Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On 18 October, 2013 the Chinese Government donated three mobile container scanners worth $10.5 million USD to the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority. The Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Lin Lin, gave the scanners to Mr. Chinamasa, the Zimbabwean Minister of Finance, during a ceremony at Manica Freight in Lochinvar, Harare. The scanners will be used to expedite customs clearance and counter smuggling of goods and harmful substances at container docks in Zimbabwe. This project is completed.
