BULAWAYO, after the dog meat scandal has licenced a donkey abbatoir as look east policy goes into full drive,..viva Zimbabwe!.
The speed of changes in Zimbabwe is now shocking, after newzimbabwevision revealed recently that Bulawayo residents had been buying and eating dog meat sold by a man who would dig up dogs dumped by the council and slaughter the carcasses behind NRZ rail sheds in Bulawayo.
Bulawayo residents frequently purchased ‘lovely’ meat cuts from a homeless Bulawayo man, Mr Ndebele who sold dog meat undetected for six months before his unorthodox trade was unravelled.
We can now reveal to you that a Bulawayo based company, Battlefront Investments is in the process of building a US$150 000 donkey abattoir,..yes donkey abbattoir in Waterford Bulawayo to start operating by the end of the month.
The abattoir will be able to dress an average of more than 70 donkeys per day. Donkey meat is a delicacy just 100 km away from Bulawayo, in Botswana.
Battlefront Investments managing director, Mr Gareth Lumsden says his company is currently purchasing for slaughter from Gokwe, Plumtree, Gwanda and Gweru to commence in the next three weeks. Battlefront Investments also owns a total of four butcheries, three located in Bulawayo and one Butchery in Victoria Falls Zimbabwe.
The government of Zimbabwe is said to have given blessings to the donkey abattoir after the donkey abattoir in Botswana was recently closed down as locals complained about the high level of donkey theft in Botswana.
I can only say that it probably is not in anyone’s business interest to run normal butcheries and then at the same time operate alternative meat sales such as donkey or dog meat because to the discerning eye, one asks, how often the same vehicles are used to move each type of livestock dead or alive, same abattoirs, refidgiration systems, canning, packaging and other services. Hmmn, if in Bulawayo, Bassop! That take away could be dog or donkey meat,..now I understand the derogatory term ..’Mandevere kuthanda nyama!’, Think about going vegetarian,..seriously, human body parts harvesting, now dog and donkey meat all happening koBulawayo,… I shall not speak! More news to follow. By Sibusiso Ngwenya.
