraging officials to continue serving the nation diligently.
