A list with 26 names including some high profile people alleged to be black market foreign currency dealers and cash suppliers has surfaced on social media.
There are reports that local commercial banks and senior figures within the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) are either involved in fanning the black market activities that reached alarming levels last week or incompetent to the point of failing their mandate.
Reports yesterday showed that arrests of high-profile people were imminent after President Emmerson Mnangagwa convened a security cluster meeting to deal with the currency parallel market that wreaked havoc last week, with the United States dollar at some point trading at $1 to $6 with the surrogate bond note or electronic transfers.
In an update on the state of the economy, Mnangagwa yesterday warned the black market had become a threat to national security, which demands a "bold response."
We will withdraw names because it has not been verified but the message that accompany the list says, "Below are some of the black market foreign currency dealers and cash suppliers who are causing great pain to the people of Zimbabwe. Some names are pseudo names but their numbers are correct.
