We are a Zimbabwean citizens-driven NGO empowering consumers by promoting and defending their rights through targeted advocacy and awareness campaigns.
Meanwhile could you also be using your systems to assist in the apprehension of those responsible. After all, it is Ecocash that is being used to defraud people. Surely Ecocash cannot stand by. Instead, you should also proactively engage the police and furnish them with info.
Hi @ZimConsumer. Please report the issue to the police for further investigations. We also advise customers to purchase data bundles using *151# and or *143#. ^ON #MaskUp
@EcoCashZW @TinasheBeni Thank you. Please keep us posted on the developments. Given the requirement of KYC, we believe it should be relatively easier to track the fraudsters. Money is flowing through Ecocash into a registered Mycash account within the Zimbabwean banking system.
@econet_support Pls help pple who are being defrauded using the Ecocash platform recover their hard earned cash.
The fraudsters are using tel #s 0788093232 & 0715218908 & purporting to be selling data bundles. After people send money the line never responds to further enquiries.
@EcoCashZW Pls help people who are being defrauded using the Ecocash platform recover their hard earned cash. The fraudsters are using telephone numbers 0788093232 and 0715218908 claiming to sell data bundles.
Once money is paid the line does not respond to further enquiries.
Even in the midst of all the violations and of Covid-19, let us spare a thought for consumers who are oppressed by the ever-rising cost of living. For many Zimbabweans now, even a single meal a day is a huge struggle. The worthless Zim dollar is making their lives even harder.
Below are some of the responses of boys in a Unicef study, when asked about periods. This is why it’s not only important for boys to be taught correct information about periods, but for parents to be also trained how to have period conversations with children
#LetsTalkAboutIt🩸
We know and have experienced the brutality of the state hence we sympathise with @JoanaMamombe@ceechimbiri2 and @MarovaNetsai
lnstead of resolving a lot of social and economic problems bedeviling the country @edmnangagwa government seems to be worsening the problem.
Period pain is not an STI. We received a case whereby a father accused his daughter of sleeping around with boys and further accused her of having an STI, because she complained about period pain. This is one of the reasons why it is important to teach men and boys about periods.
The best way to bring down prices of basic commodities and services is through an all-stakeholders roundtable plus sound economic reforms that widen the cake, bring in investors, create high paying jobs and ensure job security.

Happy MAY/LABOUR DAY

We hope in the years after this workers will have something to celebrate. This year as in the previous 25 years there has been nothing.
Let's join hands in fighting for jobs, decent working conditions and affordable prices.
The availability of dangerous products on online marketplaces is an issue that is being repeatedly raised by consumer groups worldwide.
This time, research conducted by ICRT network on behalf of 6 consumer groups, found that 66% of 250 products tested fail EU safety laws.
We will pursue this matter further with them. Consumers have a non derogable right to quality goods and services. Selling rotten meat is unethical, illegal and unacceptable
@ChickenInnZW
A month ago I ate @ChickenInnZW had one of the most terrible running stomach for days. Raised the issue with them. Today bought another take away, cautiously pealed of that spice coat of theirs, Meat beneath stank rotten to the bone. Am done with them
The big question we ask as consumer advocates is, why had the subsidy been removed in the first place!! Not only is this policy inconsistency, but as in the past, it will be difficult to ensure that the price of mealie meal goes back to its original price @Consumers_Int
13 years ago, Sydney Gata was fired as Chairman & CEO of ZESA for among other things, INCOMPETENCE & CORRUPTION!

He is being received here in Hwange!😂
We have campaigned for data rollover since our birth as an organisation. Gradually, our campaign is beginning to bear fruit. We are still insisting that the cost of data and voice calls should come down. No data should expire.
@econetzimbabwe@NetOneCellular@Telecel_Zim
