Who’s responsibility is it to monitor this? It’s government of course! Let them curb this situation before it goes haywire.

i know tht tumfweko can sometimes tell lies but lets look at this story from a different perspective. i have noticed tht the shortages are either along boarder towns all those near to them. pupil smuggle all the mealie meal and remain with nothing to eat.a bag is fetching k150 who can resist such business though illegal?
