In a statement issued to RCV News by LCC Public Relations Manager Chola Mwamba today, Mr. Ndaba has praised institutions like Coca-Cola Beverages Zambia for their corporate social responsibility (CSR) in supporting the city’s development.
“Through their corporate social responsibility, they have worked with us to give Long Acres Market a new life,” said Mr. Ndaba.
