Mnangagwa speaks on where bond notes where printed

Responding to a question in the National Assembly from Binga North MP, Prince Dubeko Sibanda (MDC-T), who wanted to know if the government would not end up printing bond notes in excess of the $200 million Afrexim Bank facility, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa refused to disclose to Parliament where bond notes are being printed, telling MPs to speculate if they want to.

Mnangagwa also told opposition legislators that anyone who was not comfortable with the bond notes was free to use any currency of their choice, saying:

MPs should not be worried because government will restrict itself to the amount of bond notes anchored on the $200 million facility. Those of us who feel uncomfortable using bond notes should continue using the United States dollar because bond notes and US dollars are interchangeable. If you have no faith in bond notes, why not continue using the currency that you have faith in?
