Two men have appeared in court for allegedly repackaging their own animal feed into National Foods 50kg sacks bearing Zadzadanga stickers.
Blessed Badze, 38, and Simbarashe Mugwagwa, 44, appeared at the Harare Magistrates’ Court facing charges of selling goods to which a registered trademark is falsely applied.
The court heard that in October 2026, the complainant received a tip-off that the accused were packaging animal feed in National Foods sacks and attaching Zadzadanga brand stickers for Good Cooking Investments.
The complainant allegedly sent Mike Cephas to investigate the packing site at the National Railways Complex.
The accused reportedly hired a vehicle, registration number AHL 8709, and went to an offloading bay between Second Street and South Avenue in Harare.
