By Own Correspondent|I wish to say that Looting Started with Govnt and Business People. The 2% transactional tax is a type of looting. 

Moreover, the Business People who are crying of the effects of looting should know this Shona Adage that “Dindingwe rinokirwa richikweva rimwe as kana rokwevewa roti mavara azara ivhu.”

The Business defied the Govnt policy of Bond1:U$1:RTGS1 and went on to loot our hard earned money/salaries through rating.

It’s very difficult for civil servants to recover from the effects of looting through rating. Most prices in Zimbabwe are pegged in U$ yet Govnt put a blind eye on it while we languish with valueless RTGS.

Ecocash Agents are looting our income through 20- 30% charge when you Cash-out yet government and Econet pretend as if it’s not happening. Furthermore, $1 airtime voucher is now sold for between $1.25-$1.3 is that not looting our hard earned money.

Businesses should not cry of looting because it’s a creature which they created, perpetuated and nurtured. It’s payback time they should swallow the humble and bitter pill. The same losses they are crying is the same we are enduring as hard pressed full time employees.

They should remember that we are enduring months and months without salaries. Take a look at Hwangwe Colliery employees, Local Authority Employees, NRZ …just to mention a few.
