Smuggling of Meal Mealie under control

Share

The Smuggling of Mealie meal at Kasumbalesa board post is now under control.

District Commissioner Timothy Musonda confirmed the development in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe today.

He said intensified patrols by security forces aimed at curbing mealie-meal smuggling has helped to control the trend.

The DC hailed Police in the District for their tireless efforts in curbing smuggling,

Mr Musonda revealed that the majority of those involved in smuggling were using bush paths and bicycles hence making it difficult to track them down.

He called on the Government to deploy more police officers at the border to beef up the current number so that they could patrol the border which stretches up to Solwezi in north western province.

Last week, Police in Chililabombwe impounded two Democratic Republic of Congo diplomatic buses for allegedly smuggling mealie meal from Zambia through Kasumbalesa border post.

  3. Ba Nine Chale,
    Have you seen Kasumbalesa Border post?? Maybe now you can answer my question I have been asking you for the past 3 days..:-?:-?

  4. Instead of seing a bussiness oppotunity to export Mealie meal to our neighbours and encourage our famers to grow more maize, they are bussy stopping it????? Zambia, do People think????? This is better than depending on copper. People will always need akabunga!!

  6. #24 Thanks, I knew you would….you are one of the coolest blogers on here! am out for today…..

    My Last comment is that I actually expect Govt to encourage Mealie meal exportation. Why have we all this time failed to take advantage of this yawining bussiness opportunity and then we are busy crying for mines?????

    As it was, so it is, so it may be….Zambia needs redemption. We would have been a better country by now if our leaders took even just a minute of the 8 hours in there offices to think…

  7. Akabwali Pa Zed. How I miss the smell of it imwe!! Protect it until I come. Not just Breakfast but also Rolla !! This is good news. We should continue protecting our assets!!

  9. Some problems in Zambia are self-made. How can a country of only 12 million people with more than twice the land of Germany fail to grow enough food to feed itself?

    PS. Germany has more than 80 million people and still no signs of starvation!

  10. #39 Iwe Nine Chale !! In Germany we eat everthing!! Ku Zambia the people only know akabwali!! Nga Drought yaisa nishi Ninsala!!
