The Morgan Tsvangirai-led faction of the Movement for Democratic Change has warned that Zimbabwe could face a serious cash crisis which could result in shortages of goods and queues for fuel.
In a statement today the party said the crisis has serious implications as the business community is increasing discovering that they cannot pay suppliers when they have ample funds in their banks.
“If this continues, shortages of goods will start appearing and queues might develop for fuel,” it said.
“The reasons are technical and are linked to a sharp decline in confidence in Zimbabwe and fears of an impending collapse. The reasons are linked to the deteriorating political situation and the almost complete failure of the government to get to grips with the infighting in ZANU-PF and rampant corruption in all State controlled spheres of activity.”
