IT’S A GAME CHANGER!
Councillor Simataa Tests First Ever Mechanized Pothole Mending Machine on Kamwala Roads
Kamwala Ward Councillor Mainda Simataa says the newly acquired mechanized pothole mending machine by the Lusaka City Council Engineering Department is a game changer as it not only improves efficiency and speed of the high-way maintenance team, but also improves machine operators safety.
The civic leader who was testing out the machine on Nationalist road and Chilumbulu potholes today, says the transition from manual to semi-automated works has cut the manpower needed by 50% while increasing the speed of works by 300% – “previously it would take us 3 hours to work on this kind of pothole, but now it just takes 30 minutes or less”.
The mechanized pothole mending vehicle is the first of its kind to be deployed in the Zambian Local Council operations, and Lusaka City Council looks to set the standard and blaze the mechanization trail.

Therein lies the problem.
Ba Simaata is this the job of a Councillor?
If Councillors are going to be Road Engineers. What will be the role of people that went to school to do this job, do?
The addage “Jack of all trades, master of None” is probably why we hear alot of noise but see nothing. All talk but nothing progressive being done.
Is this the leadership we want? Lipservice? Leadership is not show boating or being all over the place. Its working through other people to get things done.
