Please, Clean Up Lusaka-Its too Dirty!
Dear Editor,
AFTER many, many months I recently drove through Cairo Road in Lusaka and I was appalled at the state of affairs.
The road is dirty – garbage not collected and the vegetation unattended to.
What happened to the campaign ‘Keep Lusaka Clean’? What are the city officials doing to address the situation?
And are we, the citizens of Lusaka, not proud of our own environment? Lusaka, after all, used to be called ‘The Garden City’.
With Cairo Road in an apparent freefall and Lumumba Road in a state which can qualify to be described as an ‘environmental disaster’, who is out there to arrest the situation?
CITIZEN JOE.

I have never seen a police man on Cairo road. Town is filthy. Even people from Harare laugh at us.

1. THE CAPITAL OF AFRICA’S BIGGEST COPPER PRODUCER
2. THE CAPITAL CITY OF THE FIRST SOUTHERN AFRICAN COUNTRIES TO ATTAIN INDEPENDENCE
3. THE CAPITAL OF ONE OF THE MOST PEAFUL COUNTRIES IN AFRICA
4. THE CAPITAL OF A COUNTRY SURROUNDED BY EIGHT COUNTRIES FROM WHOM TO DRAW LESSONS ON CLEANLINESS
JUST HOW DID THIS HAPPEN KANSHI? IS THERE A RULE IN ZAMBIA THAT GOVT OFFICES SHOULD BE VERY DIRTY?
HAVE YOU SEEN HOW BROKEN FURNITURE IS HOPELESSILY PACKED AND DISPLAYED AT THE ZAMBIAN HIGH COMMISSION IN SA, OR EVEN AT CABINET OFFICE?

Citizen Joe you are talking to yourself no one is listening this is an all knowing government. I understand the minister of local government is a woman if this is the way she keeps her house she needs alangizi. That is if she is listening.

keeping lusaka dirty can not be avoided since market places have moved to the streets by the permission of the Law. Lets just see how best we can help the govt to make it clean

Lusaka has always been filthy. The reason is too many aba ku Chipata ne citundu cabo iciNyanja. Ndola is dominated by abaBemba and you can see how they have teamed up with abaLamba to clean the city dispite street vendors. AbaBemba babusaka naturally.
