Some residents of George compound in Lusaka are living in fear after information went round that a local business man has bought the land they are occupying.
One of the residents Diana Mulilo says the man only known as SBJ claims to have bought the land on which they have built their houses.
The residents claim that the said businessman has bought the land in question to expand his business.
And when contacted, SBJ who refused to give his full names refused having bought the area in question.
However, he accepts having bought some land but away from the concerned residents.
And area Ward Development Implementation Plan Chairperson Gilbert Liswaniso told MUVI TV news that the man is only using his financial strength to disadvantage the vulnerable in the area.

Blame the land ministry if he has a valid title for the land. If it is legal then the squatters need to move on unless they can prove they have titles to the land.
Lawlessness in Zambia is started by land grabbers who squat on land not owned by them.
Sad development.
The problem I see in Zambia always is that we begin to tackle a problem when it has already got too big. Most settlements are illegal and nothing is done until someone somewhere innocently decides to obtain title. Â Let us formalise those areas that are currently illegal and put a stop to any further squatting forthwith. Â Other societies call it law; we call it victimisation – that is why systems have failed in this country.
Hey Blogers , the business man has denied having bought land but you continue speculating?
This was not even news in the first place. The business man in question has not bought the land. Do more research LT we do not wish to drawn in this.Â
He has denied having bought the land and he has also refused to give his full names.Ni chikabwala ichi, trying to intimidate poor people.
Guys, this is not news. The man has not bought the land so what is the problem. Maybe people should just shut up.
