Adopt the rand n follow the rand policy / conditions and accept they won’t have control over foreign currency

In my view Hope that SAfricans can see with their own eyes what is happening in Zimbabwe the same way politics was run in Zimbabwe is exactly the same political inspirations of black supported myanc and how disastrous was that for the country our own petrol will go up in April

Zim is broke bankrupt. There is no currency that can fix that.

Hey, how is Africa’s favourite son doing? Doing fantastic without the West!? You will destroy yourself as you do not know how to govern or be prosper, you only care about your pockets. Same for rest of Africa.

Mugabe 2.0

Endless problems, no viable solutions.

The plight of our neighbours to the north is intertwined with ours. The should have adopted the rand 10 years ago. Can we cut to the chase and get on with economic recovery instead of constantly reinventing economics.

Navigator_SA what's new?

...and consider removing some zeros while at it please.

Economic freedom 🤣😂🤣 all Zimbos are billionaires 🤣😂😂

I'm not shading Zim in favour of SA, but at least there's value in a Rand

Use Rand's...😪

Zimbabwe must stop this thing.

NarcissusMZ Kwacha is on the table.

Zim has huge potential, citizens need to trust the reforms being instituted by the government

Now theyre victims of their own circumstances.Thanks to the mugabe led regime.

that'll fix it...

edmnangagwa HeraldZimbabwe ZANUPF_Official You guys are diluted, delusional and intellectually disorganized.

These Black Market economists are the ones delaying the economic transformation in Zim.They Actualy against all fair bssnes practises

Amd Bob the bandit lives the life of Riley. Crashed a country. Yet lives like a king

Zimbabwe is evidence that it is very easy to mess up a well functioning country. To rehabilitate it will take a long time. In the meantime the man responsible for the mess is sitting at home playing victim...we are not as different from Zim as we think but we still have a chance.

Poor billionaires

Why don't adapt rand like other neighbouring countries.this zim dollars will put pressure to us once more

without any Industry the existing are closing shop how silly .it has failed many times

Should convert to Rand

I wonder when will Zimbabwe games end.

We are doomed 😑✋

Digital currency makes sense to avoid the same mistakes

I recommend they sell the country to the highest bidder otherwise the citizens are going to suffer more in the future.

Britain needs to colonize Zimbabwe again

ZIMBABWE WILL RISE AGAIN

Long over due bring it on

MluMagubane Now its under planning, when it was supposed to be released on 15 Oct 2018? 😕

Hehehehehehe desperation make pple take wrong action

Would it not be cheaper to create a relevant, suitable stamp & use toilet paper, single ply - at least something useful is created, value much probably the same.

Reactionary policies are a recipe for disaster, some problems are better addressed before they are full blown. We had USD(water), introduced Bond Note (Fire) and now he is speaking of dousing a Fire (Bond Note) with a Fire (ZimDollar) when we have ran out of Water (USD)

It won't be worth the paper it's printed on.. toliet paper probably has a higher value than the zim currency

Let's hope that new currency will make the economy of Zim to rise

Maybe they should consider using the Rand. Why don’t they stick with the Zim dollar and scrap out the Rand and other foreign currency? How many times have they changed the currency already?🙄
