Local leaders call for ban of local brew

RUBAVU - Due to an increase in the brewing of illicit alcohol in Rubavu District as well as continued the smuggling of the substance from the Democratic Republic of Congo, authorities in the affected sectors are calling for a total ban of the brew.“Most of the locally made alcohol is mixed with marijuana and the practice is on the increase. We call for a ban on all locally made brews, whether legal or illegal, since all dealers are not genuine,” said the Executive Secretary of Rugerero Sector, Jean Sebikari Munyanganizi.
