Once ZANU is put on history's ash heap, and I won't be too nice about how I'd get it there, for I figure the deader they are... probably the fastest fix to their money problems would be to adopt the South African Rand, as a stable currency with a stable base. To that end, I'd restrict exports of gold by a third to a half, the government trading for/buying bullion, to build up a gold reserve for the currency and strengthen faith in money again. Right now in Z they haven't any at all, and with ample reason. Some gold would still be exported for the sake of foreign exchange and hard-currency getting.
