REMOVING ILLEGAL GOLD MINERS

THE country has been confronted with the issue of foreigners invading gold mining areas and this has got everyone pointing fingers and blaming authorities.

Zambians see the discovery of gold in almost every part of the country, as act of “heavenly” intervention to reverse the nation’s economic misfortunes.

Gold is a valuable mineral whose selling price is nothing to sneeze and it is from this point of view that many Zambians feel that this discovery has come at the right time to help the country over its economic malaise.

It is therefore from this understanding that Zambians want to ensure that the gold is indeed mined to help the government manage the economy and also help hosting communities improve their livelihoods.

Many are also hoping to use the gold rush to change their status in life. Such is the hope that the yellow stone is giving to Zambians and hence the excitement about the mineral.

It is like everyone wants a stake in the gold mining and the reason the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development, Mr Barnaby Mulenga, has asked locals to be vigilant and fish out the foreigners who want to plunder the resource.

The authorities are being blamed for seemingly entertaining foreigners who have invaded the gold mining areas.

However, now Government has told local communities in gold mining areas to play a big role in safeguarding the resource. Mr Mulenga has told the locals to effect citizen’s arrest of foreigners invading their areas for purposes of mining gold illegally.

Yesterday, we carried a story of a Chinese national captured through a citizen’s arrest effected by Rufunsa locals. The man was picked from a mining site and handed over to police for processing. This is as it should be. Locals and police should work together to ensure that sanity is restored in the gold mining sector.

Mr Mulenga said the areas with gold were vast for security wings to effectively monitor and that hosting communities must always effect a citizen’s arrests on those found mining illegally.

Government has also praised the vigilance shown by Rufunsa communities against illegal gold miners who were being flushed out.

He said in an interview yesterday that it was not possible for security personnel to be present at all gold sites because the areas were vast and there was need therefore for communities to take the responsibility of protecting the resource.

We know from official records that 92 percent of artisan gold licences are held by Zambians but it is these same citizens that invite foreigners into partnerships.

Foreign nationals that include Chinese, Tanzanians and Ugandans have flooded many gold sites illegally exploiting the resource at will.

This development has local traditional leadership worried and some like, Senior headman Nyampande, John Mambo, are leading the fight to ensure gold mining benefits local people.

They have since asked Government to provide guidelines on setting up more cooperatives so that the gold mining is done in an organised manner.

This is all well and good, but we want to appeal to those locals with artisan licences not to go behind their friends’ backs and invite foreigners into illegal partnerships.

We think that cooperatives would be the best way to ensure locals benefit and this should therefore be encouraged.

His son, Mwamba Chishimba had also been removed as company secretary for Mwamona Engineering Technical Services Limited and replaced by Carol Chansa Chipande (Kambwili’s wife).

Govt orders contractors to resume works

By SIMON MUNTEMBA GOVERNMENT has directed all contractors to resume work on projects that were halted due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.

Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure Development (MHID) Permanent Secretary, Charles Mushota said the ministry has started sending technocrats to all provinces to ensure that works resumed.

Mr Mushota said in an interview that the ministry was engaging all contractors to ensure they resumed works immediately.

“This follows the directive from State House that works that were halted due to the Coronavirus outbreak should resume,” Mr Mushota said.

He said the ministry would work with the Ministry of Health to ensure that all workers in the construction industry adhered to health regulations as they worked under the new normal

Mr Mushota said the Covid-19 pandemic had negatively affected progress on construction of many projects and that by working in line with the new normal, there was need to catch up on the work.

Recently, Special Assistant to the President for Projects and Implementation, Andrew Chellah, while in Choma inspecting various infrastructure projects, ordered the resumption of construction works that were halted due to the pandemic outbreak.

Mr Chellah said contractors should adhere to health regulations as they work under the new normal arrangement.

He said developmental projects would not be allowed to suffer because of the Covid-19.

Mr Chellah said it was sad that some contractors abandoned construction sites even before the outbreak of the Covid-19.

If somebody goes to PACRA wanting to find out directors and particulars of shareholders they will find something different. For me who had investigated the matter before, we will appear like we presented false facts. When this matter was brought to my attention I got interested and brought these documents to the prosecution team.”

‘Frustrated’ Changala warned against attacking Lungu

By BENNIE MUNDANDO BREBNER Changala’s incessant attacks on President Edgar Lungu are due to frustration because he campaigned for us in 2016 with the hope that he would be given a job and as his desires were not fulfilled, he has gone ballistic, says PF Lusaka Province Secretary Kennedy Kamba.

Mr. Changala, a human rights activist, has directed a political tirade at President Lungu, a number of times with the latest being his statement that no one wants the President anymore because of his incorrigible leadership marred with corruption. But this has not settled well with the PF as Mr Kamba has now charged that Mr. Changala’s incessant but baseless attacks on the Presider had become too much.

In an interview yesterday, Mr. Kamba wondered what had changed overnight for Mr. Changala to align himself to the same opposition which he attacked day and night prior to the 2016 elections.

He said he was not surprised that Mr. Changala had continued attacking President Lungu because for him, politics was about personal gain and not provision of a service to the people and that he had expected to be given a job in Government after campaigning for the PF.

smoothly.

Mr Kachenjela said crude oil had fallen to an all-time low of less than US$30 a barrel on the international market.

This, he noted, could spur economic recovery as Zambia struggled to get out of economic recession associated with the Covid-19 partial lock down.

"Allowing oil marketing companies to be importing finished petroleum products with 20 percent tax waiver is counter-productive as it is likely to create job losses at Indeni and TAZAMA. “This may also expose the Covid-19 reinvention risks through the Nakonde and Chirundu borders infection corridor," he said.

Mr Kachenjela stressed the need for Government to have a holistic approach to revamping Indeni if the country was to become energy secure.

He said Indeni was a strategic national asset which should not remain idle.

He maintained that importing finished petroleum products was not only creating job losses but that it was also damaging the fragile road network infrastructure.

Outgoing Burundian president dies NAIROBI - President Pierre Nkurunziza, who ruled the impoverished and unstable central African nation of Burundi for 15 years, has died, the government announced yesterday.

“The government of the Republic of Burundi announced with great sadness ... the unexpected death of his Excellency Pierre Nkurunziza, President of Burundi,” it said in a tweeted statement, adding that he had died of a heart attack.

Nkurunziza was due to stand down in August, when retired general Evariste Ndayishimiye, who successfully stood for the ruling party in last month’s elections, was due to take over. The opposition said the elections were marred by rigging and violence, charges the government denied.

Nkurunziza would have preferred his ally Pascal Nyabenda, the president of the national assembly, to succeed him, according to a briefing by the International Crisis Group think tank, but the generals successfully lobbied for Ndayishimiye.

According to Burundi’s constitution, Nyabenda is now supposed to take over until

Ndayishimiye starts his seven-year term.

It was unclear exactly when Nkurunziza died at a hospital in Karuzi in central Burundi.

The statement said he had watched a game of volleyball on Saturday but fell ill that night and was taken to hospital.

His health improved on Sunday and he spoke to people but “surprisingly, on morning of Monday June 8, 2020, his health suddenly deteriorated and he had a heart attack.”

Doctors provided “cardiopulmonary resuscitation” over the course of many hours but were unable to save him.

The statement did not specify exactly when he died but asked people to remain calm and announced seven days of mourning. – REUTERS.

Accounting for natural capital key - Permsec

By NATION REPORTER

ASCERTAINING and quantifying Zambia’s natural capital wealth in tourism, land, forest, water and other sectors is important in planning for the country’s economic growth and ensuring sustainable development, the Ministry of National Development Planning has said.

Permanent Secretary in charge of Development Planning and Administration, Chola Chabala said Zambia heavily relies on natural capital and human capital for income generation and that it was important to recognise the value of natural capital and appropriately manage it.

Mr. Chabala said it was envisaged that data to be generated from natural capital accounting would enhance policy decision-making on allocation and use of natural resources.

He said the data collected would also be useful to the private sector in making investment decisions, climate change interventions, community resource management and poverty reduction strategies, among other beneficiary sectors.

Mr Chabala said this when he officiated at the on-going workshop co-organised with the WWF Zambia on development of natural capital accounts for Zambia WAVES Accounts on tourism, forest, water and land in Lusaka yesterday.

“The ministry has been coordinating the implementation of the Wealth Accounting and Valuation of Ecosystem Services (WAVES) programme with the assistance from the World Bank and in collaboration with relevant ministries and stakeholders,” he said.

ONLY colleges and Universities that have put in place Covid-19 preventative measures should be allowed to open, Minister of higher Education Brian Mushimba has said.

Mr Mushimba said institutions of higher learning that will open without clearance will be dealt with accordingly.

He said universities should not rush into opening but should ensure that all health measures are put in place.

"All the measures should be in place to before students are admitted in these Institutions,"Dr Mushimba said.

Dr Mushimba said a local task force on Covid-19 will conduct preparedness check in all colleges and universities before students are admitted.

He said higher learning Institutions should ensure that water and hand washing facilities were available in strategic places at the in-

No wind for regime change yet – Kamba

By SILUMESI MALUMO

THE opposition should know that there is no wind for regime change, Zambians still want President Edgar Lungu because of his good leadership style, Patriotic Front Lusaka Province Secretary Kennedy Kamba.

And Mr Kamba has applauded President Edgar for clearing the air on rumors that he wanted to impose an individual to take over from him.

He said those who were instigating regime change were wasting their time because the ground was not fertile for the opposition to take over power.

He said in an interview yesterday, it was well-known that some civil society organisations had been heavily funded to destabilize the country for the people to vote against the ruling party in 2021 but that would not come to pass.

Mr Kamba said no matter what tactics the opposition could use to de-campaign the ruling party, it would be futile because people were still happy with the leadership of the Head of State.

He however commended President Lungu for the wise counsel he gave members of ruling Party regarding on who would take over from him.

Mr Kamba said it was wise enough for President Lungu to dispel rumours and admonished some rumour mongers who mean nothing good but were bent on dividing the party and causing unnecessary confusion.

being produced but uniforms for army personnel, Zambia National service and Zambia Airforce including nurses’ uniforms. Face masks production, he added, was a warm up for people who stopped working a long time ago.

Mr. Mwale also said it was not different from what President Lungu had promised and that the ministry was thinking outside the box so that more people could be engaged.

He said rejuvenating of production would be a success saying this process was now on the technical stage as technocrats were working on the possibility of reopening the plant in full.

The main area of production of Mulugushi Textile was fabrication and that was exactly what was being done.

We have got to see Zambians support Zambian products. I am glad the policy drive has been to have local products in the local supermarkets for people to stimulate local businesses.

“So it is a call for everybody to work harder than we have worked before in order for us to survive the effects of Covid-19,” Ms Reinke said.

“Our President went further to address some serious but untrue and unfounded rumour making rounds that there is the so-called Luapula 11 that President Lungu wants to leave the Presidency for Secretary General Davies Mwila, myself Kennedy Kamba and those from Luapula.

“These rumours were ridiculous and unfounded.

They must be condemned and rubbished with impunity.

We are glad that President Lungu has decisively dealt with this untrue story and it must be a thing of the past now.

“I am very encouraged personally that President Lungu has come out strongly to refute and condemn this kind of rumour mongering that if left unchecked, had potential to cause confusion. I want to encourage my fellow members of the PF that we need to support President Lungu who is our candidate in 2021 and we must stop and condemn anybody trying to cause confusion in our party by trying to insinuate tribal talks or anything related to regionalism,” Mr Kamba said.

He appealed to the party membership to remain disciplined and avoid peddling lies that were detrimental to the growth and stability as a party.

The President has made it very clear that there was nothing like Luapula 11 and he had no intentions whatsoever of handing over power to anybody in such a manner, Mr Kamba said.

Resolve infighting now, PF cautioned

By BENNIE MUNDANDO

THE infighting within the PF must be checked now before the party goes to the convention to avert a p confusion at the time members will be choosing leaders, the Zambia Republican Party (ZRP) has warned.

Speaking to the Daily Nation yesterday, ZRP president Wright Musoma said the PF had been infiltrated by individuals who were pushing the agenda to remove President Edgar Lungu, with factional groupings all jostling for the presidency.

Mr. Musoma said the factional battels involving party cadres were not from without as there were individuals who were sponsoring their members to secretly campaign for positions ahead of the convention and that if these groupings were not dismantled, they were capable of causing confusion at the convention.

He said there was need for “belligerent factions” to bury the hatchet and help build a strong PF that will easily beat

the opposition as opposed to going into an election as a divided party as that would give room to the opposition to get more votes right in the PF strongholds. He said all those seeking positions in the party using underhand methods must be curtailed so that they did not create confusion in the party adding that winning the 2021 election must be the preoccupa-

tion of every well-meaning PF member.

“The PF must harmonise its membership before the convention. We have heard some people within the party warning their perceived enemies that they will take the fight to the convention and I think care must be taken to ensure that such people are curtailed. If the PF will come out of the convention more

divided, it will be difficult to win the 2021 elections.

Mr Musoma warned the ruling party against laxity saying the opposition may be a fragmented lot but that they were not sitting idly but scheming day and night on how to oust the PF, even if it meant infiltrating the ruling party and create unnecessary confusion to weaken it.

Finally, there are a number of other opportunities that this rescue and turnaround package should take into account, such as diversifying agricultural output to products with more value-adding potential with the use of smart climate-change resilient agricultural practices, harnessing tech-driven activities for the youth, renewable energy, eco-tourism, etc. Above all, it should also be a form of prospectus to present to the holders of our sovereign debt, even to ratings agencies, to persuade them of the better future prospects of Zambia.

‘SA FAILED TO REBUILD BUFFERS POST-2008’

J

OHANNESBURG South Africa’s failure to rebuild the fiscal buffers it had in place when the global financial crisis struck has weighed on the country’s ability to respond to the coronavirus pandemic, Reserve Bank Governor Lesetja Kganyago said.

In April, the government announced a R500 billion support package aimed at reigniting economic growth and supporting those worst affected by a lockdown.

That compares with a fiscal package of more than R800 billion in response to the global financial crisis, facilitated by a budget surplus and relatively low debt-to-gross domestic product ratio, Kganyago said Monday in an interview with radio station 702.

“If ever there was a case as to why you should build your buffers during the good times, that was it,” he said. “Instead of rebuilding our buffers, we continued to live life as if we were richer than what we were and that was the problem getting into this crisis. You could argue that compared to 2008 that is small, but that is what we have, that is the totality of the resources we have as a country.”

South Africa recorded its first budget surplus since democracy in 2007, and in the 2008 fiscal year, debt-toGDP was 26.6 - percent. The National Treasury predicted in February, before the country’s first virus case, that the deficit would swell to 6.8 percent of GDP and that debt will increase to 65.6 percent of GDP in the fiscal year through March 2021.

The central bank was able to respond to the virus with “significant boldness” because it had monetary policy buffers in place, Kganyago said.

The Reserve Bank and its inflation-targeting mandate have often come under fire, especially as it became clearer over the past two years that the MPC aimed to get price growth anchored close to the 4.5 percent midpoint of the target band.

However, that approach to inflation meant that price growth has not broken the top of the target band in three years. The panel cut its benchmark interest rate by 275 basis points this year, the fifth-biggest downward move by global central banks, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

The repurchase rate is now at 3.75 percent, the lowest level since it was introduced in 1998. The central bank also relaxed accounting and capital rules to release additional money for lending and tripled its holdings of South African government debt, helping to bring down borrowing costs in the domestic bond market.

SAMPA DISTANCES HIMSELF FROM FACEBOOK ‘IMPERSONATORS’

L

Dear Editor, ATELY, there has been a number social media banners or posters depicting my face and those of others on a particular theme or advocacy and in particular one with a number of

artistes particularly musicians and other well-known personalities.

A number of Facebook accounts bearing my names and pictures have surfaced dubbed “Miles Sampa for President 2021.”

I wish to distance myself from

both the picture with artistes and the Facebook accounts both as a participant or subscriber to the underlying objectives or goals.

I generally know the artistes in the posters from their musical fame and have hired some before for my private functions. One happens to

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.

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

The TEVET Fund is hereby inviting Employers in collaboration with Training Institutions registered with TEVETA, under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training

Act No. 13 of 1998 and the amendment Act No. 11 of 2005, to present proposals for support through the TEVET Fund towards skills development for EBT. This financing is available to Employers and TEVET providers whose request for financing will be considered responsive to the disbursement criteria. Focus is on provision of training that meets the current market demands.

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

The closing date for submission of proposals is Friday 17th July 2020 at 15:00hrs. Proposals sent by Tele-fax or email will not be accepted. Opening of proposals will immediately follow closure of the Tender Box. Applicants are welcome to witness the Opening of the Tender Box. DETAILED TERMS OF REFERENCE HAVE BEEN EMAILED TO ALL TEVETA REGISTERED INSTITUTIONS. HOWEVER, THESE MAY ALSO BE OBTAINED FROM TEVETA OFFICES AT THE ADDRESS BELOW. Please note that the costs of preparing the proposal and of negotiating the contract, including a visit to TEVETA, are not reimbursable as a direct cost of the proposed funding. TEVETA is not bound to accept any of the proposals submitted. All proposals submitted will remain the property of TEVETA.

be amongst the list of 20 that I had put up and announced in 2018 as my personal advisors as Mayor. I however disbanded the group last year due to various reasons but still consult with one or two on a one to one basis.

The non musical personalities in the picture however have almost zero connection or interactions in the current or distant past. I don’t have theirs and I doubt they have my phone numbers. Simply put, we have neither met nor spoken ever.

As for the Facebook accounts opened up by unknown people whatever their intrinsic motive is, I wish to put it on record that their gesture does not have my blessing and being a Presidential candidate in 2021 or beyond is not on my amongst “things to do” list. I am simply not interested for own personal reasons and conviction not to.

For avoidance of doubt, my support or endorsement Presidential candidate for 2021 and beyond is the incumbent President Edgar Lungu of the Patriotic Front, a party that I am a bona-fide member PF sponsored me to the office of Mayor for the Greater City of Lusaka, a position that I am very content with today and beyond. I ask to be left to concentrate on my civic duties and not have my name or pictures drawn in political topics, schemes or agenda.

My roles entails and I have done my best to execute my duties as Mayor on a nonpartisan basis and thus my office attends and indiscriminately offers services to all residents of the City regardless of their political affiliations.

I wish it to remain that way for the remaining eight months of my term as Mayor and beyond with I would be at personal liberty to get in the political campaign train.

What position I will and if contest in 2021 and where is a combo decision from God, the party PF, and President Lungu and indeed input from myself.

Most definite however, is the Presidency is not and will not be one of my personal options or preferences. I am simply not available.

No thank you.

To all residents and citizens therefore, treat all social media pictures, banners, posters or Facebook accounts depicting my names or face as a fraud as they have zero consent from me. All such about me on social media should be taken with a pinch of (if not a table spoon) of salt.

I humbly submit all Zambians have their Freedom of Expression and Freedom Association guaranteed and given. I give inner respect to that.

I however also wish to have my reverse Freedom of Association or Freedom of Expression guaranteed by not being imposed on groupings, movements or political operations without my consent.

I trust this puts to rest all questions, innuendos and schemes around my name or face and hopefully won’t be distracted again on similar themes from the Mayoral duties next for the eight months when I will pack up by bags at the Civic Centre.

I end with Proverbs 2:3: “Yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding “ MILES BWALYA SAMPA, Mayor of Lusaka.

SENIOR CHEMISTRY: The particulate nature of matter Melting Melting is the change of state of matter from solid to liquid.

Melting of a substance occurs at its melting point. Melting point is defined as the temperature at which a solid melt. For example, the melting point of pure ice is 00C. For a solid to melt, heat energy must be supplied to it until melting point is reached. Therefore, melting is an endothermic process. An endothermic process is a process that absorbs heat energy from the surrounding. The heat energy absorbed brings about separation of particles of a solid. The diagram below shows melting.

ATOMS: An atom is the smallest indivisible particle of an element that take part in a chemical reaction.

IONS: An ion is a charged particle. There are two types of ions namely cations and anions. A cation is a positively(+ve) charged particle and anion is a negatively(-ve) charged particle.

States of matter There are three states of matter namely solid, liquid and gas.

In a solid, particles are closely packed together and are not free to move about instead they just vibrate about a fixed position. This is because the forces of attraction between particles are very strong.

Examples of solids are: stones, wood, glass, building block. The diagram below shows the arrangement of particles in a solid.





Particles in a solid

Because particles in a solid are closely packed together, a solid has fixed shape and fixed volume. Additionally, the solid is incompressible because particles are closely packed together.

In a liquid, particles are slightly apart from each other and are free to move about within short distance. This is because the forces of attraction are less strong. Because particles of a liquid are able to slide over each other, the liquid can take the shape of any container where it is poured. Examples of liquid include: water, cooking oil, petrol, paraffin. The diagram shows how particles are arranged in a liquid.



Particles in a liquid

Note that when there is change of state, there is no change in temperature.

Freezing/ solidification Freezing is the change of state from liquid to solid. Freezing also known as solidification is an exothermic process. An exothermic process is a process that gives out heat energy to the surrounding.

Freezing occurs at a temperature called freezing point. Freezing occurs when particles of a liquid lose heat energy which in turn reduces the kinetic energy of the particles.

Evaporation Evaporation is the change of state from liquid to gas. For evaporation to take place, a liquid must absorb heat energy.

Therefore, evaporation is also an endothermic process. After a liquid has absorbed heat energy, particle that have acquired sufficient kinetic energy will begin to escape from the surface of the liquid. Note that evaporation occurs at any temperature and it occurs on the surface of the liquid. The diagram below shows evaporation.

Condensation Condensation is the change of state from gas to liquid. During condensation particles of gas lose heat energy and in turn kinetic energy is also lost. Hence condensation is an exothermic process because it gives out heat energy to the surrounding. In a diagram form, it is represented as follows.

Note that when drawing the arrangement of particles in a liquid, they should be drawn in such a way that they are sinking towards the bottom and they should not form any pattern. Any liquid has a fixed volume but no fixed shape instead it takes the shape of a container where it is put.

Particles of a liquid have more kinetic energy than those in the solid.

Hence they are able to move about within short distance.

In a gas, particles are further apart from each other and are free to move in any direction at high speed. The forces of attraction in a gas are very weak or negligible. Examples of gases are: oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen The diagram below shows particles in a gas



   

Sublimation Sublimation is the change of state from solid direct to gas or from gas direct to solid without forming a liquid. This implies that sublimation is either exothermic (from gas to solid) or endothermic (from solid to gas). The following are some of the substances that undergo sublimation.

Iodine Carbon dioxide Naphthalene Ammonium chloride The diagram below summarises the changes of states of matter.

Sublimation

Note that a gas has no fixed shape and no fixed volume and because of this, particles of a gas are compressible. In addition, particles in a gas have more kinetic energy than in the liquid and solid. Hence they are able to move in any direction at a high speed.

The three states of matter named above undergo, physical changes. A

1. State two differences between evaporation and boiling 2. Explain the following process in terms of kinetic theory (a) Melting (b) Freezing

Solution Evaporation occurs only on the surface of the liquid while boiling occurs through the entire liquid Boiling occurs only when the boiling point of the liquid is reached while evaporation occurs at any temperature.

2. (a) Melting is the change of state from solid to liquid.

Melting occurs when a solid absorbs heat energy. When particles of a solid are heated, they gain more kinetic energy and begin to vibrate at faster rate until the repulsive forces become slightly stronger than the attractive forces.

This causes particles of the solid to separate and the solid is said to have reached melting point where it changes to liquid. (b)Freezing is the change of state from liquid to solid.

During freezing, Particles of a liquid lose kinetic energy to the sorrounding. The attractive foerces become stronger and bring the particles close to each other forming a solid.

The table below shows the differences between boiling and evaporation

Explanation Before melting point(m.p) of a substance is reached, the substance exist as a solid. On the graph, this is represented by portion OA. When solid is heated up to its melting point, it will begin to melt. Note that as the solid is melting, it will exist in two states , that solid and liquid as represented by portion AB. The other point to be noted is that when a substance is changing state to another state , temperature remains constant as shown by portion AB and CD in the above graph. Heat absorbed during this time is used to overcome the attractive forces.

When all the solid has completely melted, temperature will begin to rise and this is shown by portion BC. Note that in the portion BC, the subsstance exist as a liquid only.

When more heat is supplied to a liquid, it will begin to boil and change to gaseous state. Again when liquid is changing to gas, temperature will remain constant as shown on portion CD. When alsl the liquid has changed to gas temperature will begin to rise. Portion DE shows gas state only.

Matter is defined as any substance that occupies space and has mass. The space a substance occupies is called volume. Therefore, volume is defined as the space occupied by an object or substance.

Mass is defined as the quantity of matter in a substance. In other words, mass is the amount of matter in a substance.

Matter is up of various particles which are referred to as basic units of matter and the following are basic units of matter:

MOLECULE: A molecule is the smallest particle of an element or a compound which exists independently in a free state.

physical change is a change where no new substance is formed. This can occur when a substance absorbs heat energy or gives out heat energy. This entails that one state of matter can change to another state of matter. The changes of states of matter are explained below.

HE Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) has engaged local tailors in Chavuma to make face masks for school children in the district.

So far about 3, 000 face masks have been made by the empowered local tailors in the district.

This came to light during the district administration weekly briefing chaired by the acting District Commissioner, Mr Kenny Mungendenge.

Mr Mungendenge told the heads of department that so far there were no cases of Covid-19 in the district and most schools that had opened for exam sitting classes were doing well.

Meanwhile, District Education Board Secretary, Yona Matukuta, said that all schools were observing hygiene as they had received face masks, detol soap and hand basins. - ZANIS

Laura Miti fails to appear for assault

By ANDREW MUKOMA AN assault case involving Alliance for Community Action executive director Laura Miti and her deputy Bonwell Mwewa has been adjourned to next month after the accused failed to appear in court.

Livingstone Magistrate, Michael Mulalelo, has set July 20, as a date for commencement of defence for the two accused persons, who were previously found with a case to answer.

The follows an adjournment made in the chambers after the two accused persons' lawyers applied to move the case to a later date.

The duo was found with each a case to answer for the offence of assaulting a police officer.

It is alleged that on the December 21, last year at Livingstone Central Police Station Miti and Mwewa arrived at the police around 23:00 hours and requested to see Fumba Chama, alias Pilato, who was at the time detained in police cells.

But the duo was advised they would only be allowed to see the suspect the following day as it was late.

It was alleged that the pair became violent, resulting in assaulting police officers who were on duty.

They were consequently arrested and charged with assault but pleaded not guilty when they appeared in court.

They are being represented

by Linda Kasonde of a Lusaka based law firm and Brian Gombwa of MAK Partners.

L/stone compliance levels drop

By ANDREW MUKOMA DESPITE Government's concerted efforts put in place to combat the spread of Covid-19 in the country, some communities in Livingstone are still not adhering to the guidelines.

Residents in communities such as Ngwenya, Mbita, Maramba and Libuyu Townships are not wearing of face masks while social distancing is a challenge.

A survey showed that some people were still in the habit of shaking hands when preventive measures stipulated that there should not be any hand-shakes.

Some traders told the Daily Nation during a random check yesterday in the markets that there was no corona virus in Livingstone.

Traders and their clients were freely interacting without taking into consideration the dangers that came with the pandemic.

The trend has dismayed the Zambia Micro and Small Traders Foundation Cooperative (ZAMAST) in Southern Province.

In an interview in Livingstone, ZAMAST provincial chairperson Fredrick Sakala said, it was unfortunate that some people especially his members were taking the Covid-19 lightly.

OUR POVERTY CRISIS

NGANDE MWANAJITI

On Wednesday

W

E must decisively deal with the Lords and Agents of poverty who reside among us. They are largely responsible for our poverty crisis and our governments must cause the citizenry to ensure and assume civic responsibility.

Who are the Lords and Agents of poverty? They are mostly decision makers and enablers who push special files and projects. They are the shakers and movers of special projects, includ-ing a series of unfortunate incidents and chal-lenges that affect National Development.

(I in-dicated last week that there is no free lunch!)

The Nation is agreed in principle about issues and obstacles of fighting extreme poverty. Afri-can politicians have since before independence campaigned on the “ticket” of improving peo-ple’s livelihoods.

It is evident that they do improve their personal and family lives!

Some say that the debt prob-lems, which include loan repayment, are part of the story of poverty.

I have a different view point in the sense that the development template that we have adopted is totally unsuitable for our realities.

I respect what Economists articulate, but they have been articulating these views for decades and the Ministries of Finance are packed and managed by professional Economists (at least in Zambia).

But you know what? You cannot bury yourself in Economic or Political theories which do not factor in reality. In fact it is fair to say that alt-hough most politicians engage with their sup-porters on the basis that they will improve their lot, they actually also invest a lot in aspects of subterfuge. Herein lies the problem; and we must incisively discuss, distill, dissect and ana-lyse it, as the Zambia Daily Mail says, “without fear or favour.”

First, there is a problem of “rent seekers” (the 10 percent or Nchekelako club). These will not do anything unless a personal gap addressing poverty is sealed. They look quite, serious and appear professional but have challenges with integrity. You can very easily identify this crew by going down memory lane or any useful ar-chives.

What was the story and position of XYZ before picking on a “game changing card”? Please note that some “cards” are mere fronts for illicit activities and ill-gotten wealth.

The only exception to the “game changing card” is the country’s most Top prized job – the President. The trappings of the Presidency, as designed, barring human temptations, are such that, favours are inherent and could easily at-tract problems of abuse.

Because power is magnetic, it largely explains the scramble or jostling for the Top job. The only

challenge is it easily degenerates into poli-tics of hate, deception, betrayal and cut-throat treachery.

As an observation; many who drink from the poisoned kettle of political scheming, have lit-tle space for either loyalty or uprightness. It is me, my partner, my children and possibly, pets, such as cats and dogs! These have killed their conscience and lie in bed with the devil.

It is doubtful that some office holders who are expert rent seekers but, unfortunately, mistake or confuse their station in life, are there to serve. No Sir. No Madam, the country only vot-ed for the President and not his delegates!

It only takes a Presidential announcement to tilt or alter the balance of power negatively or posi-tively. It is for this reason alone, why many will sing melodious songs, which they do not believe in.

Some go as far as renting support to justify or defend misdeeds, after authoring their own predicament.

Second, the rent seekers have created a Nation-al crisis that makes defeating poverty a difficult undertaking. It is civic duty to actually lobby our governments about the dangers posed by well positioned profit-oriented cartels.

For the profit oriented cartels, the major deter-minant is the bottom-line, represented by fat bank balances and exotic tastes, entangled in doubtful lifestyles.

The profit-oriented cartels, constitute the mas-ter mind league.

No matter what we do, unless we change fundamentals, these have mastered the art of “supporting and working” with every government, in the name of business.

This is where “democracy” becomes a problem. It supports the right and freedoms of speech and

association by all human beings.

It has also pre-sented the law in a way that is amenable to de-fend problems.

In the area of Taxation alone, the profit-oriented cartels understands too well that it is not an offence to avoid tax. What is an offence is to evade tax as smugglers do and some cross-border traders do. As a matter of fact, the profit-oriented cartel, will use the law to defeat jus-tice.

tax be-cause of the nature of their work, but begun to abuse the exemptions. Ask, why would this be the case?

Take the milling industry as an example. Most milling entities are owned by individuals whose staple food has nothing to with Maize.

But Maize brings the money – so that is the main at-traction!

They have invested heavily in maize processing and are a very powerful lobby with a big inter-est

It must be said that avoiding Tax, is by its na-ture a very sophisticated undertaking involving highly trained professionals. For instance, if company X acquires consulting services from an Italian firm, that Italian firm will have to be paid in an international currency and that expenditure is a cost that eats into potential tax.

Examples are abundant. Just look at the Energy and Mining debacles, including the Cost of Services! Who should determine the cost of a ser-vice? (I am not sure you will succeed to walk in a car shop and tell the owners the price you wish to buy a car!)

For instance, if company X acquires consulting services from an Italian firm, that Italian firm will have to be paid in an international currency and that ex-penditure is a cost that eats into potential tax.

The straight line of eating into tax, are dona-tions to charity. We know the story of how some entities were exempt from paying

on promoting Maize as a Staple food. We all know now that Maize at times becomes so ex-pensive and this lobby has succeeded in making maize loosely classified as political food.

But this is only true to the extent that all the lobby needs to do to bring any Zambian gov-ernment down, is to either create artificial shortages, but export and benefit.

So, I ask, what is the difference between these “smart guys” and the “dogs of war” who mar-shalled and managed military take overs in Af-rica and South America? The real difference is that the “dogs of war” style is illegal (but can be legal) and the other, is part of private sector development and the acclaimed economic lib-eralisation!

Then there is the “scandal” of

exports to other countries in need of the commodities. Please note, there is nothing wrong with exporting Maize. But, there is everything wrong in ex-porting maize or its by-products if Zambians are treated to zero options, with its associated diffi-culties, such as availability or affordability.

Not long ago, we had a powerful team from State House visiting milling companies, who while benefitting from cheap maize from the Government of the Republic Zambia, still hiked Mealie meal prices.

These millers do so without moral standing be-cause morality is not part of their understanding of business. Their understanding is to make money and the rest only follows as a necessary accident.

KEY question: Can this attitude of blackmail and scandalous deceit help end pov-erty?

The answer is a big NO. Le me explain: In our case, Zambia, is for Zambians. Zambians and nobody else has a duty to develop Zambia.

Zambia needs long term concrete investments and not trade alone.

As documented, in 1965, the then Rhodesian Prime Minster, Ian Smith, slammed the borders and importation and exportation became diffi-cult and expensive.

The politically-induced option of Tanzania Zambia Railways (TAZARA), holds the key in many ways. The fact that TAZARA was born out of necessity, responding to the total libera-tion of Southern Africa, is beside the point.

TAZARA is and was an answer to accessing the sea. I see great merit in ensuring that the TAZARA project works.

Yes, Cecil Rhodes is most known for his op-pressive antics.

But he is the one who originally put up Zambia’s (then Northern Rhodesia) first railway line.

TAZARA was an accident of struggle and a critical ally in ending poverty.

I find it interesting that we have seriously in-vested in damaging our roads by abandoning the usage of rail. We know that there is a Statu-tory Instrument requiring a certain percentage of goods to be carried by rail. We must not on-ly increase the percentage but also restrict the weight on our roads.

Because Zambia is for Zambians, it is up to Zambians to come up with a Win-Win strategy where we can save on the huge amounts of money used on road construction and repairs to deal with the realities of combating poverty.

For instance, if we look at the road sector alone and compute how much money has been spent since independence, we may come to a sad con-clusion that we are our own enemies.

Get me right. We need a solid and good road network throughout the country. A good road network should never result in killing the rail industry because transportation is vital to indus-trial development and the rail sector accounts for a huge chunk of heavy duty materials. Here, the Ministry of Transport and communications, is in the dock.

Bite the bullet!

See you next week.

GOVERNMENT should reduce and defer some taxes because economic activities have slowed down in the wake of Covid-19, the Zambia Micro and Small Traders Foundation Cooperative (ZAMAST) has said ZAMAST Muchinga province coordinator, Josephat Chitimbwa, said while completely waiving may not be possible, reducing taxes would offer a relief to citizens and businesses.

Mr Chitimbwa “Trading activities have been slow because national health is more important but we request on behalf of our members that ZRA relaxes monthly payments. We are unable to meet the obligations because businesses have been affected by Covid-19 ends,” Mr Chitimbwa said most enterprises had no revenue to meet various obligations including taxes.

“Trading activities have been slow because national health is more important but we request on behalf of our members that ZRA relaxes monthly payments.

We are unable to meet the obligations because businesses have been affected by Covid-19 ends,” he said. Mr Chitimbwa said Government through Ministry of finance and the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) should reduce some taxes so that businesses could continue operating.

He also appealed to the Bank of Zambia to expedite the release K10 billion to commercial banks and Citizens’ Economic Empowerment Commission so that businesses could start accessing the funds.

Mr Chitimbwa said the development would cushion the impact of the pandemic on enterprises.

JACKALS SCRAMBLE FOR ZAMBIAN WEALTH Has Zambia become the Jackals’ Carcass?

T

HE jackal is a small predatory animal which occasionally assembles in small packs to scavenge a carcass.

Jackals can be vicious and can kill huge animals when they assemble and hunt in packs.

Jackals symbolise opportunism intelligence, coirage, isolation, solitude, initiative, determination survival, monogamy, communication, protection, territory, disgusting things and adaptability. Jackal pairs do everything together including eating and sleeping.

A person who behaves in an opportunistic way, especially a base collaborator is referred to as a jackal person. In many folk tales, the jackals are depicted as cunning and are known as tricksters who fool other animals and trick them into doing things they want to do.

Jackals are carnivorous mammals and they will often scavenge the remains of of kills made by other larger predators. They are even known to

eat poisonous snakes.

If one examines the events that have taken place in Zambia since we went back to multiparty democracy, one can conclude that our country has become the scavengers or jackals’ carcass.

Carcass means the body of a dead animal, the body of a slaughtered animal stripped of unwanted viscera, the body of a dead human body or the framework of a structure especially one not normally seen. It is derived from the old French carcois or carcasse.

Zambia became a huge carcass and this started during the privatisation period. Many opportunists took advantage and engaged in base collaboration to work with foreign entities to scavenge and literally steal state-owned companies.

The scavenging extended to politics. Our country witnessed the mushrooming of political parties. Some opportunists took over leadership of parties. Their engagement in politics was not based on any strong ideological beliefs, but to merely protect their business interests.

Sadly, the business interests they are protecting are the stolen state properties which

they acquired through proxies who pretended to be genuine buyers but later handed back the comanies to the jackals who still use proxies to look after their interests.

The sooner all Zambians realise that our country has become a jackals’ carcass, the better for our country. We may hand back the country to imperialists that are working with cunning finesse to sponsor parties that protect their larceny in their business empires.

I am conscious of the fact that every African and indeed many Zambians are complaining about Chinese colonialism.

Yes it’s justified for us to worry about the Chinese invasion of Africa. But it is without doubt easier for us to stop Chinese influence because it’s open and traceable.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CALL 0211-258001 OR 0963777345 OR 0973-450941 OR EMAIL: z.i.d.i.slusaka@gmail. com OR VISIT FACEBOOK PAGE: WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/ ZIDISTUDIES OR COME IN PERSON AT THE ZIDIS CAMPUS SITUATED AT THE CORNER OF JACARANDA AND BURMA ROADS, KABWATA.

Western imperialism poses more danger to Africa. The western countries control world trade and want to get African resources at no cost and then make huge profits out of our sweat and our wealth.

They control the value of our currencies, they get our copper, gold, cobalt and gemstones and many other natural resources and then resell them at higher profits which we do not benefit from.

We must be wary of the jackals amongst our own people who cheat and try to manipulate events and fool people into doing things they are not supposed to do.

The misrepresentation of the gold issue is a point at hand that the jackals are trying

to exploit. To ask youths to demonstrate over the gold agreement between ZCCM-IH and a Sudanese company is a very good example of opportunism.

A good politician ought to know that mining is a wasting asset dominated by multinational companies.

He therefore must encourage youths to think of empowerment in many o t h e r sus-

tainable business activities such as farming and artisanship.

The youth must dig deeply into the records of some of the people who fool them into going in the wrong direction.

Otherwise by the time they wake up, in 2023, it will be too late.

I shudder to think of the Day of the Jackal in Zambia!

‘DON’T RUSH’

By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA

A

FTER an impressive performance that could earn them a move to top European leagues, coach Beston “Quicksilver” Chambeshi has advised Patson Daka and Enock Mwepu not to rush to join another club, because it is not the right time.

The Under-23 national team coach said the duo still have a lot of work to do at Redbull Salzburg before thinking of leaving the Austrian champions.

At the weekend, the Zambian duo were outstanding with Daka scoring

https://twitter.com/dailynationzm

a hat trick while Mwepu netted once and provided an assist in Salzburg’s 6-0 thrashing of Hartberg.

Chambeshi said the time for the boys to make a move away from Austria is not yet ripe. He said they m“For now, let them remain at Salzburg, they don’t have to even rush, patience pays. I have that feeling that big teams are closer to them. Because I have seen two of their teammates joined big teams Liverpool and Dortmund. So it’s now our turn,” Chambeshi said.

The former Nkana gaffer attributed the eye-catching performance of the two to discipline and urged other young players to follow in their

…Chambeshi advises Daka, Mwepu not to rush to bigger clubs

footsteps.

“It’s a good wake-up call for the young boys who are coming up, they have to learn a few things from Daka, Mwepu and Fashion Sakala. I think they have seen how good football is, the way they are doing it. It falls on discipline again, that’s the key. The boys are well disciplined and want to see to it that their career goes further in this game of football. I am seeing the boys doing the job in the right direction,” Chambeshi said. And former Chipolopolo coach Wedson Nyirenda said it was an emotional moment to see the people who condemned him for believing in the boys now sing praises.

“It is always a great feeling sitting back to watch the boys doing us proud. Being one of their mentor and standing up for them when almost all odds were against my choice and decision, it is so emotional to see and hear the same mouths that haurled unprintables on me cheering and praising them so highly.

One day I told the scribes that Patson will one day be Zambia’s pride and I praise God to be alive and see this come to pass,” Nyirenda said.

Meanwhile, Chambeshi who is Kansanshi Dynamos Coach has called on FAZ to give teams at least three weeks of training before any competitive fixture.
