In an interview with Open Parly, Mashakada asserted that China is set to benefit at Zimbabwe’s expense as it will be buying Zimbabwean products using RTGS dollars.

This is worse than colonialism. > Our foreign debt obligations are paid in US Dollars. Medicines and equipment are paid in US Dollars. The regime has bungled. However, Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube has defended the currency swap deal with China, saying it will help the country service its over USD1,8 billion debt to the Asian country. *More: Open Parly* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
