There was mayhem at CBZ bank Mvurwi branch yesterday after the bank reportedly saved civil servants first neglecting farmers who are sleeping daily in queues due to scarcity of cash.
Tobacco farmers allegedly caused havoc after civil servants came for their salaries chief among them nurses.
The nurses were given first priority by the bank to get their salaries at the expense of the farmers.
Most farmers are said to have spent days withdrawing US$150 per day, which is the maximum allowed daily.
"We ran riot after seeing that civil servants were getting their salaries yet we were being neglected but we spent the whole night in these meandering queues
"How can someone come from home and get money in less than thirty minutes yet we are sleeping in queues," lamented a farmer who identified himself as Muza.
Civil servants who spoke to Bulawayo24.com on the date in question said farmers should sympathize with them since it is their monthly salaries and would be in a hurry to get back to work.
"These farmers should bear with us we will be at work unlike them they have all the time to get their monies anytime but our monthly remuneration comes only once so these guys should just let us have what belongs to us," said the sources
Mvurwi police had to be called to ease the pandermonium after farmers burst into Chimurenga songs threatening to cause massive havoc.
