Authorities shut down the multi-million dollar operation for violating the Public Health Act Cap 295 and the Food Safety Act No. 7 . Key violations included:Sanitation: Discharge of raw sewage and untreated effluent into Lake Kariba. Occupational Health: Failure to provide personal protective clothing (PPE) to employees. Food Safety: Operating with staff who were not medically certified to handle food for public consumption. These failures resulted in immediate shutdown and legal action.
