Highlanders Club house kitchen operating without license
2 hrs ago | Views
The kitchen at the Highlanders Football Club House is among several facilities in Bulawayo that were found operating without a valid license, according to a recent report by the Bulawayo City Council (BCC). The popular establishment was also cited for failing to ensure that its food handlers had undergone the required medical examinations, a key health regulation for all food service operations in the city.
The violations came to light following routine inspections conducted by the city's health department last month. The BCC report reveals that a total of 1,157 premises were inspected in April, resulting in numerous warnings issued to businesses across various suburbs.
In addition to the Highlanders Club House kitchen, the council also served notices to several other facilities that were found in breach of council health and licensing regulations. These included Blue Lagoon Butchery in Thorngrove, Sunset Bottle Store in Entumbane, Endaweni Lodge and Retreat Lodge in Matsheumhlophe, Skies Meals in the central business district, Prime Choice Butchery, Renkini Fresh Foods, and Mzilikazi Gardens.
The report highlights the city council's continued efforts to ensure compliance with public health standards and the safety of residents. While the specific penalties were not detailed, BCC has confirmed that appropriate action is being taken against all non-compliant operators.
This development has sparked concern among some residents, particularly fans of Highlanders Football Club, who expect the institution to uphold higher standards of professionalism and regulatory compliance. The council has warned that it will continue to enforce its regulations without fear or favour, urging all business owners to regularise their operations to avoid further penalties or possible closures.
