ZiG quietly faded from real use in 2025. USD usage rose to above 90%, while in the informal sector it is effectively 100% and hardly anyone complained. Yet the RBZ and Treasury still speak of a ZiG monocurrency future, despite the obvious direction of travel in the marketplace.
Elsewhere, governments are cutting fuel taxes to cushion consumers from geopolitically driven price hikes, largely out of concern for inflation. But that immediately raises the harder question: how do they then cover the resulting hole in Treasury revenues? The trade-offs are real and worth unpacking.
Let’s discuss it further today at 3pm on Friday Drinks.

Zambia removes excise duty and zero rates VAT on petrol and diesel for 3 months as a measure to cushion consumers.
In Zambia, 1 litre of petrol and diesel has now increased to US$1.42 and US$1.56 respectively.
This makes Zimbabwe’s fuel over half a dollar more expensive than Zambia’s fuel.
Meanwhile Zimbabwe has not done anything to cushion consumers from the high fuel prices which are selling at above $2 a litre. South Africa is also reducing duties and taxes to cushion South Africans.

BREAKING 🚨: Don’t replace your iPhone when the battery starts draining.
Apple won’t say this out loud…

I tested this myself.
Same iPhone.
Same usage.
Battery jumped from 6 hours → 10 hours just by fixing a few settings.
No new phone.
No paid apps.
No tricks.
Here’s exactly what I changed 👇
