Social media has met the goats-for-fees idea with a mixture of scorn and gallows humour.
Zimbabwean novelist Tsitsi Dangarembga tweeted "If we had been told in 1970 'We are fighting to introduce cattle and goats as currency. Please help & die for this' what would we have said?".
while another Twitter user - recognising the fact that not all farm animals are born equal - asked "Can I get a job as a goat evaluator?"
