48 houses arrests loom - ACC

By AARON CHIYANZO

INVESTIGATIONS into the mysterious 48 (51) houses in Chalala have been completed and arrests are to be effected as soon as the Director of Public Prosecution gives consent.

Anti- Corruption Commission (ACC) corporate Manager, Timothy Moono has revealed that investigations which established allegations bordering on corrupt acquisition of property reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime against known suspects of the 48, now 51 houses, had been completed.

The properties, he said, are reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime against known suspects of the 48, now 51 houses. “ Once Consent is given, the Commission will proceed to arrest the suspects,” he said.

And Mr Moono said that the Commission had not received any letter from the alleged initial owner of the forfeited properties, Charles Loyana, a senior accountant in the Ministry of Finance demanding to be given back the said houses.

He said contrary to speculations, there was no error on the proposed sub-division the Commission publicized.

Mr Moono said since

the flats sit on a parent title, sub-divisions were proposed but were yet to be approved by the Ministry of Lands and that to date, the said sub-divisions had not been given plot numbers.

He however said if Mr Loyana wishes to pursue the matter, he could only do so through the Courts of Law as the forfeiture proceedings were completed.

“Kindly note that the said flats sit on a parent title. Sub-divisions were proposed but they were yet to be approved by the Ministry of Lands. To date, the said sub-divisions have not been given plot numbers,” said Mr Moono.

Daily Nation investigations early this year revealed that the owner of the 48 (51) bought the initial plot where the houses sit in 2013 from the developer of the housing project. The Daily Nation also discovered that between 2013 and 2015 the owner of the house paid K1, 060, 000 cash in crisp banknotes from the Bank of Zambia for two sets of properties on which he built the controversial 51 houses.

The receipts were presented to ACC. However, when interrogated Mr Loyana allegedly denied owning the houses.

Mr Loyana was represented in the matter

FDD chiefs confirm receiving convention petition

By PETER SICHALI FORUM for Democracy and Development (FDD) has received petitions from provincial chairpersons over its failure to hold a national convention ahead of the 2021 general elections.

FDD spokesperson Yotam Mtayachalo said the national secretary has received the petitions and that it was within the chairpersons’ rights to air their grievances on party matters.

Mr Mtayachalo said the national secretary has confirmed receiving the signed petitions from provincial chairpersons for an urgent national policy committee meeting at which the leaders want the convention and mobilisation to be discussed in readiness for next year’s general elections.

Mr Mtayachalo said the secretary has since communicated to the top leadership about the development and was still waiting for a feedback and the way forward.

“By and large we would llike to call for patience from the provincial leadership and the general membership while the top leadership is attending to the matter,” Mr Mtayachalo said.

By SILUMESI MALUMO THERE is need to enhance gold exploration to ascertain quantities available so that large scale investors with financial muscle can be engaged for the country to earn much needed revenue, chief Madzimawe of the Nsenga people has said.

The traditional leader said mechanized mining would be the best way for the country to exploit required resource that would enable the country to earn much needed revenue.

He said in an interview yesterday, the investors who were financially stable were the ones who would help the country to earn more revenue.

Recently ZCCM-IH announced that it had partnered with the small scale miners and had started mining and exploiting alluvial gold at Kasenseli gold area.

ZCCM-IH said more other small scale miners had applied to partner with it and it would soon consider them so that they can mine more gold.

ENTICE BIG INVESTORS IN GOLD MINING - MADZIMAWE

Chief Madzimawe But in an interview yesterday, the traditional leader said it was prudent that the country started mining gold through mechanised way so that it can be able to exploit

the resource that would bring enough revenue.

He said this must be the way which the country should take so that the original gold can be exploited for the

betterment of the country.

“We need to do a proper survey so that we know the extent of the gold we have as a country. Yes we can have alluvial gold but we need to see if we can dig deeper so that we can be able to get those good stones which will help us get enough revenue to revive our economy.

Meanwhile chief Madzimawe appealed to Government to consider empowering cooperatives in his chiefdom so that they can also commence the gold mining.

He said people in his area were eager to engage in the sub sector but they had not been empowered with equipment which was cardinal for mining.

Govt warns against fraud in NRCs issuance

By SIMON MUNTEMBA IT is a serious crime to fraudulently obtain a National Registration Card (NRC) or represent undeserving individuals to acquire it, the Ministry of Home Affairs has warned.

Public relations officer in the ministry of Home Affairs, Nephas Chifuta said as the mobile registration commences next month, only eligible Zambian citizens should obtain NRCs. In an interview with the Daily Nation, Mr Chifuta warned that those who would want to try to obtain the NRC dubiously, and those aiding them risked being jailed.

He urged the stakeholders including parliamentarians, traditional leaders and parents to ensure only eligible Zambian citizens who had attained the age of 16 years were issued with NRCs. “Any person that shall try to obtain or represent undeserving individual for the purpose of acquiring an NRC shall be committing a serious crime and will be reliable for prosecution before the courts of law,” Mr Chifuta warned.

Mr Chifuta explained that the mobile registration exercise which was scheduled to start in the second quarter of 2020 would only take place from August to October this year.

By NOEL IYOMBWA A POLICE officer who claimed in a You Tube video to have resigned from the Police Service, is reportedly a deserter who has been missing from work since February 2, 2020.

Sergeant Jeyson Chipepo, who claims to have resigned from the Police Service because of unprofessionalism in the service has been absent from work since February 2020, Police spokesperson Esther Katongo has said.

Reacting to a video that has gone viral on social media where the officer was saying that he had resigned due to some irregularities in the Service, Ms Katongo said that police in Muchinga province

He said the exercise would be conducted in a two phased approach of 40 days each due mostly to time constraints.

Mr Chifuta said phase one of mobile registration would cover Luapula, Northern, North-Western, Copperbelt and Eastern Provinces, while phase two would cover Western, Southern, Lusaka, Central and Muchinga Provinces respectively.

He said the Ministry had projected to issue approximately 1.5 million NRCs

during the 2020 mobile registration exercise.

He said 770,000 NRCs were projected to be issued in phase one, and 730,000 in phase two.

Mr Chifuta reiterated that the rationale for conducting the periodic mobile registration exercise was to effectively provide increased accessibility to national identity documents to Zambian citizens who have attained the age of 16 years and those whose cards need replacement.

had been looking for the said policeman as he has been missing from work since February this year.

She said that desertion was an offence committed by police officers who abscond from duty for a stipulated period of time and was a matter triable by the Criminal Courts of Law. Ms Katongo explained that there been no communication from the officer in question since February.

“In view of the video circulating on social media depicting Sergeant Jeyson Chipepo, Police in Muchinga

Province have been looking for the said officer after being absent from duty for a long time which is against section 26 (d) of the Zambia Police Act cap 107. “The officer last reported on duty on February 2, 2020 and Police have not yet received any communication from him on his resignation.

“According to the Police Act, desertion is an offence committed by police officers who abscond from duty for a stipulated period of time and this is a matter triable by the Criminal Courts of Law,” she said.

Equalisation fund is for projects not salaries - PS

By SILUMESI MALUMO in Kalulushi

G

OVERNMENT has instructed all councils across the country to stop using equalisation fund to pay emoluments for workers.

Local Government Permanent Secretary Ed Chomba said the equalisation fund was meant for development and not paying monthly salaries.

Bishop Chomba said Government introduced the equalisation fund in order to help the councils to actualise development in their areas.

He said yesterday when he addressed Kalulushi Municipal Council workers , said that the 80 percent of the equalisation funds need to be used for development in the districts.

PO2007

Ed Chomba The Permanent Secretary said only 20 percent of the equalisation fund needed to be used for operations for the local authority.

He said that development was not being actualised in the districts because the local authorities were using the funds meant for development to clear salary arrears.

Bishop Chomba said local authorities needed to raise their revenues in respective districts in order to pay salaries for the workers.

Bishop Chomba said there was need for mindset change to ensure that councils raised their own revenue and stop depending on the equalisation fund.

"This equalisation fund we send to you it’s not for salaries, it's for development. I think I want it straight so that people have correct information instead of making noise every time you don't receive the fund," he said.

Meanwhile Bishop Chomba instructed all workers in councils across the country to develop individual work plans.

He said there was too much laziness among council workers and from now on they would be appraised according to the individual work plans.

IN THE CLAWS OF COVID ZAMBIA is well and truly in the throes of the Covid-19 pandemic. The paroxysmal attack of the pandemic is evidenced in the increased number of BIDs (brought in dead) in hospitals throughout the country.

This is a national emergency which calls for urgent measures to step up the fight against coronavirus also known as Covid-19.

Stories of people dying in unexplained circumstances such as collapsing at home and being declared dead at the hospital or clinic are now common.

This is frightening and should be a concern to every Zambia. It would be foolish at this stage for any sane person to down play or ignore not only the existence Covid-19 but the danger that it possess.

We do not think that this is a country of foolish people who would ignore a danger so stark in reality that even our health facilities are fast becoming overburdened.

If we continue on this dangerous and ignorant path of ignoring preventive measures from experts, we will be consigning a good part of the population to early graves because hospitals will not be able to cope with the increased demand.

The country may reach a stage where there will be more people in need of treatment for Covid-19 than the existing sector can handle. This is what would lead to a catastrophe which the country has been warned about.

The health experts have advised that everyone without exception should mask up. However, very few people are observing Covid prevention guidelines.

Despite President Edgar Lungu making the declaration many times about masking up being mandatory, this has not been enforced. In his last two addresses to the nation, the President made it clear that wearing of masks in public was mandatory.

By implication this would have entailed that everyone walking on the street, entering a shop or using public transport such as buses, would be required to wear masks. However, this is not the case, as very few public places enforce this measure.

If anything, bus drivers and taxi operators have deliberately ignored wearing of face masks, to the extent that passengers cannot therefore be expected to respect the rule.

This, must change. The nation is faced with a crisis. A Covid crisis that experts had warned about and which might get worse.

It is time to get serious and tough. This is no time for rhetoric warnings.

Like Mr Ishmael Kankhara of Capital Buses has put it, wearing of masks in public should be made mandatory now in view of the surge in Covid cases.

There may be other ways of handling the crisis, such as enforcing a lock down, which might have far worse impact on the economic situation of the population.

But something has to be down. The country cannot cast a blind eye to the explosion of BIDs in the community.

People of all ages and with a different range of health issues are suddenly dying at home or in a health facility after being rushed there at the point of near death.

This is a crisis and critical decisions must be made now rather than later. It may be too late to act later. The number of BIDs recorded in hospitals may be just a tip of the ice berg.

We shudder to think of those of our brothers and sisters without access to health facilities who are burying relatives without precaution because they have no way of knowing the source of death is Covid.

Energy Ministry pilots petroleum procurement plans

By SILUMESI MALUMO MY ministry is being piloted to prepare procurement plans for the purchasing of petroleum to promote efficiency and transparency, Energy Minister Mathew Nkhuwa has said.

Mr Nkhuwa said his ministry was an agent for the procurement of petroleum and petroleum products therefore it was being piloted by the Zambian Public Procurement Authority (ZPPA) for the task.

The minister said that ZAPPA had tasked the ministry to prepare procurement plans as a way to promote efficiency and transparency in procurement of goods and services.

Mr Nkhuwa said this development would bring sanity in the procurement of petroleum in the country.

He said that the procurement of the petroleum would be done in the right manner for the betterment of the country.

Meanwhile, the minister has encouraged Zambians to invest in the fuel sub sector.

Mr Nkhuwa however said the major reason many Zambians were not engaging in fuel business was because the investment capital was high.

He said those who were willing to get into the fuel sub sector would be given a go ahead by the Government as long as they had the financial muscle.

"Some people say that Government does not give Zambians chance to get into the fuel sub sector. I might say that the entry point is high, it is the capital requirement to get into this industry which is expensive.

“It is not that there is any red tape, there is no red tape at all. As long as people have money enough they can get into this sub sector," Mr Nkhuwa said.

The President has also praised the United Church of Zambia (UCZ) for its continued active role in the promotion of peace and unity in the country. He said government was happy to associate with the church in ensuring that the tenets of peace and unity were upheld at all times.

President Lungu said this when he officiated at the farewell and retirement thanks-

Privatisation probe needed

HE questionable privatization of national assets including the Intercontinental Hotel in Livingstone should not be allowed to fade without a probe because some handlers might have illegally benefited at the expense of poor Zambians, a Lusaka businessman, Chrisantius Changwereza has said.

Privatisation documents for Intercontinental Hotel indicate that Sun International of South Africa, with a bid of US$ 5. 65 million for the hotel, was the lowest bidder even if it was offered the hotel while a private company incorporated in Zambia, Victorial Falls Travel Bureau, with a bid of US$ 20 million was sidelined.

“People must know why this decision was made and who could have benefitted from this out. We should not ignore such a thing because this is the genesis of such of the economic issues government and the citizens are dealing with today,” Mr Changwereza said.

Mr Changwereza said the several calls for the

He said in an interview that colossal sums of money that might have been lost through the process should be recovered.

“This fight must not be allowed to die out, if there was foul play in the privatization process, it must be exposed and any money illegally benefited recovered,” said Mr Changwereza.

And a PF official and former Mandevu constituency secretary, Lemmy Bwalya also demanded for an investigation into the privatisation of national assets.

Bad language inciting violence - Mwanza

By NOEL IYOMBWA THE Language being used by some political party leaders is what is inciting their members to react negatively and with violence, Patriotic Front deputy media director Antonio Mwanza has said.

Appearing on ZNBCs national watch program, Mr Mwanza said that leaders must check the language that they use because it is the language that leads to political violence.

He said that politicians must have language that builds, takes responsibility for anything that happens and that guides the nation.

Mr Mwanza noted that it is very sad to learn that some political leaders and their members are rejoicing over the death of two members of parliament.

The PF deputy director explained that the PF and the United Party for National Development signed a peace accord to stop political violence but that the UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema rubbished the agreement and pulled out of it.

He said that President Edgar Lungu has always condemned political violence and has taken a step to direct the secretary general Davies Mwila to sensitize the young

Mr Mwanza alleged that UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema has been celebrating the acts of violence by preaching `Panga for panga’.

“When there was violence in Mufulira, Mr Hichilema went to his Twitter account and celebrated acts of violence. That is not what a leader who wants to build does.

“It’s only in Zambia where a person can try to overpower a Presidential motorcade, in other countries you can be shot immediately,” Mr Mwanza said.

He said that the opposition has been agitating political violence using social media.

Mr Mwanza advised political leaders and other stakeholders to help the Zambia police as the country heads to 2021 elections adding that Police alone cannot end political violence.

And UPND deputy national youth Chairperson Gilbert Liswaniso accused the police of being biased.

Mr Liswaniso said that the police have been favoring the ruling party adding that he has reported different matters to the commissioner of police but that no action has been taken.

Mr Liswaniso wondered whether the police have been seeing what has been happening in the country.

He said that the UPND has resolved that when they are attacked they will fight back.

And Zambia police spokesperson Esther Katongo said that police cannot completely end political violence.

She said that it has to take political leaders and other stakeholders to stop political violence.

Ms. Katongo said that political leaders should sensitize their members when it comes to political violence.

UPND ‘DEATHS CELEBRATION’ SHOCKS MUCHINGA

By NATION REPORTER

T

HE UPND have been condemned for celebrating the death of two Members of Parliament stating that Bill 10 will now flop.

Some UPND members have taken to social media saying that the Bill 10 would now hit a snag following the demise of Mwansabombwe MP, Rogers Mwewa and Lukashya MP Mwenya Munkonge.

“Two MPs who supported Bill 10 have died,” one of the senior members of UPND wrote in a Facebook posting.

PF Muchinga Province youth information and publicity secretary, Francis Kapyanga said the celebrations clear-

ly demonstrated the amount of hatred and bitterness that UPND leaders inculcate in their followers towards other people who don't subscribe to their tribal hegemony.

Mr Kapyanga said these now form the values of the UPND and its cultural norms as it was not the first time that party members were celebrating the death of fellow human beings and leaders.

“They did the same when President Levy Mwanawasa died, even when President Micheal Sata died they celebrated and slaughtered cows to nourish the celebrations. A few months ago when Africa woke up to a rude shock of the news, announcing the death

of Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza, UPND cadres took to social media celebrating and hoped that, that, had happened to Zambia.

“We wish to categorically condemn the primitive actions by UPND members who have taken to social media to celebrate the death of two Members of Parliament,” he said.

Mr Kapyanga said UPND members and their leadership have always wanted Covid-19 to ravaged Zambia with deaths as they pushed a "there is no Covid-19" campaign through social media and other platforms and indeed espoused the cherished beliefs of the UPND.

“We wish to categorically condemn the primitive actions by UPND members who have taken to social media to celebrate the death of two Members of Parliament,” Mr Kapyanga said.

“Our prayers and thoughts are with President Edgar Lungu, Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini, family, friends, colleagues and Zambians,” he said.

‘Zambia needs new economic order’

By BENNIE MUNDANDO ZAMBIA needs a new economic order to respond and adapt to the new normal beyond short term economic stimulus packages recently prescribed, Golden Party Zambia (GPZ) president Jackson Silavwe has said.

Mr. Silavwe said many countries in Africa, Zambia inclusive, are experiencing economic shocks despite having recorded fewer clinical cases of Covid-19 and that Zambia had registered multiple job losses, depreciation of the Kwacha against major convertibles currencies thereby making businesses and the general cost of living a nightmare.

“Poverty levels have equally rocketed. Assessments by the World Bank and the Interna-

Mr Silavwe tional Monetary Fund show that the global economy has slowed down in growth this year compared to last year.

Global trade has slowed down as a result of the closure of borders and the lockdowns in major economies like the European Union (EU), China and

the United States of America.

“According to the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the Coronavirus blow to economic growth expected to drop from 3.2 percent to 1.8 percent. The secretary for ECA Miss Vera Songwe, further stated that the continent’s interconnectedness to affected economies of the EU, China and USA was causing ripple effects,” Mr. Silavwe said.

The Zambian economy was projected to grow at 3.2 percent, it has now been revised be lower at around two percent as a direct consequence of the challenges facing the economy, chiefly due to the effects of the corona virus.

Fight covid seriously, Govt urged

By SILUMESI MALUMO GOVERNMENT should lead by example in the fight against covid by avoiding meetings with large crowds, former Finance minister, Felix Mutati has said.

Mr Mutati has appealed to President Edgar Lungu to consider instituting affirmative life saving regulations spearheaded by leaders in Government due to escalating cases and deaths associated with COVID-19.

He said as a way forward, Government and the Patriotic Front must henceforth be instructed to fully observe all public health guidelines, including those related COVID-19 as a demonstration to the public, stating that currently what was being seen were leaders who are unconcerned with anti COVID-19 regulations which had a negative effect on the general public.

He said as things stand many leaders do not wear masks or ob-

serve social distance.

“Ironically, some of the leaders hold very large meetings but on the other hand they are directing citizens to comply with regulations. Unless leaders show seriousness, it is a tall order to expect ordinary members of society to take the stipulated regulations seriously,” he said. Mr Mutati said President Lungu should also consider sanctioning and suspending any leader in Government or party who was seen disregarding anti CIVID-19 regulations.

Meanwhile Mr Mutati said Rodgers Mwewa, Patriotic Front Mwansabombwe Member of Parliament and Mwenya Munkonge will be missed for their dedication to improve the lives of many people. Mr Mutati who is also former Lunte Member of Parliament said late Mwewa had left a huge gap not only in Mwansabombwe but also among the beneficiaries, current and past of his work at Fountain of Hope and the art industry

in Zambia.

He said in an interview yesterday, “Many street and vulnerable children passed through his and his wife’s hands at Fountain of Hope for orphaned and vulnerable children. Well-wishers should continue to assist and support Fountain of Hope to ensure that the remaining administrators of the facility continue to be supported. In this way, the children will not suffer further since support will be available and assured,” he said.

Meanwhile, All Peoples Congress (APC) president, Nason Msoni has said it is now time for all Zambians including politicians to focus on the containment of the coronavirus as opposed to politicking,.

Mr Msoni said the spike in the numbers of infections should now be a source of concern for all political leaders in the country as opposed to pursuing and massaging the individual political ambitions.

terventions. Zambia needs a grand economic reset urgently to curb the adverse economic effects on our people.

“Further, we call upon the Economic Association of Zambia (EAZ) to hold an economic ‘indaba’ that would look into the economy of Zambia critically during the Covid-19 pandemic. An economic ‘Indaba’ held in good faith can provide solutions for a more resilient local economy for a prosperous Zambia,” he said.

He said this was because major economic backbones such as the tourism and mining sector(s) had partially closed down with hotels and lodges having recorded significant reduction in book rates from 50 percent to less than 20 percent for the same period last year resulting in more job losses.

‘Expedite Chita Lodge concession agreement’ L

By SILUMESI MALUMO

UANO community resource boards (CRBs) have written to the Ministry of Tourism to expedite issuance of a wildlife conservation concession agreement for Chita Lodge to start safari operations in three chiefdoms.

This is according to a letter addressed to the permanent Secretary dated July 15, 2020 and signed by Ching’ombe village headman Evaristo Chose, who is also CRB chairperson in Chief Mboroma chiefdom; Chief Chembe’s CRB chairperson Gabriel Lungula, Chief Mbosha’s CRB chairperson Gilbert Chisenga, and secretary Edwin Kanakamo.

The letter states that the residents have been working with Chita Lodge for two years in wildlife and other natural resources conservation and that the company has spent huge sums of money in reducing poaching.

It says that the community is aware that Chiefs Mboroma, Mbosha, and Chembe have given Chita Lodge a mandate as their partner to constitute conservation concession in Upper Luano.

“Unfortunately, this process is taking too long to formalize through your department of wildlife, causing the investor (Chita Lodge) to give us an ultimatum to resolve this matter.

You recall that Upper Luano has been without an operator for too long.

“We have resolved that the area, earmarked as natural preservation zones in the management master plan for Upper Luano, which was adopted in Kabwe, be converted to community conservancy,” the letter reads in part.

The residents appealed to the Ministry to respond in the quickest possible time to avoid breaking the relationship they have with Chita Lodge.

And in an interview in Lusaka last Friday, Mr. Chose said the Ministry last year promised to process the concession agreement for Chita Lodge within three weeks but since then there has not been any feedback. He said people of Luano district have continued to wallow in poverty because of lack of concession agreement for the proposed investor while there is development in other chiefdoms that have safari operators.

He said if people in the three chiefdoms have jobs poaching will reduce drastically as many of them depend on the vice to feed their families and educate their children.

And Mr. Chisenga said there has not been a safari in Luano since 2012 when the previous one left and that the district is lucky to have Chita Lodge invest in the area. He said government should not make any more delays to formalize Chita Lodge’s operations.

Contractors warned over 20% subtracts for locals

S

TATE House has warned that contractors not adhering to and complying with the Presidential directive of 20 percent sub- contracting of local contractors risk losing their contracts.

Special Assistant to the President for Project Implementation and Monitoring Andrew Chellah said the 20 percent sub-contracting of local contractors on any project awarded to a foreign or main contractor must be followed.

Mr Chellah said this was because it was a directive from the President who was the highest authority.

He was speaking after inspecting the road construction works for lot 1 and 2 along the Great North Road on a stretch between Chinsali and Nakonde.

Mr Chellah said complying with the policy would not only bring economic value to the local contractors but the nation at large as money paid to them will be retained in the country.

POLICY

He said that the 20 percent sub-contracting would also give the Zambian contractors an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge.

Mr. Chellah was also happy that Zambians were able to operate big machines used in the construction of the road.

He said he was happy with the levels of skills transfer on the contractors working on the stretch between Chinsali and Nakonde on the Great North Road.

Meanwhile, Construction works on the Chinsali-Nakonde road project along the Great North Road in Muchinga province were progressing well.

Consulting firm Civil and Planning Group Resident, Jonathan Marvin said works for both Lot 1 and 2 of the projects are so far impressive.

Mr Marvin said the project was on schedule despite some challenges of failing to procure certain material like bitumen as it is sourced from South Africa which is still on lockdown due to Covid-19.

He was however confident that both contractors will complete the project within the stipulated time frame which is on August 30, 2022.

Meanwhile, the Road Development Agency (RDA) has urged motorists to exercise patience during the road construction period. - ZANIS.

PO2007

Mr Chellah said complying with the policy would not only bring economic value to the local contractors but the nation at large as money paid to them will be retained in the country.

UPND crowds started way back in 2006

Dear editor, HONESTLY, President Lungu doesn’t look so inspiring but on several occasions his decisions have proved to be inspired.

Whether you like it or not, there is something more than President Lungu in the way he does things, which keeps this Country at peace, stable and promising.

The man is just appointed by God to lead Zambia in these difficult times, because of his serene temperament otherwise if we had a man like those others, including myself, we would have made big blunders to cost the Country.

We stood up, and pushed President Lungu to open Bars and he insisted that it was not the right time. Look where we are today with Coronavirus.

In my view we must have a much higher number in the communities than the official records of COVID-19 because many of us are not testing and we have reduced on contact tracing.

I am also told we have few test kits and laboratories so many people are not being tested even in hospitals while results are taking longer to come for those being tested.

Awe, bane (friends), it is time to get back to those tight measures we started with because we are in more danger, now, than when we had few cases.

At the same time let’s pray for our Country advice to help save the people to other places and taking a better given the gravity of theand our leaders.

Opposition leaders hypocritical - Clergy

By KETRA KALUNGA

I

T is hypocritical for opposition political parties to disrespect the office of the President that they are eager to occupy, a clergyman has said.

Evangelical Youth Alliance president, Reverend Moses Lungu, said the current crop of opposition political parties had challenged the unity of the nation.

Rev Lungu said in an interview that the opposition had created a lot of potential elements that could easily lead the nation into anarchy.

“Are we dealing with 100 percent normal people, if they can allow such a thing to happen, don’t we have other provinces, other tribes that can also feel the same way,” Rev Lungu said.

"We never saw this from PF when MMD was in power, we never saw this with MMD when UNIP was in power. This particular regime has challenged us morally, it has challenged our unity, it has brought a lot of serious challenges that have shaken the statehood of the country," Rev Lungu said.

The clergyman said the perceived quest of some opposition political party to attain power had led them to disrespect the Presidency.

He said it was unfortunate that the opposition had chosen to put shame on the office of the President that they so much look forward to occupy.

Rev Lungu lamented that the behaviour of UPND members towards President Lungu in Monze recently was wrong.

He said in respect of the Head of State, the UPND was expected to come out clean and condemn the behaviour of its members.

"Are we dealing with 100 percent normal people, if they can allow such a thing to happen, don't we have other provinces, other tribes that can also feel the same way," Rev Lungu said.

Closure of foreign shops eyeopener’

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

THE closure of foreignowned stores in Zambia should serve as an eye opener to all Zambians, the Leadership Movement has said.

According to the organisation, the country did not need supermarkets but local Industries and robus manufacturing companies for long term job creation.

The Party said that international companies were closing in the country because they were hit with the impact of COVID19 leaving Zambian workers jobless.

So far, Jets, Edgars and now Spar super market have halted their operations in Zambia.

The Leadership Movement National Youth Coordinator, Chalwe Chandalala, told the Daily Nation that Government should promote and support local Investment in all the 10 provinces and create permanent jobs for the locals unlike depending on companies that could close at anytime.

“This is a danger of giving tax breaks and tax holidays to foreign companies. What is going to happen to the local suppliers and workers,” he wondered.

Mr Chandalala said that foreign stores were closing down after enjoying tax breaks and holidays, a situation he said should not be allowed.

He called on Zambians to support local companies and allow them grow and make profits which would result in job creation.

Kambwili demands K5, 000 presidential nomination fee

By PETER SICHALI NDC leader Chishimba Kambwili has demanded that the newly proposed nomination fees by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) be reduced to K5, 000, K500 and K50 for Presidential, Parliamentary and local government elections respectively.

And several other opposition political parties have rejected the new fees demanding for a further reduction.

ECZ has proposed to increase nomination fees from K95, 000 for male Presidential candidates, K75, 000 for female candidates and K70, 000 for youth candidates.

It has also pegged fees for Parliamentary aspirants as K15, 000 for male candidates, K13, 500 for female candidates and K10, 000 for youth candidates.

ECZ has also proposed to increase nomination fees for councillor K1, 500 for male candidates, K1, 000 for female and youth candidates respectively.

Mr Kambwili, said in an interview recently that the revised nomination fees for the 2021 general elections were still high and that ECZ should reduce the amounts further.

He said ECZ should reduce the nomination fees to K5, 000, K500 and K50 for Presidential, Parliamentary and local government respectively.

He said ECZ was funded by Government and therefore there was no need for the organisation to be exorbitant when setting nomination fees.

And UPND spokesperson, Charles Kakoma, said the leadership should not be a preserve of the few rich people.

Mr Kakoma cited that K1, 500 for a person aspiring to be a councillor was too high and would deprive people of good representation.

Meanwhile, PAC president, Andyford Banda, said the fees were still high and ECZ should instead maintain the 2016 nomination fees.

And the Continental Leadership Research Institute said the second proposal by ECZ to increase the nomination fees at this particular time was not necessary.

Institute director, Mundia Hakoola said quality leadership was one of the key attributes that was important for citizens to look at for them to choose the candidate of their choice during elections.

"As a resident of this township, I want to commend the services being provided by the men and women in uniform despite the numerous challenges being faced to execute their duties.

Mr Chipili thanked the Patriotic Front (PF) government and President Edgar Lungu for delivering what could be described as human-centred development "In its campaign to build robust infrastructure whose implementation started in 2013, Ndeke has received its share of the national cake. 40 years ago, the area did not have a police post, health facility or roads.

"To access services of the police, residents walked to Wusakile but today, the services have been brought to people's door steps,'' he said In the last six years, Mr Chipili said Zambia has witnessed the construction and upgrade of roads, construction of hospitals, clinics, health posts, universities, colleges, trade schools, primary and secondary schools country-wide.

Utilise every opportunity, young leaders urged

By ROGERS KALERO

Y

OUNG people appointed to senior political and Government positions should not squander their opportunities, but learn to be humble and committed to serving the interests of the public, Local Government Permanent Secretary Ed Chomba has said.

Bishop Chomba said it was sad some young people become disrespectful even to the appointing authority upon assuming some positions.

He said young people must always demonstrate humility and hard work once given an opportunity to serve the public.

The Permanent Secretary was speaking at the weekend when he paid a courtesy call on Kitwe District Commissioner (DC) Chileshe Bweupe before he was joined by Mayor Christopher Kang'ombe.

“But, even empowerment itself calls for hard work, dedication, commitment and responsibility.

You can blame politicians for certain things, but to a larger extent, people should blame themselves. They need to work hard,’’ Mr Munalula said.

"The problem is that sometimes when you give power or leadership to novices, they become arrogant and disrespectful even to the appointing authority. As young people, I am urging you not to squander opportunities given to you.

"President Edgar Lungu wants young people in leadership therefore don't disappoint him. Work with him, be loyal and work hard. He has given you chance to prove yourselves,'' Bishop Chomba said Meanwhile, Kitwe entrepreneur Moola Munalula urged youths to develop a positive attitude towards work to gain and hold the confidence of society.

Speaking in an interview, Mr Munalula said Zambians, youths in particular, should develop a positive attitude towards work before blaming government for everything.

Mr Munalula said the role of the government was to put up infrastructure and policies to support economic recovery and national development where local people should participate.

"You cannot expect to be supplied food on the plate every day, You need to work hard to put your own food on the table. People should lobby government for better policies that will empower them in various ways.

Mr Munalula said politicians in general should dwell on finding solutions to the country's problems and challenges as opposed to engaging in fault-finding.

He said fault-finding was retrogressive because it would not bear any desirable fruits, but only serve to promote divisions.

OIL DEALERS IN EPIC LEGAL BATTLE OVER REDUCED PROFIT MARGINS THE timing could not have been better. As the busy Christmas period was kicking in, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory (EPRA) in November 2019 announced new profit margins for petroleum

Keeping The Success Narrative Positive During Difficult Times - Be A Part Of The Story & Empower Others and social potential of the 2.5 billion poorest people through greater FI).

Although Zambia has done tremendously well in achieving this target, a lot still needs to be done. Through the Maya declaration, BOZ also committed to ensuring that the provision of affordable and appropriate banking and financial services were rolled out to all districts of the country. Up until the end of 2011, about seven (7) rural districts of the country had no banking services. This translated into people travelling to other towns and districts to conduct banking business, they would in some instances spend three days or more!

Maria Karima

Head - Corporate Affairs & Marketing Investrust Bank Plc Dear Reader, We trust that you and your family are keeping safe as we continue to fight COVID -19. This time calls for all of us to be extremely cautious regarding how we go about conducting banking and any other business. It is a time when we are all encouraged to be innovative in the way we do things and are also reminded about taking advantage of ‘opportunities’ that arise. To this effect, we tell our story of one of our services on our product/service offering menu that is not only helping us to protect our staff, customers and members of the public from contracting COVID -19 but one that members of the public can take up to change their lives and that of others.

Through Agency Banking, customers are able to conduct their business banking nearest to where they are as opposed to them coming to our outlets making their time spent on banking relatively shorter and quicker with minimal interactions with other people.

Members of the public can also take up Agency Banking as a business; as Agents of the Bank, individuals/small businesses can offer the service on behalf of the Bank, and they can, in turn, empower people in their communities by employing them. What beats that? What’s more? By virtue of being a Bank, we are contributing to the enhancement of the National Financial Inclusion (FI); this is expected of us because it is our responsibility and one that we execute with passion and pride knowing that we are helping to change lives for the better.

A Glance At Financial Inclusion (FI) Facts FI has been a key agenda for sustainable economic development. Central banks worldwide have come up with initiatives to enhance Fl in their countries. The story has not been different for Zambia. Following the first publication of the FINSCOPE survey in 2009, the Bank of Zambia (BOZ), made a commitment through the Maya declaration of 2011 to at least achieve FI of 50% in the medium term from the 37% of Zambia’s population by 2015 (the Maya Declaration is the first global and measurable set of commitments by developing and emerging country policymakers to unlock the economic

FI has attracted and continues to attract growing interest from various stockholders who include academicians, politicians, business communities, individuals and the international business community. Some studies have identified FI as one of the factors causing widespread rural poverty in countries, especially developing ones. This huge interest in FI exhibits its significance in economic and social development. It shows a growing and tremendous recognition of FI and justifies that access to financial services has an important role in reducing extreme poverty, boosting shared prosperity, and supporting inclusive and sustainable development as highlighted by the World Bank.

Setting The Tone For Agency Banking Model In Zambia In an effort to increase FI, organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the G-20, International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) and the Consultative Group to Assist the Poor (CGAP) have taken an active role at the international stage in gathering data and setting standards of various Central Banks.

It is critical to note that in defining what FI is, our Central Bank has clearly stated that FI goes beyond having access to finance, it also means having access to financial products and services that are affordable and appropriate or suitable for one’s needs.

The period between 1990 and 2005 saw banks in Zambia close their rural branches in preference to urban ones. This resulted in people in rural areas being financially excluded.

Other factors that have contributed to low FI in Zambia include but are not limited to limited financial access for the rural and periurban areas, low financial literacy and limited knowledge on the financial sector demand as well as supply and market opportunities countrywide. It became very clear along the years that banking services were/are less accessible in rural areas and that there is very low financial depth for bank products among the adult population in Zambia. This called for alternative or branchless banking solutions. This birthed the Agency Banking Model in Zambia.

The Agency Banking Model At Work This is an alternative to traditional brick and mortar way of conducting banking business through branches. More importantly, it is a solution to bridging the gap between the financially included and those excluded.

products retailers.

The regulator raised the retail operations margin per litre of fuel from Sh3 to Sh4.14. But hardly six months later, the promise of enhanced profits has all but diminished as retailers battle

With this model, banks are able to minimise fixed costs of setting up branches by offering bank products and services through cash merchants and retail outlets in a commercially viable way thereby providing them access to additional revenue sources. Jayanty (2012) explains that with the advent of Agency Banking, ’’Financial Inclusion has now come to mean much more than just banking the unbanked. It now refers to the convergence of various bank and non-bank players to provide financial services at a lower cost, wider reach and greater convenience to all end consumers of financial services, unbanked or otherwise.” Through this model, customers are able to access banking services in places that are nearest to them in remote and previously unbanked territories. Agencies offer normal banking services such as cash deposits and withdrawals, funds transfers and account opening.

Agency Banking Model – A Success Story For Zambia Agency Banking in Zambia is among the important initiatives that BOZ has pledged to undertake to enhance FI. To this effect, BOZ developed a regulatory framework for Agency Banking to facilitate Financial Services Providers to take banking and financial services to all the unbanked parts of Zambia. Many banks have since taken up this challenge and successfully so. Some of the success attributed to Agency Banking include the following: • Wider customer coverage leading to widened and deepened financial market as well as enhanced customer loyalty.

• Increased number of bank outlets which has led to enhanced access to financial services, increased financial inclusion and raising overall levels of financial literacy in the country.

• Increased Access to bank products and services; Agents offer selected banking services offered by banks, thereby increasing knowledge of financial products and services.

with the giant oil marketers and EPRA over the former’s decision to unilaterally introduce new charges that have wiped out the Sh1.14 increment they had received in November 2019, and even more.

For the retailers under the umbrella of the Kenya National Petroleum Dealers Association (KENAPEDE), EPRA has become nothing more than a bystander, watching as the giant multinational oil marketers disregard the regulations on the profit margins by introducing new charges that are also not covered

by Marketing License Agreements (MLAs).

The dispute is now the subject of judicial review proceedings at the High Court as retailers seek to have the court compel EPRA to enforce its laws and regulations.

“The applicant submits that the 2nd respondent (EPRA) has by its action to ignore the ex parte applicant’s grievances contained in its several letters amounts to a breach of its statutory duty towards the applicant who is a stakeholder in the petroleum industry, and the failure to address its grievances has caused its members to suffer through being subjected to low retail operating margins due to manipulations by the oil marketing companies,” the association says.

The dispute over profit margins is one among several issues the retailers on the one hand, and oil marketing companies and EPRA on the other, have locked horns.

For instance, retailers have also accused the regulator of

failing to take action on fuel losses during delivery of up to 350 litres per order, and complaints over intimidation by oil marketing companies.

EPRA did not respond when Sunday Nation reached out to them. In the particular case of profit margins, the retailers say that oil marketing companies came up with new charges such as working capital charge, Health Safety, Environment and Quality (HSEQ) charge, digital charge, research and development, training and assistance charge and through-put charge.

They say that before EPRA’s announcement of November 14, there were no such charges.

According to the court papers, the oil marketing companies have been trying to regularise the illegal charges by coercing the dealers to sign amendments to the existing dealership marketing license agreements.

“Even though in theory the members of the ex parte applicant seem to be receiving the prescribed margins, the oil marketing companies by introduction of these new charges through the back door are exploiting the margins as the members have to provide for these charges from their margins,” the association says.

As a result, they say that retailers have been getting margins as low as Sh3 per litre, contrary to the Sh4.14 prescribed by EPRA in the new regulations published in November 2019. The matter will be coming up for mention on Tuesday.

World faces staggering jobs challenge The world is facing a staggering jobs challenge with a quarter of a billion people set to lose their job this year, the president of Microsoft has said.

Brad Smith says millions will need to learn new skills to get jobs, or even to hang on to their old one, as the digitisation of economies races ahead.

Microsoft recently announced a plan to deliver skills and training to 25 million people globally this year.

It will offer training, skills, certifications and help finding jobs. The firm will do this with the help of Microsoft-owned LinkedIn. However, Mr Smith admitted that many jobs in many countries would be beyond the reach of digital retraining. “It’s true that the nature of work varies widely around the world. Not all jobs can be digitised, particularly in the developing world.

“We live in a world of internet inequality - if we don’t do something about it we are going to exacerbate all the other inequalities that we all worry about. This is a task beyond any one company or any one government but if we can reach 25 million people we will feel like we are doing our part.” - BBC

BOZ CAUTIONS OVER MUTILATED BANK NOTES The BoZ destroys and replaces dirty bank notes which are deposited into the banking system, says BoZ Manager-Currency, Patrick Phiri.

IRTY bank notes should be deposited into the banking system where they are destroyed and replaced by the Bank of Zambia (BoZ).

The Central Bank has warned of hash penalties for production of counterfeit money.

As a rule, the BoZ destroys and replaces dirty bank notes which are deposited into the banking system, says BoZ Manager-Currency, Patrick Phiri.

Mr Phiri explained during a radio show programme in Lusaka that BoZ held enough stock to be able to replace notes which had been returned into the banking sys-

tem.

“Once you deposit the dirty notes into the banking system, they will at one point land at Bank of Zambia through commercial banks. During this time of the Covid-19, we are trying to make sure that all notes out there are clean.

“So we urge the public to make sure the dirty notes are deposited into the banking system, if they are mutilated bank notes, there is always a window at the BoZ on Tuesdays and Fridays where you can come andexchange them for better notes,” he said.

Mr Phiri said the Central Bank was aware of the soiling of the K2 and K5 bank notes as they had high velocity.

“We know the level of soil-

PRODUCE “If we find that you have the implements to produce counterfeits, say you have a scanner, you have a paper that you have cut to march the size the bank notes and you have started producing, that can land you into life imprisonment.” ing because these notes have got very high velocity, these are the notes that you circulate so widely in the market and sometimes they are not well handled compared to high value note,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Phiri warned that the penalties for producing counterfeit bank notes were hash.

He explained that although the penalties varied, they were hash as one could be life imprisoned or given seven years imprisonment if found guilty.

“If we find that you have the implements to produce counterfeits, say you have a scanner, you have a paper that you have cut to march the size the bank notes and you have started producing, that can land you into life imprisonment.

“It is a very serious crime and we take it extremely serious. The penalties for counterfeits are very hash,” Mr Phiri stressed.

ZAMBIA’S business conditions in the private sector have for the first time in 90 days signalled hope for improvement despite the negative impact of Covid-19 on local enterprises.

This is according to the latest Stanbic Bank Zambia IHS Markit Purchasing Managers’ Index which indicated that business in June experienced the softest deterioration in commerce conditions in the last three months.

The headline PMI rose to 42.3 in June from May’s record low of 34.8, indicating a slight recovery from the worst constriction caused by the respiratory disease.

Stanbic Bank Zambia Head of Global Markets, Victor Chileshe, said although there were signs that the worst of the downturnc ould have passed, Covid-19 had continued to negatively impact the private sector in June.

Mr Chileshe said: “Covid-19 continued to harm demand, with customer closures and restrictions on international travel mentioned by respondents.

“As a result, new orders decreased sharply. The

URAL women have for a long time been excluded from accessing formal financial products and non-financial services because they are often not tailored to suit their circumstances. Therefore, financial service providers need to recognize that rural women tend to understand complex financial services through simplified informal networks such as “chilimbas” and savings groups. These interventions have proved to be instrumental in propagating access to credit and saving facilities among this under-served group.

In order to bridge this gap, various organisations have

The case of savings groups in Zambia been implementing the savings groups model which operates on a self-selecting mechanism among community members. It works by pooling resources to create a source of lending funds in accordance with group constitutions that define the terms and conditions of savings, loan disbursements, loan interest rates and repayment plans. Most importantly is that members are given financial literacy lessons in order to understand how the model operates and maximize its benefits.

It has been demonstrated that enhancing women’s direct access to and control over resources is associated with positive economic and social outcomes for women, their families and their communities.

Thus, savings groups impact women in a unique way that directly reduces the family’s and ultimately the community's susceptibility to poverty and vulnerability.

In 2017, the Government expressed its commitment to financial inclusion through the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS) whose primary goal is to achieve universal access to and usage of a broad range of quality and affordable financial products and services. The strategy is aimed at increasing financial inclusion

to 80% by 2022 from 59% recorded in the 2015 FinScope survey. The survey also revealed that 20% of the population use informal financial services such as savings groups which play a significant role in expanding financial inclusion, particularly in rural areas and among women.

Furthermore, a 2018 survey

by Financial Sector Deepening Zambia indicated that 96.3% of its members were women with an annual membership growth of 16.7%. Additionally, 86% stated that their welfare

lack of new work,alongside Covid-19 restrictions, led to a further decrease in business activity.”

Mr Chileshe said the overall input costs in the private sector decreased for the third successive month, following reduction of purchase prices and staff costs in June.

He explained that purchase prices fell due to a lack of demand for inputs (purchasing activity declined sharply again), which outweighed the inflationary impact of currency weakness.

With input prices falling, he said, companies again reduced their charges in an effort to secure new orders.

Mr Chileshe indicated that selling prices were down for the third month running, albeit only marginally.

“Meanwhile, lower staff costs reportedly reflected a combination of wage cuts and reductions in staffing levels,” Mr Chileshe said.

Mr Chileshe however said although improving from May, sentiment remained weaker than the series average.

He explained that there was widespread uncertainty around the outlook.

Saying companies held a broadly neutral outlook regarding business activity over the coming year.

However, there is need to continue strengthening financial literacy programs among rural women to enable them access broader credit facilities for productive purposes. This can be done by developing unique products and services that recognise livestock and farm produce as collateral in rural settings. Similarly, relaxing the procedure of formalising customary land and empowering more women with land could ease access to collateral based loans for rural women.

Masks must be mandatory - Kankhara

By NOEL IYOMBWA

GOVERNMENT must make it mandatory for people to wear face masks in public, Capital Buses proprietor, Ishmael Kankhara has said.

Mr Kankhara said at the weekend after his company sprayed the Daily Nation Newspaper premises as part of efforts to prevent the spread of covid-19.

He said it is important that the fight against covid is stepped as the infection rate is surging.

“Face masks should now be mandatory because this is very serious,” he said.

Meanwhile, as a way of preventing the spread of Covid 19, Capital Buses Limited took upon themselves to disinfect Daily Nation newspaper premises. The employees led by Mr Ishmael Kankhara’s son Amad Kankhara disinfected surroundings and offices. Mr Kankhara said that the company decided to extend the gesture to the media house owing to the fact the journalists are front liners in informing the nation about the pandemic.

He said that the company is looking at ways in which it can extend the gesture to other media houses adding that it has already disinfected Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation .

STICK WITH LUNGU, ZDDM TELLS PF

By PETER SICHALI

THE Patriotic Front should not to be distracted by the baseless argument that President Edgar Lungu does not qualify to contest the 2021 presidential elections because he is their best winning candidate, ZDDP Edwin Sakala has said.

Mr Sakala said the Constitutional Court already ruled that he qualifies to contest, therefore PF should not be distracted.

He said President Lungu has only been in State house for five years and that it's bad politics for anybody to suggest that he has served for two terms of office because the one year he came in to finish President Sata's term cannot be treated as a full term.

"It must be clear to many Zambians that the people claiming that he does not qualify to contest the next general election do not mean well and are only politicking because they know that President Dr Lungu is the best winning candidate whose leadership style has won more respect and support across the country that he is assured of winning more votes in 2021," Mr Sakala said.

He said ZDDM will soon announce its own presidential candidate in view of the withdraw from the race of its preferred candidate for 2021, former vice President

Mr Sakala Enoch Kavindele.

"We do not mind being unfairly called PF stooges or indeed the fact that this party slammed its doors on our faces soon after they won elections but the fact is that President Dr Edgar Chagwa Lungu is meanwhile the best candidate for the country to remain stable and on the path towards unity in diversity and development," Mr Sakala said.

He said ZDDM supports President Lungu because it has known him for more than 25 years.

TENDER FOR THE RE-CONSTRUCTION OF THE BOUNDARY WALL FENCE AT NORAD MAIN DEPOT IN KASAMA DISTRICT - FRA/W/02/20

Daily Nation at the weekend, more than 150 have so far been employed already for the start of construction works.

Reacting to the development, Mr Ikuka expressed happiness that the property developers had followed the Head of State’s directive.

“I must state clearly that, this is what we want as people of Livingstone.

I am happy that we have received information of a number of our young people being employed at the construction site,” he said Mr Muleta was hopeful that the trend would continue for the benefit of the people in the tourist capital.

During the ground breaking ceremony, Southern Province Minister Edify Hamukale said the construction of the Mosioa-tunya Livingstone Hotel Resort would create fiscal space through the creation

of 1,000 jobs in the circle.

Dr Hamukale said that the investment was a huge value on the balance sheet of Southern Province which was in excess of $1million.

The Provincial Minister charged that the investment will also stimulate other investors to put up such facilities around the country or elsewhere so that Zambians can be proud of.

“We are also proud that this project is endogenous and takes the medium income people of Zambia to the banks of the Zambezi River an opportunity which they don’t have because of how expensive the room rates are in other hotels,” he said.

On completion, the Resort would comprise 180 standard hotel rooms and 20 executive standalone Charley’s, a state of the art 500 seater capacity conference hall among other facilities.

We are very happy with the assistance we got from the MP. “Honourably Sialubalo is the best MP we have ever had so far because of the way he is developing his consitituency. So as youths in Sinazongwe we have indorsed him as the candidate for 2021,” he declared.

Mr Bbabi said that the construction of modern female and male cells in Maamba would boost the fight against crime in the area.

“The cells will be very beneficial as you might be aware that Sinazongwe is very hot so in October and November suspects were having challenges... some were fainting in cells because they were not conducive,” Mr Bbabi said.

KITWE LAND SCAM ALERT!

By ROGERS KALERO

FILE PHOTO : A Kitwe business man whose piece of land has been invaded in Zamtan area, said political party cadres, civic leaders and others who are involved will soon be exposed.

He explained that anyone claiming to own the same piece of land and seeking to sell it must have a letter of offer or a title from the Ministry of lands.

“That piece of land belongs to Mopani and those who are involved in the sale of that land are doing it illegally. This is why members of the public who are buying land in Mindolo area stand to lose out their hard earned income.

“The council is not part of the illegal land transaction being perpetrated by some individuals who were selling land in Mindolo area,’’ Mr Seke said.

Kitwe has been experiencing numerous cases of illegal allocation of land in Zamtan area, Zambia Railways land near Manica Freight Services, Presidential Guest house area and other parts of the city. In some cases, councillors have been implicated in the illegal sale of land.

CB PF on the trot

By MUYANI SHINJABALE

THE Patriotic front (PF) on the Copperbelt has enhanced its membership mobilisation to sustain the grip on the ruling party’s stronghold ahead of campaigns for the 2021 general elections.

As a sustainable strategy, the PF leadership is blending efforts with the mobilisation committee in the province.

Copperbelt PF Chairperson, Nathan Chanda, said his team and other structures below were working well with the mobilisation team, which also had gone all-out to get new members and also propel the existing membership.

Mr Chanda said that the elected officials were working side by side with the members of the mobilisation committee.

The Copperbelt PF chairman was speaking during a meeting with party members at the PF Copperbelt Province mobilisation Chairperson Bowman Lusambo’s residence in Ndola.

He stated that he was aware that the mobilisation team was running across the province to meet the public.

And Mr Lusambo who is Kabushi Constituency Member of Parliament (MP) pledged to work hard with the provincial executive to retain PF in power.

‘Place priority on flood, drought victims’

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

P150720-06

KITWE residents have been cautioned not to buy plots from unregistered dealers but always involve designate offices in all land transactions.

Town Clerk, Mbulo Seke, observed that some people would end up losing their hard-earned money f they continue buying plots from private individuals without involving the local authority or the Ministry of Land The Town Clerk particularly singled out residents attempting to buy land in Mindolo area from where unscrupulous people were on the loose.

He said people could lose out on their hard earned income because the whole deal was an illegal transaction being perpetrated by criminals in Mindolo.

Mr Seke said the council was not part of the illegal land transaction being perpetrated by some individuals who were selling land in Mindolo area.

He, therefore, cautioned members of the public not to buy land from such individuals or else they would regret their decision.

Mr Seke said the land in question was a subject of a court judgement giving possession of land to Mopani Copper Mines (MCM) as part of mining rights sold by ZCCM-IH.

GOVERNMENT should put flood and drought victims as number one priority when receiving recovery support and farming incentives, Care for Nature Zambia has advised.

The organisation believes that the windy weather conditions and drop in temperatures which is being experienced in some parts of the country will impact heavily on women and families that have been affected by floods and drought.

Care for Nature Zambia is a non-profit making NonGovernmental Organisation (NGO) that ensures that there was a balance in how people consume and conserve natural resources.

According to the Climate Change Gender Action Plan, Zambia is already feeling the effects of climate change with increasing rates and severity of floods, leaving hunger and poverty in their wake, with each affecting at least a million people.

The 2019/2020 Recovery Action Plan further states that about 2.3 million people during the lean season between October 2019 and March 2020 were estimated to be facing worse food security situation.

Care for Nature Zambia Executive Director, Nsama Kearns, said that flood and drought victims were in need of long term empowerment.

She was speaking in an interview in Kitwe.

“Apart from causing negative health conditions, the

predicated change in weather may affect home based gardening, blow off roofs and damage houses especially those built of mud or have been recently rehabilitated after suffering collapse from floods,” she said.

Ms Kearns observed that this was a crucial and most critical time to implement the Climate Change Gender Action Plan on grounds that climate change driven disasters were threatening food security at house hold level which would in turn accelerate poverty.

She said that the problematic risk of a single flood in the future was estimated to cause an absolute loss of US$ 25 million to the Zambian economy which she said the country was not ready for.

“Agriculture and food security, education, health, nutrition, infrastructure, social protection and water and sanitation are some of the key sectors of development that require intervention under the recovery plan,” Ms Kearns said.

She further stated that there was urgent need to build community resilience to natural disasters through economic empowerment programmes, livelihood diversification and assert creation at household level.

She however said that the NGO was ready to work with Government to ensure that families affected by natural disasters received information, awareness, disaster risk reduction, preparedness and early warning signs.

Ms Kearns added that her organisation would want to see empowerment for victims that will help them to recover and cope from the effects of floods and drought including the ravaging corona virus pandemic.

on how you can be ‘new normal’ ready by taking advantage of opportunities that arise during this time as a business and at an individual level. It clearly can’t be business as usual during such a time. We have observed tremendous changes in the way businesses are responding to the pandemic. For most organisations, risk assessment is on a high, and it should be.

We are living in uncertain times because of the ‘uncertain’ pandemic. This calls for

when misfortune can strike.

Self Risk Assessment As organisations enhance the risk assessment during this uncertain time, it only makes sense that you do the same at an individual life. Today’s story is about reminding you to reflect about this in terms of your preparedness should the ugly happen. How will you survive?

What measures have you put in place to ‘secure’ your life and that of your loved ones? How long will you be able to ‘survive’ and sustain the quality of life you have defined for yourself and your family as you try to reorganise yourself? This is the time to tighten that spending; manage your finances jealousy and Save for a rainy day as much as you can.

‘Wise Spending’ – Your New Mantra The two magical words’ Wise Spending’ should be your new mantra in the ‘New Normal’. When heeded, this can be lifechanging not only during this period but beyond. Simply put, spending money wisely means that you develop a behaviour pattern that enables you to derive more value from your money. For instance, K100.00 can satisfy one of your needs or ten of them. It all depends on the choice that you make and how you spend the K100.00. Having said this, it is critical that we look at money in its entirety. Before we labour on the aspect of saving, we need to first get a holistic picture of money.

HILANGA Town located about 15 kilometres from Zambian’s capital city Lusaka is historically, believed to have started as a colonial settlement. Following Zambia’s independence in 1964, most of the foreigners left and local residents took over.

Recently, in 2012, after assuming power, late President Michael Sata of the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) made Chilanga a district and its own town.

It covers the area bordering Shibuyunji, Chibombo, Kafue and Lusaka districts.The district has one constituency comprising 10 wards.

With agriculture having been Chilanga’s initial economic activity, the town has seen growth in commercial and small-holder farming. It has one of the country’s renowned agriculture research centres called Mount Makulu Research Station and is also home to Mundawanga Environmental Park as well as Larfage Cement formerly Chilanga Cement.

With such a profile, Chilanga has the great potential to transform into a huge industrial hub, as believed by Hon. Maria Langa the current PF Member of Parliament (MP) for Chilanga.

The MP who was elected into office in a 2018-by election, taking over from the opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) says she wants to bring change that will transform the area into a huge industrial park.

Hon. Langa was speaking in an interview following a tour of Chilanga Constituency meant to profile and highlight her projects in the area. This visit was facilitated by the Zambia Women Parliamentary Caucus (ZWPC) with support from Hivos.

“I want to set up an industrial park in Chilanga so that it can employ most of our youths and employ our women,” she said.

She said though this could be her long-term plan, the need to turn Chilanga into an economic hub is priority.

“For me, I am looking at it that we could have some factories that are sewing for example, I am also looking at it in the sense that we have a lot of

her dream especially in the areas of health, empowerment, infrastructure, education, water and sanitation.

Placing health as one of her priority areas, Hon Langa is happy that Chilanga Constituency has seen the birth of three

mini-hospitals in her time as MP. She is particularly grateful that through her lobbying, Nakachenje Mini Hospital was established and is fully operational. Others are Mundengwa and Tubalange.

“One time I was here (Nakachenje) I found a baby had been born. There was a small building in the back there which they looked at as a clinic. The day I passed through I had found that a caretaker had helped to deliver a baby and according to her information, she had delivered many babies there," Hon. Langa narrates saying that people had been going there to deliver but there was no clinic, no nurse, no doctor and no equipment.

“That touched my heart and that is why I lobbied for this hospital,” she said.

In Mundengwa Ward, she is glad that finally the residents have a health post as for a long time, there was none.

“Mundengwa is in our rural area, very rural. We have villages with a big community. Our people had been moving long distances to access medical facilities. They used to go all the way to Nyemba ward. We thank our President who heard their cries. He heard my cry as I lobbied for this facility,” she said.

Additionally, she has lobbied for a District Hospital and that plans are underway to have it established in Chilanga.

In education, Hon. Langa has worked tirelessly to respond to the growing demand of schools in her constituency due to the rise in population. In most wards, there has been a need to upgrade a school or construct more classroom blocks to accommodate the growing numbers.

In Chinyanja Ward for example, Hon. Langa facilitated for the construction of a one by three classroom block at Shampule Primary School. This was a joint venture between the PTA who put in 25 per cent and a donor that gave it 75 per cent.

This need came with the purpose of upgrading the school to grades nine and eight.

In addition there is also another one by three classroom block under construction at Shampule Primary through CDF. Hon. Langa has also facilitated for the purchase of building sand, quarry dust and crushed stones using CDF to see the construction of an administration block at St Michael School in Chimanja Ward. There has also been rehabilitation of a

Hon Langa has achieved this through CDF and support from well-wishers.

“Here we are doing a lot as well. Thanks to the President, he gave us 10 boreholes. These are dotted in the constituency.

These were lobbied for and I also lobbied from Esther Lungu Foundation who gave us five more,” she explained.

Added to the water projects is the construction of water borne toilets to improve hygiene and sanitation at Nyemba Clinic.

Hon. Langa’s busy project schedule also extends to road infrastructure. She says during her campaigns, one of the things she lobbied for in Chilanga was the construction of roads especially Mungwi Road.

Although all these roads are done under government programmes, she said her advocacy to see this happen in her time has made her very proud.

She named Middle West Road as one important road that has been done including Castle Road that has been upgraded to a tarmac. She hopes that in due course, more roads could be done especially Linda-Mount Makulu which needs upgrading.

This improvement has also come along with the installation of solar-powered traffic lights on Kafue Road at Chilanga Post Office junction which the MP considers an international road. There was also the tarring of New Apostolic

one by three classroom block at Makeni GRZ Primary School in Chilongolo Ward as well as the procuring of roofing material for a one by three classroom block at Chilanga Primary School. Kacheta School is also getting upgraded to Grade 12.

“We want to build more schools especially for the girl child,” she adds.

Chilanga being a peri-urban constituency is faced with water challenges as some of its areas are hilly. Being aware of this, Hon. Langa has put water reticulation as another top priority.

She has championed the sinking of bore holes and lobbied for water in most areas.

Church to Lafarge Quarry Road that has helped reduce traffic congestion.

Another notable line of her projects is community empowerment. Taking advantage of the Enhanced Smallholder Livestock Investment Programme (E-SLIP) several women groups are now into livestock farming.

Lukamantano Women’s Cooperative formed in 2001 for example, received 20 cows and is physically involved in caring for these animals.

“This livestock will help us financially and during our farming. I personally have my own animal under this project and I am happy that women can now

Mtengo Lumono Women Club, Hope of Good Deeds and Chimanja Women Associaition have all received chickens for their poultry business. Others like Tipindule Literacy Women Club received a peanut butter making machine.

Knowing that women are very key to economic development, Hon. Langa also lobbied for the construction of Katandabale Market in Chilanga Ward

Our people had been moving long distances to access medical facilities.

They used to go all the way to Nyemba ward. We thank our President who heard their cries.

He heard my cry as I lobbied for this facility. with support from the President. Chikondano and Mailoni markets in Namalombwe Ward both had market shelters constructed to roof level to support more women empowerment.

Promotion of fish farming is also one important empowerment project Hon. Langa has pursued. On this score, through the ‘Breathing Fish Farm Training Centre’, over 120 youth and women have been trained in aquaculture. These farmers are now awaiting loans from Citizen’s Economic Empowerment Commission to start their projects.

Other notable projects she initiated especially working with corporate partners include the construction of Marcopolo Police Post by Marcopolo Tiles and also the roofing of a market

by SunShare Company.

She is thankful that in this time of Covid-19 companies like CAMCO and Trade Kings provided Covid-19 preventive materials to Chilanga. She is also appreciative to Radian Stores for donating TV sets to Mwembeshi Correctional Facility. All this, shows she is trying to work with the corporate community to better Chilanga.

However, her biggest plan is to introduce an Arts and Crafts Centre at Mundawanga, which she believes will promote tourism in her constituency. On this move, she has already engaged stakeholders including the tourism ministry.

These projects, according to her, are targeted at uplifting the lives of the people of Chilanga and Hon. Langa is ready to take up another challenge come 2021 to turn Chilanga into an industrial park.

particles of a substance lose kinetic energy and begin to move at a slow speed hence reducing the rate of diffusion.

Example 1 Study the diagrams below showing two cups of tea of the same size having equal volume of water.

CHEMISTRY - Diffusion Same amount of sugar was put in each cup and left for seven minutes without being shaken.

At the end of this topic the should be able to: § Describe diffusion § Demonstrate diffusion in liquids § Describe the factors that affect the rate of diffusion Diffusion is defined as the movement of particles from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. Since diffusion involves the movement of particles, it can be stated that there is no diffusion in a solid because particles in a solid cannot move.Therefore, diffusion occurs only in gases and liquids. Soluble solids diffuse in a liquid. See the figure below that shows diffusion.

Using kinetic theory of matter, it can be stated that the rate of diffusion in gases is faster than the rate of diffusion in liquid. This is because the particles of a gas have more kinetic energy than those in a liquid.

The difference in concetration of particles of a substance between two regions creates a concetration gradient. This gradient causes particles to move from the region of higher concetration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion in liquids The diagram below illustrates diffusion in a liquid.

Example 2

Study the table below which shows some gases.

a) In which cup will the tea taste sweeter than the other? b) Give a reason the answer in part (a) c) State and define the process that cause the effect in part (a) Solutions a) The tea cup B will taste sweeter than the tea in cup A after seven minutes. b) The tea in cup B is at a higher temperature than in cup A, hence the sugar put in cup B will diffuse at a faster throughout the tea making it taste sweeter. c) The process causing the effect in part(a) is diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of the particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Concentration is another factor that affect the rate of diffusion. In terms of solution, concentration is defined as the amount of solute in a solution. Concentration mainly affect the diffusion of particles that are in a solution form. The greater the concetration difference between two regions the faster the rate of diffuion will be. As the

concentration gradient reduces, Page 3the of 6 particles will begin moving at a slow speed, thereby reducing the rate of diffusion until equilibrium state is reached.

Molecular mass is another another factor that affect the rate of diffusion. The particles that are small in terms of molecular mass move fater than those that are large. For example, a gas that has larger molecular mass will move slowly than the one with smaller molecular mass. In terms of diffusion, hydrogen moves faster than oxygen because hydrogen is lighter than oxygen. Study the diagram below that illustrate the effect of molecular mass on the rate of diffusion.

Name of the gas Sulphur dioxide Nitrogen Helium Oxygen Carbon moxide Methane

Formula SO2 N2 He O2 CO CH4

a) Identify from above table the gas that will diffuse at faster rate and give a reason for your answer. b) Which gases are expected to diffuse at the same rate? c) Name the gas that would diffuse two times faster than sulphur dioxide.

Solutions a) Helium will diffuse at a faster rate because its molecular mass(4) is less than those of other gases. b) The gases expected to diffuse at the same rate must have the = 28 same molecular mass. Mr of N2 = 14x2 Mr of CO = 12 + 16 = 28 Therefore, nitrogen and Carbon monoxide will diffise at the same rate. a) The gas that diffuses two times faster that sulphur dioxide must have its molecular mass(Mr) two times less than that of sulphur dioxide.

Mr of SO2 = 32 +2(16)= 64 Mr of O2 = 2 x 16 = 32 64/32 = 2 Therefore, oxygen is expected to diffuse twice faster than sulphur dioxide.

Factors that affect the rate of diffusion The following are the factors that affect the rate of diffusion : § Temperature § Concentration § Molecular mass Temperature is defined as degree of hotness of coldness of a substance.When temperature is high, the rate of diffusion also becomes high. This is because when temperature is high, the particles of a substance gain more kinetic energy and begin to move at fast speed hence increasing the rate of diffusion.

On the other hand, when temperature is low, the rate of diffusion also becomes low. This is because when temperature is low, the

particles of a substance lose kinetic energy and begin to move at a Page rate 2 of 6 of diffusion. slow speed hence reducing the Example 1 Study the diagrams below showing two cups of tea of the same size having equal volume of water.

Page 1 of 6 When dye molecules are droped into the liquid as shown in the above diagram,they will begin to diffuse from the place where they are highly concetranted to the place when they are in low concentration.

The molecules of a dye are distributed throughout the water by the water molecules that move in a random motion. This can be seen by the distribution of the colour of the dye throught the liquid. If the temperature of the water is increased, molecules of the dye will be distributed throughout the water at a faster rate.

From the above the set up, ammonia gas will diffuse from the cotton wool soaked in aqueous ammonia towards the right side. Similarly hydrogen chloride gas will difffuse from the cotton wool soaked in hydrochloric acid. When two gases meet, they will react to form a white ring of ammonium chloride(NH4Cl). See the chemical equation below.

NH3(g) + HCl(g)

NH4Cl(s)

The distance moved by ammonia to the point where they meet is longer than the distance moved by hydrogen chloride gas. This is because the molecular mass of hydrogen chloride( 36.5) is greater than that of ammonia gas(17). This is because hydrogen chloride molecules are heavier than molecules of ammonia gas.Therefore, it can be concluded that a gas with smaller molecular mass diffuses faster than the gas with larger molecular mass.

41 MILLION KENYANS TO GET COVID-19, OVER 620,000 TO DIE - PROJECTION

From page 1 Researchers caution against easing the current restrictions without proper interventions.

Up to 41 million Kenyans could be infected and more than 620,000 die with Covid-19

by January in the worst-case scenario, University of Nairobi researchers predict.

But with the current rate of infection and restrictions of movement and closure of schools, nearly 32 million people will be infected with 479, 848 dying.

The study was conducted before April 6, when President Uhuru Kenyatta enforced travel bans into and out of four hotspot counties and enacted other measures to contain the virus.

It means that with the current measures the higher rates of infection projected by UoN’s department of microbiology are highly unlikely.

Prof Omu Anzala, a researcher on the Kenya AIDS Vaccine Initiative (Kavi) team presented the projections before the Senate Committee on Covid-19 Situation on Thursday.

“The model assumes uniform transmission throughout the

country, however, with intensive preventive measures it would be possible to prevent transmission in particular regions,” Anzala said.

Prof Anzala said that by midSeptember, at least 5,551,243 people will have been infected with mild or asymptomatic cases. Some 786,344 will be moderate and 241,360 others will be severe cases in the worstcase scenario.

Last week, acting director general for Health Patrick Amoth said that the county will hit its peak in August-September going by the current rate of infection.

The UoN researchers projected that by the September peak, the country will require 786,344 hospital beds, with 241,360 with ventilators in the worst case.

But at the current projection, 355,909 beds will be required with 114, 740 in ICU with ventilators.

Nairobi will require 4,420 ICU beds and 13,711 hospital beds, Kericho will require 6,585 ICU

beds and 20,424 hospital beds, and Kiambu will need 3,325 ICU beds and 10,315 hospital beds.

The researchers listed 15 counties that are likely to have extreme or severe cases that may require special attention from the government.

FIGHT CORONAVIRUS:

Tokyo - Countries from the US to South Africa to India were struggling to hold down rising rates of the coronavirus, as global deaths from Covid-19 surged past 600 000 in a sign of how far off the world remains from a return to normalcy.

More than 14.3 million people have been reported to be infected by the novel coronavirus globally and 600 497​have died, according to the latest Reuters tally.

The World Health Organization on Saturday again reported a single-day record of new infections with 259 848.

While the United States leads global infections with 3 727 371 cases and 139 994 deaths, South Africa now ranks as the fifth worst-hit country in the pandemic with 350,879 cases - roughly half of all those confirmed on the African continent.

Brazil was second with 2 074 860 cases and 78 772 deaths.

This week India became the third country in the world to record more than one million coronavirus cases.

India currently has 1 038 716 cases and 26 273 deaths have been confirmed. Russia reported 765 437 cases and 12 247 deaths.

On Saturday night the Department of Health confirmed that South Africa currently has 350 879 Covid-19 cases, an increase of 13 285 cases since Friday.

A total of 144 deaths were reported over the past 24 hours, the national Department of Health said.

The recovery rate has remained stable, with 182 230 people, or 52 percent of patients, having fully recovered.

On Saturday night Health Minister Zweli Mkhize issued a statement reiterating an appeal he made on June 28 for South Africans to take the pandemic seriously and to adhere to government’s strategy and regulations to curb the spread of the virus.

“We are extremely concerned that fatigue seems to have set in and South Africans are letting down their guard at a time when the spread of infection is surging. We see poor or no social distancing in communities. Masks are being abandoned or not worn properly and there is laxity setting in around frequent hand-washing.” Mkhize said.

“This will directly influence the rise in numbers in the next two weeks,” he cautioned.

Donald Trump’s tweet disabled by Twitter over copyright complaint WASHINGTON - Twitter Inc disabled a campaign-style video that President Donald Trump retweeted on Saturday, citing a copyright complaint.

The video, which included music from the group Linkin Park, disappeared from the president’s Twitter feed late Saturday with the notification: “This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner.”

Twitter removed the video, which Trump had retweeted from White House social media

He further stated that tests for Covid-19 would be conducted 72 hours before any game for all the players.

Mulenga said Division one teams would also go through the same process as it was the government’s goal to protect citizens. On Saturday, Forest Rangers became the first team to record Covid-19 cases concerning 28 of their players including boy boys.

Meanwhile, the Football Association of Zambia has disclosed that all Buildcon FC players have tested negative for Covid-19.

FAZ Communications Manager Sydney Mungala said the association would proceed with the league as guided by Mulenga who chaired the Consultative meeting on Saturday.

“Following a consultative meeting among stakeholders chaired by Minister of Youth Sport and Child Development, Emmanuel Mulenga the Football Association of Zambia will proceedDAILY with the scheduled matches,” said.

LEWIS Hamilton moved into the world championship lead for the first time this season with a dominant victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

The Mercedes driver pulled out an eight-second lead in three wet laps at the start of the race before switching to dry tyres, and controlled the race from there.

Hamilton even had time to stop for fresh tyres with three laps to go to grab the extra point for fastest lap.

Valtteri Bottas failed in an attempt to pass Red Bull’s Max Verstappen for second, giving Hamilton a five-point championship lead over his team after three races.

Verstappen’s second place was extraordinary, for he crashed on the laps to the grid and damaged both his front wing and suspension.

The Red Bull mechanics worked wonders to change his left front push-rod on the grid in the time permitted and get him into the race and he then drove a superb race to hold off Bottas at the end.

It was Hamilton’s second consecutive victory in the third race of the season, and it came after another anti-racism protest from the drivers before the race.

The two players exchanged breaks of serve initially, but it was Burrage who went ahead to take the first set.

After being made to work hard to hold serve early in the second set, Boulter eventually broke the stalemate to go 4-2 up.

Burrage broke back immediately as Boulter’s unforced errors count rose in challenging, windy conditions.

Another break put the 21-year-old 6-5 up, but she could not close out the match as Boulter broke back to take the second set to a tie-break.

Boulter upped her level to take it to a third set and continued to dominate from there, breaking serve twice and sealing victory.

Burrage is ranked higher at 289th in the world, but Boulter - who is returning from a back injury - was favourite to win the domestic tournament at Roehampton.

Mulenga said the players that had tested positive were in isolation at Levy Mwanawasa stadium.

The four join the 28 players and club officials who tested positive for Covid-19 from Forest Rangers who were set to take on ZANACO FC on Saturday in a league opener which was eventually cancelled.

However Mulenga who is also a Ndola lawmaker indicated that the league was going to proceed as planned despite the recorded cases.

Mulenga said the matches would go ahead because the immediate contacts had tested negative for Covid19.

By MICHAEL MIYOBA THE MTN/FAZ Super Division finally swung into action as defending Champions Zesco United survived a scare and avoided defeat to hold Kansanshi Dynamos 1-1 at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Striker Jese Were scored a late equaliser to cancel out Clement Mwape’s own goal which had given the Beston Chambeshi tutored Kansashi Dynamos the lead four minutes into the second half of the tightly contested fixture.

The stalemate pushed Zesco who recorded two positive cases of Covid-19 to fourth on the 18-team Super Division table with 43 points.

The Ndola giants are on par with Kitwe giants, Nkana who moved to fifth on the log because of goal deference.

Kansanshi maintained their 14th position on the log with 26 points and look set to survive the relegation battle.
