Facts of the Case
Background
A South African company supplied goods to a Zimbabwean company on credit, and a director guaranteed the debt. After default, the creditor sued for payment in US dollars. The debt was later acknowledged in an acknowledgment of debt. The central issue was whether the debt was a foreign obligation payable in US dollars or a local obligation convertible to RTGS dollars under new currency regulations.
