“The Municipality of Marondera would like to inform all bicycle owners and cyclists that they are required to pay an annual bicycle license fee of $5 per year.
“Cyclists and bicycle owners are hereby reminded that it is an offence to cycle an unlicensed bicycle within the municipal jurisdiction of any local authority.
