HH LET PENSIONERS SUFFER, HE CAN’T RESCUE ZAMBIANS - MWANZA By NATION REPORTER

AKAINDE Hichilema cannot rescue the country when the cries of innocent pensioners, some of whom have died because of being left destitute after the ‘mishandled’ privatization process are still hovering on his head, some opposition party leaders have said. They said the “merciless” manner in which Mr Hichilema and his cronies enriched themselves from the privatisation of State owned enterprises proves that the clique was up to no good. This follows claims

by the UPND leader, Mr Hichilema that he was ready to rescue Zambians and provide them with a better livelihood. Citizen’s Democratic Party president, Robert Mwanza said a man who had mismanaged the privatization process cannot be trusted with the entire country. Mr Mwanza said entrusting Mr Hichilema with power would be tantamount to auctioning the country. “The man cannot be trusted. Giving him the instruments of power would be tantamount to auctioning the country,” he said. Mr Mwanza said the families left behind by hundreds of pensioners who died out of frustrations of losing their lifesavings were still living in abject poverty without any help from the people who showered them with misery. And Zambian DNA

spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa said it would be a ‘grave’ mistake to entrust Mr Hichilema with the instruments of power. Mr Mulemwa however said Zambians were clever enough not to fall into a trap of destitution by handing power to Mr Hichilema. “We are confident that in view of the massive infrastructure developmental projects rolled out in all parts of the country, the Zambians will renew President Edgar Lungu’s mandate to govern in 2021 polls. “We are not surprised by those claiming that there will be a change of Government in 2021 as they have been rejected by the Zambian people several times in the past, and we are confident that they will be rejected once again by the Zambian people in preference for President Lungu and PF,” he said.

Days numbered for criminals, says Kampyongo By SIMON MUNTEMBA WE are shrinking space for all criminally-minded people in Zambia and with the completion of the Safe City Project, their days are numbered, Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo has said. And Mr Kampyongo has disclosed that Construction of the Lusaka Command Centre is about 90 percent complete. The Safe City Project, under which several surveillance cameras have been installed across the city, has become operational, but yet to be formally inaugurated. Mr Kampyongo said the Safe City project which is aimed at enhancing security surveillance, secure the life and property of the city’s residents, as well as counter a terrorist activity effectively and

efficiently will soon be commissioned by President Edgar Lungu. He said that once the project was complete, fighting criminals would be very easy in Zambia. The minister said that Police will no longer rely on eye witnesses but would be using scientific analysis to track down and arrest criminals. “As the name suggests, our desire as Government is to make our city and

Mental assessment report for Tasila’s suspected killer not ready, says defence team By GRACE CHAILE_LESOETSA THE Lusaka High Court yesterday adjourned the matter in which a Zambia Army officer Lieutenant Nigel Mwaba is accused of killing Dr Tasila Tembo, because his mental assessment report was not ready. On February 1, this year,

Mwaba pleaded not guilty to one count of murder before High Court Judge Wilfred Muma. The defence lawyers applied that the accused be taken to Chainama Hospital for assessment for a condition or conditions of disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorder.

communities safe. When you hear President Edgar Lungu assuring his people that we are going to ensure that we are going to maintain peace and order of this country, it is because of what we have put in place. Meanwhile, Safe City Project vice manager Luvious Musonda said the installed surveillance cameras will assist law enforcement agencies to identify and detect vehicle theft, robberies and making

identification of criminals, nuisance and violators in the capital city. Mr Musonda said the system was also capable of facial recognition, and can read vehicle registration plates, as well as detect traffic violations and trace violators using the database. He disclosed that cameras have been installed at around entry and exit points, key intersections, convergence points and near important buildings.

The condition is a disorder that can cause a person to behave angrily or aggressively toward people or property. The application was granted and the matter was adjourned to yesterday. But when the matter came-up yesterday, the defence lawyer from Legal aid Board, Dr O’Brien Kaaba, told the Court that the report was not ready and asked for an adjournment. Mr Justice Muma asked the defence team if they found out from Chainama Hospital how long it would take to have the report ready to avoid deferments of the

matter. In response, Dr Kaaba told the Court that the hospital said Mwaba’s condition takes three months assessment but depending on the accused interaction with the doctor, it could be compressed to a fewer months. Mr Justice Muma then adjourned the matter to March 11 for mention and possible commencement of trial. Mwaba is alleged to have shot and dismembered Dr Tembo’s body, which was later discovered by police in a decomposed state and covered with leaves, in Lusaka’s Mikango Barracks area.

Soldier, cops charged over US$160, 000 theft from Kambwili By CHARLES MUSONDA A ZAMBIA Army soldier and two police officers have been charged with six people who were initially arrested for alleged theft of US$160, 000 from National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili’s house in Lusaka. The soldier has been identified as Jacob Sinadambwe of Arakan Barracks and husband of Esther Mumeka, Mr. Kambwili’s maid who was the second person to be arrested and charged over the theft while the police officers have been identified as Ian Kalunga, a sergeant based at police headquarters and Daniel Zimba, a retired officer of Manchinchi Road in Northmead, Lusaka. This came to light yesterday when all the nine accused persons denied the charge before Lusaka Magistrate Nthandose Chabala. Other accused persons are Rodney Ntanga, 47, a gardener of Kamwala South, George Bwalya, 49, a driver of Hellen Kaunda, Millan

Another ‘fishy’ contract exposed FROM PAGE 1 The Certified Fraud Examiner’s Manual states that cover bidding occurs when a competitor submits bids that are intended to be unsuccessful so that another conspirator can win the contract. According to the report, on March 25, 2020, the Ministry of Health Evaluation Committee through its Ministerial Procurement Committee (MPC) Paper No. 094 of 2020 evaluated four bids for the supply of specialised equipment to support management of the Covid-19. It states that the Ministry of Health Procurement and Evaluation Committee recommended the awarding of the contract to the lowest bidder at a contract sum of K9, 344, 400.

The other one is 23-yearold student Stacey Jane Jones of Rockfield Chalala and a close friend of Mr. Kambwili’s daughter, Chanda. In the first count Jones, Kalunga, Zimba, and Sinadambwe have been charged with theft contrary to Section 272 of the Penal Code and particulars of offence are that between December 14 and 27, 2020 while acting with others they stole US$160, 000 property of Mr. Kambwili. In count two Ntanga, Mumeka, Bwalya, Chembe, and Kamutengo have been charged with theft by servant contrary to Sections 272 and 278 of the Penal Code and particulars of offence are that between the same dates while acting with others they stole US$ 160, 000 belonging to Mr. Kambwili, their employer. The case comes up on March 1, 2021 for mention and trial has been set for March 15, 2021. Ms. Chabala has granted Ntanga, Mumeka, and Zimba cash bail of K5, 000 each with two sureties working for reputable organisations within Lusaka who will be bound in the sum of K30, 000 in their own recognizance while the rest are on police bond.

scrutiny of the bids submitted revealed that out of the four bids, three bids shared the same details. It states that two of the bids shared the same contact person, email address, and contact phone number and that one of the directors in one company was also a director in the other company. Chairperson of the committee, Howard Kunda directed the Ministry of Health to ensure that stern action was taken against officers involved in the “lawlessness.” Mr Kunda advised the new permanent secretary for administration at the ministry to ensure proper procedures were followed. And a member of the committee, Mr Kalalwe Mukosa said it was a blunder for the ministry to have allowed the contract to be awarded without proper competition requirements. Mr Mukosa, who is Chinsali MP said it was very questionable that the three companies were interlinked. Chavuma MP, Victor Lumayi questioned why procurement procedures were being ignored with impunity. In response, Mr Malama said he could not comment much because his office was not responsible for administrative matters.

TAZARA suffers ZAMBIA, ZIM AGREE ON VIC losses - State FALLS BORDER RESTRICTION From Page 1

Mr Lungu said Tazara was currently transporting 250, 000 metric tonnes of cargo per annum against the required 600, 000 metric tonnes for the company to operate profitably. He however said Government had engaged the World Bank to carry out visibility studies on how to make the Tanzania -Zambia Railway Authority (Tazara) operate profitably. He said efforts were made earlier to restructure

“One of the projects that it was tasked to invest in is the production of Mill balls used in the processing of copper and supply to mines to sustain its operations,” Mr Lungu said. Tazara to make it operate profitably which led to increased cargo haulage from 89, 000 to 250, 000 metric tonnes per year. Mr Lungu also said the decision by Government that 30 percent of cargo be transported via rail had helped capitalise Tazara. He however said more needed to be done to ensure Tazara was not dependent on government support. “Tazara is a business venture, it needs to make money and support itself so the government will not treat it like a hospital which waits for support from the state,” Mr Lungu said.

He said Tazara should generate funds to pay workers and sustain its operations. And Mr Lungu said Government had released K21 million for recapitalisation of Tazara. Mr Lungu said as a business venture, the firm should operate sustainably and not depend on Government for payment of salaries. He said Government in 2016 released US$11 million to Tazara to invest in short and medium term projects to help the institution revamp its operations. "One of the projects that it was tasked to invest in is the production of Mill balls used in the processing of copper and supply to mines to sustain its operations," Mr Lungu said. Mr Lungu said part of the money was used to pay retirees and for their fuel debt. He said Government's focus is to ensure that Tazara becomes self-sustaining. He said the Council of Ministers from Zambia and Tanzania in 2018 agreed to recapitalise Tazara with US$9.74 million to enable Tazara to procure 100 wagon and 10 locomotive trains. Mr Lungu said part of the money was used to pay retirees and pay for their fuel debt. Mr Lungu also said fluctuation of the currencies was affecting the operations of Tazara because it has been dollarised. He said Government was working towards de-dollarisation to start using local currencies of the two countries.

By PETER SICHALI THE decision by UPND to sing the national anthem in Tonga during the opening of their General Assembly on Sunday has been received with mixed feelings. Stakeholders have questioned why the national anthem should be sung in a particular local language at a national event when the event was national. Young African Leaders Initiative president Andrew Ntewewe said singing the

national anthem in Tonga at a national event when the country had an official language was confirmation that UPND was a tribal party. Mr Ntewewe said the party’s general assembly was a national event and it was expected that the national anthem would be sang in the official language, English.

Meanwhile, a PF member, Chrisantius Changwereza said it was folly for the UPND to sing the national anthem in Tonga at their general assembly because the party was already carrying a tribal tag.

SUPPORT LOCAL OWNERSHIP GOVERNMENT’S resolve to raise local participation in critical sectors of the economy has come at an appropriate time. In many instances, foreign investors have left the country after reaping sufficient profits within a period of tax holidays. It is also true that investors’ primary focus is to make maximum profit and they usually do not have any interest for the locals. Therefore, it is justified that Zambia is moving towards placing locals at the helm of critical industries such as mining. So far, Konkola Copper Mines (KCM) and Mopani Copper Mines are in the hands of Zambians with locals at the helm of the firms. It is also gratifying that Kansanshi Mine has a Zambian chief executive officer. Zambians should thus support local ownership and ignore armchair critics, who are advocating for foreigners to take over running of the mining firms. They have been punching holes in every action Government takes to secure critical sectors of the economy. Lately, there have been misleading statements from some quarters about the Mopani Copper Mines transaction, in which ZCCM-IH negotiated increased stake to 100 per cent. Some politicians and other stakeholders have erroneously been referring to the sale agreement between ZCCM-IH and Glencore International as nationalisation. Citizens and politicians in particular ought to debate this matter truthfully and give credit where it is due. There is absolutely no need for any one quarter to start punching holes in the deal, thereby sending negative sentiments in the economy. Government has not nationalised Mopani, but Glencore International opted out of the mining firm and offered ZCCM-IH the shares. This means that Glencore International and ZCCM-IH sealed a $1.5 billion deal to increase the Zambian shareholding to 100 percent from 10 percent. In effect, the commodity trader and FQM jointly let off the 90 percent and agreed that ZCCM-IH pays $1 while $1.5 billion will be settled in 17 years. We, therefore, challenge critics to explain how else such a transaction could have been undertaken. They should put across an alternative rather than wholesomely condemning the deal. Some politicians have a tendency of criticising all actions and programmes without giving an alternative. Such criticism is far from being constructive and is just aimed at distracting Government from running public affairs diligently. Criticism must always be constructive otherwise it becomes destructive! As we approach the August 12 general elections, politicians will become more and more toxic in their desperate quest to garner support. The electorate should, therefore, be wary of tongue-lashing politicians, who are desperate to get into power at all costs. It is no wonder they have branded this year’s election as “do or die.” Zambia is a peaceful nation and all citizens ought to guard such peace and tranquility jealously. We appeal to politicians from both sides of the political divide to engage in constructive debate and ensure that discourse is free of diatribe.

SHUN TRIBAL POLITICS, ZAMBIANS TOLD By KETRA KALUNGA

AMBIANS should not condone tribal politics by some selfish politicians, former deputy minister of Foreign Affairs, Gabriel Namulambe has said. He said political leaders should instead support President Edgar Lungu, who has embraced all the tribes across the country. Mr Namulambe urged political leaders to emulate the spirit of unity that the freedom fighters exhibited during the independence struggle. Politicians, he said, should not base their politics on regionalism. He said in an interview that politicians should realize that regional politics would not

win them an election. The former UPND chairperson for labour said politicians who were busy promoting regional politics were selfish because their interest was in regional groupings and not Zambia as a nation. “Political leaders promoting tribalism are not thinking about Zambia but themselves, if you base your party on tribal lines then you are not thinking about Zambia, because Zambia is about all the 73 tribes including the Chinese, Indians, and the like,” he said. Mr Namulambe added: “such political leaders if at all they formed government, their interest won’t be for the whole country but for the region where you base your strength as a political party.”

Mr Namulambe “Our forefathers didn’t base their politics on regionalism but the whole country hence the slogan, “One Zambia, One Nation.” “So to all the political leaders, my advice is if you want to advance your political agenda, don’t base it on tribalism, regional groupings are not helping in any way because the region is not Zambia,” he said.

K30m artists’ fund play melody for three Chongwe artists’ groups By JOHN KOMBE THREE youth artists' groups in Chongwe have benefitted from the K30mn empowerment fund for artists, says Chongwe member of Parliament Japhen Mwakalombe. Mr. Mwakalombe disclosed this when he addressed youths during a sports tournament in Chinkuli ward in Chongwe. He observed that Government remained committed to helping the young people develop their talent so as to empower themselves economically and also create employment for others. He also donated four pairs of jerseys to two netball teams and two football teams that participated in the sports tournament. The other donations included: two sets of football goal post nets, training cones and K7, 000 prize money for the top four netball and football teams.

He challenged the youth to remain disciplined to nurture their talents. He said that discipline was a sure way to success and as such the young people must be focused and disciplined. Mr. Mwakalombe who is also Copperbelt Province minister said the government had prioritised youth empowerment because it hinged on the productive age group. He was glad the government had fulfilled its promise of empowering the from the K30m pronounced by the President. He observed that the three youth groups that have benefitted from the fund were now equipped with requisite equipment to carry out their activities and disclosed that two of the three groups received a set of music instruments and one group received tailoring machines. He said that the empowerment cost about K600, 000. He urged the beneficiaries take good care of the equip-

ment and stick to the agreement to pay back the subsidised amount so as to enable others to benefit in the future. And in an interview, chairman of Peter Malanda Arts Ensemble, Godwin Malanda, thanked government for the gesture. He disclosed that his group received instruments valued at K200, 000. According to him, the instruments were of the highest quality and would help the group grow their businesses. He stressed that the empowerment was timely especially that the musicians were faced with various challenges such as the lack of modern equipment. He was grateful the government had subsidised the loan and that the group would only pay back about K102, 000.00 spread over five years. He said that each of the three groups would only pay K1, 700.00 per month beginning in July this year.

Court hears Chimese perks in camera By CHARLES MUSONDA THE Lusaka Magistrates’ Court yesterday heard in camera evidence relating to former Zambia Air Force (ZAF) Commander Eric Chimese. Lusaka Magistrate Nsunge Chanda yesterday heard the evidence behind closed doors following an order she made last year after overruling an objection the defence had made to a prosecution witness presenting before court the evidence on Chimese’s earnings when he served as ZAF Commander. The hearing continues this Thursday in a case Chimese is charged with Chita Lodge Limited with alleged concealing of property suspected to be proceeds of crime. The property include a two storey house and nine flats. But a Ministry of Lands Registrar has already testified that a document that purports to show that Chimese owns the property in dispute is a forged one. Ms Rachael Tembo had told the court that Chita Lodge holds a genuine title for the land on which the property is built and that the one purporting to show that Chimese is the owner does not exist in the Ministry of Land’s register. Ms. Tembo said information from the land register showed that the property initially belonged to Evelyn Kinyabo who later sold it to a Godfrey Mulundika in October 1988. She said in July 2010 Mr. Mulundika later sold it to Chita Lodge Limited, which later sold a subdivision to Misheck Sichinga and Judith Nyambe Sichela in November 2013. She said in April 2014 Chita Lodge Limited sold another subdivision to Michaila Ilunga Kapenda and in the same month Chita Lodge Limited sold another subdivision to Moyo Mary Ng’ambi.

Headman donates land for youth skills training centre in Chongwe By JOHN KOMBE THE traditional leadership in Zone 8 in Senior Chieftainess Nkhomehya’s chiefdom has donated seven hectares for the construction of a youth skills training centre in Shoba Village in Chinkuli ward. Speaking when he officiated at a sports tournament in Chinkuli ward yesteday, Chongwe member of Parliament, Japhen Mwakalombe thanked Senior Headman Mutamino for the gesture. He observed that the traditional leadership in the area had shown its resolve to help empower the youth with lifelong skills.

He said that the piece of land would be used to construct a modern training centre to cater for youths in the district. He disclosed that the Japhen Mwakalombe Trust had partnered with Mothers of Africa, an NGO from the United Kingdom. He said that the architects were ready to come on site to do the drawings once the donation was formalised. He stressed that the skills training centre would cater for any youth regardless of their academic qualifications. He observed that there was an overwhelming number of school dropouts in the districts and as such the facility would help to make the

young people productive. Mr Mwakalombe said that the young people had a lot of energy which needed to be directed into productive activities and that their population must be empowered so that they can contribute to the gross domestic product of the country. “This will be a state of the art centre that will offer different skills training especially to school dropouts. We will offer bricklaying and carpentry and joinery courses among others,” he said. Mr. Mwakalombe who is also Copperbelt Province minister stressed that the government remained committed to ensure that the young

population was empowered with requisite skills. He challenged the young people to take advantage of the initiative and enroll once the training centre is completed. And Senior Headman Mutamino thanked the lawmaker for the initiative and observed that the training centre would help to equip the young people with skills that would enable them to be productive members of society. The headman also thanked the government for electrifying Mutamino health centre in the area and for constructing a computer laboratory at Chinkuli Primary School.

The schools included Pembya Community School located in Mwape Kalunga, Misuse Community School in Fube, Sumbu's Muleka Community School and Tandabunbwe Community School in Kwena. These are vulnerable Community Schools from Chief Matipa and sub chiefs Mwape Kalunga and Fube of Chilubi Island. Ms Kalasa says she decided to come to the aid of the pupils due to their vulnerability as most of them come from poor families. "I started this campaign

two years ago by mobilizing resources with the help of my partner Michelle Shepard based in the UK and Shain Mulenga a Zambian who is also in the diaspora and I am happy that finally the campaign has started and we are able to provide school uniforms to thousands of pupils of Chilubi Island," Ms Kalasa

said. "So far we have given to 4 community Schools but we are extending this campaign to other schools in the Constituency because we want "every child in school" to be in uniform," she said. Ms Kalasa thanked her partners for the support towards the project.

Zambia, Germany trade needs boost By BUUMBA CHIMBULU GOODS worth over US$9,000 were in the last six years exported to Germany, signifying the need to enhance collaborations between Zambia and the European country. Zambia Development Agency (ZDA) acting Manager Investment Promotion, Samson Simwanda, observed the need to increase exports to German. He regretted that between 2015 and 2020, Zambia ex-

ported goods worth US$9,000 to German, signifying the need to enhance collaboration and ensure more products are exported. He said Zambia imported goods worth USS$423, 533 from Germany and only exported USS$9, 651 between 2015 and 2020. While calling on German investors to explore the vast investment opportunities in Zambia, Mr Simwanda said the country would enhance collaboration with European country.

Presenting trade and investment opportunities, he explained that Zambia and Germany had been doing business from time immemorial. Mr Simwanda made the appeal during a German Zambia Business Webinar dubbed ‘Doing Business in Zambia’ held on January 12th 2021. “Zambia has been importing machinery, data processing and electric equipment, vehicles, chemicals, oil and gas, metals, pharmaceuticals,

National Park encroachers warned MINISTER of Tourism and Arts Ronald Chitotela says the government will not tolerate any illegal settlements in the protected areas such as national parks dotted across the country. Mr Chitotela said going forward the government will not hesitate to evict illegal settlers in all protected areas. He sounded the warning when he visited Chokomene Wildlife Camp under Lukusuzi National Park in Eastern

Province. The Tourism and Arts Minister further hailed the Department of National Parks and Wildlife working with the District Joint Operation Committee for having evicted the 233 families that were squattering in Lukusuzi National Park. Mr Chitotela explained that very soon illegal settlers in the Kafue Flats and Mumbwa Game Management Area will be evicted to restore sanity.

“We stand ready to support you officers in doing the right thing. Government values the role of Wildlife Police Officers in conservation for tourism and national development. We will not tolerate any one to stay in the protected areas and sanity will be restored,” he charged. And Kasungu- Lukusuzi Project Coordinator Luckson Mwenya commended the government, working with GIZ for efforts made to man-

Mr Simwanda urged German Investors to consider investing in the manufacturing, agriculture, energy, tourism and infrastructure sectors as they were considered Zambia’s priority sectors. Speaking during the same webinar, Zambia’s Ambassador to Germany, Anthony Mukwita, assured Germany investors that their investments were safe in Zambia. He explained that government through ZDA issued investment guarantees and securities to protect investments.

"We are really thankful for this rare gesture and we are happy that our pupils are all looking good and smart in unforms and we ask you if you can also help our pupils with shoes if possible because majority of them do not have as they come from poor families," said Edward Makumba who is a teacher at one of the community schools, words echoed by his fellow teacher Frederick Kunda. And Mavis Chanda a learner at Misuse Community School also thanked Ms Kalasa for the donation of uniforms on behalf of her fellow pupils. Meanwhile, Puku village Headman Amos Mantele appealed to Ms Kalasa to lobby Government to send teachers in the area, adding that a number of learning institutions had inadequate teaching staff apart from other challenges faced. Ms Kalasa is in Chilubi Island doing Community works.

GOVERNMENT should reduce taxes on salaula to address smuggling of second hand clothes, Clearing Agents Association, Nakonde district chairperson Chileshe has said. Mr Chileshe said the taxes on salaula were high and recipe for smuggling. He said reducing taxes on Salaula would attract more importers to pay taxes because currently there was rampart smuggling on second hand clothes due to high taxes. "The import taxes on Salaula were designed to promote local textile industries such as Mukuba, Mulugushi and others which are no longer operational. Therefore, having high taxes is not serving any purpose but merely promoting smuggling,” he said. He said currently ZRA was charging a minimum of about K400,000 for a 40 feet container. Mr Chileshe said ZRA should reduce several other taxes to reduce smuggling. He said reducing taxes on Salaula will enhance revenue collection for ZRA.

Lupososhi PF members sure of wining general elections THE Patriotic Front (PF) in Lupososhi has endorsed President Edgar Lungu as the party presidential candidate in the August general elections. PF Lupososhi district chairperson Cephas Chibwe announced the decision during the party mobilization meeting held at Museba Basic School. Mr. Chibwe said the party in the district has chosen to rally behind the leadership of President Lungu because he has delivered on many campaign promises. He said that the party has become even more popular under the leadership of President Lungu.

AVOCADO PROJECT IN K3M BOOST By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

P P R O X I M AT E LY 100, 000 grafted fruit seedlings are being targeted to be achieved using the K3 million which Government has provided for the development of avocado sector in Vubwe District. Government should therefore accelerate the release of the K3 million for the development of the avocado and fruit project in Vubwe district in Eastern Province. This is according to the National Avocado and Fruits Project (NAFP) – Vubwe Chapter Manager, Lytone Kanowa.

Mr Kanowa said approximately 16,000 seedlings were already on the nursery due for grafting. He said in an interview that the K3 million fund from Government would be used to expand the nursery, procure requisites for management of the nursery such as shed nets, irrigation equipment and grafting materials. In October last year, Government through the office of the Vice President facilitated a K3 million grant for the development of the avocado and fruit project. “We would like to urge the office of the President to expedite the release of the grant of K3 million awarded

to NAFP to enable it commerce the expansion of the nursery and procurement of the irrigation equipment,” Mr Kanowa said. He said the project was designed to employ readily available labour force from the membership of the cooperative. Additional seedlings, he said, would be planted to achieve the target of 100,000 grafted seedlings using this acquired grant. “The entire project would continue to resource mobilize for setting up befitting irrigation systems for each participating farmers, the funds provided would go a long way to realise the dream of achieving sustain-

able crop diversification through tree planting,” he said. Mr Kanowa, who is also the team leader of Eastern Province Buy-Zed chapter, said the project was poised to be a national approach towards effective crop diversification especially for farmers affected by the effect of climate change.

Aviation sector needs boost - expert By BUUMBA CHIMBULU GENUINE discussions between the aviation industry and Government about the growth prospects of the sector should be undertaken, says Proflight Corporate Director, Chitalu Kabalika. Mr Kabalika said the discussions were critical in initiatives such as ‘Explore Zambia’ or ‘Open Zambia’ that were aimed to showcase what Zambia had to offer. “Connecting Zambia to the world through our Lusaka hub is of vital importance to the regional economy, especially in these challenging times. “With the travel confidence we have built in the past months, we are steadily rebuilding the economic links severed by Covid-19,” he said in a statement. Domestic tourism has restarted and is helping to mitigate the impact on jobs and businesses in Proflight’s destinations like Livingstone, Mfuwe and Ndola. However, Mr Kabalika noted that real recovery

would be possible only when international tourism returned. He said this required regional and global cooperation and evidence-based solutions so travel restrictions can be safely lifted and get back to pre-Covid-19 levels. Mr Kabalika also reiterated the safety measures that the Proflight had put in place. “To ease fear and anxiety in customers, Proflight has put in place safety measures on board all aircraft; we hope this will help to provide confidence to passengers looking to travel with us in the future. Proflight has put in place a range of measures to ensure that flights are safe for both passengers and staff. Face masks are mandatory for both passengers and crew when boarding and during the flight. Rigorous aircraft cleaning procedures are standard, such as the disinfection of all surfaces in contact with customers such as armrests, tables, and screens.

Restriction of commercial cargo by road through Victoria Falls Border Post THE Zambian Government signed SI No. 115 of 2020 that came into effect on 1st January 2021. The Zambia Revenue Authority issued a notice notifying all stakeholders that importation and exportation of commercial cargo by road through the Victoria falls border will be restricted to 16 tons and below while all commercial cargo above 16 tons will have to cross using rail or use other alternative entry / exit points such as Chirundu or Kazungula among them. The notice further clarified that the border remains open and available for use by all Hawkers, Individual traders, tourists and motorists with vehicles or goods below 16 tons. This measure is meant to bring sanity to the tourist capital and cartel the smuggling activities at the Victoria

falls border post. The border post was not designed to clear commercial cargo hence facilities like scanners, inspection bays are nonexistence at the entry point. Over the years traffic has been growing and smugglers have taken advantage by deliberately pushing traf-

fic towards the small border post because it lucks the anti smauggling facilities such as inspection bays and scanners. The authority has to use the inspection bay at Livingstone port office which creates an congestion in the tourist capital. This SI does not affect the

clearing industry as claimed by some individuals that they will be job losses because all clearance of goods is done online from anywhere in the world. Some smugglers have now teamed up to try and frustrate this new measure because the smuggling route has now been sealed off. Other border posts such as Kazungula and Livingstone have proper facilities such as scanners, inspecting bays, CCTV among them. Smugglers do not want to use these other entry points because of facilities in these borders that make it very difficult for them to succeed in any illegal activities. Just last week, the authority intercepted 9 trucks that were declared as Generator sets with Zero duty rate when infact this was assorted wooden furniture that attracts 40% duty.

The people of Zambia would have lost over 2.5 million kwacha in taxes if the alert ZRA officers did not intercept these trucks. These smugglers conspired to defraud the state tax revenue through smuggling related offences that range from misclassification, undervaluation’s, origin fraud, forgery and failure to report within stipulated time as per customs order procedure. This is contrary the provi-

sions of Sections 141 and 149 of the customs and Excise Act, CAP 322 of the laws of Zambia. The authority has further recommend for forfeiture without compensation in accordance with the Commissioner Generals’ memo on the treatment of smuggling cases. This should perhaps to a lesson to all smuggling cartels that paying taxes is cheaper than smuggling.

SA’s manufacturing, mining production report doubledigit contractions in 2020

ZIM, CHINA CITRUS DEAL TO OPEN NEW FRONTIER HARARE - Zimbabwe and China are set to sign a citrus fruits export deal that Zimtrade has described as ‘farming industry transforming.’ The deal, which will further entrench economic cooperation between the two countries, is set to open up a new frontier for locals who have previously relied on the European market. The consummation of such agreements, is in sync with Government’s export development strategy under the National Development Strategy 1 (NDS1 2021 to 2030). NDS1 is the economic blueprint with which Government expects to foster rapid economic growth towards an upper middle income economy by 2030 as set by President Mnangagwa. Growing value added exports, both by quantity and variety, is at the core of this development strategy. The country’s export development and promotional agency, ZimTrade, is negotiating with Chinese authorities on behalf of Government and deal announcement is now imminent. In an interview with The Sunday Mail Business, ZimTrade chief executive officer Allan Majuru, said such a deal will give local farmers access to a market worth US$500 million annually. He said the deal was meant to bit market barriers that exporters encounter.

Banks provide funding for Beitbridge border revamp JOHANNESBURG - Lenders including Standard Bank and FirstRand provided $130 million of loans for an upgrade of Southern Africa’s busiest border crossing. The financing for the Beitbridge border between South Africa and Zimbabwe includes the $130 million commercial debt tranche arranged by FirstRand’s Rand Merchant Bank unit, Standard Bank, Absa and Nedbank, according to an article paid for by RMB and published by Johannesburg-based website BusinessLive. It also includes a $65 million development-finance institution tranche from Afreximbank and the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund. – BLOOMBERG NEWS.

A man harvestIng oranges “. . . for exports to take place, there are government to government protocols that govern the movement of agricultural produces and other products,” Majuru said. “On the citrus protocol with China, this is expected to open up direct access to a huge market for local farmers. “The good thing about Zimbabwe taping into the Chinese market is that it will ease the over reliance on the European market, allowing the country to diversify and hedge against price volatility by concentrating on one market,” he said. Under the protocol, Majuru said, citrus

fruits to be exported to China, include orange, mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, limes, tangelo and grapefruit. Local farmers’ prospects are further boosted by the fact that different varieties of citrus that are grown in Zimbabwe are in demand the world over. However, the ZimTrade boss notes, despite the present demand the exports promotion agency is constantly looking at market trends to ensure that Zimbabwe continue producing new varieties that are growing in demand. – THE HERALD, Zimbabwe.

Japan’s economy shrinks 4.8pc in 2020 due to Covid

TOKYO - Japan’s economy surged in the fourth quarter of 2020, but it was not enough to keep the country from negative growth for the year. The economy beat expectations to grow by three percent between October and December compared to the same period in 2019. But growth was considerably slower than in the previous quarter, when the economy expanded 5.3 percent. Japan’s economy shrank 4.8 percent over the full year, its first contraction since 2009. The growth figures come as Japan’s Nikkei index briefly hit 30, 000 for the first time since 1990. The world’s third-largest economy suffered its worst post-war quarterly contraction between April and June, as the global pandemic hit domestic consumption and exports. But consumption and exports, which are both key drivers of the Japanese economy, also fuelled a rebound in the second half of the year. Private consumption, which makes up more than half of the economy, rose 2.2 percent in the final quarter of 2020, slowing from the 5.1 percent increase in the previous quarter.

Stronger economic growth globally in the third and fourth quarters also helped Japanese businesses sell more of their products overseas. Annualised growth - which assumes the quarter’s growth will be maintained for the whole year - was 12.7 percent, suggesting Japan could be on track for a strong and rapid recovery. Takumi Tsunoda, senior economist at Shinkin Central Bank Research, expects the recovery to struggle because Japan lags behind western economies in vaccine distribution. “The conditions are such that Japan will not be able to avoid negative growth in the first quarter,” he told Reuters. “There is a high possibility that there will be a repeating cycle of coronavirus infections spreading and being contained this year, which means that consumption is not likely to recover at the expected pace.” In December, the government announced another round of stimulus aimed at pulling the world’s second largest economy out of its slump. The $708 billion package took Japan’s total stimulus spending to around $3 trillion. – BBC.

JOHANNESBURG - Both manufacturing and mining production contracted by more than 10 percent in 2020, data from Stats SA shows. Stats SA has released December 2020 manufacturing production and mining production. Manufacturing production decreased by 11 percent in 2020, compared to 2019, data shows. All 10 manufacturing divisions reported negative growth rates over the past year. On a year-on-year basis, it increased 1.8 percent. The largest positive contributors were food and beverages; followed by motor vehicles, parts and other transport equipment; basic iron and steel products and wood and wood products. Petroleum, chemical products, rubber and plastic products were the largest negative contributors to the annual figure. On a month-on-month basis, manufacturing production declined by 0.1 percent in December 2020, compared to November 2020. “Total mining production was 10.7 percent lower in 2020 compared with 2019. The 10.7 percent decrease in annual

mining production followed a decrease of 0.5 percent in 2019 and a decrease of 1.5 percent in 2018,” Stats SA said in a separate report on mining production. Mining production increased by 0.1% year-on-year in December 2020. The largest positive contributions were manganese ore, diamonds and coal. The largest negative contributor was platinum group metals. On a month-on-month basis, mining production increased 0.5 percent in December compared to November 2020. This follows month-on-month contractions of 2.4 percent in November and 0.8 percent in October. Mineral sales managed to increase 23.8 percent yearon-year in December. Mineral sales increased by 23.8 percent year-onyear in December 2020. “Total mineral sales were 10.4 percent higher in 2020 compared with 2019,” Stats SA said. Commenting on the sector’s performance in 2020, FNB economists noted that rebound in activity, particularly in China and stronger commodity prices supported mining. “... employment losses were lower than initially feared.” – FIN24.

KPMG to stop offering non-audit related services to JSE-listed clients JOHANNESBURG - KPMG South Africa has announced that it will not be taking up any other work for JSElisted companies, save for auditing contracts. The auditing firm which is still cleaning up its image after the state capture and the VBS scandals said it will cease all future non-auditrelated services to its listed audit clients from March 31, 2021. The fact that firms have been providing consulting services to the same clients they are supposed to audit has largely been blamed for the recent scandals accounting, not just in South Africa. In the UK, the Financial Reporting Council ordered the big four accounting firms – KPMG, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers to break up their audit and non-audit operations to enhance transparency and to make audit operations truly independent from the rest of the firm. In SA, providing non-auditrelated services to audit clients is still permitted under current laws. KPMG is the first firm to voluntary follow the UK developments. The company said that its decision to cease offering consulting services to its listed clients came after an intensive review process that seeks to improve the perception of auditor independence. The firm added that while it can lawfully continue to offer these services, it was concerned about the

KPMG SA CEO, Ignatius Sehoole public perception of auditor independence. “While this is an area that is typically already very well managed by audit committees, particularly those of listed audit clients, the objective of such a move is to help restore trust in the profession, as it removes any perception of conflicts of interest with our audit work for listed entities,” said KPMG SA CEO, Ignatius Sehoole in a statement. Sehoole added that because the auditing profession relies on trust, the firm will do all that’s needed to rebuild that element. “After the significant and market leading governance and leadership changes the firm made in the last three years, we are committed to continuing to lead the rebuilding of trust in the firm and the profession. We look forward to witnessing a positive industry shift that will result from this enhanced independence model,” said Sehoole. – FIN24.

PATRIOTIC Front Eastern Province chairman Andrew Lubusha has been a silent supporter of communities in the province and it is only right to recognise and appreciate his efforts. To say that Mr Lubusha is a humble man of the people is an understatement. He lives with us, works with us, eats with us. He sees our pain and feels it. For instance, the poor road network in our constituency,

Chipangali is a source of concern to all communities. While our friends are getting nice roads, we seem to be forgotten as if we have no representation in government. In his own small way, Mr Lubusha has been working on feeder roads and other infrastructure in local.communities just to ease the pressure for the people. I want to appeal to leaders to get down to the local people and know what people are going through and what they want. If more people did what Mr Lubusha is doing, we can surely see major developments in our province, but some are just selfish and sequins. Zikomo. JUMA MALUNGA, Chipangali.

Covid is real and present danger Dear Editor, THE threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic is real and a threat to our existence. Because it is spread through the air or contact, anyone can get it easily and that is where the danger is. It is therefore important that everyone becomes the brother’s keeper. The five guidelines to guard against the spread of Covid-19 are clear: Wash hands frequently, sanitise, no handshakes, cover mouth when coughing or sneezing and above all practice social distancing. But looking at our situation, it is easy to see why infections could be high. Public buses are ever full such that there is no social distancing in there. Bars and night clubs are open daily despite restrictions. I wonder if the councils ever check what is happening. So how can we stop Covid if we don’t observe health guidelines from the authorities? This ignorance is dangerous. Covid is real. TINAH MUKUKA, Lusaka Youth Activist.

Dear Editor,

NE Zambia, One Nation. This is our national creed. Our national creed makes an unequivocal call to all of us as Zambians, to unite and strengthen the bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood by, among other things, choosing to see ourselves in others and bringing the best out of others in our nonstop march towards realising our desired and inextricably linked destiny Zambia’s Vision 2030. Our national creed challenges us to go much further than merely achieving unity in the midst of diverse convictions and persuasions – important as this may be. Our national creed of “One Zambia One Nation” asks us an important question: “Where does your loyalty lie?” Is it in ethnicity? Or, regions? Or, self? Or, in nation building and development? In this regard, our loyalties as individuals and a society should be rooted in nationhood and working for the greater good; not in ethnicities, regionalism, self-indulgence and political expediency to score cheap political points. We should choose to embrace a “Zambia first and foremost” mentality in everything we do and say at work and at home, while in Zambia and outside Zambia, as political players or civil society, as ordinary citizens or business houses.

WE’RE ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION – MY TAKE FROM PRESIDENT LUNGU’S ADDRESS When we all choose to adopt and put into practice this “Zambia first and foremost mentality,” it will eliminate the troubling propensity of some who have succumbed to the temptation of speaking ill of their home, Zambia, whenever it suits them or convenient. We must all remember that, presenting an unpleasant image of your home and kin does not embellish you. Similarly, presenting an unpleasant image of your country neither makes you look any better to outsiders, nor does it help in promoting a positive image of the nation, upon which foreign direct investment and international development partnership depend for the benefit of the people. The glorious images of all nations we may admire today were never built by outsiders, but by citizens like you and I choosing to act as comrades, patriots and goodwill ambassadors to the world. This we must do if we truly care for the ordinary Zambians everywhere. This can only become true when all of us, as citizens, decide to summon the best in us, and dedicate ourselves to reaching out for the higher

ideals of nation building and development (above ethnicity, political expediency or self-indulgence). Only then will we be able to deeply entrench peace, harmony and stability and attain shared prosperity in Zambia. This is and shall be our nation’s destiny as long as we remain true to practicing “Zambia-first” in both our words and our deeds. This includes all of us rehearsing the axiom: “You are entitled to your own opinions, but you are not entitled to your own facts.” Further to this, we must understand the fact that our entitlement to speak our opinions comes with duties and responsibilities such as; avoiding careless, simplistic and unproven narratives and fake news by choosing to embrace the liberating and progressive power of truth, mutual respect and substantive debates. This aptly encapsulates the true spirit of our nation’s creed. I also agree with and applaud President Lungu’s sentiments towards the Zambian youth in his address where he affirmed the PF government’s support to every citizen regardless of background and I

quote: “And to you my dear youth, let me tell this; To us it does not matter which family you come from. As long as you are a citizen of this country, this government cares for you. This government wants the best fo you.” In conclusion, let me quote the former Prime Minister of Britain, Ms. Theresa May, when she said: “I am worried about the state of politics…. One which believes that if you simply assert your view loud enough and long enough, you will get your way in the end…. This is coarsening our public debate. Some are losing the ability to disagree without demeaning the views of others. “Online technology allows people to express their anger and anxiety without filter or accountability. Aggressive assertions are made without regard to the facts or the complexities of an issue. “In an environment where the most extreme views tend to be the most noticed. This descent of our debate into rancour and

tribal bitterness, and in some cases even vile abuse at a criminal level, is corrosive for the democratic values we should all be seeking to uphold…. Words have consequences. And ill words that go unchallenged are the first step on a continuum towards ill deeds. “Towards a much darker place, where hatred and prejudice drive not only what people

say, but also what they do.” Let us therefore avoid being purveyors of careless, simplistic and unproven narratives as well as ill words; knowing too well that words have consequences for us, nation building and development. Let us instead embrace truth, mutual respect, substantive debates, hard work, and a “Zambia-first mindset.” This is what will enable us to bring about Zambia’s glorious future, which we all desire. SUNDAY CHILUFYA CHANDA, Patriotic Front Media Director.

Local firms urged to embrace ‘Proudly Zambian’ By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

LOCAL manufacturers should register with the proudly Zambian campaign to ensure that revenue generated is used within the economy. Registering for the campaign which is currently with over 500 certified product lines will ensure that revenue generated is kept within the economy, says Zambia Association of Manufacturers (ZAM) vice president-South, Chipego Zulu-Chileshe. Ms Zulu-Chileshe reiterated that registering for the campaign with the association would expand the operation and the companies involved which currently stood at 33. “We encourage all manufactures to register for the proudly Zambian campaign with the association. “We are on the way to ensuring that more of our locally manufactured quality products are recognised on our shopping shelves and consumers are easily able to identify the products that have this quality mark,” she said in an interview. Ms Zulu-Chileshe also commended President Edgar Lungu for supporting the proudly Zambian campaign. She thanked the President for noting that the campaign had taken route with over 500 product lines certified and 33

companies having subscribed to the operation. “We do agree with the President and his observation that we should take pride in what is produced locally and we should consume it so we do continue reiterate our message surrounding the proudly Zambian campaign and that is encouraging you the consumer to think local first in all that you procure,” she said. President Lungu last week during his address to the nation observed that consumption of locally produced products had improved during the Covid-19 period which had limited importation of foreign produces. While encouraging Zambians to continue consuming locally produced products, President Lungu acknowledged that Covid-19 and its consequences such as lockdowns signified the need not to rely on foreign products for livelihood. President Lungu stressed that this was not only creating a ready market for local producers but also creating more employment opportunities, particularly the youth. “I am encouraged to see that more of our local products are being sold in shops. Equally encouraging is the fact that more of our people are consuming these products.

Sumaili counsels political leaders By KETRA KALUNGA

POLITICAL Party leaders have been urged to instil discipline in their members and ensure that they avoid tribal talk and violence before and after elections. National Guidance and Religion Affairs Minister, Godfredah Sumaili, said it was incumbent upon all political leaders to ensure that the country holds violence-free elections. Reverend Sumaili advised leaders of all political parties to follow the electoral guidelines that the Electoral Commission of Zambia ( ECZ) has provided in the electoral code. “I would also want to speak to the general secretaries of political parties that they should ensure that there is discipline within their political parties, it’s very, very important that all of us take responsibility and ensure that there is no violence,” she said. The minister was speaking on ZNBC’s Sunday’s Interview programme. Rev Sumaili urged political leaders to guard against tribal talk which she said was fuelling violence among political parties. She said political players should focus on promoting human dignity and not on character assassination. “It’s very sad that at times we hear insults that should not happen, we are one people and as a nation that is promoting democracy and constitutionalism as a value we should accommodate the views of other people,” she said. Rev Sumaili added Government was engaging political parties on the need to ensure that there was no violence during the election period. She said that the church has also been engaged to ensure that it played its role of uniting the county before and after the August 2021 elections.

BE WARY OF ARROGANT LEADERS, ZAMBIANS CAUTIONED By ROGERS KALERO

PPOSITION leaders who show dictatorial tendencies can be worse dictators if given chance to become republican President, ex miners in Mufulira have charged. Patron of ex miners in Mufulira, Gift Mushinge said Zambians must be wary of dictatorial opposition party leaders because such kind of individuals will have no regard for Zambians after using their vote to get into power. In an interview in Kitwe yesterday, he said Zambians must critically analyse the way some opposition leaders were running their political parties before getting excited with their lies and propaganda. “If a political party leader can amend the

party constitution to suit his own interests, what more if he becomes Republican President, what would happen? Mr Mushinge wondered. Mr Mushinge said if social media reports that an opposition leader had amended the party constitution to suit his interests were true, then Zambians should be careful with some of the people aspiring to form government. He said an individual seeking Government leadership must exhibit genuine humility, maturity and the heart to help those in needy as opposed to using the poor as a way of getting into power. “A person who is stingy and arrogant is not ideal for any kind of leadership. So Zambians must seriously look at those seeking to form government and their contribution to the community where they

live,” he said. Mr Mushinge said Zambians must open their eyes and ears to understand how people were regretting in some foreign countries where those who promised to provide quality leadership had lamentably failed to deliver and people were up in arms against them He said the challenges which Zambia was facing today like high prices for essential commodities and unemployment were global problems which could not be blamed on President Edgar Lungu and his Government. “Even those who are criticizing President Lungu know that the effects of COVID 19 have not spared any country, but they are only making noise to be heard that there is an opposition in Zambia,” he said.

Lungu is a listening leader - Eric Chanda By KALOBWE BWALYA

President Lungu

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has brought development across the country and is now empowering the women and the youth, says Munali constituency aspirant candidate Eric Chanda. Mr. Chanda said President Lungu was a listening leader who had embarked on the Presidential empowerment programme to ensure that every citizen benefited. He said it was in order for Zambians to vote back President Lungu into the office

because PF government has delivered to people’s expectations. Meanwhile, Mr Chanda has pledged to transform people’s lives through empowerment programmes for the people of Munali constituency. Mr. Chanda said he was ready to deliver in Munali once given a mandate to serve the people in the constituency. He said this when he met 20 branches in Chakunkula ward in Munali constituency and further assured branch officials of his support in mobilizing the party. He appealed to the people

of Munali to work with him because he understood the challenges they were facing especially marketeers. Mr Chanda empowered 160 women from 20 branches with K500 each and advised them to start small businesses. He said he would empower the grassroot leaders in the PF and would work with them at any given time. “All I want is to work with you especially the marketers and the women of Munali constituency because you are the most marginalized in society,” Mr Chanda said.

Mbala tourism needs boost, says aspiring MP By NATION REPORTER THERE is urgent need to boost tourism and agriculture to uplift the livings standards of Zambians especially in the rural areas, an advocate of social justice and community development has observed. Get Mbala Reading founder, Pascal Nsokolo, particularly pointed out that Mbala has so much potential for development through tourism, agriculture and new industries. Mr Nsokolo said with advancement in technology, it was now easy to reconnect with the marginalised communities and undertake development through critical sectors of the economy. He said it was for that reason that he had decided to seek adoption for Mbala constituency on the Patriotic Front (PF) ticket Mr Nsokolo, who is also Mbala Midsport Football Youth Academy patron and a member of Senior Chief Nsokolo Royal Establishment, said it was time for him to join the race to be the next MP for Mbala Central. He stressed that Mbala needed strong leadership with a proven track record of delivering development. He added that with his extensive international experience and strong local

roots he believed that he has the necessary skills and experience to deliver the longawaited development across the district. Mr Nsokolo said his vision was to ensure that opportunities were created and spread

equally so that everyone in the district could fulfil their aspirations regardless of their background. Through his Get Mbala Reading, he had been helping the vulnerable and needy children in Mbala by improving literacy skills including digital literacy. He is also involved in tackling wider community needs in health, education and youth and women empowerment. Recently, Mr Nsokolo donated desktop computers and laptops to schools and colleges in the district and also donated books in six primary schools to help improve literacy skills. He also gave out thousands of reusable facemasks to needy and vulnerable school children to help fight the Covid-19 pandemic. Other community projects that Mr Nsokolo delivered in the district through Get Mbala Reading include, sponsoring a school radio debate, the church choir competition and sponsored the 2018 Abercorn Music Awards. Mr Nsokolo said he has the passion for the community, the reason why he works with Talent Foundation Club and Girl Pride Mbala to help raise awareness on the importance of staying longer in school. “Mbala needs a fresh start with new strong parliamentary leadership, innovative ideas, pace and energy,” he said.

Pemba poised for growth By ANDREW MUKOMA

PEMBA is poised for a facelift following Government's decision to construct a number of structures. Among the projects earmarked for construction is the district administration offices, police station, civic centre, level one houses for the District Commissioner and Council Secretary, 20 low cost houses, 10 medium cost houses and the post office. Construction of the projects is expected to commence in April this year and scheduled to be completed after 12 months. Pemba District Commissioner, Reginald Mugoba, said this in an interview said that the infrastructure would change the image of the district for the better. "We want to thank President Edgar Lungu for considering Pemba among other districts to be given infrastructure. We are now going to have about seven contractors in the district, who will be building a number of structures. "All the seven contractors have visited the sites and by April 2021, they will be on the ground building those structurea we have talked about. These infrastructure will give a facelift to the district and it will no longer be the same," Mr Mugoba said. Mr Mugoba said Government was not segregative, as development was being delivered to all the corners of the country. "I am very happy for this gesture especially that this thing is happening during my tenure of office as District Commissioner. Pemba residents will have something to point at among many other developmental projects we have done as a district," he said.

12 JOSTLE FOR L/STONE PARLEY SEAT By ANDREW MUKOMA

THE number of aspiring candidates seeking to be adopted for the Livingstone parliamentary seat has grown 15 in this year’s general elections. Former Livingstone Tourism Association (LTA) chairman, Rodney Sikumba, who resigned from his position to join the race. Mr Sikumba brings the number of interested members from the opposition UPND to 10 while the PF has five. But PF district youth

chairperson, Eddie Chomba, cautioned the electorate in Livingstone to scrutinize all the aspiring candidates. Mr Chomba said that all those whose leadership had been tested should stay away and allow others to lead. He told the Daily Nation some of those jostling to contest for parliamentary had failed already and must not to given a chance again particularly those from the UPND. “People like Mathews Jere who is the current MP and Eugene Mapuwo, the

mayor should just stay away because they have failed. All the development being seen the district was initiated by the PF Government and not these who are in office,” he said. Meanwhile, Mr Ikuka Muleta, one of the PF parliamentary aspirants, has urged the people of Livingstone to give the PF a resounding victory in the August 12 general elections. Mr Muleta said that voting for PF candidates at all levels would steer development in the city.

People like Mathews Jere who is the current MP and Eugene Mapuwo, the mayor should just stay away because they have failed. All the development being seen the district was initiated by the PF Government and not these who are in office.

dumping at Monze town school grounds,” he complained. But a resident Mr Samuel Hachandi blamed the council for failing to guide people on where to dump garbage. “If the council could give us a proper timetable of the days they come to collect garbage, this issue can end. In the entire Manangu ward, we only have one garbage bay, so the council must increase places of dumping garbage for collection,” Mr Hachandi said. But Monze Town Council health educator, Malawi Handema, advised residents to be responsible and help the local authority manage waste. “Some of this solid waste can be recycled and you can be generating income if only you knew.Let’s stop this habit of dumping garbage anyhow,” Mr Handema said. And Southern Province CSPR coordinator, Edina Kumwenda, said effective development could only happen when citizens engaged their leaders on matters affecting them. “As CSPR with sponsorship from GIZ we are implementing LoPaGo program to encourage you citizens to engage your leaders and people in offices so that you discuss issues affecting you like the case of solid waste management,” Ms Kumwenda said.

Daily Nation, Educating Zambia!

BIOLOGY LESSON On today’s pupil’s forum in Biology will look at the Cells. This topic is at Grade ten(10) level of the Zambian syllabus.At the end of this lesson,learners should able to: • Define a cell • Describe the structure of a plant and animal cells • Identify the difference between a plant cell and animal cell CELLS Cells are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Therefore they are observed using microscopes. A microscope is an instrument used to magnify images of objects that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There are two groups of microscopes. These are light and electron microscopes. The light microscope shows a simple structure of a cell while the electron microscope shows a detailed or ultrastructure of a cell. A cell is a basic unit of life or basic unit of a living organism or functional unit of a living organism. Simple Structure of a Plant Cell and an Animal Cell

Similarities between animal and plant cells They both have cell membranes, cytoplasm and nucleus Differences between animal and plant cells

Plant Cell

Animal Cell

Has cellulose cell wall

Does not have cellulose cell wall

Has large permanent vacuole Has chloroplasts Has regular shape and bigger size

Does not have large permanent vacuole Does not have chloroplasts Has irregular shape and smaller size

Detailed structure/Ultrastructure of an Animal Cell

Nucleus: This part is responsible for controlling cell activities and storage of genetic information on threads of DNA called chromosomes. It is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear membrane which has openings called nuclear pores. The inside of the nucleus contains a fluid called the nucleoplasm and a dense body of DNA called the nucleolus.

Ciliated cells

Cell membrane: This part is made of lipids and proteins and is responsible for controlling the substances that enter and leave the cells. It is adapted for this function by being selectively/partially permeable. This means it allows some substances to pass through it but prevents others from passing through. The substances that cross the cell membrane freely include gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) and water because their molecules have small sizes. On the other hand, substances such as urea whose molecules are large do not freely cross the cell membrane but use special carrier proteins to do so.

Adaptations • Presence of cytoplasmic hairs called cilia • A high concentration of mitochondria in the cytoplasm to generate energy for movements of the cilia

Cytoplasm: This is a jelly-like fluid made of water and dissolved substances such as proteins, salts and sugars. It contains suspended cell structures called organelles and is the site for cell activities. Note: The three parts (nucleus, cytoplasm and cell membrane) are collectively called the protoplasm. The protoplasm is defined as the living part of the cell. Mitochondrion (plural: mitochondria): These are rodshaped or sausage-shaped structures in the cell. This is where respiration takes place. For this reason mitochondria are called the power house of the cell. Ribosomes: These are small round structures in the cell where protein synthesis takes place. Some ribosomes float freely in the cytoplasm while others are attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum. Endoplasmic Reticulum: This is a network of membranes used for transportation of substances within the cytoplasm. There are two types of endoplasmic reticulum, namely smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum. Rough endoplasmic reticulum has ribosomes on its surface and transports proteins. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes on its surface and transports lipids. Golgi Bodies: These are a pile of flattened vesicles which modify and carry proteins such as enzymes from the sites of synthesis to the sites of reaction. They are collectively called the Golgi apparatus. Chloroplasts: These are oval-shaped structures found in plant cells. They carry out photosynthesis. They contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which absorbs light energy for photosynthesis.

Detailed structure/Ultrastructure of a Plant Cell

Functions of Cell Parts

These are cells found in the inner lining of the respiratory tract and the oviducts. • In the respiratory tract they sweep out mucus containing dust particles and germs. • In the oviduct they move the ovum towards the uterus.

Vacuole: This is a fluid filled space inside the cytoplasm of a plant cell. It contains a fluid called cell sap (a solution of sugars and salts in water) and is surrounded by a membrane called tonoplast. The concentration of the cell sap plays a role in the movement of water into and out of the cell.

Root Hair cell: These are cells found near the tips of roots Functions • Absorption of water and mineral salts • Anchor the plant in the ground Adaptations • Has an elongated outgrowth (long extension) which increases the surface area for faster diffusion during absorption. • Absence of chloroplast to create more room for absorption. • High concentration of mitochondria to provide energy for active absorption/transport of mineral salts. In addition, root hair cells are numerous which further increase their surface area.

Cell wall: This is the outermost boundary of the plant cell. It is made of a substance called cellulose. It is important for protection against damage and prevention of bursting when the plant cell gains a lot of water. It also gives shape to the plant cell. It is fully permeable to all substances. Cell Specialization New cells are formed from already existing cells by cell division in an organism. At first, they are all similar in structure. But in order to be suited for their functions they have to undergo cell specialization. This is a process by which a cell undergoes specific changes in structure and chemical composition of the cytoplasm in order to perform a specific function. Examples of specialized cells are ciliated cells, root hair cells, xylem vessels, guard cells, nerve cells, muscle cells, white blood cells and red blood cells.

RWANDA BEGINS VACCINATING VULNERABLE PERSONS AGAINST COVID-19 KIGALI - Rwanda has started its first phase of vaccination against Covid-19 with the limited 1, 000 doses of the Moderna vaccine administered to highrisk groups, including frontline workers. The first and primary beneficiaries of the Covid-19 jab will get it for free. The Ministry of Health says the limited initial doses were “acquired through international partnership in limited quantities” though the country anticipates receiving additional doses in the coming weeks to allow it to expand the vaccination exercise. Rwanda expects to receive at least 996, 000 doses of AstraZeneca and 102, 960 doses of the Pfizer vaccine between February and March. These doses will be given in the second phase of vaccination. The country expects to acquire vaccines in the second roll-out from the Covax Facility - a global initiative aimed at equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines and African Union’s Africa Medical Supplies Platform.

11 killed in rebel raids in Lubumbashi, say local authorities KINSHASA - Eleven people, including one child, were killed in Democratic Republic of Congo on Sunday when rebels attacked two military posts in the southeastern mining hub of Lubumbashi, local authorities said. Government forces were able to repel the twin attacks by dozens of armed militants and the situation is now fully under control, provincial interior minister Moise Mpanga said in a video statement. Three Congolese soldiers, seven rebel fighters and one 10-year-old girl died in the fighting, he said. Congo’s second-largest city is the capital of the mineralrich province of Haut-Katanga, where mining companies such as Ivanhoe and MMG have concessions. The attacks follow an incursion into Lubumbashi last September by proindependence rebels, who beheaded two policemen and killed one soldier as they sought to seize strategic buildings before they were pushed back. – REUTERS/BBC.

The first beneficiaries of the Covid-19 jab in Rwanda will get it for free. “Rwanda’s Covid-19 vaccination plan is ready with infrastructure, protocols, and personnel in place,” the Ministry of Health

said in a statement issued on Sunday. The country also rolled out a mass testing exercise for Kigali city residents with coronavirus symptoms and contacts of Covid-19 patients an exercise that is expected to guide the process of easing restrictions and reopening the economy. By Saturday, Rwanda had registered 67 news coronavirus cases with 17, 267 positive cases since the pandemic was first reported in the country. It has also recorded 14, 477 recoveries and 236 deaths after a result of Covid-19. Health Minister Daniel Ngamije recently said Rwanda is prepared to receive more one million doses of Covid-19 AstraZeneca and Pfizer vaccines in mid-February. Dr Ngamije said the ultra-cold freezers and containers are in place in each province for proper storage and distribution of vaccines. Rwanda targets to vaccinate 20 percent of the population in 2021 and eight million people in two years, according to the Health Ministry. - The East African

DEFIANT ZUMA FACES JAIL JOHANNESBURG - The Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State Capture will approach the Constitutional Court seeking an order that former President Jacob Zuma is in contempt of court. And should the court find him guilty then, it should impose a prison sentence, said Deputy Chief Justice Raymond Zondo yesterday. Last year the commission laid a complaint with law enforcement agencies following Zuma’s walk-out of the inquiry, in defiance of a summons issued against him. The secretary of the commission had also been instructed to lay a criminal complaint against Zuma for not appearing from January 18 to 22, 2021. However, yesterday, Zondo said because Zuma had repeatedly defied the commission by walking out in November last year, and defying the subpoena for him to appear in January, his apparent contempt for the commission was serious. He also said it was a “pity” Zuma chose not to appear before the commission this week. Zuma has previously made it clear that he would rather face jail time than appear before the commission. Zuma’s lawyers, Mabuza Attorneys, wrote to the

CHAKWERA CRACKS WHIP …as head of Covid taskforce fired over funds misuse LILONGWE - Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera has fired the co-chair of a taskforce overseeing government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, amid allegations over misuse of US$7.7 million. The co-chair of the taskforce, John Phuka, and the head of disaster management, James Chiusiwa, were sacked “for showing a lack of toughness in demanding accountability.” The president also suspended 12 other members of the team for failing to maintain proper records of how they used public funds. The suspensions will pave way for an investigation which will lead to prosecution of culprits, he said. A report by the country’s ombudsman released in November said there was lack of transparency and accountability in the implementation of the country’s Covid-19 preparedness and response plan. President Chakwera said he will include representatives

of civil societies, the anticorruption bureau and the Malawi Human Rights Commission into the taskforce. But the main opposition party, Democratic Progressive Party has faulted the inclusion of the anti-corruption body and rights commission into the team. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe has received its first 200, 000 doses of the Sinopharm Covid-19 vaccine, donated by China. The consignment arrived yesterday in a Air Zimbabwe flight and was handed over to the government by the Chinese ambassador to the country. An additional 600, 000 doses ordered by the Zimbabwean government are expected to arrive in March. In Rwanda, the authorities have started immunising its healthcare workers against Covid-19, the health ministry said on Sunday. An official in the ministry told the BBC that immunisation with the Pfizer vaccine started last week in a few hospitals in the capital, Kigali. – BBC.

WHO concerned about Ebola resurgence in West Africa Former president Jacob Zuma at the Zondo commission. commission, informing its officials of this claiming the summons issued for Zuma to appear before Zondo was “irregular.” Last month, the Constitutional Court ruled that Zuma was compelled to appear before the commission and that, when he did appear, he could not remain silent. The apex court also ordered that Zuma had to show that by answering a question truthfully, he would be incriminating himself. However, Zuma’s lawyers said in the letter that his review

application against Zondo’s refusal to recuse himself was, “... yet to be determined by the court.” The letter also states the summons calling for Zuma to appear before the inquiry, “... is irregular and not in line with the fourth order of the Constitutional Court judgment of January 28, 2021.” “Appearing before DCJ Zondo in the circumstances, would undermine and invalidate the review application over his decision not to recuse himself. – NEWS24.

GENEVA - The World Health Organisation (WHO) has expressed concern over the resurgence of Ebola in West Africa and activated response efforts. Regional Director Matshidiso Moeti said the agency was “ramping up readiness.” Guinea’s health ministry declared an Ebola outbreak on Sunday.

Biden warns democracy is fragile after Trup acquittal WASHINGTON - US President Joe Biden has said his predecessor Donald Trump’s acquittal for inciting mob violence is a reminder that “democracy is fragile.” In the Senate on Saturday, the trial ended with a 57-43 vote in favour of conviction. Responding to the acquittal, President Biden said: “This sad chapter in our history has reminded us that democracy is fragile. That it must always be defended. That we must be ever vigilant. That violence and extremism has no place in America. And that each of us has a duty and responsibility as Americans, and especially as leaders, to defend the truth and to defeat the lies.” – BBC.

Tuesday 16 February, 2021 winning streak snapped. Denver played without Gary Harris (adductor), P.J. Dozier (hamstring) and Will Barton (personal) and then lost Millsap after he was hit in the thigh on a screen by Caruso late in the second quarter. Despite the shortened rotation, the Nuggets led by 12 at halftime and increased it in the third quarter. After Marc Gasol hit a corner 3-pointer, Denver went on a 9-2 run, capped by a five-point trip. Campazzo was fouled on a 3-pointer and hit the free throw, and Murray hit a technical free throw to make it 97-79. Denver led by as many as 21 in the fourth quarter and cruised to the win. The game was tied at 33 after the first quarter and the Lakers grabbed a 49-42 lead on a three-point play by Davis midway through the second, but the Nuggets came back strong in the final 6:19 of the half. Campazzo and Michael Porter Jr. hit 3-pointers and Jokic made four free throws in a 15-2 run that put Denver ahead 60-53. Davis then was fouled by Jokic and after hitting two foul shots gingerly walked to the locker room. Denver then scored 10 straight points and took a 7361 lead into the break. – REUTERS.

Nadal gathers strength as injuries strike rivals FOR a player who was all doom and gloom about his fitness on the eve of the Australian Open, Rafa Nadal emerged as an unlikely pillar of strength on day eight as injuries cut a swathe through the men’s draw yesterday. Nadal’s bid for a record 21st Grand Slam crown gathered pace with a 6-3 6-4 6-2 demolition of Fabio Fognini that pushed the Spaniard into his 13th quarter-final at Melbourne Park. The lower back strain that forced Nadal to miss the ATP Cup is now disappearing in the rear-view mirror and he heads into his next clash against fifth seed Stefanos

Tsitsipas without having dropped a set. “The first set without a doubt has been my best level in the tournament,” Nadal told reporters after routing 16th seed Fognini on a sunbathed afternoon at Rod Laver Arena. “It’s normal, too, because I was able to practise for two days in a row. I’m excited about playing that quarter-finals match. “If we compare how I was five days ago and how I am today’s situation, it’s different, and my perspective and excitement is completely different, too.” While Nadal booked his 43rd Grand Slam quar-

topping the group before the final group games. Chipata Boys FC finished Group C unbeaten with 10-points after thumping CSS Petauke 7-1 in their final group game at Automotive Futsal Arena. But despite losing the final group game, Petauke marched on to the knock out stage after finishing second in Group C with nine points. PFL second division club ZANACO FC finished Group D ahead of Premier League clubs TAMANGA Juldan and Monze George to qualify alongside Kitwe Bullets who

ter-final with two hours and 16 minutes of work against Fognini, Tsitsipas did not lift a racket against ninth seed Matteo Berrettini, who pulled out with an abdominal strain. Norwegian Casper Ruud’s hopes of a maiden Grand Slam quarter-final were also undone by an abdominal injury as he retired two sets in against Russian Andrey Rublev. Players’ fitness at the Grand Slam has been under the microscope after they spent two weeks in mandatory hotel quarantine, with some blaming their exits on limited preparations. Defending champion Novak Djokovic, who said he had torn an abdominal muscle against Taylor Fritz, has soldiered on and was able to despatch Milos Raonic on Sunday to book a quarter-final against Alexander Zverev. – REUTERS.

Chiefs set to face Wydad on Friday KAIZER Chiefs will take on Wydad Casablanca in their re-arranged African Champions League tie in Cairo on Friday after the Confederation of African Football ordered the Moroccan club to find an alternate venue in a neutral country. Egypt have agreed to the match being played at the Assalam Stadium in Cairo, the Royal Moroccan Football Federation said on its website yesterday. The Group C match was

scheduled for Casablanca last Saturday, at the start of the group phase but Moroccan authorities refused to allow the South African club to enter the country over concern about a spread of the Covid-19 virus. The South Africa variant of the novel coronavirus has been described as highly contagious and travel from the country to many countries worldwide has been banned. CAF ordered Wydad to organise the game at a neutral venue

but gave them just the weekend to sort our arrangements and said the game must be played by Saturday, February 20. Chiefs, who are making their first appearance in the group phase of the Champions League, will likely have to postpone their DStv Premiership clash with AmaZulu at Soccer City tomorrow to travel to Cairo. Horoya of Guinea beat Petro Atletico of Angola 2-0 on Saturday in the opening group game. -SUPERSPORTS
