The government just pegged minimum salary for a gardener at about USD10/month

Zimbabwe’s government has gazetted the minimum salary for domestic servants and it is creepy AF.

The review is as follows: –

• Gardener ZW$160.00 –
• Housekeeper ZW$168.48 –
• Child minder ZW$179.00 –
• Disabled minder with a Red Cross Certificate or equavalent ZW$189.70 –
• Workers in unclassified operations ZW$338.00

The rate being roughly ZWL13 for interbank (or ZWL16 for Econet Bureau De Change) and about ZWL17 for the black market you can see how this looks a mess
