The situation of mealie meal in Kalulushi has steadily normalised as most major outlets have enough stocks.

When contacted for a comment Kalulushi District Agricultural Coordinator, Davis Kaboboto, explained that the district had enough stocks of maize at its Food Reserve Agency (FRA) depot.
He said the stock position of maize was about 48,550 50kg bags, adding that he did not know how long it would take or if any miller would come on board but there was a queue of trucks.
The DACO said the prices at which maize was being sold by the millers buying maize from the Food Reserve Agency was K1700 per tonne and that Antelope Milling was uplifting 2000 metric tonness of maize at the Food Reserve Agency Depot.
Everything will normalise towards elections, and that’s good lol since people will be voting on full stomachs
Yes, that should not be surprising considering the smuggling ministers have been exposed. Trouble is they are just taking a break before they resume using other tactics. Please punish them severely so they will never take God’s people for a ride ever again.
The best part of it is that Zambians are smuggling our maize and meal meal. We know king Solomon imfumu yamano lungu will win at the end of the day
