Lusaka Province minister Freedom Sikazwe has warned patriotic front (PF) cadres against engaging in selling of illegal land in Kabwata constituency.
And Kabwata constituency member of parliament Given Lubinda has appealed to government to construct Kasama road as it was a major road which would help to link to other areas.
Mr. Sikazwe said that PF is a different government which will not allow its members to be involved in illegal activities.

He said that some townships have built houses in roads making it difficult for government to rehabilitate the road network.
Mr. Sikazwe noted that such situations should be avoided because government is put in an awkward situation of buying houses from people so that they demolish in order to construct infrastructures.
He said that people should work with government in order to bring development in the country.

“Government warns PF cadres against illegal sale of Land” I doubt if the minister mean what he said because currently cadres are selling land with impunity in the name of the party, most likely with the knowledge of senior party officials. “What a mess anyway this very normal in Africa.” Even complaining over illegal settlements is mere comedy!
@Manenga I cant agree with you more wit you on illegal land squatting. No government is committed to stop this and all they do is talk.
Last week it was rumoured that a child was almost crushed by a train as they played by the rail line just 16 meters from their ‘house’ built on rail strip reserve land between Chawama and Lilayi in Lusaka. Government however will only act when a death or deaths occur.
