ESCO Limited says it is currently not employing non-essential workers but only critical staff as a measure to cut down on costs. Senior manager corporate affairs, John Kunda, stated that Zesco Limited does not employ staff that was not needed because its workforce was within the parameters set by the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) as the regulator. Dr Kunda said in an interview that employment of critical staff was defined by its work demand therefore essential workers would be recruited. “We don’t employ non-essential workers, staff that we can do without. However all decisions to recruit staff are based on a robust framework, this process is based on what the company needs to deliver its services in an efficient manner,” he said. Dr Kunda explained that the ERB recommended target ratio for key performance indicators is 1: 120 customers but

He said BoZ and investigative wings have a duty to not only protect the public from the issuance of fake currencies but also curb any potential money laundering, irrespective of which citizen is involved. “We implore the police and other investigative wings to ensure that those who may be potentially committing crimes in this regard are brought to book,” he said. Mr Chanda said President Edgar Lungu’s administration would continue to encourage citizens to work hard to legitimately make their earnings.
I WISH to guarantee Zambians that there will be peace and order before, during and after the August 12 general elections, Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja has said. Mr Kanganja said the police were determined to ensure law and order prevailed in the country. He said working with other security wings, the police would ensure that political players conduct their electoral activities in a peaceful environment. “As Inspector General of Police, I would wish to guarantee that peace, law and order will prevail before, during and after this year’s general elections. “I have since directed all division police commissioners to ensure that officers under their charge are alert and see to it that law and order continue prevailing in our country in line with their mandate,” Mr Kanganja said. He said that the police began preparations of policing the August 2021 general election last year and had
come up with strategies. He said his command was more than ready to deal with those who intend to deliberately break the law. Mr Kanganja, however, cautioned police officers against participating in active politics as their responsibility was to protect all members of the public irrespective of their political affiliation. H urged all political parties and the public to continue on the prevailing peaceful path by avoiding violence and other criminal activities. When he addressed parliament recently on the application of national values and principles, President Edgar Lungu assured the citizens that his Government would ensure that law and order prevailed during the elections.

Mr Chanda, who is PF Copperbelt chairman, said that the degazetting of the land meant that the area would now be re-planned for development by the Luanshya Municipal Council.

KAMBWILI TRICKERY EXPOSED From Page 1 “While we were waiting for the meeting Kambwili, in his cunning manner sent his officials to the Registrar to change the details on file to ensure that he reflected that he was President.” Edward Mumbi, said. while the Atanga faction was awaiting the promised meeting with Mr Kambwili, emissaries from Kambwili had been sent to the Registrar of Societies in an attempt to secretly change records. “This man is a criminal with no remorse. He will go to any extent to defeat the law, no wonder he was convicted.”” He said. But when contacted for a comment NDC spokesperson, Saboi Imboela said the party was only trying to remove officials who were no longer with them from the registrar’s documents. Ms Imboela said there was no need for the Atanga faction to be worried as they would not be removed from the documents. “The problem is that they think we want to remove them from the list but that’s not what we are doing. We are removing members like former secretary general Mwenya Musenge who are no longer with the party,” she said. In a seemingly good gesture to settle matters quietly, the Atanga group was asked to withdraw their court action seeking an injunction against Mr Kambwili and to particularly stop him from presenting himself as NDC president, for allegedly having
misused party funds and practicing unChristian rituals. Following the treachery, the Akafumbo faction , through their lawyers Japhet Zulu advocates have reistated the court case and have written to Mr Kambwili to stop masquerading as NDC president. “… upon registration of the NDC party, the Constitution that was initially registered required approval of Congress made up of 10, 000 delegates in order to operationalized. However given the failure to hold a congress the initial constitution was never operationalized,” the letter reads in part. Inquiries confirmed that the Registrar of Societies refused to entertain the emmisaries sent to make changes because “the state had appealed the matter in the Supreme Court.” This is the case where the state had appealed the restatement of NDC after it was deregistered. And acting NDC vice president, Edward Mumbi, who rushed to the Registrar of Societies when they got wind of what was going on, yesterday said he was shocked to find people at the offices trying to change details of the party. “They took off when they saw me,” Mr Mumbi said. He confirmed that the NDC did not have a constitution as claimed by Mr Kambwili and that records would show that. Earlier, Ms Atanga had withdrawn the court case against Mr Kambwili in which she was seeking an injunction to stop him from masquerading as the party’s president. The notice of withdraw filed in the Lusaka High Court yesterday, came barely two days after Mr Kambwili announced the suspension of Ms Atanga and other officials for gross misconduct. Ms Atanga sued Mr Kambwili last Friday seeking a declaration that the former Roan Member of Parliament was legally expelled from the party where he served as interim president.
Cabinet takes Cannabis Bill to parley By AARON CHIYANZO CABINET has approved the publication and introduction in Parliament, during the current sitting, of the Cannabis Bill, 2021. Among the objectives of the Bill are to provide for the regulation of the cultivation, production, storage and distribution of cannabis for medicinal, scientific and research purposes. Chief Government spokesperson, Dora Siliya said Cabinet expects that the country would benefit both for medicinal purposes and economically through the enactment of the law on cannabis. Ms Siliya said Cabinet at the third cabinet meeting held virtually yesterday also approved for publication and introduction in Parliament during the current sitting, a Bill entitled “The Industrial Hemp Bill, 2021.” She said the objects of this Bill were to provide for the licensing of cultivation, production, processing, storage, exportation, importation and distribution of industrial hemp; and provide for regulation of research in industrial hemp. “Cabinet is aware that Hemp has been used the world-over, for paper production, provision of all sorts of good building materials such as insulation, fibreboard and pressboard, and even be used to make hempcrete.
“Hemp has also been used in clothing including for providing material for shoes, jeans, and other tough sport clothing including hair oils and others. Hemp is also used as a viable feedstock for plastics production including for biofuel as cellulosic ethanol technology becomes more commercially viable worldwide,” said Ms Siliya in a statement. Ms Siliya said the Bill, when enacted by Parliament, would assist in boosting the economy in view of the broad industrial use of Hemp. She also said Cabinet approved for publication and introduction in Parliament of “The Electoral Process (Amendment) Bill 2021.” Ms Siliya said the objectives of this Bill are to provide for voting by persons in prisons or correctional centres; provide for distribution of campaign material in prisons and correctional centres by candidates in an election and provide for access to prisons or correctional centres by monitors, observers and polling agents on Election Day. She said it would also provide access to the community to vote in polling stations established in prisons and access to the community; and prohibit the announcement and declaration of results by unauthorised persons.

93.66KG GOLD MINED AT KASENSELI By SILUMESI MALUMO
Z
AMBIA Gold Company produced about 93.66 kg of gold just from its formative stage at Kasenseli in Mwinilunga last year, Mines and Mineral Development Minister Richard Musukwa has disclosed. Mr Musukwa said the company stated operations in May last year and managed to produce enough gold for the reserves. He said in an interview that this was a milestone
because the period in which the operations commenced was short but significant strides were made. Mr Musukwa said 47.9kg of gold was already deposited with the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) as of last December 31 According to the minister, this was in an effort to build the country’s gold reserve to change the economic outlook. Mr Musukwa said: "It is hoped that this amount of gold production will go up going forward.”
"Zambia Gold Company commenced operations in May 2020 and I wish to commend the company for the job well done. And we expect production to continue to increase as the company enhances operations. "I want to continue to sound a warning that Government will not entertain illegal exploitation of gold and indeed other minerals in the mining sector," Mr Musukwa said. He said Government would ensure the resourc-

CEC acquisition to be tabled in Cabinet - minister By SILUMESI MALUMO ENERGY Minister Mathew Nkhuwa says the public debate over the acquisition of Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) will be discussed in Cabinet. Mr Nkhuwa said Government has heard calls to takeover CEC but it can only be done with Cabinet approval. He said in an interview yesterday there are legal brains to advise from
the Ministry of Energy, Energy Regulation Board, Zesco and the Attorney General so that a way forward can be found. Mr Nkhuwa said the acquisition of CEC would be a critical decision which needed advice from the legal team. The minister said Government needed to follow all the procedures so that things can be done in the right way. Energy expert Johnstone
Chikwanda has urged the government to consider compulsory acquisition of CEC or allow Zesco to increase its shareholding to majority to take control of the company.

UPND SLAMED FOR ‘HYPOCRISY’ By NATION REPORTER UPND should stop politics of regionalism because it is leading them to lose confidence in credible public institutions such as the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) which they are now accusing of biasness, Senior Chief Madzimawe has said. Senior Chief Madzimawe of the Ngoni was reacting to the protest by UPND over the increase in the number of registered voters in purported PF strongholds. He said the complaint based on regionalism from the UPND on the less number of registered voters in Southern Province is not going to assist them because political parties do not own the numbers. The Ngoni chief advised the UPND and other political parties to avoid attacking the ECZ based on the number of registered voters per province because it was for their own good. Senior Chief Madzimawe said it was unfortunate that the UPND was still promoting regional politics by protesting the high number of registered voters in PF strongholds. The traditional leader said in an interview that the UPND protest has the potential to raise unnecessary tension around regional votes that stakeholders had been trying hard to quash. He said instead of mending the wounds on regional voting, the UPND was trying to expose
the wounds to infection. “I don’t understand, complaining about the number of voters, do political parties own numbers, no they don’t own numbers. So I don't think on that premise politicians should be attacking ECZ because that exercise is as a result of what came out of the voter registration exercise,” Senior Chief Madzimawe said. He reminded the UPND that the term “stronghold” in the political circles did not mean ownership of a particular province because whoever wins an election automatically assumes ownership of all the provinces of Zambia. The traditional leader advised the UPND and other political parties to up their game and get the numbers needed to win the elections instead of complaining. Senior Chief Madzimawe added that campaigns would determine how the people would vote and not the number of voters per province. “It is the duty of all political players to play their part, voting based on tribe or region is something that everybody doesn't want, including the political parties, regionalism is not going to assist,” he said. Senior Chief Madzimawe urged political parties to have confidence in the ECZ and commend them for releasing the number of registered voters per province because it would enable them to plan how they would conduct the election campaigns.
sonable but needed to be tabled by Cabinet so that things can be done in a proper way. "You know I am a Cabinet Minister and what I say becomes a policy statement then the public will take it as it is. So this issue of acquiring CEC cannot be done by myself alone it is supposed to go through Cabinet then after that the nation can be informed on the way forward.”

FOCUS ON CORRUPTION ZAMBIANS must not allow themselves to be misled into thinking that the fight against corruption is a game of gymnastics as Information and Broadcasting Minister Dora Siliya says. This is because they could be led astray and lose sight of the bigger picture at play, that the corrupt individuals in the country could escape the long arm of the law. They should be made to appreciate that fighting corruption is serious business and not a shouting match among the political players. Ms Siliya raised an important point when she featured on ZNBC’s Sunday Interview programme that the fight had been corrupted to the level where politicians believed they could determine who was corrupt and who was not. She said this has frustrated the law enforcement agencies that were responsible for fighting corruption. "For me, I think we have corrupted the fight against corruption to a level now where we are demeaning it and it is not taken seriously because we talk about it in a manner outside those for fighting corruption," she said. Ms Siliya said it was unfortunate that some politicians had been shouting loudest on corruption, denting the image of the country to the outside world. She reminded such politicians to remember that corruption could not be fought in an irresponsible manner because it was not an event for grand-standing. We think their motive is to divert attention from the real issues at play which in the end distract people’s attention. President Edgar Lungu last weak bemoaned the tendency by some people to shout about corruption in Government and yet they have failed to provide any evidence to the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), Drug Enforcement Agency (DEC) and other law enforcement agencies. But as the President noted, these are the most corrupt for if they were not, they would have made use of the ACC and DEC by providing them with information on what they know. But because they thrive on playing to the gallery, they go around the world tarnishing the country’s image that there is rampant corruption condoned by the government. But we ought as a nation to take the fight against corruption to a new level, above partisan politics and not look at those accused through political lenses. This could well explain why when certain individuals are asked to account for suspected corrupt activities, some civil society organisations suddenly go mute. Their voices are only heard when it is someone in the government who is on the firing line. As Ms Siliya noted, the fact that people could hear and talk about corruption was a reflection of a Government system that works. She said Government has a system in place to trace those engaged in corrupt activities and ensure that they are made accountable. These are the institutions – ACC and DEC that Zambians must ensure are strengthened and made to be pro-active for the fight against corruption to be won. Politicians must not be allowed to hijack the anti-corruption crusade with their wild unsubstantiated statements. That is what Ms Siliya means by corruption being turned into a game of gymnastics.

PUBLIC ORDER ACT REVIEW NOT PRIORITY, SAYS GBM By SILUMESI MALUMO
T
HE Public Order Act (POA) should not be the issue of urgency as government needs to prioritise serious issues that affect all Zambians, Patriotic Front (PF) National Vice Chairperson for Mobilisation Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said. Mr Mwamba said the UPND Members of Parliament (MPs) threw away the progressive bill 10 which was supposed to amend the POA. He said it was important
that the Government addressed other progressive issues now and handle the POA after the August 12 general elections. Mr Mwamba, who is former UPND vice president for administration, said if it were not out of frustration by the UPND MPs, the law would had been worked on by now. "I think the UPND MPs are not sincere on national matters. If they wanted the Public Order Act to be amended they should have supported bill 10. Just because the bill 10 came from the Patriotic Front gov-
ernment all they could do is to frustrate the all process. "What I can say is that if they were reasonable enough they should have only dealt with contentious clauses then go with progressive ones like amendment of Public Order Act," Mr Mwamba said. Mr Mwamba said the amendment of the law did not see the light day because the UPND did not support it. "We cannot be going through the same things every time when there are other things which can be done," Mr Mwamba said.
Graft fight is not political gymnastics - Siliya By KETRA KALUNGA THE fight against corruption has in the country has been equated to political gymnastics, says Chief Government Spokesperson, Dora Silaya. Ms Siliya however said the fact that people could hear and talk about corruption was a reflection of a Government system that works. She said Government has a system in place to trace those engaged in corrupt activities and ensure that they are made accountable. Ms Siliya, who is also Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, was speaking on ZBNC Sunday Interview. She said the fight against corruption was an everyday part of the Government

Ms Siliya stated that the fight had been corrupted to the level where politicians believed they could determine who was corrupt and who was not.

"For me I think we have corrupted the fight against corruption to a level now where we are demeaning it and it is not taken seriously because we talk about it in a manner outside those for fighting corruption," she said.

tunate that some politicians had been shouting loudest on corruption, denting the image of the country to the outside world. She reminded such politicians to remember that corruption could not be fought in an irresponsible manner because it was not an event for grand-standing. "Some politicians feel they should hit their chest the highest and about the loudest so that somebody somewhere in the world should listen to them that my country is corrupt, my country is corrupt, "That is not how the fight against corruption works, the fight against corruption is there for people who are responsible it was an event," she said.
‘Price controls can hurt economy’ By BUUMBA CHIMBULU RE-INTRODUCING price control measures will destabilise the already struggling economy and should not be considered, says Social economist Kelvin Chisanga. Mr Chisanga explained that price control could be worse in the Zambian domestic market due to the size of the economy. He explained that the market actors could be led to a monopoly set up or be fostered into market dominance over certain commodities. Mr Chisanga said this in his write-up on sentiments that Zambia was now headed for price control measures following the escalating prices of goods in the country. “Price control will actually destabilise the local economy, what we need to throw in now are ideas on the fiscal and the monetary policies. “These two should firmly seek ways and modalities to speak with each other though monetary tools are basically most required to trigger substantial effects with our current economic situations,” he said. Mr Chisanga however ad-
mitted that the current price upset in the nation hinged strongly on the macroeconomic perspectives. He observed the need to harmonise certain policies for business houses to thrive as a way of dealing with the prevailing price escalation situation. “We cannot run away from the fact that the factors of production clearly determines directly on the output values in terms of the costs. “The market conditions usually also dictate the performance of supply and demands so controlling the market value of goods and services can hurt Zambia's market structures,” Mr Chisanga said. Recently, President Edgar Lungu said the escalating commodity prices are unjustified and could be caused by sabotage by some individuals. President Lungu said the situation was a source of worry for Government, hence the decision to thoroughly investigate the matter. Mr Lungu said this when he paid a courtesy call on Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba, who welcomed the investigation of the escalation of prices of essential
commodities. Expressing his concern that some indicators have shown that the rise in prices of goods is as a result of sabotage, President Lungu said Government was engaging suppliers to find a lasting solution to the problem.

EFF’s bid against ECZ’s roadmap dismissed By GRACE CHAILELESOETSA OPPOSITION Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party’s quest to challenge the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ)'s 2021 general election roadmap has hit a snag after the Lusaka High Court dismissed its application for leave to commence judicial review proceedings. EFF party president Kasonde Mwenda sued ECZ and the Attorney General, seeking judicial review that the 2021 general election roadmap be declared illegal, null and void. Mr Mwenda was seeking an order of certiorari, to move the High Court to quash the published roadmap and compel ECZ to prepare a new one which is rational and in conformity with the dictates of the Zambian law. In skeleton arguments in support of ex parte application for leave to apply for judicial review, Mr Mwenda argued that ECZ abrogated the Act when it directed the campaign period to run from May 24 to August, 2021. He stated that the given campaign period is two weeks short of the mandated three months period in pursuit to section 28 (3) of the Electoral Process Act, no. 35 of 2016. He wanted an order to compel the ECZ to extend and immediately resume voter registration for an additional month so that the prospective voters were not disfranchised as a result of time. But in a ruling rendered on February 26, this year, Mr Justice Zulu said that he was not satisfied that it was a proper case for the court to grant leave to commence judicial review .

MAIZE and other crops in Lukashya constituency in Kasama have been destroyed after floods wreaked havoc in some areas. Lukashya Member of Parliament (MP) George Chisanga and councillors in the affected wards have since engaged the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) on the matter. Mr Chisanga stated that the office of the District Commissioner for Kasama was also engaged to supply relief food to the victims of the floods. The affected areas are Musowa ward, Chimalilo area which is located in the major wet land together with other areas such as Mukumbe and Sande Mashiko. The areas are prone to flooding which usually
result in disasters during the rainy season. Mr Chisanga was speaking with the Daily Nation in an interview. "The DMMU have given us bags of mealie meal and arrangements are now being made to ferry the foods to the affected areas. I can also confirm that we are currently pushing for the supply of beans and other food stuffs," he said. Mr Chisanga said the procedure would include driving the relief food to a place called Mbusa where it would later be taken by boats to Chimalilo Mukumbe and Sande Mashiko. He observed that Musowa ward despite being affected by floods was lagging behind in terms of development, a situation he said his office had taken interest in. The MP, who has been in the office for four months now after
a by-election, said he had continued with the projects he said started before his election. He said that new projects such as the construction of schools at Mulubika, Sande Mashiko, and Maipambe had also started and that they were nearing completion. Mr Chisanga explained that he had embarked on the empowerment of youths who had ventured into agriculture and aqua culture. He said he supplied youths with seed and other implements that were needed to realise the aspirations of the young people. Mr Chisanga said the youths around the constituency had embarked on various activities as a response to the call he made during his campaign to work hard as the constituency had a huge agricultural and aqua culture potential.
‘DON’T BE TOO HARD ON SCHOOL FEES’
...allow instalments
T
HE Association for Fair Play Zambia President Lawrence Kaoma says stakeholders in the education sector should exercise leniency on the paying of school fees and other requirements. Mr Kaoma says parents should be allowed to pay in instalments so as to ensure children return to school rather than staying home over unpaid fees. Mr Kaoma said in a statement issued in Lusaka that the economic impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has left many struggling and barely surviving. He noted that a payment plan can be arranged with the parents based on how capable they are in covering the fees and on the number of children they have. “With the opening of schools

Chieftainess Chungu warns against tribal politics By STEPHEN MWEWA
I will not entertain politics of tribalism and regionalism in my chiefdom, Senior Chieftainess Chungu of Lupososhi district has warned. The chieftainess said politics of tribalism and regional-
ism, if entertained could bring division among Zambians. She said that she was concerned that some politicians lacked political will such that the only massage they preached was tribalism blended with hate speech against their political rivals. ''I will not entertain politi-
cians to come with tribalism, regionalism and hate speech against their political rivals, because if politics of that nature is entertained in my chiefdom and in the country at large, it can bring about decision among people,'' she said in an interview. Chieftainess Chungu said
politicians should sell their manifesto by telling people what they could do for the people in order to improve their life-style, once voted for. The traditional leader added that politicians should also focus on preaching the massage of uniting Zambians regardless of their tribe.
Dickson Jere gives water to Matero
New Luapula PF team upbeat
By NATION REPORTER
THE newly elected Luapula Province Patriotic Front (PF) leadership has promised to maximize votes for President Edgar Lungu and the ruling party in the forthcoming general elections. Luapula PF vice chairperson, Ronald Chitotela, pledged to spearhead party mobilisation activities in the region to ensure landslide victory for President Lungu in the August 12 elections. Mr Chitotela who is Pambashe Member of Parliament (MP) said working with newly elected chairperson Francis Musunga and the entire executive, they would roll out the ‘Seesa formula’ to ensure victory in the August 2021 general elections. “I want to assure everyone in the province that I will dedicate myself to hard work together with the chairman and the entire executive in regards to membership mobilisation.
LUSAKA lawyer, Dickson Jere has donated two boreholes to Matero Constituency to help ease water problems at the Mwamba Luchembe market and George Compound health post, which facing critical water problems. Mr Jere who is PF Matero Constituency aspiring candidate made the donation when he toured Lima Ward in Matero where he met area Councillor Francis Bwalya and the entire PF ward executive who informed him of the problems facing the area especially with water shortages. He also toured the newly constructed health post which has no electricity or water and the sister in charge pleaded with Jere to prioritize their post for water and electricity connection. “I came to see for myself the problems you are facing. Even before I become Mem-

ber of Parliament, I will drill the the two boreholes next week,” Jere said, adding that he has received support from well-wishers for his community work in Matero. Mr Jere also promised to engage ZESCO to connect the health post to the power lines which are few metres away from the site. He said the problem should be rectified soon as the health post caters for over 100 patients per day. He also announced his intention to contest the Matero parliamentary seat in this years elections on the ruling PF ticket.

“We promise nothing but to maximize the votes for PF and President Lungu, we shall maintain the status quo, I mean the Seesa Formula,” Mr Chitotela said. Meanwhile, former PF Luapula province Nickson Chilangwa has pledged to give his support to the newly elected provincial leadership. Mr Chilangwa who congratulated Mr Musunga, Mr Chitotela and members of the provincial executive committee, said
he ran a good race, passed the baton to the new provincial chairperson. ‘’I pledge to give my profound support to the newly elected Chairman MCC Francis Musunga, his Vice Hon.

President Lungu Commissioned Makeni Flyover Bridge
By STANSLOUS NGOSA
Chief Chitimbwa of the Lungu speaking people of Mpulungu district, Northern province, has endorsed the candidature of President Edgar Lungu in the August 12 general elections. The traditional leader says there is no reason to change government when the Patriotic Front administration is delivering on the campaign promises. Chief Chitimbwa said this yesterday when Minister of Water Development Sanitation and Environmental Protection Raphael Nakacinda paid a courtesy call on him. Mr. Nakacinda is in the province to inspect water infrastructure projects as part of his familiarization program. Chief Chitimbwa, who cited the improvement of water system, construction
of a secondary school and health facilities, says the PF administration deserves another mandate. "The PF and its leaders deserve another mandate because they are fulfilling the many aspirations of the people from national to district level," Chief Chitimbwa said Chief Chitimbwa urged his subjects and other well meaning citizens to vote for President Lungu for continuity. And Mr. Nakacinda has wondered why people would choose to politicise developmental projects that are done for the benefit of all. He says there is no need to politicise everything when development is being delivered and visible for all to see. The Minister further affirms that Government will ensure that all campaign promises are fulfilled.

CARTELS A MENACE ON ECONOMY - CCPC CCPC last year handled 10 cartel cases which were mainly from the agriculture, service, transport, aquaculture By BUUMBA CHIMBULU
C
ARTEL behaviour has remained a challenge on the economy especially with businesses trying to thrive in the Covid-19 era, says Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) Senior Public Relations Officer, Namukolo Kasumpa. Ms Kasumpa said CCPC last year fined members of Kasenengwa Small Scale Millers Association and Petroleum Transporters Association of Zambia for cartelistic behaviour. She said the CCPC last year handled 10 cartel cases which were mainly from the agriculture, service, transport, aquaculture and manufacturing sectors. Out of the 10 cases, two were finalised in the services
OVER the past few months, various tax-related cases have been disposed of by the courts of law. The authority has prevailed in these disputes pioneering a path to tax compliance for offenders. Last week, Professional Insurance Corporation (Z) Limited was ordered to pay the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) Value Added Tax (VAT) due to its salvage sales. The insurance firm had earlier argued that the sale of salvage motor vehicles was exempt from VAT and subsequently appealed to the Tax Appeals Tribunal which agreed with it. ZRA, being dissatisfied with the Ruling of the Tax Appeals Tribunal, Appealed to the Supreme Court arguing that the Tax Appeals Tribunal erred in law when it held that the sale of salvage vehicles was not an ordinary transaction of sale of goods and, therefore, was within the contemplation of the VAT Exemption Order, 2014, and secondly that the Tax Appeals Tribunal erred when it interpreted section 21(4) of the VAT Act, Cap 331 to mean that the Commissioner-General or ZRA is deemed or ought to know the inadequacy or the incorrectness of a return at the point of filing of such return.

and transport sectors with the remaining eight still under investigation. “The Commission imposed fines on members of both trade associations for cartelistic behaviour. “The Commission has intensified its cartel investiga-
tions by monitoring activities and enhancing its intelligence gathering activities in all key sectors of the economy,” she said in an update performance for the year 2020. Ms Kasumpa said CCPC last year conducted two dawn raids in the cement and aquaculture sectors at the premises of enterprises suspected to be involved in cartelistic conduct. “We continue to offer leniency under the leniency programme which accords firms involved in anti-competitive practices or agreements, total or partial immunity from prosecution and financial penalties, as reward for their cooperation with the Commission,” she explained. Last year, CCPC received three leniency applications and granted two under the Leniency Programme and this was done in consultation with
the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP). Ms Kasumpa explained that the Commission had continued to review the operations of different sectors and the conditions of competition and consumer protection under the research and market studies. Examples include the leather sector with findings indicating that approximately K26.4 million to K35.2 million worth of hides are lost per annum because of a poor collection and aggregation system. Ms Kasumpa said the Commission commenced two studies to determine the extent of the effects of Covid-19 on competition and consumer welfare. “The studies are expected to be concluded early 2021. Once concluded, members of the public will be informed of the findings,” she said.

Atlas Mara intent on digital evolution By BUUMBA CHIMBULU
ATLASMARA Zambia is taking advantage of digital banking evolution and will partner with organisations that are harnessing technology to improve service. This is according to the Atlasmara Zambia Managing Director, James Koni. Mr Koni said one of the goals as Atlas Mara Bank was to recognise the immense opportunities the digital revolution offered and the impact it had on the day to day transactions. He said this when announcing the first winner for the Atlas Mara, Nkwashi and Lafarge ‘Dream House Promotion’ dubbed ‘3 houses, 3 Ways to Win.” The third set of monthly prizes winners was announced and unveiled Ms Sonile Tembo from Livingstone as the first winner of the house at Nkwashi Estate. “One of our goals as Atlas Mara Bank is to recognise the immense opportunities the digital revolution offers and the impact it has on the day to day transactions as our customers use our products and services. “For instance our world

sale of salvage motor vehicles and that there was no intention whatsoever in the Exemption Order to extend the exemption to sale of salvage motor vehicles. Another case in point is the Mopani Copper Mines Plc. Following a transfer pricing audit, the tax authority established that the prices of copper sold by Mopani Copper Mines Plc to a related party within the Glencore International Group had been significantly lower than the price of copper sold to third parties. A tax assessment was issued by the Zambia Revenue Authority with a conclusion that the internal pricing had not
been determined in accordance with the arm’s length principle, and further that one of the purposes for mispricing had been to reduce tax liabilities. The mining giant Mopani copper mines appealed to the tax tribunal, and after the tribunal ruled in favor of the Zambia Revenue Authority, Mopani Copper mines challenged the decision of the Tribunal by way of an appeal to the supreme court. However, the supreme court also dismissed the mining giant's appeal and ruled in favor of the tax authority. From the corporates to individuals, the authority also had various cases disposed of

Mr Koni said what made the campaign more significant was that it was launched despite the economic impact of Covid-19 pandemic, which on the positive had significantly contributed to the increase use of the use of digital channels. Lafarge Zambia Chief Executive Officer, Jimmy Khan, said his company had partnered with Atlas Mara because it was at the forefront of digital innovation in the cement industry. Mr Khan said by providing convenience, safety and a more efficient way of buying cement; which had become more pronounced in the era of Covid-19. He urged all customers to continue participating in this campaign by buying 10 bags of cement through the digital platforms, Afridelivery and Tigmoo, as there were still two houses and monthly prizes to be won.
clared with the Zambia Revenue Authority three (3) bills of entry on their company profile using three (3) forged commercial invoices which provided that three (3) motor vehicles had been imported into Zambia by Salesians of Don Bosco, a Public Benefit Organisation exempted from paying taxes on certain categories of motor vehicles, when in fact the three vehicles were not imported by Salesians of Don Bosco. The duo were convicted on the 27th October 2020 and ordered to pay fines into court of K29,000.00 each in default to serve 9 months Simple Imprisonment. They defaulted paying the fines by 30th November 2020 which was the deadline given by the Court. Following their default, ZRA prosecutors applied to court for the two convicts to be arrested and taken to Isoka Correction Facility (Prison) to serve their term of imprisonment. The convicts have since been arrested and are now serving their prison terms. Other cases of similar nature were successfully prosecuted in Siavonga, Nakonde, and Livingstone. The Authority recently resolved to prosecute all smuggling-related offenses going forward.

It’s official: MCA’s car grant will attract 30 percent tax NAIROBI - The taxman has deflated the spirits of Members of County Assemblies after confirming that the car grants they received from the State will be taxed. In an advisory to the chairman of the Council of Governors (CoG) Chairman Martin Wambora, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) said the loan, which had been converted into a grant following a presidential decree, would attract a 30 percent income tax before hitting the accounts of MCAs. “On the issue of ‘car grant,’ since it is payable to the said employees in form of cash, it therefore qualifies as income from employment as ‘other allowances’,” said KRA’s Commissioner of Domestic Taxes Rispah Simiyu. Earlier, MCAs had protested the tax charge, noting that slapping the grant with an income tax of 30
percent would leave them with insufficient money for better cars. Initially, the money was given in the form of a loan, which President Kenyatta turned into a grant. The decision has since been backed by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). However, KRA noted that the tax payout would be in compliance with the law. Ms Simiyu said KRA issued the advisory following several inquiries from counties. Each MCA got a car grant of Sh2 million, which means that the State will pay Sh4.5 billion to the 2, 224 ward representatives. Governors were given the greenlight to convert the loan into a grant by SRC chair Lynn Mengich in line with President Kenyatta’s pledge to MCAs. Last week, however, Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakango raised concerns on the move. In a letter to SRC Chief Executive Officer Ann Gitau, Nyakango cautioned that most counties budgeted had for a car loan facility and not a grant. – THE STANDARD, Kenya.
‘Auction rate is the real market rate’ HARARE – The auction exchange rate represents the proper market trends contrary to the contrived perception that the parallel market signifies the “real exchange rate,” a senior Treasury official has said. Secretary for Finance and Economic Development George Guvamatanga, said this in his remarks during the 2021 monetary policy review webinar. He said the government was not happy with the extent of market indiscipline that has seen wanton and unjustified prices increase. This is despite the fact that the majority of key producers and importers get forex from the auction. Significant prices have been witnessed between December 2020 and January, and to an extent February this year, after the parallel market exchange rate rose slightly from $100 to around $110 to the US dollar. Following last week’s auction, the Zimbabwe dollar is now trading 0.1 percent lower against the US dollar at $83.88 from $83.75. Wild price increases, which threatened to
send inflation through the roof last year, were being triggered by exchange volatility, amid absence of a stable market rate. Guvamatanga said people must move away from the conception that the open market trend is the real exchange rate because such assumption is not supported by economic or empirical evidence. He admitted the parallel market rate should be higher than the official rate, but disagreed with huge margins that were being effected. He said as has happened in the recent past, price dynamics over the past couple of months signify market indiscipline, which leads to potential market failure. Without mincing his words, Guvamatanga said the government would not hesitate to intervene in the market to prevent failure if need be, though this was not the desired course of action. He said as has happened with mobile network operators on mobile money, the Government is capacitated to step in and restore sanity in the event of market failure. – THE HERALD, Zimbabwe.
KENYA REPAYMENT PAIN: HOW CREDITORS WILL SHARE OUT $9.1BN THE Exim Bank of China has now toppled the Trade and Development Bank (TDB) to become Kenya's largest external lender. This has elevated the Chinese government's bank to the top of the food chain on the list of creditors lining up for a piece of the Sh1 trillion ($9.1 billion) debt servicing fees in the new financial year. An analysis of the latest debt data from the National Treasury has also revealed that commercial lenders have outpaced the traditional,
bilateral, multilateral and concessional lenders, who offered cheaper and more patient credit with more flexible repayment terms. This underlines the unrelenting march to the East for more readily available infrastructure-backed loans, in a shift that has pushed Western countries on the periphery and further down on the list of big lenders to Nairobi. The Jubilee government's unparalleled borrowing spree has now for the first time pushed Kenya's annual debt-servicing expenses
above the Sh1 trillion mark in the 2021/22 financial year, up from the current Sh958 billion ($8.7 billion). Interest on external debt will consume Sh166.8 billion ($1.5 billion), while domestic loans will attract interest of Sh370.4 billion ($3.3 billion) on bonds and bills. In total, interest will account for Sh537 billion ($4.9 billion), which is 52 percent of the total cost of debt. On its part, the government will spend Sh486.2 billion on debt redemptions, which is equivalent to repaying the principal. This will be
shared almost equally among the internal and external debt redemptions. So who will receive most of the debt servicing billions? After the Jubilee government started fundraising for its infrastructure projects, western countries that initially gave loans but with 'interference in domestic matters' started fading out of the biggest creditors to Kenya as Nairobi was turning towards the East. This is how China came to the table and has since edged out other creditors. – STANDARD, Kenya.
Sceptical Moody's sees SA debt burden rising JOHANNESBURG Ratings agency Moody's is not convinced that government will be able to toe the line when it comes to spending and sees the debt burden rising over the next three years. Moody's issued a research report on the recently tabled national budget. The ratings agency has South Africa rated at sub-investment grade Ba2, with a negative outlook. It noted that government had lowered the deficit forecasts, given higher-than-expected tax revenue collections in the latter part of 2020 and a milder contraction to GDP.
But it viewed the adjustments as "modest" and unable to arrest the growing debt burden. According to the budget review, government expects the debt-to-GDP to stabilise at 88.9 percent of GDP in 2025/26. Treasury sees the
consolidated budget deficit reaching a record 14 percent of GDP (compared to 15.7 percent forecasted previously) in the 2020/21 fiscal year and expects it to narrow to 6.3 percent of GDP in 2023/24. Currently, debt servicing
costs account for 13.4 percent spend in the budget or about R270 billion – arguably crowding out spend for social services like health and education. Despite a lower deficit forecast, Moody's still sees government's debt burden reaching 100 percent of GDP by 2024. It warned of a "slower pace of fiscal consolidation and wider deficits" due to expectations of higher primary spending - like wages - and interest spending. "Moreover, uncertainty over the pace of the economic recovery and the capacity of the government to limit spending (especially interest payments and support
Ramaphosa’s master plan looks to pluck small poultry businesses out of the doldrums JOHANNESBURG Government officials and partners said during a webinar that one of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s industrial master plans was already gathering steam, with small, medium and micro-enterprises (SMMEs) in the poultry industry receiving support. The poultry master plan is one of multiple master plans announced by Ramaphosa during his State of The Nation Addressed (SONA) aimed at supporting local businesses in line with his Economic Reconstruction and Recovery
Plan tabled in October, which seeks to guide South Africa towards economic recovery. The advent of the Covid-19 pandemic and the national lockdown aimed at curbing the spread of the virus last year devastated the South African economy and prompted unemployment numbers to surge with little sign of apparent recovery in sight. During his SONA earlier this month, Ramaphosa said four master plans were completed and signed as part of the social compact between labour, business, government and communities - one of
Cyril Ramaphosa
them aimed at boosting the poultry industry. “Through the implementation of the poultry master plan, the industry has invested R800 million to upgrade production. South Africa now produces an additional one million chickens every week,” said Ramaphosa. Two weeks later, Finance Minister Tito Mboweni told Parliament during his Budget
speech that making business easier for businesses was key to positioning the South African economy for recovery in the year ahead. “The Department of Small Business Development has allocated R4 billion over the medium term to township and rural enterprises, including blended finance initiatives,” said Mboweni. . – FIN24.

Arrest social media patrons maliciously tarnishing the image of President Lungu and PF Dear Editor, AS we count down to the much anticipated elections, the political competitors have adopted a smear campaign and they are determined to use all possible means to acquire state power. After realising the overwhelming popularity that President Edgar Lungu has amassed, they cannot humbly concede defeat but resort to using underhand methods to tarnish his image. The weekend was awash with a masked individual issuing uncoordinated statements while prominently displaying the money and issuing unprintables against the perceived political enemies. Our preliminary investigations have established that individual in question is nicknamed “Cisco” and he is a UPND sympathiser based on the Copperbelt. Clearly, he is based on the Copperbelt and he is Bemba-speaking (as opposed to the local languages spoken in Eastern Province) therefore the probability of him having any direct interests in the Petauke intra party affairs is so slim. Our other observation is that while he is putting on the PF regalia, the character in the video had not properly identified himself on how he has direct or indirect affiliation. This is a stage-managed video which is meant to bring the name of the President, PF officials and the party into disrepute. It has become fashionable for criminals to use the name of the President and the party in vain to commit offences. The President has been firm and he has always guided us in the PF to be law abiding citizens therefore such conduct falls below the standard prescribed by the President. We have no doubt this is meant to bring the President into disrepute and to push the opposition narrative and gain political advantage. Perhaps criminals are taking advantage of the absence of the yet to be enacted Cyber Security laws to use the veil of their online presence to commit offences. We urge the police and the Zambia Information Communisation Technology Authority (ZICTA) to proactively instituter investigations and fish out the individual misrepresenting the party and bring him to face the law. We do not believe the individual misusing social media for whatever motive is PF, he should be an opposition operative using the party, the President and the PF regalia to pursue interests of the opposition. MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Lusaka.
THE PROBLEM WITH LAWYERS AND 3RD TERM
Dear Editor,
T
HE third term debate has fallen into a legal quagmire among lawyers b e -
cause
they love making nonsensical arguments in advancing their cause in the hope that it may gain some traction and credibility. Sometimes they advance the most illogical arguments. KBF like all lawyers take argumentation as a professional trade. The simple narrative which the constitutional court has advanced is logical and makes mathematical sense. A Presidential term is 5 years. Two terms is 10 years. In short 5+5=10. Mr. Lungu has served 7 years, in short he has served 5+2=7 years. Anybody who has been to Secondary school knows the principle of rounding off number to determine s i g -
nificance. It follow therefore that 2 is less than half of five and is therefore insignificant. On the other hand If Mr. Lungu had served for 3 years which is more than half of 5, he would have been deemed to have served a term. Mathematically and therefore scientifically the Constitutional court was on very firm ground in making the determination with reference of term of office without even referring to President Lungu who was not party to the suit. There is no way that 2=5. Two terms is 5+5=10 and indeed anything lower is certainly open to interpretation one way or the other. The constitutional court took the most logical, mathematical and wise decision which is self-explanatory except to those who have no wish to face the truth because of their selfish interest. The third term obsession is not new, neither are the campaigners! For some inexplicable reasons which truly defy logic, some mythical quality has been attached to terms of office. This is not obsession
in most developed countries including UK, Germany and others where a leadership determination is based on service. For as long as a leader is able to serve diligently, they are allowed to serve for as many terms. There are indeed many countries where Presidents have extended their terms of office for one reason or another. Term limits have been ignored or indeed circumvented, in the case of Uganda for President Museveni to serve for 36 years and here we are haggling over 2 years. Lets be serious. Let the people decide in an election and not for busybodies who have no interest of the nation at heart. As for KBF, he is better off keeping quite because his conduct is very well known. There is not much to endear him to electorate, more so that he was expelled from the PF where he could have made a mark. It is knt too late, he can form his own party and contest instead of spoiling for others. BOYD MUSONDA
Allocation of farming area Dear Editor, ALLOW me space to commend the government and President Edgar Lungu for giving ex-miners in Mufulira land in the Njiri Forest for their farming activities. This is highly commendable and the President should caution his public officers not to develop ideas on the same land
as has happened in the Nsato Forest in Mufulira where the same land which was given to former miners, retirees and settlers by the late President Levy Patrick Mwanawasa in a similar circumstance has been allegedly sold to an investor. This has brought a lot of confusion in the area and there are clashes amongst farmers almost on a daily basis. Please, the authorities should do something to address the situation before lives are lost. Best Regards, CHUSHI MWENGE.
Video circulating is fake and designed to cause public ourtage against me and ruling PF Dear Editor, I HAVE noted with alarm a video circulating showing a person purporting to be a PF cadre alleging that I have given him money to discredit others. It is clear that this video has been staged for nefarious and depraved political reasons. The perpetrators designed it to elicit public outrage and contempt targeted against myself and the ruling Patriotic Front. For this reason, I have lodged in an official complaint to the Zambia Police to help establish the criminals behind this video and bring them to book. Zambians must reject this kind of behaviour, politics which tarnish the image of our country. This is the reason that Government wishes to pass the Cyber Crime Bill so that cyber space is not used and abused, injure other people’s reputation and that it must remain a safe place for all, especially children, girls and women. I am urging the Police to take interest and expeditiously address my complaint against perpetrators of such crimes.

ALL public, private and community schools are under the Ministry of Education and so should not come up with rules without consulting parents the parents, Kitwe District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) Christopher Nyungila has warned. Mr Nyungila said all school rules should be agreed upon with parents who were the major stakeholders to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding and ensure smooth running of the school programmes. He was speaking after receiving reports that some schools, especially private institutions, were forcing parents to buy uniforms from them. He said was illegal to force parents to buy uniforms from schools and that school authorities involved in such
illegal activities should be reported to the DEBS office. Mr Nyungila said he would not entertain private schools which were coming up with rules to exploit parents who were sacrificing so much for their children to go to school. He said he would ensure that schools, public, private and community were being run in the interest of the parents who were the major stakeholders. "Parents are sacrificing too much for their parents to go to school and so it is not good for private schools to come up with rules that will exploit them to the bone. No, this will not be entertained. I will not allow it,'' he said. He also said grade nine pupils who have now managed to have full grade 10 Certificate after rewriting were all allowed to proceed to grade 10 at their schools of choice.

CATTLE RUSTLERS INVADE MONZE M By ANDREW MUKOMA
onze District has been experiencing a high rate of cattle rustling, a situation which has caused worry. Southern Province Minister, Edify Hamukale,
has thus issued a stern warning to perpetrators that the law would catch up with them. Dr Hamukale charged that the vice was rampant and that perpetrators were depriving owners of animals, which were a rich resource. He has called for closer
collaboration and support from the local community in fighting the rising cases of cattle rustling, which was threatening the livestock sector. The Minister was speaking during a stakeholders meeting in Monze at the weekend. Dr Hamukale directed
the Zambia Police and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks to work together to fight cattle theft especially in Chief Hamusonde’ area. He said that the institutions must work together in order to address the problem.
UPND Livingstone aspiring parliamentary candidate Rodney Sikumba has encouraged citizens to champion the importance of girl child in society. Mr Sikumba said that this will help address the negative influence that is portrayed against the girl child such as early marriages and child labour. He observed that the church has a critical role to play and speak out against these vices. Mr Sikumba, who is former Livingstone Tourism Association (LTA) chairman, urged parents to continue encouraging girls to be active members of groups such as the Girls Brigade in the United Church of Zambia (UCZ). He was speaking during the enrolment and rededication service of first Livingstone Girls Brigade Company at Coillard Memorial Congregation of the UCZ on Sunday.

“It is our duty to teach the girls to be mature Christian women in our homes and community so that they can be responsible as well as being obedient children of God,” he said. The UPND aspirant recognized the fundamental role the Girls Brigade played in shaping the girls become responsible, mature and God fearing women. MR SIKUMBA
“It is our duty to teach the girls to be mature Christian women in our homes and community so that they can be responsible as well as being obedient children of God,” Mr Sikumba said that the occasion would help congregants to redefine the way they conduct themselves in the community and society as a whole. The service was administered by Reverend Morgan Mambwe who congratulated the newly recruited brigades.
Lstone youths calls for unity in PF …while opposition fight
THE Patriotic Front (PF) youth wing in Livingstone has called on Zambians not to pay attention to the confusion in the opposition political parties. PF District Youth Chairman, Eddie Chomba, said the confusion that has rocked the NDC should not steal the limelight from the citizens. Mr Chomba noted that as the PF Youth wing led by him as Chairman and Ikuka Muleta as constituency youth chairman, would take advantage and mobilize its members to strengthen the ruling party. He said that August was near and therefore, paying attention to the NDC -UPND confusion would not benefit anyone. Mr Chomba, therefore, advised Zambians not to be fooled by the opposition's failed alliance. He was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation in Livingstone yesterday. Mr Chomba charged that
from the onset, he knew very well that Chishimba Kambwili and Hakainde Hichilema could not work together. "As PF, we knew very well that that alliance was a sham and a non-starter so, we are not surprised to see the drama unfolding. We expected that. "My only message to my
fellow citizens is that, let us not pay attention to the confusion which has engulfed the opposition because there are no benefits in it," Mr Chomba said. And Mr Muleta has called on the PF general membership to take advantage of the confusion in the opposition to strengthen the party.

Coaching flaws From Page 16
Shambulo said in an interview that the frequent change of coaches has seen Zambia fail to come up with a consistent team which can compete at continental level. Shambulo said inconsistencies in team management in the last four years has seen Zambia struggle to qualify for the Africa Cup because every time a new coach is engaged, they come with a new philosophy and disturb the progress the team may have made. “When you start a race, you finish with the same horse. Should you change in between then you are bringing confusion in the team because whichever coach you pick will come and change the team and come up with another squad so there was no continuity. We had a problem because of inconsistency in the team management,” Shambulo said Shambulo a City of Lusaka and Chipolopolo legend said there is need to give the current Chipolopolo coach enough time to achieve the set objectives. He said Zambia can still qualify for the AFCON despite having a slim chance with two games remaining to conclude the qualifiers. “Now that we have a coach we should give him enough time and give him the bench
marks to say qualify us to the World Cup, qualify us to the Africa Cup, should he fail to do that then we can part company but he should have been given a grace period of not less than three years,” Shambulo said. “The chances are slim but from my own experience if we can put our heads together and bring up the best players we can still win the remaining games. We surely have hope.” Shambulo said there is need for national team coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic to assemble a strong squad of local players who will complement international stars during international fixtures. Meanwhile, Zambia Sports Fans Association patron Peter Makembo has hailed FAZ councillors for holding peaceful elections which ushered in a new executive led by Andrew Kamanga. Makembo who closed the elective annual general meeting on Saturday with a powerful prayer after Kamanga was declared president, said time has come for the association to focus on developing the Zambian game. He said Zambia has had an equal share of success at both club and national team levels but there is need to work hard to see the senior national team improve.

Kamanga said pushing the drive for financial independence of the association will help it fully implement its programmes without looking out for occasional hand-outs. Kamanga who was re-elected during the delayed elective general meeting on Saturday in Livingstone said the marked increase in revenue from 2018 to 2019 significantly helped to reduce the operational deficit. “I believe the financial reports gave greater hope that with strict accountability and transparency we can accelerate our drive towards financial independence. There are few things as close to my heart as pushing the drive for financial independence of the association. “We have the US$10 million Chipolopolo bond on the cards that we believe once we are given clearance to actualise it will take us closer to financial independence. This is going to be one of the key areas in the next four years,” Kamanga said. Meanwhile, Kamanga said the executive will continue to invest heavily in the grassroots and women football to ensure that it now build on the foundation we have laid in line with our 10year strategic plan. He has congratulated the new FAZ executive committee members for being elected to office for the next four years. Kamanga said the new executive is a perfect blend of youth and experience to ensure that Zambian football is taken to the next level. He said FAZ still make use of the candidates who lost out during the FAZ elections in various positions to make football the ultimate winner.

DJOKOVIC TIES FEDERER RECORD OF 310 WEEKS AS ATP NO 1
N
OVAK Djokovic matched Roger Federer's alltime record for the most weeks as ATP world number one yesterday, holding the top spot for the 310th week. Djokovic's ninth Australian Open title last month ensured the 18-time Grand Slam champion will surpass Federer's record next week. The Serb reclaimed the top ranking from Rafael Nadal in February 2020 and finished as year-end number one for the sixth time, tying the mark set by Pete Sampras. This is Djokovic's fifth different stint atop the rankings. He spent 122 consecutive weeks as number one between July 2014 and November 2016. That record is currently
held by Federer (237). The only change in the top 20 yesterday saw David Goffin, who won his first title in over three years at Montpellier on Sunday, rise one spot to 14th at the expense of Milos Raonic.

Chipata Beetles storm PFL Cup semis Several arrests after By MICHAEL MIYOBA
CHIPATA Boys and Siavonga Beetles displayed some brilliant skills over the weekend to reach the semifinals of the Premier Futsal League (PFL) Cup after defeating Zanaco and Livingstone Pirates in their respective quarter final games. Chipata Boys shocked Zanaco 4-2 while Siavonga Beetles eliminated Livingstone Pirates following a 4-3 defeat in a tightly contested quarter final match at Automotive Indoor Futsal Arena. Livingstone Pirates were the favourites to advance to the semifinals before they were
stunned by Beetles while Zanaco’s defeat to Chipapa Boys disturbed the Banker’s ambitions to make history by becoming the only team from the National Division one league to reach the semifinals. Meanwhile, PFL champions Automotive FC beat rivals Kabwe K-Line 8-4 to advance to the next round of the PFL Cup. The defeat to Auto provoked Kabwe K-Line coach Khalil Mohamed K-Line Futsal who also praised his boys for showing a lot of determination in the quarter final match. “We played well. I’m proud of my boys because Automotive is a
strong team but we will get there one day,” Mohammed said. It was the third time K-Line lost to Automotive having recorded a double defeat in the league where they lost 4-1 and 7-1 in Week 3 and Week 12 of the Premier League. In the other PFL Cup fixture played over the weekend, Kitwe Bullets humiliated CSS Petauke 7-2 to reach the last four of the competition. Full results: Chipata Boys 4-2 Zanaco Kitwe Bullets 7-2 CSS Petauke Automotive FC 8-4 Kabwe K-Line Livingstone Pirates 3-4 Siavonga Beetles
Rory McIlroy and Phil Mickelson support 'truly helping' Tiger Woods TIGER Woods expressed his gratitude after seeing several male and female golfers show their support on Sunday. Former world number one Rory McIlroy was among those who wore red and black - the colours Woods is known for wearing in the tournament final rounds. The 15-time major winner, 45, is recovering from leg injuries sustained in a car accident last Tuesday. "It is hard to explain how touching today was when I turned on the TV and saw all the red shirts," Woods tweeted. "To every golfer and every fan, you are truly helping me get through this
tough time." McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Patrick Reed and Tony Finau were among those who wore red and black while competing at the WGC-Workday Championship in Florida, which was won by USA's Collin Morikawa. Phil Mickelson did the same
raids at FC Barcelona
POLICE raided the offices of FC Barcelona yesterday, carrying out several arrests just six days ahead of the club's presidential elections, a Catalan regional police spokesman told AFP. Spain's Cadena Ser radio said one of those arrested was former club president Josep Maria Bartomeu, who resigned in October, along with CEO Oscar Grau and the club's head of legal services. But the police refused to confirm names, saying only "arrests are taking place" and adding that the operation was being run by officers from the financial crimes unit. "We are in the process of carrying out an operation right now with agents of the financial crimes unit," the police spokesman told AFP. According to reports in the Spanish media, the operation is linked to last year's investigation into the 'BarcaGate' scandal, in which the club denied hiring a company to criticise current and former players on social media to improve the image of the then-president Bartomeu. Lionel Messi, Pep Guardiola and Xavi Hernandez were among those allegedly targeted by the campaign. Messi described the controversy as "strange" in an interview with Catalan newspaper Mundo Deportivo. – AFP.
at a PGA Tour Champions event in Arizona, as did Annika Sorenstam at the LPGA's Gainbridge Championship. "I guess for us it's just a gesture to let him know that we're thinking about him and we're rooting for him," said McIlroy, 31. "Things are looking a little
better today than they were on Tuesday, but he's still got a ways to go. "If there was no Tiger Woods, I just think the tour and the game of golf in general would be in a worse place. He's meant a lot to us; he still does mean a lot to us." . – BBC.
