Covid testing controversy erupts …SWABBING OR BLOOD TEST?

GBM, PF youths warn HH

By SILUMESI MALUMO HAKAINDE Hichilema must apologise to the President and the people of Zambia for his supporters’ behaviour towards President Edgar Lungu in Monze because if he doesn’t, things will not settle well for the UPND, Patriotic Front (PF) vice chairperson for mobilisation Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has warned.

And Shiwang’andu PF youths have warned Mr Hichilema that if he drives there, he will come back walking and he flies there, his plane will not land until he apologises.

COVID-19 mortalities may be higher in Zambia because private hospitals are recording false results.

This follows reports that some people who tested negative at private hospitals where blood samples were taken, turned out positive when swabbed at Government health facilities.

Reports suggest that some members of the same family tested negative to Covid-19 when blood samples were taken at a private hospital in Lusaka but tested positive when they were swabbed through the nose at Government hospitals. To Page 3

Brazil's President, tests positive for Covid-19 BRAZIL’S President Jair Bolsonaro, has tested positive for Covid-19, following months of downplaying the virus. Bolsonaro himself announced the result, speaking on Brazilian TV channels Tuesday.

"Everyone knew that it would reach a considerable part of the population sooner or later. It was positive for me," he said, referring to the Covid-19 test he took Monday.

MISSING INTEGRITY TEST WE are going in the wrong political direction.

Nursing and nurturing a broken political system that thrives on mob psychology instead of valuing political substance, let alone tenets of integrity and purposefulness will only lead this country into further political disarray.

What happened in Monze last week is typical of a broken political system.

An organised group of opposition youngsters was strategically positioned to boo and generally embarrass President Edgar Lungu while he was visiting the district.

This is exactly why we have opposed the establishment of the so-called Organisation of retired eminent persons, or OCIDA - Our Civic Duty organisation whose “number four” aim is to fund tribalism allegedly targeted against Tonga-Lozi and North-Westerners, which would seem to support their ethos.

They now find themselves in the invidious position we predicted.

Our political system that has produced this polarisation is truly dysfunctional and no amount of tinkering around it will cure the ills and if indeed we go into the 2021 elections with the same mindset the country can brace for more turmoil.

It has been said that societies whose political institutions are more inclusive and participatory tend to be more peaceful and resilient, just as societies practicing exclusion tend to be more vulnerable to fragility and conflict.

What we require and what we would have expected the retired eminent persons to undertake was an initiative in building bridges in the same manner that our Kenyan colleagues are endeavoring to build - an all-inclusive governance system.

A collection of bitter and angry people cannot be expected to provide the balance and equanimity, level headedness to win the trust of all players in brokering compromise and peace for the sake of national wellbeing.

Peace will not come by siding with any of the two opposing groups mainly because the substance of personal integrity and motivation of individual politicians is simply subsumed in the amorphous global interest of the group making it difficult to find compromise positions.

We have found it regrettable that both the Patriotic Front (PF) and United Party for National Development (UPND) have shot down the proposal for a coalition Government, which would have assured inclusiveness by default, in the event that none of the parties gained an outright majority.

We would have preferred a de facto electoral system that would have assured inclusiveness to reduce regional tensions and provide more focus on more important issues.

The propaganda and mantra around corruption, bad governance and indeed all manner of authority abuse will find a home in any opposition party. It is the staple of African and indeed Third World politics, where substantive issue of development are simply incidental to political activism.

Our eminent citizens should be promoting dialogue to build inclusiveness. Our present system does not provide for this. It provides for winner take all.

We can learn from countries that have grappled with exclusiveness, which are many. Some countries have devised unique means of ensuring governance systems that balance between representation and sound leadership that exudes integrity.

The existential danger we face is for crooks to rise to leadership on the shoulders of regionalism, an eventuality that is real.

ONGOING engagement between Government and Mopani Copper Mine should guarantee job security, National Union for Miners and Allied Workers (NUMAW) president, James Chansa has said.

Mr Chansa said it was prudent that Government expedited the discussions so that the matter could be settled for the best interest of the country.

Last week Mines and Mineral Development Permanent Secretary, Barnaby Mulenga, said discussions were being held between Government and Mopani on the decision to place operations on care and maintenance.

Mr Mulenga said the issues being discussed included failure by the mining firm to give contractors terms of the new contracts. But Mr Chansa said if Mopani would insist to place the mines under care and maintenance, then Government must repossess the mines. He said in an interview yesterday that Government should act in the best interest of miners and the country at large. “As a union we are ea-

panies like in Luanshya being put on care and maintenance and we saw how Zambians suffered,” he said.

Mr Chansa said if Mopani

would not manage the mines it was prudent for Government to repossess the assets and give them to a serious investor.

PF not shaken by opposition alliance - Mwila

By PETER SICHALI

THE PF is not shaken by the UPND and NDC alliance, Secretary-General Davies Mwila has said.

Mr Mwila said the alliance between NDC’s Chishimba Kambwili and Hakainde Hichilema of the UPND was deemed to fail because of the selfish interests inherent in the two leaders.

He said the two have their own narrow and selfish interests that would make the alliance impotent from the word go.

“Both opposition political party leaders are too selfish. You will recall that when they went into an alliance in Roan constituency, they differed immediately after the elections because Chishimba Kambwili started praising his party as if it was not helped by UPND and the two have

K2.5bn sugar project coming

By PETER SICHALI NATIONAL Sugar Corporation Limited will invest over K2.5 billion in 16 sugar sites across the country, targeting to create about 1.5 million jobs.

The company’s chief executive officer, Mr Edgar Ngoma said the project would include putting up plantations and a new city. He said each of the 16 projects were expected to create about 250, 000 jobs.

Dr Ngoma said the company would partner with a foreign investor who was expected in the country next month.

He said Chief Ishima in Zambezi has so far given 100, 000 hectares to the corporation for the sugar plantation and a city.

The project, would be spread across all the 10 provinces while each of the 16 sugar plantations would come with a city.

He said the project would take advantage of the available sugar market across the region to boost the local economy.

Dr Ngoma has thanked President Edgar Lungu and the PF government for its support.

He said also thanked traditional leaders in all the 10 provinces for giving the corporation land for sugar plantations and cities.

never been together since.

“Historically political alliances have not worked in Zambia and this one will not succeed because of selfish interests of their leaders,” Mr Mwila said.

He said it was impossible for the opposition to have one candidate because they all want to be presidents.

Mr Mwila said the PF was not shaken by the alliance of UPND and NDC because the ruling party had delivered to people’s expectations.

“We are very comfortable and we are ready to meet head on in next year’s general elections if their alliance succeeds which I doubt,” he said.

Meanwhile, PF Deputy Secretary-General, Mumbi Phiri said, it was unfair for anyone to suggest that PF was desperate to destroy the UPND /UPND alliance because it was not bothered by its forma-

tion.

Ms Phiri said the party was not bothered by the alliance of Mr Kambwili and Mr Hichilema because it is not a threat.

“Have you heard anyone from PF talking about that? We are not interested and we do not have time to waste on useless things. They can do whatever they want because we do not have time to waste over nothing.

“PF is not bothered so let them do whatever they want and we will not do anything because it’s not an issue to us,” Ms Phiri said.

Ms Phiri said it was wishful thinking for anyone to believe that the opposition alliance was popular enough to win next year’s general elections.

“How can something that is not bothering you not even for a second be a threat?”

Ms Phiri wondered.

‘Report illegal gold miners’

By SILUMESI MALUMO GOVERNMENT has encouraged whistle blowing for the security wings to flush out all illegal gold miners.

Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development Permanent Secretary, Barnaby Mulenga, said whistle blowing would help the security wings deployed in various gold areas to apprehend unscrupulous individuals who had resorted to engage in illegal mining.

Mr Mulenga said Government had ensured that security was enhanced in all gold mining but the areas were vast, therefore, the security wings cannot be everywhere and it was important that people reported any related activities.

He said in an interview recently, Government had identified gold as a strategic resource, therefore, it would ensure that it was protected from unscrupulous individuals.

Mr Mulenga said it was, therefore, important that the citizens helped Government by reporting all illegalities happening in the gold sites.

Mr Mulenga said people had taken advantage in areas where there was no enough security to illegally mine the resource but host communities were at liberty to inform the security wings so those involved face the wrath of the law.

Mr Mulenga said Government wanted the

Mr Mulenga resource to be mined in a well-structured manner so that the country can benefit significantly.

“We are aware of illegal activities involving our local people and foreigners and this is a very sad situation because the resource is being depleted by selfish individuals. But as Government we have not been idle on this matter we have ensured that security is tightened.

As you are aware the country has a number of gold sites and these areas are very vast, so the police cannot be everywhere.

We are encouraging our people especially those who are near the gold sites whenever they see illegal activities they are free to inform the police so that our resource can be protected,” Mr Mulenga said.

Covid testing controversy erupts From Page 1 The reports suggest that most Covid-19 tests in private hospitals were coming out negative even when a person is positive.

According to health experts, blood tests for the virus detects the body’s memory of having seen the virus while the swab test picks up molecules of the virus itself from the nose and throat while determining if one is still carrying the virus.

The Zambia National Public Health Institute (ZNPHI) however dispelled the reports, saying that both testing methods were acceptable.

ZNPHI director, Professor Victor Mukonka said it was incorrect to attribute the low number of Covid-19 cases recorded locally compared

By PETER SICHALI THE Office of the Auditor General should extend auditing to the use of Constituency Development Funds (CDF) following revelations that some opposition Members of Parliament have squandered money meant for development, PF official and former Mandevu secretary Lemmy Bwalya has said.

Mr Bwalya said reports that some MPs had misused CDF were unfortunate and that there was need for Government to audit utilisation of funds in all constituencies.

He said UPND MPs were afraid to use the funds prudently because credit for any development would go to the ruling party.

Mr Bwalya also said the MPs were afraid to choose credible leaders other than Hakainde Hakainde to take their party

to global trends to the use of wrong testing methods.

Prof Mukonka said in an interview that testing Covid-19 using blood samples was also recommended and not a wrong method.

He said that both swabbing through the nose and using blood samples were correct methods for testing for Covid-19.

“There is nothing wrong with testing using blood samples. Swabbing through the nose and using blood samples are all okay,” Prof Mukonka said.

By SILUMESI MALUMO LOAD SHEDDING will end in December this year as part of Zesco’s strategic plan on load management, company corporate affairs manager John Kunda has said.

Zambia Republic Party (ZRP) president, Wright Musoma warned that the prolonged load shedding might be a ploy to decampaign the government.

Mr Musoma said it was unacceptable to be having long hours of blackouts when the water levels had significantly improved at Lake Kariba Dam. Dr Kunda however in said in an interview that “recently Zesco Managing Director Victor Mundende launched the Weather Induced Power Deficit of 2019 (WIPOD 19) as a strategic crisis management tool which demonstrates a predictable agenda as we draw towards zero load shedding.”

And Mr Musoma said President Edgar Lungu must keep an eye on Zesco because the continued prolonged power outages is going to destroy his popularity and that of the party.

Mr Musoma said people were losing confidence in the ruling party because of this

LOAD SHEDDING ENDS DECEMBER - ZESCO

situation as their businesses were negatively affected.

Mr Musoma said President Lungu should know that people can use Zesco which was a strategic institution to de-campaign him.

He said the long hours of power outages were very worrying and something must be done to save popularity of the party and the Head of State.

“I want to begin to say that we want to advise the PF government to keep its eye on Zesco otherwise not doing that is likely to spell doom. Going by the kind of load shedding we are experiencing is very worrying. Zesco can be one institution that can be used to destroy Government and its people. People who are against Government can use Zesco to create artificial outage in places where the ruling party

enjoys massive support. So as ZRP we are very concerned with these kind of outages because they are even more than we experienced when water levels were too low.

“We are not saying that Kariba dam is full according to engineers they have explained but load shedding going even up to 10 hours on daily basis is very unacceptable,” Mr Musoma said.

He said it was prudent that investigations were instituted to find out why such was happening because if this continued President Lungu would lose the trust of the Zambian people.

He said power outage must be normal at least for four hours but not the kind of load shedding the country was facing.

Mr Musoma said he was receiving a lot of reports from people complaining about

the abnormal power outages hence the need for the Head of State to pay attention on the matter.

And Dr Kunda the load management plan was structured that in level six in the month of April load shedding would be 20 to 24 hours, level five month of May and June 16 to 20 hours, level four month of July12 to 16 hours, and level three month of August 8 to 12 hours.

He further said level two in month of September and October load shedding would be 4 to 8 hours, level 1 in the month November it would be 1 to 4 Hours and December there would be zero load shedding.

“That is how load shedding is predicted to go down. Plan accordingly. We are in level 3 of load management. Remember we are not yet out of the crisis,” he said.

Audit CDF, Auditor General urged to another level because they were scared he would take them to task over the misused CDF. He said it was sad that the money that should have been used to better the lives of people in their constituencies are being used to fund the party activities leaving constituents suffering without hospitals, Schools, roads among others.

“Electorates in Southern Province will continue crying for developments until they will wake up and demand for accountability from their MPs on the utilisation of CDF. “It is sad to see people especially, the youths being paraded by the road sides to disrespect President Edgar Lungu in Monze instead of asking their MPs where they

have taken the CDF,” he said.

Mr Bwalya said Government should hold MPs both from the ruling and opposition parties to account for CDF. He said Government should allow the auditor general to extend its nets towards the use of CDF funds.

And Mr Bwalya said it was irresponsible for UPND and its leader Hakainde Hichilema to continue denting the Country’s image through lies and unwarranted corruption accusations.

Mr Bwalya said lies by UPND has potential to erode investor confidence in the country.

By PETER SICHALI NO amount of lies by UPND president Hakainde Hichilema and his alliance partner Chishimba Kambwili will stop Zambians from voting for PF and President Edgar Lungu in next year’s general elections, PF Muchinga Province chairperson Alex Simuwelu has said.

Mr Simuwelu said Mr Hichilema and Mr Kambwili have no chance of forming Government next year because PF has delivered development.

He said calculated lies from the two opposition leaders would not change the positive mood among Zambians.

Mr Simuwelu said it was

delusional for Mr Hichilema to think that the NDC leader will help him form Government.

He said it was unfortunate that UPND had run out of ideas and resorted to lies, misinformation and propaganda as a launch-pad to win elections next year.

Mr Simuwelu said the party had embarked on unprecedented development across the country and Muchinga had received its fair share of growth He said the PF Government has performed better than UNIP and MMD in the nine years it has been office. Mr Simuwelu said Zambians were resolved to rally behind President Lungu and that no amount of lies and propaganda would stop them supporting PF.

as a corrupt Nation to outsiders, where money for developments should have come from,” Mr Bwalya said.

“There is no way one can claim to love the nation, when out of many things, you can only choose to scare investors, who should have come with a relief to benefit even those people, whose affairs you would wish to preside over,” Mr Bwalya said.

He said Mr Hichilema and UPND will not form Government with or without Bill 10 because Zambians support the PF government and President Edgar Lungu.

Mr Bwalya said Zambians are deprived of democratic benefits, as the opposition political parties do not understand their role.

‘HH MUST APOLOGISE TO LUNGU’

DNA Spokesperson Spuki Mulemwa said it was disappointing that some senior UPND leader had justified cadres disrespectful

behavior against the head of State.

"We call upon Mr Hichilema to apologise to President Edgar Lungu and Zambians people for his cadres barbaric behavior failure to which Zambians will shut UPND in all parts of the country,"Mr Mulemwa said.

Mr Mulemwa said President Lungu as head of State deserves respect from all Zambians regardless of their political or religious affiliation.

Mr Mulemwa said the behavior of UPND cadres in Monze against President Edgar Lungu was barbaric and should be condemned by all peace loving Citizens.

‘Bring back externalised funds’

By SILUMESI MALUMO

PEOPLE who have externalised funds in offshore accounts must retrieve them and invest in the country to improve the economy, the Christian Democratic Party (CDP) has said.

CDP president, Danny Pule, said those who had externalised funds did not have heart for the people because they were enriching other countries at the expense of their own.

Dr Pule, who is also former Finance Deputy Minister, wondered how some individuals and companies could take the money out of the country which was needed to improve the economy.

He said in an interview yesterday that those who had their money in offshore accounts must re-think and retrieve it so that people of Zambia could benefit.

“Those people who have externalised money into foreign banks don’t have the interest of the country at heart, if they like this country they should invest here, they should keep money in Zambian banks.

“They is no requirement that any company to succeed they should bank in the foreign country. And the other thing is that Government must investigate them to find out whether they actually paid tax,” he said.

He said it was wrong especially for companies which were getting money from the Zambians to invest it in foreign countries.

“Some people and companies can invest in foreign countries in order to evade tax. So if they are involved in such Government must ensure that they charge them for evading tax,” Dr Pule said.

He said that there was need for people to show confidence in the domestic economy and invest their money in the country.

Sean Tembo mocks UPND

By OLIVER SAMBOKO

I

T'S laughable for UPND president Hakainde Hichilema to claim that if he forms Government, he will fight political violence when he is surrounded by evil people like William Banda who is a known political vagabond who is associated with violence dating back to MMD rule, Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) has said.

PeP leader, Sean Tembo explained that he left the political alliance because his views were different from others such as people who had served in government and were doing wrong thins but now wanted to appear holier. “There are leaders who were in government and were busy closing Muvi TV, Komboni radio but now that they were kicked out of government, want to pretend that they are better,� Mr Tembo said.

Mr Tembo also said it was going to depend on what measures the Electoral Commission of Zambia l(ECZ) has put in place.

Mr Tembo also said those demanding that the Department National Registration should do continuous mobile registration should be realistic. He said it was important for the country to safeguard and ensure that Foreigners do not advantage of the registration process.

Mr Tembo also said that that it was for painfully wrong for Copperbelt Province Minister Bowman Lusambo to incite the PF in the province to force Mr Hichilema to come forward.

Mr Tembo also demanded that Dr Chilifya Chitalu resign or be suspended from his ministerial position until his cases are disposed. He said by virtue of Dr Chilifya being in office, the investigations would be compromised.

And several callers to the programme condemned the behavior of UPND supporters who booed President Edgar Lungu when he visited Southern Province.

The callers said it was wrong for the UPND to hire people to boo the President.

He said he doesn't hate President Edgar Lungu but has issues with the manner Government was dealing with national affairs.

THE BIG TREE HAS FALLEN

By DICKSON JERE

“

THIS woman was feared. She could ponta...” was one of the messages on my page yesterday. But that message aptly describe only one side of Mama Flava Musonda Musakanya or “FMM.” She was a Lioness in actual sense! But at same time gentle and welcoming.

And so, some 20 years ago, I was summoned to meet her as a young suitor for an “assessment” if I had the right pedigree. I was warned to expect trouble at the meeting set for 15:00 hours at her New Kasama mansion.

“She will be tough on you...” I was forewarned and advised to remain calm as that was not her true character. She liked to come out strong but she was motherly when you get to know her.

After a few Vodka shots, my buddy Emmanuel Tembo (ET) whispered to me “Mwenso ninfwa baba...” or simply don’t be scared.

He urged me on!

In a battered blue Mazda station-wagon, we arrived for the meeting. The supposedly fierce woman was seated on the veranda sipping a glass of red wine.

Having dispensed with the usual introduction formalities, we went into discussing politics and the economy of Zambia. Nothing about my background or “interrogations” on my persona. After an hour, she took us on a tour of the mansion.

“Where do you see yourself 20 years from now...” she posed a question as she ushered us in a chapel - only house I ever visited with such a holy room.

I muttered some words which I cannot remember.

But, I was later told, my answer was exactly what

• Sarah Guenet Banda : Mama was a phenomenal woman, almost legend like.

• Chucky Jere: May her sweet soul rest in peace!

• Kabinga Pande : Deepest condolences and you have written a beautiful eulogy DJ. MHSRIP. • Nancy Prisháàn's Mum: A beautiful eulogy right there. Mhsrip⚘ • Kumbukilani Condolences.

Phiri:

• Emrys Kuyokwa: Dickson Jere This is a beautiful write-up. So insightful! … See More Dickson Jere with Mama Flava Musonda Musakanya

she wanted to hear. We became very close onwards and addressed each other

as “sweetheart.”

FMM was the first to go to person for unbiased advice on matters of life. She had lived it and seen it. She understood politics and was well connected to the power system in Zambia.

Equally, she had an influential silent role in the Catholic Church.

“Never fight the Catholics...,” she once advised me when I worked as State House spokesman.

“They are well organised and cannot easily be defeated,” she said.

Having been married to a prolific civil servant, late Valentine Musakanya, who once served as Zambia’s Secretary to Cabinet, she understood the system. She also survived the one-party state machinery after her husband was arrested and jailed for his role in the 1980 foiled coup.

“I used to be followed all over by the intelligence,” she would say.

Her business acumen was next to none. At over 90 years, she was active in farming. She had a chain of projects going on. We discussed a lot. She had an interest in Honda Zambia and Honda Farms. Her eggs supply business into the Congo. And the trucks!

But she always complained about the predatory banking system in Zambia which does not support entrepreneurship.

“Never get a loan from Zambian banks unless you really need it. You end up working for the bank,” she once told me when she abruptly appeared at my Chambers.

Simply put, she groomed

me well. She was one of the few giants whose shoulders I stood on. Quite early in my life, she taught me on “how to handle money” lessons.

“It come and goes...” she said, adding that one must always plan for the dry spell.

She also advised me never to build huge mansions - like she did - as it always turn into a ghost house as children leave when they grow up. ”You will live alone with plenty workers.,” she advised me, as she chuckled.

Difficult to rent out such a house - with a chapel!

Go well Sweetheart. Go well Mama. Go well FMM... my confidante!

Receipts, tax invoices a must - ZRA

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU FAILURE to issue a receipt or tax invoice is a serious offence that attracts huge fines, Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has warned.

ZRA Corporate Communications Manager, Topsy Sikalinda, said it was unfortunate that despite the law requiring that businesses especially those registered for Value Added Tax (VAT) must always issue fiscal receipts after every business transaction, the compliance level was still very low.

He said in an interview that it was only through the receipts that money paid in taxes would be accounted for and remitted to the Government.

Without a receipt being obtained, Mr Sikalinda said, a business could manipulate the entire sales transaction and evade taxes.

He said it was therefore a serious offence not to issue a receipt or tax invoice by any business.

“No business would love to risk and get penalised with a huge amount on a simple mistake either with intent to defraud the state of the tax revenue or purely out of negligence.” Mr Sikalinda said.

He indicated that the advantages of issuing receipts to a business were vast and among them was improved compliance and reduction in

pilferage by employees.

The business, Mr Sikalinda said, also avoided penalties arising from non-issuance of receipts from the tax authority.

He said the culture of receipt issuance has to be internalized by every business and organisation.

Mr Sikalinda encouraged customers to always demand for a receipt whenever they bought any item.

He explained that demanding for receipts helped the government and the tax authority to collect the correct taxes on behalf of the Zambian people.

“As citizens, when we fail to demand for a receipt after purchasing goods or services, then we fail our country and ourselves.

“We ultimately deprive ourselves the much-needed resources required by the government to be used in various economic development activities and programmes such as infrastructure, education, health just to mention a few,” Mr Sikalinda said.

SHORT-TERM DEBT INSTRUMENT VITAL

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

F

INANCIAL institutions and other stakeholders such as the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) should come up with a framework that allows secondary markets pricing as a way of encouraging selling of corporate paper.

Corporate paper is a shortterm debt instrument issued by companies to raise funds generally for a time period up to one year.

“If corporate paper can be priced the same way that the Government paper is priced in the secondary markets, then one could get that uptake in corporate paper in trading,” says Stanbic Bank Zambia Regional Debt Capital Markets

Manager, Pascal Mwila.

He was speaking recently during the Stanbic Bank Zambia-Anakazi Banking Online Conversation episode eight.

“I think all the players in the capital markets, including to a certain extent, the insurance companies which hold government paper should come together and be willing to not only issue paper but to sell and buy paper for corporates,” Mr Mwila said.

Mr Mwila proposed the introduction of the framework where both the corporate paper and Government securities-treasury bills and bonds were both pegged at the same prices, leading to the low update of corporate paper.

“There has been a lot of focus on equity when thinking

of the stock exchange and very little focus on debt and if you look at it from global perspective, the debt market is usually very much larger than the listed equity market, but in Zambia it is inverse.

“With that in mind, I have often thought that perhaps, apart from the primary markets issues of what price you can issue debt at because everything is pegged to Government security, there is always the secondary market lack of liquidity in debt, whereas historically you can go a whole year without having a secondary market trade in any listed debt,” he said.

SEC Chief Executive Officer, Phillip Chitalu, said the issuance of debt instruments on the capital market had been

AMBIA at 56 years of age is not such a young country anymore. If she was a person of that age, she would have children of age ranging from the teens to early thirties.

Children in the prime of their youth. What would she have done to prepare for the life of these youth? That is the question we need to look into as we grapple with the notion of Zambia leveraging the youth dividend.

The 56-year old parent would have strived to make sure that her children did not only get a decent education, but that such education was relevant for their employability. The same ought to be true of Zambia as a country with her youthful population of median age under 17 years and the proportion of the population below 24 years of age being more than 65%. What has Zambia done to prepare for the absorption of this youthful population into economic activities? With unemployment high in the 15 to 24 years age category, Zambia ought to have done more to ensure a greater absorptive capacity of the youth in her economy.

There are many aspects to the situation we find ourselves in. And unlike for a parent who can most probably only look at the supply side, the country has to look at both sides of the equation.

On the demand side, I keep going back to this aspect. The Zambian economy is predominantly structured for the primary extraction of raw materials to feed other industrialising economies. The classical

Leveraging the Youth Dividend structural development path of economies is to go from low skill and low productivity to high skill and high productivity. It is to use resource endowments and comparative advantage as a starting basis for the country’s economy and develop into competitive advantage.

It has been such structural transformation of economies that have ensured that unemployment among the youth is kept low. China is a good example of a country with hundreds of millions of youths with a very low unemployment rate among them as a result of the economic transformations the country has been pursuing over the last 40 to 50 years. The same is true of South Korea.

It should therefore come as no surprise that as a country, our economy’s absorptive capacity for the youth is low since it has not undergone much transformation over the last 40 to 50 years. We should by now be an industrialising country that absorbs as much of its raw materials as possible in its in-

dustrial production. It ought to have been a natural evolution path of the structural transformation of our economy.

The truth of the current reality of our economy is therefore that it is not structured to absorb high numbers of youth into the productive sector. This is not the fault of the youth. And to keep reprimanding them and demanding that they go and start their own

businesses or entrepreneurial activities is not being realistic.

While a few youths may indeed capture headlines with an innovation here or there, the fact is that the youth are naturally the most inexperienced members of the active population and indeed, many a financing entity is very unlikely to finance their entrepreneurial attempts. And if they did, they would need to brace themselves for very high failure rates.

Thus, the impetus for the absorption of the youth into the economic activities of the country should primarily come from the demand side.

And it is not too late to start embarking upon the structural transformation of our economy. Or put another way, we have no option as an economy but to embark upon this structural transformation for the youth to be a dividend and not a threat.

Apart from the economic transformation required on the demand side, there is also need to invest in activities that

can quickly absorb the youth into the economy. The Arts and Sport are examples of such activities that can quickly be developed and in not time absorb many youths. This would also be an instance of responding to the dictates of a youthful population since they would be both the players and consumers.

But other areas for the economy to venture into would also require transformations on the supply side. With literacy levels among the youth being generally high and penetra-

affected by the performance of Government bonds and treasury bills.

Mr Chitalu said capital markets should be for the long term and that pegging it against the Treasury bills did not do justice to the economy.

He, however mentioned that one would understand why the markets had adopted such a short-term view for reasons such as the current exchange and inflation rates.

“With yields above 25 percent, then that means a private person trying to raise money has to beat Government to more than that rate and the market has this tendency of pegging issuances to the treasury bills which is a short-term view of capital market,” Mr Chitalu said.

tion of technology not so low, software development, both in terms of applications for mobile devices as well as for enterprise software is an area that can be pursued to absorb the youth. However, this would require significant transformation of curricula development.

It would not be farfetched to hazard a thought that our curricula are more suited to the old untransformed economy, since that is what we live with anyway. There is need for curricula development to be dynamic and reflect the skills among the youth that are relevant for taking the economy into the future.

With current global emphasis on sustainability, there are other areas of economic activities that are opening up that are more likely to be easier for the youth to integrate into.

Clean and green energy, re-use and recycling of materials are examples of such. There are for instance opportunities to address the deforestation due to consumption of charcoal and substitute that with a more sustainable energy source.

And such sources could include generation of natural gas from solid waste for use in applications such as cooking, etc.

This is an example of “new economic activities” that would be more suited to a youthful population not steeped in tradition and culture, both to work in as well as being consumers.

Indeed, our youths are more than ripe to be leveraged as a dividend for our economy, but the onus lies on the custodians of the economy, and not on the youth, to drive this.

HARARE - Zimbabwe can significantly narrow its debt if the country manages its vast natural resources in a more sustainable manner, experts have said.

The country is saddled with an unsustainable debt, which has negative effects on the economy and citizens.

This has now been worsened by the obtaining Covid-19 pandemic, which has affected economies across the globe and is expected to cause further damages to an already constrained economy battling with foreign currency shortages, poor utilities supplies and waning disposable incomes due to high inflation.

In a study titled Domestic Resource Mobilisation and the Quest for Sustainable Alternative, Dr Gorden Moyo, a lecturer at the Lupane State University and former State Enterprise Minister, highlighted the need for urgent strategy for resource mobilisation for the country to deal with its fiscal deficits and debt burden.

He said the country has been in a “debilitating debt trap” for decades now, despite being endowed with vast natural resources that can be harnessed towards its growth and turnaround.

“A cursory analysis of the natural capital in Zimbabwe including its mineral resources stocks, wildlife, forestry, fisheries and arable land among others suggest that the country’s resources are enough to finance its own development if the mindsets, conditions,

Japan’s household spending slumps at record rate

JAPAN’S household spending has slumped at a record pace as measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus kept people at home.

Government figures show household spending dropped by 16.2% in May from a year earlier.

The worse than expected fall was the fastest rate of decline since comparable data began in 2001.

The figures serve as another indication of how hard the pandemic has hit the world’s third largest economy.

The data showed big drops in spending on hotels, transport and eating out. Goods that saw an increase in spending included meat, alcohol and face masks.

Economists expect a recovery in spending to be slow and fragile as consumers remain reluctant to loosen the purse strings even after a nationwide state of emergency was lifted in May. The outlook for household spending in the months ahead also remains weak as job losses are expected to rise. Meanwhile, Japan’s real wages dropped at the fastest pace in nearly five years, in a sign of how the virus is impacting the jobs market.

Real wages, a gauge of household spending power, fell by 2.1% in May from a year earlier, the steepest pace of decline since June 2015.

“The impact from the coronavirus led to a reduction in overtime pay which caused real wages to fall a lot,” a labour ministry official said. - BBC

billion tonnes of iron ore, 5.2 million tonnes of copper and 765 billion cubic metres of coal bed methane.

Dr Moyo said, with this natural wealth, the country could harness it for development without overly “relying on erratic external flows.”

This, he added, could only

be achieved with political will, while also taking a leaf from regional peers such as Botswana and Angola that embraced sustainable domestic resource mobilisation for their development. The study was released at an online platform hosted by the Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development.

It also recommended Government to fully implement the principles and values of the African Mining Vision (AMV) which include maximising and management of tax revenues in the mining sector. Apart from allowing countries to fully benefit from their natural resources, the AMV also emphasises on transparency on transactions between mining companies and governments.

The country is also working on an ambitious US$12 billion revenue mining sector by 2023.

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.

Social media versus grassroot politics

Dear Editor, ALTHOUGH we are migrating from the physical to digital space, the physical way of living will not completely wither away. The digital age has come to supplement and not replace our conventional way of living.

The same can be said on the political space. The Patriotic Front has the competitive advantage over the opposition owing to its ability to connect with the grassroots in good and bad times.

The opposition have completely given up on dealing with the physical space and have substituted it with imaginary and unverified members who loiter on the digital space.

Although they do not admit this fact, the source of despondency in the opposition camp is their absolute reliance on fictions that are posted online.

During 2016, then pro-UPND Muvi TV conducted a sham of the well censored opinion poll with the outcome putting the perpetual political loser ahead of the ruling party with a brutal margin.

Even the pro-UPND propaganda online platforms such as Koswe, Zambian Watchdog, Hakahinde Hichilema (the official Facebook page for the five-time losing Presidential candidate Hakainde Hichilema) have all blocked perceived PF sympathisers.

This by implication will create an impression that the PF has lost popularity when in actual sense the same are deliberate acts of the opposition to manipulate the public.

Besides that, the PF has continued to cleanse itself by holding transparent elections. This gives the ordinary people the sense of ownership by connecting itself to the grassroots.

This is not the case with selfproclaimed democrats who have continued to handpick party officials starting from the position of cadre up to vice president. These are realities which had delineated UPND and relegate it to the level of a tribal grouping.

Further, even the perceived alliances only exist in Lusaka and they are not reflecting on the ground. There was no proper consultation done by the members of UPND/NDC dominated alliance. While they are talking about legitimacy of the constitution, they have associated themselves to the illegitimate alliance.

To make matters worse, the alliance has started crumbling before they could formalise it. A number of prominent citizens have pulled out of the alliance after realising that HH was using them to launder his tribal tag. Both the UPND and NDC have witnessed high ranking defections, an indication that the PF is a party of mass movement.

Even their claimed ideology does not reflect grassroots politics. I can use the political necessities of the people of Nyika ward in Petauke as one of the reference cases that the PF is a grassroots party as compared to UPND. The PF has decentralised its political activities while the opposition exist only on paper. The UPND has lacked consistency and have created a lot of alliances to satisfy HH’S political hunger. As we approach the elections, we are seeing the UPND composing songs about rigging which will be released toward elections.

Let me also condemn the recent tribal remarks against the Namwanga people by HH on his Facebook page through an innuendo “beans.”

It is a fact that beans is the scared traditional dish for the Namwanga people therefore mocking them by a person wishing to be President is unacceptable.

Lastly, in a democracy, the leaders should be ready to accept defeat and this should start by respecting the democratically elected government.

Jack Mwiimbu, Gary Nkombo: An embarrassment

REBRANDED OPPOSITION MESSAGE Dear Editor,

MANY people have failed to understand that youths are being used as an unwitting prop to rebrand the opposition message. Apart from the traditional accusations of corruption, a youth cause is now being presented as a rallying call for regime change.

The Michael Zulus and Pilatos of this world are being used to give the campaign a face which people can recognise and hopefully generate sympathies with, although they are hardly youths themselves.

This is called rebranding a message.

This is a very well planned and focused campaign that is designed to remove and hide the true originators of the message thereby removing the political party tag.

By removing party affiliation, the message is more focused and therefore appealing to the audience. In this case the youth have been identified as the originating population group, which is not true.

This kind of campaigning has worked in many political settings where professional strategists study a population make up and strike a very clear and resonant message that is effective in shaping opinions especially during election time.

The argument that many youths are unemployed is very true, but it is not unique to Zambia. The situation is just as bad in all developing countries because of their inability to grow the economy at the same pace as the population increase.

The problem is not just unemployment, it also involves under-employment of the traditional labour as reflected in peasant agriculture in which the majority of Zambians are Dear Editor, I WOULD like to appeal to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to avoid listening to voices of obstruction and concentrate on preparing and delivering the 2021 General Elections within the timelines set in the constitution.

Next year’s elections will be held on Thursday, August 12, 2021, which is the second Thursday of August, according to the constitution. This means that effective August 12, 2020, it will be exactly 12 months to the date of the elections and ECZ has to complete all the preparations and deliver the elections on August 12,

engaged.

The problem of underdevelopment can be traced to the poor use of human capital which is engaged in very menial but back breaking tasks, while the same operations have been mechanised in the more advanced countries.

What is also interesting is that if you examine the so called youth complaints closely, you will find the same message as the one raised by the newly established group of retired people. Their aim is to appeal at the soft parts of governance, particularly at this time when the economic situation has become very difficult.

With people losing jobs as a result of Covid-19, the situation is bound to become much harder and the blame will fall on the government. We are fortunate that a complete lockdown was not enforced otherwise the situation would have been worse.

If anything, the government should be praised for the very well managed Covid-19 response which combined consideration for health and economic interests.

Many countries that went for very hard lock downs, such as South Africa may have delayed the disease spread but have not been spared the effects with many deaths now exceeding 3, ,000. They also have among the highest infection rate on the African continent.

My appeal to the government is not to relent in making difficult decisions if they are in the interest of the country.

Difficult times require difficult decisions otherwise if all decisions are influenced by political appeasement the result will be calamity.

EDMOND HARA.

Dear Editor, IT is nauseating that senior UPND Members ofPparliament, that is the cantankerous Monze Central MP Jack Mwiimbu and his counterpart Mazabuka MP Garry Nkombo could not hide their usual antagonistic behaviour befitting notorious secondary schoolboys when they were supposed to be part of the president’s programme of development when he visited the two districts to hand over the police houses built by the government.

As if shunning the president’s programme was not enough, Ba Jack Mwiimbu at his age went ahead and mobilised youths in Monze to boo the president at high cost at the expense of empowering the youths in his constituency. What is wrong with the people of Monze Central?

This is the man that has been their MP for more the 15 years without anything to write home about his achievement and they tolerated him? People of Monze Central should demand sobriety from their MP. He needs to start aligning development programmes for Monze with those of Government.

Don’t UPND MPs understand their role? The people of Monze should stop and reflect. If at all they need development, its high time they began to work with the PF government, depending on their inept MPs of their tribe is retrogressive.

When it comes to leadership and development, the tribe should not be a factor. Look at the real leader, President Edgar Lungu has spread development to every part of the country even in hostile regions like Southern Province, doesn’t that ring a bell of the model leader that a united country like Zambia deserves? Politics of names are long gone. Service to the people of Zambia is more important than the alignment of the party to spent force names. UPND can gain more if they listen to the majority of Zambians on many national issues including On Bill 10 than identifying with finished clergy and politicians such as Telesphore Mpundu, Simon Zukas, Lesley Mbula, John Sangwa and others like them with an ulterior motive.

Zambians can do better, these names have lost value in the current political order of politics of development. What happened in Monze last Saturday should not repeat itself, if it does, the police should ensure that they increase some force a little more. President Edgar Lungu deserveS respect.

ENOCK KAPITOLO CHULU, Lusaka.

Delivery of the 2021 general elections 2021. If the elections are not held on the date set in the constitution, holding the elections on any other date after the set date in the law, will be illegal and will plunge the country into a constitutional crisis, because the results of such an election is likely to be nullified by the Court, in the event of a petition.

The nation will recall what happened to the Presidential election petition after the 2016 elections. The Constitutional Court dismissed the petition after the lapse of the 14 days enshrined in the

law, in which to hear a petition.

It was the court’s position that continued hearing of the petition after the lapse of the 14 days was illegal.

The same will be true for elections held after the date set in the law.

The need to deliver the elections on August 12, 2021, is a must on the part of the ECZ, because the constitution has no caveat which allows elections to be held on any other date, other than the date set in the law. To those fellow Zambians who believe in doing things at the last minute, please note that

time is not in our favour. Let’s go and register as voters from day one when the exercise opens. The same is true for those who will be obtaining NRCS. To the ECZ, my appeal is that please allocate more hours during the 30 days voter registration exercise so that you can meet your targeted number. My proposal is that the registration centres should open at 06:00 hours and close at 19 hours every day, including weekends and public holidays.

BE INNOVATIVE, YOUTHS URGED

By ROGERS KALERO

Y

OUTHS must prove that they are hard-working and innovative citizens with the ability to properly utilise opportunities, Patriotic Front (PF) Buntungwa ward Youth Secretary Sunday Kaluba has said.

Mr Kaluba said in Kitwe yesterday that responsible political parties should not use youths in illegal protests, but must spell out plans for youth empowerment.

"In this time and era, youths should not be used as tools of political violence, but should be helped to be empowered in various ways.

President Edgar Lungu has come out with some package to support the youthful artists,'' Mr Kaluba said Mr Kaluba advised youths to desist from depending on handouts, but learn to be hard workers who woulf be self-reliant so that they were not used to pursue political ambitions of desperate politicians.

"In life, if you depend on

hand-outs and you are not a hard worker, people will not have respect for you. You will continue to lose the confidence of the public. In this case, any one will use you to do the Donkey work,” he said.

He said Government has always been supportive and, in some areas,, things were moving in a right direction "As Copperbelt youths, we don't stage protests to pursue political ambitions of desperate, frustrated and bitter opposition politicians, but we fight for ourselves. Because govern-

Mr Kanisho indicated that three boreholes had been completed by the MP after being abandoned for over two years.

Mr Kanisho said the ward had a number of challenges ranging from sanitation and waste management to inadequate water sources.

Please remember that this story is not only for people with a ‘lot of money’, but it is also for everyone who earns money either through a salary or a business. It is about managing whatever money comes your way. If you cant manage ‘little money’ well then you can’t equally manage ‘a lot of money’.

Worry Is Worry… Choose To Worry Differently, Saving And Sound Money Management Is The Way Dear Reader,

Maria Karima

Head - Corporate Affairs & Marketing Investrust Bank Plc

We trust that you and your wonderful family are all well and that you are keeping safe as we continue to mitigate the spread and impact of COVID – 19. The impact of the pandemic has been felt by many people either at an individual or organisational levels. This begs the question, ‘what sort of impact have people experienced?’. While the impact can be deemed to be mostly negative, it has also been positive! ‘Such irony’, you must be thinking. We have seen some businesses and individuals turning around their fortunes for the better during this period. This is a sure story of turning lemons into lemonade, a time of being creative and innovative by grabbing the opportunities that the pandemic presents that can help us to better our output in whatever we do.

This brings us back to the story of the day, which is about reminding you to look out for ‘you’ and your loved ones during and beyond this period. What are you doing to ensure that you better the quality of life for you and your loved ones regarding securing yours and their future? How well are you managing your finances? What

Our last two stories focused on what you ought to look out for as you identify opportunities in your budget that you can transform from taking care of WANTS to taking care of NEEDS and how you can capitalise on these to increase on your SAVINGS. In today’s story, we go further by reminding you about the basics that you should always keep in mind and live by as you walk the path of attaining financial freedom.

Human Before Anything Else Sharing today’s story reminds us of the handover ceremony of our sponsorship to Mubiana Sinyinda, a student at the Copperbelt University, (‘Mongu Rice’ young man) aimed at supporting his rice business and school upkeep. At the event, Investrust Bank Plc (IBP) Managing Director and CEO, Mr Simangolwa Shakalima said something very profound. He mentioned that before anything else before we are employees of a Bank, and before we are a business entity engaged in the banking business, we are human beings. This, he said, comes with responsibility. The responsibility means that we have to do something within our power to make life better for people in communities in which we serve. He also added that we have to be deliberate and intentional about it. At IBP, we take this ‘role’ very seriously. We support enhancement efforts in health, education and entrepreneurship. Alongside this agenda, we are also actively involved in Financial Literacy education because we believe that financially fit citizens help to

of the majority.

Mr Kanisho indicated that the presence of the functional boreholes would promote sanitation in the rural part of the Copperbelt.

He, therefore, appealed to the locals in his ward to guard the newly-sunk boreholes jealously and not vandalise them.

Mr Kanisho said the boreholes needed safeguarding as water was an essential commodity which had come at high cost.

build a nation economically. We join other stakeholders who include our regulator the Bank of Zambia (BOZ)/other regulators as well as other financial institutions in ensuring that Zambia attains its intended goals in the Financial Inclusion agenda.

Financial education makes an important part of this agenda.

Back To Basics - Tips Please remember that attaining financial freedom is solely dependent on you and the decisions you make regarding money.

You have to be intentional, disciplined and committed about it: Set Your Priorities Right: start by prioritising savings so that eventually you will have saved enough to invest. Remember that it is not about how much money you make; it is more about how much money you keep.

There are no short cuts to wealth creation.

Save, Save and Save! Remember the 50 30 20 golden rule of managing money?

Always ensure that you put aside 20% of your income (salary or otherwise) as savings, pay yourself first.

Keep Away From Overspending: the only way you can track how much you spend is through using a budget. Always plan how you are going to spend your money. Please note that the success of a budget depends on how disciplined you are regarding sticking to it. The rule here is that you simply do not spend outside your budget.

Remember that Money Management is more behavioural than it is a skill! Develop tough ‘skin’ about how you control your spend. Don’t be ‘silly’ with money.

Live Within Your Means: this is so straight forward – don’t spend more than you earn.

If you do, you are setting yourself up for financial failure and disaster.

Borrow Wisely: keep away from irresponsible borrowing. Do not borrow to support your lifestyle or to spend on things that do not add value to your life and that of your loved ones. Do not borrow to spend on things that you WANT but rather on things that

FOREIGN nationals trading in high density areas have requested the Kitwe City Council for more time to relocate to the Central Business District (CBD).

This follows numerous complaints by local traders that foreign traders were crowding them out in businesses in the township.

Kitwe Mayor Christopher Kang'ombe on Monday held a consultative meeting with the foreign traders with the view to relocating them to town centre and shopping malls as per council resolution C 23/01/2019.

Republican Vice President Inonge Wina gave guidance early this year about chain stores not to entrench themselves in high-density areas such as compounds as they expand their businesses.

The Vice-President said chain stores and other bigger business establishments were taking over businesses of marketeers, local grocery stores, family business and enterprising Zambians who could compete with them.

Mr Kang’ombe explained that the council was not against foreign investment, but was merely implementing a resolution to protect local business entities in the townships, which were being crowded out by bigger entities in foreign hands.

"We recognise the role foreign direct investment plays in stimulating economic activities in Zambia and my office stands ready to support investments that will create jobs for Zambians," Mr Kang'ombe said.

you NEED! Always ensure that what you earn determines the kind of lifestyle you live and not vice-versa.

Control And Manage Your ‘Support Fund’: whereas it is great to help members of your family/friends who need your support, it is also important that you really keep such spend in check and balanced. When you leave this unchecked, your savings will never grow.

Keep Away From Bad Behaviour/Vices: like stated earlier, please stop being/acting silly with money, respect money! Stop bad habits such as gambling or careless spending because these are sure distractors of wealth creation.

Knowledge Is Power: financial knowledge is very critical in helping you attain your financial goals/freedom. Equip yourself with necessary and relevant financial knowledge. Read books and never be shy to learn from experts. Ask and ensure you understand money technicalities, especially when it comes to investing. Learn, learn and learn and keep at it. This brings us to the point of making bad financial decisions; please seek help where you are not sure about anything. Talk to people who have made it in this aspect of life, tap into their knowledge and be a ‘reservoir’ of knowledge that others can tap into as well once you become a guru! Yes, the experience is the best teacher but note that it need not be yours, you can learn from other peoples’ experiences, be open-minded.

Be Smart – Prepare For A Rainy Day: always ensure that you have an emergency fund.

Life throws the unexpected at us when we least expect it. Such eventualities range from illnesses/accidents that could affect our ability to earn income to loss of jobs.

To cushion this, it is advisable that you set aside money that will help to sustain you and your loved ones as you work out a plan of getting back on your feet again.

Experts advise that you keep aside money equivalent to three or six months of your monthly income (salary or otherwise).

He emphasised the need to have a fair competition in business to avoid suffocating the Zambian businesses upon which many families depended for the livelihood in the townships.

Mr Kang’ombe also observed that said it was a security risk for foreign owned shops to continue operating in compounds as they provide unfair competition for Zambians who had low capital.

He said that the local authority wanted foreign traders to conduct business in right places and not in compounds and low-cost areas.

And President of the Zambia- Chinese Association Copperbelt chapter, Wang Xin, said there were over 30 Chinese businesses in Kitwe, majority of whom operated in the CBD and Industrial area.

Mr Wang said that there were about six who were operating in compounds and of which two had already relocated while two more were asking for more time to dispose of the old stock.

He however explained that the other two had entered into partnership with locals.

Meanwhile Shoprite and Choppies took note of the concerns and pledged to empower locals in the supply chain.

Choppies on the other hand reported having opened 23 outlets so far.

The meeting was attended by representatives from Choppies Chimwemwe, Shoprite Chimwemwe, Xingmei Suppermarket, China Mini Mart Centre and Choice Mart.

Worry Differently Worry is a worry but you can and should choose to worry differently. Julius Luwaya shared a great message on Social Media (FB) regarding this. He wrote, ‘When you have some ‘Money’ saved somewhere, you worry differently. Olo Che Ka K100.’ We agree with you, Julius. Saving and practising sound Money Management behaviours goes a long way in transforming the narrative of your worries by making them manageable and far from life-threatening. At IBP, this is our wish for you, dear Reader, you deserve a worry-free life!

We trust that you enjoyed the read and that you will hold these lessons dear to your mind/heart. We also hope that you will share the lessons with family and friends.

Please continue to live Money Smart lives to improve the quality of life for you and your loved ones. Remember that it is never too late to put your Money Management game in order if not yet on this path. At IBP, we have products and services that can help you to manage money well today for a better tomorrow. Please do not hesitate to contact any IBP branch closest to you and learn more about our product/service offering.

Until next week, be blessed and remember to be a blessing and of service to others and continue to keep safe as we fight COVID -19.

1,300 OPPOSITION MEMBERS DEFECT TO PF IN IKELENGE

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI ABOUT 1, 300 members from opposition political parties have defected to the Patriotic Front (PF) in Ikelenge.

The members were from United Party for National Development (UPND), MMD and Alliance for Democracy

and Development (ADD).

They defected to the ruling party at a meeting addressed by PF Deputy Secretary-General Mumbi Phiri.

Leading other defectors, ADD losing Ikelenge parliamentary candidate, Richard Kavwanda, said the people in the district

Ms Phiri

had learnt a lesson in supporting the opposition.

He said the area was lagging behind in terms if development because of always supporting opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) who did not want to lobby for development.

“That is why today,

we have decided to associate ourselves with PF Government,” he said.

Receiving the defectors, Ms Phiri said people of Ikelenge have made a prudent decision to work with Government.

Ms Phiri said the decision by the people of Ikelenge was a wise one for they

had been cheated by the opposition for a long time.

She said development in the area could only be realised when people together with their civic leaders realised the need to work with the government.

“But today, I am happy that you the people of Ikelenge have made a wise decision to work with the government,” she said.

She said the UPND which they had been supporting for a long time did not mean well for them as leaders in the opposition party were always de-campaigning progressive ideas such as Bill 10.

Ms Phiri said that in 2016, the UPND de-campaigned the referendum to amend the Bill of Rights which would have given people power to demand for what they deserve in terms of services.

“Had it gone through, you people were going to have powers to sue government each time it fails provide the services you need. But they went round the country including here in Ikelenge and cheated you.

“Today, they are on it again, they are de-campaigning the Constitutional Amendment Bill number 10 of 2019” she said.

Mr justice Mulife said that it was important to ensure timely access to justice in order for citizens to value and appreciate the rule of law.

The judge was speaking during the commissioning of the rehabilitated court room at the Livingstone Magistrate Courts.

Livingstone chapter of Communication Cooperation

I am particularly happy that the Livingstone chapter was selected to host the exchange visit arising from the fact that our chapter is performing exceedingly well,” he said.

He said this will greatly help to improve access to justice in the whole country instead of restricting the initiative to a few districts.

Acting Director of Legal Aid Board, Kelvin Muzenga, expressed happiness that the court room had been rehabilitated and availed to the public.

LIVESTOCK sector growth has slowed due to travel restrictions, leading to decreasing demand and low prices during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Himwaze Investment Limited, a local business entity operating in Livingstone, Kazungula and Zimba, said that the sector had not been spared from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Managing Director Derrick Himwaze said that the livestock sector, which had previously experienced strong growth, has slowed due to travel restrictions of livestock resulting in decreasing demand and low prices.

Mr Himwaze said that the major challenges for the livestock farmers during COVID-19 included decreasing prices, surplus supply, decreased demand, and slow trade flow due to movement controls, all of which were related.

He said that that due to the COVID-19, tourism came to a halt and consumption of livestock products decreased, prices dropped and trade slowed down.

In an interview with the Daily Nation in Livingstone, Mr Himwaze said most of the abattoirs closed business and since the reopening, the sector was struggling to pick up.

“We have been affected

by COVID 19 in a bad way since most of the beef that we slaughter is meant for the tourism sector but because hotels, lodges and guest houses closed, our sector was badly hit,” he said.

Mr Himwaze who operates an abattoir said, before the pandemic, he used to slaughter about 100 animals in a week but nowadays, the abattoir only slaughters about 20 animals in a week.

He said his firm was currently operating below 40 per cent of the normal production of the year.

He disclosed that in an effort increase production, his company has been engaged to slaughter animals for the international market for the traders that sell the meat in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

WORLD POLICE BRUTALITY

Wednesday 8, July 2020

News of the

NAIROBI - Kenyan police yesterday fired teargas and arrested activists gathering for a march against perceived government injustice that has been given extra impetus this year by allegations by rights groups of police brutality during the Covid-19 lockdown.

Activists said protesters from several areas had planned to march from their homes to the centre of the capital Nairobi, but many were dispersed or arrested before reaching there. Samuel Kiriro said six of his colleagues from rights group the Ghetto Foundation in the Mathare slum had been arrested.

For those who made it into the city centre, police fired more teargas and made further arrests, a Reuters witness said.

Activists rally each year on July 7, marking the date in 1990 when opponents of late President Daniel Arap Moi launched a bid to open up multiparty politics. The protest is called “Saba Saba” - “seven seven” in Swahili - because of the date.

This year, protesters have been galvanised by mounting accusations of police brutality during the coronavirus lockdown.

“The police have been killing a lot of people ... During this pandemic, it has gotten worse,”

HARARE - The days of people holding large tracts of idle land are over, and those not making optimal use of their allocated farms risk losing them, Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa warned on Monday.

In Zimbabwe, farmland is government property, rented by farmers.

Recently, the Zimbabwean government gazetted the farm sizes permitted, depending on ecological regions.

Mnangagwa, while addressing provincial ministers, said those not fully utilising the land risk losing it. – FIN24.

Nigeria bars VIP aides from airports

…Kenyan police fire teargas, arrest marchers protesting at brutality

ABUJA - With flights set to resume, Nigeria has barred aides of politicians and other prominent personalities from airport terminals unless they are travelling, local media report.

Aviation Minister Hadi Sirika says the move is part of measures to contain the spread of coronavirus by reducing the number of people at the airports. He said only travellers would be allowed inside the airports. – BBC.

Kenyan schools to stay closed until 2021

NAIROBI - Kenya’s Education ministry has said that all primary and secondary schools will reopen next year. It said all students would resume studies in their current classes.

Education Minister George Magoha said no final-year national examinations would be held for primary and secondary pupils this year. Those exams are usually held in October and November each year. – BBC.

Egypt, France, Germany, Jordan warn Israel on annexation

For those who made it into the city centre, police fired more teargas and made further arrests. said Michael Njau, an activist at Kiamaiko Justice Centre.

Police were not immediately available to respond to multiple requests for comment.

Rights group Amnesty International said Kenyan police had killed at least 100 people in 2020, with 21 related to COVID infractions, such as curfew or mask violations. In March, in

the first 10 days of the curfew, at least six people were killed, Human Rights Watch has said.

Over the weekend, protesters in western Kenya set fire to a police station after an officer allegedly killed a hawker for selling fake hand sanitisers. The officer was taken into police custody, a police report seen by Reuters said.

BERLIN - Egypt, France, Germany and Jordan warned Israel yesterday against annexing parts of the Palestinian territories, saying that doing so could have consequences for bilateral relations.

In a statement distributed by the German Foreign Ministry, the countries, which include two of Israel’s leading partners in the Middle East, said their foreign ministers had discussed how to restart talks between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. – REUTERS.

Kenya police spokesman Charles Owino told Kenyan TV station NTV in June, responding to allegations of brutality, it was fair to highlight the issues “but it is also important for us to try and get results of investigations for each and every matter” to avoid setting the public against the police.

US envoy arrives in South Korea as North Korea rejects talks

Congo dispatches former warlords to try to resolve ethnic conflict DAKAR - Democratic Republic of Congo’s government has dispatched former warlords, including two who were tried for war crimes in The Hague, to try to convince militiamen in their home region to surrender, the governor of Ituri province said on Monday.

Ethnic violence in Ituri, where a conflict between Lendu farmers and Hema herders between 1999 and 2007 resulted in an estimated 50, 000 deaths, broke out again in 2017.

Hundreds have been killed and hundreds of thousands forced to flee.

Now, Congo’s government is turning to some of the main players from the previous conflict to try to resolve the

Zim rules out land barons

current one, dispatching a delegation that arrived in Ituri last week.

Governor Jean Bamanisa said one of the members of the delegation is Germain Katanga.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) convicted Katanga in 2014 on one count of crimes against humanity and four of war crimes for leading a Lendu militia in a 2003 attack on a village that killed about 200 civilians.

He was released earlier this year after serving over a decade in prison in The Hague and in Congo.

Another delegation member is Mathieu Ngudjolo, who was acquitted by the ICC in 2012 of charges of war crimes and

crimes against humanity for his alleged role in the same attack.

The delegation will begin travelling around the province this week to meet members 1 of the Cooperative for the Development of the Congo, whose fighters are mostly drawn from the Lendu community, 8 Bamanisa said.

“It could take more than 45 days to travel everywhere,” he said. “It is a mystical-religious11 community group, and not 13 structured.”

Late last year Congo’s army launched a large-scale operation against militias in the 16 east of the country, but that sparked a backlash in which armed groups killed several 20 hundred people. – REUTERS.

Ghana opposition picks first female VP candidate ACCRA - Ghana’s main opposition has announced a female candidate as a vicepresidential candidate for the first time.

Naana Opoku Agyeman will join forces with former president John Dramani Mahama as he attempts a comeback in December’s election.

Prof Opoku Agyeman is a former Education minister and a former vice-chancellor of the University of Cape Coast.

If the opposition NDC wins this year’s presidential election then she will become Ghana’s first female vice-president.

Some party members say she brings on board humility, experience and accomplishment.

The poll on 7 December 7 is expected to be keenly contested with incumbent President Nana Akufo-Addo seeking a second consecutive term.

HOROSCOPE

Horoscope 07 July 2020

Aries (March 21-April 19) The best way to challenge yourself is by exploring something new. Probe unknown territory and not only will you really stimulate your brain in a whole new way, you will create a situation where you can really be proud of yourself. You could try something that intimidates everyone else, or you could tackle something that has always been scary to you. Have a particular phobia? This is the day to try to conquer it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today, you need to be careful of the people who try to cozy up to you, because they are the people who are definitely going to be up to no good! If someone is going on and on about how wonderful you are, it’s not because they know it to be a fact; it’s because they want something from you. If you are willing to make the transaction, that’s fine. But you need to be a conscious participant. Don’t let anyone take advantage of you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You and a close friend or romantic partner are in a very good point in your relationship. The two of you are good partners, but from time to time you do have to compromise. That’s only normal. Today, make sure you’re not the one who gives up the most in a negotiation. This battle is one you have to fight in order to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship. So don’t budge, and be ready to explain why you won’t budge.

DAILY

16

They respect you, and they’ll give you what you need.

for the right reasons.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Nothing is quite as it seems today, so this great flow of energy you’re feeling is going to be hard to deal with.

You’ll be like a racehorse prancing at the starting gate, eager to go forward but unable to. But things happen when they need to happen, so getting frustrated or assuming that other people are causing the delay is just a waste of time. Distract yourself with something else, anything that takes your mind off things.

Libra (September 23-October 22) Follow each and every impulse to explore you have today, no matter how far off track it might take you.

Finding a new interest or career prospect is the best gift you can give yourself right now, so don’t hold back on your curiosity. Listen to it and go wherever it takes you. Delve deeper into the topics and ideas that intrigue you. They are sure to alert you to someone or something that is, in turn, sure to make you happy.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) Spend as much time as you can with the people in your life who have power, because you could benefit from it. Right now, the best way to get the inspiration you need in your life is to watch someone who is at the top of their game. Watch what they do and observe how they treat other people. Learning how they do what they do will provide you with a useful blueprint and help you see how you can follow them down the path to success.

Leo (July 23-August 22) It’s time to start making plans for your next vacation.

You may not know exactly when it will be, but you can still plan. Visit some websites and ask friends about their favorite jaunts. Focus on information gathering for now. Avoid booking anything or making any other type of commitment. Now is the time for assessing different options and just sitting with different ideas.

After a while, your choice will be an obvious one.

Scorpio (October 23-November 21) You can’t be responsible for the behavior of other people, so don’t feel bad if a friend lets an inappropriate comment slip out or if a co-worker makes a bad move in front of the big boss. You are only responsible for your behavior. You might think you’re helping someone by telling them how to act in a certain situation where they might not be comfortable, but unless they ask for your advice, do not give it. They will only see you as trying to control them.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) Juggling your commitments to make more time to spend with the people you love is going to be especially tricky right now. Your schedules aren’t going to align right away, and something has to give. All of this negotiation is getting frustrating, and certain people may get upset. But you have the creativity to make sure you give everyone the attention that they need now.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) Even though you’re excited about something new that’s coming down the road, you shouldn’t stop paying attention to what’s going on today. Don’t rush ahead with things before you are ready to get started on them. And before you can start them, you have to finish up what you’re doing now. In relationship terms, you have to make sure you are totally over someone from your past before you can move forward with a new person into your future. Make sure you’re doing it

Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) You are definitely at the center of the action right now, which is right where you need to be! You’re never more happy than when you are needed, so you should be very happy today! You’re totally in sync with other people, which will make it easy to get things done and have fun while doing so. Everyone is going to be communicating honestly and openly with each other, and you could be drawn to a very interesting new person.

HEST WORLD AUCTIONEERS LIMITED Times Printpack (Z) Limited

Pisces (February 19-March 20) Leave the gossip alone today unless you want to be accused of being a blabbermouth! Your self control is at an all-time low now, so if you hear a juicy secret you’ll probably let it spill, which could lead to some time in the doghouse for you. When the conversation turns to the latest drama in someone’s life, you should either change the subject or pretend that you suddenly have something else to do. Don’t tempt yourself. You might not be able to resist.

SENIOR CHEMISTRY SEPARATION TECHNIQUES PART 2

In the previous lesson we discussed filtration, separating funnel and simple distillation as separation methods used to separate mixtures. In this lesson we shall look at chromatography, fractional distillation, decantation and magnetism.

Chromatography Chromatography is a separation technique that is used to separate a mixture of substances with different solubilities. The property of the mixture that makes chromatography workable is the difference in solubilities of the substances contained in a mixture. For example, the colours in black in ink can be separated using chromatography.

This implies that the substances in a mixtures dissolve in the same solvent at different rates.

The type of chromatography we shall discuss is paper chromatography. This implies that this method is done using a chromatography paper. In addition, the suitable solvent for paper chromatography is ethanol. There are two types of paper chromatography namely ascending and descending chromatography.

In ascending chromatography, the solvent is absorbed by the chromatography paper upwards.

In a descending chromatography, the solvent is absorbed downwards. See the diagrams below.

Chromatography paper Sample of the mixture

When the solvent is absorbed, it will dissolve the components of the mixture.

The component that is very soluble will be moved the furthest from the point where the sample of the mixture is placed. The one that is less soluble will cover the shortest distance from where the sample is. After the components are separated, a chromatogram will be formed. There are three types of chromatograms and these are: chromatogram of a pure substance, chromatogram of a mixture and a chromatogram with insoluble components of a mixture in a given solvent. See the diagrams below.

ethanol

When the mixture is heated, the liquid with the lowest boiling point will begin to evaporate and pass through the glass beads and finally through the condenser where the vapour is condensed. Note that the glass beads provide large surface area for condensation. The first drops of the distillate must be discarded. In the above set up ethanol will evaporate first because it has a boiling point of 780C which is less than that of water which is 1000C. When ethanol is boiling, the temperature reading of the thermometer will remain constant at 780C. When the temperature reading begin to rise, remove the conical flask and put another one in order to collect the second liquid which is water. Again the first drops must be discarded because they may contain ethanol. Note that both liquids are collected as distillate.

After both liquids have been collected separately, put out the flame while water is still running to allow the apparatus to cool.

Industrial application of fractional distillation § It is used to separate components of crude oil. Crude oil is made up of diesel, paraffin, petrol, bitumen and others § It is used to separate oxygen, nitrogen and other gases from air. § It is used to separate fermented liquor into water and ethanol.

(d) The suitable solvent to be used for chromatography is ethanol. (e) Chromatography is used to identify the substance or to determine the purity of the substance.

Fractional Distillation Fractional distillation is a separation technique that is used to a mixture of miscible liquids with different boiling points. Miscible liquids are liquids that mix uniformly or homogenously. Example of miscible liquids are water and ethanol.

When miscible liquids are put in one container, one might think there is only one liquid. This method depends on the difference in boiling points and miscibility of the liquids. The diagram below shows the setup of apparatus used to separate a mixture of miscible liquids in a laboratory.

(b) Identify the part labelled T and state its function (c) What is the function of the part labelled P?

(f) State one industrial application of the above separation technique Solutions (a) The above separation method is fractional distillation (b) The part labelled T is a thermometer and the function of a thermometer is to measure temperature. (c) The function of the part marked p is to condense the vapour back to liquid. (d) Part Q (e) The function of the glass beads is to increase the surface area for condensation. (f) Fractional distillation is used to separate the components of crude oil.

Decantation Decantation is a separation method that is used to separate insoluble substance that settle at the bottom of the liquid. This is done by pouring out the liquid leaving the insoluble substance at the bottom. For example, before cooking rice, it has to be cleaned. This is done by putting it water and after cleaning it, water is poured out leaving the rice behind. See the diagram below.

DAILY

IT is a typically sweltering Saturday morning in central Cuba, and in the sleepy town of Moron, where rickshaw drivers seek shade and pigs are read their last rights amid growling motorbikes, a gentlefaced mother-of-four sits near the town square, phone in hand.

Here, in one of the world’s last communist outposts, where access to the internet is both sketchy and restricted, such plazas double up as WiFi zones.

The woman, having entered the 12-digit password on the back of her US$1 internet card, logs in, loads up Google News, and types: “Onel Hernandez.”

This is how the mother of the Premier League’s first Cuban footballer follows her son’s career.

Hernandez, Norwich City’s 27-year-old winger, is a historymaker. But this is a story as much about his birthplace and its curious relationship with football as the man himself.

Moron is known mostly as a transport hub, a stop-off for the rusting ramshackle trains that connect Cuba’s east and west. The town is suffocatingly hot and humid. The average monthly salary is 777 pesos, the equivalent of around £25.

Tourists in hot-pink Cadillac taxis might stay for lunch en route from the southern city of Trinidad to the paradise cays in the north, but most who visit Moron do not linger long. For Onel Lazaro Hernandez Mayea it was no different. Hernandez spent his early years in Moron picking mangos, playing with marbles, and watching turkey vultures soar through the sky Born here in 1993, Hernandez left when he was six and has returned only a few times.

His mother, Yaneisy Mayea, met a German tourist in the mid-1990s. A year later she accepted a proposal to marry and emigrate to the small town of Gutersloh, an hour’s drive east from Dortmund.

It was a decision that not only changed a 21-year-old single mother’s life forever, it also set her son on the journey from Cuba to Carrow Road.

ONEL HERNANDEZ:

Norwich City winger and his country’s curious football scene

intervening years enjoying a simple childhood: attending nursery, picking fresh mangos off his neighbours’ trees, playing with marbles in the street. He would watch with interest as turkey vultures soared through the sky in search of their next meal. When the time came to move, he cried all the way to the airport, confused and distressed to be leaving the only home he knew.

Without a word of German and with no friends, it was a difficult transition. But Hernandez’s stepfather was a football coach and suggested the sport might help him settle in. Pushed on by Yaneisy shouting in Spanish from the sidelines, Hernandez went on to play for the junior sides of FC Gutersloh and LR Ahlen before joining Arminia Bielefeld’s academy aged 14.

“Since he was very young, even here in Cuba, he would ruin his shoes from kicking the stones so much,” recalls Yaneisy, who returned to Moron 10 years ago and now owns a farm where she rears cows and pigs. “The last time he visited, I reminded him and he said: ‘Yes mum, I’ve always had this game in my blood.’”

On October 1, 2010, thenBielefeld coach Christian Ziege handed a 17-year-old Hernandez his professional debut. Ten days later, he was capped by Germany U18s.

“Onel was a hard-working young player with a lot of talent and speed,” recalls former Germany, Bayern Munich and Liverpool defender Ziege. “He listened a lot and tried hard to do the things we asked him. He

In January 2018, he was sold to Norwich for 2.5m euros (£2.2m). “Onel,” said Braunschweig’s sporting director Marc Arnold, “far exceeded all our expectations.”

Arriving in a new country once again, Hernandez showed his speed both on and off the pitch, quickly picking up enough English to bond with fans and enjoying a productive first full season in England over

On the opening day of the 2019-20 season, Hernandez made history when he came off the bench at Anfield, adding his Caribbean island homeland to the ever-expanding list of countries to be represented in England’s top flight. His 20-minute cameo, however, generated little interest back in Cuba. Strangely, he remains an unfamiliar figure.

“Onel played one time for Germany U18s and had the chance to continue, but his dream has always been to

PICKING MANGOS

Hernandez spent his early years in Moron picking mangos, playing with marbles, and watching turkey vultures soar through the sky Born here in 1993, Hernandez left when he was six and has returned only a few times.

“When I went to Germany, Onel stayed here,” Yaneisy tells BBC Sport from inside her grandmother’s modest mintgreen home in Moron.

“It was difficult to leave him of course, but his father needed to sign a document authorising me to take him to Germany and he refused. Onel stayed with my mother for two years before his father eventually agreed to give permission.”

Hernandez, playing for Germany U18s in October 2010 could go past people for fun and was always a threat, so we decided he was ready to play.”

Within a month however, Ziege had left and Hernandez was back training with Bielefeld’s U23s. After spells with Werder Bremen II and Wolfsburg II, he joined Eintracht Braunschweig, where he scored

2018-19.

He scored eight goals and claimed 10 assists to help the Canaries finish top of the Championship and celebrated on the Carrow Road pitch draped in a Cuban flag. He even declared his love for Argos. Norwich were promoted.

“Since he was very young, even here in Cuba, he would ruin his shoes from kicking the stones so much,” recalls Yaneisy, who returned to Moron 10 years ago and now owns a farm where she rears cows and pigs.’’

play for Cuba,” says Yaneisy, who acts as the intermediary between her son and the country’s football association.

“I have been to Havana many times for meetings, but why they haven’t called on him yet is something I don’t think I will ever understand.”

In the capital Havana, the owner of the football-themed El Angel de Tejadillo bar does not know who Hernandez is, even when shown a photo.

A Cuban tour guide in Trinidad wears a Barcelona shirt and speaks of his love of football, but has never heard of his trailblazing compatriot.

Osvaldo Suarez, who runs a guesthouse in Varedero, watched Norwich’s game at Liverpool and remembers the commentators saying Hernandez was the first Cuban to play in the league, but admits it did not mean much to him.

“I haven’t seen him play since,” he says. “It’s difficult to follow his career here because he doesn’t play for one of the big teams so we don’t get much news. Internet is expensive and most Cubans use it for social media rather than searching news.

“It makes me proud that he’s playing in an important league though. I’d like to hear more, but in Cuba the truth is guys like Neymar and Messi are more important.”

Even in Moron, recognition is rare. A group of bare-chested youths kick around a wornout ball on a cobbled street close to Hernandez’s greatgrandmother’s home, yet they recognise neither his name nor his photo.

A taxi driver when asked if he likes football reaches excitedly for his phone, but rather than producing a selfie with his notable former neighbour, instead displays a stock image of Cristiano Ronaldo.

“The problem is that football in Cuba is not like Germany or

England or other countries,” says Yaneisy, seated next to a small signed photo of her son in a Braunschweig shirt. “Football is not the main sport and is not followed by a lot of people - but the people who follow football know my son, for sure.”

Teqball wins NOC’s nod From page 20

In letter addressed to Boniface Kambikambi General Secretary of Teqball Federation of Zambia, NOCZ executive director Brenda Chipande said Teqball’s membership application for membership had been approved.

Chipande however said that the membership approval was subject to ratification by the Olympic Council at the next annual general meeting.

Teqball is a new sport that involves a set of four players juggling a ball over a board similar to that of table tennis.

And Teqball Federation president Dickson Jere recently said that the federation would soon launch a league that would be played alongside soccer teams.

Jere said that he had written to Zambian Super Division sides so as incorporate Teqball teams in their clubs.

…Siwale says they’ve always been keen to dialogue with FAZ

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

E have always been willing to dialogue and have these matters resolved but our demand is that all illigimate bans must be lifted, contentious issues in the Constitution must be sorted out, as well as the electoral roadmap be ironed out and start afresh, banned soccer administrator Blackwell Siwale has said.

Siwale says he and other stakeholders were ready to sit down to a round table to iron out perceived wrangles in Zambian football.

FIFA recently wrote a letter to FAZ and gave

Siwale

the association a 10-day ultimatum to resolve the wrangles that had rocked the game or face sanctions.

But Siwale noted the fell on the FAZ president Andrew Kamanga in leading the way to resolving the wrangles and not government nor the stakeholders.

He however noted that it was unfortunate that the FAZ president had not taken a leading role in informing the people concerned in the letter but instead went ahead to give it to the media.

He said that he and others were always willing to have the matters resolved and that their demand was that all bans be lifted as well as contentious issues in the constitution be resolved.

“None of us concerned parties have been informed officially of the existence of that letter, but

even if he had contacted us regarding that letter, we would have still told him that you go ahead and convene a meeting and find a way of how you hope to resolve this matter. We are participants but who is going to initiate this meeting, it’s Kamanga,” Siwale said.

We have always been willing to dialogue and have these matters resolved but our demand is that in this regard is very simple, that all illigimate bans must be lifted and contentious issues in the constitution must be sorted out, and the electoral roadmap must be ironed out and start afresh .

Siwale was in 2018 expelled from the FAZ executive for failing to account for K150, 000, an allegation he denies and was later banned from all football-related matters for circulating illegally obtained documents.

Women’s champions league good, says FAZ official

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

THE introduction of the CAF Champions League for women will give women more opportunities and that clubs will benefit from the competition financially, says Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) executive committee member Brenda Kunda Kunda, the FAZ women’s

football chairperson said the CAF Champions League for women will also help make national leagues competitive.

She said that women football will be given more opportunities on the continent with a continental club tournament.

Kunda said that while the cancellation of the Africa Women’s Championship (AWCON) was regrettable the Champions League could compensate for the loss.

She noted that the owners of women clubs had been critical in the growth of the ladies’ game in Zambia and that the CAF Women Champions League would help reward some of their efforts.

And Kunda expressed delight at the growing number of women footballers signing for clubs in foreign leagues.

So far Zambia has four players in Europe and one in China.

Rachael Nachula and Hellen Chanda were the latest go to Europe having signed for Zaragoza FF in Spain while Misozi Zulu and Rachael Kundananji are in Kazakhstan with BIIK Kazyghurt who campaign in the UEFA Champions League.

National women soccer team captain Barbra Banda recently moved from EDF Logrono in Spain to Shanghai Club in China.
