Please make sure it is redistributed fairly. Do not share it amongst yourselvs!!!! Or else you will end up in jail like… madam sorry Rev G
Jail has becom an in thing in Z now – you miss fire with public resources you are gone
please give some Diasporians part of that undeveloped land
Caution to Mr Ronald Mukoma, land is a very sensitive issue worldwide. If you are not careful pa kafulo ako, you will end up like Rev. G. N yirongo.
Is it true that Gladys is not in jail? or should we dismiss this as cheap kachepa?
she is out on bail
Dont give it to mmd cadres,who owns the structure at the junction of katondo & freedom way.mezaf a long lumumba & kafue road turn them to viable structures like one at kabwe roundabout.In compound & grave yards will be disasters for cadres.
thats our mentality…distributing land!my brothers ,we will never develop until we realise that there is no such thing as a free lunch..work hard to acquire land. full stop.
Ikali nayena iyo
Mukuma is a little bit principled than sister boss Rev G. yes she isnt in jail on k60m bail.
pliz thoz unfinished buildings in the town center shud be reposesed. Thoz structures have been there for over a decade and they are tanishing the image of our city. Reposess the land, and only allow moderm buildings to be build on that land, not thoz junkies in Kamwala. Lets be modern.
Why is it called a ‘land grab’ when the state takes back undeveloped land?
Bushe ninshi bena business yabo kula pokafye ifintu ku bantu? When government fails to develop their projects nobody goes to reposes the projects from them , but why should they get undeveloped land from the impoverished Zambians?
Governmnet keeps on giving excuses why they can not do things because of the effects of the global credit cruch, what more umuntu fye? Ma decisions ya chabechabe ayo!
Xtramature, you are very right. While it may sound like a good thing to do on the part of the Ministry, it has a lot of unanswered question such as:
1. What is making people not to complete buildings on time; others could have been retrenched thus do not have any steady flow of income;
2. In a case as above, is government willing to provide loans that have a low interest rate to enable pipo finish building
They should start with commercial land,some parts of Ndola town centre are an eyesore,they’ve never been developed by the owners for years,people urinate & defecate at the sites like there are no laws in the country.

3. Is this exercise just aimed at having people from the Ministry acquire more land in addition to what they already have?
