HARARE, Aug. 7 (Xinhua): Illegal currency dealers have smuggled to Zambia millions of dollars worth of the new Zimbabwean bearer cheques while some unscrupulous traders dumped billions of the old cheques to Mozambicans across the border in exchange for assets, a local newspaper has reported. The Sunday Mail said scores of illegal currency traders in neighbouring South Africa are now stuck with billions of dollars worth of the old Zimbabwean bearer cheques, which, like the duped Mozambicans, they are now finding difficult to repatriate to Zimbabwe.
