*Govt Responds To Reports Of Corruption In Zimbabwe-Tanzania Maize Deal* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?kt The government has denied reports that the price of maize being imported from Tanzania has been inflated by more than 100 per cent in order to corruptly benefit the country’s political elites. Writing on microblogging site Twitter on Friday afternoon, Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Information, Ndavaningi Nick Mangwana dismissed the reports as false. He said: ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- > Zimbabwe is paying its farmers ZWL$4000 for a tonne of maize based on a FOB import parity. Tanzania is one of very few countries in the region with maize to export as most were affected by drought. That said, we are not paying them US$600 per tonne. A report by Africa Confidential claimed that Zimbabwe has imported 17 000 tonnes of Maize from Tanzania at US$6000 per tonne while the world market price is “only” $240. The “corrupt” deal has reportedly slowed the response from international organisations to the United Nations’ appeal for emergency funding to alleviate Zimbabwe’s food shortfall. itel A50 now available on Pindula at $84 64GB storage, 2GB RAM. _ideal for light usage_ _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
