The Cholera situation in the country has forced the suspension of reopening of schools as SI 79  has been effected.

Health Minister Chitalu Chilufya has announced that all schools beginning from primary to tertiary level will remain closed as an enforcement of SI 79 which restricts public gatherings in  the wake of severe Cholera outbreak.

Dr. Chilufya announced today that the Ministry of General Education has been engaged to ensure all schools comply to this directive.

The first term of the academic year 2018 was supposed to commence next Monday, but this directive has extended learners’ holiday to avoid contracting disease.

The SI will only affect schools in the Cholera infested Lusaka district while those outside the Capital resumes as planned.

42 people have since died for failing to adhere to good hygienic practices while 2,000 cases have been reported.

Zambia Army, Zambia Air force and Zambia National Services strong men have been deployed in the dirty city of Lusaka to clean up following Lusaka City Council employees having gone to sleep with the mayor
