Zimbabwe banks on gold to beat dollar blues
Zimbabwe's Reserve Bank aims to stabilize the economy through new monetary policies. Deputy Governor Innocent Matshe spoke at a mining conference in Victoria Falls recently.

Highserv Payscheme strongly disputes these claims. They say the city cancelled...
