津巴布韦村民抗议新征收的每人1至5美元税, 认为这不公平, 解释不善, Zimbabwean villagers protest a new $1–5 per-person levy, saying it's unfair, poorly explained, and yields no visible development.

津巴布韦农村村民抗议征收新的人均发展税,要求每个人(包括婴儿)每年支付1至5美元,以取代以家庭为基础的制度。 Rural Zimbabwean villagers are protesting a new per-capita development levy requiring each person, including infants, to pay $1 to $5 annually, replacing a household-based system. 居民说,这种改变是未经明确通知而实施的,不公平地给贫困家庭造成负担,是通过恐吓、威胁拒绝提供服务和指称的佣金等手段收集的。 Residents say the change, enforced without clear notice, unfairly burdens poor families and is collected through intimidation, threats of denied services, and alleged commissions. 尽管付款增加,但Chikomba和Bikita等地区没有出现明显发展。 Despite increased payments, no visible development has occurred in areas like Chikomba and Bikita. 虽然当局声称根据2024年的一项指令征税是合法的,但批评者强调法律含糊不清,特别是在未成年人和传统领袖的角色方面。 While authorities claim the levy is lawful under a 2024 directive, critics highlight ambiguity in the law, especially regarding minors and traditional leaders’ roles. 农村区议会协会承认,各区的执行情况不一致,助长了持续的抵制。 The Association of Rural District Councils acknowledges inconsistent implementation across districts, fueling ongoing resistance.
