District Commisioner Elias Kamanga has called for sanity to prevail in Kitwe as the city hosts selected COSAFA Cup matches next month.
Kitwe will host majority of the COSAFA Cup matches including Zambia’s opener-a quarterfinal clash against Mozambique at Nkana Stadium on 14 July.
In an interview, Kamanga, the chairman of the COSAFA Cup organising committee in Kitwe, implored residents to keep the city clean ahead of the regional tournament that runs from July 6-20.
Arthur Davies Stadium is the other match venue in Kitwe.
“We must cherish this opportunity and position ourselves for these matches,” he said.
“I want to appeal to our people to exercise highest levels of cleanliness. To the business community lets clean our surroundings and buildings, motorists should park in designated areas,” Kamanga added.
Lusaka and Ndola are the other host cities.
do we need 2 keep our towns clean only when we are hosting events?
Start with the so-called minibus station in town. That chaos there makes one cry.
You expect the residents to heed your call? You are dreaming. The govt should do the cleaning up since it will be its reputation as leaders that will be at stake. Paint the buildings provide the street lights street signs repair the potholes and visitors will go back saying Zambia has a govt. Given the current situation they will go back thinking the zambian govt is corrupt
Lets not clean up for Cosafa. We will however clean up always for the health and pride of zambians.
how do u jst clean up 4 cosafa..shame on ur goverment zambia.
shame on you that you only want to clean up for the visitors and after that it will be back to normal. clean up for zambian health. shame on you.
