Spar Supervisor Accused Of Rejecting ZiG Notes For Bread

A supervisor at a Spar Supermarket in Harare was last week arraigned before a magistrate for allegedly refusing to accept payment in Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) notes from a customer.

Panashe Takavarasha (37) appeared before Harare magistrate Caroline Matanga facing two counts of contravening the Reserve Bank Act and was remanded on free bail, reported The Herald.

On Count One, the complainant is Precious Gracia Ngwenya while on Count Two, the complainant is Sydney Chatora.

Allegations are that on June 16 2024, at around 3 PM, Chatora went to Spar Supermarket Market Square intending to buy a loaf of bread using the ZIG.

However, just as Chatora was preparing to pay for the bread, he was informed that the Spar grocery store would only accept payment in United States Dollars for the purchase of bread and that the local ZiG currency could not be used to complete the transaction.

Chatora pleaded with Takavarasha who allegedly insisted that Spar does not accept ZIG as payment for bread and that customers could buy bread with only United States dollars.

Chatora left the supermarket in frustration and reported the matter at the Market Square Police Post leading to Takavarasha’s arrest.

Government is doing enough about protect their Zig... They should take note that most of these retailers are playing tricks with their minds. Retailers now have Zig cash counters or swipe. but when it comes to swipe or eco cash they always tell you that network is done. they don't literally reject Zig but they literally tell you network is down for zig. even big retailers they do that.... Government should introduce toll free numbers or free sms number then when customers encounter such you just make report on that number. Wake up imi we can't tell you everything

Zig raingofanirwa kuperera pacoin macoin acho achigumira pa 10 zig. MaUSD ari muvanhu and 80 % of transaction are in USD. Tax payers are contributing enough to sustain the economy. We know the real sanctions affecting us- Chivayo and company squandering tax payers money. So alarming!!! The so called sanctions is actually corruption. We only need zig as change and to buy goods and services that cost less than 1US$

this is the funny thing about our country where we have individuals being treated as if they own what they represent, same as politicians who think they own the country and the people, and the courts do not see beyond the person
