*Govt Considering Scrapping Off Import Duty On Various Goods* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?ya The government is reportedly considering scrapping off import duty on certain goods to allow individuals with free funds to access affordable goods across the country’s borders. This is said to have been necessitated by some businesses that are charging outrageous prices for their commodities. Sunday News reports that the government also plans to revoke licences of businesses that have defied the government’s orders to charge normal prices. ---------- *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.

SI 142 banned the use of all foreign currencies for domestic transactions and reintroduced the Zimbabwe dollar. This resulted in the local currency gaining value against the US$ on the parallel market. Analysts, therefore, argue that hiking prices was pure sabotage. A snap survey by Sunday News showed that some businesses had however started reducing their prices. For instance, 2 litres cooking oil = $16 & $18 from $20; 2kgs packet of flour = $11 & $12 from $15 to $30. Speaking to Sunday News on Friday, Industry and Commerce Minister Nqobizitha Mangaliso Ndlovu said that the government was considering measures to address the issue of the prices. > We are considering a number of options including reviewing the tariffs regime. I don’t know if we need to be charging duty for people who go and buy groceries outside the country for use when local businesses are killing the same people with high prices. If they continue with this we will remove duty and people can go and buy outside freely.
