Zimra sabotaging ZiG, says MP

A LEGISLATOR has accused the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority (Zimra) of undermining the Zimbabwe Gold currency (ZiG) after the tax agency pegged prices for goods it is auctioning exclusively in United States dollars.

Recently, Zimra advertised that it would auction off equipment from its offices in Bulawayo and Victoria Falls but said that would only accept payment in the greenback.

This riled Discent Bajila, the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) MP for Emakhandeni-Luveve, who accused the tax agency of undermining confidence in the country’s new currency.
