This follows wide consultations with the Government on how best to resolve the issue of street vending that has become an eyesore in the capital city.

Lusaka Mayor, Mulenga Sata said the Lusaka City Council, as the major enforcers of the Local Government Act, wants to regulate street vending in the capital by finding a permanent solution to the problem and decided to engage the vendors’ representatives through dialogue.

“After wide consultations with the Governement, through the Ministry of Local Government and Housing, we as enforcers of the Local Government Act, are inviting all representatives of the Street Vendors groups to a consultative meeting at the Civic Centre at 14:30 hours tomorrow.”

“We want to see how best we cac regulate street vending in Lusaka going beyond the Jubilee Celebrations,” the Mayor said.

Zambia is this year commemorating 50 years of Independence, having attained political freedom on October 24, 1964.

    • You are only doing this because the President is incapacitated. If he comes back you will be in trouble.

  1. as the major enforcers of the Local Government Act.
    THEY ARE MAJOR ENFORCERS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL ACT .SO THAT MEETING IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

  2. i now agree with the person who coined the term that Africa is a dark continet. Sata created the proble and you claim to be enforcer of the Law. Which law? Sata’s law or LCC law? Don’t deceive the people. what a filth place, lusaka is?

  3. Ask anyone who has been to Dar es salaam lately how the Tanzania government has managed to curb street vending. It is only wiser to learn from your friends how to look after your own home if you can’t manage yourself.
