MLF condemns opening of donkey abattoir in Bulawayo

Mthwakazi Liberation  Front has condemned the opening of the donkey abattoir.

The party said the opening of a donkey abattoir is nothing less than an insult and declaration of war by Battlefront Investments and the government of Zimbabwe, to Mthwakazi people.

"How on earth could the ministry of health approve of such an abattoir at a place where not even a rat has never been eaten. Battlefront Investments as the name says are seriously at war. The move degrades and is totally against the cultural morals of our people. We cannot accept that. If there was anything good that comes with the opening of that abattoir, why would the government of Zimbabwe choose to oppose its looting policy and bring it to Bulawayo?" said.

"Why has the government of Zimbabwe permitted their relocation of many companies like  Tregers Group, Zimbabwe Engineering Company, Hubert Davies, Merlin Textiles, Stewards and Lloyds, Build Elect, Dunlop, Hunyani Holdings and G&D Shoes, companies that contributed a lot in the growth of Mthwakazi, to Harare? What is it that Harare has not liked with the investment of Battlefront to let it open an abattoir in Mthwakazi?"

MLF said as an organization, we are sending a clear message to Battlefront investment to close down their evil operation in their land or risk closure  of all their butchery outlets in Mthwakazi.

"Gwanda alone has more than enough cattle to feed the whole of Mthwakazi, so what is the reason of feeding our people with donkeys?. We urge Mthwakazi people not to take this thing lightly. Battlefront Investments has to relocate to Harare if it continues with its donkeys abattoir plan," MLF said.
