LCC Evicts 67 Families For Squatting At Kamwala South Market

The Lusaka City Council- LCC has evicted sixty seven (67) families for illegally occupying shops, using them as homes at Kamwala South Market causing the trading place to be environmentally unfriendly.

The exercise was conducted by a team of Council Police in collaboration with the State Police as one of the measures to bring order and sanity to the trading area.

During the exercise, fourteen (14)shops used as homes were closed as this was promoting illegal settlements and contributing to poor sanitary conditions at the trading place.

The eviction of the families has been done in accordance with The Markets and Bus Stations Act (Cap 119) of the Laws of Zambia that prohibits illegal activities and occupancy within the trading areas.

The Local Authority is committed to implementing Government’s efforts towards eradicating illegal settlements in the city.
