Zim is now shutting down on its own, says Jonathan Moyo as Ecocash and Econet data services go down

Econet users on Saturday complained about their failure to use the Econet services from Ecocash to Data services.

Online magazine Techmag said the following service were confirmed not working

• Data/Internet services
• USSD services
• Steward Bank App
• EcoCash Data App
• Yomix

A angry Econet user Zenzele Ndebele posted on Twitter saying,” Dear @EcoCashZW .i spent the whole morning in a fuel queue, i get to the pump your ecocash platform is down. I can’t buy fuel after wasting 4hrs in a queue.”

Professor Jonathan Moyo said Zimbabwe was shutting down on its own.

Because it's been on autopilot, things are beginning to happen on their own in Zimbabwe with a growing risk of disaster. After self-dollarisation, Zimbabwe is now shutting down on its own. The communication sector is dying. Folks can’t use ecocash, can’t make calls or use data! https://t.co/x8jxWwGjRu
