The Lusaka City Council (LCC) has admitted that it does not have enough resources to conduct the demolishing of illegal structures in the capital city.
Council Public Relations Manager Chanda Makanta said lack of resources was hindering the Council’s plans to demolish illegal structures in Lusaka.
Ms Makanta explained to ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka that the local authority was aware that illegal structures contributed to making the city look untied.
She also said the exercise was ongoing which Council was expected to conduct all the time.
Meanwhile, Ms Makanta advised individuals interested in putting up structures to always consult the Council.
She said that this would help the Council not to demolish their structures as they would have proper documents and would have followed procedure.
Ms. Makanta challenged members of the public to report any form of illegal structures across the capital city.
She said members of the community should play a role as partners in the development of Lusaka.
In another development, Ms. Makanta reiterated the Council’s call for members of the public to always keep their surroundings clean.
She said it was important for members of the public to observe cleanliness to avoid contracting different diseases.

LCC – follow the law and remove/demolish all ILLEGAL structures! There is now goodwill from State House on this programme as RB has instituted a “Task Force on Land” to restore all land occupied illegally by MMD cadres and stop any more illegal settlements. So, LCC, appraoch RB for state security, machinery and money and demolish illegal structures around town centre, in Lusaka West and Ibex Hill. The whole Lusaka city looks like a shanty compound – what a city, what leadership!
