The Copperbelt Veterinary Office has impounded a truck carrying rotten beef carcasses worth K45 million from the Senanga Abattoir in Western Province destined for the pots of the consumers in Kitwe.
Provincial Veterinary Officer Dr. Alisheke Mutemwa told ZANIS at the disposal site in Ndola that he wondered how the truck managed to pass through all the police road blocks with smelling carcasses all the way from Senanga through Mongu to Ndola enroute to Kitwe.
He said the truck was impounded yesterday and that the rotten cattle carcasses were a risk to public health and wondered why the transporter agreed to ferry the carcasses when the truck’s refrigeration was not working.
He said it was bad business practice to allow rotten cattle carcasses to be transported from one place to another without following the right procedures.
He said the impounded truck might just be a tip of an iceberg, as the meat company connected had been a culprit of ill practices on many occasions in the past.
The driver of the Scania Truck in question ABL 4234, Mutafela Nyambe told ZANIS that he was instructed to ferry the cattle carcasses to the Copperbelt because they were going to waste and needed to be disposed of quickly.
He said the owner of the meat knew that it was not right to keep the carcasses in a cold room that was not working.
He said his office would step up efforts to curb the scourge to protect citizens from health hazards.

This is really disturbing, people must be honest please, lets not kill ourselves
Telesi Pili, shani mbuya? Zo ona mwandi this news is disturbing. Who do they want to feed with that?
The owner of the truck knew about the status of beef. Any vet doctor here to elaborate the dangers of such an act, shouldnt this man be in jail by now, I think this is a near act of genocide.
Brand new IG please bounce on this man, Justice will prevail fas as we read a few days ago.
Nitu ma Choncholi obviously.
Ba Chale, shani mukwai. This happens in most parts of the world, all for the love of $1. Profit profit profit is where these people focus on, they cannot see beyond the horizons on their own pockets later on consider the health and lives of those innocently consuming their products. Oe wonders where their morales have escaped to.
Nine Chale why ama comment monse monse, fimbi mwalekafye fyaipitilafye tata, anyway this story is a very disturbing one and should be condermed in all respect
I mean (Nine Chale) you comment from condoms to politics,from social science to natural science, ya shani? you are every where, when do you give your time to your family? if i may ask. Please reserve some topics for others to comment
Manyai kwa makuku! Hamu tafunelele feela bitunula bwa nama bweo kapa mwa bulawa ki kashimani ka nalolo onafa.
Here is an extract from some FAQS on health.
Q. Can on cook rotten meat.
A. No. The problem is not just the bacteria in the meat – cooking usually can take care of that. However, the bacteria can produce toxins that even cooking cannot get rid of. Often, the effects from the toxins are worse than from the bacteria themselves. (For example: one especially bad form of food poisoning, botulism, is caused by bacteria toxins, not the actual bacteria).
Therefore this man transporting this meat to innocent lives must be jailed for not less than 5 years with hard labour, and if it was sold 25 years.

Shame bo ndate, how do you manage to sell the rotten cattle carcasses to the Copperbelt Province?
Please watch out you people CB Province, change for veges next will sell you Opani meat.
Vote for H H amn with good plans for Veterinary Dept
Ba Zimandola tata nemwe, you should know that it’s snowing heavily in Germany and I miss home so much. The only place I feel warm and happy is at LT. But anyhow, mwandi you’re right…let me dedicate the afternoon to the family before they start complaining. See you tonight.
It could be survival pa Zed?
Vote for H H man of peace and good economical plans
HH has a big herd of cattle, who knows he could be part of the syndicate to increase his billions. These politicians will do anything to earn money. We also here that he is part of Trans-Saharan Trading (TST) crude oil if not the main player. Lets not include these crooks in such topics but look for a new breed on honest zedians to manage our beautiful and peaceful country.
Hey Tracey
Can I borrow you name for a second.
You lozi people, you have refused foreaigners in your areas and you are now going in the territory of the bemba they will work on you.
Job weldone vet.
#15
Why?
#17
I will let you know after I have used it.
#14 jealous down.H H managed to earn all what he has through hard working.
The story about the rotten cattle carcasses for CB prov, this could be just this concept survival ni kondo.
This is now confirmed that it was a truck belonging to PF Chairman Micheal C. SATA.He kept the cattle carcasses awaiting the results of his Lost victory 2008 presidential elections.Now his plan was to sell and some to be given to his street boys and girls for free as appreciation.
Viva H H man who does not support dirty business pa Zed.
Thank God the truck was stoped before delivering the rotten meat to its destination,pantu the next news headline was go to be Cholera in the Copperbelt.Ba police why did you allow the truck to pass freely on the road blocks.anyway let me not blame you coz if you were paid nicely there is no way you could have got the money from the truck driver.I will blame the goverment for not paying you well.
#18
mmmm! Ok lets give it a try hope you are not malicious, I like to keep my name very clean at all times.
Stop talking about individuals you plums!
One Zambia one Nation. We are talking about that man from Western who wated to sell rotten meat. Ala!
Iwe # 13. Livingstone na HH wako. Your HH will never be in a ruling goverment for as long as there is no pack between the two main oppostion parties. Take this seruously. You will just keep dreaming about governing. Tell you HH to form a pack victory will be assured. Start talking now. you have two years to come up with a pact which both parties can agree to.
# 13 you must remember that HH did very badly during the last election i dont see him doing well 2011. Stop splitting votes. bring your votes together as oppossition parties, win the elections and then come bring your good ideas when you are in goverment. with out this you people will make us just be stack with MMD and nyama soya. Think about it guys!!!!
Tracey Phiri you sound pretty. is it true? where you?
so high to believe………….
Hey not the one who has just borrowed the name
#23 thankyou, so you also feel the same for H H to be Zed presido?He’s my model please and forming a pack with PF is not a solution for H H, he need young and well committed men and women to govern Zed programmes 2011.But at the moment we have to give respect and chance to RB72 a he is the well sworn in Zed Presido 2008 to 20011.
History for the BANDA family, so nice ha?
Viva H H man who will one day deliver Zed 2011
#25
Am in Zambia of course. Good to meet you and no further questions sir. Cheers and have a lovely day.
21.
The point I was trying to put across is that we should not let passersby like Lord of the Flies to distract us in life and on this blog to get on with whatever we want to achieve. Gal you have good pionts and keep the coming. Who knows maybe you are the one who is going to change our lovely country for the better. What Passersby can do or say can make us not want we to achieve great things in life.
Lord of the Flies
Is Sata and HH still standing in 2011?
4th last question!!Zambia is big tracey. which part?
ba number # 31.Question…….the answer is yes these vote spilters are standing. No wonder we want them to put their each wanting to be president wish aside and agree who between them stands.
31. Question
Why not!
Do You want to stand as well?
ba number # 31.Question…….the answer is yes these vote spilters are standing. No wonder we want them to put their each wanting to be president wish aside and agree who between them stands.
iwe watch dog stop using my postings. alla?
nyama soya walitumpa kwati the real nyama soya
Chipata and thanks for asking lets focus on the issues at hand
This underlines the gravity of corruption on our law enforcement agencies. It luks like Mwanawasa died together with the corruption fight. I dont know if we are still talking about corruption any more. RB WHERE ARE YOU?
# 39
Looks like it.
we want to know who this RB ia all about but he won’t as he has a thick brain.
He should show as what he is capable of instaed of hiding behide LMP’s Policies.
Tracey the man is in love! you have knocked him off his Limbs
who is the owner of the meat? the fact the name is witheld it is useless to even publish. this is a sign that RB somehow is involved. these people know they are untouchable because they brought RB in power. politics of appeasement…???kaya after all cb is pf or fwafwa no ge.
Can we please stick to the topic and stop troubling Tracey. She contributes very well here. I work in a call centre on Sunday for extra £s and can only type when the boss is away.
#42
What are you sorry for?
mwalaba shani? it is RB’s way of trying to punish abena CB for rejecting him.
Number 42 is right. We must emulate our friends in the west and also name and shame. its the only way to prevent any more business going to these corrupt people. Can you imagine the smell from that truck? I really wonder about the police. Surely no matter how hungry for cash a person must have morals to say that meat could have killed someone!! I also smell the hand of someone in govt suppressing information……..when will things change?
Let these Bemba chaps chow down on the rotten meat, they need some meat in their diet and take a break from kalembula!!!!!!!!!!
ulichipuba #44 anywhere you are the lord of flies nownder you cant be sorry and even ask. can you even ask we mbwa iye. maybe you belong the Mad Maniacs Devil party that kill its own voters withou sorry. and asking sataand hh what tension is in the country when people are dying. i suspect you re related to one of Mad Maniacs Devil.. is teta your dad
Things can change but it needs a lot of being educated about new ways of living in a new global world free from poverty tendencies. Njala causes a lot of poor thinking for a quick buck. We are on the right track. Tracey metioned mentioned being an engineer in telecoms. one example is being able to engage in a blog with people in Chipata like Tracey is one positive. The more network/online survey we become,the more knowledgeable and being able to transfer the knowledge home. Bye the boss is here.
#47 what have we done,don’t you know that us Bembas we have a very unique meat called isabi,we don’t need that meat,and our mbuyas have introduced us to a very good meat called imbeba.so watch your mouth we’re so special to eat that rotten meat.
#48 mwatukana sana,the guy was just trying to have fun,its not that he/she was that serious.please swallow your pride and apologise.One Zambia One nation.Thank you hope I’ve not offeded you.
#48 mwatukana sana,the guy was just trying to have fun,its not that he/she was that serious.please swallow your pride and apologise.One Zambia One nation.Thank you hope I’ve not offended you.
These business men and women should banned, they seem not to understand or respect the law of consumer protection.
#53 I like you name. My reminds me of falling to invest back home as I’m not able to save though working many jobs. Chachine twiponta tukabwekelamo pa Zed.
#54 I meant ‘mine’ as my name ‘A Phiri Anabwela…’ reminds me of falling to invest back home as I’m not able to save though working many jobs. Chachine twiponta tukabwekelamo pa Zed.
#47 don’t say that again.twakupapata
#48
Chill dude! No need to insult me. I was just asking about what you are sorry about but from what you have written just shows how pathetic you can be sorry for.
By the way I recommend you read the novel ‘Lord of the flies’
Meet does not rot. infact if it has vikusi its very nice
Am really disappointed in our country the rate of corruption.Road blocks,presidential campaigns,courts,councils & lands corruption.What legacy do we intend to leave to next genaration.sorry for this comment.
#58
Thats just disgusting!
# 56 it is MEAT please is that Xhosa os isizulu????
when i was young and staying in mayadi (kabulonga) our Garden boy who happened to be from eastern province liked that kind of meat.He even had a special name for it,ask the chipata boys
Isn’t it great to be a vegetterian?
#62
Hey guys some of us won’t be able to eat our super if you continue talking like that.
#63
Being a vege is so boring!
# 64 But that is what you feed on ( what do flies like??)
Its possible that even diseased meat is supplied to some of these butcheries. Those of you who love eating partilaly roasted/braiid meat(with blood still in it) should quit the habit – you risk taking in deadly disease causing parasites.
#66
Thanks for reminding me.
I like that. you have made me laugh.
Hello everyone, I had to go away. Went to the General Hospital I have a young sista who has pericarditis, this is pericardium effusion. This is caused by excess fluid and is now around the heart. Some of the causes are HIV, TB, Cancer and X-rays. She is HIV negative but definetly has TB of the abdomen. The moral of the story is the hospital had no simple medication including Maganesium tablets, Saline and I had to start running and managed to buy from Indians who own chemists here. Please when are we going to improve situation in hospitals, worse what would have happened to people in CB if they ate that meet and got food poisoning?
#67
When ever I go out (fly) for a meal I alwys like my roasted meat to be well done.
If you have the money take her to Victory Hospital. Its nice you are back gal. I wondering whether you had home from the internet cafe at the arcades.
Lords, these days internet is almost anywhere with GSM/GPRS/EDGE at least. We just have to work on the costs, and I hope we can rationalise all the fibre networks such as ZESCO, ZAMTEL and CEC. That way this country can save loads of bucks and connect to undersea cables eliminating satellite links especially the fixed satellites are so expensive. But anyway we have internet and CAZ needs to use the rural fund (5%) of gross profit they collect from service providers and operators.
#72, thats some impresie detail. Are you in I.T?
You ba Tracey have got the money to have internet at home in Zambia. Some people only go to the cafe during the day and disappear at about 5.pm. Me for one when I find someone who is blogging from Zambia I feel nice as I can ask what is going on the ground.
Correction on #72
I meant “ impressive ” and not “ipresie” as it reads.
Tracey Phiri. I like u. How can we meet? I seem to love your thinking. Need yo response.
#72 wait for tomorrow Golyati will come correcting all the typos!!!!
No. 74 I dont have the money but use the net for a lot of research for personal development and implement my findings to my job and community.
No. 75, yes am in IT though more in telecoms. Lets call it ICT as they say these days.
No. 76, I think I love the blog area its a much safer place to meet and exchange brilliant ideas, dont you think so?
Yep! It’s all about Tracey now
TRACEY…TRACEY….TRACEY…. I like yo name. I’l name my fish after u. Gonani manje. about us meeting, it was a typing error. I agreeb with # 79, we aint discusing tracey but the ROTTEN MEAT.
# 54,55 Thank you so much bro, its true twiponta fwe about zed but as pipo abroad lets do something about our country,invest back home. so mwiponta Mukabwela
This only confirms how shmbolic the system is in Zambia. Talk about combating corruption and incidents such as these surface, bloody shameful and priceless!!
lord of flies indeed i apologise for the words. but honestly it pains me and only that am poor enough to be in uk. zambia is my home i really feel sorry for zei zoona mudala. na nindoshi walwa zedi takwata luse. ata nifwiti ingachite chfundo imwe pulizi. so cool che abemba akuti sikutukana ni malumbo. ati shani kabili
#50, relax comrade,I am A Zed fella thick n thin, my comment #47 was just some odd sense of humor. No one in their right mind would expect anyone to consume rotten meat, its a serious health hazard. The love of my life is from your neck of the woods and I enjoy her kalembula & whatever you folks eat!!!!!!!!!!!!
#84 Stranger join maestro Hhehhehe caompain. Read his blogging you will see why. He is strange and dangerous. He is probably not a Zambian. Do not read his text or respond to it.
This suff has been going on for years. Remember the dyas when everyone in a house hold would have shikki polomia without cause? Those skinny Tonga cows?
I hope some people will be charged with this case. That is why we have so much disease as well!!
How rotten was the meat? was it edible by shanty stds?… some of the meat i recently saw at City market was so bad and being sold in unhygenic condition but the low ends of society consumes it without any problems….michopo is not any better and guys love it …I recall in the late 80’s pipo even used to scrub off the hair from the cattle hides and cook and sell the hides at Council tarvens.. big business then ….pa zed
Who was going to buy that meat anyway? As a consumer sure have a responsibily that what you are buying especially meat products and food stuffs are in good condition.
Job well done. We should all be vigilant. Report the wrong doers to the police.
This nonsense was started by Zambeef. They keep rotten beef which they use to make sausage at the end of the month and supply to Mine township outlets whenever the miners are paid.
You know our bululus when the get paid everything goes. I tried following up the ise only to leave the shore of mother Zed
isnt that meat better than eating monkeys the way my bemba friends do?
NENSALAINE PA ZEE-IT HAS NOW BECOME SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST..
SURVIVING AT THE EXPENSE OF DEAR ZAMBIANS,ITS A SHAME…
ONE FOR HIMSELF GOD FOR US ALL.
YAHWEH ATWAFWE…
copperbelt again.”ukutemwa mnani” move away from unsustainable ,deminishing copper value to agriculture so that you breed your own animal meet else you cry foul.
