Abalimi akade besemkambo wokuthengisa igwayi batshele iStudio Seven ukuthi badanile ngentengo ekhona ngoba abanye bathengise igwayi ngemali ephansi kwedola elilodwa isilinganiso se kilogram elilodwa lanxa bekhona abathola imali engamadola amane nge kilogram linye.
Isilinganiso segwayi elizathengiswa emkhambo walonyaka likhangelelwe ukuba lizabe lehlile ngokulitshumi ekhulwini- 10%, okuzakwehlisa inzuzo.
Lokhu kwaziswe ngabenhlanganiso eyeTobbaco Industry and Marketing Board (TIMB) yona eqondisa umsebenzi wokulinywa lokuthengiswa kwe gwayi eZimbabwe.
