South Africa welcomes Zimbabwe’s lift of maize importation ban

THE South African government has welcomed Zimbabwe’s decision to lift the ban on the importation of maize and other grains.

South Africa’s reaction comes at a time when vigilante groups in the neighbouring country are conducting raids targeting foreigners and blocking them  from accessing health facilities claiming they are straining the country’s national resources and taking their
jobs.

In a statement recently, South Africa Agriculture minister John Steenhuisen welcomed the Harare’s move to lift the ban on maize and other grains’ importation.
