The controversy surrounding Innscor’s alleged deployment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in their food products has intensified, with human rights activist Abigale Mupambi and International Coalition Against Covid-19 and African Development Zimbabwe Vice President Max Mkandla joining the fray.
Mupambi criticized the recent legal victory of Innscor against Pan-Africanist Rutendo Matinyarare, saying,
“The court’s decision is meaningless without addressing the core allegations. Is Innscor supplying potentially cancerous products to the market?”
Mupambi urged Zimbabweans to boycott Innscor’s fast-food outlets until the company addresses the serious health concerns.
“We could be facing a health crisis, evidenced by long hospital queues mirroring those at fast-food restaurants.”
Mkandla supported Mupambi’s stance, warning that GMOs might be a long-term indirect depopulation strategy.
“The rate at which cancer is escalating in Zimbabwe must be a cause for concern. Authorities must investigate Matinyarare’s claims.”
Mupambi emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability from major corporations, saying,
“Innscor must answer the critical question: Do their products contain GMOs that could be carcinogenic?”
The activists’ concerns reflect a broader call for consumer rights and public health protection in Zimbabwe. As Mupambi stressed,
“Investment should not come at the expense of public health and safety.”
