Marketeers at Kitwe’s Chisokone market have opposedΒ the construction of a modern Market.
Marketeers talked toΒ by Zambian Eye, said constructing a modern market at Chisokone market would be inconveniencing to them adding that putting down some already existing infrastructures would be costly.
“We appreciate the idea, but putting up a modern market here would be not easy, that would just be creating confusion, where are they going to take us,” complained one of the marketeers.
But PF Chisokone branch chairman Mulonda Mwanza, said those opposed to the construction of a modern market were enemies of development and their views should not be tolerated.
“It is very hard to understand that some people are opposed to the construction of a modern market,we need to move forward,” he said.
Chisokone market in Kitwe is one of the oldest, congested and filthy markets in Zambia.


you are in reality a just right webmaster. The web site loading velocity is
incredible. It kind of feels that you’re doing any distinctive trick.
Moreover, The contents are masterpiece. you have performed a wonderful
task in this subject!
Pathetic hey, you ask for development and there you are resisting it why? Do they think that space belongs to their fathers? That place is filthy and they want us to continue purchasing fresh goods and other commodities? Why even consult them? Just erase that eye sore; those who built the so called structures will have to bear to development to take its course. Erase that part of town and stop listening to foolish people, canβt they see that Kitwe is one of the ugliest cities in this country and that market is reason why this is so, council needs guidance in this, please rubbish their concerns and put development first.
YOU VOTED FOR PF BECAUSE THEY PROMISED TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY…….WHY DO YOU WANT TO RESIST DEVELOPMENT WHICH YOU VOTED FOR?
Please build the Market in Mongu. I have seen a clip on MuviTV in which the marketeers in Mongu are requesting for a modern market!
Also the workers of Longacres Lodge opposed the construction of a 5 star hotel and a shopping centre. Sata lied to them that RB had sold the lodge when in fact it was supposed to be done through PPP. They even protested. Now look how they are suffering,how foolish hey.
Those who oppose the idea will not live for ever, to hinder development development is for the future marketeers not you therefore there is no need to do away with development just because of afew people who want to live in the past , if you don’t want development just move out
This is one of those moments where you just do the correct thing at the expense of sentiment….. Chisokone is just too dirty.
yaba..they don’t want development..
