Hungry Lion Country Manager Busu Mpepo says the aim of all businesses should be to assist the government to stop the momentum and spread of the outbreak.
Mr. Mpepo has confirmed that only 3 out of the 30 Hungry Lions in the country were temporarily shut-down for disinfection and sanitization but should be trading soon again.
He further says none of the other outlets have been affected, but as an extra precaution, Hungry Lion has sent all employees for food handlers tests and certification, even though they have previously been certified.
Mr. Mpepo says to avoid bacteria entering its outlets in Lusaka, employees are being equipped with hand sanitizers at the staff and customer entrances as well as informing both customers and employees on cholera prevention and treatment.
This is contained in a statement issued to ZNBC News in Lusaka.
Meanwhile, Vice President Inonge Wina has commended the team of Ministers spearheading the fight against Cholera for putting up good interventions to contain the disease.
Mrs. Wina said that a lot of lives would have been lost if it was not for President Edgar Lungu’s directive to defence forces to clean the city.
The Vice President was speaking when she inspected works at a temporary land where traders from Soweto’s BH market will be relocated soon.
And Mrs. Wina has warned Lusaka residents to take the Cholera outbreak with serious hygiene practices, saying that the epidemic should not be taken lightly because it has continued to claim lives following its outbreak in October last year.
Mrs. Wina has further assured Government’s commitment to address the current outbreak of the Cholera.
3 out of 30 is 10% = TOO HIGH AND UNACCEPTABLE
3 X 200 INFECTIONS PER DAY FOR ONE MONTH = 10,000 INFECTIONS from HUNGRY LION
REVOKE THEIR LICENCE AND PAY FOR ALL CHOLERA TREATMENTS.
NEGLIGENCE BEYOND BELIEF!!!!!!
Now is not a time for perfection but correction.
US$30,000,000 CHARGE TO HUNGRY LION
CAN SOMEONE SUE THESE GUYS AND MAKE THEM PAY?
Why dont they fine this company making millions of dollars each year yet they can not maintain basic minimum standards.
Did Humpty Dumpt eat at one of the three?
Commending the president on what he should be doing, that’s his job. There’s no time for praise while the country is still in shambles! If the government paid attention in October last year, non of this ruckus would be happening…so just do what your jobs respectively.
