The Food Reserve Agency (FRA) in Solwezi has suspended the sale of maize to the local community following reports that the beneficiaries were reselling the maize at higher prices at Kipushi border post.
Solwezi District Commissioner Albert Chifita confirmed the development, which he attributed to selfishness.
Mr. Chifita said that 1,187 X 50 kg bags of maize were intercepted by security officers at Kipushi border post, loaded on trucks about to be driven for sell in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo.
He said it was sad that some selfish people were selling maize outside the country, when millions of Zambians were in dire need of mealie meal.
Mr. Chifita said he would convene a meetin with the relevant stakeholders to put in place measures to ensure that no bags of maize were exported outside the country any more.

(:| The people are too hungry that they want to capitalize on the cheap sourced maize to earn extra income. Flood the area with maize and they will have no one to demand for it at a higher price >:p

Mwadya Mweka Daddy has created this problem. Dont annoy me so early in the morning Alaa. This is what poverty can do. Why is FRA pretending?

Ka shoe lace
Awe, nakukanila mwaiche. Unganipase maloza. 😮
Find someone your age mwaiche. Wachapesha
**==**==**== let the place be flooded with more maize & avoid this smuggling.
who is this ka shoe lace insulting big pipo? careful youngkid,any they say “pansaka tapabulwa chipuba”, welcome…….
Only those without cassava meal will suffer, that is the reason why people from that area are smuggling to earn extra income coz they know their cassava is there for them!
LACK OF EMPLOYMENT IS CAUSING ALL THIS ,IF PEOPLE WERE IN STABLE JOBS THEY CAN`T BE SMUGGLING AT THE RATE THEY ARE DOING ESPECIALLY THIS TIME.INCHITO NASHAFYA PA ZED KANSHI AKO KENE WASANGA KWIKATISHA
No maize = no smuggling. No maize = starvation. Absolutely brilliant!
guys business is business and why blame the people…to be honest they are just doing what is right especially with people like teta at large…enjoy your weekend people…
Mataba yobe iwe Chifita? Let the pipo do whatever they want with there maize, anywe u r excused cos now zed is hard with Banda balupwa balafwa ku nsala 😕
What is the offence?
Welcome to capitalism!
by stopping the distribution of maize in some parts of solwezi, what does FRA think the people will eat? do they start rationing? nzelu zabasilila maboy.
