I can already heard Mr Matambo accusing the opposition. People need to be educated on fire prevention especially where traders sleep in their stalls
This market fires nonsense must never be blamed on cadres or politics.The blame must be put squarely on the shoulders of market managers who have lamentably failed to effectively enforce their rules on health and safety in markets.Their habit of continuously appealing and sensitizing marketeers cannot work.Marketeers are are a homogenous population of individuals is different mental and pshycological states at any given day.The are not like soldiers who can all obey one command.The Ministry of Local Government must force councils to contract security firms to be specifically inspecting each market stall for health and safety compliance every six hours
Poeple are needlessly losing hard earned livelihoods because of sheer incompetence
*Marketeers are a heterogenous population of individuals*
Build concrete markets and dont allow residence
True. Visit a market in Chingola or Mufulira and you will see why those markets have never been affected by this fire nonsense
Market fires brought to you courtesy of PF pro-poverty misgovernance which engineered a 10yr cycle of falling economic indicators.
