THE NDOLA City Council (NCC) would like to send a strong warning
that it will not tolerate residents to rear animals in
residential areas.
The Local Authority Public Relations Manager, Tilyenji Mwanza says through its department of public health
carried out an operation and confiscated 47 goats from
Ndeke and Jacaranda areas.
Ms Mwanza says the goats were stray and unattended to; the Local Authority
who are guided by Statutory Instrument 12 of 2018
pertaining to public health have henceforth applied for a
court order to either auction the goats or dispose them off.
Meanwhile, the Department of Public Health led by Chief Health
Inspector Hurbert Mwanza has vowed that they will not
relent in operations to patrol the city and rid of stray
animals.
Mr. Mwanza has also advised residents not to rear Chickens
in residential areas a vice which is becoming common in the
city stating that the chicken runs are a public nuisance as
they most times have unpleasant smells which affect
neighbors.
The Public Health department also notes that the rearing of
animals in residential areas raise chances of spread of
various diseases.
The Council has since warned that those found
wanting will also be charged in addition to having their
animals confiscated.
