The Container Depot in Bulawayo is full of items taken by the government. They want to stop illegal trade. The goods include cars, stoves, fridges, alcohol, and diapers.
Many agencies are working together on this mission. They include the police, central bank, tax office, and consumer group. Their aim is to block banned imports, which hurt the economy and people.
The campaign against smuggling will continue. The agencies have orders to do their jobs firmly and fairly. They want to protect local businesses.
The task force is good at catching smuggled items at borders. They recently stopped buses carrying suspect goods.
A top official, Tafadzwa Muguti, visited the depot on Thursday. He saw that the warehouses were packed with all kinds of things. From kitchen items to baby products and more.
Mr. Muguti stressed that the law applies to everyone. He said there will be no exceptions in the fight against illegal trade.
"We have zero tolerance for smuggling now," he said. "It is our new way of life."
The government is very serious about this issue. They believe it will help strengthen the economy and keep citizens safer from risky goods.
But it will be a tough battle. Smugglers are determined to keep bringing things in. The task force will need to stay one step ahead.
