Consumer Rights Group Shocked By Botswana Company's Plans To Export Donkey Milk To Zimbabwe

Consumer Rights Group Shocked By Botswana Company's Plans To Export Donkey Milk To Zimbabwe

Local consumer rights groups have expressed concern over plans by a Botswana company to export donkey milk products to Zimbabwe.

The company, Takuwa Natural Products, recently announced that it intends to establish a donkey milk value-addition base in Zimbabwe.

Responding to the announcement, National Consumer Rights Association (NACORA) spokesperson Effie Ncube told the Southern Eye that Zimbabweans were not consumers of donkey milk and other products. He said:

Therefore, it boggles the mind as to why Zimbabwe is seen as a viable market for such a product. At this point, it is unlikely to attract a lot of consumers.

Before authorising the imports, the health issues should be comprehensively explored and consumers informed accordingly.

The product should also be well labelled so that no one confuses it with cow milk. A picture of the donkey should be on every package and marked in bold letters.

Mangwe Ward 6 councillor Similo Ndlovu told the publication that it is common knowledge that Batswana consume donkey meat. Said Ndlovu:

People are surprised about the move. We meet with people in Botswana during funerals in the Patse area, and we have seen them eating donkey meat.

Health and Child Care Minister Douglas Mombeshora said that while they were yet to analyse the donkey products, it is evident that the products are not poisonous. He said:

We need to analyse to find out how much fat, proteins, etc, but people in Botswana have eaten it and are alive.

Research has shown that donkey milk is highly nutritious and contains essential nutrients such as vitamins (particularly vitamins A, B, C, and E), minerals (including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus), and fatty acids.

So many people taking it personally! This is just a natural result of expanding regional trade. Let the milk come and face the market and regulators. It will sink or swim like any other cultural or regional delicacy trying to go international.

Because you are always crying poverty and hunger evryday, some Botswana guy thought he might help you with nutrition from donkey products, even though Botswana has pleanty of cattle.

Just leave them to do what they want, and people will do with that milk what they have done with the 50 Bond note.

people around the globe have eaten all sorts of animals including humans as long as one does not die from poisonous portions, i dont see why the fuss about milk from a donkey.snake and dog meat are chibese favourite as well as snail and slug. baboons and monkeys and elephants are some of the delicious dishes for certain tribes in Zimbabwe

I've once seen crocodile, lion, zebra meats and other game meats sold at TM Hyper, some people were buying. So let those who consume it buy.
