Zombe Village Settlers Vow To Ignore Fresh Ultimatum

Settlers of Zombe Village in Lusaka West say they will not vacate the land despite government issuing them with an official written ultimatum.The settlers who were initially issued with the a verbal 15-day ultimatum which ended on Friday last week, have now been written to by the Ministry of Lands, telling them to vacate the land by November 15, 2016 failure to which they will be forced out.In September this year, Government through State Police demolished over 20 houses for the settlers on the land belonging to Star Cottage College of Lusaka West.Meanwhile, a senior citizen living in Zombe village of Star cottage college area Loyce Mumba has further appealed for help from government and other well-wishers to assist her with some tents to make up a shelter following the demolition of her house a month ago.
Like others, Ms Mumba who has settled on the land since 1955, has been spending nights in the cold and now fears the rains might find her outside as she has nowhere to go.
