There was a massive spike in parallel market rates yesterday during the later part of the day. The spike was so big that some foreign currency dealers suspended trading yesterday as they waited for the market to correct itself after a single USD started trading for north of 6 RTGS$, a massive premium of well over 500 percent.

Below is a compilation of the rates according to different sources.
