The Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) has advised members of the public to buy meat from reputable butcheries and abattoirs.
This follows the arrest of five men in Hwedza who were found in possession of six carcasses of cattle.
The police statement reads:
Police in Hwedza recently intercepted a pickup truck laden with six carcasses of cattle which were destined for Harare.
Investigations revealed that the cattle had died of disease and the suspects bought the meat for resale in Harare.
The meat was condemned as unsuitable for human consumption by health inspectors and was destroyed accordingly.
Five suspects have been arrested in connection with the case. We urge members of the public to buy meat from reputable butcheries and abattoirs.
