Mr. Hichilema says it is the reality of poverty and disease that threatens the hopes and aspirations of an entire generation living in shanty compounds.
In a statement to Qfm News Mr. Hichilema says the dream that Zambians had that a child could be born anywhere but get through school and one day rise to the highest echelons of our society is now dead.
Mr. Hichilema states that shanties have become a home to normal citizens who have been failed by a government that is allegedly clueless about town and urban planning.
He notes that over the past 50 years shanties have mushroomed and expanded gradually, with only minor and disjointed planning for among others provision of roads and piped water at central places.
