Picture Of The Day !
A house in Lusaka’s Kamwala township has a ZESCO pole protruding through its sitting room roof and the house is beautiful.
The Lusaka City Council is very much aware and so is ZESCO. This can indeed only happen in Africa.
Will the house be demolished?, We await to see the action which will be taken by relevant authorities.

There was a case where a sewer pipe burst into someone’s living room. Aleikala fye mumafi tenant.
In short, both council and Zesco are both dead and full of relatives as workers. Does Zesco carry out periodical inspections of its assets?

THIS PICTURE IS NOT DOCTORED.THERE WAS A VIDEO CLIP ON THE 6:30 NEWS ON MUVI TV TODAY.I SAW THE PICTURE.THE SOLUTION TO THIS IS TO DEMOLISH THE STRUCTURE AND PROSECUTE THE IDOT(LANDLORD) AND THE COUNCIL WORKER WHO GAVE HIM THE PLOT.THIS IS WHAT CORRUPTION CAN DO.NEXT TIME SOME CRAZY PERSON WILL BUILD A SHOP ON MIDDLE OF CAIRO ROAD IN LUSAKA.THIS ROT SHOULD STOP AND SOME HEADS AT THE COUNCIL SHOULD ROLL OUT.

No structures are supposed to be built under ZESCO power lines. As power passes through the lines a magnetic field is created around the lines and these field can cause cancer. If you check, no one is allowed to trade under the ZESCO power lines at SOWETO market in Lusaka. If trading is not allowed, what about sleeping under the power lines. This is maddness of it’s worst kind.

KK used to say “Go back to the land”
why do people want to live in urban areas if their living is so dangerous?
Go back to the land- you live with more safety and dignity in the village

you can not blame the council for demolishing illegal structures the fact is that when the illegal structures are not demolished you end up having situations like this. and the truth of the matter is that the same people who are building these are also crying to the president that he should have mercy.
