Popular fast food outlet, KFC, has resumed operations in its local restaurants in the country following the temporary shut down in September when RTGS value against the United States dollar jumped to over 500 percent resulting in panic buying.
The company had cited that they were unable to continue trading due to the prevailing current pressure on the country’s economy.
Announcing on their Facebook page yesterday, KFC said;
“We are excited to announce that we will be reopening our restaurants across Zimbabwe today (Friday, 09 November).To our restaurant teams – welcome home.To our loyal customers, we look forward to creating more Finger Lickin’ Good moments with you!”
Following the two percent (2%) tax increase, a number of stores have been compelled to cease operating after essentials such as medicine started running out. Long queues for petrol, bread and other essentials have become the order of the day across the country’s urban areas.
President Mnangagwa recently reported that it was a necessary pain for the country’s economy to recover. He however assured the nation that this was an economic phase that is going to be history soon.
