New trading system set for RGM Airport – NewsDay
The ZESW concept was introduced in 2022 to enhance efficient clearance of legitimate traffic and trade facilitation at the country’s ports of entry.
THE Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) has announced that it will be implementing the Zimbabwe Electronic Single Window (ZESW) system at the Robert Gabrial Mugabe (RGM) International Airport by year-end to reduce bureaucracy.
The ZESW concept was introduced in 2022 to enhance efficient clearance of legitimate traffic and trade facilitation at the country’s ports of entry.
According to Zimra, ZESW aims to improve trade facilitation and to achieve efficiency and effectiveness in pursuing the goals of revenue collection, enforcement of trade laws, social protection and providing business intelligence to government.
“Zimra has announced that it will be implementing its Zimbabwe Electronic Single Window system at RGM International Airport by the end of this year, the system is expected to allow traders to access information online, allow faster clearance of goods, and reduce bureaucracy through paperless processing,” Zimra said in a statement yesterday.
Zimra said since its pilot project run at Forbes Border Post, there had been an improvement in revenue collection.
Additionally, the ZESW trade facilitation system has created a more structured and controlled working environment, enhanced professionalism, reduced corruption, and illegal trade activities.
“Zimra is happy to announce that it will be introducing the Electronic Single Window system at RGM International Airport before the close of this calendar year. The ZESW system will allow individual importers and exporters, companies, clearing agents, and transporters to access the web link https://esw.co.zw/ for information and transacting,” Zimra customs and excise commissioner Batsirai Chadzingwa.
“The trading community can now access information online which will result in faster clearances and a reduction in trading costs. The more predictable and reliable consignment clearance and markedly reduced bureaucracy will save time and ultimately money.”
The official added that ZESW would reduce human intervention from Zimra, and other border agencies thereby improving transparency and reducing corruption.
Explaining the new system and its purpose, on its website, Zimra said Zimbabwe provided the gateway to Africa through the north and south corridors.
Hence, the authority found that an efficient trade facilitation at the country’s ports of entry was key for the region’s rapid economic growth.
“The ZESW initiative is also in sync with global trends on customs reforms and best practices, as well as a National Development Strategy 1 priority on trade facilitation. Currently, the country’s ports of entry are manned by various government departments and agencies that have a critical legislative role in the trade facilitation matrix,” Zimra said.

FlyNamibia adds Zimbabwe route
FlyNamibia has announced it will, from April next year, launch flights between Windhoek and Victoria Falls to operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Victoria Falls International Airport.
The new route is a key element in Zimbabwe’s regional network expansion strategy, FlyNamibia managing director Andre Compion said.
It will also enhance regional connectivity, promote tourism within Namibia and position Windhoek as an alternative gateway to the region.
FlyNamibia’s partnership with Airlink will give it access to the GDS, which will allow it to promote its new flights and packages to markets that were previously beyond reach. The airline is also planning to unveil new routes to Botswana and Angola in the future.
The new flights will effectively more than triple FlyNamibia’s current schedule of regional flights. Compion also revealed that the airline was entering the final phase of preparations for the introduction of flights to Luanda, Angola.
FlyNamibia is a Namibian private airline that mostly plies domestic routes from Eros Airport in Windhoek to Ondangwa, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, Lüderitz, and Oranjemund.
The airline also has a regional route between Hosea Kutako International Airport and Cape Town International Airport. The airline recently became a member of IATA.
This membership will give FlyNamibia access to a number of benefits, including global recognition and acceptance, access to IATA’s global network of airlines and travel agents, and support with marketing and sales.— Business Weekly
