Chingola Mayor breathes fire
SANFROSSA MANYINDA Writes@SunZambianWE will not tolerate anarchy through caderism over land allocation in the district, Chingola Mayor Titus Tembo has warned.Mr Tembo was speaking following the attack on some surveyors who were sent to allocate land to the people that bought the plots from the council using the right procedure in Gymkhana area.The surveyors were attacked by a group of people whose structures were demolished in the area a few months ago.Police have since been sent to the area to investigate the matter.Mr Tembo said it was unfortunate that there were some people that were pushing the illegal land agents to become violent.“I will not fight for votes at the expense of the law. There is no problem if people do not want to vote for me because I am following the law,” he said.Mr Tembo said it was not right for people to always play to the gallery stating that those that were aggrieved and had issues to do with land should take their complaints to the council unlike taking the law in their own hands.He said people should avoid seeking sympathy from authorities when they were aware from the start that what they had been doing all along was illegal.“People should not take this matter lightly because people are being convicted over the illegal allocation of land.“We shall however know those that are promoting anarchy by encouraging illegal settlers to behave in such a manner be-cause they will start vomiting out when we arrest them,” Mr Tembo said.
