LEAD EXPOSURE PEAKS More youths invade ‘poisonous’ Kabwe lead dumpsites ….as medical expert warns of danger By KETRA KALUNGA

ORE youths in Kabwe have continued invading the closed Kabwe Zinc and Lead Mine dumpsites despite several warnings from health authorities of lead poisoning. The number of youths accessing the closed dumpsites is increasing everyday. Government recently disclosed that over 1, 000 children mostly below the age of six in the district were victims of Lead poisoning. Anglo American South Africa Limited (AASA) has been sued for the lead poisoning of over 100, 000 individuals in the district. A check at the dumpsite found youths patronising the defunct Zinc and Lead mine indiscriminately in order to earn a living despite exposing themselves to lead poisoning.

Youths, mostly from Makululu township who chose to remain anonymous said the mine which was highly contaminated with lead poisoning remains their only source of income in the industry thirst town. They said they would rather be exposed to Lead poisoning than die of hunger or resort to criminal activities because there are limited job opportunities in the district. “Sister I’m able to feed my family through the minerals I dig from these dumpsites and

later sell to buyers, so the issue of lead poisoning is a simple thing to me because I would rather die of it than dying from hunger, I have a family to feed and there are no jobs in Kabwe,” he said. Medical experts say lead is very poisonous and that exposure to even low levels of it could cause damage over time especially in children and young adults. Medical Quality Health Care Zambia (MQHZ) director-general, Dr Quince Mwabu said the greatest risk

of Lead poisoning was to brain development, where irreversible damage could occur. "The higher level of lead dust can damage the kidney and nervous system in both children and adults, very high lead levels may cause seizures, unconsciousness, and possible death," he said. Dr. Mwabu urged all those who have been exposed to lead dust and any form of lead to be tested for lead level in their body system and get treated for lead poisoning.

‘Lusaka-Ndola dual carriageway will be actualised’

Patriotic Front national chairman said in an interview that arrangements were being in the background to ensure that the project was financed. Recently, Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure Permanent Secretary, Danny Mfune, said Government had suspended the project due to financial constraints. He said Government would not proceed with the project this year. But Mr Mukupa said Government had set priorities and the project was

among the top projects and the finances would be found at any cost. “This project is being done under the Public Private Partnership and the funder is a private entity so the funds will be made available soon,” he said. “For now, I don’t think Government is going to proceed because of the same finances. The government has not yet secured the funds so we may not start now. So, at the moment it has been put on hold,” Mr Mfune said.

By SILUMESI MALUMO THE construction of the Lusaka-Ndola dual carriageway will not be abandoned as the project is of high economic value, Road Development Agency (RDA) Board chairperson Samuel Mukupa said. Mr Mukupa said

UPND MPS INTIMIDATED FROM PAGE 1

Mr Kampyongo said the PF had had the numbers to pass the bill but were sabotaged by the diversion of MPs until Parliament had voted on the bill with the vote falling short by 6 votes after 105 voted for. Meanwhile, government Chief Whip, Brian Mundubile has said UPND Members of Parliament did support bill 10 because the agenda of promoting homosexuality was excluded. Mr Mundubile said if the homosexual agenda was among the clauses in the bill, the opposition party would have vigorously supported it. The controversial Bill 10 yesterday fell off after Parliament failed to reach the threshold. Bill 10 needed about 111 votes to go through after it was presented for second recording in order to go to the next stage. The bill however only garnered 105 votes despite some UPND MPs and other opposition parliamentarians voting in favour of the proposed law. This means all progressive clauses such the mixed proportion, the delimitation exercise, the issue recognising all traditional leaders among others will no longer be actualised. Speaker of National Assembly Patrick yesterday told Parliament that the bill had fallen off because the votes did not reach the required threshold. And a PF official, Lemmy Bwalya said It was unfortunate that Zambians had been denied an opportunity to have a clean constitution because of the selfishness of the UPND. “I want to tell the UPND that, days are numbered and they will pay heavily for misrepresenting electorates who voted and expected fair representation. This is definitely not the wish of electorates but that of Hakainde Hichilema,” he said. Mr Bwalya said it was now time for the PF to focus on the 2021 elections and expose ‘shameless’ individuals who were taking advantage of electorates. He said the pposition UPND should not cry foul if the rejection of Bill 10 comes back to haunt them in the elections.

Zambia Army joins pursuit of fugitive killer officer THE Zambia Army Military Police has joined the Zambia Police in tracing Lieutenant Nigel Mwaba who is a prime suspect in the abduction and murder of Dr. Tasila Tembo. Zambia Army Commander, Lieutenant General William Sikazwe is saddened that one of his officers is a major suspect in the gruesome murder of Dr. Tembo, who was Ministry of Health deputy director technical services and deputy spokesperson. General Sikazwe said officers take oath to protect innocent citizens and the country’s sovereignty. He said it was disheartening that even after taking oath, his officer is alleged to have gone against the oath to brutally take away a life. General Sikazwe has further assured the public that the Army military police is doing everything possible to help civil police in locating the suspect who has been absent without official leave since October 26, 2020. He also assured that the Army will allow the process of justice to take its course once investigations are done. General Sikazwe has since sent a message

of condolences to the family of the late Dr Tembo. This is according to a statement by Zambia Army Spokesperson, Colonel Cynthia Chimpusa. Meanwhile, the late Dr Tembo has been put to rest. Acting Police Spokesperson Danny Mwale confirmed, saying she was buried yesterday. Mr. Mwale said this follows a post-mortem which was conducted yesterday.

…invest in rural areas By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

A M B I A ’ S Ambassador to France, Christine Kaseba-Sata, has urged French companies to invest beyond the line of rail and capture the rural market as there is still a huge potential for energy investment. Dr Kaseba-Sata said access to electricity and clean cooking methods especially in rural areas by far contributed to reducing pollution related diseases due to the traditional use of biomass. Unfortunately, she said, the use of biomass for energy in emerging economies, Zambia inclusive, had continued to increase which was not only a public health risk, but also a threat to the sustainability of the environment. She was speaking in Lusaka at the Renewable Energy in Zambia Conference under the theme “Opportunities for French and Zambian companies.” “Our women in rural areas spend time harvesting fuel wood which is unsustainable and in the process, they lose their productive time “I, however, do acknowledge that some French companies are already in the rural areas investing in off-grid solutions. This is a testimony that even in the rural areas, energy business is possible,” Dr Kaseba-Sata said. She said renewables were expected to lead Zambia’s energy consumption growth. Dr Kaseba-Sata said access to modern energy was a central pillar in reducing poverty and support economic development in many emerging economies. She testified how the diversification of the energy mix had changed the energy landscape in most countries especially in Europe. “Just last month, Portugal’s latest solar auction closed with the world record-breaking low price of US$13.12 per megawatt hour or 1.31 cents per kilowatt hour. Obviously, conditions are much different between Europe and Africa, but this is an indication that solar energy is promoting a reduction in the cost of electricity. “As such, I look forward in more solar energy power projects that would arise from our discussions today. Equally, I look forward for other renewable energy projects such as geothermal and wind power,” Dr Kaseba-Sata said.

DEATH OF BILL 10 SO Bill 10 is dead for now and its supporters left reeling by its failure to garner the two-thirds thresh-hold it needed to pass the second reading in Parliament yesterday. But we are not surprised that it failed. The signs were there that its chances of making the third reading were slim. This is because the Patriotic Front, though having a majority number of seats in the National Assembly needed to garner at least two-thirds of the Members of Parliament to carry the day. Bill 10 needed 111 votes to go through after it was presented for second reading to go to the next stage. The bill however only garnered 105 votes despite some UPND MPs and other Independent parliamentarians voting in favour of the proposed law. Speaker of National Assembly Patrick told Parliament that the bill had fallen off because the votes did not reach the required thresh-hold. What actually caused Bill 10 to fail was the extent of the country’s polarisation and the failure to develop a culture of accommodating opposing views. Polarisation has made the country fail to unite under national causes. There is a lack of trust among the country’s political leaders such that they do not see eye to eye even on the most basic issues. This is the more reason why the UPND, the largest opposition grouping in the National Assembly from the word go vowed not to have anything to do with Bill 10. Home Affairs Minister Stephen Kampyongo’s disclosure that UPND members of Parliament were intimidated from voting for the Constitutional Amendment Bill number 10 and were sequestered somewhere to make sure they missed the voting makes sad reading. According to Mr Kampyongo, the MPs were ready to join the progressive change but were spirited away to some place and “kept” there. He disclosed that some MPs were picked from Parliament motel and others from outside Parliament and taken for a `briefing’. Still, we do not think this should be the end of the road for Bill 10. The PF can still go back to the drawing board and try to win detractors to its side by convincing them that it means well. The party should not despair that it could not get Bill 10 passed, just like it failed with the referendum. As we noted in our editorial yesterday, the failure to craft a constitution that unifies across the various divides takes away any focus towards a national ethos that bestows rights and responsibilities among the citizenry in terms of national development, commitment to national values and above all the maintenance of law and order. It is sad, as we noted, that the division will not be on the nuance and importance of issues but purely on a regional divide, which if perpetuated beyond 2021 will be a source of great friction, animosity and regrettably disintegration. This is because the many political parties claiming legitimacy have only succeeded in dividing the nation into regional tribal groupings. The emergence of so many political groupings with no clear ideological positions makes it difficult to build national consensus with shared values on what holds us together as a country. Clearly, what is needed is to develop a culture of appreciating one another among the political elite and not trying to undermine the other. There has been talk that Bill 10 lacked a broad-based consensus which we pointed out was a fallacy because the PF went out of its way to ensure that everyone was brought on board. But selfish regionalism among some stakeholders prevailed over the common good. That is what the nation should work at removing among our politicians.

TILISE natural resources Zambia is endowed to avoid over-dependence on foreign aid to recover the “bleeding” economy, Alliance For Democratic Development (ADD) President, Charles Milupi advises the State. Mr Milupi said Zambia has the potential to recover the economy using the domestic resources available because the country was one of the richest in the world in terms of minerals and natural resources. He regretted that the natural resources that the country was endowed with especially the minerals were being exploited by foreigners, who did not plough back the resources. Mr Milupi urged Government to unlock the country’s potential in the mining, tourism, and agriculture among others for Zambia to stop being overly dependent on foreign aid.

…domestic approach needed to recover economy advises Milupi

Mr Milupi He said the resources that the country was endowed with were enough to put the economy back on a recovery path. Mr Milupi said all that was needed was a good plan that would ensure that maximum benefits were derived from the resources. “Looking at the resources

Hotel workers protest WORKERS at Tuskers Hotel in Kabwe yesterday staged a day long sit- in protest, to demand for their salary arrears. The workers assembled at their workplace as early as 08:00 demanding to be addressed by the District Commissioner, after a failed meeting with management. A check found over 40 workers seated outside the hotel with the situation seemingly peaceful but tense. Although the work stoppage was generally peaceful,

management had a tough time reasoning with the workers as every effort to engage them, failed. In an interview, Tuskers Hotel Workers’ Union chairperson, Henry Maoma said the workers were protesting delayed salaries. Mr Maoma said the workers have not received their salaries and service charges for four months now. “We have been working for the last four months without pay but today we have decided to go on this sit-in protest

we have, Zambia is one of richest countries in the world, this is what people don’t understand. “In terms of mines and minerals potentially Zambia is number two in the whole world from the Democratic Republic of Congo, we have copper, cobalt, manganese, platinum, gold, diamonds and emeralds. We should utilise these resources and stop depending on foreign aid,” he said. Mr Milupi said to achieve this, Zambia should put the right people in leadership who would fully understand the country’s potential, and only then would the country’s economy recover. And Mr Milupi said when opposition political parties talk about governance issues, it was not that they desperately wanted to be in power but to unearth the God-given wealth for the benefit of its citizens. because we are hungry, our children cannot go to school and our accommodation rentals not paid,” he explained. He added that the workers have nothing more to live on because they have exhausted all the little resources they had and could no longer afford decent meals and accommodation due to debt. But Kabwe District Commissioner, Samson Lupupa, who managed to convince the protesting workers to go back to work, directed management to look into the plight of the workers at the hotel.

Kalindawalo hails PF’s growth agenda By OLIVER SAMBOKO in Petauke

SENIOR Chief Kalindawalo of Petauke has thanked President Edgar Lungu and the PF Government for implementing various developmental projects in all parts of the country.

He said the government had initiated a lot of development including the construction of new hospitals and schools. The traditional leader was speaking when PF national mobilisation treasurer, Bizwell Mutale paid a courtesy call on him.

Chief Kalindawalo said the PF has the interest at heart for every Zambian regardless of their political affiliation or beliefs. He said the country should be proud for having President Lungu whom he described as a humble leader with a listening ear.

Blood transfusion services gets K3m boost By KALOBWE BWALYA THE National Health Insurance Management Authority (NHIMA) has given the Zambia National Blood Transfusion Service (ZNBTS) over K3 million for blood collection, processing, and distribution. NHIMA Board chairperson Fredson Yamba said the money was part of the claim advance payments meant to help with blood collection and distribution across the country. Mr Yamba in a speech read by NHIMA board member Ernest Mande during the presentation of the cheque in Lusaka, said NHIMA has so far collected about half a billion Kwacha and paid out claims of around K30 million. He said the reinvestment would be used to procure drugs and infrastructure development for health services that would be responsible for the universal health cover. He said NHIMA was of great importance in the realisation of health service delivery in Zambia, therefore the board was in support of the plan to prolong life and the donation would go a long way towards serving lives. Meanwhile, ZNBTS Medical director, Joseph Mulenga said the most sustainable blood services in the world were funded through insurance. Dr Mulenga said the combination of funding from government and insurance would ensure a sustainable path for the blood services. He said the focus for the funding was blood collection, processing, and distribution across the country. And NHIMA director general James Kapesa said the Health Insurance scheme was delivering on its agenda to ensure universal health coverage is attained across the country.

Losers behind splinter unions - MUZ By ROGERS KALERO LOSERS in trade union elections are the architects of splinter unions which have weakened the labour movement, the Mineworkers Union of Zambia (MUZ) has charged. MUZ General Secretary, George Mumba, said officials who had lost elections in the union had caused the

proliferation of trade unions, leaving the workers with little or no influence on various issues regarding their welfare. As a result, he said, the trade union movement in the country was weak. Mr Mumba was speaking in Kitwe yesterday at a workshop organised by MUZ with the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (fFES) at Hotel Edinburgh. Mr Mumba said miners

should reject splinter unions formed by those who lost elections because such unions had no future as they were being formed by frustrated individuals. He said the birth of new unions was posing a big challenge in consolidating a collective voice in the mining industry, weakening the voice of a worker due to different interests and priorities among

officials. "Today, the employer is having a field day due to divisions being created by the formation of more unions in the mining industry, weakening the voice of a worker," Mr Mumba said And FES resident representative, Fritz Kopsieker, said multiplicity of unions was a big challenge facing the mining industry and needed to be addressed quickly.

RESIDENTS REJECT POLICE POST By KETRA KALUNGA

POORLY constructed police post in Kabwe will have to be redone after being rejected by the community. The police post was constructed under the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) at a cost of K125, 000. Makandanya police post whose works started in 2013 by a local contractor, Jopper Mining, has been rejected twice by the community for not meeting the set standards. Kabwe Central Member of Parliament, Tutwa Ngulube, said the police post would be worked on using the labour-based approach which he said would be much cheaper than engaging a contractor. Mr Ngulube said in an in-

terview that the labour-based model was the best option and would save on costs because the project was already paid for by the Government through the Ministry of Local Government. He said despite the con-

tractor, Jopper Mining being paid three-quarters of the total amount which is about K90, 000, the works are far from being done. Mr Ngulube, who is Deputy Parliamentary Chief Whip, as-

sured that the police post would be completed and handed over to the community before the end of the year. “We intend to finish it using the labour-based model because it will be cheaper, I don’t think we will be given another authority by the ministry to continue paying for the same works that were already paid for,” he said. He said when he toured the police post that he was disappointed with the contractor Jopper Mining and the engineering department from the Kabwe Municipal Council for the shoddy works done at the post. Mr Ngulube said it was shocking that despite the poor works done on the K125, 000 CDF projects, the contractor was demanding to be paid the balance of K36, 000.

Report on health issues, journalists counselled By KALOBWE BWALYA THE Media should take interest reporting on health issues so that the general public is well informed about disease outbreaks such as the Covid-9 pandemic which has claimed many lives across the globel, a media specialist, Zarina Geloo has said. Ms Geloo said health reporting in Zambia had not been given enough attention despite many challenges that were affecting the public.

She said political reporting had taken centre stage at the expense of serious issues that affecting the people. Ms Geloo said the majority of Zambians had little information on Covid -19 and how deadly the pandemic was because Journalists had not taken up the mandate to inform the public on health matters seriously. She said apart from the updates that the Ministry of Health were giving the nation, there was need for the media to also research and give more details

to the public. Ms Geloo said this during a media engagement in Lusaka. She appealed to all media institutions to create specialized health reporting desks which would see to it that the public were well informed on health matters. Ms Gelloo however cautioned journalists to be vigilant as they report their stories to avoid sending wrong messages to the public which may have serious repercussions. She observed that health re-

porting had a direct effects on people’s lives and that Journalists should ensure that they fed the people with correct information. “There is need for all media institutions to take a lead and interest and start reporting more on health matters , from the time Covid-19 was reported in the country not much has been done and people like from rural setup have little information on how Covid-19 gets transmitted and how deadly it is,” said Ms Geloo.

Incensed members of the public roughed up two ladies before reporting them to the Livingstone central police. An eye witness told the

BOZ APPROVES K4BN PACKAGE

URRENTLY, across the twenty plus commercial banks in Zambia, all those employed as Chief Risk Officers are men and there’s never been any woman employed in that capacity before since the introduction of that position. The same can be said at Bank of Zambia who happen to be the regulators in the industry. But Zambia is no exception, just over a decade ago, risk management had almost zero women visibility in the developed world. Starting off as a “young” risk professional then at one of the leading global investment banks in London, I found the profession to be daunting and intimidating. Back then, risk management was focused more on tasks such as statistical modelling to calculating market and other financial risks – skills often seen as “male” to the chagrin of many women. However, now there is greater focus on enterprise risk management, which is holistic in nature and ranges from conduct and culture to ensuring that systems are resilient to pandemics, tech outages and cyber terrorism. This development is not the only evolution risk management has seen in the past decade, it is more strategic in nature and risk practioners are now seen as critical and important strategic partners to the business.

Mboweni grapples to stabilise public wage in medium-term budget

7 / Daily Nation, Friday 30 October, 2020 JOHANNESBURG - South African Airways will get the R10.5 billion it has requested from government to fund its business rescue process. The monies will be made available from reductions from national departments and their entities as well as reductions from local and provincial conditional grants, according to the medium-term budget policy statement which Finance Minister Tito Mboweni tabled in Parliament on Wednesday. The R10.5 billion is in addition to the R6.5 billion that SAA was allocated in the Budget 2020 for settling its guaranteed debt and interest. The national carrier, which is insolvent, needs R19.6 billion to implement its business rescue plan, Fin24 previously reported. SAA was placed in business rescue in December 2019, this as it faced a liquidity crisis. Overall the global aviation industry has taken a beating due to the Covid-19 pandemic which led to travel restrictions. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) particularly expects full-year 2020 passenger numbers in Africa to reach 30 percent of 2019 base levels, and in 2021 this is expected to strengthen to 45 percent of 2019 levels.

SAA WINS BAILOUT

…Mboweni agrees to SAA's R10.5 billion bailout; no funds for SABC, Post Office and Denel

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni. (ACSA), of which government owns 75 percent, does not have sufficient funds for its operational requirements, Treasury noted. The travel restrictions have resulted in a decline in air traffic volumes and the medium-term projections are also low, it

said. While ACSA has secured short-term bank loans, reduced expenditure and revised its corporate strategy, it has also approached government for possible support. “Several companies including SAA are insolvent and have insufficient

funds to cover operational expenses,” the medium-term budget policy statement read. Additional spending pressures from state-owned enterprises (SOEs) remain a risk to the country’s fiscal outlook. The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions limiting economic activity have increased the financial pressures they face. Entities such as the SABC, the SA Post Office and Denel are among those who are seeking additional financing given the harsh impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on operations. But no announcements of additional funding for these entities were announced. According to the medium-term budget policy statement, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa received R85 million for the licensing of high demand spectrum, this auctioning process is set to be completed by March 2021. – FIN24.

JOHANNESBURG Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni announced in his medium-term budget policy statement that government would propose a 1.8 percent increase in the public service wage bill for the 2020-21 financial year and slightly lower growth in the remaining years of the medium-term. Mboweni tabled the medium-term budget policy statement in Parliament on Wednesday. It was the first medium-term budget policy statement since the advent of the pandemic and the first since President Cyril Ramaphosa tabled his Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan two weeks ago. The public service wage bill for the 2019-20 financial year stood at R567 billion, according to the 2020 medium term budget policy statement. While the proposal to increase the public service wage bill is at odds with Mboweni’s announcement in his February Budget Speech that the wage bill would be put on ice, it is in beat with Ramaphosa’s economic recovery plan, which seeks to leverage the public service to create jobs. “Government proposes growth in the public-service wage bill of 1.8 per cent in the current year and average annual growth of 0.8 per cent over the 2021 MTEF period,” the medium-term budget policy statement said.

China’s industrial Total makes second gas find off profits gain momentum South Africa’s southern coast as economy ticks up BEIJING - Profits of China’s major industrial firms maintained an upward momentum in September as production demands have gradually warmed up amid solid efforts to contain Covid-19 and bolster economic development, official data showed Tuesday. Profits of the country’s major industrial firms totalled 64.43 billion yuan (about US$96.5 billion) in September, increasing by 10.1 percent year on year, data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed. The growth narrowed 9 percentage points from August, said NBS senior statistician Zhu Hong. Despite pressure from the Covid-19 epidemic as well as the grim and complex domestic and international environment, China’s industrial companies saw a steady recovery in their profits as supply and demand further improved, Zhu said. In the third quarter, profits in the industrial sector rose 15.9 percent year on year, widening by 11.1 percentage points from that in the second quarter. A total of 31 of the 41 surveyed industrial sectors reported profit growth in the period, with 24 sectors registering a double-digit increase, said Zhu. Car manufacturing, nonferrous metal smelting and rolling, and general-purpose equipment manufacturing were among the sectors that saw the most prominent recovery, with profits in the auto industry expanding 53.8 percent year on year, extending the 26-percent increase in the second quarter. Zhu attributed the growth to policy support in advancing infrastructure construction and boosting consumption, as well as warming investment and increasing consumer demands. Earlier data from the China Passenger Car Association showed the country’s sales of passenger vehicles, including sedans, sport-utility vehicles, minivans and multipurpose vehicles, rose 7.3 percent year on year to 1.91 million units in September. – Xinhuanet.com

JOHANNESBURG Total South Africa on Wednesday announced a second gas discovery in the country, a year after another find off the shore of Mossel Bay. The Luiperd well is located in the Outeniqua Basin, some 175 kilometress off the southern coast, which is adjacent to the Brulpadda well, making the region the country’s new gas frontier. The company said the site, which covers 19, 000 square kilometres will be tested to assess the dynamic reservoir characteristics and deliverability. Total holds a 45 percent interest in the block, a 25 percent stake is controlled by Qatar Petroleum, while CNR International and Main Street, a South African consortium have a 20 and 10 percent respectively. Main Street is 51 percent percent owned by Arostyle Investments which has Phuthuma Nhleko, the former chairman of the MTN board, as one of its director. “Total and its partners have acquired important data on

the Paddavissie fairway, which will help to progress development studies and engage with South African authorities regarding the possible conditions of the gas commercialisation,” said Arnaud Breuillac, President of Exploration and Production. The Brulpadda discovery in 2019 was hailed as a game-changer for the country which largely depends on imports. The Mineral Resources and Energy, Gwede Mantashe, said the new discovery will further support government’s initiatives

to revitalise the National Petroleum Company. In June, Cabinet approved the establishment of the entity which would merge the Central Energy Fund, the Strategic Fuel Fund, iGas and PetroSA. According to Mantashe, the exploration process of the gas project will inject R1.5 billion into the economy and create employment. Government is also finalising the Upstream Petroleum Development Bill which is expected to provide an operational framework for the oil and gas sector. – FIN24.

Mboweni ‘‘The Minister of the Public Service and Administration and the leadership of the public service unions are meeting to discuss how best we adapt to the reality that we must do more with less, and that we are all in this together.’’ tabled in February, in which the minister is looking to contain spending on public service wage bill to realise savings of R160.2 billion over three years. Unions opposed this, clinging to a 2018 public service wage agreement hiking public service wages by CPI plus one percent for general workers and CPI plus 0.5 percent for workers at a director level from April 1. “The Minister of the Public Service and Administration and the leadership of the public service unions are meeting to discuss how best we adapt to the reality that we must do more with less, and that we are all in this together,” Mboweni said. The medium-term budget policy statement was quick to point out, though, that government did not implement the third year of the 2018 wage agreement. – FIN24.

Boeing to cut 20pc of workforce by end of 2021 LONDON - Boeing is to cut another 7, 000 jobs as its losses mount in the pandemic. The US planemaker, which had already announced deep cuts, said its staff would be down to just 130, 000 by the end of next year – 20 percent down on the 160, 000 it employed before the crisis. The coronavirus pandemic and safety concerns about its 737 Max jet have contributed to a slump in orders. The firm posted a loss of $466m for the three months to September 30, its fourth straight quarterly decline. However, it reaffirmed its expectation that US deliveries of the 737 Max would resume before the end of the year, albeit at deeply reduced production rates. The fleet has been grounded since March 2019 after 346 people died in two separate air crashes. The pandemic added to the crisis, causing a huge drop in air travel, pushing major airlines to the brink of bankruptcy and forcing them to cut staff and drop plans for new aircraft. As a result, Boeing has slashed production and also cut jobs. The firm announced a 10 percent reduction this spring and warned of the likelihood of deeper cuts through attrition, buyouts and layoffs over the summer. It does not expect travel to return to pre-crisis levels until about 2023. – BBC.

Debunking Shishuwa’s claim on planned 2021 election rigging

“ Give

Political Freedom without Economical Freedom is useless.” - Malema

Dear Editor, SHISHUWA accuses the same government that tolerates him to continue writing his anti-government theories of being intolerant, forgetting that it is also the same government that feeds him? To us, this proves the obvious that Shishuwa represents an agenda that is beyond fair academic commentary but a deeper political interest. Our conclusion is that Shishuwa is just another disgruntled and half-baked politician hiding behind the curtain of academia and must be treated as such Were it not for Shishuwa Shishuwa’s impeccable academic background, we would have ignored him because we have followed his many biased political commentaries against Edgar Lungu and his government and we know his inclination towards the opposition from the time of the Post Newspaper, but given his academic background and the audience he represents (UNZA) we are forced to debunk his sensational claim in his recent ranting titled “This is how President

Additionally, Mr Lungu was among a few ministers who never threw tantrums both in public and private. Further, Mr Lungu never at one given time positioned himself to be the next presidential candidate neither was he over-ambitious to be president of the republic of Zambia but through his impeccable hard work, humility, love for the party and the craving to serve the people of Zambia and put them first. Finally, Mr Lungu was seen and noticed as the only one who was versatile where the local dialect was concerned: besides Nyanja, he is able to communicate well in other local languages such as Bemba, Tonga and Lamba which eventually promotes oneness and unity.

THE ANC of South Africa and Zanu-PF of Zimbabwe have a proper system in place to ensure that the party structures from the top organ to the lowest organ are well supported and financed by making available both employment and business opportunities making them extremely strong on the ground. I have noted that as a party, the Patriotic Front is not taking advantage of certain clauses in our own PF constitution that are meant to equip our party structures and sympathisers with economic freedom as a result our party is becoming weak on the ground. EFF leader Julius Malema once said “Political Freedom without Economical Freedom is useless.” The answer to the current problems between the PF structures and the national mobilisation team is to make our party structures access both business and employment opportunities. Heads of parastatals and other quasi government organs must familiarise themselves with the PF constitution to ensure that no one drifts away from its pro poor manifesto meant to improve the welfare of the nation and people.

It’s painful to see that party structures are left out when it comes to enjoying both employment and business opportunities in preference of people that do not understand our pro poor manifesto above all do nothing to help grow the party on the ground. What message of hope in terms of economic freedom do we expect our PF officials to take to the people on the ground if they themselves are languishing in abject poverty or living slightly above the poverty line. The party hierarchy must consider tapping into some of the ideas from our youths meant to empower the structures countrywide in the best interest of the party and President Lungu. Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, heads of parastatals, directors, procurement and human resources managers must never negotiate with Article 3 in our party constitution lest they want to champion a different agenda from our pro poor manifesto as PF. The late President Sata (mhsriep) the founding father of PF frequently used to say and I quote “Ichikalika pansanka musumba wa bwali”. We don’t expect the PF to be attractive and strong on the ground if our party structures and sympathisers cannot access economic freedom, that’s like trying hard to build Castles in the air. The situation on the ground is sad because most of our party structures are in vast districts which makes it extremely difficult for our PARTY OFFICIALS to organise the party using their own hard earned little resources.

COP `CLEARS’ CONTRACTOR ACCUSED OF FRAUD By CHARLES MUSONDA

N arresting officer yesterday admitted that G&G Nationwide Zambia Limited did not obtain pecuniary advantage when it received part payment from China Henan for the works it was subcontracted on the Mansa- Luwingu Road. Detective Chief Inspector Elias Banda said this before Lusaka Chief Resident Magistrate Lameck Mwale in a case G&G Nationwide Zambia Limited director Christopher Banda has been charged with alleged forgery, uttering false documents, and obtaining pecuniary advantage. Mr. Banda has been accused of forging a Roads Development Agency (RDA) nomination letter and a Na-

tional Council for Construction (NCC) certificate; uttering the same documents to China Henan, and obtaining pecuniary advantage. But in cross examination by defence lawyer Charles Changano, Chief Inspector Banda conceded that it is not the accused person who signed on the RDA nomination letter and that even handwriting experts did not prove that he signed. He admitted that he did not see Mr. Banda utter the letter to China Henan, and that the NCC certificate does not bear his signature. Chief Inspector Banda also conceded that G&G did the works it was subcontracted for by China Henan, saying “when you perform you are supposed to be paid and there is no harm to be paid when you perform.” He also admitted that there

is no contractor who can start work without being paid part payment. The court has set November 27, 2020 as date for ruling on a case to answer. At a previous sitting, a witness from NCC had testified that the council never concluded that G&G Nationwide Zambia Limited had a forged construction certificate. China Henan and G&G entered into the contract and sometime in July 2015 a dis-

However, the High Court dismissed China Henan’s application and discharged the stay of execution of the awards and arbitral proceedings. Dissatisfied with the High Court ruling, China Henan appealed to the Supreme Court where the company also lost. However, in 2018 China Henan reported Mr. Banda (the accused person) to police on allegations that he used a forged RDA nomination letter and NCC certificate for G&G to win the tender on the Mansa- Luwingu road project, resulting in proceedings before Mr. Mwale. belts, school shoes, safety and military boots which creates a comparative advantage in Africa.

‘Promote children’s environmental rights’ By ANDREW MUKOMA GOVERNMENT should formulate legal frameworks and policies to help promote children's environmental rights, an expert has advised. Environment Africa country director, Namo Chuma, said Government should acknowledge and promote children's environmental rights because they played a critical role in protecting the young ones against environmental endangerments. He said this during the launch of the environmental child rights campaign in Livingstone yesterday. Mr Chuma said the environmental related changes were negatively impacting the lives and health of children world over. "More than 1.7 million children worldwide are affected by toxic waste that is found in our environment and it is therefore important that civil; society organisations, and government, take a stance on promoting children's rights. "We need to make sure that children's rights are enshrined in the constituency, in the policies and also enshrined in implementation plans," he said. Livingstone Mayor, Eugene Mapuwo, said young people were given the least say in matters of environmental violation despite

being among the most affected by environmental harm. "Research has established that whilst negative environmental effects affect all people, children and youth are particularly vulnerable due to their evolving physical and mental development and status within society," Mr Mapuwo said. He said Government would continue to comply with international agreements on the protection on children's rights such as the United Nations(UN) convention on the right of children as the country ratified the agreement in 1991. Mr Mapuwo commended Environment Africa for spearheading the establishment of environmental clubs in schools and also working with children and youths in climate smart agriculture. Meanwhile, a representative of the children and youths Levy Muwana made a petition that UN member states for the need to vote for the recognition and formulation of national policies on human rights and the rights of children. "The UN committee on the rights of the child and the state parties to the convention on the rights if the child need to develop an optional protocol that enshrines the right of children to a healthy environment and applies the convention on the rights of the child to the environmental context," he said.

ABOUT 350 rice farmers in Meheba farming bloc in Kalumbila are set to increase the production of the commodity. This follows the empowerment given to them by Government through the provision of seed to all the farmers. So far, 200 beneficiaries have since received 50kg each of super rice variety to complement the local Meheba Rice. Meheba Agricultural Supervisor, Daniel Chikwanda, said Government's intervention was timely as one of the farmers’ groups, Kalota Cooperative, had already clinched a contract to supply rice to a local mine food caterer. Mr Chikwanda said Kalota Cooperative had already delivered more than three tonnes of rice. One of the rice farmers, Abdu Ngiluwonsanga, a Rwandese, welcomed Government’s move to introduce the new variety saying it would help farmers increase yields and open more markets. "We are happy as farmers to see that Government has introduced a new variety and also the giving of seed to

farmers," he said. This came to light when North-western province Deputy Permanent Secretary, Emmanuel Chihili, toured the Meheba farm block. Mr Chihili said the programme which included seed packs of new super rice and technical support would go toward raising the provincial yield. The programme, said, would help farmers compete profitably on the market. "And in this program, we expect to empower at least 350 farmers, this is in the initial stage and we expect the number to increase in future," he said. He said overnment would target more farmers in Kalumbila, Zambezi and Chavuma, where rice producing farming blocks had been established to create value chain for the crop. Mr Chihili challenged the farmers to package Meheba rice into a recognizable brand to compete for distribution including in chain stores across the country. "What is important is to find a good brand name so that it can able to find itself on the bigger markets like chain stores like the case was with the famous Mongu and Nakonde rice," he said. He said Government was elated that the farmers had organized themselves into cooperatives and engaged the Zambia Bureau of Standards to certify the local rice in readiness for mass marketing. He assured the farmers that as part of the support, Government would consider capacity building training for the rice producers through the Ministry of Agriculture in order to grow quality rice for the market.

a bid to enhance women participation in economic activities, Solwezi Municipal Council has continued to train women in survivor skills. According to the council, the move would foster self-reliance and creation of self-employment among women. So far, 22 women in Kimasala ward were trained early this year and the skills training programme has now commenced in Sandangombe ward with a similar view. The skills training being offered to women included bottle decor knitting, tailoring and other programmes. Sandangombe ward councillor, Bernard Sokotela, stressed that women needed to learn essential skills that would improve their living standards and enable them start businesses and ultimately reduce poverty. The councillors was speaking during the opening of the training session where he encouraged the women to be innovative. "My appeal to all of you women that have been selected to undergo this training is that you concentrate so that by the time you finish the training, you will be able to stand on your own," he said. Mr Sokotela applauded the local authority for coming up

with such an initiative as it would reduce poverty among women. Meanwhile, council director of Housing and Social Services, Andrew Kalemba, said the skills training was an opportunity for women to engage in income generating activities thus contributing to the third pillar of the Seventh National Development Plan. The third pillar outlines poverty and vulnerability reduction. Mr Kalemba was optimistic that the skills training would produce quality skilled women entrepreneurs who would be relevant to the current and emerging employment needs not just in Solwezi but the nation at large.

'Innovation way out for youths' By SANFROSSA MANYINDA YOUTHS should be more innovative instead of only chasing white collar jobs, Yotum Mvula, a Copperbelt University graduate has advised. Mr Mvula said observed that many youths depended on professional jobs after graduating from tertiary institutions and ended up being unemployed for many years. He said in Kitwe yesterday that it was not good for the citizens to be grappling with unemployment when the country and the continent at large was underdeveloped, hence the need for youths to be more innovative. Mr Mutale is involved in various initiatives including art and design as well as public relations, but graduated in chemistry at CBU “Let us accept the reality point of the situation. Let us create

our own opportunities and make ourselves better unlike waiting for professional jobs that do not easily come by,” he said. Mr Mvula noted that the country did not have many industries that would employ all the people hence the need to avoid depending on formal employment. He said that Government could not employ everyone, stating that sticking to jobs in line with what one studied was not the best idea. He said that different qualifications obtained from institutions of higher learning were only there to guide the way and not to restrict anyone. Mr Mvula stressed the need for exposure in other fields especially now that the country was going through a tough time economically. “It is high time we shifted our minds from this mentality and begin to look at things differently if we are the succeed,” he said.

KALULUSHI UPDATES RATING VALUATION By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

KALULUSHI Municipal Council is undertaking a rating valuation exercise to prepare a supplementary valuation roll meant to capture plant and machinery in mines and industrial areas. The supplementary valuation roll would see an increase in the number of properties that would be levied in the district. This, according to the council would ultimately result in improved service delivery for the residents in the mine town. Kalulushi Municipal Council Assistant Public Relations Manager, Lidah Kamanga, said that during the preparation of the main valuation roll in 2017, the Council used the Rating Act No. 12 of 1997, which was in effect at the time. Ms Kamanga said this, however, did not provide for the valuation of plant

FILE PHOTO : Machinery in mines and machinery. "Following the enactment of Rating Act No. 21 of 2018, the Council has resolved to use the provisions of the Act to prepare a supplementary valuation roll to capture plant and machinery in the district," she said. Ms Kamanga explained that the council would take advantage of the

exercise to register infrastructure such as residential, commercial and industrial properties that had sprung up from 2017 to date. She added that the local authority was preparing the supplementary valuation roll in conjunction with the Government Valuation Department.

The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has to organise all the necessary logistical requisites to facilitate the holding of the political DNA test without breach.

beyond August 2021. They should subject baby Zambia to a maternity test to determine who the real mother is; which political party Zambians would like to entrust with their future. The political parties must submit to a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test through the ballot box; they must accept that there can only be one mother, one political party winner, as determined by the DNA test through the national elections slated for Thursday, August 12, 2021. All civilised democracies use the political DNA test to determine which political party among many should from be that Zambia can accrue entrusted with the clearing retirees on mandate the public to run the affairs of their naservice payroll: tionItfor another fixed term, as will save resources – from enshrined theirfor respective paying twoin people one job to constitutions. paying only one person for that The Electoral Commission job; of Zambia (ECZ) has to orgaThe freed resources can be nise necessary logistiusedall to the employ fresh graduates cal requisites facilitate the from collegestoand universities holding the political without of injecting fresh DNA funds test breach. intowithout the payroll; thus reducing the current high unemployment There is need to build conamong in Zambian youths curfidence the men and womrently roaming the streets; en in the ECZ whom we have Thousands jobsour will elecalso be entrusted to of run created as many retirees will intions.

They also should favour no one, incline towards no one; they must remain blind to and without feeling for anyone except as provided for by the law governing their conduct. No one should shred or diminish the integrity of the ECZ. Our politicians must also build and sustain confidence in the nation’s political DNA test mechanism of free, fair and transparent elections. They say do not puncture a life jacket on an island where you are not assured of a life saver! For the 2021 political DNA test to be conducted successfully, there is need for all the political parties to cooperate. They must have enough trust and confidence to submit to the political DNA test. They must subordinate themselves to the will of the Zambian people, which will only be determined through the tripartite elections in August 2021. The DNA litmus test should show to all and sundry who the people’s choice will be when that time

Why organisations need to integrate enterprise risk management into their strategic planning process?

Some are even ready to have Zambia mutilated so that no one takes leadership next August. The difference though, is that today there is no King Solomon whose wisdom the mothers (political parties) should beseech. Fortunately, due to scientific and technological advancement, instead of seeking the wise counsel of King Solomon, the political mothers of Zambia must seek a scientific answer to their haggling over which party should rule Zambia

to take account of risk implications on their objectives or a lack of that process could result in failure. To integrate ERM into the strategic planning process, organisations need to ensure that the risk information is current, complete and reliable. For this purpose, robust procedures of risk assessments, treatment and

monitoring need to have a practical narrative to them. Suitable monitoring of all risks, through key risk indicators, enables organisations to foresee potential problems. If the risk tolerance tends to exceed levels, alarm bells can be triggered. Thus, organisations have the opportunity to review the treatment strategy given to the risk, which

comes. However, for the political DNA test to succeed, there is

Today, Zambia is in a similar predicament as the baby of the two mothers who went to Solomon for dispute resolution. Our political parties are engaged in a bitter feud over who should rule Zambia come August 2021.

ILLEGAL ENGAGEMENT

…Zim wants to outlaw citizens' ability to communicate with foreign states HARARE - Zimbabwe has proposed a legislative amendment that would criminalise unauthorised communication by its citizens with foreign governments, a move critics fear will stifle individual freedoms. Cabinet approved the criminal law amendment late on Tuesday after noting that current legislation does not forbid private citizens from engaging with foreign governments without prior consent. Information Minister Monica Mutsvangwa explained the newly proposed law would criminalise “isolated citizens or groups who for self-gain cooperate... with hostile foreign governments to inflict suffering on Zimbabwean citizens and to cause damage to national interests.” “Such wilful misinformation will therefore make the individuals and groups liable for prosecution,” she said after the cabinet meeting. Zimbabwean political analyst Alexander DAR ES SALAAM Tanzania’s main opposition presidential candidate has said he will not accept the result of Wednesday’s election because of voting irregularities. “Whatever happened yesterday (Wednesday) was not an election,” Tundu Lissu told journalists in the main city Dar es Salaam. Responding to earlier criticisms, the electoral commission said on Wednesday that the accusations were unfounded. Lissu was one of 14 candidates challenging President John Magufuli whose party has governed for decades. Maalim Seif Sharif, the main opposition presidential candidate on the semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar, has been arrested shortly after saying that the polls had been rigged and calling for mass protests. On Wednesday, the head of the National Electoral Commission dismissed the claims of electoral fraud. Semistocles Kaijage said allegations of fake ballot papers were unsubstantiated.

President Mnangagwa.

Rusero deplored the proposed changes as an “archaic” repudiation of individual rights by an increasingly repressive regime. President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration has turned growingly intolerant towards dissent after he took office in 2017 following the ouster of Robert Mugabe through a military-led coup. Security forces have violently dispersed several anti-government protests over the past three years, with several people dying in the process. Political opponents and human rights activists are regularly abducted by suspected government forces and held for weeks on end, during which they are intimidated and abused. Rusero feared the cabinet’s proposal would give Mnangagwa more leeway to silence his opponents. “You are tinkering the law to protect the interests of the ruling elite,” Rusero told AFP. – AFP.

3 dead as woman beheaded in France NICE, France - A knifewielding attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar” beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a suspected terrorist act at a church in the French city of Nice yesterday, while a gunman was shot dead by police in a separate incident. Within hours of the Nice attack, police killed a man who had threatened passersby with a handgun in Montfavet, near the southern French city of Avignon. He was also shouting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest), according to radio station Europe 1. In Saudi Arabia yesterday, state television reported that a Saudi man had been arrested in the city of Jeddah after attacking and injuring a guard at the French consulate. The French Embassy said the consulate was subject to an “attack by knife which

targeted a guard,” adding the guard was taken to hospital and his life was not in danger. Nice’s mayor, Christian Estrosi, who described the attack in his city as terrorism, said on Twitter it had happened in or near Notre Dame church. In Paris, lawmakers in the National Assembly observed a minute’s silence in solidarity with the victims. Police said three people were confirmed to have died in the attack and several were injured. The French anti-terrorist prosecutor’s department said it had been asked to investigate. A representative of the French Council for the Muslim Faith strongly condemned the attack. “As a sign of mourning and solidarity with the victims and their loved ones, I call on all Muslims in France to cancel all the celebrations of the holiday of Mawlid.” The holiday is the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad, which was being celebrated yesterday. The attack comes while France is still reeling from the beheading earlier this month of middle school teacher Paty by a man of Chechen origin. The attacker had said he wanted to punish Paty for showing pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad in a civics lesson. - REUTERS.

THE Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) is concerned that dependable Chipolopolo striker Patson Daka may miss the crucial back-to-back AFCON qualifiers against Botswana next month after he picked an injury during Red Bull Salzburg's 3-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid. Daka sustained a thigh injury in Tuesday’s Champions League fixture against the Spanish club.

INSIDE SPORTS

DAKA'S INJURY WORRIES FAZ With just 27 minutes of action at Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium, the 22-year-old went down on the pitch after winning a corner kick for his team and was replaced by Malian forward Sekou Koita when it was obvious he would be unable to continue in the

five-goal thriller against Diego Simeone’s men. However the news of his injury has not been received well by FAZ who fear that the lethal top man will not be available for the crucial games against Botswana. FAZ general secretary Adri-

an Kashala said Daka is one of the dependable players needed for the AFCON qualifiers slated for November 12 and 16 respectively. "Our prayer is that the player gets healed and get back on his toes because we need him. "He is one of our depend-

able players and the news of his injury was not received well but I pray that he will be well to be part of the Botswana game," Kashala said. Meanwhile, Daka is hoping to return stronger following his latest injury setback on Tuesday night.

The Red Bull Salzburg striker offered a morale-boosting update on his fitness after sustaining a hamstring injury. Although his Austrian Bundasliga side is yet to give an update about his knock and the duration he would stay on the sidelines, Daka took to social media to announce that his comeback will be stonger. “The comeback will be stronger than the setback, in every disappointment, there’s an appointment. Thanks for all the messages!” the Zambian international said.

ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA 27th October, 2020

PUBLIC NOTICE POSTPONEMENT OF THE COMMENCEMENT DATE FOR THE MOBILE VOTER REGISTRATION EXERCISE AND THE EXTENSION OF THE PERIOD FOR ONLINE VOTER PRE-REGISTRATION The Commission wishes to announce that the Mobile Voter Registration exercise which was scheduled for 28th October 2020 to 30th November 2020 has been postponed. The Mobile Voter Registration Exercise will now be conducted from 9th November 2020 to 12th December, 2020.

Soladoye however reaffirmed MTN’s commitment to continue supporting the growth of football in Zambia and hosting the awards for the 2020/2021 soccer season. “We are glad with the Covid situation in Zambia that we can say the games will return shortly. “But in view of the Covid situation and consultations with FAZ we have always wanted to host the awards but will not happen this year because we want to protect people’s lives but we are looking forward to the league and have the awards by the end of the new season,” Soladoye said. Meanwhile FAZ general secretary Adrian Kashala has urged players from all Super League clubs not to be discouraged. Kashala said there is need for players to continue working hard because the awards would return after the new season. “We are in a situation where things are not running as normal and in doing so we need to observe certain restrictions,” Kashala said.

FAZ through its president Andrew Kamanga had indicated that the meeting would be held today while the aggrieved are said to have not yet received an invitation. FIFA had initially requested three representatives from the Ministry of Sports, FAZ and the aggrieved to attend the meeting. But the aggrieved had earlier written to both FIFA and FAZ seeking clarity on what the criteria was for the three that were requested for. Lawyer for the aggrieved Gilbert Phiri said his party were yet to receive correspondence from the soccer governing body regarding the query. And by press time yesterday Phiri comfirmed that they were y e t

to receive any date for the meeting despite having only learnt of it in the press. Meanwhile, Kananga indicated earlier that the association was ready for today's meeting meant to outline the way toward concerning the FAZ elections which were halted in March. Kamanga said the meeting which was scheduled for September 1 but was postponed after the aggrieved noted that they were not ready as it was called at short notice. "We had that meeting set up in September but unfortunately the other colleagues said the notice was short. FIFA extended the notice and said the meeting would take off on the 30th of October 2020,” Kamanga said. “We hope this time everyone will be ready because it is a virtual meeting. Everyone will dial in and it is limited to the invited parties. FAZ only has three representatives, the other group has three and the ministry and sports council. We hope that coming out of that we will now have a clear direction in terms of where we are going in terms of elections.”
