Authorities at Mazabuka Municipal have swung into action and closed down two infamous guest houses in the township that were allegedly being used as brothels. Undi stated that the closure of the two guest houses that were harboring female prostitutes has been necessitated because the proprietors had contravened and abused council by-laws.
She disclosed that the two guest houses contravened the Public Health Act as well as Local Government Act on street vending and nuisances by allowing themselves to operate in unsanitary conditions as well as misuse the facilities by conducting short time services.
Undi charged that the local authority received several complaints from members of the public over the poor state of the two guest houses. She said owners of the two guest houses apart from being charged with the offence of operating in unsanitary conditions and misuse of guest houses have also been asked to avail the council with approved building plans and designs. Undi warned that the council will not sit back and watch guest house owners abuse their facilities by conducting illegal businesses.
She disclosed at the time of the closure, 10 rooms were found to be occupied with an undisclosed number of female clients at Jeppa guest house while 8 rooms were also occupied with female clients at Kasamba.
Mr Kitwe town clerk, Insakwa ya bakaonde is equally bad news for such services. There are women who book rooms there and sit outside waiting for customers. Hahahah even here in Lusaka please take stock these tuma guest houses in townships. Ubuchende bwachila.
