If you are taking casual photos, the rates don't apply to you.
But if you intend to set up your tripod, multiple cameras, etc you may consider coughing up the amount.
It's worth getting in touch with local authorities and law enforcement either way. I had a horrible experience in Pointe Noire, Congo last December. I also saw some tourists getting harassed when they took pics of the Dedan Kimathi statue the other day - which I though was totally uncalled for. It doesn't help that some buildings that are landmarks e.g. KICC may or may not be classified as restricted, depending on who's arresting you.
