To the left, a bin was pictured with useless bearer's cheques mixed with rubbish , ready to be burnt as gabbage. To the right is a man struggling to handle his money but the money is not enough to help him pull through the whole month. (images from google).

It is nolonger surprising to see someone stealing a paperbag leaving bundles of bearer's cheques। Yes the paperbag has become very important, more valuable than billions of dollars in Zimbabwe. Suddenly everyone has to become a farmer in order to use "Special Agro Cheques" even to buy a plate of Sadza and vegetables,the cheapest meal that you can find in a restaurent. A wrecked economy so to say. It is a crime to burn money but if those guys from city council really want to be honest with us, they have so far burnt billions of dollars which they get in bins every morning. If one moves around the city in the morning just to check what would have been deposited in rubish bins during the night, that person will discover that every bin contains some cheques.
At first, people laid the blame on the Reserve bank governor Dr Gedieon Gono, but i have a different opinion altogether. Dont you think that the inflation is nolonger caused by the markert forces, it is now physchological driven. Everyone want to get bumber profits per every commodity that he gets. Surely its unjustfied to buy a shirt which cost around 90 billion dollars.
In shona a saying that "Mari marara" would mean a rich man but today it can be a true reflection of our money. If you find it in bins and no one eager to pick it and place it in the wallets then what can we say besides "mari ava marara?
