    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!
