In an update just released the retail giant said stores had half their normal stock.

• 4 Stores in Harare closed, and other closures may follow due to high costs.
• OK is looking at new procurement models to restock
• RBZ lifted some exchange rate controls, but a fully market-determined exchange rate is what’s needed.
