1/ Dear @MthuliNcube

It has been about two months since the auction system commenced. We commend how the system has managed to control the exchange rate, though it seems about 9/10 (nine tenths) of transactions are being held outside the bank rate at between 1:120 and 1:160.
2/ Which sectors are using the bank rate? Which ones are not? Is there a regulation in place to comply with the official exchange rate for all beneficiaries of the auction system and businesses operating in Zimbabwe? I raise these pertinent questions as consumers are always being
3/...abused by greedy, selfish and unethical business owners. Secondly, the biggest loser under the auction system is the ordinary person who earns their income in RTGS plastic money. Prices in RTGS are over priced way above USD prices & most goods are sold only in USD which...
4/...means that they have to buy USD at 1:120 or more. @ReserveBankZIM took the burden of sourcing USD for the procurement of fuel yet we hardly have any garages selling fuel in local currency. There is no one in civil service and most small enterprises who earn USDs.
5/ We demand to know what exactly is going on and what measures the @ZimTreasury and @ReserveBankZIM have put in place to ensure that Zimbabweans can transact using local currency. It is now a hassle to be running around looking for USD to buy basic commodities & fuel.
6/ Most people can't even afford to buy food anymore let alone access medical care because of the inconsistent policies you keep throwing around. Zimbabwe is not ZanuPF, Zimbabwe is not about the elite & their interests. We expect economic development for all Zimbabweans.
