Hundreds of Ndola residents have been trooping to the construction site of the Ndola-Lusaka Road in the quest to get employment.

Commencement of the works has brought optimism for short time employment among residents of Ndola on the Copperbelt.

Taking advantage of the presence of Minister of Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development Charles Milupi who inspected the works, residents are hopeful that they will be able to get some jobs.
