REVELATIONS by the Kabwe Municipal Council that most meat being consumed in the district does not meet the hygienic standards makes sad news.
Talking Shop is particularly disturbed that these products do not undergo the necessary stages of examination due to challenges of inadequate infrastructure such as abattoirs.
Government must move in and ensure that the local authority in Kabwe and other affected areas is equipped to handle such cases so that people are not subjected to consuming harmful meat.

THE idea by Zambian Breweries Plc, the producers of Coca Cola to mark 500 milliliter packs of the beverage with names of individuals seems to be attracting more buyers.
This could be particularly because people want to be seen carrying around a drink with their name on it or maybe buying the product for someone they know by that name.
Talking Shop supports such innovations as they consolidate marketing strategies for the company to continue making profits.
