Popular award winning Zimbabwean journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono, has sparked debate about why Zimbabwean keep huge sums of cash in their homes.
This came after he posted the picture of a man with the caption:
“This man was caught on CCTV breaking into houses on Helensvale Road in Borrowdale last Friday.
US$20,000, phones, laptops and other things were stolen.
He returned last night and attempted more break-ins, but luckily he was disturbed and he escaped.”
Do you know him?
The subject quickly turned into a discussion on why Zimbabweans don’t trust banks.
Below are some of the comments :
Zimbos don’t trust the bank due to ever changing policies. Don’t forget people have had their hard forex forcefully converted several times before
These National Mattress Banks are predominant, households are loaded.

Deroy Mangazva Aaah wangu, zviri mudzimba zvinorema, there’s nowhere safer than keeping it yourself.
Deroy Mangazva you want them to keep it at the bank in Zimbabwe with the way things are!
Deroy Mangazva who keeps his money in zimbabwean banks?
Next thing yu know mthuli announces that your money isn’t working anymore
Deroy Mangazva there is nowhere safe to put it; certainly not our financial institutions!! it is safer in your house than in a bank. That is the sad state of our country now.
In Zimbabwe it’s much much safer to keep your money in the house than to deposit it in the bank.
Due to our financial institutions in Zim which are not functioning properly we keep our dollars under our beds.
