Chibolya

Chibolya is a komboni-township in Lusaka, Zambia.

It was founded in 1973 and is the largest township in Lusaka Province.

It is notorious for gang violence in the city.[1][2][3] Open air drug dealing is a common problem in this area, and residents welcomed a clean up exercise by police, however, as of late 2017, the problem continued to persist after the operation, as the dealers moved back into their territories.[4] President Edgar Lungu announced plans to redevelop Chibolya in 2019.[5]
