GOVERNMENT has blocked the Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) from cutting power supply to Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) following the expiration of its Power Supply Agreement (PSA) with the mining giant. Meanwhile, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) has warned that any interference in power supply by CEC to the mining giant will amount to sabotage because the Power Supply Agreement (PSA) between the two entities has expired and a new agreement between KCM and Zesco is under negotiation. Speaking to the Daily Nation yesterday, Minister of Energy, Mathew Nkhuwa said Government has declared Copperbelt

Energy Corporation (CEC) transmission and distribution lines as common carrier of electricity. Mr Nkhuwa said declaring CEC lines as common carries meant that any entity could use them to transmit power to their customers and only pay a wheeling fee. He said with respect to a Statutory Instrument No. 57 of 2020 under the Electricity Act No.11 of 2019, Zesco is obliged to use CEC’s transmission lines to transmit power to KCM by paying the agreed wheeling fee to be agreed by the two entities. Mr. Nkhuwa said if the two parties fail to reach a consensus over the amount to be paid, the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) would determine terms and conditions. To Page 3

SAVING KCM

GOVERNMENT must be commended over its bold move to ensure the beleaguered Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) continues to operate by ensuring that it has undisrupted supply of power. The firm was in danger of going under, putting thousands of jobs at risk and causing untold damage to the country’s economic wellbeing due to threats by the Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) to cut off power supplies. This, according to KCM Corporate Affairs General Manager Shapi Shachinda came after CEC had issued a statement in which it indicated that it intended to switch off power supply to KCM from today - June 1, 2020. He said this was because the 20-year PSA between CEC and KCM expired on March 31, 2020, and was extended by mutual agreement to May 31, 2020. He said KCM had entered into a binding Term Sheet Agreement for a new PSA between Zesco effective June 1, 2020 and that Zesco was expected to conclude a wheeling agreement with CEC to transmit power from Zesco, via CEC infrastructure, to KCM operations. “This will enable Zesco to transmit power to KCM using CEC infrastructure, pending the wheeling agreement between CEC and Zesco. We expect a seamless transition in the supply of power from CEC to Zesco and any interference or restriction will be an act of sabotage,” Mr. Shachinda said. Government has therefore effectively stopped CEC from cutting power to KCM by freeing its transmission and distribution lines to allow Zesco Limited supply power to KCM. Minister of Energy Mathew Nkhuwa has just signed a Statutory Instrument No. 57 of 2020 declaring the CEC lines as open carrier, meaning that Zesco can use them. There are times when governments must take drastic action so as to protect strategic institutions, be it security or economic for the common good. And this, we believe is what Government has done – to stop CEC from stopping to supply power to KCM. According to the SI No.57 of 2020, the transmission lines currently operated by CEC have been declared as a common carrier for the purposes of the Electricity Act and shall be used on the terms and conditions determined by the Energy Regulation Body (ERB). Mr Nkhuwa said declaring CEC lines as common carries means that any entity could use them to transmit power to their customers and only pay a wheeling fee. He said with respect to a Statutory Instrument No. 57 of 2020 under the Electricity Act No.11 of 2019, Zesco is obliged to use CEC’s transmission lines to transmit power to KCM by paying the agreed wheeling fee to be agreed by the two entities. Mr. Nkhuwa said if the two parties fail to reach a consensus over the amount to be paid, the Energy Regulation Board would determine terms and conditions. We feel that CEC was just trying to bully its way into forcing an agreement with KCM even though it realises the mining firm’s weak position – that it is under liquidation pending its divorce from Vedanta. Government had to step in for strategic reasons and ensure that national interests come first, and not monetary benefits. If anything, CEC is the stronger partner in this business relationship. The CEC, the country’s electricity provider to the mines generated more than nine percent operating profits last year as demand for power increases in the nation. According to company secretary Ms Julia Chaila, it realised US$167,294 154,169 in revenue for the financial year ending December 31 following increased demand for power from the mines and other customers. It was therefore in a position to continue operating even if it had cut off supplies to KCM. We are glad that through SI No.57 of 2020, Government has given KCM a lifeline as the mining firm is guaranteed uninterrupted power what we can only describe as a predatory business associate.

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

OPING to ride on public outrage against the Chinese, NAREP president Stephen Nyirenda has gone on social media condemning the opening of restaurants claiming that bars owned by foreigners have been opened while native ones have been closed. And New Congress Party (NCP) president Peter Chanda has castigated Mr Nyirenda saying it was irresponsible for a man who is vying for a higher office of the land to try to ride on the Chinese tirade for political expediency.

Mr Nyirenda told the people of Zambia through his official Facebook page that it was time they woke up and fight back for their country. “Fellow Zambians, it is really time we woke up and took back this country. This country has been sold to foreigners and all we do is watch and complain. “Zambia is for Zambians, let that sink in! We need to fight for the little dignity we are left with. If we continue to watch foreigners grab all our opportunities, we will have nothing but complaints and regrets. In an interview, Mr Chanda took a swipe at the NAREP leader

describing him as an irresponsible politician who wanted to gain political mileage using a wrong method. Mr Chanda wondered why Mr Nyirenda could not report the foreign business owners to police instead of going on social media expressing pent-up shock.“He is a disgrace and irresponsible politician who wants to gain political mileage using a wrong method. My brother Stephen Nyirenda should know that what he is doing is to incite violence and already, we lost some Chinese nationals in Makeni. He advised Mr Nyirenda to desist from inciting violence but report to police if he was aggrieved.

Over 60 gold sites available for mining - ZCCM-IH By NATION REPORTER THERE are over 60 sites across the country with gold deposits and we are ready to work with any company that feels it has the experience and knowledge in processing and Karma Mining Services is just one of them, the Zambia Consolidated Coper Mines-Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH) has said. And ZCCM-IH says it will take-over 100 percent of its business with Karma after five years as stipulated in its agreement. Speaking on ZNBC’s Sunday Interview programme last night, ZCCMIH chief executive officer Mabvuto Chipata said there were a number of gold sites in Zambia and that they decided to work with Karma because it had already established itself and heavily invested in equipment. Mr. Chipata said the partnership with Karma Mining Services and Rural Development is one such partnership were the joint venture (Consolidated Gold Company Zambia) is entirely focused on gold processing. “The partnership we have with Karma is not exclusive. It doesn’t say they will

be the only ones who will process gold in the country. They only have the processing plant in Rufunsa. There are over 60 sites in this country and we can go it with any other Zambian who feel that they have the experience and knowledge in processing. “It doesn’t not stop us but there was an opportunity which cane with it. “Karma had already started operating in this country. Anyone in this country can obtain a licence. A Zambian or a foreigner, there is no restriction as to who gets the mining licence. Karma mining came in 2016 and registered their company for the model of processing gold,” Mr. Chipata said. He said if they were going to do it alone, they were going to set up their processing plant without ZCCM-IH but that because Government decided that the area of investment was important, they encouraged them to work with ZCCM-IH. “So, we joined into Karma when they had already started building their equipment to start their business. We were buying into an already existing business. The opposite would have been that we don’t buy into their

By CHARLES MUSONDA SMALL-SCALE farmers in North-Western Province should only sell their maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA), says provincial Permanent Secretary Willis Manjimela. Mr. Manjimela says the farmers risk being swindled by briefcase buyers if they do not sell their produce to the FRA. He said in most instances, small-scale farmers who sell their maize to scrupulous buyers were swindled out of their

business and get nothing,” he said. And Mr. Chipata said ZCCM-IH will take-over the entire business with Karma after five years as stipulated in its agreement. “Zambia has a shareholder agreement with Karma that after five years, we will take-over the company 100 percent and this is in the agreement. We are not obliged only to continue working only with karma in doing processing inn Zambia,” he said. Meanwhile, Mr. Chipata said a lot of Zambians who have exploration licences have had challenges to start because exploration means that they have to sink in money to find out how much material is on the ground. “For lack of financing, a lot of areas are not explored because a lot of Zambians out there do have licences but lack funding and equipment and they have not been able to explore. “This is why this move that we are taking to formalise the sector is targeted at making sure that we can start helping our people to explore ad determine the quantity of gold and further determine how much they need to set up the mine,” Mr Chipata said.

I am not intimidated, says Sampa By NATION REPORTER MY recent apology to the Chinese community in Zambia over the tone and language I used towards one of them does not mean I have stopped fighting for the oppressed by abusive business owners, says Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa. Mr Sampa said he would continue exposing abusive foreign employers and engaging relevant offices and institutions mandated to take actions against them. “Let people not thing that I will be silenced, I will speak against any employer abusing Zambians. Of course I will involve authorities that are mandated to take appropriate action against labour law abusers,” Mr Sampa said. The mayor said all he wanted to see was mutual respect between an employer and employee be it in deed or speech regardless of their race or nationality. Recently, Mr Sampa in a statement issued an apology to the Chinese community and other leaders. He said he had reviewed events with regards to his monitoring and conduct towards some business houses and accepted his error in judgment of physically going to the business premises and closed it instead of engaging relevant offices and institutions. Mr Sampa promised to engage investors where his office felt that there was misconduct or breach of laws in a more civil manner through relevant offices and institutions.

Sell maize to FRA, North-West farmers told produce. The FRA last week announced that it will buy white maize at K110 per bag for the 2020 crop marketing season. Mr. Manjimela was speaking in Solwezi over the weekend when Nyimba Investment officials went to inspect delivery of farming inputs for the 2020/2021 farming season. “Word of caution to our farmers is that do not sell to scrupulous buyers. Make sure you sell to the Food Reserve

Agency,” said Mr. Manjimela. He said President Edgar Lungu wants the agriculture sector to grow and urged fertiliser distribution companies to deliver the inputs on time. And Kasempa District Commissioner Goodson Sansakuwa said the province would be able to record a bumper harvest because inputs have been delivered on time. Provincial Agriculture Coordinator Derrick

Simukanzye said the region had in the previous seasons recorded a bumper harvest because of the early delivery of farming inputs Meanwhile, Nyimba Investment Head - Sales and Marketing Willings Mulendema said the company was contracted to supply 25, 474 metric tonnes of fertiliser for the province and has so far offloaded into their storage sheds over 3, 000 metric tonnes.

Audit foreign permits - Mumbi There’s nothing wrong with By NATION REPORTER

GOVERNMENT should institute an audit into all permits issued to foreign businesses to establish what criteria was used in the issuance of the documents, Edward Mumbi has said. Mr Mumbi, in an interview yesterday, said there was need to establish how permits and trading licences were issued to foreigners by the Immigration Department and councils respectively to avoid a situation where some foreign investors had ended up opening barbershops. Mr Mumbi attributed the situation where some investors had ended opening barbershops and other business meant for Zambians to rampant corruption in councils and failure by the Immigration Department’s inspectorate to follow up foreigners they issue with permits. This, he stated, was what had plunged the nation into the mess where some foreign investors were reportedly abusing Zambians. “We need an inquiry on which foreigner is doing what in this country. We

should also have an inquiry into how the Immigration Department and the councils are issuing trading permits. We need to know how many investors we have. “To avoid this perpetual embarrassment levelled at the presidency, let there be an inquiry so that we know which investor is doing what. We need investors. “There is no question about this but we need to have an inquiry and revisit the permits,” Mr Mumbi said. The Immigration Department, he added, appears to be heavily corrupt but their corruption was hidden in the fact that Zambia wanted investment. “What happens is that a person who has opened a barbershop came in the country and gave a different profile when applying for a business permit, be it work or investment permit. The problem is that they have no follow-up inspections to the people that they issue with permits. “When the President says we open our doors to investors, it does not mean that you should go to sleep and not to apply the strict rules

Lazard fair option for Zambia - Global expert By NATION REPORTER

THE US$5 million that Government will pay the French company, Lazard Freres, for debt advisory services is a fair deal because the benefits by far exceed the amount, renowned Global Financial Expert Chishimba Brian Yumbe, has said. Mr. Yumbe said the contract was about debt restructuring and not debt management and that debt restructuring and its benefits could be quantified and will most likely far exceed the US $$5 million fee. Among the net benefit to the country to debt restructuring, Mr. Yumbe said, included debt rescheduling which would accord Zambia an op-

portunity to negotiate longer payment term. He also said this could lead to debt refinancing, which will help Zambia have new bond issuance at better interest rates to new creditors and use the proceeds to pay off the old bonds. “Of our total external debt of US $11 billion, annual interest is estimated at about US $1 billon. Refinancing even US $1 billion of, say, Eurobond debt at a 1 percent better interest rate yields annual savings of US $10 million. “However, a caution is that with the deterioration in the sovereign credit rating of Zambia, it may not be easy to find takers at lower interest rates. That’s why the IMF

that are expected within the confines of the laws of this country. “Look at the council. How are they issuing trading licences? Do they know who they are giving the trading licences to? They have an inspectorate also and we expect them to be alive to the fact that there are people who are doing businesses for which they were not issued licences,” Mr. Mumbi said. He said the perception that had been created that every Zambian who spoke against foreigners was being xenophobic was created by careless individuals in Government wings responsible for issuing permits to foreigners. “The problem now is that when we talk about the mischief that is being perpetrated by foreign nationals such as the Chinese, people think it is xenophobia. It is the people entrusted with the responsibility who are messing us up but it is the President who shoulders the blame. “Let us have decency in the manner that permits are given to the foreigners. To stop the rot,” he said. programme remains very key to raising credit worthiness and perceptions for attracting capital into Zambia, including refinancing debt,” Mr Yumbe said. He said debt restricting would help with debt buy back, which involves raising money to pay off debts at their existing trading values that are lower since the second Eurobond is trading below 50 cents per dollar from 94 cents two years ago. Mr Yumbe said debt restructuring would also lead to debt reduction where the creditors agree to a lower principal repayment. He however said this was not feasible for commercial debt such as Eurobonds but may work for public debt. “There is a presumption of value for money in a restructuring deal. I have seen comments online of people questioning why the contract could not be given to local Zambians adding that we have so many PhDs etc.

CEC lines now common carrier - State From Page 1

“CEC as private entity has now been declared a common carrier and that means that they can carry power for another utility. They cannot argue that they cannot carry the power on their transmission lines. “Zesco has signed an agreement with KCM and CEC will carry the power to KCM and they will pay wheeling charges. These wheeling charges will be agreed upon but there is a benchmark set by ERB. If they don’t agree, they will be on the ERB price,” Mr. Nkhuwa said. And KCM Corporate Affairs General Manager Shapi

Shachinda said KCM expected nothing less than a seamless transition in the supply of power from CEC to Zesco and warned that any interference or restriction will be an act of sabotage. He expressed surprise that CEC had issued a statement in which it indicated that it intended to switch off power supply to KCM with effect from today (June 1, 2020). He said this was because the 20-year PSA between CEC and KCM expired on March 31, 2020, and was extended by mutual agreement to May 31, 2020. He said KCM had entered

into a binding Term Sheet Agreement for a new PSA between Zesco effective June 1, 2020 and that Zesco was expected to conclude a wheeling agreement soonest with CEC to transmit power from Zesco, via CEC infrastructure, to KCM operations. “This will enable Zesco to transmit power to KCM using CEC infrastructure, pending the wheeling agreement between CEC and ZESCO.

Lazard deal - Haabazoka

…. blames criticism on lack of in-depth knowledge on international money, capital markets By NATION REPORTER THE debate over the procurement of advisory services from a French company, Lazard Freres, is driven by ignorance on international money and capital markets, says Economic Association of Zambia president Lubinda Haabazoka. Zambia has hired Lazard Freres to provide advisory services regarding liability management for its debt portfolio and will spend US$5 million for the undertaking. However, this has created a ruckus among, mainly, opposition political parties who see this as an unnecessary expenditure, with some of the offering to carry out the undertaking on behalf of Government at no cost. But commenting on the matter, Dr. Haabazoka yesterday said he was not surprised by the debate as it was driven by lack of knowledge on the matter as it was new to Zambia. “I am not surprised that there

is debate over the procurement of advisory services for Zambia’s debt. The debate is driven by probably lack of depth with regards to knowledge on international money and capital markets. These things are relatively new in Zambia. “In international finance, especially in areas that involve big money, both lenders and borrowers acquire the services of financial and other advisors to help structure financial packages,” Dr. Haabazoka said. He said in the case of a syndicate loan, a loan was given to a borrower by two or more lenders under one loan agreement since such loans were huge, meaning, one lender could not afford to provide it. Dr. Haabazoka explained that to arrange that loan, the borrower advertised for the procurement of the services of a bank advisor and that this advisor will be the one to guide in the whole financing structure. “Bank advisors should also be ready to perform the roles of

a lender to instill confidence in other banks that plan to join the structuring of finance. So from this, you can see that what the Zambian Government was looking for is not human beings or individual economists but experienced international banks. “The price of these advisory services can be costly because of the work and amounts of money involved. To understand the magnitude of the subject, citizens should read wide on the funding of the Euro tunnel,” Dr. Haabazoka said.

UPND stays put on Bill 10 By NATION REPORTER

O

UR position on Bill 10 has never changed and we are determined to shoot it down again when Parliament resumes, the United Party for National Development (UPND) has maintained. But the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) in Kasama has charged that the UPND leaders’ rigid stance on Bill 10 would never win them an election as they were de-campaigning themselves over the antagonistic approach towards a progressive piece of legislation. Speaking to the Daily Nation yesterday, UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma said his party was determined to make Bill 10 fail because it was not in the best interest of the country but the ruling party which had consistently pushed for it even when Zambians had rejected it. He said there was no reason why the UPND MPs should not change their position over the matter because the party had made its position known from the onset. “There is no single reason to even change our position on Bill 10. Nothing has changed between the time we decided to reject Bill 10 and now. So, the status quo remains that UPND is opposed to that Bill,” Mr. Kakoma said. And Mr. Kakoma has blasted chairperson of the select parliamentary committee on Bill 10, Raphael Nakacinda, for attempting to lure traditional leaders in Western Province to summon UPND MPs in the area and force them to support Bill 10. He said Mr. Nakacinda’s mission to Western Province was unprecedented in the history of Parliament in Zambia. “Having been an MP for a long time, I know that Parliament works in such a way that there is no activity under it where a chairperson of a select committee goes alone to start lobbying other stakeholders to vote for the Bill. “Where this has happened, the select committee takes a tour of institutions or an area to interact with people to get their views. That is how the Parliament committee system works. It can’t be a oneman show where a chairperson goes solo to go and lobby chiefs. That is a strange way of conducting parliamentary business,” he said. But Kasama district PF vice chairperson, Aaron Zimba, said the same Bill 10 which the UPND was opposing, would make them lose the 2021 elections. Mr. Zimba said while the UPND leadership thought they were fixing the PF by derailing the Bill, they were fixing themselves because Zambians knew that Bill 10 was progressive and that the UPND was an enemy of that progress.

we are yet to receive our own tests results and members of the public will be informed when results are out. For now they are all suspects,” he added. He has since called for strict adherence to laid down measures to ensure that the district remained Covid-19 free. “The district has no case of coronavirus so far. To the residents of Siavonga, let's ensure that even as we conduct our business, let's heed to Covid-19 guidelines,” he said.

Embrace new members, Lungu tells Mwinilunga PF PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has advised Patriotic Front (PF) members in Mwinilunga to embrace and work with new members so as to strengthen the party. President Lungu said the PF could only grow and be strengthened if old members work with new ones. Mr Lungu said this in Mwinilunga yesterday at a meeting with party officials in Kanyama area. "I am tired of receiving reports from you on who is new and not. Just work together with all the members," he said. President Lungu has also encouraged party members to form cooperatives and access empowerment funds. "Do not look at empowerment as only money in the pocket, but as something to make you free from dependent on others. Form cooperatives and start engaging yourselves

in income generation activities such as fish farming, livestock production and we are ready as a party to support you," Mr Lungu said. He also advised PF acting Mwinilunga district chairman Henry Kakisa to listen to the people he is leading. President Lungu said the PF believed in fairness and urged members to work hard and ensure victory in the 2021 general elections. The President was in the district where he inspect-

ed the Kanyama livestock breeding centre, Kalelwa fish farm project for Chief Kanyama and also launched the aqua-culture seed fund project. – ZANIS.

Poaching drops Council workers evicted from rented houses in Shiwang’andu By SIMON MUNTEMBA

By PETER MALASHA

POACHING has drastically reduced in North Luangwa National Park, Shiwangandu District Commissioner Evelyn Kangwa has said. Ms Kangwa said there was now sanity and calm in Luangwa National Park compared to previous years. She attributed the reduction to Government's intervention through providing protection of wildlife and taking strategic actions through the Department of National Parks and Wildlife. Ms Kangwa was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation at the weekend. She said the Department of National Parks and Wildlife has driven away poachers from the park. "We are thanking the Department of National Parks and Wildlife for being vigilant and driving away poachers from the North Luangwa National Park," she said. Ms. Kangwa said animals were now moving freely and had multiplied as compared to the past when poaching activities were high. She said however that because of free movement, some animals were crossing over to people's fields causing destruction to cassava and maize. Ms. Kangwa also said that animal species that reduced because of poaching had now started increasing for tourism purposes. "This time animals have increased in numbers such that they are even reaching human settlements," she added.

SOME unionised workers at Chipata City Council have been evicted from houses by their landlords for failing to settle house rentals because they have not been paid in the last seven months, one of the employees has disclosed. But Minister of Local Government, Charles Banda said the Local Government Equalisation Fund had been disbursed to all councils including Chipata and wondered why workers had not yet been paid. A worker who sought anonym-

ity for fear of victimisation complained that he and others had not been paid their salaries for seven months. “Tikaliye kufola nalelo, ni seven months lomba kuliye salary. M’mang’anda ya rent batipisha, ayakine ebalonda katundu yao kuli ma landlord. Yakosa life kuno ku Chipata monga tusebenza lini. “Tenze na meeting ya ZULAWU pa Chisano koma kwenze tyala madandaulo yeka-yeka. Aliyense council worker adandaula. Executive committee ya ZULAWU yetichita promise kuti ilabile na boma” the source said. (We have not yet been paid for

seven months now and we have been chased from houses by landlords. Life has become so difficult for us as if we don’t work. (We had a meeting with ZULAWU where there was nothing but complaints by workers. Union officials promised to engage the government on the issue) And when contacted, ZULAWU Secretary General Emmanuel Mwinsa said staying for seven months without pay was negligence on the part of council management. Mr Mwinsa said he understood that the funding of equaliaation fund by the government had not

been consistent but that keeping workers for seven months without pay was uncalled for. He has assured the workers of engagement with the council management to settle their salary arrears. But Mr Banda, when conacted, said the Local Government Equalisation Fund had been disbursed to all the 116 councils and wondered why workers had not yet been paid. Meanwhile, Mr Banda said Government had done its part of giving grants to all the councils stating that the generation of the payroll was up to the respective councils.

measures so as to protect themselves and their customers from infection. He said that the preventive measures were meant to preserve life and as such must be supported by all. And Chongwe District Commissioner Robster Mwanza, sad the donation would go a long way in easing the suffering of the people.

Mr Mwanza said that the disabled and aged in the market must be prioritised in the distribution of such donations. Chongwe market association chairman Sylvester Mubiana, described the donation as a booster. He observed that marketeers were struggling to buy mealie meal due to low sales.

Chongwe traders in mealie meal galore By JOHN KOMBE

MARKETEERS in Chongwe had a bountiful weekend after receiving 1, 000 bags of mealie meal donated by President Edgar Lungu. Chongwe Member of Parliament Japhen Mwakalombe, handed over the consignment packaged in 12.5kg bags. Mr. Mwakalombe told the marketeers that the mealie meal was meant to help them supplement their household food security amid the Covid-19 pandemic. He said that President Lungu donated the mealie because he was concerned about the welfare of the people, especially during the outbreak of Covid-19. Mr. Mwakalombe, who is also

Copperbelt Minister, stressed that the mealie meal would benefit every marketeer regardless of their political affiliation. He said that the Head of State was not a President for the PF alone, but was for all Zambians and as such no one must be discriminated against. Mr Mwakalombe said the PF was a party for all the people because it won the elections for all Zambians. He also reminded the marketeers that he would continue to monitor the revolving fund which he provided so that as many traders as possible could benefit. Mr. Mwakalombe reminded marketeers to ensure that they adhered to the Covid-19 preventive

BOZ WARNS AGAINST ILLEGAL MONEY SCHEMES By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

T

HE Bank of Zambia (BoZ) has warned people to desist from participating in illegal money circulation scheme as they will be liable to prosecution once caught. “Whoever participates in a money circulation scheme or issues a notice, a circular or invites members of the public to subscribe to it commits an offence and are liable upon conviction,” says BoZ Acting Communications Manager, Besnart Mwanza. Ms Mwanza said under the Banking and

Bank of Zambia Financial Services Ac, a person caught participating in the scheme, upon conviction could be fined or imprisoned. She said this during the BoZ radio show programme on Radio Phoenix.

“The Act is very clear on this matter, however, it is important to note that in the past, the Bank was only prosecuting promoters of such businesses but going forward, participants in such schemes will

also be prosecuted for taking part in an illegal activity,” she said. Ms Mwanza explained that the red flag of an illegal money circulation scheme included a promise of higher returns on profit or no risk at all. “The returns are sometimes just too good to be true so every investment carries some degree of risk, investments with higher yields attract higher risks. “Member of the public are encouraged to be suspicious of investments that promote consistent returns regardless of the market conditions,” she said.

ZAMBIA’S inflation forecast remains elevated given strained macroeconomic fundamentals in the Covid-19 pandemic era. Currency weakness continues to worsen higher input costs while Covid-19 related disruptions weigh the non-food side of the consumer price index, Economics Association of Zambia (EAZ) National Secretary, Mutisunge Zulu, has said. Mr Zulu said in an interview that risks to inflation remained high given strained macroeconomic fundamentals in the Covid-19 disease pandemic era. The Bank of Zambia has however committed to bring back inflation within the six to eight target band in the longer term through managing liquidity conditions in open market operations. Zambia Statistics Agency (ZSA) last week announced that the country’s inflation rate shot to 16.6 percent this month

THE RISK FORUM IRMZA By FRANCIS ZIBA

A

FTER weeks of shutdowns and remote learning, schools around the country will today open doors to pupils preparing for examinations later in the year. Of course, many businesses and especially those considered as “essential”, kept their doors open with some operating at full capacity even at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, with Government signaling a gradual and steady return to the new normal, parents will send their children back to school with the hope that enough safeguards will have been put in place to avoid them becoming victims of Covid-19. In supporting schools to re-open in a phased and gradual way, the first priority to consider will be the health and well-being of all pupils and families and the staff. Just last week, South Korea closed hundreds of schools that had reopened a few days earlier and postponed the opening of many others after a spike in cases of the virus. This sent shockwaves through out the globe and a

The Institute of Risk Management Zambia “Helping you manage your risks”

BACK TO SCHOOL – REOPENING WITH A RISK-BASED APPROACH stark reminder to many that Covid-19 could be with us for many years to come. With new cases rising in Zambia and with no cure or vaccine in sight, there is a real risk of the virus relapsing into an uncontrolled pandemic. And with little information available to reassure parents on the reopening, many parents are asking the all familiar questions – Is it safe for Children to return to school? Where is the scientific guidance? What measures are schools putting in place to ensure that their children are safe? This is the more reason Government needs to adopt a risk-based approach to not only deal with the phased approach of reopening schools but to ensure that schools don’t become breeding grounds for the virus. This strategy entails testing, contact tracing and

isolation of the infected, with priority given to places where the medical impact of reducing infections is highest. Furthermore, given the protracted nature of the emergency, a risk-based approach to contain Covid-19 has an enormous advantage compared to the widely used strategies such as

the one adopted of a partial lockdown because it seeks to manage all the common risks associated with the epidemic, and not only the disease itself. Government has prescribed some guidelines under which schools will reopen and our Institute believes this move will provide

fillip to the beleaguered educational sector and the public at large and has assured Government of our commitment to ensure that the current plans remain under regular review. The Institute of Risk Management Zambia has further signaled tacit support for the Government and gone on to develop a Risk Assessment and Action Plan template for all schools both public and private, that will supplement Government’s guidelines during this phased reopening. The purpose of this risk assessment document is to set out the decisions taken and measures put in place to prepare for the phased re-opening of the school and ensure that schools continue to operate in a safe way. The Institute will also work with schools to ensure that they take into account their physical capacity on

from 15.7 percent recorded in April due to price increase in both food and non-food items. Key drivers of the May inflation were rise in charcoal prices, household textiles, soaps and pharmaceutical products. But Mr Zulu said other drivers of inflation to watch would be the import peg from trade with South Africa given the parity in exchange rate between the Rand and the Kwacha. “The Kwacha remains vulnerable and volatile in this disease pandemic period characterised by weak reserves at US$1.37 billion reflecting 2.8months of import cover as imports constrict due to muted activity,” he said. Mr Zulu said the Central Bank in announcing a 2.25 percent rate cut, remained alive to inflation risks that bordered on higher energy costs that kept operating environment of manufacturers elevated, resulting in higher than usual selling prices.

the school site and staffing levels. Schools will have to assess how many pupils and staff can be on site at any one time. This decision should be informed by the size and set up of the school size, individual risk assessments and guidelines for safety and physical distancing. As schools reopen, setting up a risk committee to guide and accelerate decision making may be appropriate in containing this virus in schools. The committee’s responsibilities might have to include critically evaluating a staff return-to-work policies and protocols, stress-testing work environment safety interventions and reviewing and refining processes after implementation. The committee can help a school to adapt and react quickly and ultimately be better positioned to protect the health and safety of pupils, staff and families as developments keep evolving daily in the fight against Covid-19. The challenges presented by this crisis though dire, somehow offers the opportunity to rethink the overall purpose, role, content and delivery of education in our country going forward and prepare education systems to deal with current and future crises through comprehensive and inter-sectoral approaches, by tapping into collective experience and practices from around the world.

'YOU ARE ALMOST MAKING POLICY IN THE DARK'

…says SARB governor Kganyago on managing Covid-19

Governor of the SA Reserve bank Lesetja Kganyago

J

OHANNESBURG - South Africa's economy is unlikely to go back to normal in the next two to three years – and the mean-

ing of "normal" is also up for interpretation, Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago has said. In an interview, Kganyago

said that the Covid-19 pandemic had produced a "tricky" environment where policymaking had become very complex. "You are almost making policy in the dark," he said. "The world economy will not be the same again. The South African economy will not be either… What used to be normal is not going to be the normality we return to." It is still unclear how many years it will take to return to a "post-Covid economy," he added. Rather, it will be more useful to learn to manage the changing circumstances. SA - which has had its sovereign credit rating downgraded to junk by all three major credit rating agencies - is facing its deepest crisis since the 1930s as a result of the economic shock of the coronavirus pandemic, which struck as the country was already in recession. The Reserve Bank has already warned that SA's financial system must brace for further "extraordinary shocks." The JSE All-Share Index lost 12 percent in the first four months of 2020, while the JSE Financials Index, in which banks, insurance and investment firms fall, dropped 32 percent by the end of April, according to data released by the central bank this past week. Treasury, meanwhile, has forecast that the economy

could, at worst, contract by as much as 16 percent this year, while the SA Revenue Service has warned that the stalled economy could mean tax loss of up to $16 million. "As we stand now, we have got to learn how to manage this economy in the context that we are faced with the Covid challenge. After they find a vaccine or cure, we are going to have to live with this Covid," Kganyago said. Recovery will require both fiscal policy and monetary policy to work together, he said, adding that he and Finance Minister Tito Mboweni frequently speak several times per day. But, he stressed, the Reserve Bank remains independent. – FIN24.

‘Retained forex to drive mines viability’ HARARE - Zimbabwe’s mines have hailed the decision by Fidelity Printers and Refiners (FPR) to increase the foreign currency retention threshold for gold miners as a step in the right direction and a development that will significantly enhance the viability of mines. Chamber of Mines of Zimbabwe (CoMZ) chief executive Isaac Kwesu said in an interview that mining companies had been struggling with viability issues because of the mismatch between the exchange rate for the portion paid in local currency and actual costs. Kwesu’s comments come after FPR, a unit of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe and the sole authorised official buyer of gold, raised the foreign currency retention threshold for gold producers from 55 to 100 for small miners/buying agents and 70 for large scale producers. Small-scale producers/ buying agents and artisanal miners, who account for 60 percent of the country’s annual production would be paid

in cash at a flat price of US$45 per gramme of gold, which authorities will discourage smuggling of the yellow metal. “Small-scale gold buying agents will have to enter an agency agreement with FPR, which contract shall clearly spell out the terms and conditions under which the agents shall operate,” FRP general manager Fradreck Kunaka, said in a statement on the new framework. Primary producers will therefore have the 70 percent of sales proceeds deposited into their nostro account at the ruling exchange rate, currently fixed at $25 to US$1, while the balance will be paid in the reintroduced local currency, the Zimbabwe dollars. Kwesu said the upward review of the retention thresholds was a step in the right direction, specifically the principle of adjusting the (forex) retention ratio for big producers to 70-30 ratio. He, however, noted that there obviously were quite a number of other factors that had been negatively affecting operations. – THE HERALD.

Mwinilunga fruit processing plant progressive SOCIAL MEDIA MY HOME ATTACKED BY 6 MEMORIAL PARK MANAGEMENT (one or two very drunk) So while I was away from home about 18 hours on official duty at the ZAF base, some strange people of about six came. They introduced themselves as management officials of the memorial park cemetery that we earlier in the day mentioned they were forcing blacks to sleep in the cemetery three months nonstop for some corona reasons. We came to know about it from one of the whistleblowers held inside and sent a note to my home across the road. The management officials who came home despite being told I was not there, opted to harass, insult, threaten and abuse my home security guards and other domestic workers. There was a near punch up at my gate as they insisted to enter. When I was told via phone I wondered why they would behave like that unless maybe they were drunk. This I had no doubt later after I arrived back and they came back. Long story short, I doubt they will ever enter my home yard and house ever again. Look out for BOBA TV next hour.

OPPOSITION MUST DEBATE BILL 10 IN PARLEY Dear Editor,

A

WEEK’S time or so Parliament will be resuming its sessions after it adjourned in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. One of the bills on top of the agenda is the controversial Bill 10 which is supposed to be brought back to the House for further debate. The opposition has always been against the bill and I can only wonder if they will take a different stand after the recess. Debate for and against have been going in the country since the bill was tabled in Parliament early last year. My prayer is that all arguments and contentious issues surrounding the Bill should be solved once and for all as

the nation heads towards the 2021 presidential elections. I fear that failure to do so could result in more confusions yet the Bill was an opportunity for those are against it to present their side of the matter. What baffles me is that the United Party for National Democracy (UPND) which is among opposition parties against contents of the bill is not certain about what it wants. It has criticised bill through and through without giving reasons why apart from claiming that it was meant to enable President Lungu secure a third terms. In my view, the opposition party should tell the nation what is bad about Bill 10 instead of just condemning. Let them come up with

alternative suggestions if contents of the Bill are not making sense instead of walking out of Parliament. I hope they won’t this time around. I would rather they fought it from within the House. We vote them to Parliament so they can make decisions on our behalf based on what we want as electorates and not their own wishes. So the electorate say they want Bill 10 the way it is, who are they to reject it? I don’t think all contents in Bill 10 are obnoxious My appeal to opposition MPs is go and fight our case in Parliament, don’t walk out. The nation needs to put to rest the issue of Bill 10 as we head towards 2021 elections. JIMMY MUSONDA, Kitwe.

Dear Editor, IT is encouraging to hear the government will finish construction of the fruit processing plant in Mwinilunga. At the weekend, President Edgar Lungu said works that had slowed down at the plant due to the Covid-19 outbreak would, would resume. As a country, I know that we are endowed with vast natural resources such as varieties of fruits, among others, which we have not taken advantage of to produce wealth for ourselves. But I believe time had come for us to start processing the fruits, some which just go to waste to add value to them. Mwinilungu is home to pineapples little wonder the UNIP government had decided to set up such a factory there. So instead of year in year out harvesting and looking at the fruits as they are, it will be good to add value by processing them into other products such as drinks among other products. In this way, the factory will create jobs for t youths in the area. Not only that, the economy in the district will improve as money will be in circulation and spill over benefits will extend to other districts in the province. But pineapples are not the only fruits in the country. Mangoes and guavas are other fruits that are in abundance once in season in many provinces. I urge the government to see the fruit processing plant to fruition so that they could end in at the processing plant in Mwinilunga and others which may be set up in the near future. I wonder what has happened to plans to set up a fruit processing plant in Katete where mangoes where in abundance once in season too. With these fruit processing plants at work, we can produce locally made health drinks as opposed to relying on foreign ones. In this way Zambians will be assured of jobs. In my opinion, Covid-19 has taught one thing, that is, to be self-sufficient in things which we manage to produce on our own and indeed they are many. I am urging government and Zambians to at large to take advantage of the Covid-19 impact to come up with innovative ideas on solving its own problems using home grown solutions. We can do it. MWALA MUBIANA, Ndola.

HH must stop misleading nation What Zambia needs today is mature leadership that must push us in the direction of President Kenneth Kaunda, not those who wish to be puppets of the West whose agenda is nothing but to continue looting from where they left. By MANDASHALO EVANS MWEWA

O

FTEN times, Zambians are referred to as being forgetful and it's for this reason that we exist to remind those with interest in the manner national matters are handled of how some key political players are nothing but opportunistic scavengers who only care about their personal political ambitions. Being in opposition does not mean one must practice politics of deception. From claiming that ZAFFICO, ZNBC and Zesco have been sold to the Chinese, UPND president Hakainde Hichilema has shamelessly shifted to insinuating that Government, through ZCCM-IH, sold a gold mine to foreigners at $2.5 million. Now, hear it from us, no gold mine has been sold to the Sudanese nationals for $2.5m. It's equally disheartening to notice that while the facts are in public domain over this issue, many have chosen to be misled instead of taking upon themselves to read and understand.

They say the definition of stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies. So Mr. Hichilema is either stupid or a liar who thinks Zambians are stupid. We would go for the latter in agreeing with what the late President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa observed about Mr. Hichilema. On pages 211-212 of “Levy Patrick Mwanawasa: An incentive for posterity” written by Amos Malupenga and edited by Professor Fackson Banda, the late President says: "The problem Mr. Hichilema has is the fact that he wants to cheat, to mislead, to show that he is what he is not. His understanding of politics is that it doesn’t matter; you can cheat, provided you get your goals!" We challenge Mr. Hichilema to tell Zambians the name of the mine ZCCM-IH has sold to the Sudanese nationals. We know he wants to sound relevant but we equally agree with President Mwanawasa in acknowledging that Mr. Hichilema wants to show that he is what he is not. So what has really happened? ZCCM-IH has partnered with Karma Mining Services Limited, a company owned by Sudanese nationals. Initially, Karma had set up a gold

CHALLENGE We challenge Mr. Hichilema to tell Zambians the name of the mine ZCCM-IH has sold to the Sudanese nationals. We know he wants to sound relevant but we equally agree with President Mwanawasa in acknowledging that Mr. Hichilema wants to show that he is what he is not.

processing plant in Rufunsa at a cost of about US$$3.5m, not a gold mining company but gold processing plant. Later, ZCCM-IH took interest in its operations, in line with its mandate, which led to the current partnership with the Sudanese firm. That partnership has been actualised through a special purpose vehicle called the Consolidated Gold Company Zambia Limited (CGCZ). CGCZ has been granted a mining processing licence in Rufunsa where it has approached two licence holders namely Chembe Gold Mine Limited and Sabi Gold Mine Limited. The mines remain the properties of Chembe Gold Mine and Sabi Gold Mine. The partnership is to use the mineral ore material from these mining companies to process gold. That partnership entails that 65 percent of the gold will be for CGCZ and 35 percent for the licence holders. Currently, CGCZ has applied for another mineral processing licence for Mumbwa where the company has approached a licence holder, Array Limited to utilise their mineral ore material. In other words, both CGCZ and Karma Mining Services are not carrying out any mining of the gold ore material but partnering with existing licence holders. All the gold recovered through this partnership shall all be sold to the Bank of Zambia, as

per government policy. Even though the law on the declaration of gold as a strategic mineral has not yet been concluded, the guarantee of securing the gold from this partnership comes from the contractual obligations of the parties and the directive to ZCCM-IH by Government. As can be seen from the explanation, this ZCCM- IH partnership with Karma is for the purpose of establishing gold processing facilities in the two sites namely Rufunsa and Mumbwa. The processing facilities have partnered with three existing licence holders out of a total of three, 666 licences in Zambia. So Mr. Hichilema must prove his ingenuity by raising funds and partner with the remaining 3, 663 licence holders instead of issuing misleading statements over the issue he does not fully grasp. It should be emphasised that Government encourages companies to invest in the mining sector and some have specialised only in processing materials such as Karma Mining Services, the subject of the current debate.

$2.5m

No gold mine has been sold to the Sudanese nationals for $2.5m. It’s equally disheartening to notice that while the facts are in public domain over this issue, many have chosen to be misled instead of taking upon themselves to read and understand.

There are 39 other companies that have mineral processing licences over tailing dumps and other mine tenements. Government has no objections to partnerships that ensure we increase the gold production because ultimately all the gold from the partnerships must end up with the central bank. It is very clear that in the absence of a verifiable alternative development agenda that should render the current one obsolete, Mr. Hichilema has chosen to mislead the nation on straight forward national matters knowing that many Zambians would rather be told about important issues

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema has shamelessly shifted to insinuating that Government, through ZCCM-IH, sold a gold mine to foreigners at $2.5 million. instead of reading on their own. What Zambia needs today is mature leadership that must push us in the direction of President Kenneth Kaunda, not those who wish to be puppets of the West whose agenda is nothing but to continue looting from where they left. Away from the usual political rhetoric, President Edgar Lungu is making the right political and economic decisions. Who has forgotten that Mr. Hichilema, in his limited wisdom, was advocating for a total lockdown when we all knew that Zambia could not economically afford a total lockdown. What, then, is leadership if it's missing in times of crises? Coronavirus cases in Africa remain lower than in some other parts of the world due to "strong country leadership," the World Health Organisation's (WHO) Regional Director for Africa said on Thursday. Africa has just 1.5 percent of the world’s reported cases of Covid-19, and less than 0.1 percent of the world’s deaths, according to the UN health agency. "With strong country leadership and implementation of social and public health measures, cases in Africa remain lower than in some other parts of the world,'' Dr. Matshidiso Moeti told a joint media briefing with WHO and the World Economic Forum. But back home, the opposition has downplayed the work of the Multi-sectoral Taskforce On Covid-19. This is not the democracy we need. This misplaced ideology of worshipping individuals over understanding party policies must end. Mr. Hichilema's future Minister of Finance and other senior UPND advisors advised President Lungu, to immediately seek an IMF bailout package. This is the Government in waiting. Have we forgotten so quickly our nasty experience with the IMF? Let's consult President Kenneth Kaunda over the subject. "We did not borrow anything from anyone from the beginning of time until 1973 when the oil prices went up and the copper prices went down creating serious foreign exchange shortages. I asked the IMF and the Word Bank for their advice. “They wrote back saying: ‘Borrow, because we think copper prices will soon be going up and we think that oil prices will be controlled.’ That is

when Zambia begun to borrow from abroad. “By 1985-87, I found out that the World Bank assistance was not helping to improve the situation. We were instead growing poorer, and more indebted; and the debt levels were unsustainable. The IMF and World Bank policies and programmes were not improving the situation.” Africa needs to learn and to understand what IMF and World Bank stand for. I am not blaming the people themselves. But these institutions are victims of the machinations of the powerful nations of this world. When you borrow money, you also have expenses, they call them overheads. A lot of the loans go to pay for

The problem Mr. Hichilema has is the fact that he wants to cheat, to mislead, to show that he is what he is not. His understanding of politics is that it doesn’t matter; you can cheat, provided you get your goals!

overhead costs like costs of administrative staff sent to manage the loans, costs of consultants who come to tell you what you already know, costs of computers and four-wheel drive vehicles that do not reduce poverty and so on and so forth. Before you know it, more than 70 or 80 percent of the loan money has gone back to the rich countries whose people are employed to do feasibility studies or work on the projects and the poor country has a high debt burden." We want leadership that will once again effectively put money in the hands of Zambians and not foreigners. For this reason, we expected Mr. Hichilema's advisors to push government to operationalise the newly created ZCCM Gold Company or the Marijuana for Medicinal Purposes programme. Yes, sustainable economic engagement away from the current political comedy to win Mr. Hichilema votes from ignorant voters. We doubt that


The noise surrounding the appointment of debt advisors I AM not surprised that there is debate over the procurement of advisory services for Zambia’s debt. The debate is driven by probably lack of depth with regards to knowledge on international money and capital markets. These things are relatively new in Zambia. In international finance, especially in areas that involve big money, both lenders and borrowers acquire the services of financial and other advisors to help structure financial packages.

Here are some examples.

IVE million dollars is a fair deal. Here’s why: The contract is about debt restructuring and not debt management. Debt restructuring and its benefits can be quantified and are will most likely far exceed the $5m being paid to the advisors, Lazard. The net benefit to the country is bound to be a huge positive. Debt restructuring can take several forms, which include: Debt rescheduling. Same creditors but over a negotiated longer term.

SYNDICATE LOANS.

A syndicate loan is a loan given to a borrower by two or more lenders under one loan agreement. Syndicate loans are huge meaning one lender cannot afford to provide it. So lenders team up to lend to a borrower under 1 loan agreement. In order to arrange that loan, the borrower advertises for the procurement of the services of a bank advisor. This advisor will be the one to guide in the whole financing structure. The advisor can now advise whether the borrower should go for corporate finance (borrowing with recourse), project finance (borrowing with no or limited recourse with project future cash flows acting as collateral). After choosing the bank advisor and deciding on type of funding needed, the syndicate proceeds. In order to organise a syndicate loan, the borrower also advertisers for the services of a bank arranger. The arranger is the bank that arranged other banks to lend to the borrower. The arranger role can be played by the bank advisor in a model called Integrated approach. Where the roles are separate it’s called specialisation model. Alongside the bank advisor and bank arranger, the following are the banks that take part in syndicate financing: • Account Banks, this is the bank through which all project cash flows pass. • Technical Bank, this is the bank that looks at the technical aspects of the loan agreement • Facility Bank, this is the bank that handles and coordinates the loan on behalf of all banks • Insurance Bank, this is the bank that handles

• • •

the insurance aspects of the loan agreement. It should be noted that such services are acquired by the borrower from banks also for the following reasons: Debt restructuring Debt management (especially commercial debt) Issuing Commercial debt such as Eurobonds, Bulldog bonds, Matilda bonds, kangaroo bonds, samurai bonds, yankee bonds among others.

The following are the things borrowers look at when appointing bank advisors: • • • •

Experience in the international capital and money markets, Track record of performing similar services Ability to mobilise other international banks Knowledge of market players and contacts among others.

Bank advisors should also be ready to perform the roles of a lender to instill confidence in other banks that plan to join the structuring of finance. So from this, you can see that what the Zambian government was looking for is not human beings or individual economists but experienced international banks. The price of these advisory services can be costly because of the work and amounts of money involved. To understand the magnitude of the subject, citizens should read wide on the funding of the euro tunnel. LUBINDA HAABAZOKA.

5 MILLION FIVE million dollars is a fair deal. Here’s why: The contract is about debt restructuring and not debt management. Debt restructuring and its benefits can be quantified and are will most likely far exceed the $5m being paid to the advisors, Lazard.

Debt refinancing. New bond issuance at better interest rates to new creditors, proceeds to pay off the old bonds. Just on the three Eurobonds ($750m, $1bn, $1.25bn) at coupon rates 5.375 percent, 8.5 percent 8 .97 percent we pay annual interest of $237m. Of our total external debt of $11bn annual interest is estimated at about $1bn. Refinancing even $1bn of, say, Eurobond debt at a 1 percent better interest rate yields annual savings of $10m. However, a caution that with the deterioration in the sovereign credit rating of Zambia it

may not be easy to find takers at lower interest rates. That’s why the IMF programme remains very key to raising credit worthiness and perceptions for

attracting capital into Zambia, including refinancing debt.

debts at their existing trading values that are lower. As you will note in the article the second Eurobond is trading below 50 cents per dollar from 94

cents two years ago. Debt reduction. Where the creditors agree to a lower principal repayment. This is, however, not feasible for commercial debt such as Eurobonds. May work for public debt. There is a presumption of

value for money in a restructuring deal. I have seen comments online of people questioning why the contract could not be given to local Zambians adding that we have so many PHDs etc. The answer is that what is involved is strictly business and requires operatives in the global financial markets. It is not so much about understanding the local context or fiscal expenditure. Local experts of course know this better. Whether they have PHDs or not is irrelevant. This contract is about restructuring our external debt with external players. It should not be misunderstood as though local experts have been ignored. In investment banking, agency fees are normal. Even at debt contraction fees are paid to agents. Restructuring even has a stronger business case for paying fees.

Bankruptcy Tsunami Begins: Thousands of default notices are "Flying Out The Door"

before landlords demanded payment. The stakes are enormous, and landlords are suffering, too. An estimated $7.4 billion in rent for April hasn’t been paid, or about 45 percent of what’s owed, according to a recent analysis by CoStar Group, which also found that just a quarter of of expected rent payments have been received by landlords. "If the landlords don’t put a pause on their actions, you’re going to see more bankruptcies." The question then becomes who will bail out the landlords, and whether their creditors will be just as generous in accepting forbearance. That said, receipt of a default notice don't necessarily mean a retailers will get booted anytime soon, especially

“The default letters from landlords are flying out the door,” said Andy Graiser, co-president of commercial real estate company, A&G Real Estate Partners. “It’s creating a real fear in the marketplace.” since there is nobody waiting in line for the real estate: some landlords are merely sending letters to preserve their legal rights while discussing the

situation with tenants, and to assure their spot as a prepetition creditor once the default tsunami begins in earnest. One such company, Simon Property Group Inc., says it's in active negotiations with merchants at its malls, and has been taking their tenants' financial status into account. "The bottom line is, we do have a contract and we do expect to get paid," said CEO David Simon during the company's May 11 earnings call. "The landlords do have the legal contract," said Green Street Advisors senior analyst, Vince Tibone. "However, from a practicality standpoint, a lot of these retailers are on the brink of bankruptcy and simply cannot pay right now." However, as noted above, landlords are of course still

stuck with their own bills including bank debts which they're expected to pay. On Thursday we reported that US malls are in a crisis which started in January as vacancies hit a record high. And earlier Friday we reported that US retailers have accounted for the bulk of defaults over the past two months, as they were forced to temporarily close stores in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Retailers Neiman Marcus Group, J.Crew and J.C. Penney have already filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this month in the United States. But the real bankruptcy wave was just waiting for the unspoken covid-related grace period to end, and for the default notices to start flying.

The stakes are enormous, and landlords are suffering, too. An estimated $7.4 billion in rent for April hasn’t been paid, or about 45 percent of what’s owed, according to a recent analysis by CoStar Group, which also found that just a quarter of of expected rent payments have been received by landlords.

The letters began arriving in March and early April, “but the rate of such notices picked up materially in late April and early May,” Stage Stores said. Some landlords began locking the company out “and

threatened to evict the debtors and dispose of the in-store inventory.” The company also said that "responding to and managing these default notices and related litigation outside of Chapter 11 would have been a monumentally difficult task." "It’s not like there’s a lot of investors out there looking to buy retailers in a Chapter 11," said Grasier, adding "Landlords and retailers need to really come together and realise that this a shared pain." Some landlords get it, according to Tom Mullaney, managing director of restructuring at real estate services firm Jones Lang LaSalle. Retailers he represents are getting default letters that are understanding and sympathetic; other landlords strike a more combative tone. What’s more interesting is the action, or lack of it, by the landlords afterward, Mullaney said. “In a lot of cases, the letters that are being sent aren’t being followed up on,” he said - the landlords are simply preserving their legal rights. Maybe they just don't have the fund to retain lawyers? Others, meanwhile, are just taking the law into their own hands: some property owners have run out of patience and have locked out Mullaney’s clients. “The environment is getting pretty testy and emotional on both sides of the table,” he said. “The only thing worse than being a retailer right now is being a retail landlord.” – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

Argentina hires Lazard, HSBC and Bank of America to broker debt restructuring

SANTIAGO - Argentina’s government said yesterday it had hired Lazard as financial advisor and Bank of America and HSBC as debt placement agents for the debt restructuring process it hopes to close by the end of March. In a brief statement the Finance Ministry limited itself to disclosing the

names of the financial institutions that will be intermediaries for the restructuring of close to $100 billion in public debt. The operation is backed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the talks are expected to continue from today in Buenos Aires. – REUTERS.

WASHINGTON - Two weeks ago, when showing the uncanny correlation between defaults and the unemployment rates, we predicted that the number of Chapter 11 filings that is about to flood the US will be nothing short of biblical. All that was missing was a catalyst... and according to Bloomberg that catalyst arrived in the past week or so, as retail landlords have been sending out thousands of default notices to tenants, who in turn have experienced a collapse in foot traffic, sales and cash flow due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and are simply unable to pay their debt obligations. According to Bloomberg, restaurants, department stores, apparel merchants and specialty chains have been receiving notices from landlords - some of whom have gone as long as three months without receiving rent. "The default letters from landlords are flying out the door," said Andy Graiser, co-president of commercial real estate company, A&G Real Estate Partners. "It’s creating a real fear in the marketplace." Pressure from default notices and follow-up actions like locking up stores or terminating leases was cited in the bankruptcies of Modell’s Sporting Goods and Stage Stores Inc. Many chains stopped paying rent after the pandemic shuttered most U.S. stores, gambling that they could hold on to some cash

India's PM urges citizens to stay alert to virus as lockdown eases NEW DELHI - India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi warned the country yesterday to remain vigilant against the spread of coronavirus as the country prepares a phased re-opening of activities even as daily cases rise to record highs. India, with the world’s longest lockdown, is set to largely lift containment measures this month, except in high-risk zones. “The fight against the coronavirus is intense, we

cannot drop our guard,” Modi said in his national radio address, a day after his government extended the lockdown until June 30 in high-risk zones but permitted restaurants, malls and religious buildings to reopen elsewhere from June 8. “Wearing a mask, gloves and following social distancing rules is essential as everyone will soon start stepping out of their homes,” Modi said. The novel coronavirus has

infected more than 182, 000 people and claimed the lives of 5, 164 in India. The number of cases reached a daily record high in the last 48 hours, two months after the federal government enforced a rigid lockdown to stop the pandemic from spreading in a country with more than 1.3 billion people. “We really need to be more vigilant now,” he said. Critics blame Modi’s government for poor planning

ahead of its abrupt declaration of a lockdown in March, leaving millions of the country’s poor stranded. “We are all sorry for the loss that has occurred,” Modi said as he hailed the country’s “united” efforts towards fighting the virus. State governments were expected to identify containment zones and find staggered ways to reopen public transport and businesses. – REUTERS.

People more important than the economy, pope says about Covid crisis VATICAN CITY - Pope Francis said yesterday that people are more important than the economy, as countries decide how quickly to reopen their countries from coronavirus lockdowns. Francis made his comments, departing from a prepared script, at the first noon address from his window overlooking St. Peter’s Square in three months as Italy’s lockdown drew to an end. “Healing people, not saving (money) to help the economy (is important), healing people, who are more important than the economy,” Francis said. “We people are temples of the Holy Spirit, the economy is not,” he said. Francis did not mention any countries. Many

governments are deciding whether to reopen their economies to save jobs and living standards, or whether to maintain lockdowns until they are sure the virus is fully under control. The pope’s words were met with applause by hundreds of people in the square, many of whom wore masks and kept several meters from each other. The square was reopened to the public last Monday. Normally tens of thousands attend on a Sunday. The last time the pope delivered his message and blessing from the window was March 1, before Italy, where more than 33, 000 people have died from the virus, imposed a lockdown. The last restrictions will be lifted on Wednesday. – REUTERS.

ZCCM-IH MUST HELP LOCALS EXPLORE FOR GOLD Paying tax will not develop the country as it is only an indirect contribution they make to the process and depending on them and what the country gets is only less than what they get.

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

CCM-IH should provide support to the locals to explore gold mining through cooperatives and local companies, a Copperbelt based Human and Environmental Rights Activist Zebbies Mumba has advised.

Mr Mumba said it was important that the locals, who hosted gold deposits and therefore deserved to have a taste of its discovery and sustain their livelihood. He observed that in as much as foreign investors were important in any economy, there primary objective was to make profit and satisfy their economic goals. "Paying tax will not develop the country as it is only an indirect contribution they make to the process and depending on them and what the country gets is only less than what they get," he said.

ITWE residents have complained about the foul smell along the Shoprite corridor on Matuka Avenue in the central business district. But Nkana Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC) Public Rela-

therefore not time for ZCCM-IH to slumber on gold mining but that it should implement a model that would not throw away the local people who brought the presence of the precious mineral resource to the attention of the nation.

He also called on Government through the Ministry of Mines to enforce legislation of the sector fairly and allow a win-win situation between the investor and Zambians. "The Ministry should at all times pursue to actualize

what the PF Government is said to be, a pro-poor Government. This passion should be actualised," he said. He said ZCCM-IH needed to work with the communities through cooperatives and existing local companies. Mr Mumba said it was disappointing to note that 50 years after independence, the country had lost grip on copper mining resources through privatization of the mines.

Foul smell irks residents tions Officer, Agness Simwinga, said the smell of sewer along the Shoprite Corridor comes from a standalone building which was not in the NWSC mainline. The residents have since asked the Kitwe

City Council and NWSC to resolve the problem which was in the city centre. Customers in particular have complained about the offensive smell. Ms Simwinga explained that the individual building's

line connecting to the NWSC's mainline had collapsed and her organisation had since written to the council about the problem. "We have advised the customer on what is needed and I think they are going to resolve it

Mufulira gets sewing machines, face mask materials By MUYANI SHINJABALE

MUFULIRA Central Member of Parliament, Evans Chibanda, has donated sewing machines, hand sanitisers, face masks and clothing materials for learners, who will resume classes today. Dr Chibanda also empowered a female tailor with a contract to make face masks for all schools in the constituency. He said this when he met the District Education Boars

Secretary (DEBS) and all the Head Teachers from his constituency. Dr Chibanda indicated that an upfront payment had already been made to the tailor and that quality face masks would be made as quickly as possible. He emphasised the need to complement Government's efforts in preventing the Covid-19 pandemic in schools. Dr Chibanda reminded the teachers that Government attached great impor-

tance to quality education, hence the directive to reopen examination classes in schools. He stated that the reopening of schools for examination classes would adequately prepare the learners for the exams. "I wish to emphasize the need for all teachers to take the lead in insuring that all learners attain quality education despite living with the corona virus," he said. Dr Chibanda pledged to continue working with all

Residents want Ndeke Village MiniHospital completed

By ROGERS KALERO

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu's assurance that Government will complete all developmental projects has brought hope to the people of Ndeke Village in Kitwe where a mini-hospital has remained unfinished for nine years. The Ndeke-village mini hospital , which was started during the MMD regime, has remained uncompleted and only operates from 08.00 hours up to 17.00 hours. Ndeke Village resident, Kelvin Chipili said, from President Lungu's assurance, he was hopeful that the Ndeke village mini-hospital would be one of the developmental projects to be completed. While in Ikelenge, last week, President Lungu assured that all developmental projects would be completed. Mr Chipil said infrastructure developmental was cardinal in economic growth. "We may be facing a number of challenges as a country, but in

terms of infrastructure development, the PF has tried its best and we need to give credit where it is due. If this Covid-19 did not come, we would have done a lot. "However, we have hope in President Lungu when he says he wants to see all developmental projects completed. As residents of Kamfinsa constituency and Ndeke village in particular, we are hopeful that the Ndeke village mini-hospital will be one of the developmental projects to be completed,'' Mr Chipili said. Meanwhile, Mr Chipili has been donating masks to marketeers and explaining the need to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. He said he had decided to donate the masks to supplement Government efforts in fighting Covid-19 which had continued to ravage various parts of the World Mr Chipili said he had decided to distribute face masks because some people had hiked the price of face-masks.

Kansanshi takes primary education on air By JACKSON MAPAPAYI KANSANSHI Mining PLC has partnered with the Ministry of General Education to feature education programmes on Solwezi Radio for learners in primary schools. The programme dubbed, “School on Radio” would initially run from June 1 to the end of July, subject to review depending on the level of Covid-19, which led to closure of learning institutions. Kansanshi Mine Public Relations Manager, Godfrey Msiska, said the programme would reach approximately 150,000 primary school pupils in five districts of North western province. The districts would include Solwezi, Kalumbila, Mwinilunga, Kasempa, and Mushindamo. Mr Msiska said the mining firm decided to sponsor the programme in order to afford pupils an opportunity to continue learning through radio instead of remaining idle. “This initiative would ensure that primary school learners who were not covered by the Government initiated programme that provides TV based lessons only for secondary schools are also catered for,” he said. The programme will run at a total cost of K1.27 million and 67 percent of the budget would go towards the cost of airing 175 episodes on Solwezi Radio. And North-Western Province Minister, Nathaniel Mubukwanu, said Government was grateful for all the help from corporate world in the fight against Covid-19. The minister said this in a speech by the Assistant Secretary Ms Beatrice Muyambango at the launch of the programme. Mr Mubukwanu said the programme would reach out to thousands of pupils with high quality education. “These pupils would otherwise have been idle at home and exposing themselves more to Covid-19 had it not been for the introduction of this school radio program,” he said. He however mentioned that the success of the programme would depend to a large extent on community awareness and participation. Meanwhile, Solwezi FCC radio Executive Director Elisha Kyanamina assured that the station would go an extra mile to work with Government and other stakeholders to take education to the children in all languages authorised.

‘POLITICIANS SHOULDN’T FOCUS MUCH ON 2021 POLLS’ By ANDREW MUKOMA OLITICIANS should not focus on the 2021 general elections, but expend much of their efforts on development and fighting the fastspreading corona virus (Covid-19), former Defence Minister Richwell

P Mr Siamunene

Siamunene has advised. He said it was not time to compete but cooperate as one people stating that if politicians focused only on 2021, they might not have people to vote for them because of the disruptive Covid-19. “Let us learn to complement government

efforts and help those that are less privileged. We thank President Edgar Lungu for the creation of the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs which is inculcating values and morals in our people,” he said. Mr Siamunene added that Zambians regardless of gender should to begin to develop the spirit of love, unity and care. He was speaking when he donated food and other essentials to the Maramba Old People’s Home in Livingstone at the weekend. The former minister said that in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak, Zambians should develop the spirit of patriotism, humility and compassionate. Mr Siamunene noted that the country was grappling with the effects of corona virus pandemic which had affected nearly every economic sector of the country. “We have come here to familiarize ourselves with the challenges that you are facing. We are living in a difficult situation due

to Covid-19 especially for institutions such as this one which depends on help from Government and wellwishers,” Mr Siamunene said. He said that he was compelled to share with the old people the ‘little’ he had managed to collect from his business entities. “Zambians need to develop the spirit of love, the spirit of sharing and the spirit of caring. Let us share, let us remember our old people who fought for this country’s freedom,” he said. And Maramba Old People’s Home assistant officer in charge, David Masowe, said the facility had a challenge of water tank to pump water in the garden. Mr Masowe said since the water tank was damaged, the facility had been failing to manage the garden. Mr Siamunene then pledged to purchase a new 5, 000-litre tank for the facility. Meanwhile, the number of residents at the facility has reduced to 27 were men while seven are women.

Clearing agent convicted of defilement By ANDREW MUKOMA A 33-YEAR-OLD clearing agent of Katima Mulilo border in Sasheke has been convicted of defilement and committed to the Mongu High Court for sentencing by a magistrate’s court. Sesheke Resident Magistrate, Francis Phiri, committed Bright Manengu, who had pleaded not guilty to the offence. Manengu in February this year defiled an underage girl, who was under his care at Zambezi River Transport Compound commonly known as (ZRT) in Sesheke. Manengu was on March 20, 2020 arrested after he was found to have defiled the girl whom he lived with before he shifted from ZRT Compound to Katima Mulilo border. When he appeared for judgement before Mr Phiri, Manengu said he was guilty of the offence and was convicted accordingly. However, the magistrate explained that the court did not have power to impose a sentence and therefore, commit him to the High Court for sentencing.

MATHEMATICS TOPIC : TRIGONOMETRY I

SUBTOPIC 2: TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS IN QUADRANTS. The trigonometric functions discussed last week ( sine, cosine ant tangent) have different signs and values in each and every quadrant of a circle. A quadrant is a quarter of a circle. A circle is divided into four main quadrant. 1st quadrant, 2nd quadrant, 3rd quadrant and 4th quadrant. 1st quadrant: First quadrants range from 0° < đ?œƒđ?œƒ < 90° All the three trigonometric functions have positive values. Sine , cosine and tangent values have positive values. The solution is expressed as đ?‘şđ?‘ş = đ?œ˝đ?œ˝. Where đ?œƒđ?œƒ is an acute angle.( an angle in the first quadrant).

OGADISHU At least six people were killed yesterday when a minibus struck a roadside bomb near the Somali capital Mogadishu, police and witnesses said. The vehicle was carrying passengers, mostly from the same extended family, from the city to a funeral in a nearby town, when it hit the explosive at Hawa Abdi village,

Widespread unrest as curfews defied across US WASHINGTON - Curfews have been ordered in cities across the US to try to stem unrest sparked by the death of a black man in police custody. But they have been defied in many areas, with shops looted, cars burned and buildings attacked. Riot police have used tear gas and rubber bullets. President Donald Trump urged “healing” over the death of George Floyd but said he could not allow mobs to dominate.

6 KILLED AS SOMALI MINIBUS HITS ROADSIDE BOMB 19 kilometres northwest of Mogadishu. “So far we know the blast killed six people and injured others... The death toll may rise,” Farah Hassan, a police officer told Reuters. The road is used frequently by government and security vehicles. “I carried four dead people

including my father in law,” Nur Haji Ahmed told Reuters from Madina hospital in Mogadishu, where the injured were taken. He had rushed to the scene after a phone call from a relative. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack from any group. Somalia has been mired in

conflict since 1991, when clan warlords overthrew dictator Siad Barre and then turned on each other. Since 2008, the Islamist militant group al Shabaab has been fighting to overthrow Somalia’s central government and establish its own rule based on its own harsh interpretation of Islam’s sharia law. – REUTERS.

Saturday 25 April, 2020 A white ex-policeman is charged with murdering Floyd, 46, in Minneapolis. Derek Chauvin, 44, is due to appear in court today. In video footage, Chauvin can be seen kneeling on Floyd’s neck for several minutes last Monday. Floyd repeatedly says that he is unable to breathe. Three other officers present at the time have also since been sacked. The Floyd case has reignited US anger over police killings of black Americans. It follows the high-profile cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Eric Garner in New York and others that have driven the Black Lives Matter movement. But for many it also reflects years of frustration over socioeconomic inequality and segregation, not least in Minneapolis itself. – BBC.

Sudan summons Ethiopian envoy KHARTOUM - Sudan summoned the Ethiopian Chargé d’Affaires on Saturday over a border attack by suspected Ethiopian militias that killed and wounded several Sudanese army personnel and civilians, it said in a statement. Thursday’s attack targeted a camp in the eastern city of al-Qadarif, the official SUNA news agency said. A Sudanese military spokesman blamed militias “supported by Ethiopia” for the attack, according to SUNA. – REUTERS.

Egypt says 19 suspected militants killed in restive Sinai

CAIRO - Egypt’s military said on Saturday it killed 19 suspected militants in targeted ground and air operations as part of its battle to quell a long-running insurgency in north Sinai. In a video statement replete with a dramatic score released on its social media, the army said troops killed three “extremely dangerous” militants as well as 16 others in precision airstrikes on their “terrorist hideouts.” – AFP.

Trump to delay G7 summit WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump said on Saturday he will delay the G7 summit scheduled to take place this month and invite other countries - including Russia - to join the meeting. “I don’t feel that as a G7 it properly represents what’s going on in the world. It’s a very outdated group of countries,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. - FIN24.

Israel police kill unarmed Palestinian TEL AVIV - Israeli police in annexed east Jerusalem on Saturday shot dead a disabled Palestinian they mistakenly thought was armed with a pistol, prompting furious condemnation from the Palestinians. The incident happened in the alleys of the walled Old City near Lions’ Gate, an access point mainly used by Palestinians. Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas’ Fatah party denounced the killing as a “war crime.” – AFP.

HE 2020 InterCompany Relay (ICR) scheduled for this month has been postponed to September due to the coronavirus. ICR chairperson Elias Mpondela said in an interview yesterday that the decision to defer the annual event which is aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle was to safe-guard the

COVID-19 DERAILS INTER-COMPANY RELAY lives of people. Mpondela said ICR usually attracts thousands of people while the health guidelines against Covid-19 does not favour massive gatherings. “Well, it will not be held in June, because the situation isn’t conducive. But we are looking at hosting it between

August and September. But surely, the ICR will be held because we need something that will bring people together during this difficult phase. This year’s event may also be reshaped to suit the new normal, but it’s definitely going to be a big event,” he said. Mpondela also called on

associations to put up a strong team capable of bringing sport development at the National Sports Council of Zambia. Commenting on the up-coming elections of the seven board members, Mpondela said one of the reasons why sports was not developing was because of not having a strong NSCZ

board. “We need a strong team with knowledge of sports but also strong enough to stand the ground for the sport development. Sometimes there is so much that comes in which is not sport development, he said. Last week, Sports Minister Emmanuel Mulenga announced the reappointment

of Patrick Mutimushi as NSCZ board chairperson. The other four appointed are former Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) president Michael Chiti, Shaileni Desai, motorsport navigator Urshilla Gomes, Grace Kumwenda and Margaret Siachulu. June 13, has been set for the election of the seven and the vice-chairperson while nominations opened last Wednesday.

Lewandowski equals record as Bayern hit five ROBERT Lewandowski scored twice against Fortuna Dusseldorf to equal his most prolific season as Bayern Munich moved 10 points clear at the top. Bayern were 3-0 up by half-time, Benjamin Pavard and Lewandowski scoring after Mathias Jorgensen’s own goal opened the scoring. Poland forward Lewandowski’s 43rd goal in all competitions this campaign made it 4-0 in a crushing win. Teenager Alphonso Davies added the fifth with a superb individual effort. It will require an exceptional set of circumstances to deny Bayern an eighth successive Bundesliga title at the end of June. This was their fourth straight victory since the Bundesliga season restarted last month, and they have scored 13 goals and conceded just two since the resumption of the campaign.– BBC.

Barcelona set loan Chimba fee for Coutinho as Arsenal eye a move ARSENAL will be able to

loan Philippe Coutinho from Mulanshi Barcelona for a minimum fee of €10m, according to a report. Coutinho has spent this season on loan at Bayern Munich after struggling to settle in at Barcelona, but the German club have confirmed they will not be buying him outright. That decision has led Coutinho to set his sights towards the Premier League once more, where he previously enjoyed a successful spell with Liverpool. A number of Premier League clubs have been linked with the Brazilian, but ABC have suggested that Coutinho is at the top of Mikel Arteta’s wanted list with Le10 Sport (via The Mirror) claiming the Gunners boss wants a major signing to take the club to the next level. ” – SPORT24.

SHONGA IN HOT SOUP woman on May 24, 2020. The South African Sunday Sun newspaper wrote that Khumalo, 27, opened a case of assault against the striker at the Midrand Police Station on the material day and he was told to appear in court last

Tuesday. Shonga, who is an Inspector in the Zambia Police Service, failed to appear in court, forcing the magistrate to issue a warrant of arrest. “On Sunday 24-05-2020 at about 00h20 early in the

morning, I was at my complex (Sandridge Heights), walking toward my house when I noticed my boyfriend, Mr. Justin Shonga, was with a girl at the same complex. “I confronted him and asked him about this girl, we started arguing where he followed me to my house. In the house, Mr. Shonga began assaulting me, with his open hands, pushed me and I fell on the couch where he continued beating me. “By that time, I was crying for help. This went on until other people from our complex came to help me. Miss Sbongile Homu told Mr. Shonga to stop beating me or else she’ll call the police. Then, Mr. Shonga stopped beating me,” read the affidavit. Efforts to get a comment from the striker was unsuccessful as his phone was off while Orlando Pirates administrative officer Floyd Mbele remained mute. Shonga his pushing to make a move from Pirates where he has struggled with

form this season. Last week, his possible move to Young Africans broke down as the Ta n z a n i a n giants they could not afford his salary demand of US$15,000. He has so far featured in only eight out of 23 league matches and is yet to score.
