ZiG, What You Won't RiG

By Ndaba Sibanda

You land on the backdrop of mad money laundering, massive gold
smuggling, failed fooling notes, volatility and scant gold reserves.

Zimbabwe Gold, behold, don’t be another old odd story
that gets sold or rolled corruptly over rotten hands that hold.

They name you ZiG, not RiG but your wig will zigzag into stupor
if they aren’t bold and fail to uphold basic fiscal values, we warn!

Dosh, the fact that you’ve discarded the deteriorating, disastrous
and disappointing Zimbabwean dollar into the bin of history isn’t ultimate.

ZiG, you won’t RiG the economy: it’s a harsh fact, yet we can only judge
your clout, credibility and worth after you have been tested and tasted.

. Forgive us for being cynical and cautious for the stinks of the gold mafia,
a series of shortages, corruption and inflation are still toxic in our mouths.
