RBZ bosses suspension laudable, but …

YESTERDAY’S suspension of four senior Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) directors fingered in fuelling the parallel market rates between the United States dollar and the bond notes, which has resulted in basic commodity prices skyrocketing and in short supply, is an opportunity for government and law enforcement agents to dig deeper to the bottom of this mess. We applaud RBZ governor John Mangudya for his swift action.

While we believe the suspensions were sensible at this time, we do not want to believe that it had to take William Mutumanje, also know as Acie Lumumba, to expose this rot, especially with the kind of State security apparatuses that Zimbabwe boasts of.
