In areas such as Tsholotsho, Bulilima, Mangwe, Matobo and Gwanda, the villagers receive monthly remittances from family members living in South Africa or Botswana and this has sustained local trade in foreign currency. In June this year, the government promulgated Statutory Instrument (SI) 142 of 2019 which ended the multi-currency system that had been in place since 2009, with new notes being introduced earlier this month. *More: The Standard* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
