Hundreds In Panic

Hundreds of residents of Kireka Zone B are in panic over a looming eviction by the UPDF Engineering Brigade which is building a perimeter wall around Mandela National stadium.

The government kicked off the renovation of Mandela National Stadium with the construction of the perimeter wall as one of the requirements from CAF.

But Anne Beja, a member of the Mandela National stadium board, says that the perimeter wall will also protect the land from encroachers.

The perimeter wall has evicted almost the entire population of Kireka Zone B throwing residents into panic. Several houses have already been demolished to create space for the wall.

Godfrey Kawooya, the Vice Chairman of Kireka Zone B said there are about 550 residents who are living in fear of eviction. He says that they have often time tried to engage the stadium management on the matter in vain.
