Floods that cut off Maamba Coal Mine Township from the rest of the country have receded.
Motorists and people were now able to cross along the Kanzize Stream that burst its banks on Saturday last week owing to high levels of water that completely swallowed the bridge.
Maamba coal mine Management together with, government officers, Maamba Community, Businsess people, and Maamba Zambia Red Cross (RDC) have formed a special Disaster management team to look into the further effects of floods in the Township.
Maamba Mine Acting Mine Manager Coin Siakachoma said the mine would bring in the bullzor to work on the silt that blocked the Kanzize Bridge and to employee temporal workers to work on the drainage system.
Sinazongwe District Professional Officer Douglas Mweembe told the meeting that 108 people have been left homeless following the collapse of their houses in Maamba.
The meeting resolved to take people whose houses have collapsed to Maamba High School for a short period before Schools opens while waiting for ZRC to deliver tents to the affected people.
