THE Government will soon issue a statement to guide the production and sale of alcoholic beverages packaged in sachets in an effort to curb abuse of alcohol.
Local Government, Housing, Early Childhood Education and Environmental Protection Minister Nkandu Luo has said that the Government will soon make a comprehensive statement on illicit alcoholic beverages such as those in sachets (commonly known as Tujilijili).
Professor Luo said such forms of alcoholic beverages had immensely contributed to alcohol abuse in the country as well as contributing to gender based violence.
Prof Luo has since urged the civil society to operationalise the Gender Based Violence (GBV) Act.
She was speaking when she officiated at the Non-Governmental Organisation Coordinating Council (NGOCC)’s 15th General Assembly in Lusaka yesterday.
Prof Luo said the civil society should partner with the Government in raising awareness on the existence of the GBV Act.??She said both men and women needed to be sensitised about the existence of the Act because people were still not aware that GBV was a crime.
She said there was need for vices like alcohol abuse to be curbed because they fueled gender-based violence.

THE ISSUE OF TUJILIJILI CAN WAIT MADAM MINISTER OF LOCAL GOVT ENV
MY GREATEST CONCERN IS THE LIFE THREATHNING ENVIRONMENT AT FREEDOM WAY
CRANE HANGING IN THE SKY MOVING AROUND IN ALL DIRECTIONS THIS COULD FALL ANYTIME AND THE DITCHES AT KAMWALA SHOPPING CENTRE CREATED BY GEORGE KUNDA. PLIZ CONSIDER SUCH HARZARDS FIRST COZE THEY COULD KILL INOCENT SOUL IN THE AREA.. TUJILI IS SELF KILLING NOT ENVIRONMENT
Best news – tujilijili have killed hope for some communities. All their young men drunk and unprod uctive, our villages have become something else.
This website is funny just noticed my flag on previous post is from some foreign country yet I’m using airtel in Zambia.
Most Service providers in Zambia are routing their traffic through a series of other providers in other countries, thus the different flags, I get an EU flag all the time because our ISP here in Zambia routes our Internet traffic through a gateway in greece…Yours wont show a Zambian flag unless you’re using Zamnet, or Zamtel…
That’s because you are using mobile device hence your Network provider’s wireless server can be located anyway in the world.
what will happen to our favourite don’t kubeba PF brand of tujilijili?
are u saying it is also bad for youths?
but its the highest selling product out there
Seriously, it’s quite sad to see even teenagers and often times street kids having the time of their lives sipping on this rubbish…On many levels, these products are directly related to the influx of crime in the country…
Hahahahaha, funny issue. Do anything to stop that stuff! ZCAS students are dying hahahahaha!
Well done in advance children hav bn spoiled with tujilili. let somethin be done its dont kubeba
About time…
just ban these tujilijilis..some of the companies doing them are for some pf top officials..
Just even the name itself – tujilijili – sounds like a beer for poachers! Where did it come from? Anyway, today is Friday! I’m sure people have already started JILING!
Lekeni abantu balekolwa naimwe.Umwana alanda kubwalwa ena temwana.
Ban Tujilijili and Kachasu brewers will be celebrating!!!!! MORE KACHASU NOW…..
Yes spot on pls remove those to jiiiii whatever the name.I’m not even sure they are health, same with kachasu. Protect the rural citizens also who are finishing because of kachasu.
@11 mpundu hope you won’t spoil your kids mate. This to jjiijjiijj though have never seen one my friend pa zed said they can be bad to one’s kidney or liver.
kale twafyala yama.My oldest grandchild is fifty.Am dating a sweet 16 though.You us who served in the previous government stole a lot.
spot on professor, the issue of adressing tujilili is long over due. do away with the same and make it mandatory to package such spirits from minimum of 200ml. tujilijili is bad to one health e.g. lead to ulcers, BP, loss libido, loss of appetite, premature…., memory loss, heart failure etc the list goes on. i can recommend opaque beer than to tujlijili
If you don’t improve pipo’s poverty levels such things will keep popping up. These are sold for as low as k500 one or k1500 two some types. If pipo are able to afford mosi that averages k6000 per bottle, these jiliz will disappear. Also you re forgetting how many people are earning their living manufacturing and trading in them. It is the same thing as removing vendors on the street with providing an alternative trading area. You shud not run Society on commands ZRA is benefiting from the same by collecting taxes from this industry.
The difference between tujilijili and whisky/brandy is the package and price and where its sold. In simple terms, youths can now afford brandy/whisky(tots) at an affordable price in a small plastic anywhere anytime. i dont see the difference between Caleb Fundanga’s lips/face and youths taking Tujiljili.
Twapapata ba honourable angasheniko fimbi not ubwalwa na amabele. we dont have any other form of recreation pa zed apart from drinking nokuchitana
GOOD MOVE! ba LT, you should have put a picture: Kaponya ale fyompa akajilijili, tamwakwata?
#18 MABVUTO – What? Whose mabele?????? Careful, you might be misunderstood by the ‘Honourable Minister’!
Mabvutoooooo hahahaha honestly.awe mwe do some thing people in the village even do peicework and they are paid tujilijili as money.youths look like they in their 40s am 33 but my young brother looks older than me i look twice younger than him pls pls do something if possible start tomorrow.
Good job!!!
Just ban the Production of the all thing..(Tujilijili)
regulate alcohol content to 5%.
Alchohol of more than 2.5% by vol should only be sold in GRZ authorised outlets. continued sale in markets, KIOSK’s, tuntemba’s will defeat GRZ’s efforts in controlling alchohol abuse. All bars should stricktly operate only from 17:30hrs to 21:00hrs & we should make it a crime for anyone found with some alchohol in their system between 06:00hrs & 17:00hrs.
