WATERLOO, Canada — Disillusioned Zimbabweans are facing a new wave of price increases that will put the most basic of food essentials even further out of their reach.
On the streets of Harare, a loaf of bread costs the equivalent of what a dozen new cars would have cost a decade ago, when factoring current consumer price indicators and inflation figures.
With public wages largely remaining unchanged, up to 3 million Zimbabweans have been forced to take up menial jobs in neighboring South Africa in recent years to support their families back home.
