This article is about the suburb of Lusaka, Zambia. For the city in Sierra Leone, see Makeni, Sierra Leone.
Makeni is a suburb in Lusaka, Zambia. The Makeni Ecumenical Centre is situated here, providing primary, secondary and adult education courses in a variety of vocational subjects, as well as clinics, family planning services, and an AIDS orphan village.
The origins of the name Makeni are unclear. However the Livingstone Mail [1] reported that in 1914 Major Boyd Cunningham had a farm called Makeni in Lusaka.[2]
A folk etymology has been suggested that the name derives from a Scottish name, McKenny.
Schools include Bayuni School and Makeni Centre Primary School.
It is the home of the Majestic Casino and The Great Wall Chinese Casino.
