Zimbabwe's Fading Card in a Cashless World
Zimbabwe's struggle to adapt to a cashless world is evident in the experience of Fungai Moyo, who finds his iPhone's Apple Pay feature useless upon returning to Harare from a business trip to Johannesburg.
AMH, an independent media house, reports on this issue through its various publications, including The Zimbabwe Independent, The Standard, Southern, and NewsDay.
The future of payments "switches off the moment I touch down" in Harare, says Moyo, highlighting the country's slow transition to digital payments.
Moyo's wallet, still filled with plastic cards, symbolizes the nation's reliance on traditional payment methods, despite global trends indicating a shift towards cashless transactions.
