The statement, which was subsequently disowned by the organisation reads as follows: ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- *TAX ALERT* *Introduction of the Zimbabwe Dollar as the sole legal tender* > Our commentary > With the introduction of SI 142 of 2019, and reading between the lines are some of our comments with regards to the SI: > a. Fighting the black market rate – The instrument has all the hallmarks of a hastily concocted measure to stop the downward spiral of the RTGS dollar against other currencies. Whether it will have any such effect remains to be seen. > b. Challenges in companies to restock – we envisage that with no foreign currency earnings and obtaining them on the legal market still an issue to be addressed, there is bound to be challenges for companies to restock especially if the current inventory was acquired in USD. This might, at the end of the day, lead to empty shelves and massive job cuts as companies streamline their costs. > c. No mention of penalties for those trading in foreign currencies – the SI does not state any repercussions on companies who continue to trade in foreign currency. > d. No law prohibiting the sale of goods/services or drafting of contracts in foreign currency – there is no law in Zimbabwe that requires prices to be marked up in legal tender or accounts to be drawn up in legal tender. > Similarly, if parties agree that a debt should be repaid in foreign currency, then the debtor is obliged to do so. The reason being there is no law in Zimbabwe which invalidates a contract that stipulates payment must be done in foreign currency. > _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
