ZNS IMPORTED GMO MAIZE FROM SOUTH AFRICA
INVOICE PRODUCED IN COURT SHOWS DESTINATION FOR ZNS GMO MEALIE MEAL IS LUSAKA.
Good Evening.
The trial of Zambian Whistleblower Chief Consultant Thomas Allan Zgambo started in Lusaka Magistrate Court today where the defence produced a Commercial Invoice which shows that the Mealie Meal containing Genetically Modified Organisms ( GMO) imported from South Africa by Zambia National Service ( ZNS) was destined for Lusaka.
During the trial, State Witness number one Chief Inspector Cyber Crime Unit Michael Ilishibo explained how he was approached by Brian Chipango a fellow officer to investigate the story which appeared on the Zambian Whistleblower page on October 17 and 26, 2023, regarding the importation of GMO Mealie Meal by ZNS.
After Brian Chipango the Investigations Officer gave him a Know Your Customer ( KYC) document from Airtel, he found that the number that appears on the Zambian Whistleblower face book page is the one Thomas Allan Zgambo donated to the Zambian Whistleblower for their use in interacting with the public.
During cross examination by defence Counsel Jonas Zimba, Chief Inspector Ilishebo admitted that he did not know Thomas Allan Zgambo was a Journalist.
When asked, he said he would also be unhappy to know he was being fed GMO Mealie Mealie but that he would not comment on Facebook. Chief Inspector Ilishebo also said he did not know ZNS Headquarters was at Corner of Church Road and Addis Ababa Drive.
He was then asked to identify and read a commercial invoice.
He said it was an Invoice from a South African Company to supply milled Maize to Eagles Milling Company Limited of Plot number 6E2, Corner of Church Road and Addis Ababa drive in Lusaka Zambia. The invoice was for the supply of 30 Metric Tonnes of GMO Mealie Meal( Breakfast) in monthly batches of 5000 Metric Tonnes.
The invoice shows the destination of the imported GMO Mealie Meal as ZNS Headquarters in Lusaka, whose location Chief Inspector Ilishebo claimed he did not know.
At this point the defence applied to court for Thomas Allan Zgambo’s two phones and a laptop to be brought to court so that the defence can access more information on the matter. The Court ordered that the gadgets be produced on 13th September 2024, and set 14th October 2024 as the date for continued cross examination of State Witness number one Micheal Ilishebo.
The Zambian Whistleblower will keep you updated on this matter and the other case coming up.
See attached the Commercial Invoice attached.
Good Night.
