Shiwang`andu District Commissioner Evelyn Kangwa has
urged loan beneficiaries under the Youth Street Vendor
Empowerment Scheme to pay back their loans.
Ms. Kangwa said Government will not tolerate loan
defaulters, hence need for the street vendors who
benefited from the empowerment scheme to pay back the
loans.
She said this in an interview with the Zambia News
and Information Services (ZANIS) in Shiwang`andu today.
The District Commissioner said Government through the
Ministry of Youth and Sport released funds four months ago
to help various youth street vendors in the district to have
their businesses boosted.
Ms. Kangwa said it was saddening that only 6 beneficiaries
out of 37 have started paying back their loans.
She said that such attitude will not be tolerated in the
district and further advised the loan beneficiaries to settle
their loans before they face consequences for not paying
back.
