Street vendors using beer packs as toilets – Kapata
PF government’s decision to allow vendors to trade on the streets has given rise to sanitation challenge.
The lack of toilets has resulted in some vendors using opaque beer packs to answer the call of nature.
The Lusaka City Council has since warned vendors of serious action.
Council public relations officer Henry Kapata clarifies that besides the increased garbage on the streets some vendors are creating a public nuisance by using beer packs as toilets.
He says council workers are having difficulties to clean the streets as they have to handle human waste.

Kapata should have been the mayor of lusaka. Maybe he could have put some sense in Sata’s head. Sata introduced street vending with kafupi to keep the mmd in power and he is using his own tricks to keep pf in power. why can’t vendors be allowed to sell in front of state house if he thinks vending on the streets is ok.

Zambia is ‘Animal Farm’. Kaponyas are more equal than some of you. Don’t cry foul after misvoting!! Cholera, dysentry and all diarrheoa diseases are due to povert of the mind. Kaponyas urinate and shit while you watch with awe; they have no qualms about it…
Does the President have any care about our health…He is more interested in your vote…than the tundaling and shittingin public issue. Kapata has no powers to deter those hooligans… I feel sorry for a hardworking man like him…

These are the consequences of legalising street vending,This Sata must rescind his decision on street vending,or else more havoc will follow.

Cause and effect. Decisions have consequences. Soon Lusaka will face one of the worst cases of Cholera. Hope the health facilities will be ready

you are the mad dog. The idiot you put in State House is the one who allowed vendors on the streets because ‘they voted for PF’. So iwe chikala stop you revisionism. The dogs are in power. Just the other day the Kambwili dog was wagging its tail and bearing its rotten teeth in the face of a certain Dr Qi!

That’s why Lusaka is so dirty. Where do u expect people to go if u allow them to trade on streets. And our politicians and council leaders don’t know the causes of cholera. Shame on them.

No need to say …. I want to pupu just seek an empty pack and boom ………..job done. As a peoples government lets look into the issue I mean Cholera has been our neighbor for years let us not welcome him into our house now through pupu here and pupu there. PF you did not win by chance it was a well deserved win let us not let the vendors direct our policies. I am sure the govt. has taken note and within 90 days it will be corrected.

ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT THE 100% SALARY INCREAMENT TO THE HEALTH SECTOR SHUD BE EXTENDED TO ALL CIVIL SERVANTS.
ON MATUVI, IS THIS THE TIME THE COUNCIL IS LEARNING ABOUT? I KNEW THAT 10 YRS AGO. IT HAPPENS EVEN AT SOWETO IN THOSE SALULA STANDS, RUM SHACKLE BARS AND RESTAURANTS.
THATS WHAT YOU GET FOR NO HAVING PUBLIC TOILETS IN TOWN

Its not too late to reverse this decision by the president. There no shame in admitting the decision was wrong and rescind it. For the health of the nation, the president should be well advised to recant for the dirt,chaos, vermin, disorder, unhygeinic conditions, and crime infestation that has resulted is deplorable. We are sitting on the cusp of epidemics in the towns. The people who own shops have lost business. Luo, Chikwanda, Sichinga, etc confer with your boss to see reason. We know he is hard headed, but he must listen. If he fails you will all have failed as government!

Its not only Lusaka but all other towns are now shit boxes. Sata has discrated Zambia and if left to go a complete term there shall be no zambia to talk about. A wicked man he is indeed. People who knew him well warned us that he was deadily but Zambians never believed and went ahead to have him as president only to have him ask street vendors to shit in the streets. they should also be allowed to shit at state house and parlaiment.

RB should remain MMD president for God’s sake. He is the only one who can kick out this bustard. HH should be his deputy. The constitution still allows RB to contest. Please RB, just forego those shit retirement packages so that these chaps dont block you. If you run out of money, we can donnate for you upkeep. We neet to kick this embercile out

Bemba leadership ni matuvi cabe! RB told us that ci Sata ni ci silu! This is the best the Bembas can offer Zambia! Bembas are uncivilised dirty scum who should never ever be entrusted with leadership again!
It was God’s wish that Sata became President so that Zambians can come to learn the true colours of Bembas. Honestly’ we pray that there will be something left to build after these dirty uncouth morons have left!

Just like Ba Chiluba. You 2 Sata and Chiluba (office of the president, remember), instead of populalism can you not do the right thing. Whats wrong with northerners nobusali don’t they hate it. Doing in a Bottle and 90% on – that has been left out – poor trees and grass is much too much.

Leaders that use their stomach and mouth to think aint leaders. We may end up with more losses because of such popularist decissions. I hope politicians will learn to tell people the truth. Follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Instead of spending money moving towns from here to there and creating Districts without proper budget, the little money that is there for emergency could be spent on bulding more public toilets in more conjested towns…….But atlas, come tomorrow, Sata will come up with more and more unbudgeted for exorbitant lunatic nonsense.
Anyway verything will be reversed in SEVEN MONTHS!!!!! Ask Dora…..

This is what we asked for. Top Zambian management seem to like it that way. Just keep on cleaning amafi or matuvi from the streets at least for the next five years (God forbid) of PF in power. If anything these faeces will multiply since more and more people are coming to the streets to have more money in their pockets. Nikulimba guys just keep on collecting human garbage in form of faeces for the next five years (God forbid) its a rule now to shit in the streets where you trade from. I end here!
