“The National Incomes and Pricing Commission (NIPC) has approved a new set of prices for selected basic commodities as it moves to ensure products are readily available on the formal market”.
New prices of selected basic commodities:
750ml bottle cooking oil $9.3 million
1 litre cooking oil $2.3 million
2kg Brown sugar $3.7 million
1kg white sugar $4 million
2kg white sugar $8 million
1kg Economy Beef $16.8 million
1kg Commercial Beef $21 million
1kg Super Grade Beef $25.2 million
Welcome to Zimbabwe,
One kilogram Pork $19.5 million
Chicken $15.9 million
Cell phone charges $300 000.00 per minute
300ml sparkling mineral drink $1.6 million
50kg bag Portland cement $93.2 million.
When the government introduced these price controls in Zimbabwe, they were meant to help the long suffering citizens of our land of milk and honey. Did they achieve anything near their intentions? Do price controls work? NO!
But somebody wants us to believe they work.
The truth is, the economic situation has been made worse by these price controls. Yet we blame everyone else but ourselves for our problems. There is a severe shortage of basic commodities in the country. The majority of the people are suffering whilst only a few enjoy all the milk and honey. Have they no shame! Not at all, they feed their souls with the suffering of other people. God have mercy!
Who benefits from the shortages? It’s not everyone who is suffering. Life now depends on who you know; it depends on whether you are connected and to the right people.
But what will those who are not connected do?
