MANGWE Rural District Council in Matebeleland South Province has issued drastic measures to mopane worms(amacimbi/ madora) harvesters which will see outsiders no longer allowed to harvest the popular delicacy in areas under its jurisdiction.
Individuals who intend to harvest amacimbi should have a valid permit from the council while traditional leaders and council employees would be monitoring them while ensuring that there would be no pollution of water bodies and destruction of vegetation during harvesting of the popular delicacy.
