1/2 *📰 History Of Zimbabwe’s Economic Collapse* 🇿🇼 *1997 – $50000 TO WAR VETS WITHOUT BUDGET.* War veterans hold a serthxies of protests against Mugabe, pressing for gratuities and pensions. Mugabe buckles, and orders Finance Minister Herbert Murerwa to dole out ZW$50,000 each to over 50,000 war veterans. Total bill =ZW$3.5 billion. None of it is in the budget. Mugabe dismisses concerns, including from Murerwa, that the spending will bankrupt the economy. 🇿🇼 *CHAOTIC LAND GRAB.* The Government announces its intention to list more than 1,400 farms, many of them productive, for redistribution to landless blacks. The IMF and other donors threaten to pull out. 🇿🇼 *FISCAL INDISCIPLINE.* spread that foreign reserves are down to just a month’s worth of imports. Speculators, panicked by the flurry of bad news, start stocking up on US dollars. Desperate, the Government injects US$15 million to try and prop up the economy but its too late. 🇿🇼 *BLACK FRIDAY.* November 14, the Zimbabwe dollar plunges 72%. The stock market crashes 46%. That same day, by coincidence, there is a national blackout. The day comes to be known as “Black Friday”. In the aftermath, Government orders companies to shut down their foreign currency accounts, hoping the flow of US dollars onto the market will put brakes on the Zimdollar’s slide. But it has the opposite effect; confidence collapses even further, as does the stock market and the Zimdollar itself. Investors head for the exits. McDonalds, the US fast food giant, abandons plans to open its first outlet in Zimbabwe. 🇿🇼 *1998 – NATIONWIDE RIOTS.* Riots hit the country in January after the price of basic goods rises by up to 50 percent, blamed on the collapse of the Zimdollar. Maize meal prices rise by 45% within a week. Army is deployed for the first time in years to quell the riots. “They will not hesitate to shoot,” Home Affairs Minister Dumiso Dabengwa warns. 🇿🇼 *1998 - DRC WAR.* Government introduces price controls and a range of tariffs on imports. In August, Zimbabwe enters the DRC war. Some estimates said the country spent US$1m a day to fund the war, further weakening the local currency. 🇿🇼 *1999 – FOREX SHORTAGES* Zimbabwe runs out of forex. Zimbabwe has defaulted on most of its foreign debt by mid-year. The IMF finally confirms its intention to withdraw funding. This leads to further exchange controls. The Government fixes the Zimdollar rate at $38 to USD way above its true value. 🇿🇼 *2000 – CABINET RESHUFFLING* Murerwa is reshuffled out. On August 1, new Finance Minister, Simba Makoni, bows to market pressure and devalues the Zimdollar to $55 to the USDollar, still lower than the parallel market rate of $60 for a USDollar. In the same week, unions, businesses and activists stage a nationwide stay away to protest the economic crisis. 🇿🇼 *2001 — RBZ PRINTING MONEY* A $500 note is issued, and is followed by another different $500 note within weeks. A $5 coin is also introduced. 🇿🇼 *2002 – MAKONI FIRED.* Mugabe rejects Makoni’s pleas for further devaluation. “Devaluation is sinister and can only be advocated for by our saboteurs and enemies of this government,” Mugabe tells him. Makoni is soon fired, and Murerwa is reappointed. Government shuts down all bureaux de change, accusing them of being “conduits” of illegal forex trade. 🇿🇼 *2002 IMF SUSPENSION* In June, the IMF suspends technical assistance to Zimbabwe because of arrears amounting to US$132 million. This had nothing to do with SANCTIONS. 🇿🇼 *2003 – RBZ PRINTS TRAVELLERS CHEQUE.* The RBZ introduces what it calls traveller’s cheques, in denominations of $1,000, $5,000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000 to $100,000. Zanu PF loots a lot of travellers cheques from RBZ. They are hugely unpopular and are soon quietly phased out.

Is this true @ZBCNewsonline @ZBCZW @nickmangwana ? If so can we take it that it is now legal for Zimbabwean citizens to use @Starlink @elonmusk ? When are the necessary approvals going to be granted for local Zimbabwean licenses to be issued to Starlink ? Would @Starlink itself like to comment on when it intends opening up #Zimbabwe ?

There’s so much power in believing that everything will work out.

Be comfortable with being alone. It will empower you.

Keep things to yourself. They can't ruin what they don't know.

Focus on one thing. Complete it. Move to the next.

Sometimes growth requires new mindsets, new habits, new people and new locations.

Be obsessed with improving yourself.
