GOVERNMENT should reduce fuel prices following the continued decrease in crude costs on the international market, Private Sector Development Association chairperson Yusuf Dodia has said.

Mr Dodia said it was unfortunate that the price of fuel in Zambia was still high despite

the drop on international markets.

He said the price of fuel was between K16 and K17 per litre when a barrel was pegged at US$90 and that it was unfortunate that prices of fuel have remained high even when the price of a barrel had reduced to between US$20 and US$30.

LAZ chief tests positive to Covid-19

By NATION REPORTER

LAW Association of Zambia (LAZ) president, Abyudi Shonga has tested positive to Covid-19 but not exhibiting symptoms of the pandemic.

Mr Shonga has since urged everyone to scale up personal response to the virus and take active steps to guard against infection.

In a circular to the legal

“My fellow lawyers, following a Covid-19 test I took a few days ago, I wish to notify you that my results came back positive for Covid-19.

Kaizer, Rashid deny assault charge

By GRACE CHAILELESOETSA

FORMER State House aide Kaizer Zulu and his acquaintance Rafique Rashid have denied assaulting and kidnapping three Lusaka businessmen and a driver for allegedly spying on them.

This is in a matter where Bernard Nshindo, Sengelwayo Jere, Saul Masikoti who are qualified surveyors and businessmen, and Mason Mweemba, a driver, have sued Zulu and his acquaintances Mpange Kachingwe, Rashid, and Bella Mwanza a director at Chita lodge Limited.

They are seeking among other claims damages for assault, false imprisonment and kidnapping, on the pretext that they were photographing his speed boat at Chita Lodge, in Kaf-

ue. The four, who have also cited Chita Lodge Limited in the matter, are claiming that Zulu, who was political adviser to the President, accused them of wanting to assassinate him when they allegedly photographed his speed boat.

They said he manhandled them whilst firing gun shots in the air and pointed a pistol to their heads and threatened to kill them.

But Zulu and Rashid in their defence argued that the plaintiffs were hiding while taking pictures of them who were having a private and confidential meeting within the vicinity of the secluded part of the lodge.

The duo claimed that they alerted a police officer who was nearby to check on why the three businessmen and a driver were hiding, recording and taking

Mr Shonga said promoting conversation about the pandemic would compel those who employ fellow lawyers to enhance measures to protect them as they go about the business of the practice of law.

He also said talking about it would persuade more people to take masking, social distancing and sanitising more seriously than they were taking it now.

pictures of them without authority.

“In fact the plaintiffs admitted taking unauthorised photographs and agreed to delete them but the police officer discovered that they were armed with pistols and posing a danger to the lives of defendants,” read part of the defence.

Zulu and Rashid claimed that the plaintiffs attempted to drive off when accosted by the police officer and instead fired gunshots in the air as they tried to escape from the police officer.

The two claimed that the plaintiffs were apprehended by police officers and in fact one of the suspects escaped when they reached Kafue police station. Zulu and his acquaintance stated that the four were later moved to Lusaka Central Police where they were detained.

Zulu and Rashid argued that the plaintiffs do not deserve any of the reliefs sought at least not from them.

Mr Dodia said the cost of business was high because of the high fuel prices.

"Government has turned the petroleum industry into a money making venture through expensive fuel, even though the prices of the commodity on the international markets have reduced," Mr Dodia said.

Mr Dodia said Government has made money through the Tazama, Indeni value chain and should now reduce the prices to boost the economy.

Mr Dodia said Govern-

ment should do the right thing by ensuring that fuel is supplied at cost effective prices for the development of the economy.

"Tariffs are controlled by regulators to avoid the situation, where the economy can come to a standstill and if government itself is going to be in the forefront of increasing these prices then the role of regulators is no longer necessary," Mr Dodia said.

He said government should ensure that prices of fuel support the growth of the economy especially in the Covid-19 era.

Illegal oxygen usage worries health minister

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

THE Ministry of Health has warned the public against self-prescribing oxygen as that can only be done by medical staff The ministry has observed that some people have been prescribing oxygen for their relatives who have difficulties in breathing.

And the ministry has expressed worry that Ndola and Solwezi have in the past few days recorded double numbers of the cases of the Covid-19.

Giving a daily update of the Covid-19 pandemic situation in the country, Health Minister Dr Chitalu Chilufya said there has been a rise in

the cases due to lack of adherence by the public.

"Locally, the outbreak has emerged into a major outbreak and cause of death across the country.

It is that time we feared and we have not yet reached the peak!”

On average, 20 percent of the samples are positive.

Covid-19 can mimic any condition," Dr Chilufya has said.

The country has recorded 226 new cases out of 782 tests done in the last 24 hours. This brings the cumulative number of coronavirus cases to 8, 501.

Five BIDs were recorded in Ndola during the mortuary screening.

NATION CHURCH BODIES SHUN ‘INDABA’

Tel: 0211 - 243527, P.O. Box 34553 Plot No. 5152 B Mukwa Road, Heavy Industrial Area Lusaka.

E-mail: editor@dailynation.news www.zambiadailynation.news

CHURCH BETRAYAL

GOVERNMENT cannot be blameless for the shamble of a national religious platform that should have been held today to discuss several important issues of the day.

The government should be sensitive to the “ecumenism” challenges faced by principal churches and the need to give them due diffidence in ensuring prior and extensive consultation before such important platforms are formulated.

It is our sincere hope that this platform can still be held after appropriate consultations have been made.

However, it is heartbreaking and demoralising that the conscience of the nation represented by our religious leaders should abandon and boycott a high level national dialogue at a time when the nation urgently needs guidance in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic ravaging the country.

It is distressing that at this unprecedented time of extreme danger when lives are being lost every day and the prognosis is not any better for the future, the church mother bodies abandon their flock in preference of maintaining their traditional turfs.

We understand that both the Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) and the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) have shunned the planed National Church and Religious, State Dialogue Platform that should have taken place today.

ZCCB Secretary-General, Cleophas Lungu said they were not obliged to attend the dialogue platform, and yet being the largest denomination in Zambia, the Catholic membership has suffered among the highest infection and death rate from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Internal blogs within church groups report an upsurge of deaths.

This is a very sad and disheartening development, which the church must work with Government to address in earnest.

At least CCZ Secretary-General Emmanuel Chikoya said they would have participated if the dialogue was scheduled for another day.

The church should be about Christians and existential realities facing them and not a tool for institutional egotism. People are dying, hundreds are being infected and thousands others have lost jobs and capacity to earn a living on account of the global Covid-19 pandemic which is likely to get worse before it gets any better.

The effects of the pandemic will encompass the social, economic and even political fortunes of this country for many years to come.

Pope Francis has repeatedly said that the church leadership, just as the disciples, should remain ever connected to the branches attached to the vine, feeling for and empathising with the flock.

Being a Christian, he said, meant “the Christian life is following the path of the beatitudes, following the works of mercy as the Lord teaches in the Gospel; and one must do that.”

He has emphasised that ecumenism was a union of blood, based on the common experience of Christianity.

It is particularly sad that in the absence of proper church guidance vultures, crooks and political opportunists seeking power in 2021 have taken centre stage. They have absolutely no concern for the pain and suffering the nation is facing.

As Nigerian author Wole Soyinka mused: “Only in Nigeria will thieves be regrouping to loot again and the youth whose future will be stolen will be celebrating it.”

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

THE Council of Churches in Zambia (CCZ) and the Zambia Conference for Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) have shunned the planned National Church and Religious, State Dialogue Platform that is scheduled to take place today.

The dialogue, which is organised by the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs is expected to among other issues focus on the role of the church and religious bodies before and during the 2021 elections, including tabling the role of the

church amidst the Covid-19 pandemic.

The two church mother bodies however confirmed to the Daily Nation yesterday that they were not available to attend the dialogue platform.

ZCCB secretary-general, Cleophas Lungu said that the conference was not obliged to attend the dialogue platform.

“We will not be part of the dialogue platform, and we are not obliged to,” he said. And CCZ secretary-general, Emmanuel Chikoya said that the council would have taken part if the dialogue was scheduled for another day. “The programme was

scheduled to take place today (yesterday) but has been moved to tomorrow (today) which has caused a bit of a challenge for us,” he said.

Fr Chikoya however maintained that the council would stick to its role on issues of development and governance.

However, considering Covid-19, the Ministry of National Guidance and Religious Affairs only invited a limited number of participants to the Dialogue Platform.

The invitation was extended to all church mother bodies, religious bodies and the churches.

All applicants to K30m youth empowerment to get money

By SILUMESI MALUMO PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has directed that all artists who will apply for the K30 million youth empowerment scheme must access the funds.

And Minister of Tourism and Arts Ronald Chitotela said Government was eager to transform the arts industry because it was critical to the country’s economic growth.

President Lungu in a speech read for him by the Vice President Inonge Wina yesterday during the launch of Presidential Choral Arts Festival and the K30 million youth empowerment scheme targeting artists, said it was prudent that even artists in remote parts of the country benefited from the stimulus package which had been provided by the Government.

The Head of State said “The scheme will enable the youths to transform the communities through the talent that God gave you.

President Lungu urged the National Arts Council to take a consultative approach so that the scheme benefited many artists.

He said all the artists who would apply must be given an opportunity to access the funds.

“I am also reliably informed that the guidelines of the scheme were developed in consultation with art leaders and the Citizen Economic Empowerment Commission. This was to ensure that the scheme respond to the needs of artists.

Police get tough on Covid regulations enforcement

By PETER SICHALI POLICE will consider using Edwin Imboela Stadium for detaining people who will be arrested for disregarding Covid-19 guidelines, Police spokesperson Esther Katongo has said.

Ms Katongo said police will also liaise with Lusaka City Council to establish a fast track court to avoid congesting detention facilities.

Ms Katongo said those found in public without a face mask will be arrested and made to pay a fine of K750 or serve a prison sentence of six months.

She said Police have embarked on sensitisation of citizens on the Covid-19 guidelines and that those who fail to comply will be arrested.

“We will give them information first of all and if they do not want to follow we will pick them,” she said. Ms Katongo said failure to wear a mask while in a public place is actually a criminal offence and those found wanting will be arrested under Section 6(1)(b) as read with section 11 of the regulations.

“If found guilty you are liable to a fine of K750 or imprisonment for six months or both,”Ms Katongo said.

Ms Katongo said police will find several other ways of dealing with the perpetrators.

and access the funds, and when you are successful be sure to be accountable for the funds and use them for the intended purpose,” he said.

You have been asking for such an intervention from your Government, Mr Lungu said, and it is the time do the work that is supposed to be done.

President Lungu also said that about 10,000 arts would benefit from the scheme but Government intended to increase the number to 15,000.

And Minister of Tourism and Arts Mr Chitotela said the artists had lost income opportunities during the Covid 19 period and that was the reason Government had stepped in to respond to their needs.

He said Government wanted to ensure that the welfare of the artists around the country was improved.

Mr Chitotela however said that not all artists would access the money at same time but they must rest be assured that the fund was a revolving one and many artists would therefore benefit.

Meanwhile, National Arts Council chairperson Patrick Samwimbila said the funds would be disbursed next month.

He said user friendly channels had been developed to allow artists across the country apply for the funds which Government had provided.

The prosecutor informed the court that Kambwili had sent a representative who wanted to address the court.

Meanwhile, Kambwili’s representative, Brian Chimba, 47, of Libala South told the court that Kambwi was absent because he has been in hospital for the past three days.

In this matter, Kambwili is facing one charge of defamation of the President following a complaint filed in the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court

K249, 600, 000 CDF funds released

By NOEL IYOMBWA GOVERNMENT has released constituency development budgetary allocation for 2020 amounting to K249, 600, 000.

Local Government Minister Dr Charles Banda said the amount is meant for distribution to all the 156 constituencies of which each will receive K1.6 million.

“I wish to inform the nation that in 2018, K209, 337, 616.00 was released from the treasury and the ministry in turn disbursed the funds to 132 constituencies.

“The 24 constituencies not funded from the CDF were constituencies that had members of Parliament who were Cabinet ministers. In 2019, given the country’s financial constraints, the ministry of Finance released a total of K 29,962,384.00,” he said.

The minister said the government has shown its commitment by releasing the whole amount as budgeted for this year to ensure that no constituency is left behind in terms of development.

He said members of parliament now have an onerous task to ensure that the implementation of the earmarked projects commence as soon as the funds are in the accounts.

Dr Banda directed all the councils that have not yet submitted the 2020 CDF projects for approval to do so

Dr Banda immediately.

He noted that it is the cry of the large citizenry that development should be hastened in all areas without leaving anyone behind.

And Dr Banda has advised that there is no reason to retain the funds in the constituency bank accounts when there are many development challenges that need to be addressed.

He reiterated government’s commitment to ensure that CDF allocated is used for the intended purpose in a transparent and accountable manner in accordance with the CDF Act number 11 of 2018 which prescribes the funding, management and accountability of the fund.

Ulrich Adam, director general of spiritsEUROPE, which represents the interests of 31 associations of European spirits producers as well as 10 leading multinational companies, says he understands that there are a number of economic and other conse-

As umbrella organisation for spirits producers in Europe, spiritsEUROPE has flagged its concerns with the European Union regarding the negative impact of the SA ban on alcohol sales.

LONDON - Heathrow Airport's boss has warned quarantine restrictions are "strangling the UK economy", and renewed calls for Covid-19 testing at airports.

Thousands of jobs are being lost because Britain is being cut off from key markets, said chief executive John Holland-Kaye.

The warning came as Heathrow reported passenger traffic in July plunged 88 percent. The government has said previously that coronavirus testing at airports is not a "silver bullet."

Heathrow said that more than half of its 860, 000 passengers in July had travelled to quarantine-free European destinations.

However, it said that the "vast majority" of its route network remains grounded due to quarantine rules.

The government recently re-imposed quarantine restrictions on arrivals from Spain, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Bahamas, and Andorra. And there have been reports there could be restrictions imposed on travel to France.

Covid-19 travel restrictions devastate Africa's tourism

In a statement on Tuesday, Heathrow said the 14day quarantine restrictions on many passengers arriving in the UK were "preventing the UK from travelling to and trading with" some countries.

Holland-Kaye said: "Tens of thousands of jobs are being lost because Britain remains cut off from critical markets such as the US, Canada and Singapore.

"The government can save jobs by introducing testing to cut quarantine from higher risk countries, while keeping the public safe from a second wave of Covid."

The travel industry has been pushing for quarantine-free travel to areas in countries that haven't been affected by increases in coronavirus cases, and for ZESCO Limited airport testing.

In 2019, the number of visitors to Mauritius was about 1.4 million - that was more than its population of 1.3 million people. The picture changed when the Indian Ocean island nation imposed a lockdown from March 20 and arrivals for April, May and June were almost zero.

The country recorded its last Covid-19 death on April 27, but that won’t be enough to get tourists back. Its national carrier, key to transferring the guests, was placed under voluntary administration and travel restrictions remain in Mauritius’s biggest source-markets including France and South Africa.

In South Africa, the impact of restrictions on the movement of people and business, also showed up in domestic-tourism numbers. Income from accommodation fell 99 percent during the first full month of the lockdown, and has yet to recover. The crash in food-and-beverage sales eased slightly in May as restaurants opened for delivery, but a renewed ban on the sale of alcohol could further weigh on the industry. – FIN24.

I URGE Government to formulate a statutory instrument (SI) on corporate social responsibility to help councils countrywide to counter irresponsible business houses and companies in their jurisdiction.

Currently, councils can only lobby or rather engage companies to more or less like beg them to address a few challenges the districts grapple with due to these companies' action.

It is for this reason the government should pen it down on paper that any company neglecting to mend, repair or otherwise compensate for any infrastructure it has put to tear and wear with legal connotations.

The tarmac by Chigayo on the road going to Lulamba township in Chingola is half gone due to tear and wear caused by heavy laden trucks that pack at Chigayo, leaving other motorists with only one lane to share, which is

very dangerous.

Yet these companies are seeing the tear and wear they have caused to the road there but they carry on as if its business as usual when we are almost two months before the rain season.

If it will be left unattended to, this spot will be a deadly spot for accidents because even the adjacent road going into loop area become unpassable right from the tarmac during the rain season.

This adjacent road getting in loop area however can easily be done through the office of the ward councillor who definitely sees the bad state of the point in question.

So, can Government make it mandatory for such situations to be addressed through an SI that gives powers to councils to summon such companies to mend or/and repair the damage caused by their action without any hustle but with full legal backing.

WISDOM MUYUNDA, Chingola.

PF should treat land issues with sensitivity, it will haunt them after 2021 Dear Editor,

Heroes Stadium in a bad state Dear Editor,

F

OR some time now, Government has been fighting the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) using some ministries but we are shocked that sports facilities like the Heroes Stadium have become a den of snakes and rodents.

We checked on the Heroes Stadium and the drainage around this sports facility is blocked, road in a bad state and grass which is not slashed making it easy for one to spot a snake or mice that have now found a new home.

This is a facility that hosts many important events that range from football matches, church gatherings, musical; concerts, weddings and other state functions.

Leaving it in its current state will disadvantage the government revenue the stadium can generate.

As youths in Matero, we want to challenge the Youth and Sports Minister Emmanuel Mulenga who has for a long time now been

fighting the football association and his counterpart at Works and Supply madam Chalikosa to come and see what this national asset has turned into.

A number of sports facilities in Lusaka have been leased out to private investors, a situation that continues to disadvantage the young in society as it is evi-

dent that lack of activities in youths leads to crime perpetration.

CHUNGU KACHENGA, Matero Parliamentary Aspirant.

I WRITE to urge the Patriotic Front to be very sober and sensitive with the land issues going on currently in the nation if it wants to have an easy campaign next year.

It is so disheartening to see that high ranking political figures in PF have teamed up against the people that advanced their ascendance to political office. The issue of Forest 27 is settled and dusted because the culprits are political heavyweights in PF while they have gone ahead to make sure that ordinary citizens don't get land from their districts without facing the law.

These are the ordinary cadres they use for campaigns without handsome remuneration, which has left them with no option but illegally getting land that is unoccupied to benefit themselves.

The gap between the riches of our PF politicians and their bosses (their cadres) is ridiculously big, hence the scramble for own source of money (the land).

If the leaders in PF have any iota in their blood, they should handle the land issues going on with caution so that they don't injure their political stay in

office any further.

Things on the ground currently are not fertile for PF and one wonders what gives these leaders the confidence that they will win the 2021 elections.

Truth told, yes you have done well in infrastructure development and roads network, but should not blind your thinking that things are okay. People hardly have three meals and those are the ones that vote.

FOREST 27 The issue of Forest 27 is settled and dusted because the culprits are political heavyweights in PF while they have gone ahead to make sure that ordinary citizens don’t get land from their districts without facing the law.

Worse still is where you the servants are minting big without shame while the people are complaining daily. What is annoying most is where you are busy sharing everything in the name of authority in broad day light while everyone is watching, shame!

You have made sure that the national cake is not shared equally but luckily, everyone is watching.

Kalulushi Covid-19 boosted

By ROGERS KALERO THE rising cases of Covid-19 has forced Kalulushi Municipal Council (KMC) to renew the contract of 35 temporary employees who were engaged specifically to handle matters related to the pandemic.

Workers were engaged in disinfection of public places, sensitisation and other duties.

Council Assistant Public Relations Manager, Lidah Kamanga, said the 35 temporary employees were engaged in May and contract was expected to end in July, but following the rising cases of Covid 19, the local authority decided to extend their contracts for the next two months In an interview in Kitwe yesterday, Ms Kamanga said the employees were engaged following the outbreak of Covid 19 to boost the Public Health Department.

"In an effort to intensify the fight against Covid 19, the local authority has put in place a number of measures which includes

boosting the Public Health Department through the engaging of 35 temporal employees.

“These are engaged specifically to handle matters related to the deadly pandemic. We have decided to renew their contract for two months in order to renew the vigour of fighting the Covid 19,'' she said.

Ms Kamanga said the local authority had intensified its operation in various areas to ensure that bar and restaurant owners adhere to the stipulated health guidelines.

She expressed concern that some people were buying beer from bottle stores and drinking from crowded car parks without observing social distancing.

She added that the behaviour of people drinking beer from car parks and open spaces was defeating the purpose of fighting the Covid-19.

"We have a situation where people buy beer from bottle stores and then they go and drink it from play parks and open spaces without observing social distance and are not even wearing masks. For them what matters is beer and not get,'' she said.

Ms Kamanga urged the residents of Kalulushi not to brush off the existence of Covid-19 , but continue to take preventive measures seriously like wearing of masks, social distance and others

TRACK DOWN ILLEGAL LAND DEALERS – KITWE DC

By ROGERS KALERO

M

ASTERMINDS of the illegal sale of land in Mindolo North and other parts of Kitwe must be pursued and brought to book because they have caused misery to many families whose structures were demolished, Kitwe District Commissioner Chileshe Bweupe has said.

Mr Bweupe said the dem-

olition of illegal structures in Mindolo North had left more than 40 families in serious problems and so it was imperative that the ring leaders of the illegal sale of land were punished severely.

In an interview in Kitwe yesterday, he said the demolition should also send a warning to other squatters like those in the Nkana Polo Club not to cling on to the pieces of land which were not legally theirs.

He said crooks who were involved in the illegal sale of land were always causing problems to people whom they were selling land.

"Yes, they should brought to book and punished accordingly because they have caused the sufferings of those people whose structures were demolished because they sold them land which was not theirs," Mr Bweupe said Mr Bweupe said it was sad

11

that criminals were pretending to be helping the people acquire land when in actual fact they were only after money and could not stand by them when their structures are demolished.

Mr Bweupe said illegal sale of land was exerting pressure on Government which was prompted to come to the aid of the families whose houses are demolished.

“The problem is that people don't listen when you tell them not to buy land from unscrupulous people who claim to have pieces of land with no documents, " he said Investigations by the Daily Nation revealed that some ring leaders in the illegal sale of land had been identified and would soon be brought to book soon.

Traders welcome deployment of police to fight Covid-19

By MUYANI SHINJABALE TRADERS have welcomed the directive by the Head of State to deploy police officers in trading places and bus stations to enforce health guidelines.

Mr Frederick Tembo, the President of the Traders, Vendors and Marketeers Association of Zambia, said President Edgar Lungu’s directive to deploy police officers in public places was a welcome move.

Speaking to the Daily Nation, Mr Tembo said the di-

rective was timely as people in trading areas and bus stations had become reluctant in adhering to the Covid-19 preventive guidelines.

He said that the association would not allow any of its members to abrogate the laws and would embark on sensitisation programmes.

And Copperbelt Minister Japhen Mwakalombe said the directive by the Head of State was timely, as Copperbelt and Lusaka provinces were epicentres. Mr Mwakalombe said it was not the intention of Gov-

ernment to inconvenience the people, more less the people operating in public places.

President Lungu directed Home Affairs Minister, Stephen Kampyongo, to deploy police officers to areas where Covid-19 public health guidelines were being flouted.

The President also directed the Ministry of Local Government to ensure strict adherence to prescribed public health guidelines on Covid-19 in markets, bus stops and other trading places.

GROWING TRIBALISM WORRIES LIVINGSTONE DC

By ANDREW MUKOMA

Mr Mugoba

Pemba farmers on high alert for FMD

By ANDREW MUKOMA

FARMERS with cattle in Pemba have been advised to be on high alert and avoid mixing their animals with those from other districts.

District Commissioner Reginald Mugoba has said doing so will help in the prevention of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) which has already been reported in other districts of Southern Province.

Mr Mugoba told the Daily Nation that farmers should also start dipping their animals regularly.

He said that failure to do so will put the animal population in the district at high risk.

Mr Mugoba said that farmers in the district rely on cattle for farming and therefore, if FMD wipes the cattle in the district, then it will be a disaster.

He has also advised farmers not to sell their animals for whatever reason.

He said that the farming season is around the corner and so, farmers should start preparing as such.

LIVINGSTONE District Commissioner Pascalina Musokotwane has bemoaned the alleged increasing tribalism in Southern Province, a vice she says has created hostility towards Governmental developmental projects, aimed at benefiting the people in the area.

Ms Musokotwane says the vice, which she sdescribed as widespread among political players, can destabilise the peace and unity the country has enjoyed for many years now if left unchecked.

Speaking when a non-governmental organisation, Zambians for Unity, Peace and Development (ZUPED) paid a courtesy call at her office in Livingstone, Ms Musokotwane reiterated that politics should not be used to divide its people but instead as a vehicle to promote unity as one exercises their democratic rights.

“You have come at the right time, when we need to sensitise people on denouncing tribalism in Southern province, where most politicians were promoting.”

“I’m not going to beat about the bush because tribalism is actually rife here, contrary to what the Patriotic Front (PF) Government has been promoting," Ms. Musokotwane said.

She added, “It’s always a pleasure to receive your organisation which comes in peace, as you know, we are one and God created us in his image, hence, we need to love one another regardless of political affiliations especially as we head towards the 2021 general election.”

Ms Musokotwane Jere, disclosed that his organisation has observed the need to sensitize communities on how to best denounce tribalism, which he says was denting the image of the people of Southern province.

“We want to help people look at things objectively be showcasing developmental projects that Government has done in the region and beyond.

“We have engaged radio stations to disseminate information on denouncing tribalism and at the same time, we will need your input to tell people about what your

government is doing for the promotion of unity,” added Mr. Jere.

Mr. Jere, who was accompanied by ZUPED Trustee, John Banda, added that it was disheartening that some churches, political parties, and individuals were bent on speaking negatively about the current regime, despite witnessing some positives in infrastructure development, women empowerment among others things.

He adds that it is for this reason that ZUPED was founded to help highlight some of the projects and achievements that have been undertaken by the Patriotic Front Government while giving checks and balances where necessary.

Meanwhile, Pastor Banda has called on Zambians to safeguard the peace that the country is enjoying, saying development cannot thrive where there is division.

“When you look at most Western countries, they develop faster because they speak the same language, here, it becomes hard because we divide ourselves by inclining to our tribes, as a result, we jeopardize development because we are not united,” Pastor Banda said.

“As ZUPED, we have a work plan to denounce ethnicity and promote mindset change without looking at development and not tribe by going to communitybased organizations, Chiefs and churches, including your office," Pastor Banda said.

He said that ethnicity jeopardises nations whose vision is to develop, hence, ZUPED will try by all means to preaching unity, peace, and development by engaging traditional leaders and ordinary members of the community.

Kabompo traditional leaders appeal for development TRADITIONAL leaders in Kabompo e have appealed to government to improve service delivery in the area.

Minunga village headwoman Sukongolo appealed to the government to construct a health post in Dongwe and Minunga area of Chifuwa south.

She said the government should help the residents in the area by constructing at least one health post in each village as the nearest clinic is over 30 kilometers away.

“I am appealing to government to help my people have access to get good health services by constructing another health post in Minunga and Dongwe. We have one rural health post but the distance is too much for most of us,” she said.

The headwoman said this yesterday in Minunga area during an integrated development planning (IDP) stakeholder consultative meeting for Kamisombo ward.

Speaking at the same event, headman Muluchi requested for the sinking of more boreholes in the area as most people drink unsafe water from shallow wells and Kabompo River.

“I want to appeal that government should sink more boreholes as most of them are far apart in the ward forcing people to drink or use water

Meanwhile, headman Nyamusenga called for degazetting of part the existing forest reserves so that people can legally be allowed to settle and cultivate in the named area.

He said that people have already started encroaching into the Chifuwe south forest reserves thus government should consider extending the degazzetted area to reduce illegal settlement.

“The forest reserves in Chifuwe south has already

started being encroached in, so why can’t the government just extend the reserves so that our people can use the land to cultivate in it legally,” headman Nyamusenga said.

He also appealed to government to send more teachers and build more school infrastructure in the ward to help improve the quality of education in the area.

“We need more teachers to be deployed here and more schools to be built in Minunga, Dongwe and Chifuwe south itself,” he said. ZANIS

…as Ramaphosa's envoys snub opposition after meeting President Mnangagwa Mbete to Zimbabwe.

Also with them was former premier and minister Ngoako Ramatlhodi, a special advisor to Ramaphosa in the ANC.

The Presidency's statement, when Mufamadi and Mbete were appointed, read: "The Special Envoys are expected to engage the Government of

Zimbabwe and relevant stakeholders to identify possible ways in which South Africa can assist Zimbabwe."

However, after having met

with Mnangagwa, they returned without honouring meetings with the main opposition party MDC's two factions, the MDC-T and the MDC Alliance.

It is expected that the envoys returned to brief Ramaphosa, and will at a later time return to Zimbabwe.

The MDC-T, led by Thokozani Khupe, confirmed that there was meant to have been a scheduled meeting with the envoy on Monday.

INSIDE SPORTS

LUSAMBO DELIVERES From Back Page

the Super Division. Forest Rangers confirmed the development on its official facebook page.

Lusambo had promised Rangers K100, 000 if they claimed the Super Division title and qualified for the CAF Champions League.

Rangers finished second with 50 points, on par with eventual champions Nkana Football Club who claimed

their 13th title with a superior goal difference.

Meanwhile, Mpulungu Member of Parliament Freedom Sikazwe has donated K4, 000 to youth sports clubs in Chinakila Village in Mpulungu.

Sikazwe who is also Presidential Affairs Minister expressed happiness that youths especially in the rural parts of the district have decided to engage in sports as a form of recreation.

FAZ still committed to FIFA meeting From Back Page Shenko noted that there were a number of other outstanding issues that needed to be sorted out such as the expiry of office of the FAZ executive which he said ended in March.

“The meeting which was supposed to be called in ten days’ time has not been called

up to now. Football is for everyone but in this case people have been blocked for no apparent reason and the government should not look at it like it’s a small thing. We need everybody on the ballot box and that can only happen if Government speeds up the meeting with FIFA,” Shenko said.

But FAZ vice president Rix Mweemba said the executive had been in constant commu-

‘No one’s fault’ From Back Page Meanwhile, Chakatazya has hailed the association for calling a consultative meeting which will address the challenges faced during the 2019/2020 soccer season as the new season is set to commence in October.

He said before the new season is allowed to kick off, there is need for FAZ and the Zambia Premier League management to invest in Covid-19 testing machines to prevent the delay to release Covid-19

results after clubs have been tested.

Chakatazya said ways of handling positive cases have to be found to prevent teams weakened because some players are found to be positive.

“If we have to play the league in the condition of the Covid-19 the most important thing will be to first try and find centres which will be responsible for handling clubs only and if it is possible, investment in the testing machines in three provinces would help.

“It gives me great pleasure to see young people finding activities that are meant to keep them busy apart from drinking beer and smoking,“ said Sikazwe.

He said that he is ready to support any activities meant to restrain youths from engaging in illicit activities such as beer drinking.

Sikazwe has also urged ladies to start their own competition and promised to support them.

nication with FIFA but cannot be disclosing everything they talk about with the soccer governing body in the media.

“We are still in communication with FIFA and the meeting will go on but we cannot be disclosing in the media each and every sentence we talk about with FIFA. The meeting will still go ahead once this Covid-19 thing is relaxed and we are still committed,” Mweemba said.

Damiano Mutale and Patson Lusaka have called on FAZ and Government to immediately announce the meeting between FAZ and stakeholders meeting to be graced by FIFA. “Because if you mix results for the general public and clubs then results will be coming late again so if we have centres on the Copperbelt dedicated to testing sportsmen only then it would help in the management of the league,” Chakatazya said.

Last week, FAZ announced the cancelation of the Super Division after less than a month of action since its July 18 resumption.

The association decided to bring the league eventually won by Nkana FC to a premature end following an increase of coronavirus infections among teams’ officials and players.

‘NO ONE’S FAULT’

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

T

HE Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) cannot be blamed for its bold decision to prematurely end the MTN/FAZ Super Division at Week-27 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, says Nkana Football Club Chief Executive Officer Charles Chakatazya Chakatazya, who celebrated as Nkana FC bagged their 13th title however noted that clubs should have been involved in deciding how the league should have concluded to prevent the confusion witnessed prior to Nkana’s coronation as league champions.

Chakatazya said the fracas

Lusambo delivers

LUSAKA Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has given Ndola outfit Forest Rangers K100, 000 for qualifying for the CAF Champions League after finishing the 2019/2020

witnessed at the final stage of the league eventually won

by Nkana had nothing to do with football administrators because it was not their duty to test and provide Covid-19 results.

He said the Covid-19 pandemic which affected the entire country compelled the association to make decisions which a lot of people felt were not necessary.

“The issue is that it was something to do with the way the tests of the pandemic where done and how the results were released because some teams would do tests and stay for seven days without receiving their results which wasn’t helping in any way,” Chakatazya said.

FAZ still committed to FIFA meeting

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

WE are still committed to holding the meeting with stakeholders and have been in constant communication with the soccer governing body FIFA but was only waiting for Covid-19 guidelines to be relaxed, says the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ).

But former FAZ executive Committee member Elijah Shenko Chileshe has noted that the association and the Ministry of Sports needed to speed up the process of call-

ing for the meeting if wrangles are to end in Zambian football.

Shenko expressed concern that the meeting which should have been called ten days after signing the truce between the warring parties was taking long.

He said that it was of great concern that people had been barred from contesting elections thereby causing an impasse that could only be sorted out by a meeting with the soccer governing body. ....To Page 15
