The government of Zimbabwe, in an attempt to mitigate the impact of the recent devaluation of the ZiG, has announced that salary raises and an annual bonus for civil servants in the country will be paid in US dollars.
According to the Minister of Public Service, Labour, and Social Welfare, July Moyo, the move by the government is aimed at uplifting lower-income employees from inflation and widespread poverty.
