Namwala District Council says it will soon introduce dog levy in accordance with Act Cap 247 section 12[a] [b][ [c] and [e] of the laws of Zambia.
The proposed levy would range from K2, 700 per male dog and K2, 250 per female dog for owners living in the council area, and K1500 for per male dog and K1800 per female dog for owners living in customary areas.
This came to light during a full council meeting today. The move has been necessitated by the Council’s need to increase its revenue collection.

woof? woof? grrh?
Bow wow wow hippie yo hippie yeh!
But why more money for male dogs when the female ones (bitches) cause are more promiscuous? Anyway, I think the fees are affordable, even for low income earners.
LT if you check the English dictionary, you will find that female dogs are really b.tches.
yes.. dogs must pay their taxes too
Why? Ah well they may be right. Dogs are not pets in Zambia so why not? In the mean time the council has no vaccines for the same dogs. We only chase our own tails in Zambia don`t we?
Iwe Nine Chale b.i.t.c.h ku Zambia ninsele and this is reason why you didn`t write it. Stupi.d, si.l.l.y and all those words took ages to be accepted by LT.
I Posted the same comment and it is in moderation! Goes to show how far we misunderstand the queens language.
#1.WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE
Mwanjipaya, mulatontonkanya sana.
#2 Indeed the female dog is a b.i.t.c.h also the same word informally means a spiteful woman.Well that besides a point,if the council introduce dog levy,how many people afford to pay?As far as i know in zambia a dog is not priority to spend money on and we keep them primarily for security not necessarily as pets.It’s not like here where people spend a fortune on dogs let alone sharing the same bed with a dog.
Thought I posted that in 4? Ah well!
Zambia gone to the dogs again!
This is a pathetic state of affires. What will be next, charging for the air the pipo breath ? Just think of other inovative ways to raise manee. This is a tax targeting pipo living in ma-yadee. Because in a compound how will you know who the dog belongs to ?
#11 kc, walasa!!

I am telling you dogs will have a lot of questions if this levy passes. Many of them will end up without owners and others will be trained to bite council officials. It will be kerfuffle.
Thats the problem in Zambia. Leaders don’t have have or have run out of business ideas because they can’t think or have overstayed in office. How much income are they going to get from dogs. Leave the animals alone and just focus on business ideas that will improve your revenue. As rightly put it by #13 we are going to have even chicken levy, ant levy, bird levy, goat levy, air levy, pregnant women levy, man levy, ….. the list is endless. To them this is business ideas. What a shame to be Zambian.
