Mokambo Border Operations Normalise

By Tamara Muswala

Traffic has started flowing at the Mokambo Border in Mufulira following protests by some Congolese nationals which paralysed operations at both the Congolese and Zambian side.

This was after a suspected criminal JOHN KAYOMBO, a Congolese national, was gunned down by the anti robbery squad for allegedly committing various crimes including theft of motor vehicles in Zambia.

Copperbelt Permanent Secretary AUGUSTINE KASONGO, who visited the border, said he is happy that the security situation is calm and operations are running smoothly.

And officer in charge of Immigration at Mokambo Border ALLAN MUKUKA expressed concern at the lack of infrastructure at the border which he said is posing a security risk.

Meanwhile, Zambia police officer in charge at Mokambo Border YAMBA MAIMBOLWA assured the Permanent Secretary that police officers will today be on standby as the Congolese bury the deceased KAYOMBO.
