He adds that continuing the cleaning exercise reduces the chances of cholera in the community and also was done in line with the Presidential monthly, keep Zambia Clean, Green and Healthy Campaign.
The clean-up exercise involved picking up all the garbage along the drainages and cleaning up the illegal dumpsites along the TAP road.
