Ex Speaker denies interfering with lodge access By GRACE CHAILE-LESOETSA FORMER Speaker of the National Assembly, Amusa Mwanamwambwa, has denied allegations by Pioneer Safari Lodge and another complainant that he was restricting them a right of way from their properties through an access road. Mr Mwanamwambwa has instead alleged that Pioneer Safari Lodge and Chriss Christian Wienand do not want to employ a security guard to man the gate because they want to save money. He said they told him that they did not budget for the expenses or cost of manning the gate. The lodge and Mr Wienand have in this matter sued Mr Mwanamwambwa, seeking a declaration that they were entitled to a right of way from their properties through the access road. Pioneer Safari Lodge and Mr Wienand also cited the Attorney General in the matter and are seeking an order that Mr Mwanamwambwa should pay them damages for inconvenience, loss of quiet enjoyment and loss of business. They also want an injunction restraining Mr Mwanamwambwa from restricting, preventing or otherwise interfering with the reasonable enjoyment of the way. But in an affidavit in opposition of ex parte summons for an order of interim injunction, Mr Mwanamwambwa filed in the Lusaka High Court recently, he stated that the supporting affidavit by Pioneer Safari Lodge Limited and Mr Wienard were unnecessarily repetitive . He explained that in the late 1980s his wife, Catherine

Allagoa Mwanamwambwa and him, acquired farm no.380a in Palabana area, then part of Lusaka district. "That upon my retirement in 2011, a portion of land was subdivided from farm 380a and ceded to the State for the specific purpose of building my retirement house, as per my statutory conditions of service. The portion in question is now Subdivision no.1 of farm No. 380a," he stated. Mr Mwanamwambwa stated that there was no omission or negligence on the part of the State to include a road on his gate as there had never been a road cutting across his land to the plaintiff's land. He stated that even before the subject land was ceded to the State to build his retirement house, as evidenced by the Certificate of Title he has, he took occupation of the retirement house in 2015. Mr Mwanamwambwa said because of his passion for tourism, he had set up a game ranch on Subdivision 1 of farm 380a and among the animals he is keeping are eland, impalas, duikers and clawless ottos. Mr Mwanamwambwa stated that the Meanwood gate and the Twatasha gates were too far from the plaintiffs as they were located on the western part of his farm while the plaintiffs claimed the land was located on the eastern part of the farm. Mr Mwanamwambwa stated that it was not true that he restricted entry and exit access to Pioneer Safari Lodge. He stated that the plaintiffs have not suffered any loss, damage or inconvenience and that the said gate was at all times accessible to them.

‘It’s illegal for Govt to take-over Horizon School’

STATE SET TO PLACE ‘SPIES’ IN MINING FIRMS By SILUMESI MALUMO

WE will strategically place experts in all mining companies to ascertain and monitor the minerals that are being exported, Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development Permanent Secretary Barnaby Mulenga has said. Mr Mulenga said the ministry had already written to relevant authorities for approval so that the process could start. He said in an interview yesterday that the ministry was given a policy direction to go ahead with the programme. Mr Mulenga was reacting to sentiments by mining expert, Edward Simukonda, who proposed that Government must come up with a plan to place spies in extractive companies to ascertain minerals in blisters extracted and exported.

By SILUMESI MALUMO THE UPND leadership has betrayed chiefs for shooting down Bill 10 which sought to resolve traditional issues, Chief Luchembe of Mpika has said. Chief Luchembe has, therefore, proposed that there is need to come up with a law to discipline Members of Parliament abscond Parliament sessions which are of national interest. Chief Luchembe said traditional leaders had been facing numerous challenges especially over succession which Bill 10 was supposed to address but selfish UPND MPs decided to shoot it down just to satisfy their master. He said in an interview yesterday that what the UPND MPs did would work to their

authorities give a policy direction on how the programme should be undertaken, people who would be engaged to undergo orientation. “What you will be interested to know is that we are awaiting for approval then the people that will be engaged to be in the mines will be subjected to an orientation process. “This has been our position as government, so as government we are aware of what the stakeholders are talking about and we are on top of things,” Mr Mulenga said.

Mr Mulenga

UPND MPs have betrayed us – Chief Luchembe disadvantage come the 2021 general elections. The traditional leader said he and other traditional leaders would support the ruling Patriotic Front which had the interest of people at heart and not betrayers. Chief Luchembe said the UPND would have nothing to tell the traditional leaders and other Zambians. “Our representatives in the house decided to be selfish

and not looking into the larger picture of the nation. There were so many progressive clauses for instance today when you walk around you will see that the chiefdoms are facing a lot of troubles and squabbles. “And Bill 10 would have helped us resolve issues but with its collapse we shall remain as we are and we shall see many dying because of wrangles in the chiefdoms,”

he said. The traditional leader said he would not be ashamed to support the ruling party because the opposition had disappointed the chiefs. Chief Luchembe said the collapse of Bill 10 means that there would be no delimitation exercise and vast constituencies such as Kachibiya would be disadvantaged in terms of development.

Reduce power tariffs, demands PeP By PETER SICHALI

By PETER SICHALI THE action by Government to take over Horizon Primary and High School is illegal, the school’s board chairman, Mr Leslie Mbula has said. Mr Mbula argued that the school was a business owned by Horizon Educational Trust and therefore Government could not take over the business purportedly under the Land Acquisition Act. He said Government can only compulsorily acquire the land and the buildings and not a business concern. “We therefore, demand the release of all movable assets belonging to the Horizon Educational Trust which Government is using without paying for,” Mr Mbula said. Government, he noted, should pay for movable properties such as computers, desks, books and teaching aids and other items. Mr Mbula appealed to Government to uphold the constitution and reverse compulsory acquisition of the business concern. He wondered how Government could even take over teachers who were employed by the Horizon Educational Trust without any budgetary provision. Mr Mbula said takeover of the school was a recipe for an audit query and the Auditor-General should move in urgently.

Mr Simukonda had said this was because the country was losing billions through cheating. The 2019 Financial Intelligence Centre report revealed that some mines in Zambia were repatriating proceeds to offshore jurisdictions while declaring losses to evade tax. The report also disclosed that some precious stones and base metals that were exported to foreign jurisdictions were undervalued. Mr Simukonda said it would be a brilliant idea to place spies in mines because investors had been cheating over their production and the minerals they were extracting. But Mr Mulenga said Government was aware and that was the reason for considering to come up with such a programme. He said once the relevant

THERE is need to revise electricity tariffs downwards so that they are affordable to an average local business, Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) president Sean Tembo has proposed. Mr Tembo said the unstable and unaffordable supply of electricity, which was a key production input was one of the major contributors to the continued fall of the Kwacha against major convertible currencies. “The diminishing productive capacity of the economy due primarily to the unstable and unaffordable supply of electricity, which is a key production input, must be addressed,” he said. Mr Tembo said the country had experienced the largest increment in electricity tariffs at the same time that it had seen the most unstable supply of the commodity. He said the situation had caused the economy’s productive capacity to significantly diminish and several businesses failing and shutting down. “In order to address this problem, it

will not be enough to only increase the country’s electricity generation capacity, but revise electricity tariffs downwards,” he said. Mr Tembo said: “The argument of comparing local tariffs to those in the region by first converting them to US dollars is cyclic, because our continued loss of productive capacity causes the Kwacha to depreciate which makes our electricity tariffs appear to be reasonable in US dollar terms, when in fact not.” “We believe that the third major contributor to the continued fall of the Kwacha against major currencies is the inadequate leadership at the Bankof Zambia,” he added. He said the recent statement by the BoZ Governor, Mr Christopher Mvunga, that he had stabilised the Kwacha at K20.31 to the US dollar speaks volumes about the true extent of his failure to understand the current economic malaise. “It must be noted that one of the key roles of a central bank Governor is to exude confidence in the financial markets in particular and the economy in general,” he added.

‘Jail 3rd term liars’ …It’s contempt to claim Lungu not eligible because ConCourt ruled on matter From Page 1

Mr Mulemwa said the ConCourt already ruled that President Lungu was eligible to contest the 2021 elections because he had only served one term. “This is clear contempt of court, these individuals must be jailed immediately,” he said. And the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) president Mr Andrew Ntewewe said the Constitutional Court must take punitive action against those undermining its ruling on the eligibility of President Edgar Lungu and want to waste its time by petitioning. He said that the ConCourt should not entertain time wasters but ensure that punitive action was taken to stop the drama on President Lungu’s eligibility. “The eligibility of the President is a well settled matter,” he said. Mr Ntewewe said the punitive action would be the only way to handle individuals who had been denouncing the ConCourt ruling. “It is unfortunate that even learned senior lawyers can sink so low as to argue the ConCourt judgement,” he said. In a statement, president

of the Constitutional Court Justice Hilda Chibomba said the court had already made judgement on President Lungu’s eligibility which could be accessed as it was in public domain. This was after the Daily Nation wrote to the Constitutional Court, seeking “much clearer” interpretation of its judgement on the eligibility of President Lungu to stand in the 2021 Presidential and general elections. Justice Chibomba urged Zambians to read the judgement on the head of State’s eligibility to stand in 2021 because the matter was conclusively disposed-of. “As regards the judgement that you have made reference to in your letter, kindly be advised that the same was delivered by the court and it can be easily accessed as it is in public domain. I can only urge you to read it,” Justice Chibomba said. UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma however said the party would not accept that President Lungu was eligible to contest the 2021 general elections because the Constitutional Court did not mention his name.

Gold: foreigners nabbed By SILUMESI MALUMO FOREIGN ERS who have been carrying out illegal gold mining at Kasenseli have been arrested and awaiting to appear in court, Mwinilunga District Commissioner Arnot Mapulanga has confirmed. Mr Mapulanga added, however, that police officers who were conniving with the foreign nationals had fled the scene. He said the foreigners were apprehended on Saturday by some residents who were alerted of illegal activities which had been taking place at Kasenseli. Mr Mapulanga said in an interview yesterday that the foreigners were in police custody and awaiting to appear in court soon. He said the area was lately flooded by foreign national who were stealing gold but this trend would be eradicated in the area. He said the people in the area were alert and anyone found engaging in illegality would be arrested and dealt with accordingly. “Our patriotic citizens went

into the mine to arrest our police officers who are involved in illegalities but the officers escaped. “The people moved in to stop officers whose job is to protect the resource on behalf of Zambia instead they are stealing gold. They only managed to apprehend foreign nationals who have been working with these police officers and as we speak right now they are in police custody,” Mr Mapulanga said. He said that investigations had been instituted to know the actual police officers who were on the run and behind the illegality. Mr Mapulanga said the gold had been confiscated and it was in his custody for safety. “These police officers involved in illegality are tarnishing the good name of the government which employed them to guard the resource on behalf of this country,” he said. Mr Mapulanga, however, said illegal activities had reduced after the ZCCM-IH moved in and started mining activities.

EXPENSIVE INDEPENDENT POWER PRODUCERS RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES - ZESCO By KETRA KALUNGA in Siavonga

HE losses that Zesco is making are not caused by the low water levels at the Kariba North Bank Power Station but by the Independent Power Producers (IPP) high tariff charges, says Director Commercial and Customer Services, Chiti Mataka. Mr. Mataka explained that Zesco is buying power from IPP at a higher price quoted in

And Energy minister, Matthew Nkhuwa said the ministry was engaging the IPP on reducing tariffs “What Independent Power Producers (IPP) are changing Zesco is much higher than what Zesco is selling electricity.

The idea is to serve the people or Zambia and we want to give them electricity at costreflective price,” Mr Nkhuwa said.

Roan MP demands return of 15 miners from forced leave By SIMON MUNTEMBA

Mr Chishala

THE 15 miners at MCC Mines in Luanshya who were sent on an indefinite leave last March have not been recalled despite President Edgar Lungu having announced that everything should return back to normal a few months ago, NDC Roan Member of Parliament Joseph Chishala has said. Mr Chishala wondered why the mining company had not called back the employees eight months since they were sent on forced leave when almost every company was operating “under normal” since the Covid-19 measures were lessened. He said the employees are denied housing allowance and had been surviving on

the basic pay for eight months now which was not enough. “Let the MCC Mines in Luanshya call back these employees who were sent on an indefinite forced leave by the mine on the 29th March 2020. “A few months ago the President gave a guidance in parliament through his speech that everything should return back to normal in work places, but it's shocking to why the management at the Chinese firm decided to give the Presidential directive a deaf ear,” Mr Chishala said. He also urged the Ministry of Labour to immediately visit the mine and sort out this issue.

Mopani talks on course, say partners By SANFROSSA MANYINDA STAKEHOLDERS in the ongoing discussions concerning Mopani Copper Mine shares have called for patience as discussions are progressing smoothly. On August 25 this year, ZCCM-IH through the Ministry of Mines expressed interest to acquire additional shares in Mopani from Glencore International, which holds 73 percent stake. ZCCM-IH, a minority shareholder at 16 percent in the mine, submitted an expression of interest to Glencore which had responded favourably. The National Union of Mines and Allied Workers (NUMAW) assured citizens that the discussions over ZCCM-IH’s intention to increase its stake in Mopani, were so far going on well as there was full representation from all interest parties. NUMAW president, James Chansa, explained in an interview in Kitwe yesterday that it was doing everything possible to ensure that members’ interests were well taken care of. "We can assure you that we will do everything possible to

come out clean and ensure that the needs of our people and members are properly presented. So far, everything is moving smoothly," he said. Similarly, Association of Mine Suppliers and Contractors president, Augustine Mubanga, said in a separate interview that there had been steady progress made so far and called on the citizens to exercise patience. Mr Mubanga said the acquisition of shares was not a simple issue, but a complicated one that needed due diligence so that the stakeholders did not rush into making an agreement which would be

regretted afterwards. He said Government as well as stakeholders taking part in the discussions were very cautious to ensure that they take the right step. "Those that are agitated by the slow pace at which the information concerning the matter was flowing should exercise some patience and allow the people discussing the matter do the right thing so that there are no blame games at the end of the day when an agreement is reached. “We do not want to come to a position where we get to accuse some people that they did not do a good job," Mr

Mubanga said. And Mines and Minerals Development Minister, Richard Musukwa, said separately that the Government would not comment on the matter at the moment. Mr Musukwa however said that a comprehensive statement would soon be prepared to update the nation. Mopani Copper Mines attempted to place its assets on care and maintenance in March, this year citing losses the firm recorded due to Covid-19 but Government rejected the proposal as notice was not given.

‘FQM OPS TO CONTINUE IN ZAMBIA’ ...Govt creating conducive investment environment By SIMON MUNTEMBA

PEACE MUST PREVAIL A PEACEFUL election process is an inherent value in any democratic formation which all political players must espouse. The election process can only be peaceful and fair if political stakeholders are civil in their discourse and other undertakings with due respect for opponents and other players in a contest. Zambia has always been a peaceful nation, which has transitioned through six Heads of State – a rare feat in Sub-Saharan Africa and other jurisdictions. It is hoped, therefore, that Zambia will maintain this record from now, through the campaign period to 2021 general elections and beyond. In this vein, Inspector General Kakoma Kanganja has declared that his men and women in uniform will maintain peace before and after next year’s general elections. His declaration could not have come at a better time than now, considering that political parties and leaders have been preparing to get into the campaign for next year’s polls. This message is important, too, because this country has witnessed pockets of violence during by-elections whereby cadres have clashed with some being severely injured or even killed. A peek into the recently-held election in the United States (US) shows that indeed Democrats and Republicans and a larger populace were tensed up, but they never resorted to violence. Yes, they voted, gathered and waited for the Presidential election results from Tuesday last week up to Saturday, without an ounce of violence. Although ideologies, cultural values and other factors are starkly different, the unfolding events in the US can be used as an appropriate metric of a peaceful and fair election process which Zambia can emulate. In fact, US President-elect Joe Biden stated after amassing the required statistic that the issues surrounding the largest economy are not about Democrats or Republicans but they are about American citizens. Simply put, Mr Biden was alluding to the fact that it was not about winning or losing an election, but that the democratic process was about advancing the interest of all Americans. By the same token, political players in Zambia should adorn themselves with better political lenses so that they do not look at any election as a “do or die” but as a normal democratic process of ushering in a leadership for selfless service. Secondly, political opponents should not view one another as enemies, but as partners in democracy and in political service. To sum it all, it is up to political players from both sides of the political divide to rid this country of political violence and focus on delivery service to Zambians. Even if political dialogue has been a far cry in this country, violence can still be eliminated through commitment in all political parties. Thus internal political introspection must be done instead of overburdening law enforcement officers with the task of quenching violence perpetrated through rampaging youths. Democracy in Zambia must start growing now! Zambia must sustain the record of being the oasis of peace and this assignment lies squarely on the shoulders of all politicians. Politicians, therefore, must not at any one time embark on shredding their rivals’ personalities, but they ought to focus on discussing national issues and development process. Peace must prevail!

E will continue our operations because the Zambian Government has been creating a conducive investment environment in the mining sector, First Quantum Minerals Limited has said. The mining firm’s global exploration director Mike Christie said FQM would continue operations in Zambia and cooperate with the government, local communities and all stakeholders under a win-win strategy. This is contained in a statement by first secretary – press at the Zambia High Commission in Australia, Herbert Mutabi. Mr Christie made the remarks during a presentation

titled Africa Update at the just ended 2020 Africa Down Under Mining conference held in Perth, Western Australia. Mr Christie commended the Zambian Government for creating a conducive investment environment in the mining sector. Meanwhile, Zambia’s High Commissioner to Australia, Frank Bwalya, said companies in Australia needed to look at the continued presence of other Australian companies as proof of the good investment climate in the country. Mr Bwalya observed that the mere fact that companies such as FQM had long term investment in Zambia spoke volumes about what the mineral-rich country had done to inspire confidence in its mining sector.

He added that it was time for Australian companies to take a second look and realise the opportunities the country was offering. In reference to the discovery of rich gold deposits in Mwinilunga, Mr Bwalya expressed optimism that Zambia would soon be counted among big gold mining countries. “The name Zambia is synonymous with copper mining, but in the near future the country will also be synonymous with gold mining,” Mr Bwalya said. The envoy hailed the recently launched Export Diversification Strategy in Gold and Gemstone Mining describing it was a timely strategy to inspire more confidence in the gold mining sector in Zambia.

Lungu hails Biden election …as he donates K200, 000 to UCZ By IRVIN MUYUMBWA PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has congratulated the President-elect of the United States of America, Joe Biden following his election as the 46th president of that country. And President Lungu has donated K200, 000 to the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) Chimwemwe congregation in Lusaka’s Mandevu area towards construction works at the church. President Lungu described Mr. Biden's election as a demonstration of the American people's confidence in his ability to foster unity and increase socio-economic development, among other aspects outlined in his Restoration Plan. "On behalf of the Government and people of Zambia, as well as on my own behalf, I wish to convey our heartfelt congratulations on your election as

President Lungu President of the United States of America," President Lungu. President Lungu said Zambia and USA enjoy strong relations that were based on mutual respect and benefit for its citizens. This is contained in a statement issued by special assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations, Isaac Chipampe. Meanwhile, President Lungu has donated K200, 000 to the UCZ Chimwemwe congregation to help with construction at the church. President Lungu said together with the entire leadership of the PF, he remains delighted to be part of the noble task of delivering God's work through the donation towards the completion of the dining hall,

President-elect Joe Biden construction of a kitchen and the private room for the reverend at the request of the church. The Head of State was represented at the Chimwemwe UCZ fundraising service yesterday by PF Secretary-General Davies Mwila who delivered the K200, 000 and an additional K10, 000 raised amongst PF officials towards the needs of the reverend. “We believe very strongly that the Church and the State must work hand in hand in fostering development, peace and national unity” President Lungu said. And Chimwemwe UCZ congregation Reverend Charles Kafunda expressed gratitude to President Lungu for the donation.

Fuel situation stable, says Energy minister By KETRA KALUNGA in Siavonga THE fuel situation in the country is very stable and operations at Indeni Oil Refinery are up and running, says Energy Minster, Matthew Nkhuwa. Mr. Nkhuwa said the country has enough fuel in stock following increased stock days from one to five days. Mr Nkhuwa was speaking to journalists in an interview during the tour of the Kariba North Bank Power Station in Siavonga with five provincial ministers. He said that at some point the country had very little fuel stock of about a day in the tanks but it has improved and soon would reach the minimum 15 days. "The fuel situation is very stable I can assure you, we have enough fuel stock coming in and our stock days are improving, at one time in our tanks we had very little stock like one day," he said. And Mr. Nkhuwa said his ministry is impressed with Zesco operations at the three power generation plants, Kafue Gorge Upper and Lower and Kariba North Bank Power stations. He said Zesco has potential to generate power at full capacity at the Kariba North Bank Station but the only challenge was the water levels to generate power.

‘New Kafue power project key to North-West mines’ By KETRA KALUNGA in Chikankata THE 750 megawatts Kafue Gorge Lower Hydro-Power project in Southern Province is key to mining operations for the large scale mining companies in North-Western Province, Says provincial minister, Nathaniel Mubukwanu. Mr Mubukwanu said once the hydropower project was completed in April next year, the 810 power deficit in the country which had affected operations of the mines in the

province would be reduced. He was confident that with increased power supply, NorthWestern Province was poised for increased economic momentum which would spill to the sub-contractors and entrepreneurs that supply services to the mines. The minister was speaking to journalists during a tour of the Kafue Gorge Lower power plant by provincial ministers led by Energy Minister, Matthew Nkhuwa. “We host three large-scale mining operations and these are huge operations which I

know have been inhibited in many ways to exploit fully their operation because of inadequate energy supply,” he said. Southern Province Minister, Edify Hamukale, said the hydropower project would answer Zambians’ industrialisation ambitions and help the country realise its potential in the exportation of surplus energy. Dr Hamukale described the Southern Province as the hub of power generation and said the energy surplus had come at the right time because the country’s economy was growing. He also said the project has

transformed the lives of young people by imparting life skills programmes among them electrical engineering, plumbing, and construction. “I wish to thank the President for the courage and working with people and listening to the people’s interest and for giving us this province which will forever change Zambia for the better,” Dr Hamukale said. The first unit would be commissioned this month and all the units would have been commissioned by April 2021 contributing 750 megawatts to the national grid.

‘GOVERNMENT MUST UPSCALE GOLD MINING’ By PETER SICHALI

OVERNMENT should come up strategies of scaling up gold mining so that it can contribute to economic growth, Zambia Micro and Small Traders Association (ZAMAST) has suggested. ZAMAST Muchinga Province coordinator, Josephat Chitimbwa, said gold deposits in many parts of the country could help revamp the economy. Mr Chitimbwa said there was need for Government to empower as many local companies as possible to engage in gold mining and help grow the economy that was currently struggling. "In as much we want gold mining to be done at large scale, foreigners should never be allowed near gold mining," Mr Chitimbwa said. He said gold mining was not complex and therefore Government should empower local firms with machinery so that they could mine the resource on a large scale. "We have all it takes and we have resources at our disposal all we need is strategy on how to maximize gold mining to grow

the economy," Mr Chitimbwa said. Government, he said, should incorporate both small scale and medium miners to grow the gold mining sector. "All small scale miners should be given licences with conditions only to sale to the Bank of Zambia,"Mr Chitimbwa said. Mr Chitimbwa also urged

Government to deploy state security in all gold mining sites to safe guard the resource. "State security should be deployed to all the gold mining areas. This will ensure that no foreigners will be entertained. They will equally ensure that all the gold is sold to Bank of Zambia,"Mr Chitimbwa said.

Youth jailed for killing friend in brawl By GRACE CHAILELESOETSA A 24-year- old man of Lusaka will spend the next eight years of his life in prison for causing the death of another man. This was after Lusaka High Court Judge, Mwila Kombe, sentenced Bwalya Mulenga to eight years imprisonment with hard labour for manslaughter. On January 21,this year Mulenga found Richard Simwinga (now deceased) and his friends chatting. Mulenga picked a fight with Simwinga’s friend ,William. It was then that Simwinga tried to stop the fight but Mulenga got a stone and hit Simwinga on the head. The man sustained a deep cut on his head and was rushed to George Clinic where he was stitched and later referred to Matero Level One hospital. Simwinga was discharged on January 30, this year but around 12:00 hours the same day, he got ill and was taken to University

Teaching Hospital where he was admitted until the following day when he died. The postmortem indicated that he died due to the blunt impact trauma to the head. In mitigation, lawyer Bentry Banda from the Legal Aid Board, said Mulenga was now a born- again Christian whose heart and mind were aligned to the demand of biblical principles. Mr Banda said Mulenga was a youth capable of making meaningful contribution to the well-being of the society. Ms Justice Kombe said Mulenga was such a cruel person as he aimed for the most delicate part of the body which was the head. She said he needed more time to reflect because a life was lost in the most tragic way. Ms justice Kombe however considered the fact that he was still a youth therefore did not impose a stiffer punishment and only sentenced Mulenga to eight years imprisonment with hard labour.

K1.9m released for Luangwa Bridge repair GOVERNMENT has released K1.9 million to carry out preliminary works on the Luangwa Bridge at South Luangwa National Park in Mambwe. Housing and Infrastructure Development Permanent Secretary, Danny Mfune, directed the Road Development Agency (RDA) to put up a coffer dam so that an assessment could be effectively made to establish the damage on bridge. Mr Mfune said once the coffer dam had been done, it would be easy for RDA to have space and access to the damaged pillar is found.

Mr Mfune said the total cost for the works on the bridge would only be established after an assessment by engineers from RDA. "This damage on the second pillar of the bridge resulted from the change of course of the river. The immediate intervention is to create the coffer dam before beginning the works on the bridge," he said. RDA director and chief executive officer George Manyele said his institution had mobilised machinery to for the preliminary works on the bridge Mr Manyele said the K1.9 million would be used for carrying

the initial works. "The amount is subject to change as the works progress, we are subjected to meet the parameters that will make the amount change due to the damage. "We have planned two sets of interventions, we want to channel the water from the river away from the damaged pillar in order to arrest further deterioration. The dredger on the river is helping to channel the water on the certain part of the river bed rather than the affected pillar. “The correction works are scheduled to commence after an assessment by a consultant engineer," he said.

Mambwe District Commissioner, Caroline Mwanza, appealed to RDA to work on the bridge because it was the only entrance into the South Luangwa National Park. Ms Mwanza said Mambwe district depended a lot on tourism and if the bridge is not worked on then the economy of the district as well as the country will be affected because tourists will not be visiting the national park. She said RDA must do the adequate works on the bridge because the people of Mambwe district depended on it to earn revenue. - ZANIS

Delimitation key to growth, says councillor By NOEL IYOMBWA ONE of the ways development can be delivered in all constituencies in the country is through delimitation, Chunga ward councillor Kangwa Kayola has said. Ms. Kayola said that it was difficult to reach out to everyone due to vastness of some constituencies hence some areas were

left out in terms of development. She cited Katuba constituency as one of the constituencies that needed to be demarcated so that everyone could benefits from share of development programmes. Ms Kayola noted that it would have been good if Bill 10 had gone through because it was going to facilitate easy for delimitation process. Meanwhile, Ms Kayola has

urged women in Katuba constituency to form cooperatives in order to benefit from different empowerment programmes which Government is offering. Ms Kayola said this when she handled over chicks and chicken feed to five women groups and one youth group. She stressed the need to empower women and youths in the country adding that women empowerment was vital in any

country’s economy. “It is important to empower women and youths financially and impacting knowledge. Today we are witnessing the handing over of feed and chicks to five women groups and one youth group as you are aware most youths have taken beer as their daily activity,” Ms Kayola said.

Shoprite dishes out 25 vehicles By SIMON MUNTEMBA SHOPRITE has given away 25 cars worth approximately US$ 700, 00 to the public through the ‘win-one-of-25 cars’ competition in Zambia as a way of celebrating its 25 years existence and operations in the country. The 25 Isuzu single cab light trucks were handed over to the winners at a colorful ceremony in Lusaka on Friday. Speaking during the handover ceremony, Shoprite general manager Charles Bota said the draw which started in August this year was meant to thank customers who bought various goods from the chain store. Mr Botha said in celebrating the 25-year milestone, Shoprite conducted various functions, competitions and donations to communities wherever the supermarket was located

as a way of showing their gratitude to customers because it was not easy for other businesses to operate during the Covid-19 pandemic. “As we celebrate our 25 years of trading in Zambia we celebrate being a good corporate citizen that touches the daily lives of people. We currently have a total of 39 stores, we employ a total of 5,300 workers across the country. "Our biggest stakeholders is our customers because without them, we would not have managed to have business,” he said. We have engaged over 600 suppliers and service providers of foods, non foods, agricultural produce as well as various services such as maintenance, logistics, cleaning and security," he said. He said it was Shoprite hope that the 25 vehicles that were won would help in improving the people’s lives.

‘REMOVE IMPORT DUTY ON CAPITAL EQUIPMENT’

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

HE 10 percent import duty on capital equipment should be revisited because it is negatively affecting the mining industry, says Michael Phiri, tax partner at KPMG Zambia. Mr Phiri said the major items of equipment used for sinking shafts and building plants were not manufactured locally, but were essential to developing mining projects. He told the Mining for Zambia Magazine that a good Customs Duty regime operated on the basis that the capital goods and equipment had a low import duty, or ideally, were duty-free. Mr Phiri stressed that semi-processed goods should FEATURE

attract a higher duty than capital equipment, while finished goods should attract the highest duties because neither of these categories supported local production. “The 10 percent import duty on capital equipment is another negative measure that really has to be revisited. “At the moment, the current duty regime is simply making it harder to develop projects that would stimulate production and economic activity which, again, is like shooting ourselves in the foot,” he said. He further said: “we understand the frustration from the Government, from the perspective that some mines have been posting losses for as long as they’ve been in existence, but that doesn’t justify punishing the whole industry

by taxing them twice over.” Economist, Noel Nkoma, said an unjust and inequitable tax regime basically rewarded wrongdoing, and punished those who would like to be compliant and transparent. Mr Nkoma stressed the need to understand whether Zambia was losing a substantial amount of money through tax avoidance and to find an amicable solution if it was true. This, he explained, required improved governance and regulatory capacity for full public transparency over mining revenues. He said hardening mining policy and increasing the tax burden is not the solution to this perceived problem. “[We need to have] an equitable, just, and fair fiscal and

tax regime which is able to unlock that future pipeline to create more jobs for our people, get more taxes into the treasury, and once again get the mining sector to thrive,” Mr Nkoma said.

MODALITIES to enhance cheaper funds under the current and future stimulus packages should be worked on immediately to support key economic sectors. This is according to the Zambia Chamber if Commerce and Industry (ZACCI) president, Chabuka Kawesha. He said modalities should be developed because of continued negative sentiments in the business environment characterised by poor liquidity. Dr Kawesha observed the need for Government in collaboration with key economic players to work on modalities of reducing the cost of accessing funds under the current and future stimulus package. He lamented that negative sentiments had continued because of poor liquidity in the economy affecting demand for goods and services, depreciation of the Kwacha and load shedding, among others. Dr Kawesha said this during a press briefing in Lusaka. “This will support industry across all levels large,

medium and small find some areas of comfort whilst effectively contributing to the tax base amidst and post Covid-19,” Dr Kawesha said. Government has since the onset of the Covid-19 put in place relief packages such as the K10billion Medium Term Refinancing Facility and the K8 billion Covid-19 Bond. Dr Kawesha said the Business Confidence Index (BCI) survey for both first and second quarters of this year revealed that businesses expected the overall performance of the economy to deteriorate. The BCI is the ZACCI proprietary tool that measures the level of confidence of business executives in the business environment and predicts short term business trends. The survey, Dr Kawesha said, revealed that COVID-19 outbreak had led to reduced demand for goods and services, delayed delivery of goods and services due closures of borders as well as closures of some businesses due to reduced cash flows. “Companies employed survival mechanisms such as laying off some workers, salary cuts, putting some workers on hold, diversifying business operations, proactive marketing and borrowing to sustain business operations.

DEADLY COST

…South Africans resort to using secondhand tyres at a potentially deadly cost JOHANNESBURG - Due to the economic knock the country has taken this year, more than two-thirds of South Africans are resorting to using second-hand tyres to save on motor vehicle costs. The consequences of saving financially now, however, could be detrimental and lifethreatening when on the road, particularly during the festive season. In 2019, it was reported that more than 60 percent of second-hand tyres sold in South Africa is illegal. It's fair to assume that this number has increased with the rising unemployment rate and increased financial strain on consumers, according to Arrive Alive. "That's a frightening thought when you consider that burst tyres are responsible for 73.5 percent of accidents caused by the mechanics of a car," says Darren Hayes-Powell, chairperson of the South African Tyre Manufacturers' Conference (SATMC). Every year there are more than 14, 000 deaths recorded due to road accidents. Fortyone percent of these road accidents can be attributed to the mechanics of a car, including tyres, according to the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC). A burst back-wheel tyre could cause the vehicle to "fishtail" as one loses control of the back of the car, whereas a front-tyre burst results in the car instantly steering in the direction of the burst tyre.

If driving at a fast speed, this could result in a serious and oftentimes fatal accident. To assist their customers during this challenging time, some motoring and insurance companies have granted payment holidays on monthly premiums to support the overall maintenance of their vehicles and other essentials. Second-hand tyres can be deadly Illegal second-hand tyres are dangerous and may lead to fatal accidents. It is essential to look after your vehicle’s tyres as they are considered the riskiest mechanical element of your car if not properly cared for. “Driving with unfit tyres can lead to road accidents due to negligence,” says HayesPowell. “Furthermore, you could incur major financial debt as your insurance company can refute claims should your tyres be considered secondhand or waste tyres. It’s one of the first things the assessor will check,” he says. It is also important to remember that criminal action can be taken against drivers or owners of vehicles with unroadworthy tyres. Developed countries like the UK and the United Arab Emirates urge consumers not to buy second-hand tyres due to the risk it poses. The UK is planning to introduce a law to prevent the use of old tyres, and the UAE has banned the sale of second-hand tyres since 2012. Closer to home, countries like Zambia and Tanzania are following suit. – NEWS24.

NAIROBI - Kenya’s efforts to achieve financial inclusion have been boosted by the entry of Nigeria’s Access Bank into the country, a move believed to help bridge the gap between the urban rich and the rural poor. This comes months after the lender acquired all 24 branches of Transnational Bank, which has a history of financing smallholder farmers in Kenya’s remote zones. The Kenyan Economic Report 2020 published by the Kenya Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA) estimates that 17 per cent of the rural populace in Kenya do not have access to formal financial services. The popularity of agent banking and mobile financial services in Kenya is one area that the Lagos-based lender

will be looking to boost as it gives more low income families access to financial services in the communities they live in. The Access Bank Group has over 41, 000 banking agents, and believes and remains optimistic to leverage its expertise in agent banking solutions to bank the unbanked and underbanked in Kenya. “Access Bank PLC’s business model mainly focuses on corporate and retail banking. Also, its strong Group support is expected to drive business growth for the benefit of the Kenyan economy and the banking sector.” Speaking in preparation of the launch of Access Bank Kenya, Herbert Wigwe emphasised that Access Bank will leverage its expertise to support the development of the country. - DAILY NATION, Kenya.

TREASURY DENIES THAT BUDGET CUTS WILL STIFLE GROWTH

OHANNESBURG - National Treasury has refuted claims that planned spending cuts announced in last week's medium-term budget are austerity measures that could hamper the recovery of an economy ravaged by the coronavirus pandemic. Proposals to reduce expenditure by about R300 billion over the next three fiscal years drew criticism from politically influential labour groups, civil society organisations and some opposition members of Parliament, who argue the country should spend its way out of the longest recession in almost three decades. That's despite a debt burden that has more than doubled over the last 10 years. South Africa's overall fiscal stance has been expansionary over the last decade, even as budget allocations to some departments and institutions may have been reduced, said Edgar Sishi, the acting head of the budget office. "If you were already increas-

ing debt over a 10-year period and you didn’t get economic growth from doing that, why will doing that over the next period cause economic growth to come?" Sishi said Friday in a presentation to Parliament's standing committee on finance. Reducing spending is critical to Finance Minister Tito Mboweni's plans to target a primary budget surplus in 2026 fiscal year, when debt is expected to peak at 95.3 percent of gross domestic product. Both these goals have been pushed out by two years. That shows the impact of ongoing discussions in the Treasury and with its partners about the potential steps and speed with which it should address the public debt burden, Sishi said. "We are, if we don't do anything, on a path to a sovereign debt crisis," he said. Recent Reserve Bank research shows South Africa's fiscal multiplier – a ratio used to measure changes in national income relative to government expenditure – fell to less than zero in

2019 from 1.6 a decade earlier, suggesting the economic benefits of higher public spending decreased, and may have been exhausted. Steps to narrow the budget gap and stabilise debt, along with structural reforms, are more likely to support growth than continued spending funded by higher borrowing and increased taxes, the Treasury said

Revamping ailing SOEs gets top priority from Cabinet HARARE – The Zimbabwean Government has deliberated extensively on ways to enhance the performance of State Owned Enterprises (SOEs) and a decision has been taken to establish an inter-ministerial committee to consider the matter. This was revealed by Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services Minister Monica Mutsvangwa while briefing journalists during the weekly post-Cabinet briefing in Harare. Notably, the Auditor-General’s 2017 report established that about 70 percent of state enterprises were technically insolvent after they incurred a combined US$270 million loss for the financial year ended 2016. Mutsvangwa said the deliberations covered a wide range of issues, as the Government seeks to drive the performance of State entities, key economic enablers, which have been a drag on the economy. She said the inter-ministerial committee will “consider the matter further and proffer concrete recommendations that take into consideration the structure, performance, accountability, and governance of state enterprises.” The interventions are part of Government’s reform agenda executed under the Transitional

Mutsvangwa

Stabilisation Programme (TSP) (2018-2020) to mobilise private sector capital, technology and expertise to enhance efficiency and performance of State entities. A total of 43 parastatals and State enterprises have been identified for privatisation, restructuring or dissolution under the new dispensation’s reform agenda, with significant progress having been made thus far. Zimbabwe has 107 Stateowned enterprises and para-

statals, which used to contribute 40 percent to the economy, but poor management, corruption and weak governance systems have seen them run down with contribution to the economy plummeting to an estimated two percent. In 2016 alone, about 38 of these firms ran cumulative losses of US$270 million, indicating poor management, weak corporate governance and deep-seated corruption in the public enterprises. And as part of government’s economic reform agenda, Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube announced a restructuring exercise for up to 47 state enterprises and parastatals in 2018 arguing it would improve efficiencies and reduce reliance on Treasury. According to Ncube’s plan, some of them will be partially privatised through the engagement of strategic partners and/ or listing on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, while others will be merged, fully privatised and/or even liquidated. Minister Ncube said the agenda of the reforms was not privatisation, but State enterprise reform. He said the programme was a ‘marathon’ and not an event and that Government will take its time. – THE HERALD, Zimbabwe.

in the medium-term budget. The past decade was the worst for South African economic growth, with total output expanding by 15.9 percent from the first quarter of 2010 to the final quarter of 2019, central bank data show. That compares with 18.9 percent and 16.7 percent in the 1980s and 1990s. – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

Development bank group lent $197bn in green finance in 2019, says report LONDON/BRUSSELS - The International Development Finance Club, a group of 26 national and regional development banks, said its members supplied $197 billion in green finance in 2019, representing a quarter of their total lending. While a 47 percent increase on 2018, the figure for 2019 remains below a high reached in 2017, the IDFC said in a report published on Friday. In total, $867 billion has been invested since 2015, when the Paris Agreement was struck to limit global warming. The role of state-backed lenders in driving the global response to climate change is increasingly under the spotlight given their deep pockets and ability to pave the way for increased private-sector investment by sharing risk. Their willingness to do more is set to be put to the test next week when the world’s 450 development banks meet for the first time in Paris, with a number expected to sign a joint commitment to accelerate their climate efforts. – BBC.

President Edgar Lungu

Dear Editor, ZAMBIANS, especially opposition political leaders should respect the ruling by the Constitutional Court on President Edgar Lungu's eligibility in the 2021 general elections. Leaders seeking political office must lead by example by respecting the courts of law. President Lungu is very eligible to stand in the 2021 general elections as ruled by the Constitutional Court. President Lungu cannot be said to have served a five-year term when he only served for less than two years following the death of President

Michael Sata. According to the constitution, a term is a period of five years and not two years. This matter of eligibility was already settled in the Constitutional Court before the president Judge Hildah Chibomba and Judges Anne Sitali, Mungeni Mulenga, Palan Mulonda, Enock Mulembe, Professor Margaret Munalula and Martin Musaluke. We therefore wish to appeal to President Lungu to avoid being swayed by the opposition who usually criticise and oppose out of hatred. IBRAHIM MWAMBA, National Students Mobilisation coordinator.

Beware of politicians in red

President Donald Trump

Dear Editor, RED colour has failed to win President Donald Trump a second term of office. He would have used Green. Reasons for his fall are simple: He was pompous, hated blacks, Arabs and other races apart from whites. He was not controlled. Weak nations suffered most (Venezuela, Iran, North Korea, Mexico, Congo DR etc). He was selfishness, a know it all, threatening everyone because he was a millionaire and put the world at a brink of war. His approach to global issues were not to negotiable

with others but intimidatory. In Zambia, we have some people who put the red regalia. They are like Trump, hating others, know it all, grabbing land from poor villagers, pretending to be kind, always threatening others, boastful because they are billionaires, can’t sit with others on the round table, intimidating on their members especially MPs who have now turned into his grandchildren because he can lock them up in his mansion, billionaires but with wealth from questionable sources, violent, insulting other tribes at public

rallies, use tribalism to become party presidents, can’t listen from others, Mano kuikwatila, use sugar-coated promises, never participate on national day of prayers (prayers not politics), No respect for other people's opinions e.g. on Bill 10, complain bitterly and rush to court when they lose elections, always sing songs of Nabanjibila ama vote etc. Red colour bane yamafya (dangers) pantu ilingi imininako danger. Just like Trump, these people will dance to the tune of 2021 General Elections music.

Over ambitious leaders a danger to PF Dear Editor, MISPLACED running mate ambitions being exhibited by some leaders within the Patriotic Front without considering the image and interest of the party and President Edgar Lungu will surely destroy our party by directly putting it in firing range from public ridicule. There is a saying that says "When brothers from the same kingdom keep fighting and killing each other it's the stranger that inherits their kingdom and all its wealth.” After failing to use investigating wings on specific leaders who are extremely hardworking, loyal, dedicated and very helpful to party structures and functionaries, the cat and mouse cheap political game has been

extended to the office of the Auditor General by certain leaders desperately seeking for the running mate position ahead of 2021. The office of the Auditor General failed to make public the list of ministers that appeared in i's report despite several calls and attempts made by the people of Zambia, the Church and civil societies yet it wants to look legit on Covid-19 issues. It's shocking how receipts from state functions leak to the public from the office of the Auditor General something that has not surprised me to see how it seems to be very comfortable with a renowned newspaper that never writes anything positive about the Patriotic Front

government under the leadership of President Lungu. These political manoeuvres by the office of the Auditor General are now giving political ammunition to the opposition making the PF and President Lungu prone to attacks. The earlier our leaders realise that leadership comes from God and not forcing themselves the better. I’m worried and concerned how certain leaders with misplaced running mate ambitions are destroying the image of the party in their quest to destroy the reputation and integrity of those they consider to be competitors or threats. It's sad that certain leaders have overrated themselves thinking they can make good

running mate candidates, blinding themselves to the extent they start wining and dining with toxic media tabloids specialised in publishing negative sentiments about PF. Why are we seeing screaming headlines in some toxic media tabloids that traditionally don't publish anything positive about the PF Government under the leadership of President Lungu. To me those cheap, political manoeuvres meant to ruin and destroy other leaders are targeted at specific individuals who happen to be hardworking, loyal, dedicated and very helpful to our PARTY PF structures and functionaries. MAXWELL CHONGU, PF Die Hard.

President John Pombe Magufuli

Zambia will go Magufuli way not Malawian way Dear editor, MALAWI has been swallowed in the bowels of imperialist’s agenda and their Malawian agents such as NGOs, some lawyers, fake civil societies bent on surviving on the heads of poor and some powerful clergymen. Very soon Malawi will be the third African nation after South Africa and Botswana to include gay rights in their constitution and fall into the devil's traps of regime change. The change that has not benefitted poor Malawians but regime change agents such as unprincipled lawyers, NGOs created by the enemy of Africa, arrogant civil societies, fake men of God in robes and AntChrist movements. Who are the chief beneficiaries of the political change which has taken place in Malawi? The answer is; Imperialists.

Unemployment is still going up in Malawi. One million jobs which were promised to the unemployed youths who mostly supported the change are nowhere to be found. Malawians in the streets are still suffering despite sugarcoated promises. I’m not laughing at the newly elected government in Malawi but the way imperialists want to use Africa for their own benefits especially on using educated Africans by giving them dollars but failing to see the bad traps of imperialists which are bent on destroying Africa and it's rich culture and rich natural resources. So brothers and sisters, change of governments in Africa spearheaded by imperialists won’t take us anywhere. Ubuchushi bwape.

Govt to electrify Kasamanda at cost of K2m MALAMBO Member of Parliament Makebi Zulu has assured health and education authorities in Kasamanda ward that Government will electrify the area once the secondary school under construction is completed. Mr Zulu, who is also Eastern Province Minister, said Zesco has already prepared a bill of K2 million for the electrification of Kasamanda rural health facility, the secondary school and other facilities needing electricity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a school that is being constructed as you can see. Once this school is completed, the rural health centre and Kasamanda School will also be connected,â&#x20AC;? he said. Mr Zulu was responding to concerns over lack of electricity raised by Kasamanda Rural Health Centre in-charge Judith Kamwandi and her counterpart Edwin Banda, who is Kasamanda Secondary School head teacher. The duo raised their concerns when they met the First Lady Esther Lungu in Kasamanda yesterday. Ms Lungu was in Kasamanda, accompanied by Mr Mukuni as she wrapped up her four-day engagement in outreach activities under the Esther Lungu Foundation Trust (ELFT). Ms Kamwandi reported that the health centre uses solar power, but the greatest challenge was the difficulty to conduct maternal services smoothly at times when solar energy becomes low At the same time, the Kasamanda School head teacher said the school had challenges to conduct computer lessons due to lack of adequate electricity. But Mr Zulu assured that government was on course to connect the health centre and school to the national power grid. Meanwhile the First Lady through the Esther Lungu Foundation Trust gave out K40, 000 to women groups in different wards of the district.

EOPLE in Mukuni Chiefdom should begin to work with the Government for easy delivery of meaningful development to the area, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Jean Kapata has said. Ms Kapata said that for a very long time, the people of Mukuni had been supporting the opposition yet they had been seeking development from the Government. The minister was speaking in Kazungula at the weekend when she addressed village headmen in Mukuni Chiefdom. She said that the ruling party was finding it difficult to work with the opposition UPND Member of Parliament (MP) Derrick Livune who represents the people of Mukuni because of his party’s attitude towards development. Ms Kapata challenged the people in Mukuni to realize that development coulf only be realized if they worked with the Government of the day. “I have heard all the challenges that you people of Mukuni are faced with and President Edgar Lungu has brought development to all corners of the country without leaving anyone behind “Here in Kazungula, you have an MP who is coming from an opposition party, who spends time speaking in English instead of talking about development for Kazungula,” she said. Ms Kapata said Government was determined to deliver development to all parts of the country, but indicated that sometimes efforts were frustrated by opposition MPs who did not want to cooperate with the ruling party. “But, they don’t want to work with us. The moment he goes to the Minister of Local Government, Minister of Education or even to my office, it means the party (UPND) will hold him or her accountable “You have been in the opposition in this constituency for a long time but I am asking you now as your traditional cousin, please give us a chance to win this constituency,” Ms Kapata pleaded. Earlier, Joseph Siachibuye the representative of Headman Kebeka village said that it was gratifying that finally, the people of Mukuni had been remembered by the ruling party. Mr Siachibuye who is also a pastor in Church of God, Zambia region said that since the PF formed Government in 2011, Ms Kapata was the first Minister to visit the area.

UTHORITIES at Loloma Mission Hospital in Manyinga have bemoaned the increase in vandalism and encroachment on the only airstrip. Loloma Mission Hospital missionary-in-charge, Timothy Beer, said that the airstrip had been encroached upon despite being of great importance to the district. He said the airstrip was

ILLEGAL SETTLERS ENCROACH MANYINGA AIRSTRIP meant to provide specialised and efficient health care service delivery including air transport during evacuation of seriously ill patients as well as bringing in of specialist health personnel including doctors. "The situation is now getting out of hand because as hospital management, for the past 13 years we have tried to

engage stakeholders on the importance of the facility, but vandalism and encroachments have continued," he said. Mr Beer stated that people should be responsible enough and take ownership of the airstrip because it was not only constructed to cater for the missionaries but for the entire community too.

"A lot of money is being spent on renovating the facility, and we are spending between K20,000 to K70,000 per month. Which is very unfortunately," he said. Mr Beer was speaking during a stakeholders’ meeting organised by the district administration aimed at addressing land encroachments.

During the same meeting, it was learnt that encroachments had extended to land which accommodates water service lines, the airstrip, as well as some proposed township roads. Manyinga Town Council Secretary, Kate Mukonde, said that her office had received several complaints concerning

encroachment and vandalism of public property. Meanwhile, Manyinga District Commissioner Godfrey Malayiti instructed both state and council police officers to intensify patrols on affected areas. "Going forward, we need to ensure that such important matters are brought to the attention of relevant authorities on time so that they are quickly addressed,” he said.

Baby hacked to death By JACKSPON MAPAPAYI A TWO-YEAR-OLD baby girl of Kafumukache Village in Kalumbila, has been killed in cold blood by her cousin. North-Western Province Commissioner of Police, Elias Chushi, confirmed the incident which happened on Friday around 15:00 hours and identified the deceased as Loveness Kabobo. Mr Chushi identified the suspect as Gideon Mubemba aged 23, who is believed to be mentally deranged. He hit the girl on the head using an axe handle. He explained that some family members tried to rescue the child but in the process, another person was also hacked and sustained an injury. “People managed to grab the child, who sustained a deep injury and was later rushed to Solwezi General Hospital where she was admitted but died later,” he said. Mr Chushi said that the suspect had been apprehended while the body of the girl was in Solwezi hospital mortuary awaiting a postmortem.

Liquor traders cautioned

I will remain focused - Malanji

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

By ROGERS KALERO

AR and nightclub owners should adhere to regulations pertaining to their operations in order to protect society and citizens at large, Ndola Deputy Mayor Kennedy Kasaba has advised Mr Kasaba said liquor traders must follow provisions of the Liquor Licensing Act, Statutory Instrument (SI) No. 51 of 2020 as well as the COVID 19 guidelines. The Liquor Licensing Act and the SI 51 of 2020 forbid the sale of alcohol to people under

Mr Kasaba

the age of 18 and guides on the number of hours alcohol could be sold at the various types of premises. Mr Kasaba said this at the Liquor compliance training workshop attended by bar and night club operators in Ndola at the weekend. ‘’I know most of you may feel like this information has been availed to you before, when the council gave you various liquor trading licenses. “But I must assure you that, having more information of the laws and regulations governing your operations can save you from penalties or total revocation of licences,'' he said. The Ndola City Council last month signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Zambian Breweries on the Responsible Alcohol Consumption and Harm Reduction Initiative (SMART drinking) Programme. The Council working with Zambian Breweries would be implementing awareness programmes to increase responsible drinking among patrons as well as increase bar and nightclub owners’ compliance with regulatory frameworks. Mr Kasaba said some nightclub and bar owners had been

working positively with the local authority by following the different guidelines with regards to operations especially during the COVID 19 era. Mr Kasaba was, however, sad that guidelines on noise pollution and underage patrons were still being abrogated. He said it was discouraging to see stakeholders that were trying to positively contribute to the development of the country being penalised for non-adherence of various laws. Mr Kasaba called on more stakeholders to come forward to help push the agenda on responsible drinking. He said responsible drinking habits translated into a relaxed, rejuvenated and productive society which was key ingredient to creativity and innovation. Zambian Breweries legal Counsel Deborah Bwalya said the Deputy Mayor's presence at the workshop signified the strong commitment that the local authority placed on the subject of liquor licences compliance and responsible drinking. Ms Bwalya said that the most important part was to have the conversation of SMART drinking active for sustained behavioral change to be achieved.

I WILl remain focused and continue working towards fulfilling my campaign promises ahead of next year's election, Kwacha Member of Parliament Joe Malanji has said Mr Malanji said he would continue to serve various communities even in the face of propaganda and lies from different quarters including opposition parties.

Ex Masaiti MP ditches UPND By SANFROSSA MANYINDA FORMER Kafulafuta UPND Member of Parliament Brian Chitafu has resigned from the opposition party to join the ruling Patriotic Front (PF). Mr Chitafu said there was no way a person could ignore the development agenda taking place across the country under the PF. He said he was shocked that

people could doubt the development agenda of President Edgar Lungu’s Government. "Today, I have come to join the family of development. There is no way I can ignore the development agenda of the PF and President Edgar Lungu," he said. Mr Chitafu was received by PF Copperbelt chairman Nathan Chanda, Masaiti MP Micheal Katambo and other PF senior members.

lies and propaganda of those disgruntled elements who think they are more intelligent than anyone else, but I will remain focused to deliver my campaign promises. I am actually planning big for my constituency," Mr Malanji said. Mr Malanji advised residents in his constituency not to pay attention to political rhetoric from some opposition political leaders because they were ‘heartless’ human beings. Mr Chanda directed the district chairman for Masaiti to give positions to the new members and form more branches. "In PF we are all one. There is nothing like this one is new or old , this one is from this tribe or this part of the country. We do not do that," he said. At the same occasion, Copperbelt PF Chairlady Rose Mukupo advised the defectors to be truthful when joining the party. She said it was good that people voluntarily decided to join the ruling party at will.

OR a long time, I have heard motorists complain of their automatic gear boxes citing different types of challenges from strange noise in the gear box to difficulties in gears shifting among others. This can be due to a number of reasons ranging from poor service and maintenance, congestion on roads and oil type. To help motorists, auto shop traders and other interested parties, I have decided to dedicate this weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s article to automatic transmission oil which is also called Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). The gear box is one of the most sensitive components of a motor vehicle. Therefore, taking good care of it is paramount. ATF is a fluid which is used in vehicles with self-shifting or automatic transmissions. It is typically coloured red in order to distinguish it from other oils. This oil is highly specialised and optimised for special requirements of a particular transmission system.

Universal automatic transmission oil

Different transmission system manufacturers require different frictional characteristics. This implies the use of different friction materials and rubber components with which the fluid must be completely compatible. The logic conclusion from the above statement is that there is no such a thing as universal automatic transmission oil across different types of gearboxes. Different transmission system manufacturers require different frictional characteristics. This implies the use of different friction materials and rubber components with which the fluid must be completely compatible. The logic conclusion from the above statement is that there is no such a thing as universal automatic transmission oil across different types of gearboxes. To put it in clear terms, you cannot casually shop for any ATF without knowledge of a recommendation from the vehicle manufacturer. In the event that you have no access to a manual, it is advisable that you concentrate your procurement of ATF from known oil companies or known brands.

SUB-STANDARD AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OIL -ATF How it can damage your automatic gearbox

The advantage of doing this is that you can easily access technical people who can advise you of what grade and type to use and who to call on should things go wrong. Currently, the challenge is that there is an influx of little known foreign brands often fetching very cheap. I have consistently stated that when it comes to oil, cheap is not always cheap. There are specific things that are done at blending stage to make some oil very cheap. Everything may appear to be fine for a moment but harvest time will surely come. In an attempt to make some savings, most motorists have suffered untold misery by falling prey to the cheap equa-

tion. It is important for you to ask your mechanic where he gets the oil from and which brands he buys. If you cannot trust, its better you buy all the oil and take to him. Like any other special oil, ATF has certain special chemicals added to it in order to make it perform optimally. These chemicals include friction modifiers. A friction modifier is a chemical added to lubricants to reduce the surface friction of the lubricated parts. In the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, ATF contained whale oil as a friction modifier. But the set back was that it would easily break down at higher temperature and pressure. Further, a moratorium on whale oil also complicated things thereby push-

ing the limits of other options. Other additives to ATF are

Other additives to ATF are anti-oxidants, anti-rust, antiwear, cold flow improvers and detergents just to mention but a few. All these additives are very important for a consistent, reliable, smooth and trouble free operation of an automatic gear box. anti-oxidants, anti-rust, anti-wear, cold flow improvers and detergents just to mention but a few.

All these additives are very important for a consistent, reliable, smooth and trouble free operation of an automatic gear box. Substandard ATF does not contain critical additives. Additives are chemicals which are added to oil in order to introduce new properties, enhance existing good properties or to suppress unwanted properties. Unfortunately, you cannot tell by looking if ATF includes all these additives. Just because the oil is red, it does not mean it is the correct ATF for your vehicle. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it is important to deal with familiar brands which have brand equity to protect. ATF creates a lot of internal heat through friction: the friction of the fluid

churning inside the torque converter, friction created when the clutch plates engage and other friction from engaging gears and bearings. It does not take long for ATF to heat up once the vehicle is in motion. At elevated temperatures, the oil can get oxidized. If it does, it becomes thick and brown. The oil loses its lubricity properties and varnish begins to form on the internal parts. The transmission begins to slip leading to more over heating. Soon, a chain of events begins to interfere with the proper functioning of the gear box. Gear shifting may become hampered and some uncommon noise from the gear box may be heard. My strong suspicion is that some little known brands coming from Asia may have very little or no anti-oxidant additive at all. This makes the oil very vulnerable to degradation at higher temperatures. This in turn puts the automatic gear box at risk. For your own information, an automatic gear box is complex and expensive to over haul once damaged. Most of the automatic gear box troubles start from overheating under heavy loads such as over loading, towing a heavy trailer, having continuous stop and go in heavy traffic jams in hot weather, racing, insufficient ATF in the system, inferior ATF, poor servicing of the transmission systems, harsh driving and problems in the vehicle cooling system can all contribute to above normal heat build-up. If the oil is poor grade, it will not protect your automatic gear box. It will not provide consistent, reliable, smooth and trouble free operation of the automobile automatic gear box. Stay away from inferior ATF and ensure to use the correct type of ATF for your vehicle. It is not every ATF which is suitable for your vehicle just because it is red in colour.

NEWS OF THE WORLD

DDIS ABABA Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed sacked his army chief, head of intelligence and foreign minister yesterday, as the military continued a five-day old offensive in the restive Tigray region with a new round of air strikes. Abiy’s office announced the changes on its Twitter feed, giving no reasons for the changes.

Saving A Bit And Making Big Things Happen Beyond World Savings Day knowledge of money and its importance in our lives and to understand own our values regarding Money management. More importantly, it requires us to fully understand who we are and what we consider important in our lives. You will discover that whichever way we look at this, the money will play a role in helping us to achieve whatever we hold important because it is essential in our lives.

Dear Reader, We trust that you are well and that you and your loved ones are still adhering to the Covid-19 health guidelines shared by the Ministry of Health. Please continue to do so because the pandemic is still ‘alive’ despite cases generally going down. The 2020 World Savings day was recently commemorated under the theme, ‘When You Save A Bit, Big Things happen’. During the last fortnight, we shared stories about World Savings Day detailing its origin, why it is celebrated and the 2020 theme. We also highlighted what we ought to do in order to be able to Save so that we make it our lifestyle and improve the quality of our life and that of our loved ones. This week dear Reader, we thought it wise to speak of behaviours that can help us to Save during festive periods. Months December and January ‘are’ fast approaching, in no time we will be celebrating Christmas and New Year! These are times when we spoil our loved ones with gifts to show appreciation for their presence in our lives and for making our lives meaningful. The lesson here is that we must always spend within our means and ensure that we aim to Save a little!

Financial Education - Foundation For Being Money Smart Knowledge is indeed, power! It goes without saying therefore that we need to learn as much as we can about money and it’s importance in our lives not only for our own benefit but that of our children/loved ones as well. With financial knowledge, we elevate ourselves to being individuals capable of making rewarding money management choices. With correct information about money, we arm ourselves against so many scams that are money-related. So let us begin to learn, learn and learn about money. Let us cascade these learnings to our children too. Please be sure to totally understand any investment plans before you commit any money into it. When in doubt, please consult with experts. Clearly understand what is suitable for your situation and when in doubt, please do not go ahead. Being Money Smart – Get Way To Wealth Creation Your ultimate goal in being Money Start is to create a better life for you and your loved ones through wealth creation. When you are financially literate and Money Smart, chances are very high that you will make smart choices in all aspects of financial planning. You will know what is good and bad for you regarding the money decisions that you make. Over time, you will realise that you gained more wealth because you made the right decisions.

This year’s World Savings Day theme is a relevant and critical reminder of what we should be doing at any time, Saving a bit at all times even when temptations to spend are extremely high. This behaviour is key in helping us to cement our own pathways regarding Money management.

Beyond Financial Benefits – Your Health Matters! Are there times that you have had to stress about money to the point of literally feeling ill? Worrying and stressing about money can be very detrimental to one’s health, mentally and physically. Such worries can lead to vices such as alcoholism which can affect the wellbeing of families. In extreme cases, worrying about money all the time can even lead to depression. Be wise, avoid money troubles so that you keep healthier in the long run.

This week, we remind you about the importance of being grounded and sticking to your plans when faced with the temptation to spend when you shouldn’t. Achieving this requires a lot of discipline and perseverance. It requires us to have a very good

Back To Basics – Savings And Financial Security Are Key Being Money Smart is knowing that you can only get to create wealth through Saving. This will lead you to secure your future so that you are able to live a quality life even when you have retired,

Birhanu Jula was promoted to army chief of staff, from deputy army chief. Abiy also named Temesgen Tiruneh, who was president of the Amhara region, as the new intelligence chief. – REUTERS.

or you are not able to generate income (salary or otherwise) due to unforeseen circumstances. So please remember to plan for your retirement wealth as you Save. Getting disciplined about Saving sets you on this path, nothing else will. Saving is ‘the’ sure provider of a financial ‘backstop’ for life’s unthinkable or uncertainties, it enhances feelings of security and peace of mind. Once you have grown your Savings, you create ‘seed money’ for higher-yielding investments. Nothing beats attaining this. Saving accords you the freedom to live life on your own terms. In concluding today’s story, we leave you with the following TIPS that will help you to be disciplined with your money irrespective of the period. You have to cement your values regarding Money to an extent where nothing should distract you. The Festive period and special occasions like birthdays/ anniversaries/graduations are tempting times to overspend – the lesson is that by all means spend but only if you budgeted to do so. Here again, are key Tips that can help and keep you grounded with your Saving ethic during tempting situations and times: •

Understand your money ‘DNA’; how you perceive money vis a vis how it aligns to/with your life values will guide you in this.

•

Once you figure out your money ‘DNA’, get organised and do it quickly.

•

Understand and know where your money goes, keep track of all your expenditure no matter how small and begin to budget consistently.

•

Plan and make specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound saving/investment goals.

•

Always remember to be selfish when you get your income, pay yourself first (remember the 50 20 30 rule!), think of the 20 that you are supposed to save as the first bill that you need to pay. Over time, you will be proud and smiling at how you will have grown your Savings.

•

Spend smarter, don’t live outside your means, you can’t spend more than you make. Living outside your means simply means that your expenses exceed your income. Should this happen, you have three options to come out of this trap; increase income, reduce your expenses or do both. The choice is yours.

•

When in debt, continuously work at reducing it.

•

Save, Save and Save!

Until next week, we wish you success in your Saving journey. May it benefit you and your loved ones. Think about how you can enhance your Savings during the upcoming festive period. Stay blessed and clear of Covid -19 and be a blessing to others at all times! For comments or questions email maria.karima@investrustbank.co.zm

Joe Biden vows to ‘unify’ country in victory speech WASHINGTON - Joe Biden has said it is “time to heal” the US in his first speech as president-elect, vowing “not to divide but to unify” the country. “Let’s give each other a chance,” he said at an event in Delaware addressing those who did not vote for him. Biden defeated incumbent President Donald Trump following a cliff-hanger vote count after Tuesday’s election. Trump has yet to concede and has not spoken publicly since his defeat was announced while he was playing golf. The result makes Trump the first one-term president since the 1990s. His campaign has filed a barrage of lawsuits in various states

but election officials say there is no evidence that the vote was rigged against him, as he has claimed. Spontaneous celebrations erupted in major cities after media outlets announced Biden’s victory on Saturday. Disappointed Trump supporters demonstrated in some cities but there were no reports of incidents. Biden: ‘We have to stop treating our opponents as enemies’ Addressing cheering supporters in a car park in his hometown of Wilmington, Biden said: “I pledge to be a president who seeks not to divide, but to unify; who doesn’t see red states and blue states, only sees the United States.” Biden - who has won more than 74 million votes so far, the most ever for a US presidential candidate hailed the “diverse” support he gathered during the campaign, and thanked African-American voters in particular. But he also reached out to Trump supporters directly. “It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again,” Biden said, without mentioning his rival in the election. “And to make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as enemies.” – BBC.

BRIEFS Nigeria’s central bank freezes accounts of police brutality protesters ABUJA - Nigeria’s central bank froze the accounts of 20 people linked with anti-police brutality protests after receiving a court order, the regulator said. Many of those affected were prominent during Nigerian protests last month known as #EndSARS, one of the country’s biggest social upheavals in 20 years, which attracted global attention as thousands of people campaigned for an end to police brutality. – BBC.

Egypt holds second stage of parliament election

CAIRO - Egyptians began voting on Saturday in the second phase of a parliamentary election in which supporters of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are expected to win.

WTO cancels meeting aimed at breaking leadership impasse

GENEVA - The World Trade Organisation has cancelled a meeting scheduled for today to decide on the appointment of Nigeria’s Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala as the body’s next director general after the United States rejected her as a candidate. Trade sources said they thought a factor in the delay was that there had been no indication the Trump administration - which will continue to govern trade policy in the weeks ahead - had switched its support to Okonjo-Iweala. – REUTERS.

Myanmar’s Suu Kyi favoured to win as election gets underway

YANGON - Myanmar voted in a general election yesterday seen as a referendum on a fledgling democratic government that remains popular at home but which has seen its reputation collapse overseas amid allegations of genocide. Leader Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) is expected to win a second term, following a 2015 landslide that ended more than a half-century of military and military-backed rule. – REUTERS.

SUB MESSI LEADS BARCA TO VICTORY HALF-TIME substitute Lionel Messi turned the game around for Barcelona as they beat Real Betis for a first La Liga win in five games. Ousmane Dembele gave Barca the lead with a powerful effort and Antoine Griezmann had a penalty saved. Antonio Sanabria smashed home an equaliser just before half-time. But Messi came on at the break and had a hand in Griezmann’s equaliser and scored twice himself before teenager Pedri hit a late fifth.

Messi

The Barca captain dummied Alba’s pass, taking two defenders and goalkeeper Claudio Bravo out of the equation, to leave Griezmann with a tap-in. He then put Barca ahead from the penalty spot after Aissa Mandi was sent off for handling Dembele’s shot on the line - a decision made after a lengthy video assistant referee review. Messi played a one-two with Sergi Roberto, who backheeled the ball into his path and he smashed it into the roof

of the net. That was his first goal of the season for club or country which was not a penalty. The previous six had all been from the spot. He thought he had a hat-trick afterwards but his goal was disallowed for a Roberto offside. It was a much needed win for Ronald Koeman, whose side had only picked up two points from the previous four league games. They move up to eighth, one point behind Real Betis. – BBC.

ZANACO ‘EVADE’ ARREST

From page 20

Nkwazi's Stephen Mutama almost broke the deadlock in the seventh minute but his effort on goal went over the bar. With 15 minutes into the first half, Zanaco coach Chris Kaunda withdrew injured Chisamba Lungu for Siankombo as midfielder Langson Mbewe finally put Nkwazi ahead with a long range effort four minutes before the half hour mark. Zanaco's chance to get the equaliser came in the 37th minute but it was unfortunate as Albert Kangwanda's weak shot went wide as the first half ended 1-0 in favour of visiting Nkwazi. In the second half, Pride Mwansa could have doubled Nkwazi's lead in the 58th minute but his long range shot was saved by Zanaco shot stopper Racha Kola. As Zanaco failed to get the equaliser, Kaunda brought in Baba Basile and Nyimbili

for misfiring Kangwanda and Kamanga respectively while Nkwazi coach Dennis Makinka introduced Davy Kalandanya for Erick Chomba. As the game reached injury time defender Belchance Makiese's attempt on target took a slight deflection as the bankers won a corner. With a minute before the final whistle, Siankombo restored parity as the two teams shared the spoils. Meanwhile in the first fixture of the double header at the same venue, Green Eagles scored a late equaliser to draw 1-1 with Green Buffaloes. Hosea Silwimba scored in the 90th minute to cancel Jack Chirwa's goal from a penalty in the 58th minute. The stalemate propelled Eagles to seven points on par with Forest Rangers and Red Arrows who have also recorded two wins and one draw after three rounds of matches in the FAZ Super Division.

Copper Queens plot Malawi’s fall

From page 20

And Copper Queens' goalkeeper Hazel Nali has promised Zambians a win with another clean sheet at the regional championship. “So far so good we are playing as a team and everything has been done by the coaches. “My personal target is to always keep a clean sheet and I’m focused and looking forward to the game against Malawi. We will work as a team and fight hard to give Zambians a win,” Nali said. A win over Malawi will propel Zambia to the semi finals of the regional competition while a defeat will dump Zambia out though they would still have a chance to qualify as the best losers.

Let fans in, Health ministry prodded

From page 20

However Makembo believes soccer fans will play a critical role to help the Chipolopolo deliver victory when they host Botswana at the National Heroes Stadium in Lusaka hence the need for the Ministry of Health to allow fans cheer the Chipolopolo who are yet to win a game in the qualifiers. Makembo said apart from motivzating players, soccer fans help the national team and Super Division clubs raise resources for their operations. Makembo has urged FAZ not to give up engaging the health authorities until they give a signal for fans to be able to give the Chipolopolo the needed support and help clubs raise resources. “The association should make a follow up after the ten days given by the Ministry of Sports for fans to return elapsed. “The National Heroes

Stadium is very big and can allow fans while following the health guidelines that is why we are appealing to the Ministry of Health to give us a signal because we really want to be present to motivate the boys to deliver victory because the games against Botswana are crucial games which require nothing but a win,” Makembo said. And soccer analyst Tandika Chirwa has called on the Ministry of Health to ensure that Covid-19 restrictions are applied equally. Chirwa said it is unfair that politicians and musicians are allowed to hold mass gatherings while soccer fans are hindered from watching and helping their teams raise funds for their operations. Chirwa said like many Super Division clubs playing games behind closed doors and are missing out on revenue, the Chipolopolo will miss out on a lot of revenue which helps with operational costs.

…Late equaliser denies police outfit Nkwazi victory By MICHAEL MIYOBA

SUPER sub Abraham Siankombo scored in injury time to rescue Zanaco from suffering a second consecutive defeat after they were held to a 1-1 draw by high flying Nkwazi in a week three Super Division match at Sunset Stadium.

Siankombo had cancelled out Lungson Mbewe's 236th minute goal which had given Nkwazi the lead in the first half. The bankers who seemed to be unstable in both halves could have been the first to break the deadlock in the second minute when Moses Phiri missed a one on one chance as he sent his effort over the bar.

Copper Queens plot Malawi’s fall

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

ZAMBIA national women’s team coach Bruce Mwape says the Copper Queens will fight to beet Malawi to reach the semifinals of the 2020 COSAFA Senior Women’s Championship in South Africa. Mwape said the game against Malawi is a must win for the Copper Queens whose target is to win the Cosafa Championship after finishing as runner up during the 2019 edition. He said morale in camp was high with the girls looking forward to face Malawi after training sections following the 8-0 thumping of Lesotho in the first Group B game. “This one is a must win we don’t want to draw because they have an advantage of one goal against us so for us to qualify to the semifinals we need a win so we will try by all means to play an attacking game,” Mwape said. “We want to go as far as the finals and like I said the Cosafa games are part of our preparations for the Olympic Games so we would want to play all the games up to the end.” He said the girls the Copper Queens are not intimidated facing Malawi who beat Lesotho 9-0 to set up a cracking tie against Zambia. “The Malawian team played well against Lesotho although they were banking on one player who scored six goals the other three goals were shared it only shows they were banking on one player for them to win games but looking at their performance the game against them will be a 50/50 affair,” Mwape said.

Makembo

ZAMBIA Sports Fans Association (ZASPOFA) patron Peter Makembo has called on the Ministry of Health to allow soccer fans at stadia to provide the support needed for Zambia to have a chance of beating Botswana in the crucial 2022 AFCON qualifiers. Zambia will play host to Botswana on Thursday before traveling to Botwsana for the return leg fixture slated for Francis Town Sports Complex on Sunday. Makembo believes a home win against Botswana will motivate the Chipolopolo to believe they can qualify for the prestigious continental championship to be held in Cameroon. (To page 19)
