ZAMBIA – A minor died during a ‘eating competition on Friday last week.
This happened when a certain competition organizer (name withheld) held the competition at the named school where a life of a 16-year old girl was lost.
Reports indicate that the organizers were not permitted by the Council to hold this type of event during this era of Covid-19.
And since it was an eating competition, the council was supposed to be aware of the type of food children were eating .
People have been urged to make proper consultations especially in an event where you have such gatherings, “there is need to have people in charge of safety like the Red Cross who are available here in Chingola but because all those things were not put into consideration, it has claimed a life of a youth who could have contributed to the development of the Country.”
Further, he said stiff action will be taken against the organizers for they did not follow procedure.
