President Michael Sata has said that government will prioritise the construction of dual carriage ways to link major cities in the Link Zambia 8,000 project.
Speaking at funeral of 22 Ndola based accident victims the that plans in the Link Zambia 8000 project to construct dual carriage roads aimed at linking major roads must be considered early
Mr. Sata directed the Ministry of Transport, Works, Supply and Communications and the Ministry of Home
Affairs to put in place measures that would help mitigate such tragedies in future.
He further directed the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) and other law enforcement agencies to work closely with motorists and other road users in ensuring that traffic rules and regulations are observed in the country.
“The Road Transport and Safety Agency and the Zambia Police Service must strictly ensure that road users respect road regulations in order to reduce on accidents,” he said.
The President has also directed that over speeding and reckless drivers should be firmly charged in accordance with the law because this was one way of mitigating accidents.
He said Zambia was reeling from the tragic accident that left the nation shocked, scared and angered at the unfairness that took the lives about 55 passengers last week.
“We deeply seek to make sense out of this, to understand the reason why this happened. But well-meaning people will certainly tell us that it is all part of God’s plan.
“Clearly there are no easy answers and as difficult and painful as it is, we must accept that our brothers and sisters are gone,” he said , before adding that there are important questions that could be answered by looking at the loss of the precious lives of the accident victims.
“As a community, as Christian nation, we express our sadness, we acknowledge our loss, acknowledge the great importance of the lives of our relatives’ lives and the loss to us all that this tragedy brings,” he said.
Mr Sata called on all Zambians to mourn their departed compatriots in a dignified manner adding that the period of national mourning is time when citizens must beseech the Almighty God for strength.
Meanwhile, Zampost Post Manager General Macpherson Chanda reaffirmed that his company will continue to provide the Zambian people with reliable and quality transport services despite the recent accident.
Mr. Chanda also said his company will continue to stand beside the bereaved families of the 51 victims in their trying moments.
And in Kitwe, a similar atmosphere of a dark cloud reigned as three victims of the same Chibombo Post Bus road accident were buried at Nkana East cemetery after a joint funeral procession.
Charles Mwila 45, a businessman, Sydney Fulai 31, also a businessman and Gilbert Tembo, a grade 11 pupil at Chimwemwe secondary school in Kitwe, have all been buried at the same cemetery.
Their burial session was attended by hundreds of people from all walks of life that included civic leaders, clergymen and senior government officials among others.
And speaking at the burial service, Kitwe District Commissioner Elias Kamanga called on the Road Traffic and Safety Agency (RTSA) officers and the Zambia Police to come up with more effective means of reducing road traffic accidents other than mounting sporadic road blocks that do little to reduce accidents.
Mr. Kamanga said the number of road traffic accidents has continued to rise and so many innocent lives are being lost.
He said government cannot allow the trend to continue especially that about 80 per cent of these traffic accidents are caused by human error.
And Mr. Kamanga urged politicians not to try to garner political mileage from the accident as it was an emotional event that cuts across all political affiliations of Zambians.
He has however thanked Kitwe residents for defying political and social affiliations by turning out in a big number to mourn the deceased with government and their families.
And representatives from the families of the three victims thanked government and Zampost Limited management for all the support rendered during the funerals.
Four Kitwe Residents were among the victims that died in the Chibombo Post Bus road traffic accident which claimed 51 lives on Thursday last week.
Meanwhile in Kabwe, burial of the late Ruth Kataba, 45, a victim of last week’s road traffic accident in Chibombo district will take place tomorrow morning.
Family spokesperson, Brian Chinyama confirmed at the funeral house in Chindwin Barracks, that burial will take place at St. Mary’s cemetery in Kabwe after a church service at Chindwin New Apostolic Church in the morning.
And father to the late Ruth, Lackson Kataba, said his daughter left behind two children, a boy and a girl, adding that she was a widow whose husband died in March last year.
Meanwhile, Kabwe District Commissioner (DC) Patrick Chishala visited the funeral house to console the bereaved family members.
Mr. Chishala said government was equally affected by the loss of so many people in one accident.
ZANIS
Wonderful ! Now you are talking.Efilanda abaume ifi.Kudos bane !
You will never go wrong with dual carriage ways.
THATS WHAT WE WANT MR PRESIDENT.THUMBS UP……
Come on guys be logical, the traffic between towns is not as that in cairo, dual carriage ways are only useful on roads with alot of traffic(in/out of town) not between towns, we just need wider roads with good run of areas on the sides. This dual thing is costly mind you you are paying twice as much
what a pity… it had to take the death of 53 people, for someone to think of a dual carriage way..pathetic!
Ba says 1.3
This dual thing is costly mind you you are paying twice as much.
What is the cost of 53 Zambian lifes?
I have been hammering on the dual carriage roads from Chililabombwe to Livingstone and all the towns in between…including all provincial cities for years now but my suggestion fell on deaf political ears.
It didn’t have to take a national catastrophe of the magnitude we have witnessed to wake up to one of the valid and pertinent measures that would have helped save many lives way before this latest tragedy.
I wish leaders before Mr. Sata were pragmatic and practical as he is; the innocent souls that perished would have been around today
Why dont we like to undertake projects that will make us proud as a nation? Why are we so content with mediocrity as if we are doing someone else a favour? Look at our country? We have very little if any, infrastructure that stands out and makes us…
Today, everything is in shambles!!
If we build a bridge let it be one that will WOW us!! Same for any road or indeed any project for that matter!!
As Zambians we MUST start demanding that govt lives up to its promises or we vote them out! NO excuses… That the only way our country will move forward.
Poverty, disease, ignorance, hunger, etc transcends partisan lines
I have every belief that Mr. Sata will carry out this dual carriage project so that the deaths of our departed will not be in vain
Its sad we lost 53 lives dual carriage ways are expensive (am not costing 53 lives here). The solution is to widen the roads and make good run off areas on the sides simple. why make dual carriage when widening the roads can do us justice just as good. Lets not use an atomic bomb in killing a chicken when a knife can do the same job
Hope these promises will not begin and end on the lips of the President. People are fade up of lip service.
@ 1.3 & 1.8 . Are you serious? When was the last time you traveled the Lusaka to Solwezi route? Do you have an idea of the heavy duty traffic on this route? Do you have an idea of the rate at which vehicles are been imported in Zambia? Moreover, whether traffic is not as heavy as that in Cairo dual carriage ways will even lessen it (traffic) further. An atomic bomb is a sure way of killing a chicken and all other chickens within the vicinity…get my drift?
As an engineer who has worked on a high project in Zambia before, I have just a little observation. Sad that it has taken such a tragedy to announce dual carriage ways connecting cities. I wonder if the solemnty of the situation clouded the financial implications of this whole exercise? If initial design plans did not carter for dual carriage ways, this means back to the drawing board. Fresh Surveys both centre line and cross sectional. Balancing your cuts and fills and of course the widening may mean fresh purchasing of private land or property that is within the highway corridor. If the president can just announce this without consulting, then there must be money in the country. Why doesnt he take the same attitude at improving the health facilities as there are many more people dying
This is nothing but another 90 days don’t ukubeba lies
Mo Taim dont be misled. Dual Carriageway or not accidents will happen. In fact drivers might become even more careless with dual carriageways they could cause more stupid accidents. Between Jo-burg and Pretoria is Africa’s busiest dual carriage way or highway. Some of the pile-up accidents that happen there will shock you to death
About time
long over due
Yes its about time, but when are they starting the 1st Km of those 8,000?
They can just start with gravel road, besides the great north road, and keep all slow vehicles of tar.
That’s good. What other measures are police, and road traffic commish putting in place (like enforcement and safety education)?
we are considering putting speed limiters on PSV and truckers, we are also considering putting speed humps in areas prone to accidents or where people are fond of overtaking even tho they cant see the road up ahead clearly
you are thinking about it now?,,, after blood scarificing of 53 people… you evil people
If you watch air-crash investigation on national geographic channel you will know that after a tragic accident thats when improvements to safety are made. have you ever heard of a saying “if its not broken do not fix it” certain things you will never know till they happen. Road accidents are so dynamic we cant predict or carry out a risk assessment each one is unique. Disasters dont just happen they are triggered by a chain of events. In this case it was a speeding bus, speeding land cruiser, a track & narow road with little run off areas on the sides. these came together in a way to make that horrific accident. I just wonder why no one decided to go in the maize field but hit head on. There is never one cause to an accident
Ndobo, tell us more about the sacrifyicing of the victims, step by step of how you did it the free masons way.
The leader of Zambia’s main opposition (MMD)) party is calling for a thorough investigation into the health of President Michael Sata to determine whether is he is fully fit to govern.How long do we have to wait! better coming in horizontal and draped in Zambian flag, Oh what a day, Oh what a relief that would be….
why not?,, we want know why the sudden insane love of diapers!,,,thorough investigation please
I thought you guys with HIV/AIDS problems would the ones to die before even the anyone else. Your ART is working for you eeh. Your shiki needs matebela with four ifikwesa. Mwanya tamwakaipule, why not fight someone in the ballot box? You are just cursing yourselves.
ulichipuba sana even sata die today Nevers will and HH will not win the elections.chalimukalipa fye ba nkusa
Just a suggestion if dual carriage ways prove costly lets consider widening the existing roads they are just too narrow.
“We deeply seek to make sense out of this, to understand the reason why this happened. But well-meaning people will certainly tell us that it is all part of God’s plan.
“Clearly there are no easy answers and as difficult and painful as it is, we must accept that our brothers and sisters are gone,” he said
That is true leadership, right there, no fake promises but just telling us as it is. This is the most presidential statement I have ever heard coming from our President. I must say that Mr Sata is actually a good speaker in times of crises, he just really needs to speak more to people directly than through his paranoid voice mail Mmembe and Chellah
`good speaker in times of cries` thats a good one, but remember he is also a fake promiser
Ndobo, did he promise you a job that is why you are so angry?
Ndobo, ndobo, what is it that he promised you that you are so bitter about? Why remind someone that “remember he is also a fake promiser”. When he recalled you from abroad, did he say you will be his Vice President? We don’t know tell us what he promised you then we will understand.
@ donchi kubeba…. i donot need to be promised a job, am a naturalist who believes in creating to survive. i donot need to lick someone´s ass to get a job,, am my own soul, i look inward to survuve not outward!
@DIVA,,, am not a cadre or a blind follower. Sata promised alot, to happen in 90days, tell what is happening to masses in poverty in zambia, the ones he promised but didnot deliver?
Its realy sad that we as a nation spend so much on irelevant things we need safer roads
mr president, good intervetion we need dual carriage way lsk to chingola.
We also need change of mindsets, imagine pipo like shaka oz, jayjay,ftj,tongabull, ndobo etc… Chaps who never dreamed of owning a corolla in their life time coz of their humble backgrounds uko balechema fye ingombe, now own corollas, what do you expect? reckless driving?
And when that clown talks you believe?you must be an half brain
tony i can dubble your salary…..am not a begger like you,i can t even drive a corolla if you gave it to me.not even my wife can drive it.i ve never benefited anything from zambia.not even from these politicians who only think of them selves.all politicians are the same.from kk up to now,ve never voted.so you and me ve nothing in common.the only thing i have are my beloved ones in a country called zambia.
yes dual carriage!…yes,very idea, just get the money from nchito and mmembe,,, and problem solved!
@Tony Blair, I agree with you, these cow herders nabaaca sana. They even have the audacity of insulting a Head of State with impunity ba kolwe aba ukutumpa. Ordinarily, they are supposed to be cow herding and in the process ‘having carnal knowledge” of both male and female ng’ombes. Atase ifiko. Their women are worse, they don’t keep themselves or their homes clean. Even their dress colours are pathetic, you wonder whether they are legally blind. They love green best because it looks like grass that their cows eat. Aaaaaah bad blood, cannot ever allow my child to marry one of them.
@Tony Blair#7,@ Kapaso#7.4,
You jerk ass p.u.s.s.y. p.u.n.k.s. do not tell anyone a single story about Tongas because you are creating stereotypes about the subjects of your lies. Stereotypes are incomplete in that they create a strong single story and nelect to question the taken taken for granted issues. The truth about people or a place is informed through not one story but a balanced approach. And you both lack that balanced approach unfortunately it is a general pattern among biased non-Tongas, uneducated Northerners and sick minds.
When you tell your stereotypes over and over again they socially construct a people as that which you construct. Note that they is no/will never be a grain of truth in stereotypes.
The only dual carriageway that PF has most fervently built is : on the right a highway leading to increased PF MP’s and on the left a highway leading to jail and persecution for opposition MP’s.
Gents tell me why do accidents happen between kitwe and ndola?? thats a dual carriage way. The solution are wider roads and good run off areas, easy and cheap solution
The solution is for some of you motorist to obtain driving licences genuinely. Most of you get them through the back door, especially UPND and MMD cadres, kabili you have too much money.
From the economic and practical point of view, dual carriage ways are only necessary in/out of town due to overwhelming traffic, when you look at the traffic between towns(mumpanga) there is hardly any traffic to necessitate a dual carriage way. The key thing is widening the roads and have good run off areas on the sides of the roads. Dual carriage ways will cost us alot as compared to my suggestion above which is as safe as dual carriage ways ..
What is the cost of 53 Zambian lifes?
Its not about the cost of lives its about the cost of the solution to such a tragedy. why use an atomic bomb in killing a chicken when a knife can do the same job & effectively??
Say you live in America where you enjoy Dual carriage way now you don’t want the people in Zambia to enjoy dual carriage way, it’s nerve wrecking to imagine people
driving and sharing one road over a long distance. don’t forget the benefit of employment, whats the use of trying to save money, only for the politicians to steal it
AWE MWANDI, ALA CHABULANDA SANA. HH U NEED TO FIND A WINNING FORMULAR/STRATEGY COZ VERY SOON ALL THE TONGAS LL DIE OF FRUSTRATION,HYPERTENSION,BP,STRESS, DEPRESSION,BITTERNESS…READING WHAT MOST TONGAS BLOG MAKES ONE WONDER IF THESE HUMAN BEINGS EVER CATCH SLEEP WITH THE THOUGHT OF MCS IN STATE HOUSE AND NOT HAHA.
WORSE STILL, HAHA THINKS A FEW BRATS WHO BLOG ON LT AND KIDS MUPPET SHOW (ZWD) LL WIN HIM ELECTIONS. THESE MUPPETS WITH A HIGH APPERTITE FOR TWISTS AND TURNS ARE GOOD FOR NOTHING
Wanya chikkalah,we are same bloggers who were for sata against rupiah,we have just realised unlike you that the babboon we favoured hasn’t lived up to the billing.he is a big flop
Chawama chafwa stanyokohhh
@ tony blair.. donot worry, tonga have stamina to withstand all that… but that who you guy daily dress in diapers and you wheelbarrow him to india from time to time, will go first and that will be tha end of PF,,, for your own information he only has a year to live according to medical records from india
Ba kolwe imwe you started saying that nonsense about the president in 2011 during your mabisi campagns that MCS had died/was dying. It is God who has an agenda for Mr Sata and not you free-masons. We will all die. Death is unexpected and does not make an appointment with any learned Tonga because education does not matter to it. Camikalipa ba koswe, the only thing you have time for is insulting the President. Why have you not started to campaign in my homeland, kucalo cabusaka (Luapula), Muchinga, Northern and Copperbelt? You are so foolish that all you know is hate, dirt. No amount of hate will win you elections. No wonder you sleep with cows ubupuba.
Insult in Tonga, I want learnt the language. so you people know that bemba is the sweetest and most romantic language tefyo. You should start insulting using Tonga bane. I remember when I was young most of the Tongas on the copperbelt were claiming to be bembas. Kabili they wanted to be associated with a superior tribe. Mwana ifinena fwa ng’ombe ba kabwa imwe.
@Diva and electorate,.. where were you when your sata was insulting and laughing at the sick?,,, he laughed aloud at mwanawasa, mazoka, george kunda… even chiluba his friend,, the list is endless…. all we are doing here is that we are only reminding him (sata) in a loud tone that he is sick and wearing diapers, no malice
@ Ndobo, yes I was there when he was telling them those things in the open and for sure some of them were suffering from the same diseases MCS referred to. What is your problem, why dont you tell him straight in his face then? Answer, because you are such a coward to do so. MCS has never been a coward. He called a spade a spade. As for you, are you MCS’s physician to talk about diaper nonsense. Wanya, kolwe iwe uzayondapo chabe. As for your being successful, that is false, you are the type who were benefiting from previous RB regime. Your tone of hatred speaks volumes mwana. Declare your assets which of course shoud be a house kwa…… and some cows ku……..
@elecorate! you are in nigeria because of your worship of pf,,cadre! thats your job otherwise you wil lose your job,,, you see no wrong in PF, you poor soul, i feel for you….you are not inpendent, enslaved by desperation and poverty, you have kiss people´s ass to make things move in your life… your sata was using the media to laugh at his ´friends`and am doing the same
I support the suggestion by the President to build dual carriage ways between towns, cities.
It will not be cheap to build but it is the most practical thing to do.
Those who are suggesting that it is going to be costly and unnecessary must understand that this is an important investment that will create jobs, boost our economy and most importantly save a lot of lives.
However, we should not wait for tragedies before we act on some of these issues. A growing economy like ours naturally needs such infrastructure to maintain the growth.
Well done Mr. President and we hope your government will deliver on this all important pronouncement.
Politics aside,i think building dual carriageways is the way to go.Too many precious lives lost uneccesarily.
link 8,000, has it got a plan coz u can’t jst wake up and say HOLD ON,now u have to start here, stop that side, dont command let the committee carry on with their plan.
Check Times of Zambia (12.2.13), the proposal already evaluated, contract to be awarded.
High speed trains…
Dual carriage…
This country has money…. its amazing how a bond of US$700m can cause people to dream
@ engineer … good point
Soon we shall here of a project about a nuclear power station & a trip to the moon
I agree with you fellow engineer. First of all accidents will always be there but we can put in measurers to minimise them coz we can not stop them. To me dual carriage ways or widening the roads with enough run off is one step we can take especially on busy roads like solwezi-chililabombw-chingola-kitwe,ndola-lusaka, Great east, North and South roads. Since we have money to spend on a very ambitious dream by Clive Chirwa, let us first utilise this money to perfect our roads which later shall compete favourably when Clive’s dream becomes real. The money being poured on ZRL for now can go to the roads whose pay back period i believe is shorter than the ZRL dream. The investment needed for ZRL is too huge, project will take long and benefits may be low. So go the road way first!
Says (1.3 , 8.1) fu when were you last ku Zambia? I grew up near Ndola-Kitwe and as a boy hardly a month passed without an accident just near Wusakile Police Station and we went to watch every time. It is not the case now fu.
Dont you think that roundabout has something to do with it ??
uko! reaction thinking is no plan at all. everything is an afterthought! when will we ever learn to be proactive! and stop these adhoc measures that we seem to always have to evey problem we have ever faced as a nation.
Did he say how long it will take to finish the dual carriage roads or this is him wisening up now?
dont tell me he ended up saying 90 days again!
I think the accident in Canada involving Zambia, took some of our friends who were commenting here. I haven’t seen any comment from Canada last 2 days.
Somebody please on this case, someone may help.
Check ZWD
I actually thought so as well, am suspecting one fellow called, ummmmmmmmmmmm, whats the name again? the guy who was very vocal over the kachingwe issue. hope not, mhsrip.
It takes an accident of this magnitude for him to take notice..these roads have been taking lives everyday….look at the stats 2012 I lost a friend last year he is among the lives taken by these trunk roads. When Chipimo says this a reactive government people don’t really understand what it means – this it!
Equip the police with the right tools for the job…then point fingers at them; he was happy to give footballers $2 million for 2 weeks leisure; why not direct those funds to procuring Patrol Cars with speed cameras for ZP.
This is another 90 days promise. Its shame that it takes 53 lives for the so called president to act. Hope this promise will.be kept.
Imwe bantu, why are you talking about the thief that was there before MCS?
Huyu Sata ni bure kabisa.Ajali zinafanyika sababu yeye anaona maadui wake wa kisiasa ndio hatari kubwa kwake na hivyo anaweka polisi wote kwa kuwasaka maadui na wapinzani wake wa siasa.Ameondoa polisi kwa trafiki na kuweka polisi wengi kwa mambo yake ya siasa duni.All these accidents won’t be happening if Sata was doing his job well.
situ taki kusema kiswahili pa mulango wetu. iyi si lugah yetu. sema bemba,tonga tumbuka na vingine. una sikiya?
Wenawe nakabalika achatu! freedom of speech walabashani!
mwenziyo anakumbuka baba yake tunduma. Ausio kaka yangu mzambia?
Can we have a proper national development plan as opposed to adhoc plans announced even at funerals? The stupidity of this president is now striking the lunatic level> Like the Pontiff, he should just quit.
Ask HH to resign first then I will also ask MCS to do so because I put him in State House. You should always talk to me about such matters. Otherwise I will send you back to your former job of cow-herding.
For Sata since he cannot write for himself,
After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, poor health, tribal bigotry and advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the presidency.
I am well aware that this country, due to its essential diversity and size, must be carried out not only with words and deeds, but no less with practical deeds.
However, in today’s world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of my poor failing mental and physical condition, in order to steer the “bwato” and Zambia, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last year, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the office of…
the office of the president entrusted to me by the electorate.
For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the office of the president of Zambia.
I find very hard to understand the thinking of politicians. People have have been talking about the state of roads in the country generally and what we get is rhetoric. Currently the state of Solwezi/Chingola road is a nightmare. lives are being lost on a daily basis but there is nothing coming from this government to address the issue. Until we lose so many lives at once thats when we will here that a dual couarage way has been planned for this road
Give also heavy ticket penalties to all traffic violators especially speeders, besides enforce DUI laws heavily. Apparently we have so many people driving drunk in Zambia and police do nothing to control this situation because they are also culprits of drinking and driving.
Dual carrier is the best option. I was in an accident last yearcaused by a truck tjay packed in the middle of the road on a steep corner on munali hills. My bis driver was drinking and driving I saw everything that happened My bus overturned 3 times noboddy died. I was heading to the airport didn’t sustain any injuries I told the police what happened though I didn’t havr time to sty in the country to testify agains the driver. Whay I’m saying the roads in zambia are scary. I’m even scared of going home just because of that horror. My parents came flyinv from Monze so they could meet me the airport but I had already checked in for my fligjt to south Africa and connect within 3 hours for my final destination.
Always primises!! U managed to go to state house because of the same promises which u will never fulfil.
Twatotela
Tackle the corruption at RTSA too. Zambians are still able to buy driving licenses from RTSA, so we have so many unqualified drivers on the road raising our exposure to accidents even further.
@23 ” I am fully aware of the gravity my decision weighs on the rest of the family forest and wider jungle (tribe) “. “But my age and mental capacities cannot fully support the pressures that the office of the presidency demands “. Wynter responds: ” the Conclave of the PF will have a new leader in ME before easter …”
I hope this is not just confusion. we need roads in rurals areas too. Think of the chisamba -chipembi road, its a death trap
Very good move Mr president.The presdent for the people who feel waht others pipo feel.
During the NYIMBA accident before he became President, do all you bloggers remember What Sata said? What goes aROUND always comes around.
Sata politicised every death that attracted the nation during his time in opposition. We all know what he went about preaching during sickness and death of late president Mwanawasa. Today its drawn closer to Sata, in a surprise he has emerged from where ever he had gone (hiding) to attend funerals of Zambians lost in the post bus accident. Whta will it take for Mr Sata to hold a press conference and inform Zambians about the state of the nation?, another spate of death? whose will it be?
It is unfortunate that measures are taken after something bad happens. The sad thing is that most trafic accidents in Zambia occur because of driver error, stiffer panshiments will not do, the fact is that RTSA is not strick on training good drivers, it all comes down to that,
Very true. Some of the drivers on the road today have never even taken a driving test
What’s the back ground of the drivers involved in that accident? Rumours are rife that the Post Bus driver was not all that qualified to handle a bus of that magnitude. He was a cab driver (handling a spacio) then joined the Post Office as a guard, getting elevated to driver on spurious grounds. Word is that he had been accused of having hit and run a biker just four days before the accident, and relatives of the biker had gone to the Post Office that fateful day looking for the man only to be told he had left for Lusaka that morning.
Zambians when are you going to stick to the TOPIC of discussion?Topic here is Dual carriage way.Secondly burial of our late brothers and sisters on the Chibombo accident.
Could you kindly put good comments for now.

I must be very out dated about Zambia since i have never been there in a long time..
IS the country suddenly so rich to have Zambians traveling on:
1. High speed trains
2. Dual carriage ways
3. New state airline to be established
What am i missing… ??? what i know about Zambia is it has a population of 13million people of which 90% are poor living on US$1 per day. kids still leaning in mad schools.
What am i missing
You are missing 90% of going-ons bro.
Good afternoon
As bad as the situation is due to loss of lives, it is good that people are now questioning the cause and what can be done to avoid further tragedies like this.
The best option is to draw a line under the pain and to start all over again. All nations have their own lessons to learn in terms of how to manage internal calamities that hit them.
Sata and his PF govt promised to do things different from all past govts including responding to disasters such as the bus accidents, famine, floods and bad harvest. What we see is oldage language of urging RATSA, police to patrol roads (costly) way of averting and reducing disasters. There are no new ideas, new thinking of innovative means of managing the country. Lets not even blame Sata his age is unable to fit in new ways of national mangement compencies. Blame lies with us Zambians.
u a just a fool
Neun Chale ist zurueck gekommen! Wir Danken unsere Sambianische Gott!
The govt of feelings and impulses, hence no planning in advance. It is a reactive govt. It is difficult to plan with such govt. They will distribute top dressing fertilizer when you are planting instead of starting with basal fertilizer. Ask us and we shall educate you on agriculture. We learnt agriculture from our paraents and came to the University to get certificates or papers.
Oh Yeah oh yeah go Zambia go Zambia oh yeah oh yeah………,
This is what i like to hear or read, though it has taken the depature of our beloved country men and women, we know now that they didnt just die in vain as crude as it may sound, Otherwise, lets give support to this gesture and hope that all go well, i can foresee Zambia in 50years from now having a well advanced make over, at the rate we are moving, proposals that are coming up, we can not go wrong, iam very positive that one or three of these will be carried out one way or the other, be it by the current Government or the next and the next.
Guys, has anyone of you seen a comedy Iron sky? check it out, laughed loud last night amazed at the mention of Zambia, seriously didnt expect it, was a silly one i think mocking the US.
Zambians you must be reading print media and not just blogging or gossiping around. The issue of dual carriage ways has been in the papers since last year. Kabwe-Kapiri is already planned. The President has simply extended the project to other prone areas.
Zambia has money, and anyone opposing development please provide alternatives.., its better to have a dream than have none.
We need roads and railways to transport cargo around the country on time and efficiently..
The USA expanded and developed its states beginning with roads and railways..
Iwe chikkala we know,RB left a lot of plans on paper now everything is being defeacated upon by these half brains who are suppose to implement those projects
Ladies and gentlemen,lets be realistic,we all know which parts of our roads get congested more.take Lusaka-Ndola and kitwe-Chingola for example,the only to the congestion on these roads is to make a dual carriage way period.The issue is not even debatable,with or without tragic accidents like the chibombo one,we need a DCW.
If you characters can access the Sixth National Development Plan you will find that dual carriage ways are in the plans. Our problem is that we are not proactive. The respection town councils have allowed people to build structures within a meter from a highway. We seem to be content with mediocrity. Let us build dual carriage ways before more lives are lost. We can do this in phases. Let heavy cargo go on to the railway system. The issue of money can be settled am sure. Some are not paying tax…eeh. Pa Zed.
The person who inverted a plan started with a dream to say one day i may be able to invate something which can fly, now zambia: we are dreaming of underground train, dual courage ways, new national airports ,modern football pitches to mention but a few, go zambia we can make it a reality just like those who managed to make a drean of an aeroplane a reality, that call for imput from every zambian including the oposers, go one zambia
“He further directed the Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA) and other law enforcement agencies to work closely with motorists and other road users in ensuring that traffic rules and regulations are observed in the country.”
Great – how about starting with ZP who drive some of the most un-roadworthy vehicles I’ve ever seen? Two headlights, two break lights, and working turn indicators should not be an option…. especially for the police who must lead to by example.

@ DIVA, KAPASO, TONY BLAIR. I respect your comments about Tongas sleeping with cows and all that stuff. But I don’t agree with them. I think you a are a bunch of prejudicial folks whose philosophy of a people and culture you don’t understand. Your theory and beliefs are as bizarre, weird, primitive and dangerous. Psychologists, scholars and students have spent years to understand your type who are ranked along with the well known and common racism, egoism, sexism,hate for jews and so own. In Rwanda and Burundi, this whole thing started with a downing of an aircraft of Burundi President until one Tribe accused the other with this and that and some went on the air waves calling their tribe extinguish “these cockroaches”. The next thing is a million people perished within 90 days…

I went home in 2011, i must say after just three years out of my mother land i was extremely shocked at that volume of traffic between Lusaka and ndola, the journey that previously took 6 hours took 10 hour, there is so much traffic its unbelievable. i said to myself “its only been 3 years” When you get to read about the many accidents that have happened on our roads you get a twinge of fear, you ask yourself is the government doing anything about it, those who are opposing the dual carriage way should be ashamed of yourselves. what really disappoints the most is the against this idea do not have a clue what the situation is on our roads right now..we must move from that mentality of ” we cant manage” “cant afford” how can we develop like that?
I think many people are resigned to failure. The self defeatist attitude will never take us anywhere. We must be saying “YES WE CAN”! Howelse shall we develop? Remember that “necessity is the mother of invention”. Dual carriage ways, fast trains, stadia, universities, modern airports and many such facilities are absolutely necessary! Let’s dream on as Zambians and try to realise some of these things. Hey, why not?
If it means investment into reponse includes buying helicopters for the police which this country once had lets do it. No AMBULANCES or Emergency rescue vehicles on the scene. People handling bodies like animals. No body bags. No equipment to cut the mangled bus. What a shame. I shudder to think what would happen if we had an earthquake.
Apart from dual carriage ways make it prohibitive for large haulage on our roads. The trucks which belong to the rich guys areb damaging our roads and causing so much misery. Let hem pay through the nose so that people opt to use rail carriage which should have concessionary rates. Why should copper ore and coal be transported by road? A single train will move what 30 trucks will.
Condolences to the berieved families.
