GOVERNMENT should revise public policy to reduce public wage bill as the country embarks on economic recovery, former Finance Minister Katele Kalumba has said.

Dr Kalumba said the country had a huge public wage bill following the creation of new districts.

He said reduction of salaries for ministers and the President will not have an impact on the economy hence the need for a public policy to reduce the wage bill.

“I am warning them strongly to stay away from illegal allocation of land. It is moreover not the job of councillors to allocate land to the people,” she said.

She said that councils should work hand in hand with the surveyor general’s office as well as her ministry.

And Ms Mulalelo said the delayed Covid-19 test results were as a result of a global challenge with inadequate reagents and supplies to meet the demand.

She said the supply chain constraints were owing to the disease burden and demand for testing globally.

“There is no production capacity in Zambia or the whole Africa for required diagnostic reagents, consumables as well as PPEs. There is limited availability of high laboratory equipment,” she said.

Ms Mulalelo however said Government was doing everything possible to manage the situation, saying there would be rational use of available resources.

Chifubu court arsonists will be hunted down - Minister

By NATION REPORTER THE burning of the local court in Ndola is retrogressive and a criminal act which competent security wings will have to investigate thoroughly, Works and Supply MInister, Sylvia Chalikosa has said.

The minister who has been in Ndola and Kitwe on her on-going national wide inspection of public infrastructure, said the gutting of the Chifubu Local Court was a big setback on the justice system.

She said when she checked on the damage that she hoped that the country would not go back into the season where public infrastructure was being set on fire deliberately.

Mr Chalikosa said all documents had been destroyed in the infernal adding that there was need to advocate for storing data electronically so as to avoid losing out.

During her tour of the two towns, the Minister inspected some selected public infrastructure such as the Kitwe Teaching Hospital, Office of the District Commissioner in Kitwe, Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Copperbelt Provincial Administration in Ndola and the State Lodges in Kitwe and Ndola.

This is contained in a statement issued by Ministry Of Works And Supply public relations officer, Ndubi Mvula.

UPND LIES OVER BILL 10 EXPOSED From Page 1 The project claims that Bill 10 has specific clauses that want to bar the UPND president, Mr Hakainde Hichilema and extend the term office of the current government from five to seven years.

This came to light when Bill 10 advocates who are in

the province featured on Solwezi Fm radio.

One of the callers Bichi Kupapala in Solwezi charged that he heard from the opposition that there is a clause which is aimed at barring Mr Hichilema from standing as a Presidential candidate.

“I heard that in the same Bill 10 that there is a clause

that says if a person has never been a councillor or member of Parliament one cannot stand as President, I’m sure this Bill is targeting Mr Hichilema.” Mr Kupapala claimed.

Another caller, Mr Clifford Makina said he has heard that Bill 10 was proposing to be paying retirement packages for pensioners after 10

years.

“We are told that when Bill 10 passes in Parliament, pensioners will be getting their retirement packages after 10 years,” he said.

But Bill 10 advocate Prince Ndoyi said there were no such clauses that were targeting individuals and that it was unfortunate that such in-

formation was being peddled by the opposition.

“How can a national party think so low and claim that Bill 10 want to bar HH, that’s a lie, there is no such a clause in Bill 10 that is the reason we are here to explain and defuse the lies being peddled by some people,” Mr Ndoyi explained.

And another advocate Pengele Filamba charged that it people desire that retirees continue drawing salaries until such a time when their packages will be ready and that there was no such a thing that retirees will be paid after 10 years.

Others callers explained that they only heard negative things on Bill 10 but were glad to hear the positives, saying the Bill was progressive.

Bill 10 advocates are in the province to sensitive the public on its contents.

"The country has suffered economic setback due to covid-19 and there is need for a public policy that will see the reduction of public wage bill," Dr Kalumba said.

Dr Kalumba said there is need for Government to halt creation of new districts to reduce the national wage bill.

"We must engage the public in debating the impact of the national wage bill across the board particularly the creation of new district," Dr Kalumba said.

He said there is need for the country to make a bold decision to resuscitate the declining economic indicators.

Dr Kalumba said the cost of state wage bill was high and must be reduced to have an impacted on the economy.

"Government should take certain bold steps such as halting creation of districts and the implementation of new districts," he said.

Dr Kalumba said through public policy the country can decide to reduce salaries for Corporate Chief executive officers, Ministers and Members of Parliaments and workers in general so that the country GDP can grow.

He said the country's national wage bill was too high and can only have an impact if reduced through public policy.

And Dr Kalumba said the country needed the church’s moral guidance than their involvement in politics.

Dr Kalumba said it was unfortunate that clergymen are using the pulpit to insult and preach hatred and violence. ‘’Moral guidance does not entail involving yourselves in politics, right now the country needs spiritual direction rather than your engagement in politics , we need our soul to be ministered to,” he said.

Dr Kalumba said the church should leave politics to the politicians that are good at them.

‘Leave the politics to politicians , we are aware the church has the right to give statements on national issues especially when people are suffering but use the right channels to consult the government of the day by feeding into the policy making processes , ‘’he said .

Dr Kalumba also advised politicians to be sober in the manner in which they do their politics.

BOOST SCHOOL COMPLIANCE AS the COVID-19 cases escalate in the country, learning institutions must stock up essential requirements such as face masks, hand sanitisers, soap, buckets and running water to protect pupils.

Although pupils in examination classes are not many, it will just be prudent to take extra care of the vulnerable boys and girls.

School head teachers and other members of staff must not only monitor pupils’ adherence to health guidelines, but must also observe and implement such guidelines.

Members of the staff must not drop the guard and trudge the school corridors with masks dangling from their chins.

They should put preventive measures into practice themselves as they stand as role models to pupils; they must be exemplary.

Teachers who have been trained in basic preventive lessons must enhance sensitisation on COVID-19 on a daily basis.

Correct information about the pandemic must sink deeper into the minds of pupils and this can be achieved through effective dissemination of information; not through casual approach.

COVID-19 is real, fast-spreading, highly -infectious and the virus can affect anyone and anywhere!

Teachers must particularly emphasise the imperative need to practice social distancing, which has proved to be a challenge in many areas.

The cold weather is not helping matters as figures have escalated and more worrying is the rising numbers of Brought In Dead (BID) positive cases.

Yes, COVID-19 is highly infectious, but the social and economic sectors ought to continue running, the reason why Government resolved that examination classes should continue.

In boarding schools in particular, authorities must upscale all efforts and ensure that pupils are fully protected.

The fight against COVID-19 is everyone’s responsibility more so because Government has allowed partial running of some critical sectors.

Parents must play a bigger role because they spend much of the time with their children except those in boarding schools.

It is even more worrying for pupils that are using public transport to get to and from school because many commuters on buses do not wear masks and there is absolutely no social distancing on such automobiles.

The situation is so precarious that no one should be left behind in the COVID-19 sensitisation programmes.

With cumulative cases around 6,000 and over 165 deaths, the statistic is worrying, considering that the 24 hourly updates have maintained an upward trend.

In fact, the figures are picked through tests, meaning many more out there, who are asymptomatic are moving around with the virus and interacting freely.

Therefore, preventive measures must be embraced all-around so that pupils and other people are protected.

Examination classes have up to November and it is just prudent that they are taken care of so that there is no disruption to the learning process.

Yes. COVID-19 is a killer disease and should be seen as such; preventive messages must continue.

In fact, the sensitisation messages should not become monotonous, but continue reverberating in all media outlets and in public places.

Indications so far are that compliance levels are very low and this could lead to a spike, hence the need for sustained information dissemination.

$2 BILLION KAFUE GORGE POWER PLANT CONSTRUCTION ON COURSE From Page 1 Dr Kunda said the contractor working on the project which was commissioned in November 2015 had made massive progress in ensuring that it was completed within the stipulated time frame.

More than 3,000 Zambians have been employed.

He said in an interview yesterday, commissioning

Dr Kunda said the first unit would be commissioned in October, others would be commissioned in November, December and then the last one would be done in January in order for the plant to be fully operational.

The third biggest hydropower station, the Corporate

GOVERNMENT has continued to focus on empowering the poor to improve their welfare and claims that it has drifted from its pro-poor policy is false, Patriotic Front national chairperson Samuel Mukupa has said.

Mr Mukupa said even the critical period which the country was into it had not made the PF government abandon its people.

He said in an interview yesterday, the ruling party was formed on the propoor policy which it would continue to champion to improve the lives of the people.

Mr Mukupa said “PF wants to create an enabling environment for the poor to give them an opportunity to do things just the way the people in urban centres are doing.”

He said the rolling out of a robust road network was another huge empowerment drive to the poor as they were able to transport their merchandise in all designated market places.

“The poor person in Chavuma need a road network to reach to the market, those are the pro-poor policies that make change.

Pro-poor shouldn’t be that people need to line up and get money every day, no.

“Policies have to do with creating opportunities out there especially in the rural areas where the majority of our people are. So we are creating a system that helps to ensure that social services reach out everywhere.

“Pro-poor programmes are meant to take a college to Mporokoso, to Mwense for trades training so that young people can be empowered with skills which can make them able to sustain their livelihood,” Mr Mukupa said.

He said it was unfortunate that some people only wanted to be negative even when the government was trying hard to ensure that the people’s welfare was improved.

…Kambwili has mismanaged party

Mr Daka said that after realizing that the party has been mismanaged, he and his district and constituency structure officials have decided to ditch the NDC and join the ruling Patriotic Front (PF).

He said his vision and that of all party members was to see officials get to council chambers, National. Assembly and State House but that vision was now dead.

“Our vision was to see someone get to the council chambers, someone get to National Assembly and State House. We feel it was not in order for us to start following somebody who is driving us into another political party,” he said.

Nevers Mumba’s ‘sermons’ not biblical, says Rev Lungu

By KETRA KALUNGA

MMD president Nevers Mumba’s utterances do not represent the tenets of a cleric, Evangelical Youth Alliance president, Reverend Moses Lungu has said.

Rev Lungu said if the wrath of God was on this nation as purported by Dr Mumba, no one would be spared including himself unless he says he was the only perfect one.

He was reacting to Dr Mumba’s sentiments that the wrath of God was on the nation because of the witchcraft that had crippled into the corridors of power and that it was broke and broken.

But Rev Lungu said the insinuations by Dr. Mumba were ill founded because to be a Godly nation does not mean you are free from problems.

Rev. Lungu described the utterances from Dr. Mumba as unbalanced Bible teachings coming from the man of God he was.

He said it was wrong and wicked for Dr. Mumba to

Monday 3 August, 2020

insinuate that the witchcraft happenings in the country started in the last nine years that the Patriotic Front (PF) has been in power.

Rev. Lungu said witchcraft has always been there not only in Zambia but throughout the world.

"Dr Nevers Mumba should give the Zambian people a clear history of where Zambia is coming from, when the MMD was in power how many people died within its administration and rank and file, "How many people died in Chambishi from those explosives and how many people died on the roads," said Rev Lungu.

Rev. Lungu stated that God would not punish the nation for the sins of others because he desires that such people should repent and be in good standing with him.

“The fact that we are alive today is because God is full of mercy and slow to anger.”

Rev.Lungu cited the ancient nations of Babylon and Israel as some of the nations where witchcraft was highly practiced but they never experienced the wrath of God. He advised Dr. Mumba to stop the unnecessary criticism of those in authority so that he could take over but instead pray for their success as a man of God because their failures were his failures too.

"Dr. Mumba should realise that he has an obligation to pray for those in authority so that there can be peace.

This is the biblical teaching,” said Rev Lungu.

‘RECYCLED MASEBO IS FRUSTRATED’

By SILUMESI MALUMO

U

PND chairperson for mobilisation Sylvia Masebo is a frustrated soul who did nothing tangible for the people of Chongwe when entrusted with leadership and still has nothing to offer to the current political space, the Patriotic Front (PF) in Lusaka has said.

The PF also urged the UPND official to tone down because she has no moral right whatsoever to call President Edgar Lungu who has demonstrated undoubted commitment and sacrifice for Zambia as weak.

PF Lusaka Province Secretary Kennedy Kamba said Ms Masebo was just a frustrated soul who did nothing tangible for the people of Chongwe when she was their member of Parliament and a full cabinet minister for many years.

Ms Masebo served as cabinet Minister in the MMD regime, when MMD lost power in 2011 she joined the PF and she served as a cabinet minister under late president Michael Sata and also served

at chairperson for election. After the demise of Mr Sata Ms Masebo vowed not to rally behind President Edgar Lungu in 2015 and joined the UPND where she is serving as chairperson for mobilisation.

Mr Kamba said “Zambians know very well that Ms Masebo is just firing political blanks out of frustration and desperation when she calls President Lungu names because she is no longer relevant to the country's political space or its dynamics. She is simply a political failure herself despite many higher opportunities accorded to her to serve.

He was reacting to sentiments

by Ms Masebo who was quoted in some sections of the media stating that President Lungu was the weakest Head of State the country had ever had.

“We want to remind Ms Masebo that Zambians are not dull, they do not have a short memory and they are able to make sound moral judgement on individuals like her who is now in the opposition and want to claim righteous or play smart.

‘Give youths key positions to avoid political violence’

By MULENGA MUSONDA

A CIVIL Society Organisation in Choma , 'The Voice' has called on all Political Parties in the country to involve youths and offer them key positions in their parties so they can refrain from political violence.

Faith Siatubotu the Organisation's Executive Director whose mandate is to end political violence and tribalism

in the Country said instead of using youths to commit violent atrocities against political opponents, Political parties should appoint them to key positions in the parties.

"How are we going to build our youths for a better Zambia when all we can think about is to use them as pawns for political violence?"

"Paying youths, in whatever way, to engage in political violence is unwise because

the consequences will affect all of us, even the people funding and their relatives," she said.

Ms Siatubotu urged other political parties to emulate the Socialist Party that has taken strides in appointing youths in strategic positions of the party.

"I commend what the Socialist Party has done, they have created a great opportunity for the youths to learn

and be leaders because they know that they need to build the youths for a better tomorrow."

"I think all political parties should emulate this move in order to get the youths involved. This is the only way to building great leadership because youths will instead use ideas and manifestos in defeating their opponents rather than rifles and machetes," she said

igin. He wondered how Zambian entrepreneurs would invest in other countries and

later bring the wealth back in the country if they did not receive full support locally.

‘Nurture local entrepreneurs’

BY SANFROSSA MANYINDA

GOVERNMENT should nurture local entrepreneurs sufficiently so that they can grow and invest even in other countries, the Leadership Movement has advised.

The party said the need for nurturing the country's entrepreneurs could not be overemphasized as it was the only way that would take the development of the country to another level.

Leadership Movement President Richard Silumbe noted that paying a blind eye to the needs of local entrepre-

neurs would not only slow the development of the country but also show that the country was not ready for change.

"We have got local entrepreneurs who have better ideas that can help the country's economy get to higher lengths but lack of support from the Government makes them lose confidence and end up keeping these ideas to themselves," he said.

Dr Silumbe told the Daily Nation in Kitwe that Government only concentrated on promoting foreign investors who he said had already developed their countries of or-

there was a proper definition of a recycled and finished politician who wants to look relevant before the eyes of Zambians, it is Ms Masebo who has now sought refuge in the UPND. “These are the very people that brought confusion in the PF and were ejected because clearly there is no progressive ideas or ideologies that can come from politicians who have outlived their usefulness.

Mr Kamba said contrary to Ms Masebo's claims, Zambians know very well that President Lungu has demonstrated that he is a strong leader who has executed the functions of the Office of the President exceptionally well. The people of Zambia know very well that even in terms of delivering development, President Lungu has set an unprecedented record.

It's sheer lack of reason, he said, for anybody to try and ridicule a vibrant President before a well informed public that knows President Lungu very well.

He said in an interview yesterday that even on issues of morality and national values, President Lungu has done exceptionally well.

Take interest in Govt, church urged

BY KETRA KALUNGA

THE church should take keen interest in the governance of the country as partners in development, Central province minister, Sydney Mushanga has said.

Mr Mushanga, who is also Bwacha constituency Member of Parliament (MP), said Government appreciated the church's contribution in promoting the social and economic welfare of citizens.

The Minister observed that the church had been providing social services such as health and education among others.

He was speaking yesterday during the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) induction and reception service for Reverend Elijah Chisulo at Naambe Congregation, Kabwe South Consistory, Central Presbyterian.

Mr Mushanga said the church should partner with Government for the nation to achieve the much needed development and reduce poverty levels in the country.

"As Government we will continue to value the counsel of the Church's on matters of national interest because there are our partners in development," he said.

And the minister has urged the church to take advantage of the stimulus package which the Government has provided to alleviate the poverty levels in the country in the wake of COVID-19 outbreak..

He urged the newly inducted Reverend to embrace everyone for the development of the church.

And UCZ Bishop Edward Musonda urged Zambians to overlook the short comings of others especially those in leadership because all people were bound to err.

AGRO EXPORTS INCREASE

Non-Agricultural products recorded a decrease of 5.6 percent from K1, 747.7 million in May 2020 to K1,649.1 million in June 2020.

“The major export commodities were 'Bullion semi manufactured forms (Gold)' accounting for 6.8 percent', ‘Portland cement (excl. white) ' (6.0 percent) and 'Other non-alcoholic beverages' (5.9 percent),” he said.

ZAMBIA'S Non Traditional Exports (NTEs) increased by 11.3 percent in June with agricultural products taking a lead.

The country’s NTEs include sugar, cotton, coffee, soybeans, maize and tobacco.

NTEs increased by 11.3 percent to K2, 519.7 billion in June 2020 from K2, 263.3 billion in May 2020, says Zambia Statistics Agency (ZAMSTATS) Interim Statistician, Mulenga Musepa.

He said this in Lusaka through ZAMSTATS Assistant Director for economics, Joseph Tembo, when announcing the Monthly Bulletin for July which took place via webinar.

“During June 2020, Agricultural NTEs increased by 68.8 percent while Non-Agricultural NTEs decreased by

5.6 percent.

“Agricultural products accounted for a share of 34.6 percent of Zambia’s NTEs in June 2020 compared to 22.8 percent recorded in May 2020,” Mr Musepa said.

He explained that the export earnings from agricultural products increased by 68.8 percent from K515.

He indicated that the ma-

The major export commodities were raw cane sugar accounting for 21.8 percent, tobacco which was not stripped (17.1 percent) and groats and meal of maize corn (6.0 percent).

SMUGGLERS should stop importing goods illegally into Zambia and start adhering to international trade laws as their activities are detrimental to the country’s economic development.

In a EuroMonitor report of 2018, it was revealed that tax revenue losses through illicit alcohol market, in Zambia increased from US$50 million in 2014 to US $145 million in 2018, the largest contributing factor being smuggling.

Smuggling robs the country of the much needed revenue, says Zambian Breweries Country Director, Jose Moran.

Mr Moran stressed that smuggling was detrimental to Zambia’s economic development and called for an end to such illegal act.

“Smuggling is not only illegal, but robs the country of the much needed revenue for economic development. So, stop smuggling, and start adhering to international trade laws,” he said in a statement.

Mr Moran therefore commended the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) for its spirited fight against smuggling of alcohol into the country.

He said his company was proud of the revenue collector for championing the war against the illegal movement of alcohol and other goods.

Mr Moran noted that Zambian Breweries stood together with ZRA in condemning smuggling in Zambia.

In the last week of July, 2020, the ZRA fought running battles with smugglers at COMESA market in Lusaka after it intercepted a truck carrying smuggled alcohol.

“We are delighted that ZRA has taken the bold step of clamping down on this illegal activity. It is not an easy fight, but it is a praiseworthy move,” he noted.

The country director also urged ZRA to continue fighting the illegal activity for the betterment of the country.

“Our country depends on you for timely revenue collection. Please continue doing what you do best and we shall all win this war against smuggling,” he said.

Earlier in the month, the authority destroyed various illegally imported goods valued at more than K1 million at Chirundu One-StopBorder-Post.

THE ROLE OF ICT IN SERVICE DELIVERY: ...the future of the education sector

BY ESTHER NYEMBA BESA PMRC Researcher

T

HE Zambian Government through the Seventh National Development Plan (7NDP) have identified the important role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in service delivery as part of its e-governance agenda.

According to the 7NDP, ICTs are a catalyst for socio-economic development as they promote competitiveness and are an enabler of good governance.

Though ICTs over the years have been adopted slowly by Government into the e-governance agenda compared to other countries in sub Saharan Africa, Zambia has focussed on gradually developing ICTs to spur growth in

the digital economy through technologies such as mobile phones, broadband internet and computers which have changed the way people work and access services in the Health, Agriculture, Education and Financial sectors.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers and learners have had to adapt to a world of almost universal online education that solely relies on ICT infrastructure as nearly 94% of all learners have faced closures and disruptions to their school calendar.

In the education sector, Zambian schools have over the years adopted the use of computers, projectors, photocopiers and other related ICT equipment by both teachers and learners.

The adoption of ICTs in the sector has occurred on two levels.

The first has been the introduction of computer studies as part of the curriculum for learners as a subject and the second level was the introduction of ICTs training in tertiary institutions for teachers as a way of

The objectives of using ICTs in the education system in Zambia has been to improve and expand access to education, training and research

facilitating for better knowledge transfer to learners.

One of the objectives of using ICTs in the education system in Zambia has been to improve and expand access to education, training and research but this process has not been without challenges as schools acquire and roll-out use of ICT equipment in various levels of teaching and learning.

There are a large number of initiatives that are using ICTs in an attempt to improve the quality of school education.

Whereas, children in urban areas have more access to laptops and the internet in schools and at home, children in rural areas are faced with a severe digital divide exacerbated by poor access to electricity and poverty.

Some of the challenges this process has faced stem from inadequate computers for use among learners leading to a higher computer-learner ratio, lack of infrastructure to support delivery of subjects and in some instances other schools use

semi-functional computer laboratories. Another huge challenge is that of internet connectivity especially in rural areas while in urban areas the sustenance of the internet services is difficult due to budget constraints.

Zambia’s current mobile broadband penetration currently stands at 51.3% while fixed internet penetration is 0.5% (ZICTA Q1-2020) In order to actualise the e-governance agenda of improved service delivery in the education sector, the Government is urged to prioritize the formulation and implementation of an ICT policy which will guide implementation of efforts to improve ICTs in schools such as funding for ICTs equipment and infrastructure as well as teacher training for better delivery of subjects in schools.

In conclusion, the use of ICTs in the education sector may not be the solution for all the challenges that are currently faced in the education sector, many challenges still remain in ensuring universal access to education.

However, the continued implementation of ICT education in both rural and urban areas in Zambia presents a great opportunity for the nation to have greater access to information and communication platforms that can foster new and better skills for the young generation and this will enable Zambia to make use of, contribute to and create international information platforms. In order for Zambian schools to derive the benefits that come with the use of ICTs in schools, serious financial commitment and implementation frameworks are required especially for girls and other vulnerable groups to guarantee them successful ICT skills acquisition and quality education in order for them to be easily competitive in the global labour market.

More Covid-19 tax relief …Mboweni to ask Parliament for extension on Covid-19 tax relief measures

J

OHANNESBURG - South Africa lost more in tax revenue in the first threeand-half months of its fiscal year than it borrowed from the International Monetary Fund and the African Development Bank (AfDB) combined.

A lockdown that initially shuttered almost all economic activity led to an under-recovery of R82 billion for the fiscal year through July 15, South African Revenue Service Commissioner Edward Kieswetter said in an interview.

Lockdown rules and allowances to cushion businesses against their impact contributed to the drop in income. Relief measures included a deferral of payroll

Meanwhile, the sale of tobacco products has been prohibited for four months and the government reinstated a similar ban on alcohol sales from July 13.

JOHANNESBURG – Finance Minister Tito Mboweni will ask Parliament’s standing committee on finance to have certain Covid-19 tax relief measures extended, National Treasury said in a statement.

Treasury and the South African Revenue Service have published four draft tax bills for public comment. These comments are to be received by the organisations by August 31.

The Covid-19 Tax Bills, however, which were introduced in Parliament during the tabling of the supplementary budget in June, make tax provisions which are over and above the other four bills.

Treasury and SARS have provided R70 billion in tax relief measures to cushion the blow of the pandemic, by improving cash flows of households and businesses over a four-month period. Some of these measures came into effect on April 1 and May 1, and were due to end on July 31 and August 31, respectively.

Having considered written public comments and presentations by stakeholders at public hearings hosted by the standing and select committees of finance, the minister of finance, will in terms of the Money Bills Amendment Procedure Act, request extensions on three measures from the standing committee of finance, according to Treasury.

The measures are: Streamlined special tax dispensation for funds established to assist with Covid-19 disaster relief efforts.

Deferral of payment of employees tax liability, for compliant small and medium-sized businesses: A 90-day deferral for the payment of excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco.

Treasury said additional proposals aimed at reducing the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, but which are not already included in the Covid-19 tax bills, will be considered based on their impact on the fiscal framework approved by Parliament, among other criteria. – FIN24.

and Zimbabwe Zhongxin Electrical Energy (430MW).

Most of these projects are expected to start running from 2023.

Also on the way is a coal bed methane (CBM) power plant for which the government expects to sign a deal for the construction of a 450MW power station before the end of August.

Plans are also at an advanced stage for the establishment of a 2, 100MW power station in Binga, but modalities of this project are still being worked.

Government’s calculations premised on 7 US cents kwh are rather conservative considering the energy deficit that is expected to hit Southern Africa in the medium to longterm.

Already South Africa, the region’s economic and industrial powerhouse, is experiencing power outages, a situation that is expected to push power prices up.

The region is also experiencing a steady increase in industrial productivity which has seen the World Bank projecting demand for electricity to increase by 40 PV percent over the next 10 years.

SADC member states, among other strategies, are being encouraged to cooperate on electricity usage and development and promote power pooling and trade.

THE Ministry of Labour and Social Security should take keen interest in the welfare of employees at Nkandabwe and Maamba Collieries Mine in Sinazongwe, an aspiring parliamentary candidate has said.

Boston Muzyamba said labour inspectors and other officials should regularly check on the welfare of employees at the two mines in Sinazongwe district. Mr Muzyamba noted with concern that workers at the two mines were being underpaid and subjected to poor conditions of service.

He told the Daily Nation in an interviewsthat with the current economic challenges, workers needed to be well taken care off. Zambian labour laws, he said, were being flouted with impunity by management at the two miming companies in Sinazongwe.

"If a worker miss work for a day, the company multiplies that by three times and deduct from the little salaries they are paid.

Even the contracts workers are being subjected to are not good. We need the Ministry of Labour to move in," he said.

Monze chiefs want new district created

By ANDREW MUKOMA THREE traditional leaders in Monze District have appealed to President Edgar Lungu to consider creating a new district in their chiefdoms in honour of the late freedom fighter Mainza Chona.

Chiefs Mwanza, Ufwenuka, and Chona also contended that their areas had lagged behind in development as most Government programmes were skewed towards three other chiefdoms in Monze.

The traditional leaders were speaking during a meeting with hundreds of village headmen and senior Government officials at Napeyo school grounds yesterday.

Chief Chona argued that the late Mainza Chona who held key Government positions including that of Republican Vice-President, contributed immensely to the liberation of the country and deserved to be honoured just like other freedom fighters.

He noted that other freedom fighters like Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula, Simon Mwana Kapwepwe among others had been honoured through naming of key infrastructure.

The traditional leader appealed to President Lungu to do the same in honour of the late Chona by creating a new District in his name.

Monze District Commissioner, Munachoongo Muleya, said she was aware of cries for more developmental projects in the district and that she was up to the task as long as people were ready to work with the Government.

UPND has lost grip in West - PF official

By ANDREW MUKOMA

IT is a well known fact that UPND has lost grip in Western Province hence the need for the opposition party to accept the results from the just ended local government by-elections, Livingstone PF aspiring candidate Ikuka Muleta hรกs said.

Mr Muleta said that the earlier UPND accepted the crushing defeat the better.

He said that the PF had gained momentum in Western Province and that the popularity was now spreading to the Southern Province.

Mr Muleta was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation in Livingstone shortly after donating mealie meal, cooking oil, kapenta and beans to elderly and vulnerable citizens in Kashitu Compound of Simonga ward.

He said that it had always been expected of the PF to perform well because of unprecedented development rolled out to all parts of the country.

Mr Muleta said it was now in the public domain and common knowledge that the ruling party was the party for all Zambians.

He said with the current support the party was receiving in Western Province, PF was sure of scooping majority seats at parliamentary level in 2021. Mr Muleta also noted the need for all those aiming higher positions to begin to plough back into the respective communities before being elected into office.

By KETRA KALUNGA

T

Executive director, Godfrey Malembeka, said in an interview that his organization feared that the ex-inmates were likely to be stigmatised if they applied for the scheme through the WDCs. Dr Malembeka said Government should come up with a committee to be chaired by members from the ministry, Zambia Correctional Service and civil society

organizations that promote the welfare of inmates and ex-inmates.

“We lobbied from the ministry of community development and social services and the latest response we received was this year.

“The Government seems to be ready but we have a problem with their suggestion, the problem we have is stigma and

discrimination, so they are not treated well, there is no reception,” he said.

He said if the programme for ex-inmate was managed

by Zambia Correctional Service, Ministry of Community Development and Social Services and organisations such as PRISCCA, it would be well coordinated.Dr Malembeka added that the committee would

help ex-inmates to effectively implement the skills learnt while in the correctional facilities. “Ex-inmates especially those who have spent many years in prison and the President pardons them, among them are very old people, they are always lost, they are disconnected so they are poorer than the people that are outside,” he said.

"We call upon political groupings, civil society organisations, faith-based organisations and traditional authorities to take keen interest in voter registration and encourage the general populace to register as voters," Mr Mwanza said.

He said sensitisation on voter registration should be done proactively as opposed to waiting for the exercise to commence or during the voter registration exercise.

Universal Tractor Oil - a special gift for farmers (Happy farmers’ day. Thank you for feeding us. We are proud of you)

By JOHNSTONE CHIKWANDA

S

UPER Tractor Universal Oil (STOU) is a special gift for farmers. The oil, also known as multi-purpose agricultural lubricant is built with an avalanche of remarkable and rare combination of properties meant to solve most engine, transmission, hydraulic system, wet brakes and immersed clutches lubrication needs with one type of oil.

In other words, this oil can be used as engine oil, transmission oil, hydraulic oil and in the brake system in a tractor. You cannot find

this kind of combination for other vehicles and monetary savings.

Some farmers are already using this oil while others are not aware of it. This oil represents the best form of rationalization in that it is virtually used in all tractor applications. The farmer does not need to stock all sorts of lubricants to lubricate different systems of his tractors. Indeed, this is a gorgeous gift from the engineering world in conjunction with oil marketing companies. The oil, an API 20W/40 or 15W/40 (API stands for American Petroleum Institute; API develops standards for classifying engine oils according to their performance), is a multigrade combing abilities to with stand winter conditions and summer conditions without drastic loss of original viscosity (thickness) status.

When analyzed as engine oil, this oil is an SAE 20W/40 in most cases. When

manded and stringent requirements of most Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for tractors such as Massey Ferguson, Ford and John Deere. With only one type of oil for all these applications, great savings and rewards are guaranteed for a discerning farmer.

It is designed to maximize the protection of agricultural equipment, thereby reducing maintenance costs, down time and extending the equipment’s running life. It is amazing that a single product can be used to practically meet most of a farmer’s equipment lubrication requirements. Some of the outstanding benefits are as follows: • Reducing stock holding costs • Reducing the possibility of an incorrect lubricant being used • Cuts down space used to store lubricants • It is very convenient • Increased service life of the lubricant • Extended component life • Prevent ring sticking and breakage • Ensures clean and effi-

cient engine operation • Excellent detergency / dispersancy additives • Excellent anti-oxidant properties and thermal stability • Corrosion preventative additives • Excellent shear stability ensuring “Stay – in – grade” feature • Readily available in 5 litre pails, 20 litre pails, and 210 litre drums from leading Oil Marketing Companies.

• It can also be used as petrol engine oil where an old specification of API SF quality is approved.

STOU evolved out of the general – purpose tractor hydraulic fluids (THF), which catered for all non – engine lubrication requirement of farm machinery. An STOU adds engine lubrication to the requirements and provides a general – purpose farm lubricant to use in all vehicle engines, transmissions and hydraulic systems of tractors.

oil when it is cold and again changing when is hot, multigrade oil was developed. Before its development, it was a nightmare.

When temperature became wickedly low, one would use winter lubricants such as SAE 15W and when temperatures became high; one would drain the winter oil and use a summer lubricant such as SAE 40.

This was costly and very inconveniencing; hence the birth of multi-grades. Single grades such as SAE 40 are called mono-grades. In the case of multi-grade oil, the first number indicates the viscosity at low or winter

Super Tractor Oil Universal is meant to be the farmer’s first choice oil where specification for an STOU permits.

Just in case you need a bit more explanation on multigrade oil; multi-grade lubricants are designated by two numbers on an oil container usually written just after the abbreviation SAE (SAE stands for Society of Automotive Engineers). In the case of Supper Tractor Oil Universal; when used in the engine, the oil behaves like an SAE 15W/ 40 or SAE 20W/40. In order to avoid the challenges of changing

temperature and the second indicates viscosity at high temperature. When multigrades are used, the need to drain and replace with oil suitable for a particular season is eliminated.

Further elaboration; when this oil is put in the transmission system for instance gear box, it behaves like an EP SAE 85W/90. Never mind about the nomenclature; EP stands for Extreme Pressure. It is a special type

15W/40

The oil, an API 20W/40 or 15W/40 (API stands for American Petroleum Institute; API develops standards for classifying engine oils according to their performance). of additive that is added to base oil when blending gear oil. It is meant to ensure that when gears mesh, a lubricant film is supposed to separate metal to metal contact no matter the pressure. Without this additive, when gears mesh such as when you engage the gear, the oil film between the gear teeth would be splashed out thereby causing direct metal to metal contact, and giving birth to a recipe for a costly disaster.

Indeed, Super Tractor Oil Universal is meant to be the farmer’s first choice oil where specification for an STOU permits. If your agricultural equipment specifies an STOU, this is the lubricant to look for. For those farmers with latest Tractors or Combine Harvesters requiring a API GL 5 for gears and an advanced API specification, please contact leading Oil Marketing Companies. I believe they have something for oil. Cut lubrication costs by sustaining a consolidation strategy.

The Road Development Agency (RDA) now invite bids from eligible and qualified firms for the Provision of External Audit Services to the Road Development Agency for the years 2020, 2021 & 2022. The External Auditors will be required to undertake a statutory audit which requires an independent examination of books of accounts in order to express an opinion on the financial statements for the years 2020, 2021 & 2022.

Commissioner (DC) Chileshe Bweupe said the district was faced with a lot of challenges ranging from shortage of transport to old and leaking infrastructure like offices.

Mr Bweupe said while his office has two drivers, it only has one vehicle and the District Administrative Officer (DAO) has no vehicle and only uses initiatives to carry out his duties. ''Honourable Minister, you have done well to visit Kitwe so that you can appreciate our challenges.

Our challenges range from lack of transport to old infrastructure which has leaking roofs. ''Kitwe is second to Lusaka in terms of population and size and we hope that your coming here will change things for the better ,'' Mr Bweupe said.

Rotary Club wants more youths in growth projects

INVITATION FOR BIDS

The Road Development Agency (RDA) in its 2020 AWP has set aside funds for eligible payments towards the Provision of External Audit Services to the Road Development Agency for the years 2020, 2021 & 2022.

Some councillors were implicated in the illegal sale of land near the facility.

Ms Chalikosa said her ministry in collaboration with the Ministry of Lands and that of Local Government would work together to protect state land. ''There has been a lot of encroachment cases on state property and in order to stop this encroachment, we will put all State Property on title. This will not only avoid encroachment its land, but also ensure maximum protection from various forms of vandalism,” He said.

Recently, Local Government Permanent Secretary Ed Chomba warned that there should be no construction works within 250 metre from the Presidential Lodge.

And Kitwe District

THE youth must be conscientised to understand that a good world begins with them hence the need for them start participating in community projects and join clubs, Newly-installed Rotary Club of Kitwe North President Patrick Chilambwe has said.

Dr Chilambwe said the Rotary Club of Kitwe North would take up the challenge and open the doors of the Rotary club for Rotaractors and young professionals to exploit their leadership potential and contribute in helping the vulnerable He was speaking at the weekend in Kitwe during the Presidential reception statement and unveiling of the new club officers for Rotary Year 2020-2021. ‘’As a Rotary Club, let us take up the challenge and open the doors of Rotary for Rotaractors and young professionals. Young people must be made aware or educated that a good World begins with them. ‘’In this case, they need to participate in young leaders’ clubs like the Rotaract club and other noble ventures where they can exploit their opportunities,’’ Dr Chilambwe said.

Dr Chilambwe said one of the Rotary Club number one challenges this year was for every town to have a vibrant Rotary Club, adding that there was need to have more impetus and vivacity. ‘’We all agree that we need to grow Rotary , but

sometimes we can get caught up in the numbers game and lose sight of the bigger picture.

After all, an increase in membership is meaningless if next year those new members leave. ‘’Let us grow Rotary sustainably. Rotary’s flexible options for participation will engage members and show the community how we are different from any other club,’’ he said. He said, for more than 110 years, the Rotary’s people of action have used their passion, energy, and intelligence to take action on sustainable projects. ‘’From literacy and peace to water and health, we are always working to better our World, and we stay committed to the end. The aim with anything that the club does should be based on the core principle that we add value to anything that we get involved in. ‘’This means that we must take the time to understand the needs of the people that approach us for assistance, we measure them, and we satisfy ourselves that if we do give help, it will add value,’’ he said.

He said the year 2020 has brought monumental changes that have already included a global pandemic and a renewed call for social justice ‘’It is encouraging to note that despite the pandemic, the Rotary has not stopped but has been very innovative and ingenious in coming up with new ways to meet and serve,’’ he said

CORONAVIRUS: SOUTH AFRICA VIRUS CASES PASS HALF MILLION MARK

MORE than half a million coronavirus cases have been confirmed in South Africa, according to the country’s health minister.

Zwelini Mkhize announced 10,107 new cases on Saturday, bringing the tally to 503,290, along with 8,153 deaths.

South Africa is the hardest-hit country on the continent and accounts for half of all reported infections in Africa.

It also has the fifth-highest number of cases in the world after the US, Brazil, Russia and India.

Researchers have said the true number of deaths in the country may be far higher.

South African health authorities have said the rate of infection is increasing rapidly, with cases currently concentrated around the capital, Pretoria.

South Africa’s outbreak: Eight lessons for the rest of the continent More than a third of all infections have been reported in Gauteng - South Africa’s financial hub, and a province that has quickly become the epicentre of the national outbreak.

Barakah: UAE starts up Arab world’s first nuclear plant The United Arab Emirates has launched operations at the Arab world’s first nuclear power plant, on the Gulf coast just east of Qatar.

Nuclear fission has begun in one of four reactors at the Barakah plant, which uses South Korean technology.

The plant was expected to open in 2017 but the start-up was repeatedly delayed because of various safety issues.

The oil-rich UAE wants Barakah to meet a quarter of its energy needs, as it adopts more sustainable energy sources.

Just two weeks ago the UAE sent a probe on a mission to Mars - another high-profile scientific first for the Gulf nation.

The UAE is also investing heavily in solar power - a plentiful energy source in the Gulf. Some energy experts question the logic of Barakah - which means “blessing” in Arabic.

They argue that solar power is cleaner, cheaper and makes more sense in a region plagued by political tensions and terrorism. Last year Qatar called the Barakah plant a “flagrant threat to regional peace and environment”. Qatar is a bitter regional rival of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Across the Gulf lies Iran, hostile to the UAE, and subject to US sanctions because of its controversial nuclear programme.

Dr Paul Dorfman, head of the international Nuclear Consulting Group, wrote last year that “the tense geopolitical environment in the Gulf makes nuclear a more controversial issue in this region than elsewhere, as new nuclear power provides the capability to develop and make nuclear weapons”. - BBC

President Cyril Ramaphosa

Infections are not expected to peak for another month.

South Africa imposed a strict lockdown in April and May that slowed the spread of the coronavirus.

It began a gradual reopening in June but restrictions - including a ban on alcohol sales - were reintroduced last month as infection rates began to rise again. A state of emergency is also in force until 15 August.

The influx of patients has put an incredible strain on South Africa’s hospitals, and a BBC investigation found an array of systematic failures that had exhausted healthcare professionals and brought the health service near to collapse.

President Cyril Ramaphosa said last month that 28,000 hospital beds had been made available for Covid-19 patients but the country still faced a “serious” shortage of doctors and nurses.

Last week the World Health Organization warned that South Africa’s experience was a likely a precursor to what would happen across the rest of the continent. - BBC

In Africa, stigma surrounding coronavirus hinders response KAMPALA - After 23 days in quarantine in Uganda — far longer than required — Jimmy Spire Ssentongo walked free in part because of a cartoon he drew.

It showed a bound prisoner begging for liberation after multiple negative tests, while a health minister demanded to know where he was hiding the virus.

“The impression was that we were a dangerous group and that what was necessary was to protect the rest of society from us,” said Ssentongo, a cartoonist for Uganda’s Observer newspaper who was put in quarantine when he returned from Britain in March.

The fear he describes is indicative of the dangerous stigma that has sprung up around the coronavirus in Africa — fueled, in part, by severe and sometimes arbitrary quarantine rules as well as insufficient information about the virus. But with testing in Africa limited by supply shortages and some health workers going without proper protective gear, fear of the virus on

the continent as it approaches 1 million confirmed infections is hindering the ability to control it in many places — and also discouraging people from seeking care for other diseases.

The way people were treated early in this pandemic is “just like the way, early on in the HIV epidemic, patients were being treated,” Salim Abdool Karim, an epidemiologist who chairs South Africa’s Covid-19 ministerial advisory committee, told a World Health Organization event last month. People with HIV were often shunned by their own families, and reports of health workers refusing to care for them were common in the 1990s.

Now, some people avoid testing for the coronavirus “because if they test, they’re ostracized,” Karim said.

Or simply locked away. Ssentongo, who was released from quarantine on the 24th day after testing negative three times, told The Associated Press that he and others were poorly treated at the facility, a hotel.

Like him, many were held for far longer than the required 14 days, and he saw some bribe their way out. He was among those that went on hunger strikes in a bid to be freed.

“It was dehumanizing,” said Ssentongo, who also noted that there was no social distancing at the facility, and medical workers were rarely seen and inconsistent in their efforts to control the virus. A medical team once took a woman suspected of having the virus from her room and sprayed her with disinfectant, but ignored her partner. In neighbouring Kenya, people in quarantine reported similar poor treatment and discrimination.

At one facility, those inside said their money was rejected by the staff and the surrounding community when they tried to buy food, according to a Human Rights Watch report in May. At another, kitchen staff sometimes declined to serve them, forcing a security guard to bring the food.

President Donald Trump

Coronavirus: Media to be barred from Trump election nomination THE US Republican Party’s vote to nominate its presidential candidate this month will be held in private, without press in attendance.

A Republican National Convention spokeswoman gave coronavirus health guidelines as the reason, the Associated Press reports. Delegates are due to gather in North Carolina to formally renominate President Donald Trump.

The 336 delegates will meet on 24 August in the city of Charlotte.

They will cast proxy votes for some 2,500 official delegates.

Mr Trump is the party’s sole remaining nominee, and his renomination will officially launch his re-election bid.

The party was “working within the parameters set before us by state and local guidelines regarding the number of people who can attend events”, the spokeswoman said. The decision marks a significant change for the convention, which historically has worked to draw media attention to spread party messaging to the public.

Mr Trump had switched the location of the convention to Jacksonville, Florida, after the Democratic governor of North Carolina insisted in May on limiting the crowd size at the convention, on the grounds of social distancing.

But Mr Trump later scrapped the Florida convention, blaming the state’s coronavirus “flare-up”. - BBC

Kenya Airways resumes international flights after virus curbs lifted NAIROBI - Kenya Airways resumed international flights on Saturday, heading to about 30 destinations for the first time since the routes were suspended in March due to the coronavirus.

The carrier, in which Air France KLM holds a small stake, resumed domestic flights in mid-July after the government cleared local air travel.

“We announced we are starting with 27 destinations, we increased it to 30 just following demand,” Allan Kilavuka, the airline’s chief executive officer, said during a ceremony ahead of seeing off a flight to London.

He said for the rest of the year the airline expected demand to remain below 50 percent of capacity, but it would increase flight frequencies

depending on demand.

“In fact 2020, we call it a lost year. Because at some point we even see demand of 25 percent in some months, in some months we see 38 percent,” he later told Reuters.

The Covid-19 pandemic has depressed the global aviation industry, with African carriers alone expected to lose $6 billion this year in revenue.

In July, Kenya Airways said it would lay off an unspecified number of workers, reduce its network and offload some assets due to the coronavirus crisis.

Kilavuka said so far the company had laid off some 650 people, mostly trainee pilots, trainee cabin crew, technician trainees and newly hired staff on probation.

The airline was struggling long before the coronavirus outbreak, posting 2019 losses of almost $120 million.

Last month the Nairobi Securities Exchange suspended trading of Kenya Airways shares for three months, citing the government’s plan to restructure the carrier, after it submitted to parliament a draft law on nationalising the airline. – REUTERS.

Aubameyang leads Arsenal to FA Cup triumph Mikel Arteta hopes PierreEmerick Aubameyang will stay at Arsenal to lead the Gunners to more success after scoring twice to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup final on Saturday.

Arsenal captain Aubameyang dropped the trophy before lifting his first piece of silverware since moving to English football from Borussia Dortmund two and a half years ago.

Victory secured Arsenal’s place in the Europa League next season as they risked missing out on European football for the first time in 25 years after finishing eighth in the Premier League.

But with Aubameyang facing another season without Champions League football and just one year left on his contract at the Emirates, the Gabon international has been linked with a move away this

summer.

“He needs more experience with trophies. We can get him used to that,” joked Arteta at Aubameyang’s mishap with the trophy lift.

“He knows what I think about him, I want to build a squad around him.”

“I think he wants to stay, it is about getting the deal done.

“I think moments like that will help to realise and give him belief that we are in the right path and he is a big part of it.”

Arteta also played his part to win a trophy in his first season in a senior managerial role after Chelsea made a blistering start in the eerie surroundings of an empty Wembley.

The Blues had already achieved their primary goal from Frank Lampard’s first season in charge by securing a place in next season’s Champions League last weekend and started confidently as Christian Pulisic’s composed finish opened the scoring just five minutes in.

“We started well for 10-15 minutes and we can only blame ourselves form that point,” said Lampard. “We got complacent, we took time on the ball like it was a stroll and we allowed them into the game.” -BBC

NKANA NOT GIVING UP From page 20 “We are at 47 points, NAPSA are on 48 so if they can win the last game there will still be a point deference but if anything happens to NAPSA and we win the last game, we will win the league,” Chakatazya said.

“The draw against Arrows is not a good result for us but the boys fought coming from 2-0 down to get a draw which is a very good fight and not blaming anyone but if you look at our team, four players were knocked out because of Covid-19 which we didn’t have control of,” Chakatazya said.

Meanwhile, Nkana football club fans have raise K33,000 to be given to players if they manage to win the long awaited 13th Zambia Premier League title.

Fans representative, Kapasa Wakapasa is confident that the Kitwe giants will scoop the FAZ Super Division set to come to a close on 7th August despite having recorded a draw against Arrows. He urged players to forget about the stalemate against Red Arrows and focus on their final fixture against relegation bound Nakambala Leopards.

Kapasa said players should not see the K33,000 pledge as pressure but as a motivating factor for the team to achieve greatness this season.

Drogba submits candidacy to become Ivory Coast FA president Didier Drogba drew a large crowd on Saturday eager to watch him submit his candidacy before the deadline for next month’s Ivory Coast Football Federation elections.

The 42-year-old former African Footballer of the Year is one of four candidates seeking the presidency of the West African country’s football association.

But he is still not certain to be on the ballot for the 5 September vote.

On top of needing nominations from three of the 14 Ligue 1 clubs and two from the lower divisions, Drogba must have the endorsement of any of five special interest groups: coaches, doctors, current and former players and

referees.

They have not all made public who they are backing, and the candidates are first vetted by an electoral commission before qualifying to stand in the elections.

That outcome is expected to take five days, a federation spokesman said.

Drogba had until 5pm local time to submit his candidacy and was eagerly followed as he arrived at the Ivorian federation’s offices in a presidential-style convoy of cars. “Football is everyone’s sport, football brings people together, football unites. We can see it today with all these people gathered in front of the headquarters of the Ivorian football federation,” Drogba told reporters.

Drogba played in three World Cups with the Ivory Coast and twice helped them to the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, also earning cult status among fans for his exploits with Chelsea in the Premier League and Champions League.

LEAGUE DRAMA ENSUES AS 2 TEAMS QUARANTINED

…as Nkwazi stun Mufulira Wanderers

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

THERE was drama at Edwin Imboela Stadium in Lusaka and Mazabuka Stadium in Southern Province yesterday when Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy (KYSA) and Nakambala Leopards FC failed to show up for their week26 MTN/FAZ Super Division fixtures against Green Buffaloes and Zanaco FC respectively.

Buffaloes who were scheduled to host KYSA were shocked to find out that the Kabwe based Super Division outfit had not travelled for the game while Zanaco who travelled to Mazabuka were left wondering what was going on after finding the stadium locked with the home team nowhere to be seen.

However according to a letter obtained

by Daily Nation Sports and signed by From page 20 Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas also punctured, two laps earlier, which dropped him out of the points.

The Finn finished 11th and dropped to 30 points behind Hamilton in the title race, a potentially devastating blow to his hopes so early in a season truncated by the coronavirus.

McLaren’s Carlos Sainz was a third driver to suffer a left-front puncture, his like Hamilton’s on the last lap, and he dropped from fourth place to 13th.

Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc was promoted from fourth to the final podium spot by the late drama.

The drama started with Bottas suffering a puncture to his Mercedes with two laps to go It was a remarkable finish to a race that had been soporific until that point, and Hamilton recognised that afterwards, saying over the radio, his voice drenched in relief: “That was close.”

The Mercedes drivers had been nursing their tyres after making an earlier than expected pit stop because of the second of two safety cars.

They stopped to change from medium to hard tyres on lap 13, very early to make it to the

Central Province Provincial Health Director Kennedy Kabuswe, KYSA was advised to go into self-quarantine after nine players were found to be Covid-19 positive.

“I wish to inform you that the entire Kabwe Youth Soccer Academy football Club should be under self-quarantine following the testing positive to covid 19 by nine football players and officials in your camp.

“The self-quarantine of your football team will only be lifted after the affected players and officials have tested negative to the second testing,” Kabuswe said in the later dated July 20.

Meanwhile, in the only game played yesterday at Shinde Stadium in Mufulira, relegation bound Mighty Mufulira Wanderers were stunned 1-0 by High flying Nkwazi FC. Davy Kalandanya’s first half strike was all the police sponsored Nkwazi needed to

fly high at Shinde Stadium which could not accommodate Mighty’s passionate fans as the games are being played behind closed doors.

Despite having no access to the stadium, some fans were seen following the game from the tall trees outside Shinde Stadium.

The win propelled Nkwazi to 12th on the 18-team Super League table with 31 points while Mighty maintained 17th position on the log with 14 points.

Today’s league action will see Perry Mutapa guiding Power Dynamos when they face his former team Forest Rangers who are in serious contention for the Super League title.

Rangers will face Power Dynamos knowing that a win will propel them to the summit of the Super League table dominated by NAPSA Stars who are on 48 points.

Lewis Hamilton wins British Grand Prix after puncture on last lap

Lewis Hamilton won despite a puncture Photograph: 2020 Pool end of the race on one set of hard tyres. They were clearly managing their pace from then on, but despite that dark rings appeared on their tyres as the race moved into the closing stages.

But there was no real sign of

the drama to come until Bottas’ left front tyre deflated shortly after starting lap 50, with two to go.

The Finn limped around almost an entire lap and was too far back to get into the points.

Hamilton looked then to be

cruising to the flag, until he too suffered a puncture, this time heading down the back straight towards Brooklands. Then it was a question of whether he could get around the remainder of the lap - more than half of it - before Verstappen caught him. -BBC

NKANA NOT GIVING UP

…as fans raise K33,000 boost for 13th title fight

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

N

KANA Football Club Chief Executive Officer, Charles Chakatazya says the Kitwe giants are still in contention to scoope the long awaited 13th MTN/FAZ Super Division title.

Speaking in an interview after witnessing `Kalampa’ come from 2-0 down to secure a point following a 2-2 stalemate against Red Arrows on Saturday, Chakatazya said Nkana will fight for maximum points in their last fixture to win the league.

Chakatazya said a draw against Red Arrows was a positive result for Nkana despite

having missed out on a chance to claim top position on the Super League table.

He said the team was affected by the four positive cases of Covid-19 recorded prior to facing Arrows but the available players fought hard to get a darw after going 2-0 down.

He said the stalemate against Arrows was not disappointing because they managed to get a point away from home.

“We haven’t lost out on the title because we still have one game to play against Nakambala Leopards. If you look at the league table, you find that we still have a chance to win the league.

Lewis Hamilton wins British Grand Prix after puncture on last lap Lewis Hamilton took an extraordinary victory in a dramatic finish to the British Grand Prix despite suffering a puncture on the last lap.

The Mercedes driver’s left-front tyre failed halfway around the last lap but he held on in front of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.

Verstappen would have won had he not stopped late for fresh tyres in a successful quest for the point for fastest lap.
