PF Leadership Divided After Sale Of Tanganyika Island

Presidential Affairs Minister Freedom Sikazwe has written to the Commissioner of Lands to consider revoking the title deed for a private citizen who has bought an island on Lake Tanganyika.
Mr. Sikazwe says the over one thousand people that live on the Island were not aware that their village has been given out to an individual.

He told ZNBC news that the community only discovered the island belonged to an individual when a contractor engaged by government to build a school was turned away by the owner of the land.

Mr. Sikazwe who is Mpulungu Member of Parliament said the community has now petitioned him demanding answers on how a title deed was given to an individual without the knowledge of the villagers.

He said what is comforting is that the Ministry of Lands has assured him that something will be done to address the problem.

Mr. Sikazwe said the island on Lake Tanganyika should be for every Zambian and not individuals because they are part of national heritage.

    This story does not show how the leadership is divided. Is it another case of journalism from the wood work?
