Farai Dziva|Zanu PF leader Emmerson Mnangagwa has implored Zimbabweans to celebrate the reintroduction of the Zimbabwean dollar.

The government has banned the use of the United States dollar -abandoning the multi-currency regime in the process.

Analysts say the move is disastrous as the country does not have enough foreign currency reserves.

Mnangagwa has urged Zimbabweans to rejoice because the Zim Dollar is back.

Speaking to reporters in Victoria Falls Mnangagwa declared that his government must be given credit for bringing back normalcy.

“Zimbabwe has gone back to normalcy and the normalcy is that a country must have its own currency. We were living in an abnormal situation and you must congratulate us for becoming normal again.”

The Zim dollar, however, has been met with scepticism all over Zimbabwe with banks hiking interest rates and individuals withholding their cash.
