The operational changes are effective from today.

“The ZSE circuit breakers for all counters with a market price which is below the ZWL equivalent of USD0.01 will be restated back to ±100% from the current ±20%,” he said.

“As at 29 August 2023 the below counters will be affected with these changes subject to a weekly review, Ariston Holdings Limited o Bridgefort Capital Limited, Bridgefort Capital Limited Class B, General Beltings Holdings Limited, Getbucks Microfinance Bank Limited, National Tyre Services Limited, Starafricacorporation Limited, Truworths Limited, Turnall Holdings Limited, Willdale Limited, Zeco Holdings Limited and Zimbabwe Newspapers (1980) Limited – Harare
