Authorities at the Zambia Institute of Animal Health (ZIAH) in Mazabuka have petitioned the Ministry of Agriculture to intervene in the alleged encroachment of land belonging to the institute by Mazabuka Municipal council.
College Principal Mabvuto Banda complained to Agriculture Minister, Ben Kapita when
he visited the institute yesterday, that the council has extended the district
cemetery into the land belonging to institute.
Dr Banda told the minister government should help the institute by providing funds
to fence off the land.
He said the level of encroachment is worrying because if nothing is done to stop the
local authority, the council cemetery the college administrative offices.
