Residents of Cowdray Park suburb in Bulawayo have been advised to buy their meat from reputed licensed butcheries rather than backyards.
This follows unverified reports of individuals selling donkey meat to unsuspecting customers.
Social media platforms have been awash with reports that several donkeys in Cowdray Park have been found slaughtered, with parts like liver removed.
Donkey meat is allegedly being sold to unsuspecting locals who reside in new stands in Cowdray Park.
In an interview with <a href="https://cite.org.zw/residents-advised-to-buy-from-reputable-butcheries-in-wake-of-donkey-meat-concerns/">CITE’s</a> Senzeni Ncube, Ward 5 Councillor Ashton Mhlanga said although he has not received official complaints from the residents, he is aware of the social media reports. Said Mhlanga:
<blockquote>
I have heard the issue from social media but I have not received official reports from the residents.
But my advice to residents in Cowdray Park is that they should buy meat from reputable licensed butcheries.
We have many reputable butcheries here. There is one at a shopping centre at Caravan, another one at Athens and another one located at the terminus.
Residents should buy their meat there so that they are not in danger of eating donkey meat.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) spokesperson in Bulawayo Province Inspector Abednico Ncube also confirmed to CITE that police were aware of the reports from social media. He said:
<blockquote>
We have not yet received a report that there is donkey meat being sold, but we are seeing it from social media. People should buy meat from reputable butcheries.
Buying meat from street hawkers is a crime and the residents will end up consuming meat that died on its own without them having slaughtered it as per their culture.
We are appealing to the members of the public to listen to the word of advice from the police and city health that only licensed butcheries dealing with meat and having certificates should be used for consumption. We are saying no to meat sold in buckets by people on foot.
</blockquote>
Donkey meat is not a common food item in Zimbabwe even though it is a nutritious food that is rich in protein, iron, calcium, and phosphorous.
Donkey meat is considered a delicacy in some cultures and is consumed in many countries around the world, and in some regions, the meat is believed to have medicinal properties and is used to treat various ailments.

Donkey Meat Rumours: Residents Urged To Buy Meat From Reputable Butcheries

Local consumer rights groups have expressed concern over plans by a Botswana company to export donkey milk products to Zimbabwe.
The company, Takuwa Natural Products, recently announced that it intends to establish a donkey milk value-addition base in Zimbabwe.
Responding to the announcement, National Consumer Rights Association (NACORA) spokesperson Effie Ncube told the <a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/southerneye/local/article/200018285/uproar-over-donkey-milk-imports">Southern Eye</a> that Zimbabweans were not consumers of donkey milk and other products. He said:
<blockquote>
Therefore, it boggles the mind as to why Zimbabwe is seen as a viable market for such a product. At this point, it is unlikely to attract a lot of consumers.
Before authorising the imports, the health issues should be comprehensively explored and consumers informed accordingly.
The product should also be well labelled so that no one confuses it with cow milk. A picture of the donkey should be on every package and marked in bold letters.
</blockquote>
Mangwe Ward 6 councillor Similo Ndlovu told the publication that it is common knowledge that Batswana consume donkey meat. Said Ndlovu:
<blockquote>
People are surprised about the move. We meet with people in Botswana during funerals in the Patse area, and we have seen them eating donkey meat.
</blockquote>
Health and Child Care Minister Douglas Mombeshora said that while they were yet to analyse the donkey products, it is evident that the products are not poisonous. He said:
<blockquote>
We need to analyse to find out how much fat, proteins, etc, but people in Botswana have eaten it and are alive.
</blockquote>
Research has shown that donkey milk is highly nutritious and contains essential nutrients such as vitamins (particularly vitamins A, B, C, and E), minerals (including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus), and fatty acids.
