THE cash shortage being experienced in the economy is threatening to scuttle the 24 tonnes gold target that the government set for this year. Latest figures from Fidelity Printers and Refiners, the sole buyer of the country’s bullion, indicate that Zimbabwe received 9,6 tonnes of gold for the half year ending 30 June. The figure is a 15 percent increase from last year’s 8,1 tonnes. Despite the increase in deliveries compared to last year, this year’s figure falls short of the average six tonnes per quarter needed to achieve the target set by the Government.
