WHAT can you buy with US$10 000 cash in Harare?
Maybe a commercial stand in Southlea Park, a Toyota Forklift, a three hundred square metres residential stand in Budiriro or a second-hand kombi.
You could also buy two Japanese second hand cars.
There are a lot of things which US$10 000 can buy you.
Well, for a woman in Harare, this was what she received as a bouquet of ‘flowers,’ as a Valentine’s Day present.
It was a very special and unique present.
What looked like flowers were in fact crisp US$100 notes.
There were one thousand notes which meant that the bouquet was worth a cool US$10 000.
But how does it compare with other Valentine gifts around the world?
Here are some of them:
