A group of alleged political cadres is grabbing land from people in Chipata’s East Rise area.

Some people masquerading as PF, Patriotic Front Party cadres are grabbing land from people in Chipata’s East Rise area.
The cadres have also formed parallel Ward Development Committee Zones with an intention to grab more land.
Dilika Ward Councillor, Alberto Phiri and Kapata Ward Councillor, Yona Banda confirmed the development to Breeze News.
The two civic leaders however, condemned the cadres stating that only Chipata Municipal Council and councillors have the mandate to form Zones.
Dilika Ward Councillor, Alberto Phiri warned that those who are involved in the illegal act risk being arrested if they continue with their operations.
And Kapata Ward Councillor, Yona Banda says if the cadres want to be part of Ward Development Committee Zones, they must wait for elections instead of causing unnecessary confusion.
And when contacted for comment, PF Provincial Chairperson, Atany Mwamba advised the two civic leaders to give him names of the cadres so that they can be taken to police.
Mr. Mwamba warned that the ruling party in Eastern Province will not allow PF members to cause anarchy.
