Waste Management in Lusaka—what is going on?

Share

By Wesley Ngwenya

If you live in Lusaka, you do not have to go far to see the trash that is continuously piling our front yards, backyards, main roads, side roads, bus stations, markets and virtually everywhere you go. It is disgusting especially at this time of the year. Every time I take the short cut to my place and step on chicken feathers or rotten nshima I cannot help but ask the question; What is the local government’s plan regarding waste management in Lusaka?

I was probably one of the few residents in Lusaka who had the privilege of paying a waste management company to collect my trash weekly when I lived on the other side of town. I am not even sure that service is available on this side of town since I have never seen one of those trucks in this neighborhood.

My proposal to the government is to scrap the TV license fee here in Lusaka after all no one really watches ZNBC. Worse still no one pays the license fee. Thankfully, I don’t own a TV set and if I had one I would find it difficult to pay the fee. Instead of the TV license fee the government departments should work together to convert that into a garbage fee. Every household of Lusaka will be obliged to pay the garbage fee since it disposes waste on a daily basis. This fee can be incorporated on our water bills or land rates whatever is easier for the local authorities. We would then have a central dumpster on every street corner where we can dispose our trash. Every week the trucks would come and do their rounds collecting the trash.

Knowing well the great benefits this would have on my city I would gladly pay my garbage fee. It is no secret that when our trash is collected and disposed in designated landfills we would have a cleaner city. Before you know it we would be breathing cleaner air, drinking cleaner water, eating cleaner food, and living healthy lives. What does this mean for the government? A happy healthy population. This means no longer dying from those funny curable diseases. Instead of residents spending time lining up at clinics and taking days off from work, they would be busy working hard making money for the government.

The government needs to take proactive measures in insuring that they manage the waste problems that our city faces. This may not seem as a big problem now but with the growing population in the city it will be so critical in a few years. Don’t just collect trash in wealthy neighborhood drive by the poor neighborhood too. You never know you could win the voters’ hearts and take Lusaka in 2011.

  1. FIRST that liscence fee is part of zesco bill so if you have electricity my frien tv or not u are paying for it. but i actually agree beta tv (how much better is it?) i think leave it alone and use it for other developements in the respective cities.

  2. As far as I can remember, what waste management? I can not remember seeing a waste vehicle (except in my youth running the streets with no shoes) in over 20 years.

  3. Zoona! I guess we are waiting for investors to come and empty our trash not so Mr, Minister of local government. Instead of crying for funds to treat cholera and other acute diarrheal diseases lets collect trash like it was down during Kaundas reign.

  4. It’s a good idea though it’s beyond garbage collecting. Stop throwing trash in streets from vigubuli, paper to vipukusu

  5. Actually, I don’t pay cash for my TV license. Zesco steals it from me through the units that I buy monthly for electricity, no matter that there is no TV in my house. Secondly, our garbage, at least mu ghetto ku side kwatu, a truck comes in weekly to collect. If they do not pitch, or we have no money for that month, we dump the garbage mu kaNgwelelele.

    Sorry that you find it fit to talk about waste in the city of Lusaka being neglected. The worst waste we have in zambia is the leadership. This is the waste we should embark on putting where it belongs before we talk about household waste building into anthills in our townships.
    Look at one waste called Teta, instead of putting so much pressure on councils to move household and human activity waste, like at Chisokone in Kitwe and that at Soweto and Kamwala markets in Lusaka he is bust scheduling mayoral elections in a confused state, even himself does not understand.

  7. Matworld
    I am fine, very fine actually. Did you notice that I posted first on Patrick Phiri as well as here. But how are you?

  8. On this issue, i can’t blame the council or government but ourselves. waste management is suppose to start with an individual taking responsibility. Here in Zed,people just throw trash any how without caring,be it in streets,town or our home.Be a responsible citizen

  9. Wesley Ngwenya
    That heap of garbage is actually negligible. You need to go right up to the end of Soweto Market to appreciate heaps of garbage and people’s oblivion to it.

  10. Lusaka City is in total mess. Everywere you look, you are assured of seeing dirty lying around , even along Cairo road, which is the heart of Lusaka city. Not to mention the street vendors who are all over.Its very embarassing and it seems no one cares at all.I wonder what Teta is still doing. I thought the honey moon phase is over.

  11. **==**==**==

    its realy pathetic anyway!

    Matworld, you are right man, topics are not intersting.

    Twalanwa what lelo? hop you are not in affected like chief magode
    >:)

  12. Its only when waste stop masquareding in the name of leaders are we going to have cleaner streets, townships and ultimately cities. Waste is big money in other enterprising places but here its is a bother and neglected material. Waste if efficiently managed is good for manure, landfill and as fuel. But tell that to Teta and you will see how he will frown on the idea. We need informed and dedicated leaders, mind you i am saying informed and not educated in that being zambian education does not do us so much good. Look at how the area aroung independence stadium on the great north road has been spoilt in broad day light and in the 21st century. Its like living in the 1880, what a shame MMD.

  13. The TV licence should be completely scapped off country wide, not only in Lusaka. Elsewhere, citizens depend on Free to Air channels and DStv for their entertainment, ZNBC always have extremely boring talk shows, with dull interviewers. They do not deserve our 3K at all.

  14. there is a bylaw that gives the waste management unit power to effectively collect all the garbage. the catch is that the minister of local govt and housing cannot sign into law. the main reason is that it will entail charging the electorate for diposing waste and makes it easy for the next party to be in govt. do you think teta can sign such a bylaw?

  15. Instead of each town having a District administrator, each should have a RUBBISH clearance officer ( or Environmental officer). The people will then know that if the rubbish accumulates there is someone to sort out!!!

  16. Those living in other countries, please share with us how they manage waste. People everywhere generate waste, what matters is how you manage it.

    When I was in Lusaka, private companies were allocated areas to collect waste at a fee. One company collected from us in Kabulonga every week. Rubbished damps at houses became illegal and we all burried them. We used to pay directly to the company for this service.

    In nearby Kalingalinga, Council trucks collected refuse from designated centre points. I wonder if the locals paid for that service.

    I thought this type of waste management has continued, & hpefully improved on.

  17. We have accepted to live under the conditions we are living. Seriously speaking the whole of Lusaka is a rubbish pit.I love my country, but I am getting embarrassed by the way we are neglecting ourselves. The waste around is starting to give me a sense of shame,simply because I have been to places (countries) where a person cannot dare to throw a piece of paper anyhow, not because the law prohibits to do that but because their society has set high standards of responsibility.

  18. What has happened to the Keep Zambia Clean campaign launched by our Late President Mwanawasa?? I thought it was continuity with Mwanawasa’s policies? So some pipo have gone to slessp!!

  19. #28 contd

    Here in the UK, every household pays what is called Council Tax. It’s pretty high. Paid every month. The tax pays for waste collection, police service, fire service etc. Wate is collected every 2 weeks. In some areas they collect recyclable material separately e.g paper, plastic, bottles.

    As you can see, waste management is paid for by households who generate it. Similarly households pay for sewerage service. And of course we pay for TV licences, water, gas and electricity.

    In Zambia too, all households need to pay for waste management. Which we did in Kabulonga (upto 2004).

  20. Ati lets vote opposition in power.Kwisa, they can’t even run a simple council. What is that party’s name led by that chain smoker, oh I hear he quit because he wants to rule Zambia at 98 years old. The truth is this garbage did not just accumulate today. Lusaka was not this dirty under MMD councils. Which parties have been running Lusaka City Council for the last eight years? Is it FDD ( Ba fididi) or PF ( poor finishing). Awe leave MMD out of this. Don’t blame Teta, please. I don’t remember Lusaka ever being clean in the last 8 years. 2011, I hope you know who to vote for, the party with the people who know how to keep our capital city clean. I leave it at

  21. Apart from waste generated by households, people’s attitudes need to change too. In Zambia we seem to care less about the environment and cleanness. We throw rubbish anywhere.

    You can see people throw rubbish from cars thru the window. Bus travellers do the same. Look at main roads like Lusaka-Copperbelt. They are litterd with food wrappers.

    Bus operators should provide bags where people can throw rubbish and empty them on arrival. This is waste management. Car drivers can do the same. Those who walk can do it too. This is waste management.

  22. Tionge

    The campaign also went into coma immediately Mwanawasa was announced dead.

    I entirely blame the Minister. Our former Minister alteast tried her best to restore sanity to the city though not to the desirable standard. The street vendors are major contributors to this garbage.

  23. Ba Moze, we can meet pa times(arcades) around 20hrs. matworld and Chewe,whats for the weekend? tikali kutali na waste management mu Zambia.

  24. #35 Leave Teta alone, this dirty has been there for the last 8 years. Teta only went to local govt last year. Lusaka has been..anyway check my post on #34 for details

  25. No. 9 Yakumbuyo you are the people who dont pay for services, or else tell us where you live because these trucks have garbage collection shifts in most residential areas of Lusaka and i believe other councils have similar arrangements in their localities (save for those who are still sleeping like old men). For this the willing residents pay a fixed fee per month. WMMU are always advertising their services. Be proactive and demand for these services from your local councils … man!8-|

  26. Baby C!

    I think pa Zed natushupafye. We can’t manage anything on our own. Next we shall be asking pipo to manage our bed rooms.

  27. # Imwe ba Baby C tell the national the truth. Who runs the councils? Local Govt minister or Councilors from political parties? Also tell the nation, which parties have been running Lusaka since Chiluba left office. Lets have facts first before you start attacking my people in MMD. I think people on this blog are treating the opposition with Kid gloves. Hold them to account as well please. Leave Teta out of this. If you want to talk about Mayoral elections, that is another debate.For this debate, Teta has nothing to do with it .

  28. Dirtiest towns in Zambia.
    1. Lusaka
    2. Kitwe
    3. Ndola
    4. Kapiri
    Its official cholera is now an annual epidemic in Zambia, meanwhile RB has declared 28 October as a national holiday in Zambia.

  29. #38 Rashid Jones

    “tikali kutali na waste management mu Zambia.”

    I agree. But isn’t there a way of knowing whether we have even began the journey to effective waste management?

    the writer hasn’t told us whether he has interviewed council or govt officials. As usual he has rather complained. This kind of journalism doesn’t help us much. Anyway, we need to know whether we are making progress at all regarding waste management. We dont want to be in same place 20 yrs down the line.

  30. #44 hehehehe. Again Kitwe City Council=PF, Ndola City Council = PF, Lusaka City Council =PF Kapiri Mposhi ( City Area /Urban Area)=PF

    What more can I say SCOREBOARD: PF 4-0 MMD this is the results of the dirtiest political party tournament playing out in Zambia now

  31. #43

    And as the council been adequately funded by the goverment towards this noble cause??? if so how much money was allocated????

  32. General Kanene1

    I think you keep Ndola out of the list. It can not be compared to Kitwe and Lusaka. Ndola is clean. i was there on Wednesday.

  33. # 47 All Councils were adequately funded through out the country. In fact councils are even told to draw up their own budget. Masebo would testify to this. There were councils who even returned money to the treasury. Masebo was on about service delivery last year she even had to dissolve one council in eastern Province I think which kept using funds just on salaries. Yes I admit, it was one of the non performing MMD council and we sorted it in no time and things are back to normal

  34. UK ZED observer, kudos to you.

    You raise a whole lot of valid points.
    Nice to see that kind of objectivity for once on LT. Keep it comming.

  35. Rashid

    No problem mwana. 20hrs is fine. Tichilizeko boyi.

    The author should avoid phrases like, “this side of town” and “that side of town”. He must be specific if he wants this topic to be meaningful. Whats wrong with simply saying he now resides in Mutenderesdale? or Chibolya park? or better still John laingesdale?
    This issue squarely falls on TETA the loud mouth. Thats his job and yet he is busy fighting PF councilors. 😕

  36. Lusaka is not the only city that has to struggle with cleanliness. Some areas in London also look like Soweto market…just responding to your interesting comments.

  37. No. 45 UK-Zed Observer, It’s very encouraging to get such contributions especially from a fellow Zambian who is in the diaspora. To some extent I strongly feel us as citizens we are not doing much in keeping our surroundings clean, though Lusaka Waste Management has to be seen to be working.

  38. Nine Chale, Firstly greetings

    My brother, lets not compare ourselves with london. You ve said quite well and i quote” Some areas in London also look like Soweto market…” I bet most parts of london are clean compared to ours.Now Look , in Zambia all the major cities are dirty including towns.

  39. **==**==**==
    any latest on the fatal accident yestrday?

    is the careless driver still on the run or aprehended?

    Help please…

  40. #58 Baby C

    Greetings to you too. I well agree with you. My comment was merely an attempt to broaden the parameters of this debate. At least it worked…

  41. In the village we breathe clean air, have clean rivers and can afford to swim in these rivers.

    Town people on the other hand breathe poluted air, drink rationed water and cant swim in their rivers e.g thames, Rhine, ….

  42. 53 Baby c, you are not telling the truth. They are other dirty cities else where. Though we can do better. Kwanu ni kwanu.

  43. MMD CHIEF BOOTLICKER
    Stop being silly and useless on this blog. The majority councillors in Lusaka, Ndola and Kitwe are PF. But who runs the govt. The overall policy formulation, implementation and enforcemnet lie with the will power and energy of the govt of the day. Show me any council with MMD councillors which is clean and as such serves as an example to PF lead councils. The rot starts with the head who is Teta (MMD minister) and the rest is water under the bridge. If the MMD govt paid rates to councils for all the govt building councils will have money to carry oiut their duties.

  44. Sensible contributions # 17 and 21. Worrisome contributions #34, 39, 43 and 49. It’s not just the garbage in the streets that is of concern here, even in offices. Most govt offices are totally off the wall and need a facelift. These are not political issues, they are real and politicising them simply means we are insensitive to our own problems and just because we collect a pay check here and there for towing lines should not lead us into that level of degeneration. I don’t care who is who but if I walk into a mordern 21st centuary passport office with proper ventilation, I will certainly be proud to be Zambian and not MMD, PF or UPND. Politicising these issues is nonsense period.

  45. #66

    Thats why am planning to go and settle in my beautiful village. Lets go back to the land, this town life is not doing some of us any good.

  46. Continued from 65
    MMD having been in power should have learnt that viable revenue collection such as motor vehicle fitness and licences fees, taxes from business doing trading in particular councils should be left to councils to make them financially sound. Govt should have allowed councils to collect poles levy be from zamtel or zesco. Govt should have been paying rates for their building other than hiding in grants as a means of funding councils. With the foregoing councils would have had the capacity to do much more better. However MMD govt collects everything even K5 pin summons fees into one account called control 99 making stealing easier for those at finance and in govt.

  47. #70

    You have been missing out! Stay in the village for just 1 week and you will feel your whole lungs re-energized.

    Some sick people in town just need to take a break at the village. It will be like being given an oxygen boost.

  48. My village hat (dwelling) does not need a.c. It is set for any condition. No need for congestion like that filthy place called chawama. What are those people doing staying in such filthy conditions when they can stay well in the village?

  49. People why are you only talking about Lusaka?.Gabbage at your back yard is not coucil’s responsibility.It beggins with you.London is london.America is America.If you fail to pay Tv licence fee,fail to buy afree to air decoder surely can you afford to pay those heavy taxes to the coucil for roads,gabbage and general enviroment that Americans and English pay? ah.

  50. We all know that Zambia has more to offer in terms of beauty than what we see in Lusaka. Lusaka is just an administration center but it’s citizens can give it a metropolitan identity like the Londoners, Romans or New Yorkers have done to their cities.
    Why is it that whenever tourists come to Zambia, they only use Lusaka as an arrival & departure zone? In-between, they would rather be in Livingstone, Siavonga, etc.

  51. Kiswa

    I have done that before. It doesnt work !I tried to advise people here and there but they thought i was too :-@. so….i decided to:-$

  52. The lungs of most people are filled with soot. The bigger the city the more soot in their lungs making people living in cities unofficially smokers by default.

  53. Real Brain
    edited – Please mind your language
    people are getting sick(cholera)specially in compounds because
    of the same uncollectted gabbage.and there you are talking about “GOVT OFFICES”!!

  54. Ok given several cases of root poisoning occurs in the village once in a while (though scorned and mocked for this), town dwellers are willfully eating food that is laced with slow killing poison.

    How for goodness sake can you eat a chicken that has been given heavy dozes of growth hormones. A chicken fully grown in two week?!
    That is a favourite menu for town dwellers.

  55. #17 Yes waste management should start with us, from our homes, our backyards, our offices, on the streets etc, and ofcourse as some great men and women have mentioned, within the government. Motorists, pedestrians and anyone throwing rubbish around should be fined. Each one of us should be responsible enough. Zambia is just too dirty……………starting from the airport.

    #35 Lets just put more pressure on this issue

  56. Those cars you town dwellers you boast about are giving your towns so much dirt. So much scrap vehicles, so much smoke, so much noise besides bad manners- I have seen so many a spoiled kid dangling on the edges of a min size bus shouting his lungs out to all the miserable people trying to avoid the path of the monister he rides.

    When are these boys loitering the streets going to find time to till and tender the gardens? When are they ever going to find time to read? I guess these are they that call them selves the Bwato people, kaponyas, kabovas ….

  57. My kamcape is better dressed than most of these bwato chaps vending their intriguing trade in town. When he throws his bones, I confess sometimes I can not imagine a better spectacle.

  58. Bwanji imwe banthu! Am just back from Zed and to tell you the truth, our politicians are crap!I could write a book about how useless they are but i wouldnt want to bore you.In kafue Indians recently built a steel company and initially employed Zambians for casual labor.After a few months they were all layed off and truck loads of Indians were brought in.So how will you keep a place clean na ba mwenye all over!Infact it also happened ku kcm. 20 chaps cramped in a 2bedroomed house.Honestly how will sanity prevail if we have pipo like abena teta na rb at the helm.Ifyabupuba fyeka fyeka!

  59. Mustang, thats uncalled for. So you think govt. offices and the congestion you find (e.g passport office)therein will not be perfect grounds for transmition of airbone diseases such as TB? I understand your concern because for cholera, you can easily trace the origin whereas for TB you cant and the hemorrhage is slow. And by the way, and assuming you understand English, I said “It’s not just the garbage in the streets that is of concern here, even in offices” which implies that I am talking about garbage in offices and on the streets such as the one that gives you high blood pressure. I am sorry if you lost a relative to cholera by the way.

  60. My village colleague has confessed to me besides the amazement he gets when he sees the tall houses, about the stinging instinct that occurs within him to hide the minute he disembarks from the bus ferrying him from the village. ‘Why?’ I have asked him several times.’I swear, he is the type that would fear no man and this certainly is no cause for his disturbance. But he has said ‘ The filth and the dirt’

  61. most of us Zambians are not responsible. Garbage is thrown anyhow. Let cleanliness start with each one of us

  62. Disposal of garbage is simple “basic sanitation” which should be planned way in advance before setting up any city. What we have today is incompetence on the part of leaders at its best. This is what happens when you entrust running affairs of a country to people who seem not to understand the fundamentals of govt. Garbage in garbage out is what is most prevailing in most of the leaders heads. So, if someones head is full of garbage, what good would you expect from such a person? A garbage statement was uttered by a Minister that large gathering to demonstrate against mealie meal prices with facilitate cholera, why? Incompetence to combat the surge, but only using it as weapon to discourage

  63. Mustang , are you ok up stairs? Real brain is right.Dont argue if you only have insults in your mouth and no ideas.

  64. Hey Mustang come on man!!! Garbage is garbage, street, office, house name it. And here:

    VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE YOU GO IS THE CATCH PHRASE. BY THE WAY YOU CARS DO NOT START WHEN IT SNOWS

  65. Mustung please, you have learnt new dangerous words hhhm!! Where are you? You just finished your A levels and got a scholarship is it to USA or UK? Congratulations!!! Watch that ebonics, you could be writing those dangerous words even after graduation.

  66. Looks like bloggers have sited people’s attitudes and personal responsibility as some of the causes of the dirt we see in our cities.

    How can we change people’s ways of doing things in this area. Do we have hope that it can be done. Who can take on the challenge of educating the people of Zambia in this matter?

  67. Finally, do we have any students of Urban development on this blog. Perhaps you can shed some light on how a proper and sustainable urban development is supposed to be done.

    #50 Ze Mule. Thanks.
    #57 The Blackman’s Child. Thanx.

    Signing off soon. Have a great weekend, fellow bloggers.

  68. #28,
    I believe each developed country has its own way/system of managing waste. It starts from public awareness in the homes,( so you tell all your kids) were to dispose total rubbish etc .Each house hold has 3 bins per say. The normal waste collected every week, recycling every alternate week and green waste from your garden alternates with the recycling. Its all levied through council tax and your respectable local councils. Sewage is levied by your local water company.Zambia has to start from public awareness.. to be continued..

  69. THE BIGGEST LESSON FROM CHILUBA’S JUDGMENT

    “This is what I find funny about our African “anti-imperialist” Marxist revolutionaries: when it suits them, they preach against the West, but when they want to buy suits, they always go West!”

    By Chanda Chisala, 16 May 2007
    ——————————————————————-

  70. Both government and the publice need to be aware of their responsibility in this matter. Until Zambians learn the importance of cleanliness and appropriate waste disposal and, equally, until the government provides the services that facilitate proper waste disposal, this issue will be with us for decades to come. Bottom line is neither the government nor the residents are living up to their responsibilities.

  71. Real Brain, thanks for your in depth thinking. These are bloggers we do not need abena Mustang. Lets dicuss these very important issues objectively like ba UK-Zed observer naba Geologist. Lets build a strong base for further ideas on how to tackle problems in Zambia. Maybe our leaders will pick up a few points. To be honest I would rather pay a garbage collection monthly fee than paying TV licence. I will be sure that my money is going to someone making a positive impact on our enviroment better than someone being paid for sitting around and showing me old movies and bad adverts on ZNBC. I hope someone can write a story on ZNBC service delivery too.

  72. #108, Cont.
    long distance buses need a wakeup call too. Everyone is busy eating mangoes, and leaving groundnut shells ,maize cobbs, sugarcane wastes under the seats. Others with no guilty conscious just throw the rubbish outside the window of a moving bus.
    Keeps me wondering as to what goes on in their minds..
    Its a two way avenue in this case (govt. Vs peoples attitudes) but when is it going to happen? No wonder cholera is in our corridors everyday. :-?:-?:-w

  73. Wats all “on the other side of town”, ” on this side of town”, “In this neighbourhood”? where is this? Anyhow, where are the ngungululus? anyone remember them? when i was growing up this helped en there were rubbish trucks that picked them (ngungululus) weekly. This was in L/stone. Im sure this can still help.

  74. The only problem with Zambia is that even if we started paying for gabage collection… the garbage wont be collected. It will go as payment towards another Hummer!

  75. We are asking you as a Zambian despite your Party affiliation to go to Lusaka Times and sign the Petition,Call relatives,friends and all the Zambians you know to go and make their voice known by signing the petition.It has been 24 hrs since the petition drive started and less than 100 Zambians have signed the petition we need 50,000 – 100,000 signatures.We are counting on your petition.

  76. UK-Zed Observer – I encourage you to examine the experience of Curitiba, Brazil, as an example of success in tackling urban waste on a budget.

  77. This woman sitting at this sorry sight dumpstop ,continues to amaze me.

    How can a human being spend a minute sitting there. I know she selling vibwitiza/fikunkubiti for her income/survival..
    But what is going on in her mind?…. all that filth…and she is so comfortable..nalimo chintelelwe bakonkele.

    Maybe, could be normal sight for her, nothing wrong at all? :o:o:o:o

  78. Lusaka is dirty! The council gets rates and all sorts of taxes, but no services are offered to the residents of Lusaka. The sad thing is people never take the council to task….they’ve become quite oblivious to the dirt…..its sickening. Its really the Grace of God that we dont have Cholera.

  79. # 114 Baroste Queen lets chat. you and I must have been neighbours. We always had a Ngugulu under the mango tree and every one set day in a week my brothers would take it to the gate to await the rubbish truck. that was along Lusaka road, milemba avenue. Tell me where you there in the days of Sheereree?

  80. Both the councils and our Ministers are to blame!!!
    its seems these jobs are just try your lucky!!!
    Ask Teta what waste management is and he start yapping of nonsense!!
    Other countries are managing these issues because the Leaders are in the forefront!!! pa Zed ala mwandi yalikosa!!!

  81. Next time you hear of any programme like ‘Keep Zambia Clean’ expect the situation to be worse than before the programme was launched. This is my sad observation with most these programmes I see in Zambia. When shall we mobilise ourselves for higher achievement?

  82. Thank you for every other wonderful post. The place else could anybody get that type of information in such an ideal method of writing? I’ve a presentation next week, and I’m at the search for such info.

  83. Hi, I do think this is an excellent web site. I stumbledupon
    it ;) I may revisit yet again since i have book marked it.
