Farai Dziva|RBZ officials have been accused of working in cahoots with unscrupulous Ecocash agents- in cash hoarding syndicates.

This was said by MDC official Antony Taruvinga.

“Bond notes and coins, which are not available in banks, are being sold at a premium of as high as 50% through Ecocash on the streets around the country.

The RBZ is the source of all the cash problems. We are learning that instead of providing cash to the banks, they divert it to their agents on the streets including Ecocash agents, to sell the cash for abnormal profits.

Everyday is a profit day for these cartels. The people are at pains. This government is so corrupt, and ED and Mthuli have become bystanders and spectators in the game. They have lost control. The cartels are becoming richer by day,” argued Taruvinga.
