Mayor Chilando Chitangala Leads MTN Zambia Foundation in Citywide Clean-Up Campaign
Her Worship the Mayor of the Greater City of Lusaka, Ms. Chilando Chitangala, took to the streets this morning, leading the MTN Zambia Foundation team in a community clean-up initiative.
The campaign, aptly named “Keep Zambia Clean, Green, and Healthy,” targeted the Old Ng’ombe Market in Roma Ward 20.
The Mayor, donned in work attire, actively participated in the clean-up exercise, underscoring the importance of collective responsibility in maintaining a pristine environment.

Ms. Chitangala emphasized the significance of unity in achieving the campaign’s objectives. “The aim of this campaign can only be achieved if we work together as a nation and ensure that our environments are kept clean. This will also help us prevent any future outbreaks of cholera,” stated Mayor Chitangala during the clean-up.
Joining the Mayor in this noble cause was Roma Ward 20 Councilor, Luka Phiri, and members of the Ward Development Committee. Their presence underscored the collaborative effort between local authorities, community leaders, and corporate partners like the MTN Zambia Foundation.
The Keep Zambia Clean, Green, and Healthy Campaign aligns with broader sustainable development goals, emphasizing the interconnectedness of a clean environment with the overall well-being of the community.
