Meanwhile could you also be using your systems to assist in the apprehension of those responsible. After all, it is Ecocash that is being used to defraud people. Surely Ecocash cannot stand by. Instead, you should also proactively engage the police and furnish them with info.
Replying to @ZimConsumer
Hi @ZimConsumer. Please report the issue to the police for further investigations. We also advise customers to purchase data bundles using *151# and or *143#. ^ON #MaskUp

@EcoCashZW Pls help people who are being defrauded using the Ecocash platform recover their hard earned cash. The fraudsters are using telephone numbers 0788093232 and 0715218908 claiming to sell data bundles. Once money is paid the line does not respond to further enquiries.

Too much. Very expensive for poor Zimbabweans.
NetOne has released new prices for mobile data and bundles. techzim.co.zw/2020/08/netone…
Even in the midst of all the violations and of Covid-19, let us spare a thought for consumers who are oppressed by the ever-rising cost of living. For many Zimbabweans now, even a single meal a day is a huge struggle. The worthless Zim dollar is making their lives even harder.

Below are some of the responses of boys in a Unicef study, when asked about periods. This is why it’s not only important for boys to be taught correct information about periods, but for parents to be also trained how to have period conversations with children #LetsTalkAboutIt🩸

Period pain is not an STI. We received a case whereby a father accused his daughter of sleeping around with boys and further accused her of having an STI, because she complained about period pain. This is one of the reasons why it is important to teach men and boys about periods.

The best way to bring down prices of basic commodities and services is through an all-stakeholders roundtable plus sound economic reforms that widen the cake, bring in investors, create high paying jobs and ensure job security. @ZctuZimbabwe @Min_of_IC
Happy MAY/LABOUR DAY @ZctuZimbabwe and family We hope in the years after this workers will have something to celebrate. This year as in the previous 25 years there has been nothing. Let's join hands in fighting for jobs, decent working conditions and affordable prices.
Indeed
The availability of dangerous products on online marketplaces is an issue that is being repeatedly raised by consumer groups worldwide. This time, research conducted by ICRT network on behalf of 6 consumer groups, found that 66% of 250 products tested fail EU safety laws.
We will pursue this matter further with them. Consumers have a non derogable right to quality goods and services. Selling rotten meat is unethical, illegal and unacceptable @ChickenInnZW
A month ago I ate @ChickenInnZW had one of the most terrible running stomach for days. Raised the issue with them. Today bought another take away, cautiously pealed of that spice coat of theirs, Meat beneath stank rotten to the bone. Am done with them
Damage has already been done. Why does government keep on shooting itself and consumers on the foot? They always get simple things wrong.
The big question we ask as consumer advocates is, why had the subsidy been removed in the first place!! Not only is this policy inconsistency, but as in the past, it will be difficult to ensure that the price of mealie meal goes back to its original price @Consumers_Int
Another bad decision! We are failing to get the basics right.
13 years ago, Sydney Gata was fired as Chairman & CEO of ZESA for among other things, INCOMPETENCE & CORRUPTION! Today, Energy Minister @fortunechasi & President @edmnangagwa have reappointed him as Executive Chairman of ZESA @ZetdcOfficial. He is being received here in Hwange!😂
Does it mean that the Roil 2l cooking oil is on promotion sir? Or it has gone down?

We have campaigned for data rollover since our birth as an organisation. Gradually, our campaign is beginning to bear fruit. We are still insisting that the cost of data and voice calls should come down. No data should expire. @econetzimbabwe @NetOneCellular @Telecel_Zim
Worried about power cuts and having your data wasted?? Worry not TelOne Broadband has a data roll over plan for you? Visit telone.co.zw and sign up today! #Datarollover #TelYourStory

This is totally unacceptable. Jail is where he belongs
Religion should not continue to be used to sexually abuse women and girls who menstruate. We strongly condemn that, including fallacious claims that period pain is a demon. Menstruation is a normal biological process that should be humanised, and not demonised. #16DaysOfActivism
Very true. And it needs no march. Let's start with what is within our control: corruption.
US Ambassador to Zimbabwe Brian Nichols @usembassyharare says corruption is hurting the country more than sanctions. WATCH & LEARN 👇🏽 youtu.be/_RudQyah7WI
