Ndola city council closes 12 shops for failure to comply with public health act

Share

Ndola city council has closed and withdrawn business permits from fifteen shops situated at Broadway premises in the town center .

This follows the failure by the Zambezi Paper Mills, the owners of the building to conform to the provisions of the public health act.

Ndola city council Public Relations Manager Roy Kuseka revealed this in a statement made available to ZANIS in Ndola today and that the closure is with effect from November 1, 2013.

Mr. Kuseka said failure by Zambezi Papermills Limited to adhere to the provisions of the laws of Zambia constitutes a nuisance as stipulated in section 67 of the public health act cap 295.

He said the local authority will give consideration to re-open the building once the proprietor complies with the council’s directive.

Among the issues that caused the closure are improper management of waste, a leaking roof, dirty walls and ceiling boards and deteriorated paintwork on both external and internal walls.

Others include, defective and dirty sanitary facilities throughout the building and inadequate sanitary facilities where in one of the restaurants male and female clients used one toilet.

And a check by ZANIS at Broadway building found the fifteen (15) shops closed.

    • i hope so too. and please continue to all parts of the city as well. it’s high time we had sanity mwe! when one walks into some of these toilets, one has to stop breathing and hold the nose tight till they get out. ukwiisa peemena panse kwati walafwa!

    • true that. we can’t afford to have eyesores like broadway building when other smarter buildings are in progress. Shut them down I say!! Don’t they realise that Freshview Cinemas is also coming ku Ndola and I for one is tingling with anticipation? Watched my first big screen movie ku broadway, 1982, Fists of Fury. Good times.
