Tanzania: Prosecute Windhoek Beer Smugglers, DPP Urged
MABIBO Beer Wine and Spirit Limited have asked the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to prosecute all the people who have caused the government to suffer pecuniary losses in terms of revenue for smuggling Windhoek Premium Lager Beer in Tanzania. Already two businessmen, Ambere Mwaseba (38) and Sebastian Kavishe (45), have been arraigned at the Kisutu Resident Magistrate’s Court in Dar es Salaam for allegedly infringement of exclusive rights of the company by trading several cartons of the beer brand valued at over 107m/-. “Smuggling of Windhoek Premium Lager Beer has great negative impact in the country’s economy,” the Executive Chairman with the Company, Mrs Bernadette Rugemalira, told journalists in Dar es Salaam on Friday. She emphasized that to avoid confusion with other smuggled products, the beer brand for the Company on both bottles and boxes would have a specific indication showing that the sole distributor of the beer brand would be Mabibo Beer and Spirit Limited in addition with gradual MB66 mark. Stressing on the need of respecting the Rule of Law at the same meeting, Independent International Consultant with the company, Mr James Rugemalira, said Mabibo Beer and Spirit Limited was the sole importer and distributor of the beer brand in the country.
