Controversy Erupts Over Alleged Allocation of Access Road to Private Developer in Lusaka

A dispute has arisen in Lusaka's Ibex Hill area after the Lusaka City Council, in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands, allegedly allocated a plot on an access road to a private developer. The land, situated off Twin Palm Road opposite Pick n Pay, has been awarded to a company linked to an individual with strong political ties.

Residents of Ibex Hill Memorial Park, whose plots include LUS/38412, LUS/38616, LUS/38408, and LUS/38413, are affected by the decision. The developer is now threatening to restrict their access to the road, sparking outrage among residents.

The affected residents have called for an investigation into the matter, questioning how a private developer can restrict access to a gazetted road. They have urged the Lusaka City Council to intervene and address their concerns.

Efforts to get a comment from Lusaka City Council director planning, the private developer and the mayor proved futile as their phones went answered.
