  1. this is foolish,compasation and where are they going to find the place?chiefs of stomachs.u *****s leave the poor pipo alone .

  2. some comments have very shallow reasoning, it pains me to read insults where they are not necessary. Hope we shall change.

  3. 50 x K60,000/ bag cement = K3,000,000
    20 x K70,000/ iron sheet = K 1,400,000

    = K4,400,000 = US900 in Compensation.
    Those Mumbwa-Mumbwa will accept.

    • in fact it 20 and not 50 like you are saying
      so you should say 20* 60,000 = 1.2m
      20*70,000=1.4m
      grand total 2.6 million kwacha
      please mwebantu lets be fair surely is this what they are calling compensation.
      the fact that someone is poor it doesn’t mean that they are not humans. help them to live normal lives, like normal people should.

  5. This is not fair. How do you give 2.4 million ZMK as compensation?? its actually ridiculous. You give them 2.4m and where do they go and build?? Affected people of mumbwa don’t even accept this shit.

  6. Hello Kamalondo, a kaonde bull from Mufumbwe. Congrats. Give the villagers 10 million each like what LUMWANA and KANSANSHI in Solwezi did. I urge the villagers not to move.

  7. Since when did government get back into the business of constructing shopping centres? These baboons are bloody bolsheviks!

  8. How can “government construct a shopping in Mumbwa”? Who ever “constructed shopping…lol

  9. People of zambia you must appreciate developmental projects, the govt has a mandete to build houses for its people , housing units is part of govt investment, those who choose to buy them let them go ahead those who want to rent are also wellcome, decent houses are good for longer lives

  10. Imwe ba zulu muli ku uk tamwishibe ifili ku zambia, ala a bantu naba kwata indalama zambia na iya pamulu mukaya papa ngamwayako

  11. Good move but the compensation offered is peanut. Give them K20m plus. GRZ will be making more millions after they’re gone. Shanty compounds could be a thing of the past if GRZ could tell the people to either build stardardized houses or be compensated to move out of the compounds

  12. Ba nshilimubemba naimwe mule tufwisha insoni, You live in England and you think like someone from Mumbwa. This dependence on government is not helpful at all. Government should leave the construction of Malls and houses to the private sector, they can provide loan guarantees through the banks if they want . Guess what if they build the houses, only PF sympathizers will be given access to the houses. Government this, Government that, and people have been left like Zombies depending on dull people who doesn’t know what they are doing on a given day.
