The local authority took to social media this morning to share the official exchange rates between the US Dollar and the Zig, as well as the South African Rand and the Zig.

According to the announcement, the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the Zig has been set at US$1 to Zig13.5348. Additionally, the exchange rate between the US Dollar and the South African Rand has been established at US$1 to ZAR18.6287.
