PEACEFUL CO-EXISTENCE

AS the country gets closer to the campaign period for next year’s general elections, political players must espouse levelheadedness and objectivity in their conduct and public discourse.

Many a time, politicians, civil society organisations and the general citizenry get highly charged during campaigns.

It is, however, the politicians who must set a sober and healing tone so that the political landscape remains violence free.

In fact, this is the opportune time for politicians and stakeholders to take introspection and thereafter plan peaceful strategies for the 2021 election campaigns.

They should get to the drawing board and plan issue-based campaigns, this time around, because the electorate is fatigued with political violence and rhetoric.

For once, politicians both in the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) and in the opposition must only proclaim that which is realistic as opposed to promising “Heaven on earth.”

Political parties ought to retrieve their party manifestos from their shelves and expound issues therein so that voters have a clear opportunity to choose a party with a realistic vision.

Foul language and violence are not the best political strategies, hence the urgent need to consign them to the political trash can.

As a sure panacea to political violence, political parties must disband their security wings, whose members are often the instruments of violence.

Most of the time, the offensive weapons are retrieved from vehicles used by the security wings which are formed under the guise of providing protection when in fact they are used for bludgeoning opponents.

We, therefore, concur with Deputy Inspector-Generalof Police, Bonny Kapeso, that cadres must give chance to police officers to conduct their work without interference.

Mr Kapeso feels that political cadres have been conducting themselves in a manner that make law enforcement officers’ work very difficult.

Often, cadres become an encumbrance and are seen during political gatherings attempting to provoke police officers.

Quite frankly, cadres from opposition political parties believe that police officers apply the law selectively.

This is the source of conflict between police and opposition cadres.

In fact, UPND during Wednesday’s meeting with Mr Kapeso came out strongly, accusing police of favouring the ruling party and being high-handed against opposition members.

Thus the meeting has provided a starting point to thrash out sticky issues, especially in as far as conducting public meetings is concerned.

Such meetings must continue to reduce tension between police and political parties.

However, there will be need for parties from both sides of the political divide to get to the round-table and discuss matters that usually lead to violence.

There is absolutely no need for political cadres to maim each other during campaigns or each time they meet.

Clearly, the 2021 general elections are a make or break contest for some political parties, hence the imperative need for political parties to meet and denounce violence.

They should not only denounce violence, but identify causes and also seek remedial measures.

Many times, political rivalries have met and denounced violence, but resort to physical confrontations immediately they get into the campaign field.

For once, political nemesis must not apply the “panga-for-panga” formula but adopt humane and civil ways of resolving differences.

Elections are not an end in themselves neither are they a “do or die” affair but an ordinary democratic process to choose leaders.

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

EALTH Minister Chitalu Chilufya did not commit any crime by acquiring properties he is alleged to have acquired corruptly, a state witness yesterday told the Lusaka Magistrate’s court.

Testifying for the second day, ACC investigator Chipampe Manda, told the court that the total income for Chilufya from his legitimate earnings were more than the assets he is accused of having obtained corruptly.

Mr Manda was testifying before Chief Resident Magistrate Lameck Mwale in a case in which Chilufya is facing four counts of having property suspected to be proceeds of crime.

He also told the court that Chilufya obtained a K15 million loan from the Development Bank of Zambia and K2 million from the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC).

CHILUFYA DID NOT COMMIT ANY CRIME – ACC OFFICER

Dr Chilufya

Mr Manda also said he did not have any evidence that Chilufya had the money mentioned in the indictment.

He said he did have evidence that Chilufya had the K3 million used to buy Sparks Guest House from Mansa Batteries and $200, 000 used to buy 6, 000 shares in Samfya Marines and Tourism Services Zambia Limited from Den Daas Investments Limited.

He also agreed with defence lawyers that there was no evidence that Chilufya had US$52, 000 which was alleged to have been used to buy a passenger boat from Dubai.

Mr Manda said after analysing Chilufya’s source of income, he came to a

Lies irk ZRA chief … threatens to spill the beans on cheating mines

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has threatened to expose cheating mining firms over claims that Government owed the industry US$1 billion (equivalent to K18 billion) in unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT).

ZRA Commissioner-General, Kingsley Chanda said that mining firms were the ones owing Government and that the ZRA remained silent because it was bound by tax payer confidentiality.

He was speaking in Kitwe yesterday.

Mr Chanda said that the ZRA did not discuss individual taxpayer accounts to the public but was ready to disclose everything if false statements continue.

“I have asked the director of mines to write to the Chamber of Mines to confirm if the statement was sanctioned by mining firms, and if it turns out to be true, we will have no choice but to tell the public the truth,” said Mr Chanda.

Daily Nation investigations revealed that the mining industry owed Government in

Be professional, nonpartisan, Speaker tells LAZ

By NATION REPORTER THE Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) should continue being professional and nonpartisan, Speaker of the National Assembly, Patrick Matibini has said.

Dr Matibini commended LAZ for its renewed commitment in working with the National Assembly on matters of governance.

Dr Matibini said critical governancerelated matters ought to be resolved through engagement, as opposed to initiating legal actions as a first resort.

He was speaking when the newly elected LAZ president, Abyudi Shonga paid a courtesy call on him on Wednesday, “The institution should be professional and focused on its statutory mandate and mission. And ensure that it transacts its business in an apolitical manner or fashion,” he said.

And Mr Shonga pledged to cooperate and interface with the National Assembly.

excess of K19.68bn in unpaid tax revenue.

Mr Chanda said the Chamber of Mines must state the truth instead of issuing statements which could discourage investment in the country.

He insisted that the statement by ZCM that Government owed mining firms in taxes was not factual but was meant to destabilise the economy of the country.

Mr Chanda said that it was such alarming statements that would harm the country’s economy, hence should be avoided at all costs.

In a document titled “A policy brief for a post Covid-19 Zambian Economy: The road to Recovery, the Chamber of Mines claimed that the government through the ZRA owed the mining industry in excess of US$1bn in unpaid VAT refunds.

The chamber insists that Government owed the industry US$1bn (equivalent to K18bn) in unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT).

But Mr Chanda challenged the chamber to be factual and not spread myths whenever it decided to communicate about confidential matters to the public.

conclusion that his earnings were more than the total value of properties he is accused of obtaining illegally.

Mr Manda told the court that Chilufya’s company, Henry Courtyard Hotel, obtained the DBZ loan way back before he was accused of owning properties suspected to be proceeds of crime.

He said he had access to Chilufya and Henry Courtyard bank accounts held with Zanaco, Cavmont Mansa branch, Atlas Mara, and Indo Bank.

Mr Manda said during the investigation, Chilufya cooperated well and that there no suspicion that he was hiding anything.

Trial continues today.

Deliver, Lungu prods provincial ministers

By AARON CHIYANZO PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has directed provincial ministers not to relent as they strive to improve the welfare of the people because his desire is to see development in all regions.

President Lungu said the Covid-19 pandemic must not derail Government’s development agenda and urged the ministers not to take their feet off the pedal.

Mr Lungu was speaking yesterday at State House when he received regional cluster reports from provincial ministers.

“You all know that, as Government, we are more than ever before called upon to improve the welfare of our people and to ensure equitable development across our country,” he said.

The President urged all ministries, government departments and agencies to ensure they enforce measures put in place to safeguard people’s health and lives.

‘Probe K800m gambling scam’

By PETER SICHALI

REVELATIONS that Zambia is losing millions of Kwacha through illegal gambling and betting proves that there is deep rooted corruption at the Lotteries Board which is responsible for regulating the industry, Zambian Youths Association in the fight against Corruption has said.

The association’s Executive Director, Mr Maurice Malambo said it was sad that the country could be losing the much needed resources and called for an investigation into the matter.

He said the revelation was a clear indication the board responsible for regulating the industry was corrupt.

Mr Malambo urged the AntiCorruption Commission (ACC) to ensure that the matter was investigated thoroughly.

“Revelation that the country is losing about K800 million in illegal

gambling makes sad reading and is a clear indication that there is corruption in the regulation of this industry,” Mr Malambo said.

He said it was surprising that the country could lose such huge sums of money when it had a functional regulatory body in place.

Mr Malambo said stakeholders should audit the legal framework on laws regulating the industry.

He said some laws that guide operations of the casino industry were outdated and had loopholes for corrupt practices.

“We feel the laws that guide the operations of casinos were outdated because in other parts of the world, financial-related crimes are the most difficult,” he said.

Mr Malambo said the Zambia Revenue Authority, Zambia Tourism Board and the Ministry of Finance should cooperate and seal loopholes to bring to an end illegal gambling, betting and money laundering.

CAVMONT CAPITAL HOLDINGS PLC [Incorporated in the Republic of Zambia] Company registration number: 41902 Share Code: CCHZ ISIN: ZM0000000227 [“Cavmont” or “the Company”]

CAVMONT CAPITAL HOLDINGS PLC [Incorporated in the Republic of Zambia] Company registration number: 41902 Share Code: CCHZ ISIN: ZM0000000227 [“Cavmont” or “the Company”]

CATEGORY 1 ANNOUNCEMENT - TERMS ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE SALE BY CAVMONT CAPITAL HOLDINGS ZAMBIA PLC (“CCHZ”) OF THE ENTIRE SHAREHOLDING IN CAVMONT BANK LIMITED (“CAVMONT BANK”) 1.

Introduction Pursuant to the cautionary announcement by CCHZ published on SENS dated 8 July 2020, shareholders are hereby advised that CCHZ has signed a Share Purchase Agreement with Access Bank (Zambia) Limited (“Access Bank Zambia”), a subsidiary of Nigeria based Access Bank Plc, regarding a proposed merger of Access Bank Zambia and Cavmont Bank as at the effective date, subject to the terms and conditions as set out herein (“the transaction”).

6.

Description of the banks Cavmont Bank was established on 1 January 2004, following a merger between Cavmont Merchant Bank Limited (incorporated October 1992) and New Capital Bank Plc (incorporated June 1992). The bank was historically a savings bank but was subsequently repositioned as a full scope retail and commercial bank. Cavmont Bank is the 12th largest bank in Zambia with a strong commercial book and retail banking operations with branches in seven provinces of Zambia.

2.

The transaction In terms of the agreement, CCHZ will dispose of 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of Cavmont Bank (“the Cavmont shares”) to Access Bank Zambia, resulting in Cavmont Bank merging with Access Bank.

Access Bank Plc is the largest bank in Nigeria both by total assets and number of customers following its merger with Diamond Bank in 2019. It is Access Bank Plc’s ambition to be the number one bank in Nigeria and a top ten bank in Africa. Access Bank Plc is building a strong, sustainable Africa-based international bank to support economic prosperity, encourage intra-Africa and inter-Africa trade, and provide the power of banking to millions of people who do not yet have the financial tools to achieve their dreams. Access Bank Plc is now fully focused on building the scale needed to become in a major player in each of its key markets in the African continent (Ghana, Rwanda, Mozambique, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Zambia).

3.

The vendors CCHZ is a subsidiary of the Capricorn Group Limited (“CGP”), a Namibian-owned financial services group listed on the Namibian Stock Exchange, which holds 98.03% of the ordinary share capital of the Company.

Access Bank Zambia is a subsidiary of Access Bank Plc, Nigeria’s largest full-service commercial bank operating through a network of more than 600 branches and service outlets, spanning three continents, 12 countries and 31 million customers. Access Bank Plc is the majority shareholder in Access Bank Zambia.

4.

Rationale for the transaction The merger between Cavmont Bank and Access Bank is a highly complementary transaction, combining Access Bank Plc’s wholesale and trade finance capabilities with Cavmont Bank’s retail and commercial banking operations. The combined bank will be able to leverage Access Bank Plc’s best-in-class digital platform and product suite and build on Cavmont Bank’s branch network and offering to existing customers, creating a platform for further growth.

Following the merger the combined bank is expected to boast a strong capital base in excess of ZMW600 million, significantly exceeding the capital requirement for foreign-owned banks of ZMW520 million under the regulations of the Bank of Zambia. The robust capital structure will not only form the foundation for sustainable banking operations and future growth but will ensure the banks’ customer deposit base benefits from the greater security offered by one of the most capitalised banks in the country.

Through this merger, the combined bank will play a role in Zambia’s economic recovery by building on Cavmont Bank’s contributions to develop entrepreneurs and SME’s and making Access Bank Zambia’s trade finance, treasury, and corporate lending expertise available to Zambian multi-national customers and SME’s via the enhanced distribution network.

5.

Terms of the transaction

5.1 Sale consideration and mechanism CCHZ will dispose of the Cavmont shares to Access Bank Zambia for a cash consideration of ZMW 1, subject to such terms and conditions as are normal for such a transaction.

Furthermore, the Share Purchase Agreement requires that in addition to a minimum adjusted net asset value of ZMW 1 (including existing preference shares of ZMW 176 million and net of intangible assets and any non-transferable deferred tax assets) Cavmont Bank should also have additionally issued preference shares of at least ZMW 300 million at the date of completion of the transaction. To achieve the minimum ZMW 300 million additional preference shares, CGP will, in addition to the existing ZMW 176 million preference shares held in Cavmont Bank, convert existing funding instruments in Cavmont Bank to the value of USD10 million into preference shares and make a further investment into preference shares depending on the final audited results of Cavmont Bank for the financial year ending 30 June 2020.

At the date of amalgamation of Cavmont Bank and Access Bank Zambia, all preference shares in Cavmont Bank will be replaced by preference shares to be issued by Access Bank Zambia for the same nominal value (“the Access Zambia preference shares”).

Only ZMW 300 million of the Access Zambia preference shares will accrue interest at an agreed rate. The Access Zambia preference shares must be acquired by Access Bank Plc at any time during the 5 years following the completion of the transaction, for a maximum purchase amount of ZMW 300 million. Access Bank Plc is entitled to deduct certain losses incurred from the preference share purchase amount under certain general and specific loss provisions included in the agreement during the period from the completion date until the purchase of the preference shares. However, such deductions are limited to the preference share purchase amount of ZMW 300 million and an additional guarantee of ZMW 48 million from CGP. 5.2 Effective date The effective date of the disposal is the date on which the last of the conditions set out in the Share Purchase Agreement is satisfied. Completion is expected during Q4 2020.

5.3 Conditions precedent The transaction is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent, including inter alia: ï approval from the CCHZ shareholders; ï approval from the Bank of Zambia; ï approval from the relevant Competition Commissions; ï approval from any other relevant regulatory bodies having oversight over the parties in Zambia, Namibia and Nigeria; and ï subscription by CGP in the preference shares to be issued by Access Bank Zambia.

OVERNMENT is considering domestic trade options in the disposal of about 41,234.28 Kilogrammes of ivory worth over US$100 million.

Zambia is stuck with the ivory following a worldwide ban on trade of the commodity.

According to brief by the Ministry of Tourism And Arts,

STATE PONDERS DISPOSING $100M IVORY LOCALLY Government needed to carrying out a market research on potential buyers, despite the calls by CITES to close down domestic ivory measures.

CITES is a multilateral treaty to protect endangered plants and animals and was drafted as a result of a resolution adopted in 1963 at a meeting of members of the International

Union for Conservation of Nature.

The brief stated that CITES did not have the mandate of domestic trade and regulated international trade.

However, any potential buyer would not be able to export the ivory due to CITES restrictions.

The brief stated that there

was need for a review of domestic legislation and putting in place mechanisms for legal trade.

“Domestic trade options need to be explored by carrying out a market research on potential buyers, despite the calls by CITES to close down domestic ivory measures.

CITES does not have the man-

date of domestic trade and regulates international trade,” the brief reads in part.

The brief indicated that a joint meeting of SADC Ministers responsible for Environment, Natural Resources and Tourism directed the SADC Secretariat to coordinate the development of minimum standards for management

and disposal of stockpiles.

According to the brief, the secretariat was also told to commission a consultant to explore an alternative traceable system to trade in ivory and rhino horn stockpiles benchmarking on the existing systems for valuable products such as the Kimberly Process for global diamond trade.

LUSAKA

NATIONAL Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) has dragged Intelligent Mobility Solutions Limited (IMS) to the Lusaka High Court, claiming K141, 000 in respect of penalty arrears.

The social security firm contends that IMS allegedly remitted monthly contributions late.

NAPSA is claiming payment of K141, 760.07 in respect of penalty arrears as a result of non or late contribution of penalty arrears.

It also wants interest, damages, costs and any other relief the court may deem fit.

In a statement of claim, NAPSA stated that despite several reminders on the mandatory requirement to comply with the law, IMS had neglected to pay the sum of K141,760.07.

The matters is before the Lusaka High Court.

"That if the aforementioned payment is not made within the stated time limit, such a payment would attract a 20 percent cumulative penalty for each month.

“IMS has been remitting monthly contributions albeit late, as a result IMS has accumulated debt in penalty arrears in the sum of K141,760.07," read the claim.

NAPSA stated that it was a statutory body whose principal function was to implement policy relating to the National Pension Scheme and control and administer the scheme.

It added that it was by law mandated to collect monthly statutory contributions from contributing employers.

NAPSA stated that IMS was a statutory body established under the provisions of the Road Traffic Act No.11 of 2002.

Chapter One runs to court over voter registration

By CHINTU MALAMBO

CHAPTER One Foundation has petitioned the Constitutional Court alleging that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has breached the Constitution by restricting Voter registration to 30 days.

Cleophas Lungu, who is the chairperson, cited the Attorney General Likando Kalaluka and ECZ as respondents in the matter.

Chapter One Foundation wants the court to order the state to implement the mobile issuance of NRCs throughout the country and an order for the ECZ to carry out continuous voter registration between elections.

The petition follows an announcement that the period for the voter registration had been reduced to 30 days.

According to the petition, Chapter One Foundation, which is a non-governmental organisation, argued that implementing the issuance of National Registry Cards (NRC) in a manner is was being done was a contravention of the Constitution.

The petitioner relied on Article 128 (1) (b) of the Constitution of Zambia and alleged that the actions taken by Government and ECZ are a violation of the Consti-

tution. It added the court has jurisdiction to determine the petition.

It also relied on Article 128 (3) (b) of the Constitution and alleges that the decision made in the exercise of the legislative mandate to register citizens and register voters is unconstitutional.

Chapter One Foundation argued that Government has been implementing the issuance of NRCs to citizens pursuant to the national registration act chapter 126 of the laws of Zambia.

It stated that the registration of citizens in accordance with the national registration act chapter 126 of the laws of Zambia had been accelerated by the policy of mobile registration in various parts of the country.

The petitioner stated that Government has not rolled out the mobile registration to all parts of the country and further that the registration services are not uniformly available to all citizens.

The NGO argued that following the 2016 Constitutional amendment, the electoral process Act was amended to provide for continuous voter registration to be carried out by ECZ. According to the petitioner, ECZ has wilfully or in ignorance of the law acted outside perimeters of Constitutional limits.

"The respondents in undertaking national registration and deciding to undertake voter registration have neglected to apply the principles that apply to the system of elections in Zambia which principles are mandatory," read part of the petition.

CUTS BACKS CALLS TO CUT GOVT WAGE BILL

By KETRA KALUNGA

C

ALLS for Government to reduce the wage bill for public service workers are timely, Consumer Unity and Trust Society (CUTS) says CUTS programme coordinator, Ishmael Zulu, said salaries for civil servants and debt repayment accounted for over 90 percent, leaving very little room to fiscal policy to respond to the economic shocks such

Dr Chanda appealed to customers to settle their bills even in instalments so that the company could continue operating efficiently.

as Covid-19.

Mr Zulu said in an interview yesterday Government should start from the top in reviewing emoluments.

He said huge sums of money was being spend in forms of allowances and vehicle servicing costs among others.

Mr Zulu said if the salary review was done, the allowances and exorbitant wages especially in quasi Government institutions like Zesco

and Zambia Development Agency should also be reviewed.

"Calls for Government to come up with a wage bill policy is timely because debt repayments and salaries has accounted for over 90 percent of Government spending leaving very little room to fiscal policy to respond to economic shocks such as Covid-19," he said.

Mr Zulu said Government should take into account

the needs of low level government workers in various districts when coming up with the policy.

He said because of the tight fiscal space, Government had insufficient money for the implementation of projects.

"If there is going to be review, it's important to begin from the top and see ways in which spending can be cut,” he said.

Illegal developers invade Isoka airstrip

By PETER SICHALI

SOME residents have encroached the airstrip belonging to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), Isoka District Council chairperson Charles Simukoko has said.

Mr Simukoko warned that the illegal structures on the airstrip would be demol-

ished as the CAA had a plan to put a new airstrip and that the land was still gazetted.

"We would want to urge those that are building on the airstrip to immediately stop because they risk having those structures demolished," Mr Simukoko said.

Mr Simukoko said it was disappointing that people

had built structures in the airstrip and the buffer zone.

He advised the traditional leaders in Mwembe and Mwaiseni villages to stop allocating land on the airstrip until it was de-gazetted.

He said the village committees that had allocated plots on CAA land would be forced to compensate peo-

ple who had built structures on the airstrip.

Mr Simukoko advised those still constructing their structures to immediately stop. About 12 structures have been illegally built on the airstrip after traditional leaders allocated land for residential plots.

‘Teachers lack e-learning skills’

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

ZAMBIAN teachers do not have skills to provide lessons through the electronic learning platform, says Teacher Education and Specialised Services Director, Ngosa Katoti.

He said the training of teachers is predominantly that they transmit lessons face-to-face Mr Katoti explained that this kind of training has contributed to the challenges Zambia is facing to provide lessons to pupils through the e-learning platform.

He was speaking yesterday during a presentation on Global pandemics and Zambia’s Education Sector “Modernising Teaching Methods to Build Resilience” at a virtual meeting organised by the Policy Monitoring and Research

Centre (PMRC).

“Zambia is not ready for the modernisation of the teaching methods because regarding teachers, their training is predominantly that they teach face to face.

It is not easy for teachers to adapt and offer lessons through the internet,” Mr Katoti said.

Teachers, Mr Katoti said, would now be mandated to undertake a course under Information Communication Technology before graduating for them to able to provide e-lessons.

Mr Katoti said the Ministry of General Education had not yet invested much in e-learning and therefore not easy to provide the lessons through the internet platform.

This, he explained, had posed a challenge in providing infrastructure to transmit the lessons.

Mr Katoti stressed that Zambia does not have adequate infrastructure to support e-learning platform.

“We are not ready for now. Looking at infrastructure, we do not have necessary infrastructure to support future shocks but Covid-19 has been a wakeup call and we hope that between now and the future, we should be ready to provide e-lessons. We will have to invest in infrastructure,” he said.

Mr Katoti observed the need for a deliberate policy to provide learning platforms for pupils to access the lessons during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.

He also observed the need to strengthen alternative model of teaching for teachers to adapt to new ways of teaching.

CHAMBER OF MINES QUERIES TAX FIGURES

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

T

HE Zambia Chamber of Mines (ZCM) is not aware of the K19.68 billion owed to Government by the mining industry, its Chief Executive Officer, Sokwani Chilembo has said.

This follows revelations from an investigation conducted by the Daily Nation which indicated that the mining industry owes in excess of K19.68 billion in unpaid taxes.

The investigations also revealed that contrary to claims by the ZCM that Government owes the industry US$1 billion (equivalent to K18 billion) in unpaid Value Added Tax (VAT), official figures indicate that the sector is instead owed K10.4 billion.

But Mr Chilembo in an interview said he was not aware of the figures which had been provided as they

were new.

"I am not aware of those figures. These are new figures. We will have to get an update from our members.

Send a press query so the

finance committee can look into these numbers," he said. According to the investigation, the industry owes Government tax revenue in excess of K19.68 billion, the

bulk of which relates to unpaid VAT Assessments.

These relate to failure by mining companies to fulfil VAT Rule 18 requirements that legally required proof of export by any exporter before claiming VAT from the Government.

Other unpaid taxes by large mining companies relate to illegal transfer pricing practices, some of which have already been decided by the Supreme Court in favour of ZRA. On the other hand, the State has outstanding VAT refunds due to the mining companies amounting to K10.4 billion with an overall net position of K9.3 billion owed by the biggest mining companies.

The refunds, according to Mr Chilembo, had potential to harm the economy in terms of investor confidence and undermine tax compliance in Zambia.

THE PEOPLE’S PAPER; BUILDING THE NATION WITH REAL ISSUES

THREE business organisations have jointly contributed K902, 000 towards Covid-19 efforts which has subdued economic activities.

First National Bank (FNB) Zambia, has partnered with Hollard Zambia and Right-to-care Zambia to offer Covid-19 relief support to national authorities.

The three contributed Covid-19 test kit items valued at approximately K902, 000.

Bydon Longwe, FNB Zambia Chief Executive Officer, hoped that the timely action would help the country mitigate the impact of Covid-19.

Mr Longwe believed that the contributions would assist the authorities and their partners in mitigating the impact of Covid-19 especially that the numbers were escalating.

“The collaborative effort is inspired by the South African Pandemic Intervention and Relief Effort (SPIRE) intervention and relief effort launched by FirstRand Limited, of which FNB Zambia is a subsidiary.

“It is our hope that this donation will go a long way to ensuring that we can effectively protect ourselves against infection amidst the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said in a statement.

ARARE - The Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe (CoMZ) has agreed to effect a slightly over 100 percent salary increment for mine workers as the mining companies’ representative body moves to cushion workers against inflation.

The salary adjustment is applicable for the third quarter (July 1 to September 30,) and will see the least paid mine worker getting $14, 750 per month. Prior to this agreement, the least paid worker was getting $7, 000.

Of the new wage rate, the equivalent of US$95 will be paid in local currency at the prevailing interbank exchange rate, which stood at $76.70 to the US dollar as of the last foreign currency auction.

However, non-foreign currency generating entities

…100pc salary increment for mine workers

will be exempt from the foreign currency clause.

Associated Mine Workers’ Union of Zimbabwe president Tinago Ruzive, signed off the new National Employment Council (NEC) salary rate card on behalf of mine workers.

“The portion payable in US dollars shall be converted to Zimbabwe dollars at the prevailing interbank exchange rate at the time of payment and deducted from the respective

minimum wage to determine the balance to be paid in the local currency,” reads the new NEC schedule.

“For clarity, the total earnings for each grade will be equal to the respective minimum for that grade. “Non-foreign currency generating companies are excluded from the requirement to pay in US dollars,” advised the NEC. The huge adjustment will go a long way in cushioning workers from the continuously

rising cost of living due to inflation. It is also in sync with Government’s policy direction, which entails that mining should be done in a manner that benefits both the investor, workers and communities living within the proximity of the mines.

The increase was also expected despite the challenges being experienced by other sectors of the economy due to the Covid-19 global pandemic.

African supply bottlenecks fuel cobalt price surge LONDON - Transport delays from South Africa against a backdrop of increasingly robust Chinese demand have fuelled a price rally for cobalt hydroxide, used to make chemicals for electric vehicle batteries.

Chinese cobalt refiners have moved to replenish stocks of hydroxide feedstock as they gear up for a rebound in demand as coronavirus lockdowns are eased.

But Covid-19 lockdowns in southern Africa have created bottlenecks, delaying cobalt shipments from Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo, which accounts for over 70 percent of global supply.

“We are seeing a scramble for cobalt hydroxide in China, (but) buyers are finding it isn’t there,” said Benchmark Mineral Intelligence’s (BMI) head of price assessment Caspar Rawles.

Cobalt from Congo comes in the form of hydroxide which is converted into chemicals for the lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, mobile phones and the aerospace industry.

Cobalt hydroxide prices are typically a percentage of the metal price, known as a payable. According to an assessment by BMI, payables hit levels around 75 percent in July, their highest in two years, from around 67 percent last month.

Traders said payables had risen even further, to around 85 percent currently.

Cobalt prices CBD0 on the London Metal Exchange are at $33, 000 a tonne, the highest since early March and up more than 15 percent since the end of July, when the price slide due to stalled activity and Covid-19 lockdowns came to an end. – REUTERS.

Gold price rises above $2, 000 for first time LONDON - Gold has topped $2, 000 (£1,527) an ounce for the first time as traders look for havens amid the pandemic.

Investors have moved cash into the precious metal as Covid-19 cases rise in the United States and more money is pumped into the global economy.

The record high gold price has also been driven by concerns over tensions between Washington and Beijing.

Prices of other precious metals, including silver, have also risen sharply since the start of this year.

The price of gold has increased by more than 30 percent this year as coronavirus cases continue to rise in America, causing dozens of states to halt or reverse their plans to reopen.

The rapid rise in cases, which has dented hopes of a swift US economic recovery, has also helped to drive up the price of silver by around a third this year.

Among the reasons for those rises is investors preparing themselves for a possible pick-up in inflation due to the impact of trillions of dollars of stimulus from governments and central banks around the world.

In Washington, Trump administration negotiators have said that they will work “around the clock” with Democrats as they attempt to strike a deal on more economic relief measures by the end of the week.

According to Bank of America, governments around the world have already announced approximately $20 trillion worth of stimulus to combat the economic impact of the pandemic.

Some investors see the fallout from the Covid-19 crisis, along with ongoing tensions between the US and China, continuing to push up the price of gold.

Market strategist Margaret Yang says she sees potential for bullion to continue rising in the coming weeks and months: “The mid-tolong-term prospect of gold and other precious metals remains bullish against the backdrop of low interest rate environment and fiscal and monetary stimulus.”

Kitwe ward projects approved

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Ministry of Local Government has approved the implementation of the Ward Development Fund (WDF) projects in Kitwe.

Last month, Kitwe City Council set aside K2.5 million for wards for the period April to December, this year.

Council Public Relations Officer, Nelly Nkolongo, said that the fund was for developmental projects in all the five constituencies in the city.

She was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation.

“These projects are meant to cover a wide range of services such as garbage collection, road grading, vegetation control, unblocking of the drainages and construction works. “Other services include water reticulation, sinking of boreholes and provisioning of street lighting within the city of Kitwe,” she said.

Ms Nkolongo said that it was to that effect that the chairpersons and secretaries for each of the 28 Ward Development Committees (WDCS) had been invited to flag off the implementation of the projects.

She further hoped that there would be smooth deliberations as well as planning on the matter until completion.

UPND INTRA-PARTY POLLS SLAMMED

By ROGERS KALERO

L

OSING candidates in the justended UPND Copperbelt intraparty elections have described the process as below acceptable standards.

They charged that some senior party leaders were putting their personal interests before that of the party Some of the losing candidates told the Daily Nation in Kitwe in separate interviews that some senior party officials had their preferred candidates and influenced the results in their favour.

The UPND members, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they were disappointed at the way the elections were conducted, saying such kind of behaviour could destroy the party because even their supporters were not happy “To start with, in our arrangement, if

To start with, in our arrangement, if you are candidate, you will not vote in the election. The other thing is that we had a situation where if you are standing for a position and you are not liked by the senior members, they will raise a candidate to stand against you. you are a candidate, you will not vote in the election. The other thing is that we had a situation where if you are standing for a position and you are not liked by the senior members, they will raise a candidate to stand against you.

But newly-elected UPND Copperbelt Information Publicity Secretary, Lawrence Mwanza, said the complaints were not genuine and that it was normal to complain after defeat in an election to get sympathy from supporters.

Mr Mwanza said people should put aside the defeat in the elections and concentrate on building the party ahead of the 2021 elections to ensure victory.

He advised those who lost in the elections not to feel hopeless, but work with the elected leaders in various ways so that they could build the UPND under President Hakainde Hichilema.

“We can learn something from each other. Those who have won can learn something from those who have lost and vice-versa.

We need unity of purpose, let us forge together as one family,’’ Mr Mwanza said.

Kasumbalesa border

Kasumbalesa border ops smooth - ZRA

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

GOVERNMENT has not been losing revenue to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) at Kasumbalesa border as speculated by some sections of society, the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has clarified.

According to the ZRA, a good working relationship exists between the Zambian and Congolese authorities to avoid congestion and allow smooth flow of traffic.

ZRA Commissioner Customs Services, Sydney Chibbabbuka, noted that there had been misinformation in the country concerning the revenue collected at Kasumbalesa border.

He explained that ZRA did not

collect revenue or taxes from transit consignments.

Mr Chibbabbuka was speaking when he toured the Kasumbalesa border post to appreciate certain projects.

“There is no revenue lost on transits and exports because we do not collect tax from them. The only thing we do is facilitating trade between the two countries,” he added.

Mr Chibbabbuka said that Zambia had embraced the coordinated border management for successful execution of border duties.

And ZRA Kasumbalesa Senior Manager, Malama Chiwama, expressed confidence that the measures that were put in place were helping with the smooth flow of

traffic at the border.

Mr Chiwama said that there were a lot of trucks that were marooned at the border especially those that were headed to the DRC due to certain procedures and the size of the road.

“The Congo bound trucks had so many procedures to go through and our yard could not hold many trucks hence having had congestion.

“We also only had two lanes of the road getting into Congo but I can now confirm that we have created the third one to allow traffic flow,” he explained.

He said that the Zambian side made an agreement with their Congolese counterparts to have certain procedures carried out on the Zambian side so that trucks were not taking long to be cleared.

HEALTH experts in Chililabombwe have advised against stigmatisation of Covid-19 patients and individuals have recovered from the disease.

Stigmatisation in the border town has worried the district health office, which has appealed to residents to desist from the retrogressive trend.

Chililabombwe district Health Director, Martha Chakulimba, said it was of concern that individuals coming out of quarantine were being stigmatised in the communities.

Dr Chakulimba said the stigma was coming from members of the community once someone who had recovered from the virus re-joined society from isolation.

She said the district health office was looking at how the issue would be dealt with in order to move from the stigmatisation.

The District Health Director stated that it was important to educate the public that Covid-19 was something that could affect anyone, thus the need to stop the stigma.

She indicated that as the health office worked on strengthening prevention strategies there was also need to control stigma.

Dr Chakulimba stated that the health office had continued to work on preventive strategies in order to avoid falling into uncontrollable cases of COVID-19.

She indicated that her office was working with the officers at the Kasumbalesa border as well as the mines in order to ensure that economic activities did not collapse.

Dr Chakulimba said her office was also working with the local authority, which was conducting patrols to ensure preventive guidelines were being followed.

NORTH-WEST POLICE WARNING

…stay away from registration centres

POLICE in North-Western Province will not hesitate to arrest anyone interfering with the work of officers engaged in the issuance of National Registration Cards (NRCs) in the region.

The warming follows reports that a parliamentarian in Solwezi stormed a registration centre with a horde

of cadres and started intimidating registration officers when the exercise started on Saturday August 1.

Provincial Commissioner of police, Elias Chushi, warned that anyone found interfering with the work of registration officers would be dealt with severely.

He said to ensure smooth conduct of the exercise in the province, police have intensified patrols in all the

“We have since intensified patrols in all the areas in the province where the mobile issuance of NRCs is being conducted because of the reported disruption and disturbances by some organisations and individuals,” he said.

Mr Chushi said officers had been detailed to ensure they arrest any culprit found disturbing the peace at the centres.

Shebeens emerge in L/Stone

FARMERS in Pemba should start making deposits of their K 400 so that they can start accessing farming inputs for the 2020/2021 under the Famer Input Support Programme (FISP).

Pemba District Commissioner Reginald Mugoba said previously, farmers were making deposits at the last minutes.

He said, therefore, that farmers should immediately start to make their deposits and that the K400 would reflect on their phones.

In an interview, Mr Mugoba said that the district was still under the e-voucher programme.

“We are encouraging farmers to start depositing their K400. As you know Pemba is under e-voucher and so, we want them to start accessing the agricultural inputs as you

By ANDREW MUKOMA SOME residents Livingstone are operating shebeens and selling beer in defiance of social distancing and a ban on the sale of alcohol in bars and other congested outlets.

The development has raised concern among residents who fear that this could lead to further spread of Covid-19 pandemic.

Simonga ward councillor, Peter Munyama, observed that some shebeens at Indeco Market were operating with impunity and appealed to the public to desist from patronising illegal beer outlets.

Mr Munyama encouraged the department of public health and council police to move in bring sanity at the market. He said that the same shebeens were causing noise pollution and were operating even beyond midnight.

Mr Munyama said he had been engaging those involved in the illegality to stop but his efforts were not appreciated.

“I have been receiving complaints of noise pollution at Indeco Market which is coming from some shebeens being operated by some residents.

This is a serious issue.

The shebeens are running through up to 02:00 hours and residents are complaining about it.

Mr Munyama observed the local authority needed to take action against such people.

“There is no way that a market can house shebeens and operate beyond midnight.

The law does not allow that,” he said.

Mr Mugoba

know that the window is now open.

“The problem with some of the cooperative farmers is that they only become active when it’s time to start getting inputs. Cooperatives must be active all year round,” Mr Mugoba said.

He observed that most farmers did not understand that cooperatives were supposed to be helping them if they did not have the money because they held shares in cooperatives.

Mr Mugoba noted that these shares were supposed to be used as capital for the cooperatives.

“We are encouraging leaders of these cooperatives to ensure that they operate throughout the year not only when it’s time to access fertilizer.

“We don’t want people to start panicking. We want them to start the preparations in advance to avoid panicking like it has always been the case before,” he said.

Mr Mugoba said that during the 2019/2020 farming season, Pemba had sufficient rainfall and some farmers who adhered to the metrological advice had very good harvest.

The final novel coronavirus, the final work COVID: THE MYTHS, THE FACTS, THE DEBATES, THE UNKNOWNS

T

HAT we are at war can never be overemphasised.

Despite this war having been raging for about nine months now some people still just seem not to know what is going on or just don’t care.

Sometimes I just wish I could stand on top of Lusaka’s Findeco House with a big megaphone screaming my lungs out reminding the people that our formidable adversary knows no rest and is claiming lives day by day.

I passionately want to reach out to as many people as possible before corona itself reaches to them; for there is no telling what it can do.

I’m doing this not as the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health as I am extremely far from that. I write these articles in my own capacity as a frontline medical doctor who has attended close to 200 Covid-19 patients in the hope that most, if not all of us can at least start seeing things from the same lens.

I do put in a lot of energy and time. Usually I write around 03 hours. This is my gift to Mother Zambia in whose soil my umbilical cord is buried.

I hope you’ll take what you read with the seriousness it deserves and then take necessary action as we are all soldiers in this war and literally so even in God’s eyes. Each one of us has a role play in defeating this invisible enemy.

In the coming series, I will be sharing knowledge on Covid-19 with some stories of success and some of the battles lost at the battlefront.

Also a segment called “In their own words,” in which I will be interviewing Covid-19 patients, those who have recovered and those in isolation, with their identities withheld of course as a matter of privacy, especially that there is still stigma associated with this disease in some sectors of the community.

As words or information is the greatest weapon in every battle so is this one. Amidst so much information some so outrageous I have taken upon myself to try and share with the public.

To begin with, I think let’s start from the basics, just what is going on here, where did we come from, how did we get ourselves where we are now and where are we likely going.

cently saying for there to be Covid-19, it means there has been Covid-1 to Covid-18 before and that since we survived the first 18 there is no need to fear the 19th.

THE MYTHS AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES

FACTS;

Some of the many myths, conspiracy theories and just weird things that have been said and are still being said about Coronavirus are as follows: *Its 5G related.

There have been rumours that coronavirus came about as a side effect of trying to increase cellular network connectivity from 4G 4th Generation to 5th Genetration 5 G.Samsung was the first phone to have 5g.

Of course this is not true, the virus has nothing to do with 5g or any orher Gs. *Global conspiracy to vaccinate people and enrich some people like Bill Gates etc.

I would have been very rich by now, probably closing a deal on buying an airport in Dubai or some exotic island in the pacific. *Sexually transmitted Once I had a patient who was being stigmatised by her community saying she got corona from having sex with truck drivers. *It’s the Mark of the beast 666.

*Affects only the rich those with passports. (bakumayadi ba mu Lusaka).

Really? * It was engineered in the lab for population control. * Someone was on Radio re-

The following facts are currently agreed upon by the general scientific community.

We will talk about the origins of the virus, its transmission, Covid-19, treatment, preventive measures, then also areas of research .Today will only end on Transmission.

Treatment and the rest will be tackled later. *This Corona Virus is called “The novel” because it’s a new form of Corona viruses.

As a group corona viruses have been around for a very long time. They mostly live in bats and avian birds which are believed to be their natural reservoir. Some other types of corona viruses ae those that cause the common cold (chinfine).

As long as they stay in their reservoir there is no problem, but the moment they mutate and then jump from bats to an intermediate then mutate again and jump to humans and then mutate again and pass from human to human, then there is trouble, very big trouble as we are experiencing at the moment.

The word CORONA VIRUS was coined in 1966 by June Almeida and David Tyrrell to describe the appearance of these viruses under an Electron Microscope, which appear as a crown *SARS COV 2 which stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 is the name given to this virus as it resembles the SARS virus of 2003 by about 70 percent; * SARS COV 2 causes the disease Covid-19 which is short for Coron Virus Disease of 2019. * First cases were reported in China somewhere in late 2019 November, December. * Declared a Pandemic by WHO. Transmission To forget everything else I have written so far is ok but to

MICRONS Respiratory droplets are the main routes of transmission. They are classified as small, intermediate and large according to their sizes. Small are less than 5 microns in diameter, the intermediate are between 5 and 100 microns and the large ones are over 100 microns.

ignore this part then both you and I have failed humanity and we should urgently seek for forgiveness from both our progenitors and descendants.

This is the most important part of my article, for its here you and I can make a difference.

The Infectiobility of Sars Cov 2.

Corona virus is believed to have an r note that is a reproduction number of 2 to 3, this means one infected person can infect up to 2 to 3 people.

Le’ts say its 3 this means 1 person infects 3 new people who each infect 3 new people and the cycle goes on and on such that by the 3rd cycle about 40 people will be infected and that can be in just a couple of days, by the 10th cycle about 80, 000. This is why corona virus spreads so fast and has the potential to infect everyone on this globe.

Respiratory droplets are the main routes of transmission.

They are classified as small, intermediate and large according to their sizes. Small are less than 5 microns in diameter, the intermediate are between 5 and 100 microns and the large ones are over 100 microns. The diameter of human hair is about 80 microns, in comparison viruses are very tiny particles, ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 micron. The size of corona virus particles called virions is about 0.06 microns to about 0.3.These are the main ways currently agreed upon as way through which coronavirus spreads. *Droplet transmission.

This involves respiratory particles of about 5 to 10 microns in diameter. When an infected person not wearing a mask re-

leases these air particles from their saliva, cough, sneezes, or sings. These are believed to fly balistically in the air up to about a meter away. *Aerosol Transmission (airborne transmission) These are air particles less than three microns. Recent multiple studies have a shown that coronavirus can spread by this route as well. These small particles are able to travel up to

passed so many different hands.

Hand hygiene is extremely important to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus *Also possibility of faecal Oral to be discussed later.

Transmission can be imported that is across borders usually through planes. This was the most common way the virus spread fron China to the rest of the globe. Also it can be through roads like our borders

eight meters away and can stay in the atmosphere up to about three hours.

This simply means it can spread just like TB hence even one meter social distance is not enough. This simply means it can spread just like TB hence even one metre is not enough.

Some studies in China found such aerosols with coronavirus particles in air conditioners of rooms that housed Covid-19 patients, while some have shown infection transmission during choir practice, fitness classes and in restaurants.

In addition to masking up and socially distancing, good air ventilation, avoiding indoor meetings and crowded places are essential. *Contact Transmission This occurs when contaminated hands touch the mucosa of the mouth, nose, or eyes; Hands pick the virus from fomites, that is contaminated places such as doors, etc where it can stay in these places even up to days. This puts especially marketeers at risk who have to constantly handle cash that has

in Chirundu bordering Zimbabwe or Nakonnde bordering Tanzania.

Once in the country there can be local transmission from the infected person to close contacts.

There can also be Hospital transmission where infected person passes it on to other patients and health care workers.

Finally there is Community spread which means people have been infected with the virus in an area, some are not even sure how or where they became infected. Here is where we are now as a country.

So please kindly consider EVERY PERSON you meet as a potential carrier of the virus and has the potential to infect you and others and you should as well consider yourself as such.

With this brief background information I hope we can all play our part by observing the laid down health measures. Remember if we don’t it’s either we are committing suicide by putting ourselves at risk or indeed committing murder by putting others at risk.

BOTSWANA BANS ALCOHOL SALES AMID COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Mauritania PM and government resign amid graft probe NOUAKCHOTT - Mauritania’s prime minister and his entire government resigned yesterday, a day after parliamentary investigators probing alleged graft under the previous administration submitted a report whose authors questioned several ministers.

The political system in Mauritania has been rocked this year by a parliamentary investigation into alleged corruption in the government of former President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz, who stepped down last year after a decade in power.

His close ally Mohamed Ould Ghazouani won the election to succeed him, but Abdel Aziz quickly found his government’s actions, including deals involving offshore oil projects, under scrutiny by parliament.

The investigators on Wednesday gave a report documenting their findings to the public prosecutor.

Ismail Ould Cheikh Sidiya The report has not been made public but several current ministers were questioned about suspected graft that occurred on their watch while serving in senior positions in Abdel Aziz’s government.

In brief remarks to reporters yesterday, Prime Minister Ismail Ould Cheikh Sidiya said he had submitted the government’s resignation to Ghazouani but did not provide an explanation. – REUTERS.

GABORONE - Botswana's government has banned the sale of alcohol and suspended all liquor licences.

A notice issued in the government gazette said the suspension was until further notice. All liquor stores will remain closed.

The reason given for the ban was that alcohol had "negative effects on adherence to Covid-19 protocols."

Last week, the government reinstated a strict lockdown in the capital, Gaborone, for two weeks to curb rising cases.

The country has to date confirmed 804 coronavirus cases and two deaths.

Meanwhile, the director of Africa Centre for Disease Control has expressed concern about Tanzania's handling of the coronavirus

Dr John Nkengasong pandemic.

Dr John Nkengasong told BBC's Newsday that there was not enough data to determine the situation in Tanzania.

He said the centre had developed a continental joint response strategy to be able to defeat the virus.

"We continue to hope and plead that Tanzania could come forth and report the situation as it is so that we can work together to stem this virus out of the continent," he said.

He emphasised on the need for all African countries to work together.

"We continue to reach out (to Tanzania) but we are not having the response that we expect," he said.

Tanzania's President John Magufuli has insisted that his country has been "saved" from the virus and declared the country virus free.

The country is getting ready for October elections and is an electioneering mood. People have been going about their business with no masks or social distancing. – BBC.

Rangers could have punished NAPSA Stars in the 38th minute when Zikiru Adams tried to beat Rabson Muchelenganga with an overhead kick which went wide.

NAPSA Stars’ Simon Nkata saw his low shot going off target before Rangers striker Quadri Kola had put Rangers ahead in the 45th minute however his goal was ruled out for offside.

Silwaba broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute after benefitting from Lawrence Muma’s defence splitting pass. Nkana players thronged the stadium while cheering and chanting but had to leave the most disappointed lot after word went round that Forest had their appeal against Zanaco granted by FAZ to have their game replayed.

Despite their loss to Rangers, NAPSA have confirmed their slot in the continental competition after finishing fourth on the log.

Meanwhile, Green Eagles qualified for the CAF Confederations Cup after beating Lusaka Dynamos 2-0 in Choma to finish third with 48 points.

Zesco United and Zanaco missed out on a top four finish after recording 1-1 draws with Red Arrows and Lumwana Radiants respectively.

Radiants join Mufulira Wanderers, Nakambala Leopards and Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy who have been relegated from the Super Division.

Guardiola says City are ‘ready’ for Real Madrid test

King named Mourinho’s assistant at Tottenham

PEP Guardiola says Manchester City want to impose their game when they meet Real Madrid in their postponed Champions League match today, believing his side are ready to face the 13time champions.

City host Zinedine Zidane’s team in the second leg of their last-16 tie, leading 2-1 after their win in the Bernabeu in February.

Guardiola’s side lost their Premier League crown to Liverpool but have a chance to finish the coronavirus-interrupted season by becoming European champions for the first time.

Club legend Ledley King has been appointed as first-team assistant at Tottenham.

Former captain King, 39, made 323 appearances before retiring in 2012.

“He has tremendous affinity with this club. Fans appreciate how much he accomplished as a true Spurs man on and off the pitch,” said manager Jose Mourinho. ”We have developed a good relationship, and we hope to use his experience and insight.”

-BBC

“We want to play our own game,” the City boss said at his pre-match press conference yesterday.

“We want to impose our own style on the game, whether we’re defending or playing on the counter-attack or whether Madrid are countering.

“What we want to try and do is take the game to certain areas of the field where we can hurt Real Madrid, where we can show the qualities of our players.”

He added: “I had the feeling now, today, that we are ready to play the game tomorrow and do a good performance and win the

game,” he said. “That’s my feeling, we are ready.”

But Guardiola warned that it was vital for his side to cut out the defensive mistakes that have hurt his side this season.

“More than conceding the goals, it’s the way that we conceded the goals,” he said. “When they are brilliant and make a good action we have to accept it.

“But for most of them it was goals that could have been avoided. We have to avoid it. Making mistakes in this competition punishes you a lot.” SuperSport. commitment to continue developing futsal as a sport which is loved by youths with diffferent social backgrounds.

He said the futsal league will have 10 competitive teams which will be paid by the PFL. Mehta encourage teams in Lusaka wishing to try out Futsal to register for the division one league where teams will have to impress to qualify for the Super League. He said deadline for registration of teams in both super division and division one is August 15.

THERE was drama at Kitwe’s Arthur Davies Stadium when Nkana’s celebrations for a 13th league title were halted after the FAZ appeals committee rescinded the disciplinary committee’s decision to award Zanaco three points over their un-played match against Forest Rangers.

With Forest beating NAPSA Stars 1-0, Nkana were set to be crowned Champions as they would end the league with 50 points.

However, FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kasha said the coronation of the 2019/2020 Super Division champions would await the tie involving Rangers and Zanaco who will face off on Sunday at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

“As it stands the champions will not be crowned today.

We will have to wait a little bit for the game to be played on Sunday and the winner of the league will be decided,” Kashala said.

Forest appealed the FAZ disciplinary committee’s decision which awarded Zanaco the three points after their game could not be played a fortnight ago in Ndola.

The decision means Forest and Zanaco would now have to play their unplayed fixture as they stand to bag a historical first Super Division title.

champions should they beat Zanaco on Sunday following their 1-0 boost against NAPSA yesterday.

Rangers stood in the way of NAPSA’s chances of a maiden title dream as a Lameck Silwaba 72nd minute goal separated the two sides.

Rangers started as the better side but it was NAPSA Stars with the first chance on goal through Bonwell Mwape whose sublime free kick was saved by goal keeper Mathias Kigonya.

Mwape almost broke the deadlock on the half-hour mark but was unfortunate as he failed to take advantage of Kigonya’s careless goal keeping, sending his shot over the bar.

THE 2020/2021 Wildcat Premier Futsal League (PFL) will kick off on September 4, PFL chairman Tarak Mehta has said.

Mehta said the PFL is doing everything to ensure that the league returns after the 2019-2020 Futsal season was declared null and void due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In an interview, Mehta said there is need for teams in the Super League and the Division One to speed up the process of registration because the PFL is ready to start the new season.

He said PFL has delayed to resume the league to supplement the government’s efforts in preventing the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic which caused the premature end of the 2019/2020 Futsal season.

Mehta said the Wildcat PFL will come up with strict measures aimed at promoting the players’ safety when the league returns.

“The Wildcat PFL has been conforming to the directives from the government the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Sports which had banned all contact sports.
