A traditional leader in Mbala has appealed to government to urgently work on the road leading to his kingdom to steer development.
Sub chief Tanzuka of the Mambwe speaking people said the road leading to his area from Chipoka passing through Nsokolo has almost become impassable due its poor state.
The chief said his area expects to produce a bumper harvest for 2013/2014 farming season but worried how the produce would be ferried from satellite depots in the area to the main FRA shed in Mbala.
He said motorists were now shunning the area because the road, which was last worked on in 1968, has become impassable and travelling on it was risky to vehicles.
And sub chief Tanzuka has appealed to the Ministry of Education to consider upgrading Tanzuka or Mambwe Primary School to secondary status to enable more pupils in his area access secondary education.
He said a lot of pupils, especially girls, have dropped out of school because of walking long distances to Mbala Secondary School or Kayambi Secondary School.
The traditional leaders added that the situation is worsened by high school fees.
The chief hoped that the problem of pupils dropping out of school prematurely would be addressed by upgrading either Tanzuka or Mambwe primary school to a fully fledged secondary school.
Sata said that if you did not vote for PF, you will not get any developments, even if you are as Zambians as Mbala people. But, it is said that ” Lesa tumba nambo mutima kayebele. Pray, HE [ GOD] is watching the situation. HIS helping hand is with us all Zambians.
