KASUMBALESA BORDER SECURITY ‘HOSTILE’

By Chansa Mayani

Police on the Copperbelt have described the security situation at Kasumbalesa border in Chililabombwe as hostile.

Copperbelt Acting Police Commissioner SHARON ZULU says Congolese traders have started throwing stones at the parked Lorries for protesting drivers which have blocked walk paths into the DRC.

Ms. ZULU has told ZNBC news that the drivers have continued with their sit-in protest preventing Congolese traders on foot and bicycles from crossing into the DRC with their merchandise.

The Commissioner however says police are on the ground to monitor the situation and ensure that truck drivers and their goods are safe.

On Sunday Copperbelt Minister ELISHA MATAMBO appealed to the SADC truck drivers to resume operations following protests over alleged harassment in that Country.

During the same meeting Haut-Katanga Deputy Governor JEAN-CLUDE KAMFWA KIMIMBA assured Zambian Truck Drivers of their safety whenever in the DRC.
