The Lusaka City Council (LCC) has given the developers of the infrastructure around Woodlands Stadium Seven days to show cause why legal action should not be taken against them after interim inspections revealed that the developer was conducting demolition works for alterations to the existing structure without a permit from the council.
Council Public relations manager George Sichimba says the ultimatum follows revelations of interim inspections that show that there was negligence on the part of the contractors leading to the fatal accident that happened at the site on 19th July, 2019.
Meanwhile The Lusaka City Council (LCC) has prosecuted 24 street vendors in the Lusaka Fast Track Court for contravening the Statutory Instrument (SI) No. 12 of 2018.
