The cash crisis seems to be further escalating in Zimbabwe as the country continues to run out of the US Dollar and only few remaining cash is in bond notes and coins. However as the banks struggles to provide cash for clients, most of them had to dish out to their clients bond coins in sachets much to the chagrin of the citizens who envision the 2008 era where cash problems escalated to disproportionate levels.
A Masvingo based journalist Tatenda Chitagu posted on Facebook the sachets of bond coins and commented that, "Its that time again where satchels and bags replace wallets in Zimbabwe. This my $100 in coins of fifty bond coins I got today from my bank."
"Suppose $100 in bond coins weigh 1kg, for $1000 I will be saddled with such a load? Ma1 aye atanga!"
