Big Tree Society (BTS) Chairperson Martin Kalunga has distanced his association from the recently reported land encroachment at Chikola Secondary School in the Copperbelt Province.
The Big Tree Society is an association for small scale miners based in Chingola District in the Copperbelt Province.
In a statement today, Mr. Kalunga said stated that irritated individuals involved in the land encroachment at Chikola Secondary School were alleged to be Big Tree Society Members when in fact not.
And the Big Tree Society Chairperson has since cautioned the members against getting involved in any acts which tend to bring the name of their association into ridicule and disrepute, adding that anyone of their members found wanting would be disciplined severely including expulsion from the cooperative.
Mr. Kalunga also noted that cooperative took a thorough inventory of their members and discovered that none of them participated in the infamous land encroachment at the school.
” I want distance my association from the recently reported land encroachment at Chikola Secondary School in the Copperbelt Province” Kalunga said.
any town clerk or council worker who approves a plot or construction on top of water pipes, or less than 30m from the rail line or main road should be fired. here in kitwe these chaps at kitwe city council ve allocated and approved plots at both chamboli and chingola cemeteries and today the same useless chaps on the media saying kitwe has no burial space and the council is looking for an alternative place. plize can someone discipline these chaps they ve destroyed kitwe. look at the bus station they ve approved along oxford avenue can some one pliz stop this nonsense.
any town clerk or council worker who approves a plot or construction on top of water pipes, or less than 30m from the rail line or main road should be fired, prosecuted and imprisoned in Mukobeko maximum prison.
Is there any space to encroach at this school. On the North West it’s surrounded by the ZR railway line and staff houses. South is a major road between the school and Chikola township. Further to the south is the continuation of the railway line separating the school from Twatasha.Simply put there’s no land unless the football pitch has been taken over
What the story fails to do is to explain this Land encroachment
