Kafue District Council Bans Rearing Of Birds In Residential Areas
The Kafue District Council has with immediate effect given a 90 days ultimatum to residents to stop rearing chickens ,peacocks, roosters and turkeys in the residential areas.
Public Relations Officer Bertha Chola said the practice has turned out to be a nuisance and posing a great danger to the public’s health due to the offensive odour’s and flies emanating from the untidy poultry yards.
Speaking in a telephone interview with ZANIS today, Ms Chola said the local authority is concerned that residents in the district have resorted to rearing chickens and other birds in their residential areas.
Miss Chola said the trend is contrary to the public health Act Cap 295 Section 67 of the laws of Zambia.
She has since advised all residents to comply with the order failure to which the council will commence legal proceedings against all the offenders.

So these pf based local authorities have been sleeping all this time and only realised today that the laws of zambian were been contravened. Is this not the entrepreneurship initiative one clueless stella and pf spoke about? With high levels of poverty during pf reign people need to top up their income by doing business on the side. The high cost of setting up businesses legally is a deterrent. Now this is the support we need from government which is sleeping

Welcome move but with the highest poverty levels ever experienced in our nation’s history, this Council is fighting a losing battle, do you think a politician afraid of losing votes will allow them to do that, let’s watch.

This is where people survive from.Why cannot councll be employed to be inspecting all homes that keeps chickens to make enable people maintain the cleanness.
The other thing People of zambia has just a problem of cleaness.Talk about Lusaka,the first thing that welcoms you is dirty.Ichimutu chalya fresh groundnuts and throws covers on the ground unconcernced,that council will clean,poor manners.Government must educate councils and people on cleaness and put up proper laws.Whoever doesn’t comply,has to be dealt with.The dirtest city is Lusaka.Too much of english on the lips but …..Cleaness is closely to Godlyness.

That is sort of misplacement of priorities. To every problem there is always the best solution and that is what people must look out for. Let us not be childish anymore.

Just advise people in poultry business on how well they can maintain their chicken runs. The majority of these pipo in this business is a source of their livelihood (income). How do you expect them to survive? It will not work out otherwise expect demonstrations and riots in Kafue soon.

Please,get yourselves LAND for such business in the rural areas before it runs out. Very soon, you people shall start crying for land and it wont be there or it shall be too expensive to buy back from LEBANESE, CHINESE, and NYAMULENGES, who are getting our land without any restriction.
GOVERNMENT, PLEASE WORK UP AND STOP THIS ROT!
These guys have no regard for laws and build beyond limits most of the time. The CITY PLANNERS are blind to this or indeed, benefit from such misdeeds.

Well there we go again..All my life I have had a dog for company and took it to the Vet to have it vaccinated. We had indigenous chickens that supplemented our food stocks then. The economy was something to boast about but still had this plan ‘B’. Now…? Uuuum uum uuum, yachita over this famous 90 days or is it just contagious or for effect !!! Some By-laws need amendments or put a limit to how many birds per square meter one is allowed to rear. Or-else u are not providing safety nets in which the enterprising will thrive and u are defeating the entry point to gaining experience necessary to graduate to running successful farms in later years. Please think again its not too late
