The State Broadcaster reported on Wednesday that the Cholera cases in Lusaka, the Zambian capital have shot to about 226 cases despite assurances by the state authorities to put under control the water borne disease.
Cholera broke out last month in one of the sprawling shanty compounds in the Zambian capital with 20 cases and the water borne disease has spread to other part of the city.
The Lusaka province Medical Officer, Kennedy Mallama said that only one death has been recorded so far in Lusaka province but that the disease had also been recorded in two other suburbs in the capital.
He however insisted that the situation was under control.
