Teachers houses near collapse in Chongwe

Share

Nine staff houses at Mulalika Basic School in Chongwe district are on the verge of collapse and teachers occupying them are living in fear of losing their lives.

Authorities at the school are appealing to the government for funds to assist them rehabilitate the houses to prevent loss of human lives.

This came to light today when Chongwe Acting District Commissioner (DC) Stanslous Mutale visited the school.

Deputy School manager Tyson Hachilangu told the Acting DC that the houses have developed huge cracks and are likely to collapse soon.

Mr. Hachilangu said there was an urgent need to rehabilitate the houses to prevent loss of human lives.

And after inspecting the houses, Mr. Mutale directed the school authority to demolish one of the houses built by the Parents Teachers Association (PTA).

The Acting DC said the hous has developed too many cracks to be worked on and has some of its walls tilting.

Mr. Mutale also directed the school PTA to source funds from the Constituency Development ?Fund (CDF) for constructing pit latrines for the teachers and their families.

He said the pit laltrines at the teachers’ houses are also a danger to their lives because the logs covering the pits have been eaten away by termites.

  1. ba LT if the teachers are fearing loosing their lives, why stay in them? The most sensible thing is shift out into the classrooms and disturb the classes. The Authorities will then jump in quickly to find the solution. Pa Zed we good at crisis management though sometimes we worsen it.

  2. People for you to become what ever you are it’s because of a teacher, but why dont you consider them? its high time we have been hearing alot of complaints from teachers please please do something.

  3. Bizzarre incident
    Police in Livingstone have arrested a 75 year old man for allegedly having carnal knowledge with his 7- year old son.

    Goilo Simataa, a linda Township resident was arrested over the weekend after a tip off from members of the public

    • Yakumbuyo with his own son, shame on the old guy!!! This mudala must be castrated, how can an old man of 70 be a father of a 7 years old instead of being his greatgrandfather… this man needs to be stopped. Chijubeni!!!!

  4. Mr DC, the constuency development fund is not only to benefit a few individuals or we don’t use that money to build pit latrines for teachers, find money from the ministry of education and not CDF. unless you want to have a share from that money. concils are responsible for the CDF and these two institution concil and education are two different things. can you change your rotten idear.

  5. Yaba,no one to blame mwee these are natural disasters but if RITA AND KATRINA hurricane happened to Zambia then it wud be becoz of the RB and Govt…

  6. “Because of this plan, there are teachers who can now keep their jobs and educate our kids. Health care professionals can continue caring for our sick. There are 57 police officers who are still on the streets of Minneapolis tonight because this plan prevented the layoffs their department was about to make.” This is an except from Obama’s speech to Congress. Very inspiring and reassuring. But alas!! It’s the direct opposite of the Zambian situation. Our leaders are now stimulating their pockets and bellies. Shame on these scalawags.
