Seeing the corrupted "leadership" that Zimbabwe has to offer it's unlikely that any new currency in Zimbabwe will ever be trusted by its citizens. Anyway, I hope them the best though.
Zimbabwe Is Rising Again 🇿🇼
It's a very good move for our brothers and sisters in Zimbabwe, love and best wishes from India 🇮🇳
look😀 who's talking
Will foreign countries recognize the ZiG!? Those that need foreign currency for travels will the banks in Zimbabwe give out forex in exchange for ZiG
You are very stupid
All the best! Hope it goes well with no corruption, and things get better. I want this country to thrive, pray everything goes well. I am skeptical, but hopefully they can do it.

They promise not to over print the new currency. Where have we heard that before? 😔
Am surprised she didn't broadcast in front of a public toilet 😂
History is about to repeat itself
Rubbish
Incoming 😂😂
So has the famous "gold mafia" issue has been resolved? Let's hope so. Let's also hope that a massive dose of integrity, honesty, restraint and good/easy-business policy has been injected into government. Let's also hope that an enormous amount of genuine trust has been infused into Zimbabweans to adopt this zig. But trust is
usuallyalways earned…. Usually there are no shortcuts.Im happy for them. But I'd imagine a gold backed currency will encourage an influx of sophisticated counterfeiters from all over the world.
Most Zim guys need to realize that even US dollar is a printed paper just like a ZiG, it's the trust people put into that paper that matters
Congratulations Zimbabwe. Love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Hope this will spark a trend, remember the gold is the audit, as long as you hold it. Any country that teaches to inavate, invest, and trade, without destroying its currancy or getting into dumb wars will become rich.
Our stumbling block is the illegal money changers that I think has destroyed our currency. This money changers looks like they're working for top politicians and if this is not stopped once and for all, we're not going anywhere as a country. People will have confidence in the currency if the government applies the law of the country to arrest these Illegal money changers like they did a few weeks ago. I'm really excited that at last, we now have our own currency and thanks for the reserve bank governor and the leadership of Zimbabwe for taking this bold step. I'm sure this is my final year working outside Zimbabwe, home sweet home
Good work Zimbabwe
Shame on the west for sanctions on Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe about to get some 'democracy'
you can only counter inflation if central bankster stop dictating their puppet governments to print infinite amounts of money
Makes no sense you still need to change it to USD to trade 😢
They'll need some democracy with that.
Allah bless Zimbabwe
The problem is Zib gold benefits individuals instead of the country
stop listening to US, anything can be recovered and back to normal
US democracy is coming to Zimbabwe soon
