Right, so I got the dreaded call this morning to ask if I could postpone my trip to next year..........

Basically, Zimbabwe is launching their new currency either late this week, or early next week.
I was told that card is the way to go, and if you know a local and can give them cash, then use an EcoCash card, otherwise the exchange rate is around Zim$ 20 : US$ 1. That is IF you can get cash. But for now, there is a dire shortage of US$ hence the fact that my Client cannot pay me, nor pay for imports until this mess is sorted.
SO, we will wait and see and transpires.
