full shelves again soon?

From The Associated Press, 1 October

Chronic shortages to end this month, says Zimbabwe central bank governor Gono

Harare - The state central bank announced measures Monday that it said would help to restock empty store shelves by the end of the month. (...) "I leave you with a promise most basic goods should and will return to the shelves in the next three weeks," Reserve Bank Governor Gideon Gono said on state television. Gono said the bank also planned to change the nation's currency, striking more zeros off bank notes for the second time since August of last year.

Let's see if we have to find out that washing powder and pool acid are considered basic goods. I hope not.
