MEALIE MEAL PRICE HIT K350 IN LUSAKA
The Mealie Meal prices in Lusaka for a 25kg of Breakfast has hit K350 per bag.
A check by Zambian Eye in some retail shops in some parts of Lusaka found that indeed a 25kg bag is fetching at K350.
However, the cost of living has continued going up with United States Dollars bringing kwacha to K26.
President Hichilema had promised the local currency, the Kwacha would appreciate by 2pm after he is sworn at 10AM.
He also promised a lot of things among them was to bring down the price of Mealie Meal to K50 per 25kg.
Will President Hichilema stabilize the economy before 2026?
What a cheap article!
These are the type that run away from the village, leaving behind aged parents, in big fertile lands, with no single goat or a cow reared in these farms. Probably one chicken. The old folks are even too frail to do any meaningful farming. Here in Lusaka
mojarity are doing nothing and if lucky
engaged in piece work, not even enough to sustain them, leave alone sharing with parents or guardians in the village.
They have left the farm and are busy here lamenting the prices of mealie meal.
Some families in western, North Eastern and southern provinces don’t know even the prices of mealie meal.
My friend, condinue looking at the prices because it will reach 500 and exchange rate reaching 100….
Its not only in zambian, all countries are in the same situations.
My humble advice, go to the farm and start farming. Thank you.
Correction: I meant North Western, NOT North Eastern.
When you come to think an economist promised to bring down the price of mealie meal to K50 and knew of a cheaper source.of fertilizer and these things have not come to pass, then just know that he is political fraud of an economist.
