A problem of safe drinking water has hit Lutembwe Farm for the disabled in Chipata.

Disabled people in Chipata have complained over lack of safe drinking water at Lutembwe farm for the disabled.
Chairperson for the Zambia Federation of the Blind, Samson Njobvu told Breeze News that people at Lutembwe Farm block are drawing water from Lunthwele stream.
