Zim central bank urges public to use SA rand 'more'
30 March 2017
Harare – The Zimbabwean central bank has reportedly urged the public to replace the US dollar with the rand as the country's main currency.
According to New Zimbabwe.com, Reserve bank of Zimbabwe deputy governor Kapukile Mlambo said that they were going to be content if the public used the South African rand more than the US dollar.
Mlambo's remarks came as cash shortages in the southern African country continued to bite.
Zimbabwe introduced its own surrogacy currency dubbed the "bond notes" last year, but the move has failed to address the cash problem.
