Southern Province Minister – Honorable Credo NANJUWA has confirmed that the President is in the Province on 6 days working holiday until 3rd April 2024, when he returns to Lusaka.

Hon NANJUWA explains that the President’s visit is always important to the province as it serves as a constant reminder to Provincial Administration on various pronouncements.

He said the President has however, expressed concerns over the wild bush fires being ignited in the plains along the Kafue River which have become rampant in the province.

Mr NANJUWA said the Head of State highlighted that if the fires in the plains continue, livestock will be affected and will cause farmers to start buying hay for their animals which will be expensive for them.

He (NANJUWA) said that the President has given fresh instruction to Provincial Administration to ensure that the fishermen putting up fires along the Kafue plains are stopped FORTHWITH, just to protect the plains for livestock.

He added that the Provincial Administration will work in tandem with the Traditional Leaders to stop the rampant fires in the plains.
