Solwezi Mayor Remmy Kalepa has challenged various institutions to also implement capital projects which he says are cardinal for the development of the town.
Speaking when he inspected the progress made so far on construction of the National Pensions Scheme Authority (NAPSA) Housing Units in Kazhiba area, in the company of Solwezi Municipal Council Management, Mr. Kalepa said he was delighted with the capital investment by NAPSA.
He stated that the housing units will not only beautify the district but also provide good housing facilities to the residents in the area.
He noted that the standard housing unit project will also encourage other land owners in the area to develop their properties.
Mr. Kalepa said that the Council will embrace other institutions which have intentions of undertaking more developmental projects as the Council endeavors to improve the living standards of many in the district.
In 2015, Solwezi Municipal Council entered into a debt swap for 50 hectares of land in Kazhiba area with NAPSA which had the intention of developing the land into a mixed use development to include low and medium cost residential housing units and a commercial office block.
