Zanu-PF Secretary for Youths, Pupurai Togarepi accused foreign-owned businesses of fuelling the black market and externalising foreign currency.
He said Zanu-PF youths are going to confront foreign owned businesses and added that those without bank accounts will be chased back to their countries. Said Togarepi:
There are foreigners doing business in the downtown area who are not banking money to local banks. We are going to demand that they bank their money because they are milking all our foreign currency and are putting it on the black market. We suspect that several of them are taking the money to several countries. These people are not accepting Ecocash transfers neither are they accepting our bond notes. They are demanding payments in US Dollars and they are not doing business in a transparent and professional way. They are the same people involved in money laundering because they don’t even have bank accounts.
He also warned people who own commuter omnibuses written ‘GOD GIVEN’ that they risk losing their licenses should they continue not banking their money.
