Chitungwiza's Chibuku Breweries in hot soup for environmental violations

Chitungwiza's Chibuku Breweries has found itself at the center of controversy after reports surfaced of the company allowing liquid waste to flow into food processors, industrial areas, and Mapostori prayer sites. This flagrant violation of environmental health laws has raised serious concerns about public health and safety in the region.

Representatives from the Environmental Management Agency, when contacted for comment, expressed surprise at the issue and highlighted that they were not previously aware of such activities taking place. Assuring swift action, they mentioned dispatching a team to investigate the matter and address the violations.

On the other hand, officials from the Chitungwiza City Council admitted their lack of capacity to effectively tackle the issue, signaling a potential gap in oversight and regulatory enforcement. The revelation of this environmental hazard has drawn attention to the need for better coordination between the different authorities responsible for safeguarding public health and preserving the environment.


As the situation unfolds, concerned mapostori and environmental advocates are calling for a thorough investigation, immediate corrective measures, and long-term sustainable solutions to prevent such incidents from recurring. The Chibuku Breweries case raises the crucial role of observing environmental regulations and the collective responsibility of businesses and authorities in ensuring a safe and healthy environment for all.

The liquid waste from Chibuku breweries has also caused a stench in the area polluting the land and air that people breathe. Chibuku officials have no regard for the community and environmental health.
