More than currency conversion
will be needed to lift the economy out of its
deep malaise, writes Raenette
Taljaard
August 23, 2006 Edition 1
AS ZIMBABWE Reserve
Bank Governor Gideon Gono aims to conclude his
deadline-driven,
headline-grabbing currency conversion process, the events
of recent weeks
have highlighted yet again that more than currency
conversion will be
required to lift the Zimbabwean economy out of its deep
malaise.
While Gono's unprecedented direct exercise of executive
powers may have
spurred a miniconsumer boom with thousands of Zimbabweans
shopping to rid
themselves of potentially useless currency, nothing short of
a clear
political transition roadmap and a coherent macro-economic
stabilisation
strategy and structural reforms in Zimbabwe will
suffice.
The meltdown of South Africa's major regional trading partner
carries the
connotations that all risk indices attach to the "bad neighbour"
factor. Bad
neighbours do not assist in the global competition for
investment - whether
foreign or local.
The crisis furthermore has a
definite impact on our country's current
account imbalances, as well as
seeing us foregoing higher levels of
realiseable regional trade and economic
growth.
The recent Southern African Development Community (SADC) heads of
state
summit failed to place the question of Zimbabwe squarely and
unambiguously
on its agenda yet succeeded, albeit only partially, to put it
on the
economic radar screen in the form of the finance and investment
accord that
set out a framework for establishing a regional monetary union
by 2016. This
new accord was not signed by Zimbabwe and Angola.
Even
if it were to have been signed by Zimbabwe, its credibility would
immediately have been undermined based on Zimbabwe's current macro-economic
indicators. Not even Greece in the latest stages of the Maastricht
conversion targets that preceded the formation of the single European
currency lagged so far behind other European Union states in terms of
indicators as Zimbabwe currently lags behind the rest of the SADC. With an
inflation rate of close to 1 000% this can hardly be a credible pact if it
includes Zimbabwe at this stage.
While regional convergence is
already a highly ambitious economic goal, the
crisis in Zimbabwe, if it
remains unresolved, slipping into further slow
decline, will render it
meaningless.
What has largely been absent from the analysis of the Gono
currency
conversion drive has been the extent to which it relies on
extraordinary
executive powers, uses agents outside of state structures in
clear
violations of human rights, including strip-searching Zimbabwean
nationals
for the old currency as well as the absence of a macro-economic
stabilisation strategy that speaks so loudly from this vociferous misguided
campaign.
Powers
In respect of the exercise of executive power
the Governor of the Reserve
Bank has stepped on to the stage of
responsibilities that are normally the
preserve of the executive arm of
government - worse still - of the
extraordinary powers of the
presidency.
The powers granted to achieve the currency conversion process
have been
granted under the presidential powers (temporary measures,
currency
revaluation) regulations. This direct exercise of executive powers
by the
Governor of the Reserve Bank is wide-ranging in scope and has been
condemned
by the Law Society of Zimbabwe.
In respect of human rights
violations the so-called youth brigades have been
formally involved in the
currency conversion crackdown. The project has used
"border patrols" that
involved the official state agencies, including the
Zimbabwean Republic
Police, and the Revenue Authority, as well as the
"youths" in exercises of
gross executive power in which no civil remedies
exist in law against any
capricious actions or currency confiscations. There
is therefore no recourse
against administrative actions.
Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights and the
Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition have
instituted actions challenging the
legality of the regulations as well as
the setting up of roadblocks and the
use of unauthorised individuals -
essentially the militia - to conduct
searches. The extinguishing of
potential civil remedies in the regulations
clearly contributes to a state
of police and state agent impunity - let
alone the immunity of the militias
that have been on repressive display over
the past five years in numerous
instances.
Lopping three zeros off
the Zimbabwe dollar will not bring about the
longer-term painful steps of
forging ahead with a macro-economic
stabilisation policy and a package of
structural economic reforms. It
certainly will not address the underlying
political causes of the economic
crisis. Zimbabwe will not only require a
clear policy direction but also the
co-operation of the international
community and the regional SADC community.
Throughout the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) assessment report of
Zimbabwe, as well as all recent IMF
statements, one refrain rings through -
the need for a clear economic vision
and the political commitment to carry
out a painful reform process: ". . .
the IMF mission emphasised that
Zimbabwe's economic crisis calls for urgent
implementation of a
comprehensive policy package comprising several mutually
reinforcing
actions. These include: strong fiscal adjustment; full
liberalisation of the
exchange rate regime for current account transactions;
adoption of a strong
monetary anchor; elimination of quasi-fiscal activity
of the Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe and transparent absorption of these losses
by the budget; and
fundamental structural reform, including price
deregulation, public
enterprise reform, strengthening of property rights and
improvements in
governance.
"In the absence of such a comprehensive
and immediate policy package,
Zimbabwe's economic prospects would be
bleak."
These sentiments have often been repeated in countless recent IMF
statements, including comments by IMF Director Rodrigo de Rato at the past
spring meeting of the multilateral finance institutions at which Zimbabwe is
still subjected to clear restrictions in its relationship with the fund. The
IMF has also called for the political and human rights crisis to be directly
addressed.
There can be little doubt that Gono's ineptly titled
"Operation Sunrise"
will not give rise to the dawning of a new robust
economic growth path. It
is a misguided campaign that will not result in
far-reaching economic
reform. It is a very, very small and highly
repressively executed step that
will not address the real problems
underlying the spiralling levels of
inflation that may push regional
inflation back into double digit territory
on the back of increased global
upside inflationary risks.
Indeed the Zimbabwean Reserve Bank itself is
guilty of ballooning the
country's deficit through its quasi-fiscal
activities in bankrolling the
entire parastatal sector "off-budget". If
these figures are included in the
budget, the fiscal deficit in Zimbabwe
escalates dramatically, paving the
way for ongoing hyper
inflation.
Growth
The World Economic Forum "Going for Growth"
Africa meeting emphasised that
growth had become Africa's new development
strategy. This requires both
political stability and clear macro- economic
policies.
While it has been clear for a long period of time that
political stability
is absent in Zimbabwe, Gono's currency crunch merely
served to highlight to
the world the complete lack of a clear and coherent
macro-economic roadmap
to save the ailing economy from its current silent
meltdown.
The SADC task force of finance, economic and trade ministers
that have been
asked to look into efforts to scale up implementation of
SADC's integration
agenda will have to draw extensively on their own efforts
at macro-economic
stabilisation and structural reform if they are to offer
sound advice to
Zimbabwean colleagues if the goal of monetary integration is
to be realised
with credibility intact. But none of the core economic
questions will be
addressed as long as the political quagmire lingers
unresolved.

HARARE - Senior Zimbabwe government officials have approved a
report
jointly produced with relief agencies, saying 1.4 million people in
rural
areas will require food aid between now and next year, in what is
certain to
be a major embarrassment for President Robert
Mugabe.
Mugabe, always too eager to prove his controversial land
redistribution exercise helped expand agricultural production, has on
various occasions this year publicly claimed Zimbabwe would not need help
after harvesting enough food in the 2005/06 farming season.
But
the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) says in
the report
that 91 000 tonnes of cereals would be required to feed people in
rural
areas who did not harvest enough and who - because of worsening
poverty in
the southern African counrty - are not able to buy food even if
it was
available on the market.
The ZimVAC 2006 hunger report that will
only be made public once
Mugabe has seen and approved it, reads in part: "A
total of 1.4 million
people, which is about 17 percent of the rural
population are estimated to
be food insecure in the current consumption
year.
"The sum total household cereal deficit for this
population is
estimated at 91 000 metric tonnes. The 1.4 million people are
not able to
purchase the cereal even if it is made available on the
market."
There are several millions more of hungry people in
Zimbabwe's poverty
stricken cities and towns but these were not covered in
the ZimVAC report
which was focusing only on rural areas.
ZimVAC comprises the government, United Nations (UN) agencies and
non-governmental organisations (NGOs). It carries out hunger vulnerability
assessments in the country and its latest report was compiled following a
survey on hunger carried in May this year.
In a covering note
accompanying copies of the hunger report sent to
heads of UN agencies and
NGOs, ZimVAC chairwoman Joyce Chanetsa wrote:
"Please find attached the
ZimVAC 2006 rural assessment summary and short
report which has been
approved by senior government officials."
Chanetsa however warned
the UN and NGO officials not to publicise the
report as yet, presumably to
ensure Mugabe is first briefed about the report
and gives his backing before
it can be released to the public. Without
Mugabe's approval, the ZimVAC
report would virtually be useless.
According to the report, a third
of primary school age children in
rural areas were prematurely dropping out
of school because of rising hunger
amid deepening poverty.
But
hunger is only one of many severe symptoms of Zimbabwe's
seven-year old
economic crisis that has also spawned shortages of fuel,
electricity,
essential medicines, hard cash and just about every basic
survival
commodity.
The main opposition Movement for Democratic Change party
and Western
governments blame the crisis on repression and wrong policies by
Mugabe, in
particular his seizure of productive farms from whites for
redistribution to
landless blacks.
The farm seizures
destabilised the mainstay agricultural sector and
caused severe food
shortages after the government failed to give black
villagers resettled on
former white farms skills training and inputs support
to maintain
production.
But Mugabe, who has ruled Zimbabwe since the country's
1980
independence from Britain, denies mismanaging the country and says its
problems are because of economic sabotage by Western governments opposed to
his seizure of white land. - ZimOnline

HARARE - Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor Gideon Gono
cut short
an official trip to China, returning to Harare last Tuesday to
take charge
as problems continue rocking the financial system following a
currency
switch last Monday.
Gono, who had gone to Beijing to
tie-up trade deals arranged during
last month's visit to the Asian country
by Vice-President Joice Mujuru, had
been expected back in the country
tomorrow.
But the RBZ chief was seen on Wednesday afternoon
emerging from
Munhumutapa Building, the offices of President Robert Mugabe
where it is
understood the problems that have emerged since the currency
change-over
were discussed.
"He (Gono) had to cut short the
visit in fear that things were going
haywire. We needed him here as there
was a likelihood of extending the
deadline (for individuals and businesses
to change over to new currency),"
said a senior RBZ official, who did not
want to be named because he is not
allowed to disclose such information to
the Press.
Neither Gono nor Finance Minister Herbert Murerwa was
available to
take questions on the matter.
Gono, tasked by
Mugabe to revive Zimbabwe's sickly economy, also spent
most of yesterday
morning locked up in meetings with RBZ staff and banking
executives,
reportedly discussing problems brought to the fore by the new
currency and
other monetary regulations he introduced at the beginning of
the
month.
The RBZ gave Zimbabweans up to August 21 to hand over old
bearer
cheques in exchange for new ones as part of sweeping currency reforms
that
also included a 60 percent devaluation of the local dollar and which
Gono
said were meant to bring back dignity to Zimbabwe's near-worthless
currency.
The new bearer cheques have less zeroes after the central
bank slashed
three zeroes from every banknote as part of the currency
reforms.
Bearer cheques are promissory notes first introduced by
the RBZ three
years ago at the height of cash shortages in Zimbabwe. They
are not official
legal tender but are used in the same way as
money.
While the key Bankers Association of Zimbabwe announced at
the close
of business on deadline day on Monday that all banks had switched
over to
new currency - signalling the currency change-over had largely been
successful - there remain immense problems troubling both individual
citizens and business.
Insiders say the government was
particularly concerned with the
shortage of small denomination notes causing
problems for especially
retailers who are unable to give back change to
customers when they buy.
There was also concern that thousands of
people especially villagers
from remote parts of the country, who could not
travel to towns and other
centres to change their money on time, had been
left stuck with millions of
now worthless old money, a situation state
security agencies are said to
fear could trigger off public riots. -

Siavonga
Every day, Tracey Zulu walks from Zimbabwe into
Zambia and sets up a stall
selling baking powder, nuts, tomato sauce sachets
and biscuits. On a good
day she can make a US$2 profit; on a bad day she
makes nothing at all.
Her economic decline mirrors Zimbabwe's. "Once, I
had a powerful business
selling expensive duvets, blankets and clothes," the
48-year-old mother of
four said. "Everything is gone and I can't even have a
decent meal."
Zimbabwe's economy is in free-fall: inflation is hovering
at around an
annual rate of 1,000 percent and unemployment levels are more
than 70
percent.
As a result, cross-border traffic has risen
dramatically, from about 40
vehicles and 30-odd people a day, said a Zambian
immigration official, to
more than 300 small traders and 200
vehicles.
The Zimbabwean government tries to discourage this by
introducing specific
regulations. Zimbabwean traders are limited at the
Kariba border post to
carrying only US$10 worth of customs-free goods, in
contrast to the
international norm of US$250.
On the Zimbabwean side
of the border, soldiers search traders to make them
abide by the letter of
the law. "If I carried more goods, I would have to
declare them at the
border with proof of receipts," Zulu said.
This keeps her profit margins
negligible. "Because of limiting the cash
flow, two of my children have now
stopped going to school because I can't
raise enough money to pay for their
fees," she said.
Sometimes traders increase their earnings by smuggling
alcohol, but
"Zimbabwe alcohol is very strong and when our people begin to
consume it,
cases of violence and thefts begin to rise in Siavonga", a
Zambia Revenue
Authority official said. Zambia taxes Zimbabwean alcohol
heavily.
In Siavonga, traders knock on people's doors, their desperation
further
eroding their already puny profits. "They will keep on begging me to
buy and
reducing the price further," said Milimo Mudenda, a Zambian
government
worker.
Zimbabwe's economic meltdown has changed the flow
of people across the
border. In the past, it used to be Zambians who bought
cheap groceries in
Zimbabwe. Now, Zimbabweans go to Zambia to buy basics
such as detergents,
cooking oil and salt.
"We also buy anti-malaria
tablets from the chemists here, because in
Zimbabwe we must have a doctor's
prescription to buy any medicine," Zulu
said.

Harare
23 August 2006
Zimbabwe has
undergone a massive currency change. Old cash has become
obsolete and shops
are only accepting the new currency. Traders are
complaining bitterly that
business has collapsed because they cannot get
hold of small
change.
Economist Tony Hawkins said the currency change over on Monday
went fairly
smoothly. He said the new currency, from which three zeros have
been cut,
will make it easier for businesses and consumers.
He said
banks and commercial computer systems had struggled with the volume
of zeros
in the old currency and he said shoppers would no longer have to
carry giant
piles of money for small purchases.
Vendors in the consumer sector were
struggling after the changeover. Several
working outside a shopping center
in Harare's northern suburbs said they had
not made any sales because they
did not have change for customers.
One vendor selling fresh fruits said
his business had collapsed because
people couldn't get enough money from the
banks.
"Last week business was very good because we were accepting the
old
currency, but by now it is getting difficult, the new currency is very
few,"
he said.
A manager at a normally busy supermarket said business
had been very brisk
in the last few days as people off loaded old
currency.
There were few customers on the first day of the new currency.
He said the
problem was people had no money to spend as banks were short of
the new
currency, particularly in smaller denominations. He said tellers at
checkout
points were suffering abuse from customers, because they had so
little
change.
"As for yesterday, when we started this thing of new
moneys, it seemed to be
a problem and everything seemed to be chaotic, but
especially with the
change," he said. "They were no longer allowing the old
money for change so
they knew that was their last day yesterday, so everyone
wanted new money as
their change. We didn't have those small money to change
them ."
Early Tuesday, banks were busy accepting last deposits of old
notes from
traders only. Customers trying to deposit or exchange old notes
were turned
away.
Bank tellers said they had insufficient small
denomination notes for
businesses because the central bank had not provided
enough. They said they
did not know when this situation would improve.
Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe
officials were not available for comment
Tuesday.
One trader said that when more small change became available,
life would be
easier. He said previously he had to send several large wooden
trunks to the
bank twice a day to do business. Now he said the same value of
revenue taken
over a day would fit into his attache case.
Most
economists say this changeover will have to be repeated within two
years
because annual inflation is at nearly 1,000 percent and rising.
Zimbabwe
cannot afford to print normal cash notes. The new money is printed
on flimsy
paper and are called bearer checks.
Zimbabwe's economy is in its worst
crisis since independence 26 years ago
and there are regular shortages of
fuel and electricity as the government
has little foreign currency to import
them.

The pressure group Women
of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) reports that some of
the 26 minors who were
arrested on Monday were allegedly tortured while in
police custody. More
than 190 people were arrested on Monday during peaceful
demonstrations in
Bulawayo and Harare . Although there were no arrests in
Harare - 183 adult
activists, 26 minors and 13 babies had been in custody
for 48 hours until
they were released on free bail Wednesday by a Bulawayo
magistrate.
Although the 13 mothers with babies and 26 minors
were temporarily
released in the evenings, they had to report back each
morning and spend the
day with the others at the police station before being
released again for
the evening.
WOZA coordinators Jenni
Williams and Magodonga Mahlangu both confirmed
in separate interviews that
some of the 26 children were subjected to brutal
treatment by police in the
Law and Order Section where they were allegedly
beaten on the knees with
broomsticks and baton sticks. The pressure group
said the officers were
trying to extract information regarding how WOZA
mobilises, and were not
satisfied until the terrified youths 'confessed' to
fabricated
information.
Manhlangu said; "They were made to sit on 'air chairs'
- they said
sit, but they were sitting on air. They were trying to dig
information from
these youngsters. We are really disturbed by this
brutality."
Williams also added that the police were trying to
extract information
from the teenagers about the whereabouts of the WOZA
coordinators, "Asking
them where I live, who are the leaders? Information
they already had, as the
police don't even ask me for my ID number as they
already have it. This was
just an excuse to intimidate, harass and beat
them. They were beaten with
broomsticks and baton sticks."
The
coordinator said the pressure group is in the process of compiling
medical
records to sue the police over the abuses.
The group is also the
first to be charged under the new draconian
Criminal Procedures and Evidence
Act. If convicted the charge will have a
5-year jail term or a level 10 fine
(ZWD 2,000).
WOZA said it is looking at making a constitutional
challenge saying
this new law is worse than the Public Order and Security
Act.
The activists were arrested on Monday when they had held a
procession,
which intended to hand over an open letter to Reserve Bank of
Zimbabwe (RBZ)
Governor Gideon Gono over the currency reforms he introduced
at the end of
last month.
The Crisis in Zimbabwe Coalition said
in a statement that the
arbitrary arrests are deplorable and crude; "The
arrests are divorced from
the dictates of the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights, which grants
human beings, by their virtue of being human, some
fundamental rights such
as freedoms of assembly, choice and
association."

HARARE - More than 10
uniformed members of the Zimbabwe Republic
Police were recently severely
beaten up by details from the Central
Intelligence Organisation (CIO)
guarding radio signal jamming machinery in
Harare.
The incident
has apparently ignited feuding between the CIO and the
ZRP with police
officers attacking their colleagues for being overzealous
and thinking they
are superior to the uniformed forces and everyone else.
According
to an impeccable source within the organisation, the state
of-the-art
machinery which was installed by the Chinese and secretly
commissioned by
President Robert Mugabe in June this year, is heavily
guarded around the
clock.
The policemen were beaten up after they had gone to
investigate a
report of assault made by a civilian who had beet beaten up
after passing
close by the radio signal jamming station in
Hillside.
When a report of the man's assault was made at Cranborne
Police
Station, the police sent one officer with the complainant to scene
for
further investigations. The complainant had reported that he had been
assaulted by two men in civilian clothes. He said they did not give any
reason for beating him up and that the two had entered some premises close
to Makro Supermarket in Hillside suburb.
Upon arriving at the
scene and questioning the plain clothed
intelligence officers, the policeman
was also badly assaulted, leading to
the dispatching of more than 10 heavily
armed policemen to the premises.
On arrival, the policemen were
immediately told that the premises
belonged to the President's Office. The
officers apparently also lied that
the President was having a meeting in one
of the offices on the premises.
The surprised policemen immediately
complied with orders to disarm and
when their guns had been taken away, and
their magazines removed, all hell
broke loose as the CIO officers pounced.
One of the two heavily armed CIO
officers manning the premises then ordered
the policemen to lie down, and
stood on guard while his colleague badly
assaulted the officers on the
buttocks and under their feet with a
sjambok.
One of the policemen, a chief inspector, is reported to
have cried for
mercy, saying he was an ex-combatant of the liberation
struggle, but that
was not enough to save him from the beating.
"When they had all been done with, they were then ordered to leave.
Most
left with their boots in their hands as their feet were too painful to
wear
shoes," our source revealed.
An angry police commissioner,
Augustine Chihuri, is said to have
raised the matter with his colleague
Happyton Bonyongwe, the Director
General of the CIO, but the DG is said to
have brushed aside the issue as
the work of "overzealous" young
officers.
However, Chihuri is said to have taken the matter to the
President,
resulting in the issuing of a circular warning members of the CIO
not to
beat up people unnecessarily. Plans are under way to put the "Makro"
station under the Presidential Guard and to impose a 6pm to 6am curfew in
the area around the controversial station.
Meanwhile, residents
of Hillside, Braeside and Eastlea suburbs which
are close to the "Markro"
radio signal jamming station, which happens to be
the most powerful one in
the country, have to do with poor radio and
television reception because of
signal interference caused by the station.
Another two powerful
radio signal jamming stations are in Marondera
and Makuti. All are meant to
fend of broadcasts from the independent and
foreign-based radio stations
which the government of Zimbabwe says are being
used by Britain, America,
the Netherlands and others in the West to promote
regime change in
Zimbabwe.
According to our source, the commissioning of the three
stations has
made it difficult, if not impossible, for some Zimbabweans to
tune into
Studio 7, Voice of the People and SW Radioafrica. The radio signal
jamming
equipment is said to consume so much electricity that the CIO has
had to
negotiate with the Zimbabwe Electricity Supply Authority (ZESA) for
concessionary rates.

HARARE, 22 Aug 2006 (IRIN) -
Soldiers and policemen occupied petrol stations
in the capital, Harare, on
Tuesday to force operators to comply with a
government directive to sell
cut-price fuel, after they had closed in
protest because it did not "make
economic sense".
The petrol stations closed after the government set a
fuel price of Z$335
(US$1.34 at the new exchange rate of Z$250 to US$1).
Operators said the
petrol price should be Z$800 (US$3,20) a litre. With fuel
in short supply,
taxi operators grounded their vehicles and thousands of
commuters were
forced to walk to work.
Energy minister Mike Nyambuya
announced the fuel price reductions last week.
One dealer said petrol was
being sold for Z$1,200 (US$4,80) on the parallel
market; another said
actions by soldiers and police were contributing to the
steep rise in the
price of fuel, as dealers were recovering costs by selling
directly to the
parallel market.
An IRIN correspondent witnessed soldiers breaking into a
service station to
force staff to sell fuel at the reduced price, to the
cheers of a small
group of motorists - an event repeated at several petrol
stations in the
capital.
A day after the new currency was introduced,
cash joined the list of
shortages in the country, which already includes
petrol, water and
electricity.
Commercial banks blamed the scarcity of
the new currency on inadequate
supplies from the central bank. "We have
started rationing the little that
we have, so that we can distribute it to
as many people as possible," a
commercial bank official said. The bank has
set a maximum withdrawal of
Z$40,000 (US$160) per individual.
The
currency reforms instituted by Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono are
aimed
at reining in an annual inflation rate of around 1,000 percent, to
reverse
the country's economic meltdown.
But on the first day of the new currency
as the sole legal tender, shortages
drove the parallel exchange rate to
Z$580 to a US dollar, according to
dealers. Last week the unofficial rate
for the new currency was Z$750.
Government and reserve bank officials
were still distributing the new
currency to financial institutions on
Tuesday.
Many people who missed the deadline were trying to offload old
currency for
new but there were no takers, and Gono said there would be no
extension of
the deadline.
Citizens had three weeks to swap their old
currency for the new
denominations, but the central bank governor set a
daily limit on the amount
that could be exchanged. Most people lost
confidence in the banking system
after several banks closed in 2003 and kept
their money at home.
Zimbabweans have become used to shortages: although
the country produces
coal, electricity is rationed because it lacks the
foreign exchange to pay
for imports from neighbouring states, and cannot
generate its own because it
lacks fuel to transport coal to power
plants.
A foreign currency shortage also makes it difficult for
authorities to buy
equipment to repair the water reticulation system and
there are growing
health concerns. "We are sitting on a time bomb," said
Precious Shumba,
spokesman for the Combined Harare Residents Association.
"And with the
hygiene being compromised, we could soon get an outbreak of
diseases because
refuse is also not being collected."

Harare -
Zimbabweans on Tuesday counted their losses a day after a
currency swap
deadline that left many with wads of worthless old banknotes
the government
says had become a tool for black market trade.
Commercial banks and
supermarkets in Harare turned away scores of
clients attempting to use old
Zimbabwe dollars, whose value had collapsed
thanks to the world's highest
inflation rate of 1 000 percent.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ)
last month effectively devalued the
Zimbabwe dollar by 60 percent against
its US counterpart, lopping three
zeros off the currency and ordering people
to switch to re-denominated
banknotes by August 21.
The bank's move was also aimed at a thriving foreign currency black
market,
which it said had channelled trillions of local dollars illegally to
neighbouring countries.
But critics say the exercise also hit
poor urban informal traders who
preferred to keep their money at home in
cash, and rural people without
ready access to banks.
On
Tuesday rights group Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WHOA) said 165 of its
members
were still in police custody in the second city of Bulawayo after
their
arrest the previous day during a street protest over the currency
reforms.
Those arrested were awaiting a court appearance on
charges of holding
a demonstration "likely to breach the peace", said WHOA
spokesperson Jenni
Williams. The group included 26 juveniles and 13 mothers
with infants who
were temporarily freed overnight and ordered to return to
the police station
in the morning.
"They were protesting the
way the exercise has been carried out
including the harassment of people at
roadblocks and also the fact that some
retailers have taken advantage of the
reforms to hike prices," Williams told
Reuters.
To enforce the
currency changes, the government deployed armed police
and youth brigades
from President Robert Mugabe's ruling Zanu-PF party at
roadblocks to search
people for large amounts of cash - grounds for
suspicion of black market
trading.
Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Wayne Bvudjina
could not
immediately comment on the WHOA arrests.
The
state-controlled Chronicle newspaper said most banks in Bulawayo
had opened
as late as 7pm to try and clear long queues as residents made a
last-minute
dash to offload the old money, a number of them unsuccessfully.
The
currency swap has forced thousands of Zimbabweans across the
country on wild
spending sprees despite an eight-year recession that has
impoverished many,
with shoppers preferring to amass anything from cattle to
electrical gadgets
rather than be stranded with piles of worthless paper.

HARARE
- Zimbabwe has bought six more military aircraft from China as
President
Robert Mugabe's government boosts its ties with Asian countries
after
falling out with the West, state media reported today.
The latest
acquisition is in addition to six planes bought by Zimbabwe from
China last
year.
"We will be receiving six aircraft from China sometime this year,"
Defence
Secretary Trust Maposa was quoted by the Herald newspaper as telling
a
parliamentary defence committee.
Maposa did not specify how much
the jets had cost.
He said the government was in arrears with three
Chinese firms that supplied
the jets and other military equipment, including
trucks, but indicated that
the central bank had plans to pay off the
debts.
Mugabe, facing sanctions from Western countries which accuse him
of rigging
elections and question his human rights record, is promoting a
"Look East"
policy to strengthen trade and political ties with
Asia.
Zimbabwe is in deep economic crisis and faces a foreign currency
crisis
aggravated by a withdrawal of funding from international lenders,
hitting
its capacity to import spare parts for its military
equipment.
Last week Mugabe said the defence forces had benefited from
the "Look East"
policy, not only through the acquisition of new equipment
but also through
learning new military strategies.
The veteran leader
said Zimbabwe planners had started a programme to
substitute some
foreign-sourced parts with locally made ones as a way of
beating the
sanctions that he says have been orchestrated by former colonial
power
Britain.

BULAWAYO - A Bulawayo magistrate on Wednesday released 200
protesters
from the Women of Zimbabwe Arise (WOZA) group who were arrested
earlier this
week for demonstrating against the government's monetary
reforms
The protesters were remanded out of custody to 10
October.
State prosecutor, Munyaradzi Nzarayapera, told the court
that the
accused had willfully violated the Public Order and Security Act
(POSA)
after they marched in the city without first seeking permission from
the
police as required under the tough security law.
A lawyer
representing the demonstrators, Simba Chivaura, later told
ZimOnline that he
was happy that his clients were now out of police custody.
"At last
they are smiling, we are all smiling, but reports of police
harassment are a
cause for concern to us," he said.
WOZA took to the streets of
Bulawayo on Monday to register their
disapproval of government monetary
reforms that saw the central bank slash
three zeroes on local currency and
introduce a new form of money in
Zimbabwe.
The central bank
gave Zimbabweans 21 days to switch over to the new
currency, sparking
chaotic scenes throughout the country as people raced to
beat the deadline.

A two-member South Korean delegation yesterday visited
Harare City Council
to explore possible areas of cooperation and business
partnership.
The delegation held a closed door meeting with acting heads
of departments
at which they were informed of business opportunities in
Harare.
Harare council spokesman Mr Madenyika Magwenjere said the city
wants to
engage the Koreans in the development of the Mukuvisi River
Corridor that
spans from Makro Wholesalers in Hillside to Seke Road in
Arcadia.
He said the city reserved that piece of land for industrial,
recreational
and housing development.
He said the place is suitable
for the construction of flats.
"We told them the potential that exists in
the city. They are going to
consider our proposals and report back on the
areas they want to invest in,"
he said.
Mr Magwenjere said the
two-member delegation was part of the larger group of
Korean investors that
is visiting Zimbabwe. The delegation was later taken
on a private tour of
the Mukuvisi River Corridor.

Zimbabwe's main labour movement on Tuesday
called for a national
strike over sharp rises in fuel prices and warned that
the mass stayaway
could last indefinitely if Mugabe's government declines to
reverse the
increases.
Lovemore Matombo, president of
Zimbabwe's Congress of Trade Unions
(ZCTU), said the ZCTU's general council
unanimously decided to challenge a
decision by President Robert Mugabe's
government to increase the price of
some fuels by more than 10
times.
"The ZCTU will undertake a peaceful stayaway," he said.
"Unless the
government gives in to the above demand (to reverse the price
increases),
the job boycott will be indefinite," he added.
Zimbabwe is facing its worst economic crisis in more than two decades,
with
soaring unemployment and shortages of fuel, foreign exchange and food,
which
critics blame on Mugabe's policies. Annual inflation is hovering
around
1,000 percent in July. The main opposition Movement for Democratic
Change
(MDC) has also called for protests against Mugabe. The MDC accuses
Mugabe of
misruling the country and has vowed to lead street protests in a
bid to
drive him from office. It said it would support protests against the
fuel
price hikes announced today.
The government said the increase,
which saw petrol rocket to Z$800 000
($3 200) on the black market per litre,
was necessarily to help improve fuel
imports. Fuel supplies have become
scarce but Zimbabwe recently entered a
deal with West African petroleum
producer Equatorial Guinea to supply oil.
There was no immediate reaction
from the government on the strike threat.
But Energy minister Mike Nyambuya
was quoted on state radio saying
government was working on urgent measures
to cushion workers and consumers
from the fuel price increase.
A police spokesman said the proposed strike was illegal and that
police were
ready to deal with any disturbances. Mugabe last week warned
against civil
disobedience campaign against him saying the armed forces will
be under
instructions to turn their guns on protesters. The MDC called on
"all
progressive Zimbabweans" to support the strike, saying they should
refuse to
pay for economic mismanagement. "There is no doubt that this
inconsiderate
fuel increment is the result of bad governance," secretary
general Tendai
Biti said.

President Cde Joice Mujuru will on Friday officially open the
International
Organisation for Migration (IOM) support centre in Beitbridge.
The centre
was recently established to help clear Zimbabweans repatriated
from South
Africa.
High-powered delegations from Zimbabwe and South Africa are
expected to
attend the ceremony.
Ministers Membithisi Mudladlana
(Labour), Charles Nqakula (Safety and
Security) and Maphisa-Nqakula (Home
Affairs) from South Africa are expected
to join IOM representatives and
their Zimbabwean counterparts.
Preparations for the ceremony are at an
advanced stage with organisers
putting some final touches to the venue. The
main event would be at the IOM
Support Centre near the Zimbabwe National
Railway Station in Beitbridge.
This centre, which started operating early
this year, was designed to cater
for at least 6 000 deportees per
month.
Mr Andrew Gethi, the IOM Beitbridge operations manager, confirmed
yesterday
that preparations were at an advanced stage and that most of the
invited
guests had confirmed their attendance.
He said the centre
offers help in terms of transport to people deported from
South
Africa.
The organisation targeted unaccompanied children, commercial sex
workers,
truck drivers and is offering support in the form of information
about HIV
and Aids, food and basic health care.
"Deportees are human
beings and we would so much want to take this
opportunity to educate them on
site migration," he said.
He said they were offering overnight
accommodation for at least 40 people
while the rest would be conveyed to
their homes upon arrival.
Previously, deportees used to be dumped at
Beitbridge Police Station but now
the centre has offices for immigration,
police, health, social welfare,
Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) in a vein
attempt to deal with different
challenges.
Early this year, the
Minister of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare,
Cde Nicholas Goche,
and his South African counterpart Mr Mudlahlana toured
the
centre.
Cde Goche said that the Government has considered suitable and
legal ways to
help Zimbabweans who want to work in South Africa.
Mr
Mudlahlana echoed the same sentiments on the plight of Zimbabweans in
South
Africa, and said bad handling of the problem would lead to tensions
between
the two countries.

MASERU - Southern African
Development Community (SADC) chairman,
Lesotho Prime Minister Pakalitha
Mosisili, said Zimbabwe - considered by
some to be the weak link in the
regional bloc's integration aspirations -
was "strengthening and the
government has reversed its land seizure policy".
"The
situation in that country is of concern. We have been engaged
with the
leadership of Zimbabwe on how best we can recover the economic
viability of
that country. (But) there has been progress," Mosisili said.
Economic hardships, including rampant inflation, have dogged the
country
since 2000. Further indications of political instability have been
seen in
that recently... Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe issued direct
threats of
state violence aimed at opposition party supporters before he
left for
Maseru.
But Mosisili said on Friday after a special session on
Zimbabwe and
Swaziland that the country was showing signs of a revival and
was addressing
its socio economic challenges.
He also
explained why Zimbabwe and Angola had not signed a protocol
aimed at
aligning the body's finance and investment policies with its
objectives on
Friday.
"Some countries first need the approval of their
parliament ... they
will be signing because there is no doubt they are in
agreement." Mugabe
attended only part of the summit sessions on
Friday.
However, Mosisili said nothing should be read into his
absence.
"President Mugabe is not a young man," he said.

Home Wanted (Ad inserted 25/07/06)
PLEASE can you give a good home to two
lovely mature dogs. They are very
good companions and it would be wonderful
if they could go to the same home.
Unfortunately a home with other animals
would not be suitable.
LOBUS: is a beautiful Boerbull cross Mastiff. He
is about 7/8 years old. He
has been to "school", and responds very well to
commands. He has a very nice
nature, is not aggressive and responds to lots
of love and attention. He is
not very good with other animals, and cats are
a definite no no. However
his best friend is:
LADY: is the sweetest
little tan Staffy. She has the most wonderful nature,
talks to you and just
wants to be loved all the time. She is about 4 years
old and not very
big.
The two together, work as a very good team with regard to security.
Lady is
the ears and Lobus is the muscle.

GOLDEN LABRADOR:
Zulu is my

male dog.
His only problem is being gun shy and thunder and lightening
bother him and
then he likes to run indoors. I am looking for a loving kind
home for him to
very special folk, as I am leaving my house and moving to
tiny premises.
Because of his fear I would prefer a home with NO CHILDREN.
