The government of Zimbabwe will soon roll out “garrison or cantonment shops” for serving security sector members as a way of cushioning them from the vagaries of inflation.

In a weekly post-cabinet briefing to journalists in Harare, Finance and Economic Development minister Prof. Mthuli Ncube said the cantonment shops are different from silo or people’s shops which government promised to introduce last year but have not taken off.

Under the scheme, those serving in the security sector will be “issued with a card or credit limit to buy what they want monthly”.
