Illegal liquor trading booms in Itezhi-tezhi

Share

Illegal beer trading has drastically increased in Itezhi-tezhi district.

A survey by ZANIS around the town revealed that numerous makeshift shops and other grocery shops in the township are selling spirits in sachets without any liquor licences.

Meanwhile the sachets are littered all over the market area as the consumers of the spirits just throw the empty sachets any how.

And Itezhi-tezhi District Council Secretary, Cheemo Mangwato, has warned of stern action against those selling alcohol illegally.

Mr Mang’wato said that it is a legal requirement that whoever wants to engage in liquor business must obtain a liquor licence from the local authority before proceeding with trading in alcohol.

“All liquor traders by law are supposed to be licenced by the local authority and all those trading illegally will be followed by the local authority soon,” he said.

Mr Mangwato further said that Itezhi-tezhi district council has already embarked on mass sensitization of people on their need to licence their liquor trading.

    POLICE in Livingstone have arrested a number of people for allegedly assaulting and stripping naked a police officer who was in a team of other officers that attempted to stop marketeers from re-constructing stalls at the recently razed Tandabale market.

  2. A witness, Petronnela Lubinda of Maramba, where the controversial market is, said trouble started when police and council officers went to the market and allegedly fired teargas canisters to disperse marketeers who had resumed trading.

    Ms Lubinda said in the process, a police officer fled from the scene but marketeers gave chase and threatened to “smoke” her out of the house from which she sought refuge.

    She said immediately the officer was taken out, marketeers allegedly pounced on her and stripped her naked.

    the sentence Construction is not perfect but I know what you mean.

    I for myself am real to people ( even on the web)!! I do not know about the women around here at LT!! I wouldn’t even know if they are real women. I am optimistic though. I also believe that one just lies to themselves if they lie to others. Hope my Answer has somehow answered your question. Cheers
