Hello Grain Millers Association. Its Makokoba not Makokova.Pelandaba not Pelandava. .Burnside not Benside. #Asakhe
In response, GMAZ has issued the following statement apologising for the error and said:

The spelling mistakes were in all the English, Shona, and Ndebele languages ( documents), and there was not intention whatsoever, to offend any particular grouping. The corrected document is now available. We, however, take the blame given the fact that the leaked and unedited document unintentionally ended up in the public domain and was consumed by innocent citizens.
One again we would like to unreservedly apologize for this unfortunate eventuality. The decision to announce the maize meal zoning measure was urgent and it was meant for the benefit of our citizens, during the difficult time we are faced with.
