Below is the statement :

2/4 – This is due to the current poor condition of bank notes we had that cannot be processed through the machines efficiently.

3/4 – You are assured of getting cash in the meantime over the counter from all our branches.

4/4 – The situation should normalise during the course of this week as we have sourced better quality notes. by Thobekile Zhou.- Source-bulawayo24
