A former Chitungwiza Municipality employee was stunned when he was informed that the US$5,156.95 owed to him after his contract was terminated in August 2015 has now been reduced to a mere ZiG2.06 due to currency conversion over the years.
In a letter dated November 5, 2024, from Chitungwiza Municipality’s finance director, Evangelista Machona, the former employee was advised that the transition from USD to RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) and now to the gold-backed Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) currency has devalued the amount owed.
The letter, which was leaked to the press, says that the original US$5,156.95 is now worth ZiG2.06 after a series of currency shifts.
Responding to the former employee’s letter dated October 15, 2024, Machona outlined the timeline of currency conversions.
She explained that in February 2019, Zimbabwe transitioned from the US dollar to RTGS at a rate of 1:1, meaning the US$5,156.95 became RTGS5,156.95.
Then, on April 5, 2024, the RTGS amount was converted to ZiG at a rate of 1:2498.7242, resulting in the final amount of ZiG2.06. The letter reads in part:
<blockquote>
You were owed US$5 156.95 when your contract with Council was terminated in August 2015.
Please be advised that in February 2019 there was a transition from USD to RTGS at a rate of 1:1 which meant that US$5156.95 became RTGS 5156.95.
The RTGS 5156.95 was then converted to ZIG on 5 April 2024 at a rate of 1:2498.7242 and it became 2.06 ZIG.
Council now owes you ZIG 2.06.
</blockquote>
Millions of Zimbabweans have seen their hard-earned savings wiped out over the years due to frequent and dramatic currency changes.
This erosion of value has led to a deepening mistrust in local currencies, pushing many Zimbabweans to prefer using foreign currencies like the US dollar for everyday transactions.
The recent introduction of the ZiG currency in 2024 was hoped to restore confidence, but it is still struggling to gain traction with the public.
Despite being pegged to gold reserves, the ZiG has yet to inspire the same level of trust as foreign currencies, leaving many sceptical about its stability and long-term viability.
As a result, Zimbabweans continue to rely heavily on the US dollar, reflecting a broader lack of faith in the country’s monetary system.

A man used to work for Chitungwiza Municipality and was owed $5,156.95 in US dollars after his job ended in 2015. However, due to currency changes over the years, this amount was reduced to just ZiG2.06, which is not a lot of money. Many people in Zimbabwe have also lost money because of currency changes, making it hard for people to trust their own money. Even though they have a new currency called ZiG backed by gold, people are still unsure about its worth and are more comfortable using US dollars for their purchases.

Chitungwiza Ex-Employee's US$5,000 Salary Arrears Reduced To Just ZiG2.06 After Currency Conversion

A High Court judge has dismissed an application by a local pensioner, Duncan Hugh Cocksedge, who was seeking reimbursement of his US$179 541 by CABS.
<a href="https://www.zimlive.com/judge-dismisses-depositors-us179000-debt-claim-from-cabs/">ZimLive</a> reported that Cocksedge approached the courts for redress after his US$179 000 bank balance which was being held in a CABS account was wholly converted to local currency through the government’s Exchange Control Directive RT120/2018.
In his ruling, Justice Webster Chinamhora averred that it was not for the courts to change “political questions”.
The judge stated that the regulation of banking activities to achieve economic stability and protect the banking public was the prerogative of the Executive. He said:
<blockquote>
Put differently, how the government makes policies aimed to achieve monetary stability and incentivise the generation of foreign exchange in the national interest is a political question, best left to the politicians.
Courts in this jurisdiction are familiar with the political questions doctrine and how to deal with a case where this arises.
No basis exists, in my view, for not deferring to the minister who made the policy decision on behalf of the Executive.
</blockquote>
The judge also said Cocksedge had not shown his court that the deposit in his account was realised from offshore or foreign currency cash deposits. He added:
<blockquote>
The applicant has not shown that the provisions of the Exchange Control Directive RT120/2018 and the Finance (No.2) Act 2019 are not laws of general application.
As a result, I do not find any merit in the applicant’s argument and am inclined to dismiss his application.
</blockquote>
Cocksedge’s claim was for reimbursement of his US$179 541 by CABS.
In his alternative claim, Cocksedge said the conduct of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) and the Finance Minister was “unlawful, grossly unreasonable and irrational”.
He said the changes in law, effectively amount to unlawful and unconstitutional expropriation of value.
CABS did not dispute that Cocksedge had deposited US$179 541.45 before February 2023.
It said its banking services are regulated by RBZ adding that it had no disputes with the latter.
The central bank argued that Cocksedge had no right to challenge the provisions of the Exchange Control Directive.
It said CABS had acted according to the law and as such, Cocksedge could not try to impugn a lawful act.
The Minister of Finance Mthuli Ncube argued that the Exchange Control Directive does not take away Cocksedges rights.
In his application, Cocksedge had cited CABS as the first respondent and the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe as the second respondent.

High Court Judge Dismisses Depositor’s US$179 000 Debt Claim From CABS

Harare East MP Tendai Biti (CCC) says Parliament has been sidelined in key decisions that affect the country’s economic policies with existing laws giving more powers to the President and the Finance Minister.
Biti, who is a lawyer and former Finance Minister this week said parliamentarians should take back powers to act on policies that affect the economy as they have consequences for millions of people, mainly pensioners. <a href="https://businesstimes.co.zw/parly-bystanders-on-economic-decisions/">Business Times</a> quoted Biti as saying:
<blockquote>
The majority and by far the majority of laws affecting the economy in Zimbabwe have not been made by Parliament but through Statutory Instruments.
Some of them by the President using the Presidential Powers (Temporary Measures) Act.
Parliament has been reduced to being an innocent bystander. They are laws used to bypass Parliament.
We are watching from the terraces as Parliament.
</blockquote>
Biti said the recent ruling in the High Court on the conversion of US dollar balances to RTGS following currency reforms a few years ago will benefit many if confirmed by the Constitutional Court.
High Court judge Justice Martin Mafusire recently ordered the Central Africa Building Society (CABS) bank to pay an architectural company, Stone/Beatie Studio US$142 000 deposited in its business account.
Biti represented business partners Penelope Douglas Stone and Richard Harold Stuart Beatie in the case, where CABS, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ), and the Ministry of Finance were the first respondent, second respondent, and third respondent, respectively. Said Biti:
<blockquote>
However, all balances that were in US$ became RTGS immediately and this meant, anyone with a bank account with US$ suddenly became a holder of a local currency account.
My clients said no, we deposited US$ and suddenly we cannot have a creature called the RTGS.
The case they presented in court was that if we leave you with my cow and ask you to look after it, you cannot give me a goat in return or mangoes.
Many Zimbabweans were saying the same thing. The court then ruled to say a cow is a cow.
</blockquote>
Biti said to support their case, they attached a press statement by President Emmerson Mnangagwa in May 2022 that said people had to be compensated.
He said the judgement is now awaiting the Constitutional Court to confirm it and once done, a lot of people affected, mainly pensioners will benefit. Biti said:
<blockquote>
We had pensions paid in US$. They (pensioners) woke up receiving RTGS balances and this judgement, if it is confirmed by the Constitutional Court, will benefit them tremendously.
There are people who made investments and bought shares in US$, this judgement will help them, and it will help a lot of people.
There are people who have been paying US$ pensions since 2009, they will also benefit.
