The Blantyre City Council (BCC) has disclosed that it is to effect stop orders against celebrating Zinkhoswe, birthday parties and bridal showers in residential areas of the city.
The development comes after a court lifted an injunction that stopped the city council authorities from effecting the order following a complaint from venue owners for such ceremonies.
Confirming on the court ruling on the matter, BCC spokesperson Anthony Kasunda said the council will now serve stop order notices to venue owners who have been hosting such ceremonies in residential areas.
“There was an injunction which the court has decided on. The court has confirmed that the Council has the mandate to enforce stop orders of such events in residential areas,” said Kasunda.
He further expressed hope that venue owners are to comply with the orders of having ceremonies celebrated in areas where people live.
The residents of the city feared noise pollution as people used powerful sound systems during bridal showers or engagement ceremonies.
Reacting on the matter, the council placed a stop order on April 30, 2015 after noting with great concern the increase in the number of houses being turned into venues of public ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and bridal showers.
However the owners opted to obtain an injunction that blocked the effectiveness of the order.
