City market was last week Tuesday gutted by fire which swept through the country’s largest trading market affecting over 1900 traders, goods worth millions of kwacha were lost to this inferno leaving the affected traders with no hope, after the inferno many Business men and individuals have come in board to pledge support to help rebuild the market the latest on the list being Trevor Tripher Ngandu.
What is 40, 000? ECL pledged 750, 000 to build houses for Priests. Who makes more money, you or the President?
Ba Lombe muli chipuba. Leave Edgar for a day.
Ngandu and friends made money that Soweto/City market, yes it makes sense that they “pay-back” to community. One time I walked out from that market with old K25 million for 5 smart phones in 15 minutes. Just last year, I sent 3 laptops & 1 pad , same day they got the katundu my nephew called me at I so iyi K29,500 nalachita shani uncle?
Committee to rebuild market should have should have been some business men, not PF ministers.
State of emergency…
Lombe or whatever you called Drunkard Lungu is using money looted from government while a noble hard working citizen like Mr Ngandu is paying from his own swear.
I think you must sick in your with that kind of reasoning. Just because of the sound of his name that is enough to send you into madness, you will die pofye change if you are normal being.
Remember Dictator Lungu was so poor like a church mouse not long ago such that his could not afford to pay his nomination fee, he had to borrow. Also remember he had to previously stolen from a client.
Way to go, Trevor If everyone gives, no matter the amount, the market will be rebuilt. City market is a big part of Lusaka economy but then again Zambians don’t understand this kind of thinking!
This has touched so many Zambians and i am sure if it was done by untrained party carder he would have been arrested by now but it was done by someone who is trained professional who knows all about the market and its security, Most likely from Office of the president or Zambia army, A guy from a compound can not do this and go undetected . EL, RB and kaiza zulu have managed to put cotton wool on everyone apart from me.
Ba Lombe tekanyeni yama. Dont always be on negatives. This guy is one in a milliion. How much are you pledging yourself?
Twatasha mukwai
Comment:
Who is this false news Lombe who doesn’t appreciate good deeds, commendable gestures?
Lombe can’t appreciate anything. Be a gentleman. It helps. Saying thanks is not a sin. Jesus thanked even those who just cleaned his feet.
Lombe how much are you donating mwaice? Even a 10 pin if that is all you can afford will be high appreciated.
Burning of the market is the act of satanism at its best. If it is a person who done this, there is nothing that he or she has achieved out of it apart from putting many families on death penalty. Just to avoid any loss of life from the affected people, am suggesting this to the government. If at all we have some mukula logs forfeited to the state, quickly sell them and use the money to rebuild the market.
Way to go. Business must support the rebuild.
Lusaka bloggers,i have told you several times that the nigga claiming to be ” Lombe” he is 100% not bemba but one of HH’s tribesmen because those cannot appreciate anything not done by HH or one of them!!
THANKS A LOT UNCLE-T OR MR.NGANDU!!MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR BUSINESS!!!YOUR HELP FOR THE POOR WONT GO UN NOTICED BY GOD!!THE ALMIGHTY GOD SHALL REWARD YOU FOR YOUR KINDNESS!!!
am pretty sure that many well meaning Zambians and firms will join Mr Ngandu in rebuilding city market!!
TERRORISTS CAMPED IN UPND WHO ARE BURNING ZAMBIA CANNOT BE HAPPY WITH SUCH SPLENDID NEWS!!!am equally going to pledge K50 000 or more because BLESSED IS THE HAND THAT GIVES!!
WHat does that profile picture got to do with the market? How lazy can you be LT? Send someone to take a picture with their cell phone and use that. This is disgraceful
Thank you so much Mr Ngandu and may God the Almighty reward you for the job well done and may he reward you more than what you pledged to the rebuild of city market

@Lombe can’t pledge anything he is party of the Under Five Card Clinic and Nose demons which are sponsors of cyber terrorism in Zambia.
I have seen nothing wrong in Lombe’s opinion. The way ba Lungu has twisted the story of this disastrous scene. It is a national mourning, its pity people who lost those property will be helpless. The whole country should have contributed to this poor fellows. But it’s now political, where the president without waiting for investigation labeled the opposition as the perpetrators of this crime.
So half of the country won’t contribute anything.
Thanks.
so this market was never ever insured! what a foolish country we live in! this market was built a long time ago and those people who work there pay for the use of the stalls in the market… so what is the money being used for? typical Zambian….nobody thought about the insurance because all the politicians think about is their pockets …….where is the insurance?
We must be careful with these businessmen, I hope he is not like Roy Mulundu of Rokuda who is a swindler
This man should donate that money to an orphanage or some other charity. The government is going to rebuild the market. Government has lots of money. The new state house project should be put on hold till the gutted market is rebuilt
You are useless with your k40000! Rubbish! Why do you want to be published for your donation? You dog!
What about HH and GBM how much are they pledging?
Look at this as a disaster without prejudice. Now LCC have put the management under cadres who have responsibilty, surely if cadres are collecting fees then they have a responsibilty for the safety and in a real vommercial environment they would be held responsible for the damage and als be questioned why there was no insurance, is this the reason that LCC didnt have it insured because they were expecting those “running” the market would have insured to protect their insurable interest.
When does a fire of which the cause has not been determined become terrorism. Soeech to justify the end result.
