Police, LCC Issues Ultimatum To Street Vendors
Street Vendors in Kitwe @ Shoprite entrance
And Colonel Chanda has issued a 90 day ultimatum to the Lusaka City Council to ensure that all business houses in Lusaka, Chongwe and places are painted.
Colonel Chanda says government does not what to see the situation of street vending along Lumumba road and freedom way filtering into Cairo road.
He tells QFM says the ultimatum is with immediate effect and is non-negotiable.
Colonel Chanda says Cairo road must be left to operate freely without street vending while government is attending to the situation along Lumumba road and freedom way.
He notes that anyone found conducting business along Cairo road will be arrested and prosecuted without compromise.
And Colonel Chanda has warned that government will have no choice but to revoke trading licenses of business houses that will not adhere to the directive to paint their shops and mend and maintain their pavements.
The provincial minister notes that it is so unfortunate that business houses only want to make profits without taking care of their areas, when it is their responsibility and needs no reminder.

Ala chawama ichintu icho! Cairo road is stinking, infact the entire city is smelling of urine and poop. Please can that be extended to freedom way and Lumumba with immediate effect.

Why exert unecessary energied on hapless vendors when illegal squatters are building houses on the national railway line between Chawama and Lilayi? As matter of fact some families have even moved into these homes with one of these houses just 11m from the rail line!

Can we deal with vendors once and for all? Each business must be conducted in its rightful place. Can you imagine what would happen if I also started mining copper or limestone in Cairo Rd since I am in mining?

And does it make civic sense for big companies like Airtel and MTN to occupy a ramshackle in Chisekesi or Mwandi and paint it their corporate colours and start selling BB’s? Laws should be passed to compel such companies to put up proper structures, even small ones. So after 90 days painting, order them to build proper structures mr. minister.

this is what you need to do. Clean up the mess that our president created by making vending free for all. We still have time to make redress. We need a clean Zambia. All provincial ministers take a leaf from the soldier in Lusaka.

The writer called ‘Tonga Bull’ must be traced. Infact he is not even a Tonga. Tongas have alot of respect for our National leaders and the rulling party. Our able Security Officers shud pliz quickly move in and investigate this writer. Check his/her E-mail address, for we can only put comments on this site(tumfweko) when one writes his/her E-mail.

Very good move, but make the built markets operational by making it purely illegal to trade along the road, no corruption when allocation of stands. If vendors were clean enough, it could have helped maybe but we need a clean Zambia.

independent heads are able to make sound decisions.un like the head of state who is still dancing to the tune of the post in order to make a decision.for instance the critical complaint of the judgement of th 14bm forced ukwa to make judiciary reforms.in more democratically nations such decisions have to be lobbed from all stakeholders not from un individual.

Thumbs up please do the same to all towns arrest all street venders lets keep Zambia clean. It must not be only Cairo rd it must be all the streets until proper stalls are made. You must know these venders need water and toilets now since they cant find them in the streets they end up urinating and shiting anywhare.

President Michael Sata has told international delegates and other presidents that whiskey pollutes the environment.
Sata who is attending the Rio+20 world conference on climate change and sustainable development in Rio, Brazil was speaking Wednesday evening.
During his remarks, Sata invited the delegates to travel to Zambia next year to attend the United Nations World Tourism Conference which will be co-hosted by Zimbabwe .
“Come to Zambia and see what we have. We will waive some visa requirements and give you a visa on arrival.
“We have enough water for everyone, including the Greeks and Italians. We have wild animals and there is a lot more to see. The only thing we do not have in abundance is whiskey and that is because whiskey pollutes the environment,” he said.

@mosquito, how do you advise the so called bull something, to stop insulting by isulting him?, not rily a good idea coz he will know you are like him and he will not take you serious. when a fool and the right minded person fight or argue, it is dificot to make a distinction as to which one of the two is a fool. two wrongs cant make things right.

HEADLINE TIMES OF ZAMBIA APRIL 12, 2017:
“103 PERISH AS TRAIN DERAILS AND PLOUGHS INTO HOUSES BUILT ON THE RAILWAY LINE IN LUSAKA”
Zambians woke up to a rude shock as a north bound goods train operated by Spoornet on concession from Zambia Railways killed at least 100 people who were asleep in their houses built hardly 15metres west of the railway line south of lusaka.
the horror was described as the worst calamity to befall the country since the 70s when a similar number of lives were lost in the explosives accident and mine flooding in Mufulira.
Certain citizens, though blamed govt for refusing to demolish these houses as they were being built way back in 2012 between Chawana and Lilayi

can we compare the statements made by the following people.
1. silva Masebo
street vending should come to an end.
2. Micheal Sata
leave street vendors that’s where they get their food.
3. Col. G Chanda
Seven day ultnentum vendors should move out of the streets.
who is saying the truth and these leaders not from the same party and government? please honest answers

June 22, 2012 at 4:12 pm
Guy Scott is on record having stated the position of government on street vending in very clear terms this morning in Parliament. “Government will not remove street vendors from the streets until the PF government finds jobs for them.” What a misdirection! To the contrary, street vendors are already self-employed. All they need is relocation to convinient market places that promise an equal patronage (flow) of customers. They also need an assurance that those market places will be free of political interference (cadre manipulation). Believe me guys the police-LCC’s ultimatum to street vendors is a non-starter. (Uncoordinated Actions / Reactions / Responses / Planning).
