Livingstone Night clubs defy council ban

ANDREW MUKOMA writes @SunZambian SOME Business entities that were closed down by the Livingstone City Council for none adherence to Covid-19 guidelines are few days ago, have resumed operations without meeting the set up standards. A random check by the Sun in the Tourist Capital revealed that only a few were still closed while those that were usually congested as Night Clubs were open and running. This is despite the local authority’s decision to close entities that were not adhering to the health guidelines. Six business places were closed down among them, Hungry Lion, Munali Cafe and Food Palace. Others were YK Night Club, Chima Mobile and Airtel Centre and all of the premises are situated in the Central Business District. Council Assistant Public Relations Officer, Harriet Malambo, had confirmed the closure of the six entities but could not state whether some of them had resumed operations. Ms Malambo indicated that Hungry Lion and YK Night Club were closed down due to overcrowding, thereby posing a risk to both customers and employees.
