By Favourite Jenala Kalando

PROFESSIONAL Teachers Union Zambia (PROTUZ) General Secretary (GS) Kangwa Musenga has called for a total lockdown as a most effective means of combating the global outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID 19).

Mr. Musenga is worried that once a total lockdown is not enforced by the Zambian Government once schools will be opened, pupils, students, teachers and families will remain susceptible to contracting Coronavirus.
