Senator Sengezo Tshabangu, the controversial interim Secretary General of the Citizens Coalition for Change, has sparked significant debate by advocating for Zimbabwe to adopt the troubled ZiG as its official currency.

Tshabangu’s actions have raised eyebrows, with some suggesting he’s trying to ingratiate himself with Zanu PF, despite his assertions of being an opposition leader.

On Thursday Tshabangu said:“Patriotism is loving your country wholeheartedly,” he asserted.

“Anyone who undermines or sabotages efforts by the @ZimTreasury to have our own currency must be treated as an enemy.

Yes, we might differ in political principles, but in anything that benefits the nation, we must cooperate.”

Tshabangu’s comments raise questions about the viability of the ZiG, especially given the current economic challenges facing Zimbabwe. His call to prioritize national currency over the US dollar has drawn mixed reactions from both supporters and critics.

As the debate continues, the implications of such a shift could have significant consequences for the nation’s economy and its future direction.
