Unknown people in Ndola have burnt two major ZESCO supply lines leaving half the city and the Levy Mwanawasa stadium without power. This is barely a few weeks after a similar incident in Kafue district.
ZESCO spokesperson Henry Kapata says the lines in Hill Crest Township were burnt around 02 hours this morning plunging most parts of the city in darkness. He said some members of the public alerted the power utility that they were people burning major lines opposite the Levy Mwanawasa stadium.
Mr. Kapata says it is Economic sabotage for anyone to vandalize ZESCO installations in such a manner while the trade fair is under way in Ndola. He says most businesses houses have been affected especially those in the hospitality industry.
Mr. Kapata says the company is losing colossal sums of money through such acts of sabotage and called for an end to the destruction. The ZESCO Spokesperson was speaking when he inspected the damaged cables in the company of Copperbelt minister Bowman Lusambo.
And Mr. Lusambo has warned of stern action against all those engaging themselves in such acts of sabotage. He says government is aware of certain political players behind these destructive acts.
Mr. Lusambo says it is sad and shameful for anyone to destroy public installations at the heart of the country’s economy in such a manner. The minister urged police to pursue the culprits and bring them to book. ZESCO will provide alternative power to all the affected are
Is It Pf Or UPND Cadres?
Non of the above but an Economic sabotour
Its UPND trying to punish Copperbelt for voting for PF
But Lusambo is really a boy, why he thinks UPND or Kambwili are behind zesco sabotage?
Terrible thing is what has happened in New Kasama.
The people behind these acts I believe are purely criminals. Attaching politics to these incidences is taking our eyes off the ball. Let’s hunt them down as such. When we catch them & we discover its political then we can treat them as political mercenaries. For now let’s treat them as criminals. Together we need to fight these people.
Neither PF nor UPND but an Economic saboteur
UPND so far you have gained enough sympathy from Kaili 1’s incaceration. The whole world now knows that with these acts of sabotage, you will lose all the sympathy you have earned.
From Arsons To Vandalism Of Zesco Infrastructure.
Wat A Country
Call it what it is “Economic Sabotage” and nothing else! Indeed @ Bold Counsel ‘What a country!” Everything that happens has to have a political explanation or reasoning behind it, the country has sunk so low! Wait soon even the most loved sport in the country, soccer, will soon be defined in partisan terms!
Upnd under HH do not know how to do politics.today upnd is a local terror group.president Edgar Lungu’s Govnt must consider upnd as a local terror group.the thinking of upnd members is weird.they think by destroying public property,then their tonga god HH will be released from jail.
UPND’S WEIRD TACTICS SINCE HH WAS ARRESTED HAVE BEEN IN VAIN!!but whoever is behind this evil things will soon regret.ZAMBIA CANNOT BE BURNT SIMPLY BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON- HH, AS HH WILL GO BUT ZAMBIA SHALL REMAIN UNTIL JESUS CHRIST COMES BACK!!
You’ll be caught and you’ll be alone in jail.
Njimbu the capital offender and your thinking is not weird. Everybody knows your political persuasion so one cannot expect to get anything other than a biased response to promote the party you support and denigrate other politica players, you are not assisting zambia to improve you my narrow minded friend are actually promoting disunity.
If a political party is a terrorist group bring all the PROOF in the open, not just spouting vitriol and pointing a finger at
others. Remember when u point 1 finger at somebody 3 are pointing at you. Post reasonably not ranting for the sake of denigrating others to promote your own colored opinions.
Introduce drones to monitor your infrastructure.
