Kuyana na lipoti la kafukufuku wa vyalo vya mu 2014 ilo likalembeka na Central Statistical Office of Zambia, nchito yikuru iyo yikacitikanga mu cigaŵa ici yikaŵa somba. Msewu wa Samfya-Mansa-Mwansabombwe-Nchelenge, uwo ukumanyikwa kuti Zambia Way, ndiwo ni nthowa yikuru ya chigaŵa ichi. Nangauli chigaŵa ichi chili na vinthu vinandi, kweni ntcha ku mizi. Mu 2004, ŵanthu 79 pa 100 ŵaliwose ŵakaŵa ŵakavu. Chigaŵa chose cha vyakurya ivyo vyaseŵeka mu chaka cha 2014 mu chigaŵa ichi chikaŵa mahekitala 57,966.31 (143,237.9 acres) icho chikaŵa 3.06 peresenti ya chigaŵa chose icho chikaseŵeka mu Zambia. Vyakumera ivi vikapangika matani 150,029, ndipo vikaŵa 3.68 peresenti ya vyakurya vyose ivyo vikapangika mu caru ici. Mbuto ya mbatata ndiyo yikaŵa yikuru comene mu cigaŵa ici, yikaŵa na matani 11,356, panji kuti 7.56 peresenti ya vyakurya vyose vya mu caru.

Mu 2004, chigaŵa ichi chikaŵa na masukulu gha pulayimale 527, na masukulu gha sekondare 20. Ŵana ŵa vyaka vyapakati pa 7 na 15 awo ŵakaleka sukulu ŵakaŵa 527.
