The ZiG currency was unveiled on Friday by the new Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) governor, John Mushayavanhu.

Following the introduction of the new currency, ZESA temporarily suspended electricity token sales in the local currency to facilitate the changeover to the ZiG currency.

As a result, during the transitional period, the electricity company resorted to exclusively selling electricity tokens in USD.

“Please note that our conversion to ZiG is still underway. In the interim, all customers can purchase tokens using USD currency or pay their bills in USD at ZETDC banking halls countrywide and through online platforms,” ZESA informed its customers .
