WhatsApp: 0️⃣7️⃣8️⃣3️⃣ 4️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ 7️⃣9️⃣3️⃣ ---------- The malpractices were unearthed after random visits by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce’s Trade Measures Department inspectors, aimed at protecting consumers from corrupt traders or unchecked scales. Trade Measures Board (TMB) chairperson Mathew Ranganai revealed that those now facing court trials over the offences were arrested in Mutare and Harare. He said: > One milling company in Harare and six other manufacturing firms and butcheries arrested in Mutare are now facing prosecution. > The other nine companies have since been served with written contravention letters which may result in the imposition of fines or warning. > If our assessment of the remaining cases points to serious acts of criminality, the companies may also end up in court. He said all equipment for trade, like scales, must be checked and approved by the Government to ensure consumers are not shortchanged. Ranganai, however, said that under the Act, the Ministry has no power to deal with the illegal traders on the streets without the involvement of the police. *More: The Herald* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
