SANCTIMONIOUS EXPIRED FORCE IT is quite unseemly for the so-called retired eminent citizens to use privations created by Covid-19 to champion a political cause under the guise of civic education.

It is disingenuous to suggest that the organisation is intended for Civic education. Civics is taught in schools, and outside of a pedagogical setting this is called politics.

It is common knowledge that the pandemic has created dire economic circumstances which are yet to reach their peak with rising infection, mortalities, and as the collateral negative economic effects manifest. Adversity is undoubtedly, fertile ground for ready political capital, but taking advantage of these circumstances to promote a political agenda is wrong.

The eminent and some not remotely eminent persons would have done well to enter the political arena and join the fray to exercise their civic duty than cower behind an NGO, that claims not to be political per se, whatever this means.

This country has been through very difficult and trying times including, drought which affected electricity generation, flooding which has damaged homes and literally rendered thousands of families food insecure, arson and gassing attacks which are yet to be explained and a general economic malaise.

We, as a newspaper suffered an arson attack in which an attempt was made to burn our offices through an incendiary attack.

Aristotle, the Greek philosopher who coined the term politics also defined the golden mean, being the moral centre, which exists between excess and deficiency.

He also coined the Seven Heavenly Virtues being Faith, Hope, Charity, Fortitude, Justice, Temperance and Prudence.

The manifesto or foundation statement of this organisation is a total deviation from the moral mean.

It is instead a bitter and confrontational document that leaves very little room to judge as to the mental frame of those who drafted it.

The bitterness is extreme, completely eschewing the notion that the history of man and of humanity is the history of the redeeming love of God. President Edgar Lungu’s Government is made up of mortals, fallible human beings who also have redeeming virtues as they contribute towards God’s creative purpose. To suggest therefore that governance has disintegrated to irredeemable levels is neither fair nor moral.

It is morally unconscionable to try and replicate in Zambia the Malawian model which saw youth demonstrations masterminded by the Human Rights Defender Coalition (HRDC) and the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) which was a pressure group of religious communities and related activist groups.

The greatest tragedy is the abuse of the generation shift to recruit the services of the youth in a campaign that evokes primordial sentiments of envy, greed and jealousy to mask the deep political intent of those who previously had but squandered their chance to make this country a better place.

They cannot now in retirement, hope to make up for lost opportunity.

Your time is gone.

SANGWA CHALLENGED TO PRESENT PETITION NOW C

By NATION REPORTER

ONSTITUTIONAL lawyer John Sangwa should bring forward his presidential petition regarding President Edgar Lungu's eligibility which he claims is ready, Eastern Province Minister Makebi Zulu has said.

Mr Zulu, a lawyer and PF Malambo Member of Parliament (MP), said the presidential petition was a non-issue which had already been settled.

He was reacting to Mr Sangwa's sentiments that a petition against President Lungu contesting the 2021 elections was ready.

Mr Zulu said Mr Sangwa's petition should be brought

forward and would be dealt with immediately.

"Mr Sangwa represented LAZ in that case and the judgement was very clear. He says he has this petition on his laptop, let him bring it, we will respond and we will make sure he pays costs personally," Mr Zulu said.

He said Mr Sangwa was trying to be oblivious on a matter that was already settled but urged him to continue talking if his interest was to remain relevant on the political field.

He also described Mr Sangwa's suggestion to prove Bill 10 popularity by subjecting it to a referendum as laughable.

Mr Zulu said Mr Sangwa should talk about the benefits of the Bill such as creating certainty on the issue of mixed

member representation, recognition of chiefs, promoting women representation in parliament among other issues rather than issuing misleading statements on the matter.

Atlas Mara in K200, 000 cash transaction riddle, court hears

By RABECCA BANDA A CORE banking and support manager has told the magistrates court how he couldn’t determine physical presence of an initiator of K200, 000 transaction at Atlas Mara Bank.

Mr Anthony Mpanga, 29, a Core banking application and support manager said he was unable to tell whether a person physically initiated the transaction or not.

This was in the matter before magistrate Felix Kaoma where Rashid Kyagulanyi, 27, an electrical engineer of

Matero is accused of having unauthorised access to data that is essential for the provision of an essential service, contrary to sections 99(1) and 99(8) of the electronic communication and transaction Act number 21 of 2009 of the Laws of Zambia.

Particulars of the offence were that Kyagulanyi on dates unknown but between December 31, 2019, and January 5, 2020, with other persons unknown did intentionally access Atlas Mara Bank Limited database, a database that is essential for the provision of an essential

Chita Lodge wants kidnapping case dismissed

By CHINTU MALAMBO and GRACE CHAILE

CHITA Lodge Limited has argued that the delay by four Lusaka men to prosecute a matter where it has been sued together with Kaizer Zulu for alleged kidnapping, is inexcusable.

The lodge has complained that it has continued to incur expenses in an effort to defend the matter.

Chita Lodge Limited has, therefore, asked the Lusaka High Court to dismiss the matter for want of prosecution.

In this case, Bernard Nshindo, Sengelwayo Jere, Saul Masikoti who are qualified surveyors and businessmen, as well as, Mason Mweemba, a driver, sued Zulu and his two acquaintances; Kachingwe and Rashid in September last year.

They sued for alleged

beating and kidnapping on accusations that they were taking pictures of Zulu’s speed boat at Chita Lodge, in Kafue.

Others sued are Chita Lodge Limited and Bella Mwanza, an employee of the lodge.

In an affidavit in support of summons to dismiss the matter for want of prosecution, Chita Lodge and Mwanza stated that it had now been over three months since they filed their defence, adding that the plaintiffs had neglected to prosecute the matter.

They said this through their lawyer Nomankhosi Jere of Messrs Ranchhod and Chungu Advocates.

But in an affidavit in opposition, the plaintiffs through their lawyer Machayi Kasaji of Messrs C L Mundia and Company, objected to the defendants’ application to dismiss the matter, saying it was frivolous and vexatious.

service without lawful authority.

Mr Mpangs said the core banking also known as flexcube is a system that recognises business dates which are from Monday to Friday and excluding public holidays.

Mr Mpanga said journal shows that the transaction was initiated by the bank user, authorised by bank user and the date validated being January 2. He said the transaction journal does not show the transactional date time as the report only takes account of business dates.

Trial continues.

Expedite fuel tracking system, state urged

By BENNIE MUNDANDO ZAMBIA should expedite the implementation of the tracking system for tankers importing Government-procured fuel to curb rampant smuggling of petroleum products, the Petroleum Transporters Association of Zambia (PTAZ) has said.

Lubinda castigates hypocritical UPND

By SIMON MUNTEMBA PARLIAMENT yesterday heard how the UPND leadership has continued denying Zambians their human rights with impunity.

Minister of Justice, Given Lubinda said it was disappointing that the UPND members of Parliament (MPs) who actively decampaigned the referendum on the bill of rights, and currently decampaigning the progressive bill 10 are now crying for human rights.

Debating the motion on African Peer Review Mechanism, UPND Mazabuka MP Gary Nkombo said human rights and freedom of expression had been clamped down by the PF Government.

Mr Nkombo said the closure of Prime Television was evidence that freedom of speech is under threat.

Opposition leader of the house, Jack Mwiimbu also said there was human rights violation under the PF regime. Mr Mwiimbu who is UPND Monze MP further said the ruling party was not tolerant to divergent views.

But Mr Lubinda said it did not make sense that the UPND MPs that had asked people to vote against the referendum on the bill of rights were now saying there was no human rights in Zambia when they had denied Zambians a blissful opportunity.

The Minister said he was dismayed by the UPND’s inconsistencies.

OMC expressed ignorance over the matter despite some sources within claiming that the tanker had been taken to ZRA offices in Ndola.

But PTAZ secretary-general Benson Tembo said the tanker was in the hands of ZRA. He added if the country was to curb illegalities in the petroleum subsector, ZRA should implement the tracking system which countries like Tanzania and Zimbabwe were using.

Mr Tembo said Government was losing huge sums of money through smuggling, hence the need to expedite the tracking system to stop the scourge.

He said it was not possible for any Zambian truck driver to engage in any such illegalities because PTAZ, working with the association of drivers, was able to track each vehicle that was loaded with Government procured fuel.

Mr Tembo said once the tracking model was implemented, no foreign tanker driver would have the loophole to engage in any illegal activities in Zambia.

Mr Njase said Mr M’membe was charged for being in possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime, fraudulently appropriation of property and

theft.

“Be informed that Fred M’membe has been officially arrested and charged for fraudulently appropriation of property by director contrary to section 324(a) of the penal code chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia, theft by Director contrary to section 272 of the penal code chapter 87 of the laws of Zambia and being in possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime C/sec 71 of the forfeiture of proceeds od crime Act number 19 of 2010,” he said.

Mr Njase said Mr M’membe had been released on bond and would appear in court soon.

Police last year recorded a warn and caution statement from Mr M’membe for the offence of being in possession of property suspected to be proceeds of crime.

This is in connection with a (property) building located in Mwika Village of SubChief Mwabawankulungwe in Senior Chief Nkula of Shiwang’andu District.

This followed the complaint made on June 19th 2019 by post Newspapers limited liquidator Lewis Mosho.

Liquidator of Post Newspapers Lewis Mosho on June 19 2019 requested Police to protect and investigate property belonging to its Editor in Chief Fred M’membe located in Mwika area in Chief Nkula’s area in Chinsali suspected to have been obtained from proceeds of crime.

LAZ IS MISCHIEVOUS - YALI

By PETER SICHALI

IT is mischievous for the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) to always side with the UPND on matters of national interest, Young African Leaders initiative (YALI) president Andrew Ntewewe has said.

And Mr Ntewewe said the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has lost its moral fibre and public trust to contribute to national discourse.

He was reacting to the recent stance by LAZ that the Speaker, Patrick Matibini was out of order to expel Chishimba Kambwili as Roan Member of Parliament, saying the association was always siding with the opposition.

Mr Ntewewe said LAZ had been political on various positions on matters of national interest contrary to its statutory obligations.

"LAZ today is not an institution the nation can look up to for guidance, the association was supposed to guide the nation on matters of law and legal framework and should have stood tall so that people would have been running to them as an aorta of neutrality," Mr Ntewewe said.

He said LAZ having been

established with statutory instrument it was expected to be neutral of affairs of the state as opposed to always taking partisan stance.

Mr Ntewewe said LAZ is no longer an institution people can look up to because its positions on several matters are synonymous with that of the UPND. He said it was clear that the association vowed to always contradict Government and take the position of UPND. Mr Ntewewe said it was disappointing that LAZ has always taken opposite and antagonistic views against Government.

Mr Ntewewe said LAZ has taken the position of UPND on bill 10 and President Edgar Lungu's eligibility among others.

And Citizens Democratic Party leader Robert Mwanza said LAZ has lost its credibility by always siding with the opposition UPND on many issues of national interest.

Mr Mwanza said it was unfortunate that the LAZ as an institution mandated by law to provide guidance to the nation on legal matters had decided to side with the opposition.

He said his investigation revealed that G and G National wide was awarded a contract

Lawyer Kabwe dies

By NATION REPORTER

LUSAKA lawyer, Hobday Kabwe has died.

Mr Kabwe died at Fairview Hospital in Lusaka yesterday after an illness.

He was rushed there in the morning and died within hours.

Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) president Eddie Mwitwa confirmed the death of Mr Kabwe.

Mr. Mwitwa said Mr. Kabwe’s contribution to the legal fraternity would be missed.

He said that his ability to interpret the constitution was unmatched.

Mr. Mwitwa said the

WE have attained over 900 tonnage movement of cargo from the total target of 1.2 million tonnage this year, Zambia Railways Limited (ZRL has said.

The rail firm has also attained about 25 percent of cargo movement locally.

ZRL Chief Executive Officer, Christopher Musonda, said the company had increased the tonnage of cargo movement this year.

Mr Musonda said the company had attained about 991 tonnage from the 1.2 million tonnage, targeted this year with only 209 deficit.

He said in an interview yesterday that even when the business had been hit severely, some strides had been made to ensure that the movement of cargo increased.

In the first count, the accused is charged with forgery contrary to section 347 of the laws of Zambia, Particulars of the offence are that the accused on 27th August 2013 and 14 October 2013, with intent to deceive, did forge a letter namely Contract no RDA CE 412, dated 28 August 2013 in the name of Eng Charles Mushota by purporting to show that it was genuinely Issued by the Road Development Agency (RDA) when not.

pay for it at the time of need because we will mobilise Zambians to revenge in next year’s elections,” he said.

Maj Kachingwe said Mwinelubemba like any other Zambian had the right to freedom of expression and opinion on any topic of national importance.

He said Chitimukulu has not done anything wrong to warrant insults from the opposition.

“At first Chitimukulu was advising us as Bembas on taking part in voting then this time he talked about people claiming that there is no freedom of expression, then they start insulting him. What type of politicians are they!” Maj Kachingwe wondered.

Covid-19 for the last three months," he said.

Mr Musonda however said the company had not raked in sufficient revenue because it only conducted business within the country due to restrictions resulting from Covid-19.

He said the company usually raised more revenue when there was cross border trade.

“You know counties like South Africa only allowed movement of essential goods like food and copper. Other commodities were considered to be non-essential goods and we couldn't transport," he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Musonda said since the 30 percent bulk cargo movement was signed in 2018, roughly 25 percent had been achieved.

He said the company had only achieved the 30 percent in the transportation of cargo from Zambia Sugar.

Mr Musonda said it had been difficult to achieve the target in movement of copper and other minerals because the railway system did not reach the North-Western Province where huge production was being done.

MINE CONTRACTORS STILL IN LIMBO

By SILUMESI MALUMO

MOPANI Copper Mine (MCM) has not given clear terms to the few contractors who have been recalled, making them reluctant to start operations, Mine Suppliers and Contractors Association of Zambia (MSCAZ) has said.

According to the association, the mining firm has not recalled other contractors whose contracts were terminated.

MSCAZ president Augustine Mubanga said a number of contractors had failed to mobilise and start work because the mining firm had not given a clear picture in the new contracts.

Mr Mubanga said in an interview that the association had made efforts to arrange for a meeting with Mopani to formalise the new terms but there was no tangible response.

"On April 8, 2020 after Government rejected the care and maintenance proposal

by Mopani, contractors remained out of contracts and even when Mopani rescinded its decision, the contract were still under termination. Very few were recalled.

He said it was shocking that Mopani had failed to inform the nation on the status of contractors who were re-engaged and those whose contracts were terminated.

RESIDENT Edgar Lungu has shown commitment to improving the welfare of Zambians in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, says the Zambian DNA. According to the Zambia DNA, naysayers must give President Lungu space to work because he still has the mandate to offer his services to the country.

Zambian DNA spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa, said there was no question about the source of the current economic challenges the country was facing because it was a global phenomenon.

Mr Mulemwa said said in an interview that despite the ugly face of Covid-19 which was ravaging economies across the globe, President Lungu had not succumbed to external pressures aimed at making him lose focus on how to lead the country through the crisis.

He said Government had put in place a number of stimulus intervention to revive the economy and that credit must be given where it was due as the President had done a fantastic job thus far.

He said it was for the reason that the President Lungu deserved a fresh mandate in 2021 because he had performed beyond expectations despite the economic challenges brought by natural occurrences.

AUDIT MINE INVESTMENT CLAIMS, GOVT TOLD

By SILUMESI MALUMO

“Black Mountain” into copper and cobalt.

Rudra Copper Limited said it would establish a fully integrated copper industry with little or no waste as the by-product would be transformed into pavers and other construction-related materials.

The firm said this when the Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) team led by the Board

chairman, Mr Fisho Mwale toured the company in Chingola recently.

But Mr Chani said in an interview yesterday that with such investment there should be significant change on the mining sites as well as host community.

He suggested that Government should audit and ascertain the impact of such huge investment to establish if the

pronouncements would tally with the development on the site.

"The big challenge which we have is that the figures being pronounced in the mining sector are not corresponding with the activities on the sites. And as a media house we challenge you to try and speak to the firm and tell him that the association has reservations.

THE ruling Communist Party of China (CPC) has donated epidemic prevention materials to the Patriotic Front (PF) aimed at helping the country to enhance the fight against Covid-19.

PF Secretary-General, Davies Mwila, said the donated items included 30, 000 surgical masks, 500 sets of medical protective garments and 240 forehead thermometers.

The donated batch of material were handed over to Mr Mwila on behalf of the CPC central committee by Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Li Jie at the embassy in Lusaka yesterday.

Mr Jie said the CPC decided to donate epidemic prevention materials to ruling PF to as solidarity in helping Zambia combat Covid-19.

“We are very delighted to present these donations on behalf of CPC. We are together in the fight against Covid-19,” Mr Jie said.

In receiving the donations, Mr Mwila said the gesture would go a long way in fighting the pandemic.

Mr Mwila said China had always been an all-weather friend of Zambia and the two parties shared common national and social values including prosperity, civility, harmony and friendship.

He said China’s support to Zambia which extended on government and party-level to fight Covid-19 was commendable.

PANICKED INVESTORS INUNDATE BROKERS AFTER ZIMBABWE SHUTS BOURSE

H

ARARE Stockbrokers in Zimbabwe are struggling to explain to investors what’s happened to their money after the government shut down the stock exchange.

The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange announced Sunday it suspended trade to comply

‘On our knees’: Kenya’s tourism revenue collapses NAIROBI - Kenya has lost US$752 million so far in tourism revenue, about half of last year’s total, due to the coronavirus crisis, its tourism minister said on Monday.

The sector is one of the leading sources of foreign exchange, earning $1.54 billion last year, which had been expected to grow one percent in 2020.

Tourism Minister Najib Balala said things would get worse before they can improve. “The second half is almost as good as zero. So we have a major problem,” he told reporters after launching his ministry’s study on Covid19’s impact.

with a directive issued by the Information Ministry late on Friday that the bourse close.

It’s the latest in a series of measures the government has implemented to try and stabilise the nation’s currency.

Traders have been inundated with calls from “shocked and stressed” investors all morning, Thedias Kasaira,

The estimated losses include cancelled bookings for the high season months of July-October, said Mohammed Hersi, the chairman of the Kenya Tourism Federation, a private sector lobby.

From Indian Ocean beaches to the Maasai Mara wildlife reserve, tourism contributes 10 percent of Kenya’s annual economic output and employs over two million people.

Kenya, which so far has confirmed more than 6, 000 cases of the disease, shut its airspace to commercial flights in March. It has also banned movement into and out of the capital Nairobi and the coastal resort city of Mombasa.

“The entire tourism sector is out of business. There are major job losses,” Balala said.

“We are on our knees.”

Resorts will be required to observe strict social distancing and hygiene measures to curb the spread of the virus once they reopen, Balala said, without giving any timelines. – REUTERS.

IMF says SA loan talks moving at measured pace WASHINGTON The International Monetary Fund's discussions with South Africa over a $4.2 billion loan to support its fight against the coronavirus pandemic are taking place at a "measured pace" because the country's deep and liquid capital markets ensure it still has access to financing, according to the director of the Washington-based lender's Africa department.

"The key is not so much urgency in us providing financing but rather because we are able to provide much cheaper financing than would otherwise be the case," Abebe Aemro Selassie told reporters on Monday in a virtual press conference.

Under the rapid financing instrument the country "would be able to access this financing at very low interest rates - almost negligible interest rates - relative to the higher cost of borrowing that South Africa faces," he said.

The pandemic has forced the ruling African National

Congress to end its long-held resistance to borrowing from the IMF and the National Treasury requested assistance to cover virus-related spending at the end of April.

The $4.2bn loan is the country's maximum entitlement under its special drawing rights with the lender and would be payable over 3.25 to five years at an interest rate of just over one percent.

While there have been "protracted negotiations" with the lender, South Africa believes it has reached a common understanding and expects the IMF's local staff to make a submission on the request to the executive board early next month, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni said last weak after presenting a special adjustment budget that accounts for the damage wrought by the virus.

South Africa is counting on $7bn from multilateral lenders and development finance institutions to support its response to the pandemic. – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

managing director at Imara Edwards Securities, said by phone on Monday from the capital, Harare.

“Clients are asking and we don’t know what to tell them,” he said. “They want an explanation, but we haven’t been able to give one as we also don’t know the reason.”

Zimbabwe’s benchmark

industrial index has risen more than sevenfold this year to a record. Investors have used the domestic bourse as a haven from the country’s collapsing currency and inflation of 786 percent - the highest rate in a decade.

Investors with cash in Zimbabwe prefer to buy shares to avoid their money losing

value. Movements in domestic stock prices track the parallel currency markets on the streets of Harare, where the Zimbabwe dollar changes hands at about 100 per US dollar, compared with the official rate of 57.35.

“People are looking at a hedge against inflation; that’s why they are switching from

Zimbabwe dollars to equities,” said Lloyd Mlotshwa, head of equities at Harare-based IH Securities. “The stock exchange serves as a proxy to parallel market rates.”

ZSE Chief Executive Officer Justin Bgoni said he wasn’t immediately able to comment when contacted by phone. – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

INVITATION FOR TRAINING PROPOSALS FINANCING SKILL TRAINING FOR EMPLOYER BASED IN-SERVICE TRAINING Background The Skills Development Levy was established in 2016 under the Skills Development Levy Act No. 46 of 2016. The main objective of the levy is to provide financial resource for the TEVET sector for skills development in collaboration with the Technical Education, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA), which was established under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act of No. 13 of 1998 and the amendment Act No. 11 of 2005. Among the responsibilities of TEVETA, is the management of the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) Fund. The Skills Development Fund (SDF) plays an important role in assisting the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to develop a high quality, sustainable, demand-driven, and equitable TEVET system, and one of the mechanisms used in achieving this objective is the TEVET Fund.

The TEVET Fund establishes a financing platform that purchases training services from public providers, on a competitive basis, for skills development in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy, at an arm’s length transaction. It plays a critical role in the reform of the TEVET system by separating the provision of training from its financing. It also shifts the focus from quantity to quality. As a financier of training being procured from TEVET providers, the TEVET Fund is able to introduce standards and accountability to the system for the desired outcomes. The

Fund also introduces performance incentives for training providers and, through its stakeholders, establishes rules for spending on training services that promote national development objectives, including equitable access.

The closing date for submission of proposals is Friday 17th July 2020 at 15:00hrs.

Proposals sent by Tele-fax or email will not be accepted. Opening of proposals will immediately follow closure of the Tender Box. Applicants are welcome to witness the Opening of the Tender Box.

Invitation to Employers and Training Providers

DETAILED TERMS OF REFERENCE HAVE BEEN EMAILED TO ALL TEVETA REGISTERED INSTITUTIONS. HOWEVER, THESE MAY ALSO BE OBTAINED FROM TEVETA OFFICES AT THE ADDRESS BELOW.

The Government of the Republic of Zambia, using proceeds from the SDF, has set aside funds towards the implementation of the Employer Based Training (EBT) activities through the TEVET Fund.

The TEVET Fund is hereby inviting Employers in collaboration with Training Institutions registered with TEVETA, under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act No. 13 of 1998 and the amendment Act No. 11 of 2005, to present proposals for support through the TEVET Fund towards skills development for EBT. This financing is available to Employers and TEVET providers whose request for financing will be considered responsive to the disbursement criteria. Focus is on provision of training that meets the current market demands.

Submission of Proposals Training Providers will be required to submit five (5) copies of each of the proposals in a sealed envelope. The envelope should be clearly marked with the Name of the Applicant Institution.

Please note that the costs of preparing the proposal and of negotiating the contract, including a visit to TEVETA, are not reimbursable as a direct cost of the proposed funding. TEVETA is not bound to accept any of the proposals submitted. All proposals submitted will remain the property of TEVETA.

Pepertual T Khumalo: They are very hard working, good people with a sense of humility. Our fellow Zambians can never give us a candle for K2 on credit but those people have good customer relationship such that they give us bags of mealie meal on credit and we pay after being paid.

Exposed electoral fraud

Mwiinde Chaikatisha: I respect them, hard working and innovative.

Dear Editor, ONE opposition leader has a habit of forming unholy political alliances both in Zambia and outside. The desperation to become President has even made that opposition leader to auction sovereignty to the foreign consultants who may likely hold his government hostage.

This gives any discerning mind to wonder why this politician is obsessed with foreigners in the country’s internal problems. Although he is aspiring to be President, he still have faith that only outsiders can resolve Zambian problems. This is typical of a politician who is war minded and ready to set the country on fire for the sake of his political project.

This is perhaps the reason why his party does not want electoral reforms such as the Political Party Bill which will make politicians accountable in the administration of the internal politics.

Political party funding is another crucial issue that should not be undermined.

We want to know where the opposition leader gets funding from for him to run such flamboyant campaigns.

There is no doubt these inappropriate international links are tied to some financial interests. We expect in 2021 all political parties to disclose the source of their financial resources.

After all the opposition leader has lamentably failed to give a satisfactory explanation on his relations with Cambridge Analytica.

We will not allow any foreign interest to subvert the people's will especially their unstoppable determination to renew President Edgar Lungu's mandate for another five years.

We have traversed this country and the people's plea to maintain PF and the President is loud and clear.

We also remind the Financial Intelligence Centre and all concerned security agencies to be alert for any illicit financial transactions for this treasonous deal. FIC should flex its muscle and promote financial integrity.

Lastly, we advise this opposition leader to test his popularity within his party by subjecting himself to a transparent party convention.

Lynx Lungu: FOR ONCE MR. MAYOR, NO. THIS CHAP IS JUST BITTER ABOUT HIS FAILING KANTEMBA. THESE RWANDA BUSINESSES HAVE REALLY HELPED US LOCALS. Mwape Fungulani Katebe: Leave the Rwandese alone..they have the best customer care..Ba mayor don’t entertain such thoughts from lazy citizens Christine Musesa: I don't see anything wrong, please let the minister concentrate on important issues. If you have beef with your neighbour who is a Rwandaniz just go back and make peace. Let them work in peace those people are cool.

Simz Anthony Njavwa: Just leave them naimwe. They are very helpful. Ninshi business yenu naidensa you start reporting your friends?

Hope Nakapite: Just learn something from them, by 06:00 they are open and 21:00 still open, let's just learn to work hard not ma green eyes like a green creature in the green grass.

Carlos Silva: Mmmm true it’s everywhere. And time of this inspectors you find their shops are closed like the way it was in BAULENI yesterday morning, waiting for the LC to leave.

And these Rwandanese don't have licences, a lot of them. In Zambians’ small shops you won't find such things. What are our women going to sell please?

Emmanuel Ng'oma: Just work hard bane Sandy Donalds: Iyo bane ni jealous, those people are helpful and hardworking....leave thme alone mwebantu!

Mercie Patel Lungu: Leave them alone and just work hard.

Jealousy takes you nowhere. .. Mr or Mr Anonymous.

Reuben H Siwila: Sinyangwe please mind your own business, you are just jealous.

Patrick Chanda Luyando: The difference is, Zambians love “free handouts.” Rwandanese are some of the most hardworking Africans I know. If “some Zambians” are so concerned, let them approach the Rwandanese people and learn how to run a grocery store/stores.

Doris Erics Chisanga: I live among people from Burundi and Rwanda, there a're many of them in Solwezi. I've lived among them since 2015, mourned with them and laughed with them, I find these people helpful than our fellow Zambian neighbours, let's not start thinking like South Africans, who kill, fight and steal from fellow Africans. We're one, the people we should be talking about are outsiders like Chinese, coz they're now taken over even our local businesses.

Try going to Maheba and see how friendly and caring these people can be.

Meah Velerian Mumba: They even sleep muma shops Ides Liesl: Awe Zambians mulinachi meko busy looking for employment in foreign-owned companies instead of running these same businesses that Rwandanese are running...just learn something from them.

Ivy Sangulube-Kalunga: Jealousy will kill some people.

Suezio Sue: Those people are hard working. The best you can do as a complainant is to try as much as possible to reach to their level not iyo jealous thinking. The same guys are very peaceful and friendly. Learn a thing or two from them and your life will change. Talking from experience I lived with these guys, I know their strength when it come to business.

Rwandanese are hardworking people.

‘DEMOCRACY OF STUPIDITY’ Dear Editor,

I

AGREE with Chitimukulu Chanda Manga Sosala that democracy has brought stupidity to Zambia. All delinquents have rushed to social media to insult people whom they cannot face in real life.

It is a world of cowards.

Cowards thrive on social media because they use fake names to defame people.

To make matters worse, ZICTA is too slow to fish out even the known culprits who are abusing social media to bring down other people through concocted stories.

When democracy flourishes, people are careless with democracy and in our country, it means insulting others.

That is not the stupidity the Chitimukulu was referring to.

People must remember that your freedom ends where mine starts. You should not infringe on my freedom to enjoy your Dear editor, I TOTALLY agree with your editorial about Youth Empowerment.

Investment in gold, manganese and emeralds could be the solution unlike giving money to the youth without a longterm plan.

Other important ventures are the much talked about underperforming companies.

Let’s look at a few of them like Mulugushi Textiles and Kiffco in Kabwe, Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia in Kafue, Copperbelt

freedom.

Enjoy your freedom knowing that there are limits in so far as another person’s freedom is concerned. Democracy does not mean your freedom is more important than mine.

No. It means we are both free to enjoy our freedoms without encroaching on other people’s. So ukubwatauka without sense on social media is just stupidity.

Make your case in a clear and unblemished language, free of insults or character assassination.

That is what society needs because everyone is important and deserves respect.

So bane let us respect each other. If you w e r e

brought up correctly by your parents, do the right thing.

Behave correctly.

Youth empowerment Solid Waste Management Company in Kitwe, Ndola Lime in Ndola and other firms in need of recapitalisation.

If these companies are recapitalised, I believe a lot of youths can be employed for a long time. Instead of looking at short-term solutions let us look at the long-term solutions. Look at how KCM

have stabilised after divorcing Vedanta. That’s the spirit we need. Instead of giving money to the youth, concentrate on revamping some of these industries that’s where the solution lies. Emphasis should be on encouraging improvement in corporate governance issues for recapitalised companies.

Meanwhile, the union commended Government for ensuring that the Local Government Equalisation Fund (LGEF) was disbursed timely to the local authorities.

Mr Mwinsa explained that Government has disbursed the LGEF up to May from the 2020 National Budget.

The apportionment of the LGEF was 20 percent for capital projects while the remaining 80 percent supplements the recurrent expenditure and includes the financing of personal investments for both employees and civic leaders.

"Our humble request is that the Central Government continues to consider the local authorities in this manner if tangible development is to be realised," Mr Mwinsa said.

Ms Mwanza indicated that the exercise which begun on Monday this week would run up to September 12 this year.

She said Veterinary Assistants would be vaccinating the dogs while registration and cropping would be done by the council and police.

According to Ms Mwanza, the teams conducting the exercise would be stationed at every site for six days in various locations.

"At each new site the first three days will be for vaccination and registration, while on the subsequent three days the exercise will run concurrently with door-to-door dog cropping for those who fail to respond as well as for dogs found astray," she said.

She emphasised that it was a mandate for all residents to have their dogs vaccinated, registered and confined.

We are still popular - UPND

By ANDREW MUKOMA WE are still popular despite the resignation of our councillors in Lufwanyama on the Copperbelt, the United Party for National Development (UPND) has declared.

UPND deputy national spokesperson, Cornelius Mweetwa, said that the resignations of the four councillors had not affect the party in anyway, insisting that the opposition party was the people’s choice in Lufwanyama.

He said that come 2021, his party was positive of forming the next government.

Mr Mweetwa said in Livingstone that before the recent resignation of the four councillors, the party had 50 councillors on the Copperbelt.

“Before the resignation of four UPND councillors in Lufwanyama, UPND had 50 councillors on the Copperbelt. That was far back in 2016...you can imagine in 2021 what is going to happen.

“Copperbelt is flipping and there is no question about it. Even the victory of Roan Member of Parliament is substantially attributable to the UPND,” Mr Mweetwa said.

Mr Mweetwa, who is also Choma Central Member of Parliament (MP), charged that PF had been coercing UPND councillors to defect.

“And now we here they are in the tune of K300,000 for a councillor to resign and join the PF. And people are asking...is the UPND losing ground and grip to the PF? No, that is not the situation,” he said.

He charged that councillors were resigning because the amounts of money being put on the table were too colossal for weak souls.

The provincial conference was supposed to be held last weekend but could not take place due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

“Initially, the plan was to hold the provincial conference last week end, but it could not take place because people could not travel. So, we have deferred the provincial conference to a later date,” he said.

Mr Habeenzu also revealed that candidates who had filed in their nominations, would be scrutinized to ensure that there was representation from all corners of the province without leaving anyone behind.

“North-western province is dynamic and so, we have to ensure that all those who filed in nominations do not only come from one district or two districts only,” he said.

He further urged those who filed in nominations to continue campaigning peacefully before the election date is announced.

Open up rural areas - farmers

By OLIVER SAMBOKO GOVERNMENT should unlock the potential of small scale farmers by improving the feeder road network in rural areas, Zambia Alliance of Women (ZAW) Executive Director Edah Chimya has said.

Recently, President Edgar Lungu urged chain stores to priorities local agricultural products in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, which has triggered closure of borders.

Ms Chimya said improved feeder road network was not only a catalyst for rural development but also national economic growth as it would open farmers to ready markets in urban area.

She said Government should work on the road network to enable farmers transport their produce to the reedy market.

Ms Chimya said rural farmers had a lot of potential that should be unlocked to contribute to national development and improve both household and national food security.

She also bemoaned lack of water irrigation schemes in some parts of the country that had continued hindering farmers from producing enough for household and national consumption.

Ms Chimya also appealed to Government to improve health care services in rural areas in order to reduce maternal deaths which she said was on rise.

And Rural Women Assembly(RWA), Mumbwa area focal person Mary Sakala appealed to Government to promote value addition to farm produce.

Ms Sakala called for capacity building for women farmers, empowerment initiatives and investments through provision of farming equipment.

IS OCIDA A THIRD FORCE OR A THIRD CHARADE? Munshya wa Munshya On Friday

BY KANYANTA E. KAUMA

On Wednesday

DRAGER TON OD SREDAEL YNAM SREDAEL YRGNA SA SEVLESMEHT

L

AST week, rumour of a political earthquake did the rounds in Lusaka.

Initially I thought it was one of the usual Lusaka rumours until I saw it on the WhatsApp chats that normally tell the truth.

Third Force is finally born read the announcement; 13 months ahead of the 2021 elections, a Third Force known as OCiDA is launched by retired citizens.

Space will not allow me to list all the senior citizens in the group but the Chairman as announced is 95-year-old Simon Zukas who came to the then Northern Rhodesia as a refugee running away from Hitler’s Holocaust during the Second World War. The others are two former Secretaries to the Cabinet Sketchley Sachika and Lesley Mbula, former Lusaka Diocese Archbishop Telesphore

Mpundu, former member of the UNIP Central Committee Bautis Kapulu and former Cabinet Minister William Harrington plus a cluster of retired professionals whose backgrounds have varying degrees of mixed success and failure in their careers.

The announcement was received with surprisingly negative comments even from people I never thought would express such strong opinions on political matters.

A Catholic woman who I know to be a passionate believer and very loyal worshipper had this to say about the presence of Archbishop Mpundu in OCiDA: “Morning and thanks my brother. Awe ubuntunse nincito.

What is this OCIDA really for.

Is it trying to divert attention of the bill 10. What is our retired Bishop doing there and abusing our building (Kapingila House)? I wish he could focus his energy on church-related

Amapolitics yalapwisha umucinshi (politics erode respect). Have a blessed day!?”

Some of the many other comments were: “They are just broke. It’s palaver!

LEGAL NOTICE

Ala bwa fya sana These fellas seem to think that they are entitled to an elitist life in Zambia They seem to have a selfimagined sense of aristocracy.

Old wine in new bottles. It won’t help Zambia Kikikikikikik. But why can’t the same group form a Gold mining company?”

Others thought it was the rebirth of the Oasis Forum because of the presence of Engineer Gilbert Temba.

One citizen thought that the OCIDA was a recipe for civil strife in the country, stating that the Catholic Church was putting itself in the same position that it was during the genocide that cost nearly a million lives in Rwanda. ”It is very dangerous for the church to take sides in any political dispute, they must be reconciliatory and not be seen to be the perpetrators or protagonists,” he said.

He said that he had spoken to several fellow Catholics from the lower and middle income and none of them agreed with the presence of Archbishop Mpundu in OCIDA or the letter of the Council of Bishops in Zambia regarding Bill 10.

OCIDA or Our Civic-Duty listed 15 causes which led to the decision of the Retired Eminent Citizens to form their organisation. The announcement claimed that OCIDA was not a political party, but a close look at the “Overall Objectives” of the organisation is frighteningly political.

OCIDA, or OUR CIVIC-DUTY ASSOCIATION (Ltd), is NOT A POLITICAL PARTY, per-se, the announcemenet read. Why a limited company is a big puzzle!

I am concerned about some of the causes that they have listed. My first concern is on their fourth objective which reads; Anti-Tonga-Lozi-NorthWest Tribalism. This in my view is a very dangerous statement which can lead to serious divisions and conflict in the country.

Such sentiments create mistrust which can lead to none acceptance of election defeat and inevitable violence.

Zambian citizens who do not

come from Southern, Western and North-Western will be scared of voting for a candidate from these three provinces.

Citizens who come from Northern, Luapula, Muchinga, Eastern, Copperbelt, Central and parts of Lusaka Province will out of fear not vote for a candidate from the other three provinces. It will be a sad day when we have an election impasse because of such foggy thinking by senior citizens.

This is very negative thinking.

In this country, we live together, we marry into each other’s tribes but politicians are hell bent on using tribalism to ascend to power. Such tribalists do not even care about their tribes when they get into power.

Similarly, all the other objectives or causes that they have listed are subjective; it depends on which side one stands and we all have a right to argue for or against each one of them.

For example, I do not agree that there is suppression of freedom of expression. If Bowman Lusambo threatens youths in his party, that is not suppression of freedom of expression. That is their own internal quarrel; but because of the shallow thinking of many Zambians, they believe 1Bally when he says it is suppression of freedom of speech.

If there was suppression of freedom of speech or expression, we would not see or hear so many boring and corrosive postings on social media or some of the insults and lies that we listen to on some interactive radio programmes.

Chitimukulu Kanyanta Manga II the other day called it “freedom of stupidity” because anyone can say anything on social media.

I completely agree with him and his other statement that there are very few people who can think in this country is also very correct. That is why people even believe Seer-1 and spend hours reposting his rantings.

There is little thinking.

My other big concern is the mention of elections rigging as concern number 13 by OCIDA. Our electoral system in one of the best in Africa

Elections rigging

My other big concern is the mention of elections rigging as concern number 13 by OCIDA. Our electoral system in one of the best in Africa and is impossible to rig.

It is true there was an attempt to rig the last elections by one of the many opposition parties which participated in the 2016 Presidential and General Election. and is impossible to rig. It is true there was an attempt to rig the last elections by one of the many opposition parties which participated in the 2016 Presidential and General Election.

There is a particular party that created a telecoms company which tried to hack the results transmission and the situation was only saved when the Electoral Commission of Zambia reverted to manual tallying of the results. OCIDA must check the facts and be very transparent and neutral if they are going to serve any purpose in our politics. They should not insinuate that the ruling party was involved in rigging or plans to rig, Of course I do agree with one or two of their causes. They are correct to inquire about the gassing incidents that took place in the country a few months ago. The whole nation is waiting for the answers. Where are the culprits?

Finally, I would like someone to help me understand the meaning of a Third Force. How can any organisation be a Third Force if it will not appear on the ballot paper?

Will OCIDA turn out to be an absurdity created to give a respectable appearance to an evil intention?

A sequence is a list of numbers or variables in a particular order.

Each number or variable in a sequence is called a term. There are various forms in which numbers or variables form sequences. Sequences can either be finite or infinite.

Finite sequences have a restriction to a number of terms. Such sequences have end points. For example 2,4,6,8,10,12,14. Is a finite sequence.

đ?‘›đ?‘›Y = đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž + (4 +1)đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ 3đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ = đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž + 3đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ đ?‘›đ?‘›Y−=1)đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž +=(4đ?‘Žđ?‘Žâˆ’ The arithmetic sequence can generally The arithmetic sequence canbegenerally be presented as: presented as: [Z[\ ]\ , Z ]Z [] \]\ [] \]\ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž, Z[\ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž + đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ , Z đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž] + 3đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ ,Z đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž] 4đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ ‌., Z [ Z [ [] \ ‌. đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž, đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž2đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ + đ?‘‘đ?‘‘đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž,+ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž]+ 2đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ ,+ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž]+ 3đ?‘‘đ?‘‘ đ?‘Žđ?‘Ž]+ 4đ?‘‘đ?‘‘

The 10th term can be expressed as 3 3

Infinite sequences have sequences without end point. For example sequence of natural numbers, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7‌.. the ellipsis show that the sequence go on and on without The focus at this level is on two types of sequences. The arithmetic sequence and the Geometric sequence.

ARITHMETIC SEQUENCE An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which the next term is obtained by either adding or subtracting a constant common number. This common number is called Common difference.

For example given that 10,14,18, are the terms of the arithmetic sequence, then the arithmetic mean is the middle term or the average of the first term and the last term.

In the case above, the arithmetic mean is 14. Which can be obtained by + [đ?’‚đ?’‚for + (đ?’?đ?’? đ?&#x;?đ?&#x;?)đ?’…đ?’…] Find the arithmeticđ?’‚đ?’‚mean the− consecutive arithmetic đ?‘¨đ?‘¨. đ?‘´đ?‘´ = sequence đ?&#x;?đ?&#x;?

ARITHMETIC MEAN Sometimes there are two terms given of a sequence, but there are not successive terms of the sequence. The terms between any two non-successive terms of an arithmetic sequence are called Arithmetic Means. For example, in the sequence below 19, đ?&#x;‘đ?&#x;‘đ?&#x;‘đ?&#x;‘, 41,52,63, đ?&#x;•đ?&#x;•đ?&#x;•đ?&#x;•, 85,96, the three arithmetic means between 30 and 74 are 41,52 and 63.

HOW TO FIND AN ARITHMETIC MEAN OF A GIVEN SEQUENCE NON CONSECUTIVE TERMS To find the arithmetic mean of an arithmetic sequence, the formula for the nth term can be used.

Covid-19 News

Global death toll hits 500, 000 PARIS - The global death toll from the coronavirus pandemic has topped half a million, AFP reports.

In another grim milestone, the number of infections recorded worldwide rose to more than 10 million, according to an AFP tally, complicating efforts to ease restrictions on debilitated economies.

The US has recorded more than 125, 000 deaths and 2.5 million cases - both around a quarter of the global totals.

The second hardest-hit country Brazil registered 259, 105 infections in the past week - the country's highest of any week during the pandemic.

The latest figures came as protesters in cities across Brazil - and as far away as Stockholm, London and Barcelona - held demonstrations against President Jair Bolsonaro, who has said the virus is akin to a "little flu" and railed against stayat-home measures.

In the UK, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said his country had gone through a "profound shock" as he prepared to unveil a large stimulus programme.

"I think this is the moment for a Rooseveltian approach to the UK," Johnson said, referring to former US president Franklin

The Middle East's most affected country Iran reported 162 more deaths on Monday, its highest single-day toll yet, a day after the country made mask-wearing mandatory for inside gatherings.

Reuters reports that a spike

in US coronavirus infections is fuelled in large part by people ignoring public health guidelines to keep their distance and wear masks, the government's top infectious disease official said.

A daily surge in confirmed cases has been most pronounced in southern and western states that did

not follow health officials' recommendations to wait for a steady decline in infections for two weeks before reopening their economies.

"That's a recipe for disaster," Anthony Fauci, who directs the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN in an interview broadcast on Monday. – AFP.

SENEGAL LIFTS CORONAVIRUS STATE OF EMERGENCY DAKAR - Senegalese President Macky Sall has said a state of emergency and nighttime curfew imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus has been lifted.

In a televised address, the president also announced the resumption of international flights from July 15 but under stringent safety measures.

Sall warned that the country’s economic growth would slow from 6.8 percent to 1.1 percent, or even less, due to the impact of the pandemic.

He urged people to resume their normal activities to get the economy back on track. Civil servants will now work from 08:00 to 17:00 local time, but entertainment spots will remain closed.

The closure of public markets one day per week for cleaning will continue. Wearing face masks remains mandatory in public spaces, workplaces,

public transport and shops.

The president is himself under a two-week quarantine after he came into contact with an infected person. The quarantine ends next week.

The country has so far confirmed 6, 698 cases and 108 deaths. – BBC.

NO COMPROMISE …Tshisekedi vows not to accept judicial reforms that cause 'harm'

K

INSHASA Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi said on Monday he would not accept any reforms that undermined the independence of the Judiciary, the latest salvo in a standoff within the ruling coalition over proposed judicial changes.

The disagreement over a proposal to give the Justice ministry more control over criminal prosecutions

has highlighted strains in the coalition between Tshisekedi and allies of his long-serving predecessor, Joseph Kabila.

It led last week to the brief arrest of the Justice minister, prompting the Prime Minister to threaten the resignation of the government. In an address to the nation to mark Democratic Republic of Congo’s 60th anniversary of independence from Belgium, Tshisekedi alluded to the dispute.

“Under no circumstances will I accept reforms in this sector which, by their nature and content, would harm the fundamental

principles governing justice,” he said.

Tshisekedi came to power in January 2019, forming a coalition with Kabila, who maintains extensive powers through his parliamentary majority and control of most cabinet ministries and the Prime Minister’s office.

In his wide-ranging speech, Tshisekedi affirmed his commitment to working with the coalition.

But “let me take this symbolic occasion of commemorating independence to reaffirm that no majority, political or parliamentary ... can overstep the founding principles of the republic,” he warned. – REUTERS.

China passes national security law in turning point for Hong Kong HONG KONG/BEIJING China’s parliament passed national security legislation for Hong Kong yesterday, setting the stage for the most radical changes to the former British colony’s way of life since it returned to Chinese rule 23 years ago.

Gambia mulls unbanning skin-lightening creams BANJUL - The Gambia is considering a bill sponsored by the government to repeal a 24- year-old law banning skin-bleaching creams.

The law prohibits their importation, sale, possession and use.

Those pushing for the law to be repealed say it is discriminatory against women and girls in the country and not in line with the constitution.

Despite the decades-old

ban skin bleaching is practised by many Gambian women and it is believed that many local men prefer lightskinned women.

A popular Mandika saying says that “light-skinned ladies are a cure for flu-like symptoms.”

Some men use the products as well.

The bill had its first reading in parliament on June 22 and will be tabled for a second reading by the Attorney General and minister of Justice tomorrow.

Skin-lightening products have been found to have toxic chemicals and their use could lead to serious health problems.

Some, as warned by British health authorities last year, may “act like paint stripper.”

AFCON moves from January next year to 2022 THE Confederation of African Football (CAF) have confirmed the postponement of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and major changes for the current Champions League and Confederation Cup campaigns.

In the online CAF executive committee meeting yesterday, the leaders of the continent came to the decision for drastic changes in response to the coronavirus crisis on the continent.

Starting with AFCON 2021 in Cameroon, president Ahmed Ahmed confirmed the tournament will be moved to January 2022, while the African Nations Championship (CHAN) will be played out in January 2021.

For the club commitment in relation to the African Champions League and Confederation Cup, the semi-finals will no longer be contested over two-legs for home and away fixtures.

Raja Casablanca, Wydad Casablanca, Al Ahly and Zamalek will contest for a place in the final of the continent’s elite club competition in Cameroon in September, while the Confederation Cup will be hosted in Morocco.

The 2020 Women’s AFCON has also been scrapped this year by the CAF decision-makers in favour of the launch of the Women’s Champions League in 2021. – KICKOFF.

‘DAKA HAS CHARACTER’

“What Patson has done needs to be applauded because 24 goals in a season is not easy. This boy today has been ranked as the 13th deadliest striker where Ronaldo and Messi are so we need to respect that.’’

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

I

T’S not easy to score that many goals especially in Europe and hence there is need to respect Patson Daka for showing character, says former national soccer team coach Nchimunya Mweetwa.

Mweetwa has also commended Daka for remaining focussed after having endured insults a few seasons ago from Zambian fans while on the books of Power Dynamos during which he underwent a dry spell.

Daka increased his goal tally in the Austrian Bundesliga after he scored his 24th goal over the weekend, a tally that makes him the first Zambian to record such a feat in any European league and is second on the top scorers’ charts to Tom Welshman who has 26 goals.

Mweetwa scored 18 goals in the 2007 season while on the books of ROPS in Finland the closest

a Zambian got to reach the 20-goal mark in a European league.

Previously, former national team striker Mwape Miti scored 19 goals for Odense in the Danish League in the 2002/03 Season.

But Mweetwa noted that scoring in Europe was no joke and hence Daka needed to be saluted and that being ranked 13th deadliest striker in the same category as big names in Ronaldo and Messi was no mean achievement.

“What Patson has done needs to be applauded because 24 goals in a season is not easy. This boy today has been ranked as the 13th deadliest striker where Ronaldo and Messi are so we need to respect that,’’ Mweetwa said.

“If you look at this boy (Daka) two to three seasons ago used to be insulted but his mental strength is what has kept him going and today he is there scoring goals.

He is a strong lad and I for one I have so much respect for him,” Daka is on the hunt for a top scorer’s award in the Austrian league having now scored 24 goals and only second to RZ Pellets’s Shom Weissman who is three goals ahead.

Boxers cry for youth empowerment

By MICHAEL MIYOBA EXODUS Boxing Academy director Antony Mwamba has called on government to consider empowering athletes.

Mwamba who hailed the government for empowering youths and artists with financial assistance, said it must extend its empowerment programmess to sportsmen and women.

In an interview, Mwamba said, Mwamba like all youths in the country, boxers have also been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Mwamba said the pandemic has had a negative impact on boxers as they are not able to find income because of luck of boxing tournaments which remain halted in the country.

“I have seen the Minister of Sports donating a block making machine to the youth in Ndola and I head the government released K30 million for the artists but they are not doing much to empower youths in sports.

“Boxers are languishing at the moment because it is hard to find sponsors and the job we are doing some of us, we get kids from the streets to make them boxers but currently things are tough because now a boxer can’t make money because the only time a boxer can make money is when they fight,” Mwamba said.

“That money which is given to the youth is meant for all youths and we have a lot of youths who are engaged in sports and right now they are not doing fine because of the pandemic.”

Mwamba said there is need for Government to treat youths equally regardless of the sector they represent.

HE Ministry of Health has urged Super Division and National Division one clubs to strictly adhere to the guidelines provided by government to prevent Covid-19 cases from escalating when the local league resumes on July 18.

Ministry of Health expert Dr Raymond Hamonga said all semi contacts sports which have been allowed to resume next month risk being halted if the pandemic continues to escalate at a rapid scale when games resume.

He was speaking during the consultative meeting involving government, FAZ and Super Division clubs at Heroes Stadium in Lusaka yesterday.

Hamonga urged clubs to ensure that the sporting environments are assessed and certified by health inspectors to minimise the risk of those participating from getting infected

by Covid-19.

He noted that clubs which will not adhere to the guidelines provided risk being suspended from taking part in the games.

“In the event that we do get localised outbreaks in some areas, there will be need for us to restrict some of the activities that have been opened up already.

“If clubs do not adhere to the guidelines and get overwhelmed by localised outbreaks either in communities or camping houses that may lead to the league being suspended for lack of safety” Hamonga said Meanwhile, Ministry of Sports, Youth and Child Development director of sports, John Zulu urged clubs to follow the guidelines from the government to preserve lives.

FAZ president Andrew Kamanga said the association has engaged the authorities at every stage in ensuring that everything is done in conformity with the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health.

Kamanga urged lower division teams to exercise some patience as the association ENGLISH continue to engage the authorities because its desire is that all the leagues are decided on the pitch.
