[All Africa] Zambian mealie meal
Zambia? You mean that place the white "settlers" went when their farms were stolen. The Financial Gazette established that traders were making brisk business selling Zambian mealie meal at popular markets, while others moved around Chinotimba and Mkhosana townships on bicycles selling the product. Some local shops also had stocks of the Zambian product, which sold for nearly half the price of locally produced mealie meal. "It is the price and the quantity that matters," said a local trader. "It all makes economic sense for the suffering residents," he added. Investigations indicated that Zambian traders brought the mealie meal from across the border daily on bicycles for sale in Victoria Falls. | |

#1 From a VFH dining room, looking across the garden to the Falls bridge spanning the Zambezi, built by nasty colonials in 1906. Much history hidden in those old hotel walls. If only they could speak. |
