Zambia National Breweries Chipata Depot has with immediate effect suspended distribution of beer to Lundazi District due to the poor state of Chipata -Lundazi road.
National Breweries Director for operations, Ronny Palale confirmed the development to ZANIS in Lundazi .
Mr. Palale explained that his company decided to suspend deliveries of both opaque chibuku and shekisheki beer to chibuku traders in Lundazi, as a measure of protecting their trucks from constant breakdowns due to deplorable Chipata-Lundazi road.
He disclosed that his firm always incurred losses because whenever a chibuku tanker was sent to deliver beer to its clients in Lundazi and those along the road, that the truck would either break down or the commodity loses its taste due to spill-overs.
The Director for Operations said the company will only resume beer deliveries when road improves probably after the rainy season .
Meanwhile, chibuku traders in Lundazi have cried foul, following National Breweries company decision to suspend distribution of both chibuku and shekisheki beer to Lundazi and have since appealed to management to rescind its decision.
Lundazi Chibuku Traders Association chairperson Mr Isaac Banda complained that chibuku business in Lundazi has now become extremely expensive and unprofitable because chibuku traders are now forced to travel long distances to buy beer from chibuku tanker either in Chipangali in Chipata or Mwasenphangwe.

Oh my goodness!! Its back to Kachasu for the Tumbukas now. Mama ine!!
**==**==**==
thats better for now,if it was mealimeal it could have been pathetic!!
its sad for my chief mpezeni to remain sobber until after rain season!!! bwafya…
Jenks Spear
Mpezeni is in Chipata mwana, so he is well catered for. Chief Magodi is the one with problems now!!
ka chasu brewers are in for major profit
Who is the MP responsible for funds that side. he/she should do some thing before the driver is retrenchd
yaba akulu tasuzika. back to kachasu, imbote and akiki wine.
Ba Moze you are bad news.
Just drink seven days, that stuff is made of the same ingredients as chibuku. In any case is there no Zambian willing to rescue asibweni by setting a brewery in Lundazi? we have so many in Lusaka!
beer issues again
**==**==**==
#4 ba moze,
thanx for that,am just aware nw, so chief Magodi is n trouble,well he will resort to kachasu in the meantime,since its temporal,awe chabipa!!shekas is a bit taste,esp with milk.
kachasu + milk=pushcafe
Silo
Good morning! Dictatorship at work!! Or is it “Big brother is watching”? A little humour fye Mudala. :)>-
It is an opportunity for those that brew “7 days” masese
Well, if business people start shunning Lundazi district because of the state of the road, the victims will be the Lundazi residents themselves, not that it is their fault the road is in that state. Well maybe it, afterall, they voted overwhelmingly for Unip (MMD).
Fyonse ku complaina napa fibwalwa fye? Eish fellas have a life. There is so much cheaper beer in nearby Malawi so why shed tears over Chibuku?
Oh Iam sorry
Mbuyas!! so ni back to kachasu nomunkoyo.anyway lets wait and see.
shimukokota Nsono
morning,, its only about the beer, its about the raods, if the transport network is the good the district will develope, besides i would rather buy a zambian brewed beer that get one from another country that way i keep the people brewing in employment…
Sorry Lundazi no Madizzi ka… o=>
#1 what happend did LT delet your comment????

**==**==**==

Kambiz
Thats an”OUCH!” from Jens spear. Sorry boss. :d/
balefwala ifipushi on the motor bike, ikali iyiyena :)>-:d/
the good side of it is that people will be more sober to help resolve issues affecting the country.
“Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:”Isaiah 5:22
too bad in that the road is still in a pathetic state.chibuku is not an issue but the road,for how long are pipo going to complain over chipata-lundazi road,and lundazi-chama road?lives have been lost,vehicles damaged year in year out.plz GRZ do something for the main road from chipata to chama.plz our highly educated mps,the likes of chifumu banda and todd chilembo frm lundazi and chama respectively,argue this issue aggressively,pipo have suffered enough,good luck.
ba LT naimwe,it’s shake-shake not shekisheki. kachasu will be expensive since high demand is = high price
Has ZB started brewing chibuku now?
Yaba
Zambia National breweries,bad road network cnt stop u frm delivering beer to thoz ends.U can aswel use helicopters to carry those drums.Am very very crossed on this matter.What do u think my Uncle wil be drinking,u want to kil him wth Kachasu,no ways this is unacceptable.
resort to Katata na chin-zimu~o)
Zoe
I support you there. I equally have uncles who resort to kachasu, and that stuff is bad for the liver (iye amalume banga ine).
If they can airlift food supplies, surely they can also do the same for chibuku. Why double standards kansi?
Zoe na Ba Moze.
Iyo cant happen ZB is not that rich to use helicopter to deliver ma Drums.I feel sorry for your uncle and ba Moze’s uncle as well.Please find a drastic solution guys to save your Uncles pantu kachasu yena iliko bad.why dont you use Post office/DHL they can be delivering the commodity to your uncles.Other option just bring them to Luapula we have nice beers like mufuna nsapato popularly known as katubi,very hygenic we use straws when drinking.
:-j:-j:-j
I thought they stopped delivering so as to help the villagers spend more on food than on beer. Let the people return to local brew.
Matworld
Nkhani yama straws yanisekesa :)):))
I need to seriously consider that angle. Kwathu its one tin twelve people, imagine!!:o
How much to transport my eight uncles to luapula??:-?
Ba Moze
From Lusaka to Luapula mu february last year it was K90pin now I dont know.But big man believe you me you will never regrate na Mbeba fulu as imichopo paside. :-j:-j:-j
It’s RB playing games so that they allocate money for the road instead of other important issues, you know Zed always got issues. :ocaaaaall:-c
Ba LT, it’s not Zambia National Breweries but simply National Breweries! Anyway, phele nikantu chaa kwene unga ndiwo tingaba nawo namasuzgo. Phele ilijenakantu yayi sono timenge waka munkoyo na magi kuno ku kaya kwa chidoda. Tugomzya waka chiuta kutipa vula inandi chomene kuti nase tilime chomene. Sono tulyenge waka vingoma kuno kukaya!
LT you are at it again,spellings.Its not sheki-sheki,its shake-shake.Sheki-sheki is a Road where NatBrew is stuated somewhere there in Emmasdale.
As for the Lundazi residents ,they should besiege the office of the DC,OP or the powers that be demanding for quick action.They cant survive without respect (shake-shake). Its to nice!Nay!
Ba Moze what did you post which has been deleted? May be you should be banned from accessing this site!
its a good idea let the peope just drink kacasu which is healthier beer than chibuku,atleast kacasu is cheap
chibuku is healthier than kachasu and Jack Daniels
Very good, let them drink kachasu.
Good. Less drunkardness. Praise the Lord and my the road continue in its bad state
Where is the social responsibility in ZB.Why not fix the road and ask for a tax break.
Last went to Lundazi some good 3 years ago and the road was bad but under re-construction. To hear this is really sad and pathetic. Now, I wonder why people in these areas still put the same people to represent them year after year and yet they see with their own eyes how they have been neglected. Next it will be the Millers, Zambia Sugar, Zambeef and so on…ati developing country, kuti wasekamwe!
Ba#46
Ba Prof. Mwapwalala. Thats why bakuchitani impersonate because you like attacking others. anyway, we all know you are chizas fimo fimo. No mystery! :)>-
#51, have you ever run a business?! Your suggestion is way too simplistic.
The problem is not ZB’s action. This is just a symptom. The problem is the road, if you fix the road all else falls into place. Kuti waseka, ati air-lifting chibuku to Lundazi or ZB doing the road, some suggestions here are really hilarious!!ha ha ha ha!! Zoe na Immigrant, you have made my evening guyz, gosh I love LT.
#46(Prof Mutengo Waminga formerly Lady Chiza’s legs) really has strong beef towards Ba Moze. She is always on the offensive against Ba Moze. Awee she is for Beef!. Ba Moze, may be palivimozi vemufunika kusova babili otherwise izankhala monga ninkhondo ya ku Middle East yesisila. A truce has to be reached brokered by Matworld-Nice Guy,before its too late Ba Moze.
Amama Ine, :(( Hope it will be sorted soon8-|
Ninshi tabalekolwa bwino abena lundazi?

Although ZB has withdrawn distributions, their products will find its way there by private transporters the only issue will be akamutengo “price” will be higher than if it was ZB distributing
