Sad news. MTSRIP
The K5b for Chiluba’s burial could have built a dual carriage way on that treacherous road.
Politicians have always given us a lip service that they are going to put up a dual carriage from Kitwe to Chililabombwe. MMD govt is to blame for these inoncent lives we are losing on this road. This road is among the busiest in Zambia because of the mining activities and leads to the DRC.
Iam sure if this road was in Eastern Province RB would have done something.
The being used on solar gysers should have been spent on this delapidated road…..please help us before we lose more lives!!!
You always blame the govt but its your careless driving.i know how these minibus dirvers do they always rush to pick up people before the other minibus picks them.have seen this in konga makeni.drivers are responsible for pipos lives and theirs too.
When Simbao was minister of transport he said feasibility study for a dual carriageway would be undertaken and for a few weeks we saw some chinese surveyors along the Kitwe- Chingola road. Maybe the dual carriage way is being designed in China.
#5 in this case it was the light truck which was trying to overtake 3 vehicles & caused the accident according to ZNBC news and not the mini bus driver…..
Uncaring GRZ + Dilapidated roads + Indisciplined drivers = Deaths
#2 walitumpa stoopidi fu
The truth hurts doesnt it? You can insult all you want. walitumpa stoopidi fu
Kitwe-Chingola road is very dangerous and curvy. Please build the dual carriage way and save life.
#9nzelu we can all insult change your language and try to use English you are online!Â
They say they are a listening govt. But how many pipo ve died on this road? Its just that its not reported. I ve been using this road for the last 4months, Police malama can be my witness. Pipo die almost every week. Belive me or not. Rabish MMD govt
We have heard the politicians assuring us that they will work on this road and convert it into a duel carriageway but nothing has been done. There is a lot of traffic especially heavy trucks on this road but government would rather work on uneconomical roads for political gain.
Comment No. #9 leave No. 2 alone. If the Govt can with supersonic speed raise FTJ’s funeral expenses for a thief for that matter. U want innocent peace loving people whom FTJ robbed to be dying on this death trap road?
No. 2 Nubian Princess u have my support.
That the reason MMD has never won any votes from the Copperbelt. We honestly know MMD chaps are just bullshitters with nothing to put accross
We need dual carriage way please ba Kabwalala MMD people are dying
