A joint security team at Beitbridge border post has intercepted a contraband of mbanje worth thousands of dollars being smuggled into the country in a Malawi bound bus.
"We got a tip off that the bus was carrying mbanje, broncleer,& astrapain prohibited cough syrups.
"We then searched the bus and found 43 cobs and 69 small sachets of mbanje which we believe weighs hundreds of kilograms. However, the actual weight and value qill be known once we conclude all the pre scene stages," said a security officer.
Most of the mbanje being smuggled from South Africa is meant mostly for high density suburbs in most towns across the country.
