Mhoro! Let's Dive Into Zimbabwe's Currency Rollercoaster
If you're from Zimbabwe and living in South Africa, you know our homeland's economy has been like a kombi ride - bumpy and unpredictable. Remember the time when we had to ditch the Zimbabwean dollar in 2009? Since then, it’s been a mash-up of different currencies, making it important to keep an eye on those exchange rates.
Why Exchange Rates Matter to Us
Exchange rates are the heartbeat of our remittances. They decide how many groceries, school fees, or emergency funds our families back home receive. One wrong move and your hard-earned Rands could lose their strength by the time they reach home.
Official vs. Kombi Lane Rates
In Zimbabwe, we have two tracks: the official rates, like the highway, set by the government and formal banks. Then there's the kombi lane – the parallel market. It might offer more bang for your buck, but it's riskier, like overtaking on a blind curve.
Please read our article on why you should avoid sending money through the black market.
