Authorities in Choma have responded to calls for improved security in State Land ward of the district where villagers have been living in fear of increased banditry activities.
Acting Choma District Commissioner Mungoni Simulilika yesterday convened an urgent
meeting with the Sibanyati community to look into their security concerns.
The meeting was also attended by police led by District Police Chief Chibesa Musa
and other security wings.
Stateland ward Councillor Fair Hachilili told ZANIS in Choma today that he is happy
with the outcome of the meeting.
Last week, Mr Hachilili made a passionate appeal to the Zambia Police Service to
intervene as the security situation had gone out of hand in the area.
However, acting District Commissioner Mungoni Simulilika could not however be
reached for comment on the outcome of the meeting with the State-Land ward
community.
