By A Correspondent- Some tuckshops and general dealer shops in Chitungwiza and parts of Harare suburbs are refusing to accept Zimbabwean money written bond notes starting Thursday 18 June 2020.

Said one source from Westlea in Harare:

“Woke up this morning in Westlea almost all tuckshops are refusing bond notes especially the $2 note which is specifically written bond note. Zimbabwe is messy.”

Confirmed another shocked Chitungwiza citizen:

“Yes, it is true. They are not accepting the bond notes anymore but yesterday, we were transacting with it as legal tender. Imagine just waking with a valueless paper yet when you slept the previous night you thought you had money. This is not fair at all.”

Confirmed a tuckshop owner in Unit K Seke:

“We are refusing that money because the customers are also refusing to accept it becuase they argue that it does not have value. Our fear is that we may collect it and then fail to use it because of the ever skyrocketing rates. We are preferring the US dollars.”
