Ambient Water Quality Standards and Guidelines for Raw Water (What are they and what benefits do they bring) By: Frank C. Nyoni

(Senior Environmental and Water Quality Officer)

Sponsored by

350 key stakeholders. The six Catchment Specific Standards and one Guideline have now been Gazetted for use under Gazette Notice No. 88 of 2021.

What are they?

For a long time now, Zambia has been using water quality standards for drinking water to regulate the quality of raw water in natural water bodies.

Though not recommended, the country has had no choice in the absence of not having ambient water quality standards specifically meant for raw water. This not only made the cost of doing business high but also did not help much in sustaining the aquatic ecosystem.

Benefits of the Standards and Guidelines • Reduced cost of doing business – Good ambient water means industries which heavily rely on water for their process systems will have the cost of doing their business lowered because the water being supplied for industrial processing would not need as much treatment, cleaning or boiling as compared to using polluted water sources.

Ambient water quality standards are the allowable amounts of materials, as a concentration of pollutants, in water. The standards are set to protect against anticipated adverse effects on human health or welfare, wildlife, or the environment, with a margin of safety in the case of human health.

In Zambia, raw water which are in their ambient state (water in rivers, lakes, dams, groundwater), are usually measured against Drinking Water Quality Standards which are meant for processed or treated water. Limits for pollutants which can be discharged into water bodies and the environment by industries or mining activities are regulated by the Effluent Discharge Limits provided under the Environmental Management Act No. 12 of 2011. Therefore, the thresholds for ambient water quality standards are somewhere in between Drinking Water Quality Standards and Effluent Discharge Limits. This is the level of water quality required to keep a water body in its natural or ambient state. Ambient water quality standards have thus been developed to safeguard water resources from adverse effects arising from pollution through mining, industrial, agricultural, or anthropogenic activities.

For Zambia, the Ambient Water Quality Standards were proposed to be Catchment specific. This meant taking into account the unique charac-

• Preserved Natural Habitat - Water kept in its ambient state is sufficient to support natural habitats and preserve the integrity of the ecosystem.

• Protection of Zambian Public from water borne diseases –Through promotion of public health and the environment.

• Effective regulatory framework for raw water -By providing water quality legislation in Zambia as a basis by which performance may be evaluated. teristics of each of the six catchments when developing the standards. This was important because catchments have varying water quality baseline levels and are impacted differently by industrial, infrastructural, or other developments in each of the Catchments.

The standards are important to the Authority because they are meant to protect public health and the environment, and to maintain a standard of water quality consistent with its designated uses. Additionally, ambient water quality standards are important because if water is kept in its ambient state, the quality of water is sufficient

to support natural habitats and preserve the integrity of ecosystems in water bodies in Zambia.

The Process The Authority spearheaded a team comprising; Zambezi River Authority (ZRA), National Water and Sanitation Council (NWASCO), Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) and the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) as the Secretariat in the development of ZS 1182 (Ambient Water Quality Standards) and ZS 1183 (Ambient Water Quality Guidelines). The process was done through a multi-stakeholder approach which involved over

• Establishment of ambient water quality goals – The standards will serve as the regulatory basis for establishing water-quality-based effluent limitations, they will also provide a programmatic basis for water quality management and implementation.

• Improved water resources management – By promoting equitable access to water of acceptable quality for national development in Zambia.

The general public is called upon to remain vigilant and report to WARMA any person or institution carrying out any activities that pose a threat of pollution to any water body in Zambia.

ZESCO LOSSES ARREST BOWMAN LUSAMBO, ANNOY STATE MUSHIMBA, PF TELLS POLICE From Page 1

The utility company buys power from IPPs at K1.98 to K2.86kWh and sells it to domestic consumers at K1.10/kWh, while the interim selling price to mining firms is K2.05/kWh. Energy Minister, Mathew Nkhuwa, said the IPPs had assured Government that they were ready to negotiate with Zesco.

Mr Nkhuwa said he expected the Zesco management to constitute a team to start the negotiations He said in an interview yesterday that he was shocked that Zesco had not started the process with the IPPs. "These negotiations are not supposed to be done

by Government but Zesco need to come with a team that will initiate the process to begin. As Government we did our part to engage the IPPs and they

agreed after hearing our complaints over the high price of power.

"So the onus is on Zesco to ensure that the negotiations are done and are concluded on time because they are the ones who are affected," Mr Nkhuwa said.

Mr Nkhuwa said it was high time Zesco did the right things instead of waiting for the government to take a centre stage.

"For us as Government we shall just be waiting to hear from Zesco about all what they are doing now.

Zesco is expected to give us feedback so that we know whether what has been agreed upon is ok or not," he said.

Millions of dollars are owed in debt to banks and IPPS such as Maamba Collieries Limited, Itezhi-tezhi Power Corporation, Ndola Energy Corporation Limited as well as Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Corporation, amongst others.

MPs, COUNCILLORS JITTERY OVER G12 CERTIFICATE From Page 1 Some were indicated to possess a “Form V” certificate even when mathematically they did not qualify for one when their date of birth is considered.

The ConCourt held that what is required is a Grade 12 which is synonymous with the School Certificate (with required number of passes) or equivalent (similar qualification from other countries etc).

The tertiary or such qualifications are not equivalent!

So even if a candidate has a diploma, degree or any higher qualification but has no School Certificate then such a person would not be eligible!

With this pronouncement by the ConCourt a lot of current MPs and Councillors are likely going to be affected unless they have upgraded their school qual-

ifications.

And according to the Examination Council of Zambia O level is Grade 12 level opposite to A Level and it is a pass from 1 to 8 in any subject.

School Certificate includes a pass in six subjects with one credit including English or a pass in five subjects with two credits including English.

Meanwhile, the Golden Party of Zambia (GPZ) has called on security wings to ensure only candidates with genuine Grade 12 results do file in their nomination papers for the August 12 general elections.

GPZ deputy secretary general, Raphael Chiyuka, said the latest ruling by the Constitutional Court on the academic eligibility of aspiring candidates had victimised many people.

John Magufuli

By SIMON MUNTEMBA THE Police should not hesitate to arrest Bowman Lusambo and Brian Mushimba if they abrogate the Covid-19 guidelines again because no one is above the law, the Patriotic Front (PF) has said.

PF deputy Secretary General, Mumbi Phiri, has also challenged the Police to apprehend any party member using illegal number plates

such as ‘ECL 2021’ as doing so was against the law.

Ms Phiri, at a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday said the party was dismayed by Mr Lusambo, who is Kabushi MP and his Kankoyo counterpart, Dr Mushimba, for pulling huge crowds during presentation of their applications for re-adoption, disregarding Covid-19 guidelines.

Ms Phiri described the conduct of the two PF MPs as irresponsible considering

that they went against social distancing and other health measures.

She challenged the police that just like they beat up PF members at the Magistrate Court in Lusaka last year, not to spare Mr Lusambo, Dr Mushimba or anyone else who would break the law.

Meanwhile, Ms Phiri has urged the police to apprehend anybody using illegal number plates regardless of political affiliations.

“Parliament have already ruled on the floor of the House that using illegal number plates such as ECL 2021, CK or HH is not allowed,” she said.

When contacted for a comment, Dr Mushimba said he could not say anything as he was not formally communicated to by the PF secretariat, but reiterated that Covid-19 was deadly and appealed to the public to adhere to all the health guidelines.

Marshland bosses’ case unravels

By CHARLES MUSONDA A WITNESS has testified against one of the Marshland Consortium Limited directors, Tobias Milambo in the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court.

Mr Shadreck Duma, an assistant property valuer, told the court yesterday that Milambo allegedly instructed him to write and sign a letter addressed to Professional Insurance Authority (PIA), which purported to show that Chikwendo & Associates had conducted a search on a property belonging to Milambo at the Ministry of Lands when in fact not.

Mr. Duma testified that Milambo also forced him to sign another document after telling him not to worry as his boss, Clement Chikwendo was aware of it.

This is in a case Milambo, 48, a chartered insurer of Woodlands, Nachi Musonda, 33, an insurer of Chongwe, and Richard Lubermba, 31, an insurer of Chalala have been charged with 15 counts of forgery, obtaining money by false pretences, and uttering false documents, among them Ultimate Insurance Company Limited shareholder resolutions.

The witness said on February 9, 2018 he received a call from Milambo who needed services from Chikwendo and Associates of inspecting his property and asked that the two go together to Chinyunyu in Kafue where the property was located.

Mr Duma said when they got there, Milambo told him that the land in question was seven hectares and had structures on it.

He said after finishing inspecting the property Milambo told him that there was another adjacent bare land which was also seven hectares and told him to add it to the other.

He said he took pictures of the structure and the land, took field notes and took the same with the document he was given from the council to Mr Chikwendo who prepared the evaluation report Milambo wanted.

He said the report was given to Milambo on February 14, 2018 but a few days later Milambo called and told him

that the evaluation report had been rejected by the PIA because it did not want the two seven-hectare portions of land to be added together.

Mr Duma said later there was a meeting at PIA which he attended with Mr Chikwendo to look at issues of the extent of land and value and after the meeting a second evaluation report was ready on March 22,

2018.

He said when he called Milambo to collect the evaluation report, he told him to take it to PIA and give it to a Mr Chitoshi which he did.

Mr Duma said that on March 23, 2018 Milambo called him and told him that there was a letter which he wanted him to sign for him which had to do with doing

a search at the ministry of Lands.

Mr Duma said that on February 1, 2021 he received a call from the police telling him that they would need him to go to their office so that he could help them with the evaluation report which they had.

He said the police had two reports on one property done by his company.

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT IT is ironic that some Zambians want to misrepresent the government’s empowerment programmes as being targeted at Patriotic Front sympathisers.

Yet, as government officials have explained, these empowerment programmes are directed at all Zambians who have viable projects that need funding to kick start.

It is this misconception planted by lies that has denied people an opportunity to take advantage of the empowerment programmes.

Government has gone on record as explaining that one’s political affiliation does not matter. What counts are the proposals requiring funding.

Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela was yesterday explaining for the umpteenth time the K30 million empowerment fund for artistes launched by the government.

The empowerment fund for the arts was coincided with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and was meant to act as a stimulus package for the artistes.

As Mr Chitotela said on Radio Phoenix “Let the people talk” programme, it was not meant for PF sympathisers.

Mr Chitotela said that the project was beyond any political affiliation and was given based on people's applications not according to their political leaning.

In August last year, Government launched the Presidential Choral and Arts Festival and the K30 million youth empowerment scheme meant to assist artists during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following the launch, 152 artistes in various categories were empowered from the K30 million out of the over 1, 000 artists that had applied for the funds.

The youth empowerment scheme targeting arts was one of the interventions that were structured to provide relief in the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic.

During Youth Day celebrations in Lusaka last Friday, President Edgar Lungu unveiled a robust youth empowerment programme spread across the cross, and pledged that he will always support them.

He handed over fuel tankers, Rosa minibuses, and earth moving equipment as empowerment to youths’ cooperatives from across the country during the 2021 national Youth Day celebrations themed:” Enhancing National Development through Sustainable Youth Partnerships.”

We implore youths across the political divide to take advantage of these support programme and not listen to some of their political leaders who do not think through their actions.

What any genuine political leader should be doing is to harness the vast army of jobless youths and guide them into productive ventures through which the government can help them.

There are many sectors ranging from agriculture, aquaculture, mining, transport that are open for the youth.

For example, what should stop youths in Siavonga, a perceived opposition stronghold, from engaging in aquaculture on Lake Kariba?

We say so because Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock Permanent Secretary Benson Mwenya recently said the aquaculture Youth Funds are still available.

Dr Mwenya said in an interview that youths should visit the ministry and get information regarding the funds.

Rather than engage in acts of hooliganism, youths should take stock of their lives and decide to change for the better.

What harm is there in taking up the offer from Government if will improve your livelihood, why should one choose to be a political hoodlum that might only see you end up in a correctional facility?

Youths must think positively and reject misconceptions about genuine empowerment programmes.

K30M ARTISTES’ FUND NOT FOR PF CADRES, SAYS CHITOTELA

By NOEL IYOMBWA

T

HE K30 million empowerment programme for artistes, was not meant for Patriotic Front (PF) sympathisers but for every artiste, says Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela.

Mr Chitotela said that the project was beyond any political affiliation and was given based on people's applications not according to their political leaning.

The minister was speaking when he featured on “Let the People Talk” programme on Radio Phoenix yesterday.

He said the programme was a huge success as the art sector was one of the catalysts for promoting local tourism.

“The empowerment was beyond any political affiliation and that all parts of the country were catered for,” Mr Chitotela said.

In August last year, Government launched the Presidential Choral and Arts Festival

and the K30 million youth empowerment scheme meant to assist artists during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Following the launch, 152 artistes in various categories were empowered from the K30 million out of the over 1, 000 artists that had applied for the funds.

I did not complain about G12 ConCourt ruling -GBM

By SILUMESI MALUMO GEOFFREY Bwalya Mwamba has rubbished reports that he bitterly complained about the recent Constitutional Court judgement on Grade 12 certificate holders who are eligible for elections.

Mr Mwamba, popularly known as GBM, said it was all UPND’s “desperate” propaganda to cause confusion in

UPND CADRES PLEAD GUILTY THE 30 United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres who were arrested for disorderly conduct on Youth Day in Kitwe, have pleaded guilty to the charge.

The suspects who include 15 females and three juveniles are charged with one count of idle and disorderly conduct.

When the matter came up for plea before two magistrates, Kampinda Chipamo and Malota Phiri, the cadres pleaded guilty to the charge.

According to the facts, on March 12, this year the 30 conducted themselves in a manner likely to cause the breach of the peace After the court appearance, the cadres were sent to Kamfinsa Correctional Facility and will be back in court on Friday for presentation of written facts, hearing of bail application and sentencing. – ZNBC.

the Patriotic Front (PF).

Reports suggested that Mr Mwamba, who is PF deputy national mobilisation chairperson, accused President Edgar Lungu of being behind the judgement.

Mr Mwamba however said in an interview that UPND leaders were too desperate and were now trying to spread falsehoods against him because they know his weight was dangerous for them in the

August elections.

He said at no time did he issue a statement attacking President Lungu or suggest that he was the one who pushed the Constitutional Court to stiffen the qualification of Grade 12 clause.

Mr Mwamba accused UPND leaders of circulating the “falsehoods” against him because they wanted to get him out of their way.

Court rejects Chishimba Kambwili’s illness excuse

By CHARLES MUSONDA LUSAKA Magistrate Felix Kaoma yesterday rejected National Democratic Congress (NDC) leader Chishimba Kambwili’s request for another adjournment on grounds that he could not stand trial as he had suffered from high blood pressure and diabetes.

Kambwili sought the adjournment to enable him seek medical attention for what he called constant high blood pressure and diabetes but Mr. Kaoma said there was a high risk of turning the court into a circus if he continued allowing adjournments on same grounds of illness.

He agreed with one of the private prosecutors, Mr Jonas Zimba that the court could not continue adjourning the case on the basis of Kambwili being sick because there would be no progress in the matter.

He said while sicknesses was inevitable to immortal human beings, the case’s history poses the danger of not

concluding the matter within the expected time especially that the case was being privately prosecuted, which was an expensive venture as every adjournment attracted costs.

Kambwili was scheduled to open his defence in the matter he has been found with a case to answer for defamation of the President by claiming that Lusaka business executive Valden Findlay was allegedly using the Presidential jet to courier drugs.

Mr. Kaoma said even at the last sitting when the case was adjourned at the instance of Kambwili being sick, yesterday the same sickness had been advanced without medical proof.

Earlier when the case was called for opening of defence, one of the defence lawyers, Mr Gilbert Phiri applied for the adjournment citing Kambwili’s high BP and diabetic levels.

The case was, however, abruptly adjourned to April 16, 2021 after Mr. Kaoma was informed that Kambwili's sickness had continued.

UPND bigwig defects to PF

By SIMON MUNTEMBA IT does not make sense to continue supporting a perpetual loser who keeps lying that his votes are stolen when Zambians have just rejected him because of espousing bad politics, former UPND national youth trustee Royd Moonga has said.

Mr Moonga, who defected from UPND to join the Patriotic Front (PF) yesterday said he could no longer continue supporting a losing team that have excluded itself from being part of national development and leadership.

He said he has decided to call it quits after 17 years of being an active member of UPND upon realising that the party was just full of fault-finding, bitterness, hatred and tribalism.

“We have a man in UPND who is so decorated academically and businesswise, but he has been losing because his type of politics is different from how the PF espoused when in opposition when it comes to offering checks and balances,” he said.

Mr Moonga said the UPND has kept its members in bondage by encouraging them not to accept Government ruled by any other person from other regions apart from their own.

In welcoming him, PF deputy secretary-general Mumbi Phiri said he should feel at home as there “is no first, middle or last members in PF.”

"You also need to set up an environment to partner with the private sector which may play important roles in certain aspects," he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Mushimba said Government would continue offering grants to the institutions of higher learning to assists in different kinds of innovations for value addition.

Lunte chief wants investors in agro, mining

BY STEPHEN MWEWA (Reg. No. 1936/007721/06) | (ISIN: ZAE000012084) | (JSE Share code: SHP) (NSX Share code: SRH) | (LuSE Share code: SHOPRITE) | (“the Group”)

A TRADITIONAL leader of Lunte district has urged Government to source for investors, who should tap into the agriculture and mining sectors in his chiefdom.

Chief Mukupa Kaoma in Northern Province said he was earger to have investors because his chiefdom has fertile land for farming and endowed with precious stones.

He was speaking in an interview.

Chief Mukupa Kaoma said once there was investment in the two sectors in his chiefdom, employment would be created for the local people, subsequently uplifting their living standards.

The traditional leader also urged Government to ensure that Zacharia Chanda/Chitoshi road was tarred so as to woo investors to his chiefdom.

He added that a good road network would open the area for various economic activities.

Meanwhile, the Chief has applauded Government for electrifying Mukupa Kaoma chiefdom adding that his subjects were happy that the area has finally been electrified this year.

We are proud to report the Group’s sales increasing by 4.7% for the six months. Within that, our core Supermarkets RSA segment, representing 78.0% of Group sales, increased sales by 5.6%.

Adjusting for the closure of our RSA LiquorShop business as a result of nationwide COVID-19 lockdown regulations, our Supermarkets RSA business grew sales by 7.8%. This is an incredible result given that our customer base spans the entire South African food retail spectrum.

Our South African supermarkets’ internal selling price inflation of 4.3% for the six months reflects our unwavering commitment to our customers on price. In true Shoprite style it was a collective effort across our Shoprite, Usave, Checkers and Checkers Hyper banners and the team is to be commended. The Supermarkets RSA business has achieved 22 months of uninterrupted market share gains and in the six months to 27 December 2020 the Group created a total of 4 305 new jobs.

In significantly more adverse conditions, our Supermarkets Non-RSA continuing operations achieved constant currency sales growth of 0.9%.

The business remained vigilant, combating the challenges faced across Africa, however, currency devaluations again eroded much of our efforts.

We closed the last of our Kenyan stores in February 2021 and are at the approval stage in terms of the sale of our Nigeria supermarket operation. From here, our capital allocated to the region remains at a minimum and we continue to manage costs as best as we can.

The successful launch of our Xtra Savings Rewards Programme in our South African based Shoprite supermarket chain following the success in Checkers, gave rise to another strategic milestone for the Group. Our Checkers and Shoprite Xtra Savings Rewards Programme now has the largest membership base in South Africa, with 17 million rewards members. The opportunities that this programme affords the Group and its valued customers are significant and to say we are optimistic with regard to the future for our business as a result, would be an understatement.

It is noteworthy that the Group increased trading profit by 18.3%, whilst making significant strides in other areas: borrowings declined by R5.9 billion to R5.5 billion, inventories reduced by R3.0 billion and we lived well within our means in terms of capital expenditure of R1.6 billion.

None of this was achieved in isolation.

It was due to the collective effort of the more than 140 000 employees across the Group, represented in areas not limited to our aforementioned supermarket operations, who came together daily to serve our customers and sustain the growth of this great company. It remained a difficult period in the context of COVID-19 which continued to weigh on our customers, our people and our operations and my acknowledgement and sincere thanks go out to all.

‘UPND is the most violent party’

By ROGERS KALERO IT is now evident that the UPND is the most violent party in Zambia and there is an urgent need to tame them before their barbaric behaviour gets out of hands, the United for Better Zambia (UBZ) has demanded.

ABZ president Hector Soondo said what happened in in Kitwe when UPND cadres clashed with Police who were deployed to ensure peace during the Youth Day celebrations was uncalled for.

Mr Soondo said it was unfortunate that UPND cadres could take advantage of Youth Day celebrations to engage in engage against the peace makers, who are the police.

“We are calling for police to investigate who sponsored those cadres to fight the police who were merely doing their job of controlling and ensuring that there was peace in the streets of Kitwe.

“If Police will allow this behaviour from UPND to continue, then the forthcoming elections will be something else,” Mr Soondo said. He said: “The UPND is on record claiming that PF is violent and that they only acted to defend themselves, now we want the UPND to tell us why they were fighting police officers on duty? Were they defending themselves against the police? The truth is that UPND is the most violent party,” he said. Mr Soondo said if UPND continued being violent, it was necessary to ban them from participating in the August 12 general elections as a way of preserving peace.

Meanwhile, Patriotic Front (PF) Chimwemwe constituency aspiring candidate Allen Banda has said, “it is cheap political campaign for opposition politicians to promise to create employment for the local people when they were the architects of privatization which sold many companies and brought about unemployment and untold misery in various communities”. Mr Banda said promises from the opposition UPND that they will create employment for the youths were cheap political campaigns which were not attainable, but merely wanted to use it to gain political mileage ahead of the August elections.

I am UPND, says ex Prisons chief Chato

Mr Chato

By KETRA KALUNGA

I AM a loyal United Party for National Development (UPND) member, says an aspiring candidate for Bwacha Constituency, Percy Chato.

Mr Chato, the former Zambia Correctional Service Commissioner-General, said he would stand in Bwacha constituency as a parliamentary candidate if adopted by the UPND. He said he has chosen to work with the UPND because he does not believe in how the Patriotic Front (PF) is running the country.

“I have already chosen to be a UPND member, adopted or not. If I am adopted I will lead, if am not adopted I will guide in the background so that we execute an effective operation to ensure that we have regime change in Bwacha constituency,”

“I have already chosen to be a UPND member, adopted or not. If I am adopted I will lead, if am not adopted I will guide in the background so that we execute an effective operation to ensure that we have regime change in Bwacha constituency,” Mr Chato said.

He was reacting to an invitation from callers to support the incumbent MP in the August 12 general elections during a live phone-in programme on Power FM in Kabwe yesterday.

Mr Chato promised a prosperous Kabwe with equal opportunities for all residents once adopted by the UPND and elected by the people.

He assured of an action-oriented leadership for the district which he said was stuck in time to experience economic growth.

“In order to address the inherent challenges that are in Kabwe that seem not to be addressed by our current elected leaders, I will provide a visionary leadership so that Kabwe experiences growth and success,” he said.

Mr Chato added that he would lobby for the reopening of Mulungushi Textiles and re-negotiate the conditions of partnership with the majority shareholders.

KCM WARNS OVER FAKE TENDER DOCUMENTS

By NATION REPORTER

K

ONKOLA Copper Mines (KCM) has warned its commercial partners and the public over a document circulated by unscrupulous people purporting that the Company has issued a tender for some mining equipment.

KCM’s Security Department has launched investigations in the matter to ascertain the ori-

gins of the fake document.

KCM General Manager Corporate Affairs, Shapi Shachinda said at no time had KCM issued any tenders for procurement of the listed heavy-duty pumps and underground rock drill.

Mr Shachinda said the document being circulated through social media was the work of criminally-minded characters who were hell-bent on causing panic in the market, financially harm KCM partners and bring the Company’s name into dis-

repute and public ridicule.

KCM will also engage the Zambia Police in trying to track down the originators of the dubious document for the law to take its course.

“This should be dismissed with the contempt its deserves,” he said in a statement.

Mr Shachinda said KCM and its subsidiaries, the KCM

SmelterCo Limited and Konkola Mineral Resources Limited, had established and systematic ways of procuring goods and services from old or new business partners through recognized channels and not via social media.

He said the Company encourages people seeking to do business with KCM to contact the Commercial department and not engage unauthorized third parties as doing so would be to the detriment of their

business interests and KCM would not held liable for any losses that may be incurred in such “dubious transactions.”

“KCM will also engage the Zambia Police in trying to track down the originators of the dubious document for the law to take its course. Needless to state that KCM reserves its rights under the circumstances and wishes to state that it will protect and enforce its rights to their fullest extent,” said Mr Shachinda.

Who owns the economy?

Dear Editor, A COUNTRY’S Balance of Payments (BoP) is a statistical record of all transactions between Zambians and the outside world. If the BoP is negative, then it means we import more than we export. If BoP is positive, then we export more than we import.

Balance of Payments has the following accounts: Balance of Current Account (BCA) - which accounts for imports, exports and aid Balance of Capital Account (BKA) - which accounts for FDI and portfolio investments Balance of Reserve Account (BRA) - which accounts for official reserves, gold etc Balance of Statistical Discrepancy (BSD) which is a figure inserted to account for omissions or errors in recording BoP. Zambia always has a positive BKA because we receive more investments than Zambians invest abroad, negative BCA because we import more than we export, Positive BRA because we always have reserves.

Zambia has for almost two years now been recording a positive BCA meaning the overall BoP has been positive.

Copper and Cobalt which

Wednesday 17 March, 2021

accounts for 78 percent of forex has been performing very well.

Copper prices now stand at $9147 per ton on LME. Zambia has more mines now than at any stage in its history!

There are hundreds of small and artisanal mines scattered across the country quietly creating holes in the bushes of Zambia.

Zambia has not been making debt payments since mid last year almost.

The big question is, where is the forex and all the money from copper, cobalt, gold and manganese mining going to?

When you drive from Kapiri up to Solwezi all you see are trucks! Trucks full of mineral resources!

Now the question is where is all that money going to? Why are we not seeing the money in Zambian banks? Why aren’t our forex inflows not increasing despite increased mining?

Who keeps the money from economic activities in this country? Who owns the economy? It’s just not adding up.

For me we need to answer these questions before we look at politics.

Thanks LUBINDA HAABAZOKA.

Real power in Africa

Civility in politics ahead of 2021 general elections Dear Editor, THE recent pledge by high ranking officers from the Zambia Police that they are prepared to deliver a peaceful poll is welcome and a positive way to stimulate public confidence.

The further assurance as per the directive by Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja (who was given a six-month performance-based contract to reform the police) to all provincial Commissioners of Police to engage political parties and other players is the route worth taking in a country that thrives on democracy.

Constitutional Court The recent sustained attacks on the judgement of the Constitutional Court which declared President Edgar Lungu as being eligible to seek a second term undermines democratic governance. Democracy demands every eligible candidate offer themselves for election, so is ECL. On our side, this is a wake up call for civility in politics and this entails political players must preserve the institutions responsible to administer and enforce the rule of law such as the courts, the police, among others.

The recent sustained attacks on the judgement of the Constitutional Court which declared President Edgar Lungu as being eligible to seek a second term undermines democratic governance. Democracy demands every eligible candidate offer themselves for election, so is

ECL. As regards the Police assurance, there is need for corresponding undertaking to supplement the police effort to guarantee our highly cherished peace.

It is therefore shameful for the new UPND spokesperson Mr Cornelius Mweetwa who is also among the longest serving MPs seeking to prolong their stay in Parliament justifying the harassment of police officers in Kitwe.

It is inexcusable that the legitimate efforts the police made to safeguard public order can be undermined and contemptuously referred to as “defence against provocation from the police.” The actions by the police cannot be termed as provocation as they are merely a legitimate law enforcement operation. This fragrant disrespect of the institutions of the government and the police in particular is lack of civility on the part of UPND and Mr Mweetwa.

The perpetual walkouts of UPND MPs in the outgoing National Assembly as opposed to being courageous enough and present their disagreements over proposed legislation is not civility.

Worse still, it is immoral for them to accept allowances over the Parliamentary proceedings they have stayed away from.

To promote civility, political parties with a fair following have a duty to take responsibility.

There is need to inculcate the values and sense of patriotism.

The process leading to the elections cannot be left to the police or Government institution alone, it is the collective responsibility of all democracy loving citizens.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Lusaka.

Mrs Tasila Lungu Mwansa

Failed MPs must pave way for new blood Dear Editor, IT’S mind baffling to see some leaders who were given chance to lead but failed still want to stand on the Patriotic Front ticket. I am wondering if they mean well for President Edgar Lungu and the party, even when they're being rejected openly by their own constituents.

Don Cole once said "if you know that your current situation is disadvantaging very important call the majority, kindly and calmly take some steps back and allow your colleagues to take a centre stage for your benefit and prolonged lifespan of the institution."

Do they really care? It's time to pave way for new blood so that our party can continue growing.

In Chawama constituency, we have a leadership vacuum like many other Lusaka constituencies but my focus is on the three so that I leave something for another day.

Ms Tasila Lungu has grown politically, and if she is to be given a chance to join the Manda Hill race, then PF is likely to win Chawama by a landslide. She has done more than the incumbent in a number of projects and humanitarian gestures.

She is soft spoken and humble but what makes her extraordinary is that

she is action-oriented.. If one was to ask which one is better, words or actions? A wise person would pick the latter.

Chipangali constituency needs new blood to attract more votes. Mr Vincent Mwale has lamentably failed despite being a cabinet minister. Leaders who have failed their community should not shorten the political lifespan of President Lungu and the PF as a whole.

If your applause is outdone by the complaints learn to allow the new blood to put things in order. It's time to protect President Lungu. For now think of President Lungu’s victory above yourself.

Mr Lubusha may have his weaknesses yet he is an Eastern bulldozer, a force to reckon with and to win Chipangali with the current state of affairs in the constituency, we need him.

Kanchibiya needs no other than Sunday Chanda, and the few times I have visited the constituency with him, and interviews I personally carried without his knowledge, I proudly say there will be no need to campaign with our lungs out once he is adopted to represent Kanchibiya.

With Mr Chanda at the helm PF is going to rake more votes for President Lungu.

CORNEL ZIMBA.

Dear Editor, WHEN western powerful nations have an agenda on the world scene, Africans can’t advance theirs utilising media owned by these powerful nations.

We shall only have true representation that wields real economic and political power, if we built our own banks, investment firms, mass media, pharmaceutical manufacturing, agricultural machinery manufacturing firms, shopping centres etc.

We need an economic revolution! We need a leverage over the western world, which is already in existence. The collective African buying power, using our natural resources, should be advantageous to us. If we utilised these resources by enriching and empowering our communities, the strength will show for itself.

Empowered communities have real political strength, even on the world stage!

Real economic power can only be achieved when we unify and commit to supporting Africanowned businesses.

Additionally, our political, economic and spiritual voices are always fragmented when we use western-owned mainstream social media platforms as our only source for networking.

We must have our own unified social networking platform to support the African revolution. In the current times, no revolution is possible without the unifying power of social media and proper networking.

The popular major social media platforms ignore our needs and our issues. Applications like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram delete truthful posts and suspend black African accounts to suppress their voices.

We cannot achieve anything if no unity of purpose is advanced within our communities.

But, as long as we get intimidated by the western world, like they did to Libyan Leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi’s vision to unify Africa, we shall always remain in our shells with our visions.

TWO INJURED ILLEGAL MINERS DISCHARGED

By JOHN KOMBE

TWO of the six illegal miners who were involved in a serious mine accident in Luanshya have been discharged from Roan General Hospital.

The illegal miners were buried alive on Saturday at Luanshya Copper Mine’s Roan Basin while conducting their illegal mining.

The accident happened

around 16:00 hours at the same point where three illegal miners died last year in November.

Ministry of Mines Director of mine safety, Mooya Lumamba, said two illegal miners were discharged while four were still in hospital.

He added that some illegal miners in Luanshya were reportedly stealing ore from a licensed mining operation.

He noted that the mine and

Police Service have tried to drive the illegal miners out of the mine area but they had been resisting Mr Lumamba however eexplained that this was not a case which the Mine Safety Department was mandated to regulate and as such it was a police case.

He said that the ministry can only help license holders to seek police intervention.

‘‘The mine and Police Service have tried to drive the illegal miners out of the mine area but they have been resisting’.’

Remain alert, PF members urged

By ROGERS KALERO

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) members must be alert and refute any form of propaganda from the opposition politicians about Government, newlyappointed PF Copperbelt acting Chairman Bernard Zulu has said.

Mr Zulu said the opposition was using social media propaganda to spread falsehoods and so it was imperative that committed PF members were alert and ensure that they dispelled all the falsehoods.

He urged members especially those at grass root level to explain the truth regarding the economic challenges the country was experiencing.

Mr Zulu, who held the position of provincial Secretary before he

was appointed acting provincial chairman, said party leaders should work towards attaining victory in the August elections.

Mr Zulu said he was grateful to President Edgar Lungu for showing confidence and trust in him by appointing him to the position of acting provincial chairman.

He said he appealed for support from various party structures in the province so that together they could take the party greater heights.

“I believe that loyalty to the party hierarchy and appointing authority is of vital importance, while humility and respect is also important when you are given chance to lead people. I will ensure that I promote unity among party structures,’’ he said.

TWELVE UPND cadres have been arrested after descending on PF cadres at Kyawama market in Solwezi.

The12 UPND cadres disrupted a PF mobilisation and empowerment meeting at Kyawama market which resulted into two PF members being assaulted.

North-western province Commissioner of police,

12 VIOLENT UPND CADRES NABBED Joe Njase, confirmed the incident and warned police will not tolerate violence before, during and after the August 12 general elections.

According to Mr Njase, the incident occurred on Monday around 16:00 hours when some PF members

were registering marketeers for empowerment when UPND cadres emerged and pounced on their opponents.

He stated that his officers would not tolerate anyone and were prepared to police the general elections.

"What people should

know going forward is that committing crime in the name of politics will not be tolerated at all, instead, it will immediately attract police officers’ attention.

“And whoever will involve themselves in such activities will be dealt with in accordance to the law

regardless of political affiliation," he added.

He said it was the responsibility of every citizens under Article 43 (a) of Zambian Constitution to be patriotic and promote development and peace as well as good image.

Mr Njase explained that

the empowerment funds were coming from the PF Solwezi central aspiring candidate Jackson Kungo.

"So, the UPND carders termed that as campaigning and prompted them to beat those who were organising and registering marketeers," he added.

STATE House is not an institution where anyone can get into without the mandate of Zambians, Foreign Affairs Minister Joe Malanji has said.

Mr Malanji said that President Edgar Lungi was not seeking for a third term, but a second term which he would get with the mandate from Zambians.

He said that some disgruntled elements in society were misleading people that President Lungu was not eligible when in fact they were very much aware that he qualifies to stand in the August 12 electionss Mr Malanji said the Zambian Constitution provides a tenure of office and not how many times one has been sworn-in.

He was speaking during a PF mobilization meeting in Livingstone on Monday.

Mr Malanji said that he was confident that President Edgar Lungu would go back to State House after August 12, this year.

He said that the Head of State has a mandate to provide guidance, leadership and development to the nation.

Fish companies fined for price fixing

By AARON CHIYANZO SEVEN fish fingerlings distributors have been fined up to 10 percent of their annual turnover by the Board of Commissioners of the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) for price fixing.

CCPC Senior Public Relations Office, Namukolo Kasumpa, said the decision was made after investigation in April which found that fish fingerlings producers and distributors were engaged in a cartel.

This is after they issued a public notice for an impending uniform price increment for the price of fish fingerlings.

Ms Kasumpa said the seven companies were Palabana Fisheries Limited, Mukasa Agro Solutions and Fish Farm Limited, Savana Streams Limited and Chirundu Bream Farm Limited.

Others were First Hatch Investment Limited, Iban Aquafish Solutions and Consultancy Limited and Msekese Fisheries Limited.

She said in statement that the collusive practices were contrary to Section 8 and 9 of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) No. 24 of 2010.

Ms Kasumpa said the investigation also revealed that there was no justification for all companies to have a common pricing policy.

This is because each company had different production and distribution costs, and would therefore not all take the same time to produce and distribute the fish fingerlings.

“The Board noted that the objective of the restrictive agreement not only increased prices of fish fingerlings but also reduced customer choice as competitive pricing was eliminated.

“Based on these facts, the Board of Commissioners decided to fine six (6) Fish companies 9 per cent and of their annual turnover and Palabana Fisheries Limited 10 per cent in accordance with Section 8 and 9 of the CCPA,” she said.

Ms Kasumpa warned businesses that were engaged in collusive arrangements to desist from such conduct.

KENYA GOES FOR COSTLY EUROBOND TO PAY OFF MATURING $8.5BN DEBTS

NAIROBI - Kenya’s National Treasury is considering tapping into the international capital markets with a fourth Eurobond issue in less than seven years to help pay off part of its debt obligations estimated at Ksh925 billion ($8.48 billion) in the next three months.

This comes against a backdrop of weaker credit rating by global rating agencies pointing out that Kenyan tax payers will have to dig deep into their pockets to service the planned loan.

The three global rating agencies - S&P, Fitch and Moody’s Investor Service - have downgraded the country’s credit status largely due to its faster than expected accumulation of debt against falling revenue collection and staggering economy raising fears of the possibility of a debt distress.

This will mean investors willing to buy the Kenyan bond in the international will demand risk premium to cushion against country’s risk of default.

“All sovereign ratings have been downgraded on account of this Covid-19 pandemic and countries still access the international financial markets. A downgrade does not mean that your access to the market has been limited,” Haron Sirma, the Director-in-charge of Debt Management at the National Treasury explained in a recent interview.

However, Dr Sirma could not disclose the amount the country will borrow through the Eurobond, stating that the amount would be determined once the parliament considers

Kenya’s National Treasury in Nairobi. and approves the supplementary budget for the current fiscal year (2020/2021).

“You know we are going through the supplementary budget now so may be it is when parliament has considered and approved the supplementary budget that is when we shall start the process (issuing a Eurobond bond),” he said.

Last week S&P downgraded the country’s credit rating to “B” from “B+” citing the significant risks to the government’s fiscal consolidation plan, as external indebtedness remains high.

Last year the agency revised Kenya’s outlook to “negative” from “stable,” citing the adverse impact of the coronavirus

pandemic on the weak public finances and gross domestic product growth.

Then, Moody’s changed the country’s outlook to negative from stable reflecting the rising financing risks posed by the huge borrowing needs.

In May 2019, Kenya raised $2.1 billion from international capital markets to pay off other loans including a $750 million Eurobond that matured in June 24, 2019 and other debt obligations.

The bond was issued in two tranches of seven-year tenor and 12-year tenor priced at seven per cent and eight per cent respectively.

In 2014, Kenya issued a $2 billion

US$33m chest for mines revival

HARARE - A US$33 million chest has been set aside for the revival of Metallon Gold’s two gold mining assets that have run into viability problems largely due to lack of capital, The Herald Business and Finance has established.

Metallon was at one-time Zimbabwe’s largest gold producers, thanks to output from its mining assets which included How Mine, Redwing, Shamva and Gold Fields of Mazowe.

However, the firm ran into viability challenges with some assets being put under care and maintenance and the stake in Shamva Gold Mine being disposed altogether and is now owned by Kuvimba Mining House - a mining behemoth owned by Government and a consortium of investors.

Although no official comment on the impending revival could be obtained by the time of going to print, this publication is informed that Redwing and How Mine were earmarked for revival under the new investment plan.

Mr Chitando Mines and Mining Development Minister, Winston Chitando, could neither deny nor confirm only saying: “Not official yet, so (I) can’t comment.”

A source close to the development confided in this publication that the capital injection will see How Mine going through some restructuring exercise aimed at deepening of the shaft which will also extend the lifespan of the mine.

Redwing will see an extensive de-watering exercise as well as repair of the mine shaft and the plant.

“New capital injection is on the way and the two

assets should be up and running pretty soon,” said a close source to the deal that declined to be named.

“Redwing Mine will first undergo de-watering and repair of mine shafts as well as the plant, which is in a dilapidated state, while How Mine will see attention being directed towards shaft deepening and this will give the miner access to mineral rich pockets as well as extend the lifespan of the mine.

“The initial work will be carried out at a total cost of US$33 million, which has already been secured and some equipment has already been bought using the said funds,” said the source.

The source said work done so far point that once back on stream, the two assets have the potential to produce more than three tonnes per year and thus go a long way towards meeting Government’s 2023 mining sector milestone which seeks to attain US$12 billion in annual mineral exports. – THE HERALD, Zimbabwe.

Volkswagen announces 5 000 job cuts BERLIN - Carmaker Volkswagen will shed up to 5, 000 jobs between now and the end of 2023 as part of costcutting to finance its transition to electric vehicles, the company said in a statement.

Up to 900 employees would opt for an early retirement scheme while others would leave the company as part of a gradual halting of their activities, it said.

It did not give a precise figure for those employees, saying only that it would be in the lower end of a “fourdigit number,” an expression usually used to mean between 2, 000 to 4, 000.

The job losses were intended to make a major contribution to managing the company’s costs, said the statement.

“Thanks to our high level of investment in the expansion of electromobility and digitisation, Volkswagen has been able to establish itself as a pioneer of automotive change,” human resources director Gunnar Killian said in the statement.

“We now want to consolidate our position of strength,” he added.

“This will require a continuation of a strict cost management in order to finance the necessary investments in the future.” - AFP.

JOHANNESBURG - Expect “extremely high” fuel price increases at the end of March, going into April, the Automobile Association (AA) warned on Monday.

The AA was commenting on unaudited mid-month fuel price data released by the Central Energy Fund.

The AA explained in a statement that steepening climbs in international petroleum prices are being worsened by a dipping rand/US dollar exchange rate. Furthermore, fuel levy increases will contribute to these expected high increases in fuel prices.

“As things stand today, petrol is set for a 90 cents-alitre rise, diesel for an increase of 66 cents, and illuminating paraffin an increase of 62 cents,” the AA said.

These expected increases do not include the 26-cents a litre increases to the General Fuel and Road Accident Fund levies (excluding the one cent increase to Carbon Tax) announced by Minister of Finance Tito Mboweni in his Budget 2020. These come into effect in April.

“Within the current scenario,

with the addition of the levies, petrol is expected to increase by a whopping R1.16 a litre and diesel by 92-cents a litre,” said the AA. With the expected increases factored in, a litre of 95 ULP Inland (currently at R16.32/l) will now cost R17.48/l of which R6.10 will be taxed through the GFL and RAF. This means that at least 35 percent of the cost of a litre of this petrol will be taxed.

The price of diesel (currently pegged at R14.12/l) will increase to R15.04 of which R5.96 (including increased levies) will be taxed – at least 40 percent of the total cost.

“Either the rand or international oil prices would require a sharp reversal if the picture is not to deteriorate further by month-end,” the AA said, adding that government can “no longer ignore the knock-on effects of severe fuel price rises.”

“The cost is not only direct, but throughout the value chain, and is battering consumers from all sides. It requires urgent review to help ease pressure on consumers who are battling to stay financially afloat.” – FIN24.

‘China not taking over Mombasa Port’ NAIROBI - Kenya is not at risk of losing Mombasa Port any soon over debt, Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yattani said on Monday.

He was reacting to an article in a local daily which reported that China could seize Mombasa port over Sh364 billion Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) loan.

In reference to a report tabled in parliament by the Auditor General, the writer wrote that the assets of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) were used as collateral for the multi-billion loan.

While refuting the claims on Monday, Yattani said there is no risk of China or any other country taking over the port of Mombasa.

“The Government of Kenya through the National Treasury entered into three loans agreements with the Export-Import Bank of China to finance the construction of Standard Gauge Railway. The loan agreements were reviewed by the Attorney General for assurance that it conforms with laws of the country, before signature of Treasury CS on behalf of the government,” he explained.

Therefore, Government is servicing the SGR loans in line with the provisions of the loan agreements and the Public Finance Management Act 2012.” On March 4, top Kenya Railways officials disclosed to Standard Group’s Spice FM that the corporation has begun the process of taking over the operations of Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from the Chinese operator- Afristar. The corporation has already assumed ticketing, security and fuelling functions of the Standard Gauge Railways (SGR) and expects to complete the takeover by May next year, Kenya Railways Chairman Omudho Awitta said. – THE STANDARD, Kenya.

BULK PETROLEUM MEASURING INSTRUMENTS PROCURED

A

BOUT 26, 100 Euros has been spent to procure bulk flow meters and Central Processing Centre (CPC) used to handle bulk petroleum products and for trade facilitation.

These were procured for the Zambia Metrological Agency (ZMA) by COMESA through the European Union (EU).

The accuracy of bulk flow meters is very critical in ensuring fuel security for the country as they inform the decision-making process in fuel supply management for our nation.

This is according to the Commerce, Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary, Mr Mushuma Mulenga.

He was speaking yesterday

during the handover ceremony of the bulk-flow master meter and the CPC equipment. Mr Mulenga said the meters were used to handle bulk petroleum products and were required to maintain accurate measurements throughout the distribution chain. “Bulk flow Meters are mainly found at TAZAMA installations in Ndola, Solwezi, Mongu and Lusaka, and are used to receive imported petroleum products into the

He was speaking during the grant contract signing ceremony for assistance for grassroots human security project.

This was for the construction of Chitakata Community School in Kabwe.

Mr Ryuta said that the project was the first project as it would open a new horizon in Japan’s diverse cooperation in Zambia.

“Further, Bulk Flow Meters are also used at depots belonging to Oil Marketing Companies and other critical installations such as Airports and the Zambian Mines,” Mr Mulenga said. Mr Mulenga said ZMA was able to monitor, regulate and assure compliance of imported goods, without unnecessary disruption in movement of imported goods and instruments using the CPC equipment.

Japan encompasses the construction of two school buildings one by three and one by two classroom, three toilet buildings, a borehole and a water washing station.

“Upon completion of this project, the school will be able to receive 200 more children, numbering in total 400, with the addition of grades eight and nine,” he said.

At the same function, Central Province Minister, Sydney Mushanga, said that once completed, the school would reduce dropout rate as most pupils abandon school due long distances.

Mr Mushanga said only

He said the CPC equipment which was received under the TRF project was key in supporting trade facilitation.

“This system rides on the Zambia Revenue Authority Customs System the ASYCUDA World and this platform has enabled the agency to monitor products and instruments of metrology interest as they are imported into the country through all our 28 automated entry points,” Mr Mulenga said. pupils who can afford to rent houses and able to walk have continued to be in schools.

Meanwhile Kabwe District Education Board Secretary, Zikani Kaira, said the project has come at the right time as most of the children at Chitakata did not have an opportunity to access quality basic education.

Dr Kaira said Government considers education as critical for the countries sustainable development.

He said the $71,246 project would certainly creating access to quality education in the community which answers the sustainable development goal number four.

UPND leaders ‘endorse’ Kitwe violence …stakeholders want answers

FAILURE by the UPND leadership to condemn acts of Armageddon by their cadres on the Copperbelt attests that the ‘criminals’ had the blessing of the party, the Advocates For National Development And Democracy has said.

Organisation executive director, Samuel Banda, it was sad the UPND leadership had not taken any decisive action against the ‘dangerous’ trend of violence.

Mr Banda said the attack on innocent police officers who were carrying out their legal mandate was barbaric.

“We wish to condemn in the strongest terms, the violence that was exhibited by the UPND against the Zambia Police on youth day,” he said.

Mr Banda said the thuggery behaviour of UPND cadres was He said if this was not ursetting a very bad precedent gently addressed, it would give and needed to be checked ur- cadres the impetuous to comgently. mit more crimes.

“We are therefore calling on all political parties to reign in their cadres during this emotive period. We would further

like to urge the police service to ensure all perpetrators of political violence are brought to book so as to deter further incidents as we head into the campaign period for 2021,” said Mr Banda.

And the Zambian DNA has strongly condemned the violent conduct by UPND cadres who attacked police officers on Youth Day on the Copperbelt.

Zambia DNA spokesperson, Spuki Mulemwa, called on all political party leaders to advise cadres not to get involved in violence as it had the potential to disrupt the peace the country.

Mr Mulemwa commended Zambia Police Service Inspector General Kakoma Kanganja for instructing his Police officers to bring to book all perpetrators of violence.

Kitwe flood victims relocate

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA FLOOD victims who are currently accommodated at Buchi hotel in Kitwe will finally be relocated to Kafue Park this Friday.

Chairman for the flood victims at the transit centre, Simon Kabange, confirmed to the Daily Nation that some victims had started moving to the place and that by Friday, all of them would have left the place.

Mr Kabange thanked Government for the gesture despite the procedure taking too long to be concluded.

Many flood victims had already abandoned the transit centre for safer places.

Some of them did not benefit from the land that was given to them by the government through the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU).

Those who left said they did not see any reason why they should continue staying at the place when they would not benefit anything like the others did.

They said that they preferred going back to their old homes unlike spending nights in the cold for nothing.

About 500 people were affected by floods in Kitwe in the previous rainy season and were temporarily accommodated at Buchi Hotel as well as Hellen Kaunda School grounds as they waited for their new houses to be constructed.

And over 500 offer letters were given to both flood victims and the Luyando house demolition victims who were landlords, but tenants also wanted to be given land just like their landlords.

The DMMU maintained that only landlords of the houses that were affected were entitled to receive land in New Kitwe across the Kafue River.

INSIDE SPORTS

Messi equals Xavis record with a brace LIONEL Messi scored twice and made another on the day he equalled Xavi's record for most Barcelona appearances.

Messi was playing for Barca for the 767th time and his curled double, along with goals from Antoine Griezmann and Oscar Mingueza, helped his side to a comfortable win over struggling Huesca.

Rafa Mir scored a controversial penalty for Huesca at the end of the first half, but Barca cruised to the victory.

They move second in La Liga, four points behind leaders Atletico Madrid.

The 33-year-old Argentina forward has won La Liga 10 times and the Champions League on four occasions

OYDC to launch new sporting season

From Back Page

“We are happy to announce that we will be launching our 2021 sporting season on Saturday March 20. Even though some challenges that led to the suspension of some of the activities in 2018 are still there, despite the Covid-19 pandemic we strongly feel we can still resume activities immediately, to gradually get back to our core mandate” Chitangala said.

Chitangala said the centre has since invited all presidents of the eleven sports associations and federations to be part of the launch at 09:00 hours.

With TeQball, Handball, Football, Rugby, Basketball, and Boxing added to the new season OYDC will have 11 sports disciplines including Hockey, Netball, Taekwondo, Judo and Beach Volleyball which are under the Teulings Youth Sports Challenge.

Chitangala said the centre will be hosting four sports programmes every weekend under strict adherence to health guidelines to avoid any spread of the Covid-19.

He said trainings will be happening more often at the centre to make athletes abreast with different sporting skills as they prepare for weekend competitions.

Chitangala said the new sports season grand finale will be hosted at the end of the year where top deserving teams, athletes, coaches and umpires will be rewarded.

among 34 trophies since he made his competitive debut as a substitute in a 1-0 away derby win against Espanyol on October 16, 2004.

Messi, whose contract expires at the end of this season, will break former Spain midfielder Xavi's record on Sunday if he plays in the league game at Real Sociedad.

Barcelona displayed a painted banner of Messi and Xavi together with the words “touching

the sky” at the Nou Camp Barcelona were knocked out in the last 16 of the Champions League by Paris St-Germain on Wednesday but still have hopes of winning a domestic league and cup double.

Against bottom-of-the-table Huesca, Messi scored after 13 minutes with a fine, left-footed curled effort from outside the penalty area before Griezmann added an almost identical goal 22 minutes later.

Huesca had lost 8-2 at the Nou Camp in 2018, but were given a fortunate way back into the game when Barca goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was adjudged to have fouled Huesca's Mir. The striker, on loan from Wolves, converted the penalty, but the hosts restored their two-goal lead when Mingueza headed his first goal for the club following Messi's cross from the left wing.

Mir had a chance to make it 3-2 but somehow chested the ball over the bar from only a few yards out. Messi grabbed his second goal of the night, and his 661st for Barcelona, with another curled, left-footed shot from distance in stoppage time.

The win takes Barcelona, who have already reached the Copa del Rey final, above Real Madrid and into second with 11 league games of the season remaining.

Zim receives second batch of Sinopharm vaccine

MAPUTO - American military personnel will spend two months training soldiers in Mozambique to help the country fight a jihadist insurgency in its northeast, US embassy officials said on Monday.

Insurgents have staged regular attacks in the gas-rich Cabo Delgado province since 2017, leaving at least 2, 600 people dead and displacing hundreds of thousands.

The violence has helped to create a humanitarian crisis in one of the world's poorest countries.

Confirming the training, the US embassy in Maputo said in a statement that Washington was also providing "medical and communications equipment."

Mozambique has turned to private military companies to contain the attacks but has faced criticism from rights groups who have accused mercenaries and government forces of shooting civilians in incidents amounting to war crimes.
