Strive says some municipalities inflated prices by 2,200% after Econet cholera donation

Econet Wireless founder Strive Masiyiwa is not impressed.

In a Facebook comment on a post about the current cholera crisis in Zimbabwe he accused some companies and individuals of trying to exploit the recent announcement by his company of $10m for purchase of materials needed to fight the outbreak:

One of the saddest things that happened last week when Econet announced that it had set aside $10m to help with support to buy medicines and materials, was the number of suppliers, and even officials in some of the affected municipalities who tried to defraud our company by offering things at highly inflated prices!
Gloves worth $3, were suddenly worth $65!
That is just so pathetic!

Yep. You heard it.

He added:

I have told my people to prepare lists of anyone who willfully tries to exploit the situation. After this crisis is over we will go after them on this platform. Naming and shaming them.
