Below are the new salaries agreed upon by Cabinet:

  • Gardener – ZW$160.00 –

  • Workers in unclassified operations – ZW$338.00

Prices of commodities and basic services have been on a continual sharp rise for the past 24 months.

The inflation is attributed to a number of issues including the scarcity of foreign currency, a deficit in fuel, power cuts, collapsed local industry and market distortions.
