Zimbabwe lifts tax on food imports
Zimbabwe's government has suspended duty on basic commodity imports for 90 days, after heavy rains and the failure to supply agricultural inputs led to a maize shortfall predicted by government at about one million tonnes.
Analysts said the three-month window had political overtones because it coincided with 27 June, the date announced for the presidential run-off between Morgan Tsvangirai, of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), and the incumbent, Robert Mugabe, of ZANU-PF, and was a ploy to buy votes with food.
