ILLEGAL Covid-19 testing sites are mushrooming in the country as some Zimbabweans intending to travel outside the country seek fake test papers to cross the national borders.
Zimbabwe opened its borders on 1 December after a closure of nearly eight months to curb the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
The closures seriously affected businesses mostly, those involving informal traders many of whom travel to neighbouring countries seeking goods for resell back home.
However, the reopening of the national borders has brought little joy to the traders as they are required to fork out US$60 to get a negative Covid-19 pass that will allow one to travel out of the country.
