SANITY has returned to Lusaka's Central Business District (C*D) as many vendors oblige to the order of moving into the markets.
Under the leadership of Lusaka Mayor Chitambala Mwewa, the Lusaka City Council has embarked on a city-wide operation to restore order by moving all vendors from street into designated markets.
The once congested and chaotic C*D is now clear, clean and accessible.
Pavements that were turned into trading spaces are now free for pedestrians, traffic flow has improved, and the city is regaining its dignity.
Mr Chitambala says this is not a one-off exercise but a sustained initiative to ensure Lusaka remains a clean, orderly and business-friendly city for all.
Pictures show some of the selected areas such as Lumunba, Cairo, Chachacha and Freedom Way roads in the C*D free of street vending.
