Under what circumstances did the Ministry classify mnazi as an illicit alcoholic drink, despite the known fact that it is a natural coastal drink tapped directly from coconut trees? 2. What measures has the government put in place to ensure preservation of culture, including the cultural heritage associated with the Mnazi drink and other traditional drinks, while implementing the crackdown on illicit brews? 3. What initiative has the Ministry undertaken to ensure compliance with the law and accurate implementation of the directive on illicit brews without favour or discrimination?"
