Patriotic Front cadres chant slogans outside the Lusaka High Court grounds as President Michael Sata attended a court case there in Lusaka

The recent demolition of over 400 houses in Kitwe by the City Council is but a small symptom of the unprecedented break down of law and order in the country since the Patriotic Front Government took over the running of the Lusaka and Copperbelt councils in the 2006 Elections. It has further degenerated to frightening proportions since PF took over government in 2011, a scenario which has resulted in insecurity, fear and political instability.

Zambians will recall that the Patriotic Front party won the majority of the Parliamentary and Local Government seats on the Copperbelt and Lusaka in the 2006 elections and Mr. Sata in referring to the late President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa, may his soul rest in peace, declared that Let Levy rule the country, I will control the councils and show him how a country is supposed to be run.

Let Levy rule the country, I will control the councils and show him how a country is supposed to be run-Sata

The breakdown of law and order we are witnessing today in Lusaka and the Copperbelt is a reflection of the lack of respect of the rule of law by the Patriotic Front in their mis-rule of the nation. It comes as no surprise that the people behind the confusion in the demolition of the Kitwe houses are PF Counselors. The PF is now attempting to distance itself from the demolition exercise by hiding behind the court order that triggered the whole exercise. However, the buck stops with them because it was the PF Counselors who illegally issued the plots on private land in the first place.

The country has been gripped by a violent culture of cadreism encouraged and tolerated by the PF Government, particularly in Lusaka and the Copperbelt. This is causing untold fear and anxiety among Zambians and tainting the image of the country internationally. PF Cadres running around with pangas have been allowed to over-run the country with impunity. They are going round the country illegally grabbing land from the rightful owners while the Police fail to act.

The MMD greatly sympathizes with the victims of the demolished houses as they were deceived by the PF Counselors but as we go forward as a country, my question to the people of Lusaka and the Copperbelt and the country at large who voted for the PF, Is this the way we want to be governed? I ask the panga-wielding PF cadres grabbing innocent peoples land in Lusaka, the street vendors who have taken over the streets of Lusaka Is this surely the way we want to live as Zambians?

The New MMD in Government will make as one of its key priorities, to bring sanity to the country by systematically ridding it of every form of Cadreism by strengthening law and order because a strong governance system underpinned by law and order are important factors associated with a countrys political and economic success. We shall never ever tolerate any form of lawlessness under our watch. Under The New MMD, Zambians should begin to look forward to a new Zambia where peace, political stability, progress, tolerance and modern politics will rule.

Dr. Nevers Sekwila Mumba President MMD

Demolition of a building at San Antonio and Mesa in Downtown is underway. It's one of five buildings River Oaks Properties is demolishing on a Downtown block for possible future development. Preservationists had tried to get the city to stop the demolitions because they said the buildings are historically important for El Paso. ( Rudy GutierrezEl Paso Times)

Border Demolition & Environmental Inc., the company hired by River Oaks Properties to demolish five Downtown buildings, was ordered to pay $1,700 by the city for violating its demolition permits, city officials said.

Demolition began Tuesday night on a building at the corner of San Antonio and Mesa, one of five buildings River Oaks is demolishing on a Downtown block for possible future development.

Border Demolition's city-issued permits require demolition work be done between 6 a.m.-10 p.m. But the city received video evidence that demolition went beyond 10 p.m., Tuesday, Javier Camacho, a spokesman for the city Development Department said Thursday.

Mathew McElroy, director of the city Development Department, said Friday that initial information that River Oaks was fined was wrong. And the money Border Demolition has to pay is not technically a fine, he said. It's money Border must pay for city costs associated with the permit violation, he said.

Border Demolition officials have indicated the company will comply with all demolition permit requirements, McElroy said.

River Oaks officials did not respond Thursday to requests for comments.

A building at 109 S. Mesa has been torn down, and demolition continued Thursday on the adjacent building at 218 E. San Antonio. Three other adjacent buildings on San Antonio remained standing Thursday.

Meanwhile, historic building preservationists have turned their attention from fighting the River Oaks' demolitions to trying to get City Council to declare a moratorium on future demolition of Downtown buildings until a preservation plan can be put together.

"Ideally we would like a moratorium on the demolition of buildings over 100 years old Downtown until the city can appoint an independent commission" of experts who could review the city's Downtown historic district boundaries and buildings outside that district and devise a preservation plan, said Max Grossman, vice chairman of the El Paso County Historical Commission, a County Commissioners Court appointed body, and an assistant professor of art history at UTEP.

WINDSOR LOCKS The demolition of the old Murphy terminal at Bradley International Airport is scheduled to begin this summer and cost $7.2 million more than originally budgeted, Connecticut Airport Authority Executive Director Kevin Dillon told the authority at Mondays meeting.

It will start in August, and its on an 18-month timeline to complete the demolition, Dillon said. You should start to see sections of the building starting to come down by the end of the year.

The project first will need a few months of site remediation to remove hazardous asbestos and lead, he said. What will add almost $7 million to the project cost is removing recently discovered cancer-causing PCBs in window and door caulking. The project cost will now be $19.6 million, funded by airport revenues.

Demolition of Bradleys Murphy terminal to begin

A Christchurch community board chairwoman has got into a spat with a demolition company over her concerns about their handling of debris from a house containing asbestos.

Last week Avondale resident Andrea Cummings wrote on her Facebook page that she was shocked to see workers wearing hazardous materials suits and masks loading demolition material into a bin next door to her home.

No-one had told her what was happening and she feared the material contained asbestos, potentially putting her family "only 3 metres away" at risk.

A WorkSafe New Zealand spokesman told The Press it visited the demolition site last week and reviewed a video posted online by Cummings.

"On the basis of the information that we've got, we're satisfied that the work is being undertaken appropriately," he said.

Cummings said the company had tried to bully her into withdrawing her concerns.

She is the chairwoman of the Burwood-Pegasus Community Board, but said her comments were made "as someone who wants to advocate for the community".

The posts were made on her personal Facebook page but were visible to the public.

Pro Tranz Ltd owner Gerard Daldry said the company had not bullied Cummings but wanted her to apologise for making public comments that were "completely not true".

"We've bent over backwards to help her. What she has done is actually quite detrimental to the whole thing."
