Valentine Mutatu, a law lecturer and human rights defender said: > You will notice that for senior lawyers, they used to charge US$300 (per hour) and the latest tariff shows they can now charge RTGS$1 200. > If you change that at the prevailing black market rate of today, which is around $420 for a US$$100 bill, it’s slightly lower than what we used to charge. *More: Newsday* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
