Imithethonqubo kanye namazinga embonini yezimonyo zaseTanzania yakhelwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi noma imiphi imikhiqizo ephathelene nezempilo futhi engaphephile ngeke ingeniswe, yenziwe, igcinwe futhi isetshenziselwe ukuthengiswa noma isipho ngaphandle kokuthi ihlangabezane namazinga akhona kazwelonke noma aphesheya.
Ngakho-ke, iTanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) inethemba lokuthi bonke abathengisi abasebenza ebhizinisini lezimonyo bazofakazela ihhovisi ukuthi imikhiqizo yobuhle abayisebenzisayo iphephile futhi iphilile. "Imininingwane evela ku-TBS izohola abahwebi ukuthi basuse izimonyo ezinobuthi neziyingozi emashalofini abo ukuze kuvinjelwe ukuthi le mikhiqizo ingasatshalaliswa ezimakethe zendawo," kusho uMnu Moses Mbambe, Umxhumanisi Wokubhaliswa Kwe-TBS Food and Cosmetics.
Ngokwe-2019 Finance Act, i-TBS iphoqelekile ukwenza imisebenzi yokwazisa ngomthelela wezimonyo ezinobuthi futhi ihlole okwesikhashana kuzo zonke izimonyo ezithengisiwe ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo eyingozi iyanyamalala emakethe yendawo.
Ngaphezu kokuthola imininingwane eyiyo mayelana nezimonyo ezingeyona ingozi kwi-TBS, abathengisi bezimonyo kudingeka futhi babhalise zonke izimonyo ezithengiswa eshalofini ukuqinisekisa ikhwalithi nokuphepha kwazo.
Ngokwe-African Trade Research Centre, izimonyo eziningi ezisetshenziswa ezimakethe zakuleli eTanzania zingeniswa kwamanye amazwe. Yingakho i-TBS kufanele iqinise ukulawula ukuqinisekisa ukuthi imikhiqizo yobuhle engena emakethe yasekhaya iyahlangabezana namazinga kazwelonke.
