Zambia Army Commander Lieutenant General Geoffrey Choongo Zyeele has warned that the perception of Chingola as a lawless town and a haven for criminal activities will not be tolerated. Lt Gen Zyeele said security is a collective responsibility that requires close collaboration among all stakeholders to ensure peace and stability. He said as Chairperson of the Central Joint Operations Committee, all necessary measures will be taken to keep Chingola and the rest of the country peaceful and secure. He made the remarks yesterday during a joint courtesy call on Chingola Mayor Johnson Kang’ombe and District Commissioner Howard Kamwandi. The Army Commander assured local authorities that the Zambia Army will maintain a permanent presence in Chingola to support security operations and promote sustainable development on the Copperbelt.
