Meddling with our maize…
This is from a friend of mine, in his words:
We run a supermarket and there is a miller close by from whom we get mealie meal when there there is some maize. We understand that there is now a directive from “up top” that tells us that we have to obtain mealie meal from an assigned miller. They are usually a big distance away from the shop and we don’t have the fuel to go and collect.
We believe that this is a way in which the Government can now blame the supermarkets and stores for the shortage. We tried to talk to someone about it and were sent to the Bulawayo Governor. He then said we had to speak to the Vice President, Msika which is very difficult for us. It seems no one wants to make a decision and tell us why this nonsense is happening. We know why as this government is failing to even give us food and they cannot admit that they are responsible.
