Zambia news: Ndola City Council warns malls executives for charging to use toilets

The public relation manager of Zambia's Ndola City Council, Tilyenji Mwanza has issued a stern warning against the mall managers who are charging members of the public to use toilets at shopping centres. She said to ZANIS on December 20 that the local authority is disheartened to learn that ZEMART Mall is charging a fee of K2 per person to use the public facility.

Tilyenji Mwanza clarified that ZEMART management's application to the council to continue charging members of the public for using toilets at the mall was rejected as it is not in accordance with the laws. She added that it is disturbing to learn that other malls have also started charging a fee to members of the public wanting to use toilets because of what they had seen at ZEMART mall, Lusaka Times noted.

She stated that the local authority has since written to all the malls managers to stop charging members of the public for using toilets with immediate effect.
