During these inspections, some products are usually seized and destroyed. ZANIS officers will be invited to cover some of these enforcement activities in Lusaka and other provinces of Zambia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Mr Mwelwa also said ZANIS officers should alert ZCSA officers in all provinces on expired, banned, unregulated or illegal production of products that are posing danger to the health of the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cRecently, some people died in Pemba District after consuming a dangerous home-made beer made out of methylated spirit, shoe polish and other ingredients. ZCSA officers in Lusaka and other provinces, alongside the public, must alert us of non-compliant products so that our officers move in swiftly to enforce the law and ultimately protect consumers and the environment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Speaking at the event meeting, Mrs Saili outlined a number of media platforms and services that ZANIS offers, adding that the institution is ready to partner with ZCSA to educate the public.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cZANIS is the only mainstream media organisation in Zambia providing the widest possible professional news coverage through a well-trained cadre of Journalists stationed at the headquarters in Lusaka, regional offices in provinces and districts. Let us work together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Ms Saili said ZANIS\u2019s mandate is to interpret Government policies and provide accurate and comprehensive information to the public in order to solicit their support and participation in national development.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This mandate is executed through ZANIS\u2019s Editorial, Technical Services, Research and Information Units.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243;
