How many shares does Mutsvangwa have at Innscor? : Mupambi.

In a recent media briefing, ZANU PF spokesperson Mr. Christopher Mutsvangwa launched a fierce attack on human rights activist Rutendo Matinyararire. This criticism followed Matinyararire’s concerns about Innscor-produced foods, alleging that they contain genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and carcinogenic substances.

Mutsvangwa dismissed Matinyararire’s claims, citing a previous court ruling in South Africa that addressed similar issues. “The wisdom of the South African judges should not be taken lightly,” he stated, questioning the legitimacy of Matinyararire’s accusations. He argued that the activists lacks credibility and a mandate to speak on such matters, suggesting that Matinyararire’s social media presence does not legitimize his claims.

This situation raises important questions about consumer rights. According to the Consumer Council of Zimbabwe ,in their response to Human Defender, Abigale Mupambi who recently joined the anti GMOs campaign consumers have rights in terms of section 68 of the Consumer Rights Act of 2015 ,consumers are entitled to transparency in contracts and notices. The Act emphasizes that terms must be clear, comprehensible, and legible reinforcing the importance of good faith in consumer dealings.”

This publication reached out to Mupambi to get her remarks after the Zanu PF boss’s reactions . “It is very important to establish how many shares Mutsvangwa has in Innscor before dwelling into the wrong debate. The issue is between the supplier (Innscor)and consumers (Zimbabweans ), l don’t see where Hon cde Ambassador Christopher Mutsvangwa is flying in from with especially with aggression. He , unfortunately ,has taken over the role of Innscor in a defence mode in my view. She charged!

As the debate unfolds, it is crucial to the extent to which consumers can freely voice out their concerns about product safety and transparency. As things stand , the public’s trust in food safety standards hangs in the balance and the outcome of this public debate could have significant impact for consumer advocacy in Zimbabwe.
