GOVERNMENT has banned 40 water bottling firms for failing to meet safety and quality standards. This follows an influx of bottled water suppliers in response to a surge in demand.
Once again, this is another example how Zimbabwe is a very unfriendly place
to do business. What the gov't and minister should be doing is help these
companies obtain the right certification and start water bottling. Zimbabwe
has been banning so many companies, that it is a joke to say the want to
reduce unemployment. This backward,
Give them examples of how the companies who have the right certification
are doing to meet the certification. And please, don't tell them to pay a
small fee to zanu-pf!
Are you a fool? 40 Water bottle companies is a lot. In NYC alone there
isn't that many. If people want to do business they are supposed to ensure
that their product meets proper health criteria to ensure the well being of
the people. 9 Water bottling companies is fine as long as the water is
healthy. Those selling contaminated food products should be ashamed and
incarcerated rather than just banned. You sound extremely ignorant.
Also, If a business is not willing to spend the time researching how to
create a quality market for promotion and distribution then they will not
spend the time once they are told how. It is not the governments job to
teach Research and Development skills to every business in every industry.
It is however, the governments job to protect the lives of it's citizens
from corrupt businesses that promote and sell contaminated products.
Wayne, it is the duty of Gov't to create an environment in which business
can be successful..and Zimbabwe is not a friendly place to do business
in..Fools like you are busy repelling business because of your shallow
zanu-pf ideology!
