[BBC Africa] Some Zimbabweans have been sharing photos on Twitter this week of a vendor in the centre of the capital, Harare, who is dressed as a graduate.
They say it a sign of how far the economy has deteriorated. With unemployment at more than 90%, many Zimbabweans have become vendors and rely on cross-border trading to make a living.
It has spawned the hashtag #thisgown – a reference to the#ThisFlag campaign which was launched by Zimbabwean Pastor Evan Mawarire a few months ago to demand accountability from the government.
#ThisFlag backed a stay-at-home strike earlier this month, one of the largest anti-government protests in years.
Mr Mawarire was arrested in the wake of the stay away, but released when a court threw out the charges after his lawyers successfully argued he would not get a fair trial.
He is now in South Africa with his family.
