Government has expressed concern on the continued
rising numbers of street kids in the country.
Community Development and Social Services Minister,
Honourable Doreen Mwamba however says frantic efforts are been done to bring
the situation under control.
The Minister said this when a delegation from the
Southern Africa Business Development Forum (SABDF) who are currently in the
country paid a courtesy call on her at her office.
Ms Mwamba said her Ministry is open to partnerships
which are aimed at addressing social challenges in the country and cited the
rising number of street kids as requiring urgent attention.
She said Government is working long term solutions
to completely remove all street kids from the streets.
And SABDF Executive Director, Mr Jabu Mabobo assured that his organisation
will work with the Ministry in coming up with business initiatives especially
in the agricultural sector that will improve the well-being of communities.
Mr Mabobo stressed the need for communities to shift
from being dependant on Government to being independent and able to sustain
their families
