Zimbos - A resilient lot
The Zimbabwean government this week introduced price cuts to most products and commodities.
With the news of price cuts hitting many homes, more and more people flocked to the supermarkets nearest to them, thus began long and winding queues. In the twinkling of an eye, rice, soap, flour, drinks and many other commodities disappeared from shelves as Zimbos went on a shopping orgy.
However, this new phenomenon has brought in the unexpected; supermarkets have stopped restocking and most shop shelves are empty. Long and winding queues have resurfaced as people wait patiently for the few available items in the supermarkets. One shopper retorted, "expensive and available is better than cheap and unavailable."
Be that as it may Zimbos from all walks of life continue to demostrate unfettered resiliency.
