*Minister Descends On Shops Abusing Subsidised Roller Meal* *Follow Pindula on WhatsApp for daily new updates* https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va84dngJP21B2nWeyM3v?gt Some retail shops in Bulawayo were on Monday selling a 10kg bag of subsidised roller meal at $78.00, prompting Industry and Commerce Deputy Minister Raj Modi to intervene. Camfro Generals shop and Curtain Corner shop located along Fort Street between 5th and 6th Avenues were inflating prices way above the stipulated $50.00 per 10kg bag. ---------- Latest itel S24 available on Pindula: 128GB storage $119 USD WhatsApp +263783450793 ---------- In an interview with the Chronicle following his visit to the shops, Modi said: > When I visited the two shops, I found them selling the subsidised mealie-meal at a high price of $78. > I managed to convince the owners to sell the commodity at a proper price and that is $50. > What amazes me the most is that these shops do not have any tangible reason for selling the mealie-meal at a high price and I am aware that most supermarkets in the city have adopted a similar practice to make profits. Modi said he warned he shops that if they continue overcharging the commodity next time it will be confiscated and legal action will be taken against them. Zimbabwe is experiencing an acute shortage of mealie meal as grain imports are not enough to meet demand following a severe drought last year. *More: Chronicle* 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*
