Kilamba Kiaxi is a district in the Angolan metropolitan area of Luanda . In Kimbundu , the African language of this part of Angola, the name means, "Land (Kiaxi) of Kilamba".

administration

It was one of nine districts ( Municípios ) that made up the metropolitan area of ​​Luanda. After 2011 a number of changes were made to the administrative structure. Kilamba Kiaxi was temporarily a municipality (Comuna) of the district (Município) Luanda, in the province of Luanda . Since November 2016 Kilamba Kiaxi has regained the status of Município.

Kilamba Kiaxi has 64.1 square kilometers and over 1,560,000 residents. In the west it borders on the municipalities of Samba and Maianga , in the east on the city of Viana and in the south on the new district of Kilamba and the Kwanza River . The district also includes the boroughs of Golfe , Palanca , Sapú and Nova Vida.

Infrastructure

In the older districts there is a lack of water and electricity supplies, which affect half the population, and crime is high. The most modern 5-star Ritz Hotel in the country is also located here. Between 2008 and 2011, the new Kilamba community was built on the former municipal area, an urban development project with 750 residential houses. It was built by the Chinese company China International Trust and Investment Corporation (CITIC) for 3.5 billion US dollars and is believed to be home to around 500,000 people. In return, the state delivers oil to China. However, most of the apartments were still vacant in 2012 as no buyers could be found. They were built for the middle class, which hardly exists in Angola. Of the 20,000 home buyers, half are behind with their installment payments in 2019.

education

In 2019 there are 384 educational institutions in the Município for the estimated 1.56 million inhabitants, including 35 public. Due to the lack of schools, 25,000 pupils in the district remained outside the school system. The Universidade Técnica de Angola , the Catholic University of Angola and the Instituto Médio de Economia do Kilamba Kiaxi are located in Kilamba Kiaxi .
