Smuggling of consumer
goods increases in Zaire
United Press International
MOKAMBO, Zambia
Shortages caused by the recent war
in Zaire’s Shaba province have led to
a dramatic increase in the smuggling
of consumer goods from neighboring
Zambia, according to officials at the
tiny frontier post.
The smugglers, using trucks,
bicycles and wheelbarrows to
negotiate the hundreds of tracks
which criss-cross the unmarked bor
der around here, are slipping fur
tively into Zaire with hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of Zam
bian corn meal, cooking oil and soap
powder, the officials say.
Although the Zambian govern
ment has stepped up patrols along
the border it admits to being power
less to stop the illegal traffic because
of the nature of the terrain and tra
ditionally close contacts between
tribes on both sides of the border.
“It is getting worse now,” con
ceded one official. “The Shaba war
has left the province in a mess and
people are coming here to shop.”
During the war this spring, gov-
' ernment forces, aided by Moroccan
troops, crushed an invasion from
Angola into copper-rich Shaba —
formerly called Katanga — by sev
eral thousand exiled Katangese gen
darmes.
The Zambians have no objection
to Zaireans crossing at policed bor
der posts, buying their goods and
paying Zambian customs duty when
they return to Zaire.
What they are concerned about is
the huge trade that is developing in
smuggled goods and the effect it is
having on the Zambian economy.
The smugglers purchase their
goods at stores in the large mining
centers of Ndola and Kitwe, causing
shortages which anger local resi
dents.
“Why should we go short just to
feed Zaire?” complained a housewife
in a supermarket in Ndola. “The
smugglers are taking the food out of
our mouths.”
Those involved in the smuggling
racket are both Zambian and Zairean
and their motive appears to be one of
pure profit.
A bag of corn meal bought in Zam
bia for $10 sells in Zaire for $30 and
most other smuggled goods are also
traded at two or three times their
original price.
But it is not simply a one-way traf
fic. Zaire buys more than 20,000 tons
of goods a month from South Africa
and some of these find their way back
into Zambia whose links with the
south are much more tenuous.
In recent weeks South African ap
ples and butter have been sold in the
cities and towns on the Zambian
copper belt at vastly inflated prices.
But because apples are otherwise
unobtainable in Zambia people seem
prepared to pay the price.
Other rackets have developed
around the smuggling, according to
border officials.
They say that because police are
unable to patrol all the tiny tracks
across the frontier, gangs of thugs are
making substantial sums through
tolls.
The gangs set themselves up at
known frontier crossings and de
mand “duty” from the Smugglers be
fore they are allowed to proceed into
Zaire.
Some of the gangs are armed and
officials say that murders are not un
common.
On the Zairean side of the border,
similar practices are carried out on
what is called the “pedicle” road, a
50-mile stretch of bitumen which
links Zambia’s copper belt with its
northern and Luapula provinces.
Zairean police and army officials
demand bribes before allowing
travelers to proceed on the road and
local chiefs frequently set up road
blocks and demand toll monti
Long standing complaiJpL
