Over 50% of Zimbabwe's pension funds faced dissolution last year – what's really happening in the industry that never recovered from 2008 hyperinflation? Employers deducting contributions but not remitting them? ZiG year-on-year inflation hits historic single digits at 4.1% in January 2026 – but is it real stability? Ranga says: "The universe of things ZiG can buy is getting smaller." Central bank heavy-handed liquidity controls, miners unpaid 30% of dues, and ZiG not fully fungible.
