The entrepreneurs also have to contend with poor mobile network connectivity which has disrupted the mobile money platform, EcoCash. ---------- itel A70 256GB $99USD WhatsApp: https://wa.me/+263715068543 Calls: 0772464000 ---------- Reports indicate that EcoCash transactions can only be conducted from 11 am to 10 pm, forcing shop owners to sell goods on credit risking bad debts.

Runaway inflation mirroring the 2008 implosion has further dashed the hopes of millions. *More: NewZimbabwe.com* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
