There is a lot of ignorance on how international trade occurs. That US$11.6bn transferred into Zim without hassle means there is no sanction against Zim. The RBZ is correct to respond to allegations of money laundering. Zim is a signatory of Vienna, Palermo & Merida conventions

After listening to Gono, it’s safe to say Zimbabwe is in trouble. Nothing has changed, loans that are turned to handouts & written off by the same beneficiaries. Zimbabweans are an ignorant lot. The RBZ already has USD$4.5bn offshore debt. We all know what will happen.

Chiadzwa Diamond money visited a few individual pockets & most was pocketed in Harare, Dubai & China. The villagers are still wondering what happened? The same villagers will now pay for the mbudzi interchange in Harare. Most of the villagers have never been to Harare. 🤷🏾‍♂️

The first hyperinflation in recorded occurred under Roman Empire when the authorities tried to pull a fast one on the public by mixing gold with bronze. They got away with it at first until bronze became 90% and hyperinflation ensued. It’s not enough for RBZ to mint gold coins.

Just in case you’re wondering how other countries are doing it, here is Ghana as a shining example of what to do. Let’s hope Zimbabwe, Zambia and Malawi can learn…

Let cool heads prevail At the end of the 2023 harmonised elections process is an economy and livelihoods. For good measure the sustainance and future of the Zimbabwean economy is anchored on the promise that Zimbabwe made to uphold free, fair, peaceful and credible elections.

@nickmangwana Did any of these countries have hyperinflation history? 3X in the last 20 years? A new currency every five years? Did their latest currency lose 50% of value in the last six months? Do they’ve a fixed Fx rate? Why are you speaking on issues that are the preserve of RBZ? 🤔

@nickmangwana This is not true at all. Mining and Agriculture combined produce less than Manufacturing. And Manufacturing isn’t even number one. Number one is wholesale and retail trade. @nickmangwana can you set the record straight otherwise some kid will fail their Grade 7 exam.

The dinosaurs had you believe that Agriculture was the highest gdp sector. This had been going on for years to justify the Makandiwa doctrine eg. Command Agriculture I received the most hate mail & trolling for calling out this lie by simply stating a fact.

The Doctors in Zimbabwe have shown exceptional clarity of thought and fiduciary duty. It’s important to see the interrelatedness of things. Economics becomes political just as the political becomes economics. The Doctor’s fight is for the good of all Zimbabweans/1

Gold backed digital currency. The RBZ is again off the tracks with another crazy idea. If RBZ believes in backing currency with gold why not back their own issued currency ZWL with gold 🤷🏾‍♂️ The PMR rate is now 1800 double the Jan rate in four months. Inflation spiraling out of
