Finance and Economic Development Minister Mthuli Ncube has pleaded with business not to reject coins and those notes inscribed \u201cbond notes\u201d saying they were still legal tender.<\/p>\n

Ncube was responding to legislators in Parliament on Wednesday after they had complained that traders were rejecting small denominations as well as $2 and $5 notes that were inscribed \u201cbond notes\u201d. Said Ncube:<\/p>\n

We want to make it clear that $2 notes are still legal tender. Perhaps we need to issue a press statement to that effect. But we will be substituting those bond notes with new notes but it is a gradual process.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yesterday the government announced that civil servants and Government pensioners will get an immediate 50 per cent pay rise for the next three months.<\/p>\n

The package also includes a flat non-taxable US dollar-denominated COVID-19 allowances of US$75 a month for each civil servant, regardless of grade, and US$30 a month for Government pensioners.<\/p>\n
