The new tolls join seven others that have been operating since June 2022 and which, so far, have generated around one billion meticais in revenues for the National Road Fund.
The first toll will be installed on National Highway No. 1 in Manhiça district, just over 80 km from Maputo city, and will be the second to be built on the Maputo-Xai-Xai section, a stretch of just over 198 km.
The second toll will be implemented on National Highway No. 280, in Guara-Guara, Búzi district, Sofala province, on the Tica-Búzi-Nova Sofala section, a stretch of approximately 100 km.

Notably, the two tolls to be installed in the province of Nampula are in the corridor that connects the cities of Nampula and Nacala-Porto.
In the same session, the government endorsed a decree approving the toll rates to be applied at the new toll stations.
The Council of Ministers also approved a decree which, pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Law No. 28/2022 of December 29, establishes the rules and procedures for the payment of fees for foreign exchange operations and partial foreign exchange trading.
