Tujilijili Finally Banned
Government has with immediate effect banned the manufacturing and sale of strong liquor sachets commonly known as tujilijili.
Local Government Minister Nkandu Luo announced the ban at a press briefing in Lusaka on Sunday.
Professor Luo also announced that government has revoked licenses for manufacturers and importers of the liquor sachets.
She told journalists that the decision has been arrived at after wide consultations and formulation of legislation to ban the sachets.
Professor Luo says any person that will be found guilty of manufacturing or selling the banned sachets will be fined or imprisoned for two years in default.

All my dear zambian youths consider taking up sports especially athletics and boxing or farming(Young Farmers Clubs)
ZNBC,MUVI TV,and newspapers please dedicate much time to Agricultural news and sports such as athletics and not music (eastpoint nonsense) and dancing all the time.
Thanks prof for saving a generation and particularly my son’s life by banning tujilijili.

So far all bloggers above have not analysed the Tujilijili issue well. Why do I say so? What has been banned is the manufacture, packaging and sale of the tujilijili sachets. The contents or spirits can still be manufactured and packaged in bigger bottles or cans of any measure by the companies. Govt should have gone further to ban kachasu brewing in compounds and anywhere else. Where I come from there is a toll free whistle blowers’ phone line to report such to police and it is working. As communities we know what goes on in our localities but we usually ‘look the other way’ instead of taking action. For example we are seeing people building houses on the rail line in Lilayi, building under high tension electricity pylons, building houses above water and sewer lines etc. But we are quiete…..at least I have reported this…….play your part also.

Any responsible government should enact certain laws that will help curb social ills, even if it means having some casualties, in whatever form, along the way!!! Political party popularism, shouldn’t be the reason why live chickens, fresh fish, vinkubala, tujilijili, pamela, cassava, list infiniti, be displayed along shop corridors by vendors. Prof. Luo, thank you madam, maybe you should be the one at the top, this country needs order,desperately!!!!

As a patriotic Zambia, tamwaitambe bwino, I will be conducting citizen arrest, once I find you admiring, or looking at, or talking about, or consuming or remembering how you used to consume the so called TUZILIZILI The word is henceforth removed from our vocabulary. The sentence is now revised to 10 years with hardest labour.

Sources reaching me from the local brewers association are that they have recorded an overwhelming 200% rise in the sale of kachasu as can be evidenced by street vendors failing to show up in town early as they first head to the kachasu brewers for 1 bomb but end up not making it to town or to work.
There’s always an alternative. Sharia law might do better in stopping this alcohol.

good move govt but yet again wat happened to grace periods remember these guys had something in stock, something in production, govt should take into consideration the loses encountered by manufacturers of these small sachets,this move had no warning notice, let govt take responsibility of the loses encountered by the companies, what measures have the govt put up, these guys where just supposed to be told to recondition these products IE, packaging in proper bottles and reducing the alcohol percentage.
let the Prof also take into consideration the effects of Street vending on the environment, and sanity of our country, can sum-one regulate street vending……….open a forum for Luo to answer many burning questions
