Zimbabwe is experiencing an acute shortage of foreign currency which has driven the rate up. This has resulted in shortages of some products such as fuel, which has to be imported. It has also resulted in a drastic increase in prices of basic commodities. Ncube’s announcement tweet was mostly met with negative reactions. https://twitter.com/PacheduZW/status/1129814410166525952 > Prof Mthuli in the last few months, the mega deals you have reported would make us the most stable economy in the world. Is this an attempt to calm the markets? Good advise – tell ED @edmnangagwa to stop discreditable dialogue, engage in genuine talks. > — Dr Nkululeko Sibanda ZW (@DrNkuSibanda) May 18, 2019 More: Mthuli Ncube on Twitter itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
