The Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) has deployed adequate traffic enforcement officers ahead of the presidential inauguration ceremony for President-elect Edgar Lungu on Tuesday this week.
RTSA Head of Public Relations Frederick Mubanga said the agency was on high alert to conduct traffic management and enforcement operations to the public to ensure that the inauguration ceremony is free from road accidents.
Mr. Mubanga has since urged people to uphold the spirit of peace and safer road culture as they celebrate the inauguration.
ZANIS reports that Mr. Mubanga said this in a statement issued in Lusaka today.
“In anticipation of an increase in traffic, the agency has deployed adequate road traffic enforcement officers to address safety challenges across the country, ” he said.
He added that the RTSA toll free line will remain open to members of the public in relation to road safety matters.
Mr. Lungu and his vice president Inonge Wina are schedules to be sworn-in by Chief Justice Ireen Mambilima on September 13th 2016 at the National Heroes Stadium.
The ceremony will be broadcast live on both radio and television on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC).
TRAFFIC GOING WHERE? WHAT A WASTE OF OUR TIME AND RESOURCES. LIFE IS HARD. LET US NOT PLAY GAMES PLEASE. THERE IS NOTHING TO CELEBRATE.
You are a sad person if you think there is nothing for people to travel to when you know there is a national ceremony.
Let those who want to attend go there. It is their choice. You go and do your own things too, and no one will condemn you.
WHO CARES WHERE WE ARE GOING. WE ARE GOING TO DUNUZA ON 13TH SEP. SHAME TO HH AND HIS BITTER KACHEMAS
The there is time for celebration and times to reflect on. Both sides PF and UPND have different views of the the recent election results and what they want.
As a result of these differences opinions and views, I both sides
However long it takes, perhaps even 10, 20, 30, 50 years, the one who breached Article 104(3) and those who helped him will face Lady Justice.
The wheels of justice turn slowly. They do turn. A crime has no expiry date and it cannot be legislated away. This crime will not go away, it has been done. Retribution follows. FTJ one time so powerful faced retribution, same for other despots. It’s the inexorable law of life.

We also understand that HH is afraid and scared of the massive rigging they carried out in “his” three Provinces where they chased election officers and remarked ECL ballots to validate them as spoilt votes. Shame on you HH!
After the inauguration, RTSA must remember to come and sort out the rail crossings in Kitwe and put traffic signs along Wusakile road going to the 16 Feet under bridge. There are too many jerabo trucks breaking traffic rules from the Black Mountain!
THIS INSTITUTION IS ONE OF THOSE THAT JUST NEEDS TO BE CLOSED. CARDERS WILL BE ON TOP OF CARS AND U WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. A POOR VILLAGER TRANSPORTING VEGETABLES TO SOWETO IS IMPOUNDED FOR SIMPLY CARRY PEOPLE AT THE BACK OF HIS VEHICLE
ZAMBIA HAS GONE TO DOGS.
