A raft of new taxes and increases announced as part of Zimbabwe's 2024 budget by Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube has been widely condemned.
The increase in passport fees to $200 (£160), up from $120, making it the most expensive in the region, seems to have provoked the most ire.
But the increase in passport fees was just one of several hikes proposed by Mr Ncube, who needs to increase government revenue in order to reduce the amount of money the state needs to borrow.
A 1% wealth tax will be levied on residential properties with a minimum value of $100,000. Private residential properties owned by those above 70 are exempt.

Burkina Faso and Niger have followed Mali in announcing they are to withdraw from an international force known as the G5 that was set up to fight Islamists in the Sahel region.
All three countries are run by military rulers following coups who have formed their own mutual defence pact.
A statement from the military-led governments of Burkina Faso and Niger was critical of the G5 force for failing to make the Sahel region safer.
It also suggested the anti-jihadist force undermined the two African nations' desire for greater independence and dignity and was serving foreign interests instead. They almost certainly meant France.
Relations with the former colonial power have dramatically deteriorated.
