This #bondnotes thing has naughty landlords looking at tenants thinking how they wish they pay rent in "kind" instead this month

Just hoping these #BondNotes are the straw that breaks the camels back and instead lead to the change we need! #changeiscoming

Zimbabweans sense of humour in the midst of a socio-economic catastrophe :
US$5 + Bond Note 5 = 10 Bollars!

Not a currency says RBZ. Sure looks like a currency to me. All the features are there. Oh ya, except it won't hold any value. #BondNotes pic.twitter.com/obyNbnbuzl

According to @HeraldZimbabwe, "the majority of people" are optimistic that bond notes will solve the cash crisis.
