THERE is need for a serious marshall plan to exploit Gold reserves because Zambia is losing millions to illegal mining and exports of the mineral resource, a mining expert Edward Simukonda has said.

Mr Simukonda said disciplined Zambia National Service (ZNS) officers and thousands of unemployed youth cadets already trained to defend national interests should be employed to replace illegal miners, most of them By SIMON MUNTEMBA funded by foreigners.

F the Patriotic Front is to emerge strong and retain power on August 12, it has to stop infighting which is disadvantaging the party by allowing

Mr Chongu cited the Socialist Party which he said was establishing branches at the grassroots level in Muchinga, Northern, Luapula and Copperbelt provinces.

COMPLY WITHOUT FAIL

IT is now evident that Covid-19 has spread significantly, hitting the rural outposts which were hitherto believed to be free of the pandemic.

On Sunday, Chief Mukwikile of Shiwang’andu succumbed to Covid-19 while last week, Bishop Moses Hamungole of Monze Diocese also died of Covid-19-related complications.

Both cases occurred in the rural areas.

Government has now been compelled to designate Maina Soko Military Hospital as Covid-19 isolation centre in addition to the University Teaching Hospital and Levy Mwanawasa Hospital in Lusaka.

Additionally, the Zambia Medical Association (ZMA) has made a distress call on the rising number of Covid-19 cases and the severity of the disease.

Of particular interest, is the clarion call from the ZMA to ‘demystify’ the critical shortage of medical supplies being experienced throughout the country.

The medical body has plainly placed it on record that the demand for oxygen, essential drugs, blood and personal protective equipment (PPE) has overwhelmed the supply.

In essence, the doctors are extremely worried that the rapid spread of the pandemic could lead to a huge catastrophe, given the fact that already there is overwhelming demand for oxygen, essential drugs and other necessities.

Simply put, the signal from the doctors should place all citizens on high alert.

The telling effects of this deadly disease are now being felt, as each day neighbours, friends, relatives, work mates and prominent personalities are dying.

Therefore, Government must heed the suggestions from the ZMA which include establishing facility preparedness in general hospitals, district hospitals and First-Level Hospitals to control the referral flow to the already choked big health facilities.

The ZMA feels strongly that Government should award healthcare workers economically reflective Covid-19 incentives and dismantle outstanding personal emoluments as a way of motivating them.

Thirdly, ZMA has strongly advised Government to employ over 5, 000 healthcare workers including over 400 newly graduated medical doctors, who are in communities without jobs.

These are important points worth digesting at the highest policy-making level of Government.

It is sad, though, that many citizens have not appreciated the seriousness of the pandemic and are breaching the health regulations with impunity.

A story is told of a horde of passengers, who were poking fun at the few commuters on a public service vehicle that had donned masks on their faces.

The conductor himself was passing running commentaries about the three masked passengers, who according to him, were looking like “bamalukula” a derogatory term for mortuary attendant.

One wonders whether it is ignorance or outright carelessness among some people who have apparently refused to adhere to Covid-19 preventive measures.

Neighbours, friends, work mates, relatives, prominent personalities are dying of Covid-19 and the information is in the public domain.

In the face of all this, some careless citizens have elected to remain irritatingly adamant.

Citizens ought to make a personal choice as the second wave of the Covid-19 outbreak is deadly and kills fast. It is highly contagious!

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

Citizens, he said, should ignore the myths circulating on social media platforms.

He urged Zambians not to hesitate to be vaccinated once the vaccines were in the country as it would help stop the spread of the virus and reduce deaths.

Dr Mwabu urged the Ministry of Health to sensitise the public about the vaccines to clear the misinformation.

“The Ministry of Health and other concerned parties need to sensitise the general public about its importance.

Otherwise, the vaccine is harmless as it has been tested by the World Health Organisation" Dr Mwabu said.

He said social media information against the vaccines were retrogressive and aimed at making the fight against the pandemic difficult.

By SIMON MUNTEMBA

CONTRARY to the myths, the Covid-19 vaccines that are expected in the country next month are safe and Zambians should accept them, the Medical for Quality Health Care in Zambia (MHQZ) has declared.

MHQZ Director General, Quince Mwabu, assured that the vaccines were harmless as they had been tested by World Health Organisation (WHO).

Dr Mwabu said the vaccines were safe and not a death trap as suggested by some armchair critics.

In an interview, Dr Mwabu said there was need to embrace the facts about vaccines from medical experts and the Ministry of Health.

Govt gives tax waiver on fuel imports

By SILUMESI MALUMO GOVERNMENT has given a waiver to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) to import more fuel to curb the shortage of the commodity in the country.

Minister of Energy Mathew Nkhuwa said Government had removed the excise duty on diesel and reduced excise duty on petrol from K2,07 to K0.64 per litre.

Mr Nkhuwa said this was in addition to the zero rating of Value Added Tax (VAT) which was recently announced.

He said at a media briefing yesterday, the waiver had been given to 87 OMCs. The minister said the total

quantity of diesel allocated to them was 1.9 billion litres and 934 million litres of petrol.

Mr Nkhuwa said, “With these measures I am confident that fuel supply in the country will be normalised within a week as most OMCs have shown willingness to import petroleum products.”

The Patriotic Front government led by President Edgar Lungu has heard the cry of the people and has cushioned and absorbed the imminent price increase.

“We are a listening government and still stand by the promise we gave the Zambian people of being a pro-poor government,” Mr Nkhuwa said.

The minister said the

Covid-19 derails lawyer’s forgery case

By CHARLES MUSONDA A CRIMINAL case in which lawyer Nathaniel Inambao is charged with forging a dead man’s Will failed to continue yesterday after a defence advocate representing him was reported to have contracted Covid-19.

The case, which has dragged since 2019 due to adjournments mostly occasioned by the defence, was scheduled for continued trial before Lusaka Magistrate Judith Chiyayika but could not proceed due to the illness of the defence lawyer, Mr Charles Changano.

In this case, Inambao, who is also former Commissioner of Lands, is charged with his then legal assistant Mubanga Chibonga for allegedly forging a Will belonging to the late Donald Chimfwembe.

Particulars of offence are that between January 26, 2018 and June 30, 2018, with intent to deceive or defraud, Inambao and Chibonga forged Mr. Chimfwembe’s Will and uttered it to his widow Carol Musonda whom the latter had married after divorcing his first wife Beauty Kafwimbi.

The case comes up on February 2, 2021 for continued trial. Last October, the Lusaka High Court nullified the same Will Inambao is accused of forging in a civil case Mr. Chimfwembe’s daughter Hellen sued Ms. Musonda, her stepmother, over the document in question.

High Court Judge Pixie Yangailo cancelled the Will after finding that the signature on it, purported to be that of Mr. Chimfwembe, did not match his signatures on his official documents. Ms. Justice Yangailo found that Mr. Chimfwembe was not the one who signed on the purported Will.

She ordered Ms. Musonda to deliver letters of administration granted by the High Court to the court forthwith and also ordered her to give a full account of all the assets belonging to the deceased’s estate, including rentals from the lease of stand number 471 of 11063 Libala Stage 3. She said this should be from the date of Mr. Chimfwembe’s death to the date of production of the said account, which should be done within one month from the date of the judgment.

reason for the shortage of the commodity was because some OMCs stopped importing due to the increased price on the international market.

He said others kept their stock because they were supplying at a loss to filling stations when they were buying at a high price.

Mr Nkhuwa indicated that the issue would be a thing of the past now that the government had intervened.

Meanwhile, Mr Nkhuwa said Government did not want to increase the fuel pump price even though the price on the international market was high, as doing that would lead to multiplier effect that would see prices of many goods and services increase.

Help spread Covid message, Lungu pleads with headmen From AARON CHIYANZO in Mafinga TRADITIONAL leaders should help disseminate information on Covid-19 preventive measures so all can quickly adhere to curb the spread of the pandemic, President Edgar Lungu has said.

President Lungu said the fact that Zambia was not recording high numbers of Covid-19 cases and deaths compared to other countries does not mean that there should be complacency.

He warned that continued reluctance to adhere to provided Covid-19 guidelines could lead to a massive escalation of cases and deaths like it was in badly hit countries.

The President said this in Mafinga yesterday when he met local headmen.

He urged the traditional leaders to champion the dissertation of information on Covid-19 preventive measures.

President Lungu said headmen played an important role in communities they serve and that people listened to them.

He said going forward, Government would work closely with the headmen to ensure that challenges communities were facing could easily be sorted out.

He disclosed that the State had embarked on a programme to empower headmen with bicycles to ease their mobility as they carry out their duties.

Earlier, President Lungu held a meeting with Chief Mwenechifungwe, Chief Mwenewisi and Chief Muyombe of Mafinga, who asked him to prioritise completion of the Isoka-Mafinga road.

President Lungu assured the traditional leaders that the road would be completed as soon as funds were sourced.

STOP PF INFIGHTING - CHONGU From Page 1 In an interview yesterday, Mr Chongu, who called for the lifting of suspensions and expulsions of party members noted that the PF has concentrated so much on infighting while Mr M’membe’s party was busy creating cells around the country using civil servants, including teachers.

He said Mr M’membe was quietly causing damages in PF’s strongholds by recruiting members, forming branches and sections with the aid of some civil servants.

“I am very much aware that Fred M’membe has embarked on an exercise in which he is recruiting youths as his members through civil servants. And if I am not mistaken, there is a named university in South Africa where he has taken about 250 students for training.

“I am also aware that he is signing some contracts with other countries that believe in socialism where he is hoping to be sending students on scholarship basis, and he is doing all this through civil servants while we are busy fighting ourselves.

“So it is very important for our party leadership to be aware of what is happening.

Because our party might be paying attention to UPND which is not even a threat while, Fred M’membe’s Socialist Party is doing us serious damages,” Mr Chongu said.

He appealed to the PF members of the central committee and the Secretary General, Davies Mwila to lift the suspensions and revoke expulsions of all members for the sake of the party to remain strong.

“For now, we need to reconcile and unite, the Secretary General should lift all the suspensions and revoke all expulsions countrywide so that our members can be allowed to come back freely to the party if they so wish. This is no time to give conditions to those who want to come back.

I Mr Chongu in limbo. There are more than 10 suspensions in Chongwe and those are the people that are on the ground. So, the MCC must push Mr Mwila to lift all these suspensions and revoke the expulsions so that we emerge as one strong team in August and secure maximum votes for President Lungu and the party,” Mr Chongu said.

Mr Chongu also regretted that the PF has concentrated so much on infighting thus giving the opposition chance to make inroads in its strongholds.

He said, “most of these mushrooming political parties are fishing from PF ponds, the more reason we need to open doors of reconciliation and unity.”

He further said there was need for the ruling party members to guard their strongholds jealously by avoiding infighting.

“My appeal to our biggest organ of the party, MCC, the Secretary General, vice and the President is that they need to give us guidance on infighting. We need to stop infighting, divisions, confusions, personal hatred and hate speech amongst ourselves. We need to reconcile and unite and go into the August elections as a strong team,” he said.

As the saying goes, he said, when brothers or sisters of the same kingdom fight, it is the stranger that inherits their Kingdom and wealth.

Mr Chongu said it was high time that the PF reconciled at all party levels.

“So, we have no time at hand to be entertaining these infighting because they are giving advantages to the opposition as some of our frustrated members are joining them,” Mr Chongu said.

LLEGAL gold mining in Rufunsa should immediately be curbed, PF Rufunsa Parliamentary aspiring candidate, Bartholomew Kalambalala has said.

Mr Kalambalala said Rufunsa has the potential to grow economically because of the gold but the foreigners have invaded the area.

He observed that foreign-

ers were milking the mines because there was no direct link between the local authority and the investors who were coming to mine the precious mineral.

Mr Kalambalala said it would require an effective Member of Parliament to curb illegal mining in the area.

"The local authority needs to have a list of those who have been given mining licences which has not been the case. As a result

foreigners are milking our gold mines without the local people benefitting.

“Let me make it abundantly clear that this transaction is important for the government because it guarantees not just production at the mine but also the jobs.

Meanwhile, ZCCM-IH chairperson, Eric Silwamba, said the move was in line with new strategic pillar in strategic plan for 2020-2026 that aims at increasing stakes in mining firms where the institution had minority shares.

And National Union for Miners and Allied Workers president, James Chansa, said the move would enable the country to start earning much needed revenue unlike in the past where investors took away billions of dollars.

Kariba Dam rehab at 60pc completion

BY OLIVER SAMBOKO

WORKS on the $290 million Kariba Dam Rehabilitation Project (KDRP) has reached 60 percent completion, the Zambezi River Authority (ZRA) has announced.

Zambia and Zimbabwe, through ZRA, have contracted Razel-Bec and Consortium of GE Hydro and Freyssinet International of France to rehabilitate the Kariba Dam plunge Pool and spillway Gates.

This is aimed at enhancing and safeguarding the structural integrity of the over 60-yearold man-made dam.

ZRA chief executive officer, Munyaradzi Munodawafa, said in a statement that the project was on course and would be completed in 2024 as scheduled.

He said while the project was minimally affected by the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, the second wave has not yet hindered work progress.

Mr Munodawafa explained that the project team has continued to work with strict adherence to health guidelines.

More students blast HH’s special advisor

BY SIMON MUNTEMBA

WE shall not be intimidated by people like William Banda and UPND foreign financiers who feel they own Zambia because of money, the Copperbelt University Students Union (COBUSU) has said.

COBUSU president, Lawrence Kasonde, reminded Mr Banda that students have the power to make their own decisions as long as they were within the law. Mr Kasonde was reacting to remarks by Mr Banda, who is UPND president Hakainde Hichilema’s special advisor.

Mr Banda in a video circulating on social media charged that the students knew nothing about politics and that they should not decide who should monitor the elections in August this year.

Mr Kasonde said COBUSU was greatly disturbed by Mr Banda’s reference to students

He said from 2015, ZRA had been working at enhancing the structural integrity of the Kariba Dam wall for efficient power generation.

He said the reshaping of the plunge pool involves excavation of the rock to increase the pool volume and thereby minimising erosion to the dam’s foundations.

"This will create a new pool profile that will dissipate the energy of the water jets from the flood gates to non-erosive levels as well as reducing turbulence by guiding the spilling water in the downstream direction and hence avoiding any backward erosion towards the dam foundations in the process," he said Mr Munodawafa said the spillway refurbishment works were aimed at ensuring free movement of the gates used to shut the upstream opening of the flood gates during maintenance of the flood gates.

He said the overall objective of the KDRP is not to seal cracks as has previously been reported by some sections of the media, but rather to increase the lifespan of the dam wall. as disgruntled youths who had no capacity to think on their own.

“We take exception to the political advisor to Mr. Hichilema for insulting our intelligence as students and the youth who will participate, not only by voting but contribute towards the 22, 000 local monitors in the forthcoming general election.

“We are left to wonder what advice the old man is giving to our country’s main opposition leader who belittles the capacity of youths who are the majority voters in the forthcoming general election,” Mr Kasonde said.

He said students would not accept to be subjected to any intimidation by people like Mr Banda and foreign financiers who feel they own Zambia because of age and money.

He explained that COBUSU had a duty to ensure that students contribute to holding free and fair elections in the country. Mr Kasonde said students wanted to ensure that the forthcoming elections do not pose any risk, either through violence or further spread of the Covid-19.

Poacher jailed for seven years THE Chinsali magistrate’s court has sentenced a 51-year-old poacher to seven years imprisonment with hard labour for unlawful possession of 9.5 kilogrammes of ivory.

Jurious Sakala 51, of Mukhonka village in Chama district was sent to the correctional facility to serve his sentence. He was arrested on November 15, last year.

In passing sentence, the court bemoaned the increase in wildlife related cases in Muchinga province According to the court, poaching was depleting the country’s natural resources and reducing elephant population in the country.

The court further noted

that elephants played an important role in maintaining the health and biodiversity of ecosystems.

Additionally, the animal provided opportunities for supporting local communities’ livelihoods through legal ventures such as tourism, which depended on thriving elephant population.

This is contained in a statement issued by Ministry of Tourism and Arts Public Relations Officer Sakabilo Kalembwe.

Innocent’s trial fails to take off again

By CHARLES MUSONDA THE assault trial involving of Patriotic Front (PF) cadre, Innocent Kalimanshi, and two others failed to take off again.

In this case Kalimanshi is jointly charged with Nathan Phiri, 43, and Capson Mwanza, 46, for allegedly assaulting three PF cadres in a fracas that happened in Chawama compound last October between two ruling party rival youth groups.

The accused persons are facing three counts of assaulting Isaac Banda, Muhamed Mutale, and Kingsley Nyondo, thereby occasioning them actual bodily harm on October 27, 2020.

When the case came up yesterday for commencement of trial before Lusaka Magistrate Nthandose Chabala, Kalimanshi was absent and only Phiri and Mwanza were present.

No reason was given for

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI FORMER Solwezi East Member of Parliament (MP) Richard Taima says he has the required ability push for the development of the constituency once elected into office.

Mr Taima, who is seeking adoption on the Patriotic Front (PF), ticket ahead of the August

Kalimanshi’s absence.

Public prosecutor Samuel Zulu informed Ms. Chabala that even the two witnesses that were scheduled to testify yesterday were absent and that he did not know if they were summoned as he had just assumed conduct of the matter.

In the absence of Kalimanshi and the witnesses, Mr Zulu applied for an adjournment saying the first accused person had to be given benefit of doubt.

The court then adjourned the matter to February 16, 2021.

The three accused persons denied the charge on November 5, last year and the court set November 24, 2020 as the date for commencement of trial.

However, on that date trial failed to start owing to Phiri’s absence on grounds that he was sick and only Kalimanshi and Mwanza were before court while the State was ready with four witnesses.

PF MUST NOT ADOPT POLITICAL VULTURES, SAYS LIFWEKELO

By SIMON MUNTEMBA

T

HE PF central committee should only consider loyal and popular candidates during adoption process and not political vultures hoovering in constituencies, PF Lusaka Province media coordinator, Edwin Lifwekelo has advised.

Mr Lifwekelo said political vultures that were using money and material things to induce both voters and party structures should not be adopted at the expense loyal members.

He said in an interview that he had observed serious maneuvering by politicians that

Chongwe traders get Covid-19 prevention tips

By JOHN KOMBE MARKETEERS in Chongwe have been urged to enhance Covid-19 preventive measures amid rising cases in the district.

The district health office conducted a sensitization campaign in the market area on Monday to sensitise the traders on the need to uphold the guidelines amid rising cases.

So far, Chongwe has recorded 134 cases with one death.

Chongwe district health promotions officer, Raphael Kasonde, urged the marketeers to observe the five pillars of the preventive measures.

He said that the spread of the pandemic had a negative bearing on businesses and as such needed to be prevented at all costs.

Mr Kasonde said that the market area was a very vulnerable area to the pandemic and as such the traders needed to be cautious all the time.

According to him,

had sprung using money to win adoption.

He warned that the ruling party risked being betrayed if it adopted people who were not loyal, but merely flashing

money around.

"We shall not accept aspiring candidates that are using the back door to be adopted.

What President Edgar Lungu needs are men and women of

businesses would fold up if the market experienced an outbreak that would warrant closure.

He stressed that the marketeers were a key stakeholder in ensuring that the trading area was safe for trading.

Mr Kasonde advised traders to compel customers to wear face masks when they come into the trading area.

Chongwe central ward councillor, Juvenalis Mulimbika, warned that all marketeers who would flout the protocols would be penalized.

“We will not allow any trader to flout the preventive measures. Your surroundings must also be clean and safe for trading,” he said.

Mr Mulimbika said that the concentration of the number of Covid-19 positive cases in his ward was a source of concern.

He said that it was

for this reason that the council had stepped up the enforcement of the preventive protocols in the ward.

Meanwhile, Market committee chairman, Geoffrey Mubiana, appealed to the local authority to ensure that the market had enough hand washing facilities.

Solwezi East projects are hanging, says aspiring MP general elections stated in an interview that from the time he resigned as area MP, most developmental programmes had been left hanging.

He said this was why he has decided to come back and seek for re-election if adopted.

He was speaking in an

5

interview in Solwezi.

"All the little effort I made during my tenure have been left hanging, in short, there is a dry spell in terms of development. That is why I am seeking re-election. I still feel I have got what it takes to change the face of the area in terms of

development," Mr Taima said.

Mr Taima said once adopted and subsequently elected, he would quickly settle down and resolve the issue of the Central Business District (CBD) in Mushindamo. "In simple terms, I want to quickly settle the issue of choosing the

CBD so that people can now start accessing various government services. I also want to push Government development agenda so that people can see the benefit of working with Government such that at the end of the five years, there will be something to point at,"

high quality that will accelerate his vision and not traitors and betrayers waiting to stab the President once put into public office," he said.

He added, "My appeal to my political party PF is that please select and elect leaders that have been with you in times of hardship, leaders that have been there for you, not leaders that abandoned you after being elected and now are coming around the corner just because they smell an election.

We have political vultures hoovering in constituencies."

He said President Lungu was a good leader who needed good people in his team to deliver the development.

Luwingu-Chaba needs completion, says chief

By STEPHEN MWEWA

CHIEF Chiwanangala of Chilubi district has appealed to Government to release the funds for the stalled construction of Luwingu-Chaba road.

The traditional leader complained that the work has stalled due to lack of funding, after Government engaged a contractor last year.

He said the contractor only constructed the stretch from Luwingu up to Katanda and that the stretch from Luena in Lupososhi district to Chaba in Chilubi district was yet to be done.

Chief Chiwanangala said the contractor was still on site, waiting for funding from Government.

The traditional leader, however, expressed happiness on the progress made on the construction of MatipaMubili road. He added that once Luwingu-Chaba road was completed, the area would be opened up for economic activities and improve the living standard of his subjects.

Chief Chiwananga said the stretch would link three districts namely Luwingu, Lupososhi and Chilubi districts. he said.On women and youth empowerment, Mr Taima said he would use his position as area MP to lobby for various empowerment programmes so that lives of the people especially women and youths were improved. He said he was aware that there were various Government programmes that were aimed at uplifting the living standards of the people.

Professor Mthuli Ncube

Zim’s investments in agriculture yield dividends HARARE - Government has lined up several irrigation infrastructure projects this year as part of efforts to boost crop production and achieve food security.

In light of the devastating effects of climate change causing recurrent droughts, irrigation is seen a viable option to enhance farm yields.

Finance and Economic Development Minister Professor Mthuli Ncube admitted the impacts of climate change on agriculture, which are reducing crop and livestock production. As such, creating scope for channelling resources towards resilience and productivity becomes critical.

The Agriculture and Food Systems Transformation Strategy and the Agriculture Recovery Plan provide a roadmap and strategic thrust for agriculture for the period to 2030, focusing on increasing agricultural output to US$8.2 billion by 2025 and contribute 20 percent to the gross domestic product, from the current 12 percent.

“Recent droughts have reinforced the importance of maximising usage of existing water bodies, soil and climate conditions towards increased agriculture productivity and output.

“Despite the huge potential of irrigation, our interventions to date have failed to leverage on this potential,” said Ncube in the 2021 Zimbabwe Infrastructure Investment Programme.

Out of the two million hectares that can be developed from existing water bodies, only 242, 000 hectares

are developed and equipped with irrigation infrastructure, with 175, 000 hectares currently being functional.

But the Irrigation Rehabilitation and Development Plan seeks to increase area under irrigation and crop production from the current 242, 000 hectares to 350, 000 hectares by 2025.

According to the plan, the Government will spearhead the rehabilitation and revitalisation of 450 irrigation schemes in communal areas, including overhaul of the business model for such schemes to ensure viability and sustainability.

This should help small holder communal farmers treat agriculture as business to maximise from their produce for both food security at household level and profitability.

The plan also targets rehabilitation of 45 000 hectares on A1 and A2 farms as well as capacitation through access to various financial and equipment facilities and markets, while development of 120 000 hectares of new irrigation infrastructure in marginal areas is also on cards.

Ncube also indicated the success of these initiatives hinges on sustainable and efficient use of existing water bodies, adoption of modern irrigation systems as well as creating a conducive regulatory environment that attracts private sector participation in irrigation development and ensure farmers access finance, inputs and markets.

WAGE FREEZE, TAX HIKES OR BORROWING

… how will Treasury ‘make sure’ there is money for vaccines?

J

OHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has ambitious plans to have 40 million South Africans receive Covid-19 vaccines by the end of the year and Treasury is going to have to foot the bill with state coffers which are already stretched to their limits.

Last week in an interview with EWN, the president said that Treasury would ensure that money is available for vaccines.

"There can never be any talk that we don't have money for the vaccine to save the lives of our people. The money is going to be there and Treasury is going to make sure that the money is there," he told journalists.

The interview followed the president's address to the nation earlier last week, where he explained there would be three channels by which vaccines would be acquired.

These are – the World Health Organisation's COVAX facility, the African Union's vaccine initiative and through direct engagements with vaccine man-

ufacturers. He said 20 million vaccines are to be distributed in the first half 2021.

By comparison, Israel has already provided single doses of vaccines to one in four people, the UAE is tailing with 19 percent of its population vaccinated, followed by Bahrain and the UK, the Bureau for Economic Research noted in a weekly update. So far, the US has vaccinat-

ed just under four percent of its population.

But how exactly will Treasury be funding vaccines – with an already pressured fiscus?

In an emailed response to questions from Fin24, Treasury said that "detailed financing measures," including tax changes, will be announced on Budget Day, in February. However, citing Treasury's Director-General

Dondo Mogajane, Business Day reported that tax hikes are being considered, along with other measures. Mogajane directed Fin24 to Treasury's media team for questions.

In response to the report, the Democratic Alliance issued a statement labelling any tax hikes by Treasury to fund Covid-19 vaccines as "morally indefensible" and a "bad economic policy."

The DA's Geordin Hill-Lewis, during a media briefing on Monday, said it would be better for government to reprioritise spending from "wasteful programmes" and cancel "wasteful bailouts."

Economists however do not think Treasury will be too aggressive with tax hikes this year, especially at such a crucial point where the economy is in recovery.

Finance Minister Tito Mboweni warned multiple times last year that the country is at risk of a sovereign debt crisis – which must be avoided.

Steel firm accused of using pandemic to boost profit margins after retrenching 99 workers JOHANNESBURG – A steel manufacturer Macsteel has been accused by the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa of using the pandemic as an excuse to boost profit margins after retrenching 99 workers.

NUMSA general secretary Irvin Jim said the union is demanding all retrenched employees should be reinstated with immediate effect.

The call came as the union embarked on countrywide picketing at all Macsteel plants in Eastern Cape, Western Cape, Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Kwa Zulu Natal on Monday morning.

Jim said: "Our members are protesting against the fact that

Macsteel has retrenched 99 employees during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our only demand is that all 99 employees who were forcefully retrenched by Macsteel must be reinstated immediately, under the same conditions they had before being retrenched."

Jim said it was inhumane for the company to retrench workers during a deadly pandemic, especially during Christmas, which is what the management did, he said.

"We are convinced that Macsteel is using the pandemic to boost their profit margins. They have previously retrenched workers and the savings they made from job cuts were used

to pay managers and executives generous bonuses and packages. This is what has angered our members into embarking on this just strike, they are doing it in defence of jobs and the right to work," added Jim. CEO of Macsteel Mike Benfield confirmed the retrenchment and added that NUMSA's comments were "outlandish."

Benfield rejected the union's demands, saying that Macsteel could not afford to hire back the retrenched workers.

"No. Our business models have changed, we are not going to compromise on these.

We need to focus on the future to protect the jobs that remain.

Those that remain employed

and committed to the future of Macsteel will be fairly treated."

Benfield also refuted the allegations that the company was retrenching workers to boost its profit margin.

"There is absolutely no substance to this allegation. Macsteel is faced with a very depressed steel sector and broader South African economy prior to Covid-19, which is now further exacerbated by the pandemic.

Our only objective is to make the company sustainable in very tough trading conditions and our priority is to preserve the jobs that remain," said Benfield. – FIN24.

The EU could throw out its landmark trade deal with China over concerns about Beijing's human rights record BRUSSELS - A leading member of the European Parliament has raised significant concerns about the EU's landmark investment deal with China over its alleged human rights abuses and fears that it could harm relations with the new Biden administration.

The EU-China investment deal aims to liberalise trade between Beijing and Brussels and

was struck in the last days of December after last-minute concessions from Chinese premier Xi Jinping.

But there is mounting concern in the European Parliament, which still needs to approve the deal, about it given China's human rights record, alleged forced labor camps and a crackdown in Hong Kong, which began last year.

"To lay such a Christmas present under Xi Jinping's Christmas tree after the year that we've had with China, that is quite a stretch," said Reinhard Bütikofer, chair of the European Parliament's China delegation, in an interview with Insider this week.

The full text of the so-called Comprehensive Agreement on Investment (CAI) is still to be

published, but there is already mounting criticism about the content of the deal.

Bütikofer said the European Parliament's demands for the deal to contain a clause binding China to international agreements on modern slavery given were ignored.

Instead, the deal only contains a non-binding commitment by China "to make con-

tinues and sustained efforts" to ratify the International Labour Organisation's Conventions on forced labour.

"We demanded practical steps and guarantees and the deal is just full of hot air," Bütikofer said.

Those concerns were echoed in a letter sent by a group of MEPs to European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen

this week, which was reported

by The Diplomat magazine.

The appeal, which dozens of civil rights groups also signed, said the CAI "sends a signal that the European Union will push for closer cooperation" with China "regardless of the scale and severity of human rights abuses carried out by the Chinese Communist Party."

UTH saved my life

Wednesday 20, January, 2021

8

Dear Editor, JANUARY 1, at around 06 hours, I woke up and I was struggling to breathe. I was badly hit by Covid-19.

I picked up the phone and called Dr Patel who was kind enough the day before to come to my house to test me and kept me under observation as he suspected I had Covid symptoms.

He advised me to immediately go to the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) and I did. That morning was horrific; I had a terrible fever, I could not breathe, it was a really close call.

Got to UTH, this was my first time in my whole life at the hospital as a patient; I had all these bad paintings in my head about the establishment.

To my surprise, it turned out this is where I actually needed to be. Once they filled out my form with my details, they instantly began to treat me at Casualty where I was given a bed and hooked to oxygen support. I was in bad shape, in fact, I didn’t think I was going to make it.

A lady called Dr.Chibesakunda with her team of wonderful nurses did amazingly well in a short space of time.

By the time I was leaving Casualty a couple of hours later to the isolation facility for further treatment I knew I was a survivor already. I had some life back.

Dr Patel came by and gave me hope and assured me I’d be in safe hands and taken care of by specialists. I needed to hear those words.

Checking into the isolation facility gave me the creeps. I didn’t know what to expect, I didn’t want to be there for sure but there was no other option.

I said bye to my family and I stepped in, it felt like I was walking the green mile. As I got in and they showed me my room, it was a very clean selfcontained room; clean toilet and shower with hot water. I was so amazed. This is the side of UTH nobody talks about.

My five days in UTH were short. In fact, I didn’t even feel like I was in five days. I had my entertainment and my phone which connected me to the outside world so basically I was good.

The nurses were wonderful and the doctors were incredibly amazing. I was in safe hands, thank you to Dr. Natasha Chikondi who played a huge role in my treatment.

I was happy to be in the care of my high school junior Dr. Chitalu Chanda and another old friend Dr Tilele Mwansa amongst other Covid specialists.

Your prayers and all the messages of hope kept me strong guys. Thank you very much. I may have not taken some of your calls or responded to your messages but I value your thoughts deeply. I was just overwhelmed. A big thank you to Chomfwe and the Covid travel clinic for the prompt response and all the arrangements made. My treatment began from there.

To talk a bit about the disease itself; all I can say is that it’s something I have never gone through. It’s deadly. It broke me down, that fever is hell.

At one point I gave up. I felt I lost the fight. Yes it gets you down like that. The terror is not knowing whether or not you will make it.

I was one of those people who believed Covid-19 was just a hoax. It is real guys. Keep yourselves safe. We all know the guidelines. Let’s abide by them.

Also please don’t self-medicate, if you have Covid symptoms, go and get tested and see a specialist. The treatment of Covid is so much more than just taking azithromycin, vitamin C and Zinc. The hospital will observe you and treat you accordingly.

I’m well now and fully recovered. To God be the glory đ&#x;™?đ&#x;™?

Culture of lies Dear Editor, ONE thing that always surprises me in Zambia is where people will fabricate stories about you using halftruths or fake information then go and lobby for others to hate you!

This characteristic is one factor that has delayed development in our country because instead of discussing progress at work places, in political parties, at church or any other grouping, people are busy gossiping.

Ideally gossiping is reserved for women (sorry ladies) but when men are involved then the whole society is destroyed.

WILLIAM BANDA ANTI-YOUTH REMARKS DEFIES DIVERSITY

Dear Editor,

WE have reflected on the statement made by a confidant to UPND president Hakainde Hichilema, William Tekere Banda as he took a swipe at UNZASU executive over their stance on various national matters.

The statement attributed to Mr Banda to the effect that students and young people know nothing about politics is in absolute bad taste and we condemn it in the strongest possible term.

For starters, participation in politics involves a variety of factors which we will belabour to explain in our quest to help Mr Banda to value the participation of young people in political affairs.

In general, political participation involves a chain of interlinked events both within and outside the electoral calendar. They involve activities that attempt to influence the structure of Government, the selection of Government officials, or the policies of the Government.

Mr Banda must discern in the description we have given so that he can appreciate the importance of young people in the country’s political landscape. The importance of the

If Mr Banda meant his word to rubbish the relevance of the youths on the political plane, we wonder if this is the rationale which has relegated youths to vessels of violence and harbouring hate speech on the cyber space.

youth cannot therefore be reduced to voting for the candidates who seek to walk the corridors of power someday.

To stretch the point further, the participation in politics does not just limit to raising of political party symbols, it involves other complementary and technical aspects.

The voting process, voter education, formulation and interpretation of the various political party policies flies within the ambit of political participation thus the statement attributed to Mr Banda lacks substance.

We also wish to remind Mr Banda and his proponents not to despise the noble efforts of the youth in maintaining Zambia’s political

landscape.

The inclusivity of the youths has the ability to contribute to the growth and sustenance of our democracy.

If Mr Banda meant his word to rubbish the relevance of the youths on the political plane, we wonder if this is the rationale which has relegated youths to vessels of violence and harbouring hate speech on the cyber space.

How then does the UPND intend to see to it that the young people who embrace them have a fair share of the national cake with such regressive remarks coming from Mr Hichilema’s inner circle?

This is not only politically bad but it does not pass the requisite standard of the democratic state were diversity is highly cherished.

We urge Mr Banda and all persons in Mr Hichilema’s inner circle to rethink their discriminatory remarks against the youths. The youths are shareholders and stakeholders in Zambia’s Governance thus cannot be explosively excluded to participate in public life in the manner Mr Banda is hallucinating.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI. Youth Rights Activist.

People with the coming of smart phones will even come with recorders and provoke bad stories about someone so that when you respond they take that story to that person and twist the story against you.

The problem is that you don’t even know who to trustđ&#x;˜‚đ&#x;˜‚đ&#x;˜‚ This trait I found very strange in Zambia. When Russians have something to say, they tell you in the face and not gossip!! So my conclusion is that we have too many cowards?

Work place culture especially in Zambia should change. I know brilliant employees who have been demotivated and feel sad as they go to work because other employees have formed gangs to bring them down instead of forming gangs to make profits for the company!

In churches it’s even worse!

Fighting for positions like lead singer in the choir, Sunday school teacher and treasurer!

I hear people even use black magic against each other in church!!!

This is 2021 we need to change!

When someone tells you that another person was talking crap about you, call the other person so that the person repeats the same words in front of the person they are trying to bring down!

Therefore colleagues, you should really not mind about other people’s views over your progress because very few mean well in our country!

You are on your own! Man to man in Zambia is very unjust!

LUBINDA HABAAZOKA.

‘Zambia must improve electoral system’

By ANDREW MUKOMA ZAMBIA needs proper systems to avoid accusations of electoral malpractice in the forthcoming 2021 general elections, Continental Leadership Research Institute has advised.

Institute Executive Director, Paul Mundia Hakoola, said his organization had followed the just-ended Uganda elections and picked up some lessons for the forthcoming August elections in Zambia.

He emphasised in Livingstone that the need for proper systems which would ensure the protection of the electoral process in Zambia.

Mr Hakoola said stakeholders should employ enough election monitors throughout the entire process so that the systems could be more transparent.

MR HAKOOLA

“When we look at the issue of Uganda, we believe that it is very important that we invest more in ensuring that there is proper systems as the country heads to the elections. Let all stakeholders employ enough election monitors so that the systems can be more transparent,”

“When we look at the issue of Uganda, we believe that it is very important that we invest more in ensuring that there is proper systems as the country heads to the elections. Let all stakeholders employ enough election monitors so that the systems can be more transparent,” he said.

Mr Hakoola said Zambia should continue to be a pillar of political stability and ensure that its record was intact even after the 2021 elections.

“We believe that there is need to have the same level of playing field. As an Institute that promotes democracy and good governance, we believe that Zambia has been a role model in things such as democracy which has seen peaceful transfer of power.

“However, lately we have seen the abuse of the police on issues that concern the opposition and we believe that this is a dictatorial tendency that doesn’t have to continue up the 2021 election,” he said.

Mr Hakoola has since called on the African Union and other regional bodies to ensure that they were more robust in handling election matters.

BOUT 168 youth cooperative groups in North-western province have received K9,885,559 under the Youth Empowerment Programme.

The funds are part of the K220 million Multi Sectoral Youth Empowerment programme which was launched last year.

Youth and Sport Minister, Emmanuel Muleng stated that Government was determined to ensuring that the youths were empowered so that they could become the backbone of the economic emancipation of the country.

Mr Mulenga said this when he handed over the cheques to the Youth cooperatives in Solwezi.

He said this is because the Zambian youths is an important resource of the country as they constitute the majority of the total population.

The Minister however said that the biggest challenge the youths were faced with was limited employment opportunities and skills.

Mr Mulenga said Government had come up with interventions that would create an enabling environment for employment opportunities.

"It is for this reason that Government through my ministry has continued to implement various interventions that promote youth mainstreaming and participation in the social and economic development of the country," Mr Mulenga said.

He said that various policies and strategies had been put in place to address such challenges.

"This demonstrates Government's renewed commitment towards creating optimal empowerment opportunities aimed at uplifting the living standards of the youths by ensuring that no one is left behind in the development of the country," he said.

Mr Mulenga advised the benefitting groups to venture into profitable business ventures and ensure that they paid the money back to sustain the revolving funds.

ELECTROLYSIS PART TWO (2) LEARNING OBJECTIVES ยง Describe electrolysis of acidified water ยง Describe the electrolysis of copper(II)Sulphate Electrolysis of acidified water As explained in the previous lesson, an electrolyte is a substance that conducts electricity in molten or aqueous state and thereby decomposed. This simply means that in order for a substance to be decomposed using electricity, it should be able to conduct electricity.

Water is generally a poor conductor of electricity. Therefore, to make water conduct electricity, an acid is added to it.

When an acid has been added to water, it is said to be acidified. The diagram below shows the electrolysis of water.

At the cathode, hydrogen ions are attracted to the cathode and are reduced to hydrogen gas. Note that both hydrogen ions from water and Sulphuric acid are attracted to the cathode. The reaction at the cathode is expressed as follows: 2H+ (aq) +2e

Using inert electrodes

H2 (g)

From the above apparatus, it can be seen that the volume of hydrogen produced is twice more than the volume of oxygen. This so because there are more ions of hydrogen than of hydroxide.

Electrolysis of copper (II) Sulphate Electrolysis of copper (II) Sulphate is carried out in two ways. In the first way, it can be done using inert electrodes and in the second way it can be done using reactive electrodes.

We shall explain both Page 3 of 9 ways and see what happens in each case.

Note that inert electrodes are electrodes that do not react during the electrolysis process.

Using reactive electrodes The diagram below shows the electrolysis of copper (II) Sulphate where a reactive electrode is used.

Page 1 of 9

Note that inert electrodes do not react during the process of electrolysis.

Reaction at the anode At the anode, hydroxide ions from the water are attracted in preference to the Sulphate ions. The hydroxide ions are oxidized to produce water and oxygen gas.

This reaction is expressed as follows: 2H2O

4OH- (aq)

(l) +

O2 (g) + 4e

Reaction at the cathode At the cathode, copper ions are attracted in preference to hydrogen ions. These ions are reduced to copper atoms and get deposited on the cathode. This reaction is expressed as follows: Cu2+ (aq) + 2e

Cu(s)

Note hydrogen ions and Sulphate ions remain in the solution and react to form Sulphuric acid. This implies that at the end of the reaction, the solution becomes acidic.

In addition, the blue color disappears because copper ions are removed from the solution.

Page 6 of 9

TASK

The above apparatus is called Hoffman apparatus. Inside the Hoffman apparatus, the following ions are present: from Sulphuric acid we have Hydrogen ions (H+) and Sulphate ions (SO42-), from water we have hydrogen ions (H+) and hydroxide ions (OH-). If a different acid is used, the ions of that acid will be present. Note that inert electrodes are used in this electrolysis. As explained in the previous lesson, a reaction takes place at the anode and the cathode.

Reaction at the anode.

At the anode, hydroxide (OH-) ions are attracted to the anode in preference to Sulphate ions due to their position in the electrochemical series. This reaction at the anode is expressed as follows: 4OH- (aq)

In the above diagram, the reactive electrode used is copper. Both at the anode and cathode, copper is used. The following ions are present: hydrogen ions (H+) and Hydroxide (OH-) from water, Copper (Cu2+) and Sulphate (SO42-) from copper (II) Sulphate.

1. Study the diagram below that shows the electrolysis of water.

Page 4 of 9 Reaction at the anode

The copper atoms at the anode lose each two electrons and form copper ions that enter the solution. This means that copper atoms are oxidized to copper ions. This reaction is expressed as follows: Cu2+ (aq) + 2e

Cu(s)

Reaction at the cathode At the cathode, the copper ions are attracted and reduced to copper atoms.

This means that reduction reaction occurs at the cathode. The copper atoms are deposited on the cathode. This reaction is expressed as follows: Cu2+ (aq) + 2e

Cu(s)

At the end of the reaction, the anode will reduce in size because the copper atoms are oxidized (electrons are lost) and enter the solution and the cathode will increase in size because copper ions are reduced (electrons are gained) and get deposited on the cathode. This type of electrolysis is used to purify the metal. This will be explained in the next lesson.

CAMPAIGN LIES …Chakwera told to step down for making false campaign promises

L

ILONGWE Malawian rights group Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) has demanded President Lazarus Chakwera to immediately step down for making false campaign promises.

CDEDI Executive Director Sylvester Namiwa in a Monday press statement said it is sad that President Chakwera made some

promises just to be voted into the high office of the presidency.

Namiwa said he was shocked on Sunday night, January 17, 2021 when President Chakwera who was addressing the nation told Malawians that the Tonse Alliance campaign promises were made on assumptions and conditions that no longer hold.

Namiwa said this is highly insensitive, careless, irresponsible and a futile attempt to dupe Malawians who voted for the Tonse Alliance following their campaign promises one of which was that they will contain the further spread of the pandemic but to no avail.

He said Chakwera’s sentiments clearly vindicate CDEDI’s earlier stand that Malawians were on June 23,

2020 sold a dummy as barely six months in office, the president has backtracked on almost all his flagship campaign promises.

Namiwa said the sentiment is a clear testimony that Chakwera and his Tonse Alliance partners are liars and can no longer be trusted with the responsibility to make decisions on behalf of the 18 million plus Malawians hence the need for him to step down.

“The Centre for Democracy and Economic Development Initiatives (CDEDI) is demanding President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to immediately step down for confessing publicly to Malawians that he made false campaign promises just to be voted into the high office of the presidency. “This is contrary to section 12 of the Republican Constitution that emphasises

on trust between those in authority and those that are being governed. Breach of trust is enough reason for the President to stepdown, with immediate effect,” reads part of CDEDI statement.

Namiwa added that Chakwera’s decree to close markets by 17 hours, reminds people when he told the former ruling party, DPP that Malawi is a hand to mouth economy where the poor have to hustle and rush back home in the evening to buy food from the markets.

He said he was puzzled when the President declared a state of disaster and begged for material and financial assistance, and yet he approved a payment of over K7 billion to lawyers who represented him and his vice in the Presidential Elections Case.

Uganda accuses U.S. of subversion after envoy tries to visit Wine's house KAMPALA - Uganda’s government spokesman accused the United States yesterday of trying to subvert last week’s presidential elections after the U.S. ambassador attempted to visit an opposition leader being held under house arrest.

The military surrounded the home of popstar-turned-legislator Bobi Wine, whose real name is Robert Kyagulanyi, shortly after he cast his ballot in Thursday’s presidential elections.

Incumbent Yoweri Museveni, 76, who has been in power since 1986, was declared winner of the poll with 59 percent of the vote against

Wine’s 35 percent.

The sharp, public rebuke to the United States from the Ugandan government is relatively unusual as the two nations are allies.

The Unites States supports Ugandan soldiers serving in an African Union peacekeeping mission in Somalia and has donated about $1.5 billion to Uganda’s health sector in the past three years.

U.S. Ambassador Natalie E. Brown was stopped from visiting Kyagulanyi at his home in a suburb in the northern outskirts of the capital, the embassy said in a statement late on Monday.

The mission said Brown wanted to check on the

Two UN troops killed in CAR as president's re-election confirmed BANGUI - Rebels killed two peacekeepers in the Central African Republic on Monday, the UN mission MINUSCA said, hours after the top court confirmed President Faustin Archange Touadera's re-election in a December vote marred by low turnout.

The peacekeepers - a Gabonese and a Moroccan were killed in an ambush on their convoy near the southern city of Bangassou, a city that

the UN said at the weekend had been retaken from armed groups who had seized it two weeks earlier.

The attack, the latest in a series blamed on a coalition of armed groups that mounted a failed coup ahead of the December 27 vote, brought the number of MINUSCA troops killed since then to seven.

UN special envoy to CAR Mankeur Ndiaye said MINUSCA had paid a "heavy

Government spokesman Ofwono Opondo said Brown had no business visiting Wine. price" but remained committed to "pursuing its mandate to protect civilians and secure elections."

Earlier on Monday, the Constitutional Court's chief judge, Daniele Darlan, said Touadera clinched victory in the first round of the December election with 53.16 percent of the vote, trailed by former Prime Minister Anicet Georges Dologuele with 21.69 percent.

But Darlan said turnout was little more than a third, with many unable to vote because of the lack of security.

“What she has been trying to do blatantly is to meddle in Uganda’s internal politics, particularly elections, to subvert our elections and the will of the people,” he said. “She shouldn’t do anything outside the diplomatic norms.”

– REUTERS. Toudera, 63, went on national television to appeal for national reconciliation.

"I reach out a patriotic hand to the democratic opposition so that our country can escape from the vicious cycle of violence and destruction," he said, vowing to work to "defuse the preand post-electoral political climate." The Constitutional Court dismissed arguments that Touadera's election lacked legitimacy. It rejected a suit filed by 13 of the 16 other candidates, who argued that his victory was the result of "massive fraud" and insecurity. – AFP.

NEW YORK - UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres hailed “tangible progress” made in recent months in tackling Libya’s almost decade-long crisis, in a report submitted on Monday to the Security Council in which he demanded all foreign troops and mercenaries leave the country by the week’s end.

“Tangible progress was achieved in advancing the UNSMIL-facilitated political, security and economic intra-Libyan dialogues over the last few months,” said the document, obtained by AFP and referring to the UN mission in Libya. – AFP.

Biden facing ‘competing crises’ as he takes office WASHINGTON - A raging pandemic. An economic crisis. A nation divided. Deep racial wounds.

Joe Biden has his work cut out for him as he prepares to be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States today.

“What’s unique for Biden is not so much the fact of crisis, it’s the number of competing crises,” said Mary Stuckey, a communications professor at Penn State University.

Perhaps the biggest is the coronavirus pandemic, which has left some 400, 000 Americans dead.

“We have 4, 000 Americans dying of Covid every day,” said David Farber, a history professor at the University of Kansas.

Biden has outlined a multi-pronged plan to combat the pandemic that includes expanded testing and contact tracing and vaccinating 100 million Americans in his first 100 days in the White House.

But the coronavirus pandemic cannot consume all of the attention of the 78-year-old Biden, the oldest man ever to take the oath as president.

Not many American presidents have been met with an economic situation such as Biden is inheriting, although a few of his predecessors faced even worse.

Biden recently proposed a $1.9 trillion rescue package, dubbed the American Rescue Plan, to revitalise the world’s largest economy.

Shirley Anne Warshaw, a political science professor at Gettysburg College, said the political polarisation in the United States after four years under President Donald Trump presents an entirely different challenge.

Biden’s first days in the Oval Office may be complicated by what happens with Trump, who was impeached by the House of Representatives on January 13 and faces a potential trial in the Senate.

“That’s going to just literally eat up time,” Farber said, “the time Biden needs to get his appointees in place, the time he could start some fundamental policy initiatives.

“It’s no way to start a new policy regime.”

Biden is also taking the helm of a nation that has been rocked by months of protests for racial justice following the deaths of African-Americans at the hands of police. – AFP.

ADOPT MORE WOMEN, PARTIES URGED

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Women for Change, has challenged political parties that will contest this year’s general elections to consider adopting as many women as possible.

Women for Change Executive Director, Lumba Siyanga, said women were able to deliver and push the development agenda of the country.

Ms Siyanga was speaking in an interview with the Daily Nation in Kitwe.

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA

THE Copperbelt University (CBU) in Kitwe has switched to online learning for the next two weeks to avoid the spread of Covid-19 This follows the Ministry of Higher Education’s directive that that institution switch to online learning effective Monday January 18, this year.

Last week, CBU management announced that it was implementing mandatory testing, symptom monitoring and infection prevention and control protocols for all students and members of staff.

The university said the uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 spread and impact demanded flexibility to respond to the disease risk in real time.

CBU Communications Officer, Christabel Malama, said the directive came as a result of the recent spike in Covid-19 cases across the country.

“The University has since switched to virtual learning for the next two weeks. We have also taken a proactive approach to ensure the safety of staff and students through symptom monitoring, and infection prevention and control protocols,” she said.

Ms Malama called on the university community to adhere to the health guidelines as prescribed by the Ministry of Health.

‘PF growth agenda unmatched’

By NATION REPORTER GOVERNMENT has successfully ushered in an era of unprecedented development initiatives that will spur diversification of the national economy, says Kabushi aspiring candidate Tonny Mwape.

Mr Mwape said in an interview in Ndola that President Edgar Lungu has put in place socioeconomic policies culminating in infrastructure development, more investment in energy projects.

He however said the global slowdown as a result of Covid-19 had compounded some of the challenges.

Mr Mwape said Government had introduced the Economic Recovery Programme to revamp and industrialize the agriculture sector and other critical sectors.

He said he had decided to aspire for the Kabushi parliamentary constituency in Ndola because he wanted to contribute to the PF’s development agenda.

“Good economic performance translates into continued tangible poverty reduction and

wealth creation especially at grass root level.

“This will be achieved with accountability and good performance continuing to be the focus of the PF Government in order to effectively respond to current and future challenges,” he said.

He said as the nation prepares for the August 2021 general elections, it was imperative for members of Parliament (MPs) to highlight what Government has managed to undertake. They should explain the benefits of such development projects and programmes to the heart of Zambians.

“This will enable the electorate to appreciate the works of the Government and why they need to retain the ruling party to continue improving the welfare of the general populace,” he said.

Mr Mwape said the President Lungu has on many occasions stressed the need for MPs and Cabinet Ministers to visit constituents.

He pointed out that the PF Government would always be guided by three strategic documents,

the people in a proper manner.

She observed that most women were in a habit of giving up when not adopted, a situation she said should by all means be discouraged. Ms Siyanga explained that there was no need for one to belong to a political party for them to be adopted.

Women, she said, could even stand as independent candidates as long as they were well established on the ground of their respective communities.

She urged the citizens to encourage and vote for women that they feel would work for them and represent them well.

Simply visit any of our branches nearest to you to do this.

Funds transfer Allows you to make your own account money transfers, mobile banking transfers using a mobile number, within bank transfers, interbank transfers and bank – to-wallet transfers.

Cash Out Allows you to send money to someone who does not have an account with IBP which they can collect from ALL our ATMs, at our Agents and the 543 Konse Konse outlets.

Statements Allows you to view your mini bank statements which you can also request to be sent to you as a text message.

Change Invest Mobile PIN Gives you that peace of mind at a time when you suspect that your pin is not secure and is compromised by enabling you to change it.

Evolving For The Customer – Safety & Wellness Is Key As the world keeps to evolve, many aspects of doing things change too. Banking and the way we conduct business ranks highly on the list of so many things that continue to change at alarming paces. Gone are the days when we viewed Mobile money services and Traditional banks as rivalries.

In the recent past, we have witnessed these entities begin to work in partnership with the core objective to serve customers –talk of strategic partnerships that build.

Enhancement Of The Funds Transfer Function In adding value to our service delivery, particularly on our mobile banking platform, we recently enhanced the Funds Transfer function to include the MTN and Zamtel wallets as well as the 543 merchants. This is in addition to the Zoona wallet. This development means that our customers are now able to transfer money straight from their accounts to the ‘Momo’ wallet on MTN and the Zamtel Kwacha wallet respectively. The service is available on our *427# menu under option 4. The transactions carry a flat fee of K10, and one can transfer up to K20,000.00 per day. What’s more dear Reader? 543 Merchants are now able to transfer money to their 543 POS terminals for transactions such as the purchase of airtime. Banking couldn’t be easier.

Awesome Benefits In It For You We are excited that we are able to provide alternative ways of conducting business for our customers by increasing access points to their money. Gone are the days when making funds transfers or sending money to other people meant literally going to the bank or ATMs to make withdrawals. The good news now dear Reader is that you are spoilt for choice! Making payments for anything couldn’t be simpler. You can still count on your money without literally touching it, enabling you to make payments for goods/services in the comfort of your own spaces. This does not only give you the peace of mind that you need knowing you are able to conduct business where you are alongside saving time to do other things that matter, but it also protects you from the ravages of Covid -19.

The beauty of such integrations or synergies is that people who use these services, for instance, by way of receiving funds from friends/loved ones may eventually decide to become bank customers. This transition helps them to access full banking services which they would otherwise not have access to such as direct debit transfers as well as loans. This ultimately helps to empower them to be active players in the growth of the economy.

The wallet enhancement will open up your world to a whole new way of paying for various products and services Our partnership with cGrate on the 543 platforms will, for instance, enable you to pay for services at Shoprite, Game, Melisa, Cheers and Wool Worth’s Food. You also get to enjoy the benefits of using Tigmoo eats, enabling you to make payments for food and deliveries straight from your account.

Dear Reader, we trust that you enjoyed the read and that you will stay safe and maximise the usage of our *427# platform and other electronic channels that we have on offer during this very difficult time. Please stay safe. Mask Up, stay home, practice social distancing, avoid shaking hands and hugs, wash your hands with soap regularly/sanitise.

Join the IBP family today and enjoy conducting banking and other business better and safer!

Visit any of our branches nearest to you, IBP friendly staff will be on hand to welcome you.

Stay blessed and be a blessing to others.

Women for Change is an organisation that works to build the capacity of rural communities especially women and girls to achieve sustainable development.

“A country that leaves out women in key leadership positions would not develop because it would mean that 51percent of girls and women are left behind,” he said.

Ms Siyanga advised women that would want to stand as candidates this year to start getting on the ground and make their intentions known.

She said that they needed to get busy and show that they were able to represent

Forest Rangers goalkeeper coach in double punishment

By MICHAEL MIYOBA AFTER he was suspended by FAZ for practicing juju fetishes during a FAZ/MTN Super Division Week-13 fixture, between Prison Leopards and Forest Rangers at President Stadium in Kabwe on Saturday, Forest Rangers have handed another punishment to their goalkeeper coach Charles Chileshe.

According to a letter obtained by Daily Nation and signed

by Forest Rangers secretary Wisdom Musonda, Chileshe has been suspended indefinitely from performing duties of the club pending investigations.

“Following your misconduct exhibited during the match against Prison Leopards Football Club on 16th January 2021, you are hereby as of January 18th 2021 suspended indefinitely from performing all duties of the club pending investigations,” read the letter in part. “Furthermore you are hereby expected to exculpate yourself within seven days why the club must not sanction charges against you for your actions mentioned above.” Chileshe was firmed sprinkling an unknown substance in goal and urinating or simulation of urinating against one of the goalposts at President Stadium.

And Forest Rangers has requested the technical bench to provide a detailed account of the incident and to ensure that such an unfortunate incident does not reoccur.

In a statement issued by the club’s Communications Manager Christina Zulu, Forest noted that Chileshe’s behaviour is against the club’s principles of good sportsmanship which include the promotion of strong Christian values. Zulu noted that the club remains committed to promoting the growth of football in Zambia by upholding professional conduct and fair play.

Inside Sports

By MICHAEL MIYOBA FTER subduing Nkana FC 2-1 on Sunday, Zesco United continue their MTN/FAZ Super Division journey with a clash against Nkwazi in a rescheduled Week-12 fixture at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

The Ndola giants drilled by Numba Mumamba go into today’s fixture seeking maximum three points which will take them to the summit of the 18-team Super Division table.

The eight-times Zambian champions are second with 22 points, one point behind log leaders Prison Leopards and a win over Nkwazi will give take them to 25 points.

It is a tough test for Nkwazi who have failed to pick a win from their last three matches in which they recorded two draws and one painful home loss to Power Dynamos.

“It will be a tough game but we have prepared well for Zesco United and we are just thinking of the maximum three points,” said Nkwazi FC second assistant coach Keegan Phiri.

Meanwhile, Forest Rangers will seek to bounce back from

the painful 2-0 defeat to Prison Leopards on Saturday when they take on struggling NAPSA Stars who will be without their head coach Mohamed Fathi who is in quarantine after he tested positive to Covid-19.

NAPSA Stars assistant coach Geoffrey Hamakwenda is in charge of the Pensioners ahead of today’s rescheduled week-six game slated for Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

Hamakwenda expect a tough

game against Forest Rangers who he described as one of the toughest sides in the Super Division but the Pensioners’ target is to win the game for Fathi.

“It will be a tough game but all we need are the three points to get out of the position we are in right now.

“Forest Rangers are not a small team, they are a good side what we need to do is to start on a high and make sure that we get goals to win,” Hamakwenda said.

A win over Forest Rangers will push NAPSA Stars who are languishing in the Relegation zone to 11th position on the league table.

On Friday League action returns with Midlands giants Green Buffaloes and ZANACO locking horns in a week 14 fixture at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka.

Aubameyang scored twice as Arsenal moved into top ten PIERRE-EMERICK Aubameyang scored twice as Arsenal beat Newcastle to move into the top 10 of the Premier League and increase the pressure on Magpies boss Steve Bruce.

Aubameyang, who had earlier hit the post from a tight angle in the first half, opened the scoring in the 50th minute when he fired past Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow.

Arsenal doubled their lead as Emile

Smith Rowe’s pullback found Bukayo Saka and the England international side-footed the ball into the net.

Aubameyang, 31, got his second and the Gunners’ third after Cedric Soares, in his first league start of the season, got to the byline and set up the striker.

The Gabon international scored 29 goals in all competitions last season, including 22 in the Premier League, but he had previously struggled for goals in 2020-21.

This double took his league total to five for the campaign and boss Mikel Arteta was pleased to see Aubameyang return to form.

“He needed that for his confidence and the team needs that to be successful,” said the Gunners manager.

“We were missing his goals, we all know that, so to have them back is great for the team.”

Miguel Almiron had Newcastle’s best

Stephen Curry (right) finished with 26 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers 115-113 to end their five-game winning streak.

STPHEN Curry finished with 26 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Los Angeles Lakers 115-113 to end their five-game winning streak.

Curry scored a three-pointer with 1:07 left before the Lakers' LeBron James missed a threepointer at the horn.

Kevin Durant scored a key late three-pointer in his 30 points as Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 125-123.

James Harden, with 34 points, became the first Net to score 30 points in his first two games.

NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2018 joined the Nets from the Houston Rockets last week as

part of a four-team deal.

That trade saw the Rockets acquire Victor Oladipo from the Indiana Pacers and he scored 32 points on his team debut at the Chicago Bulls, but the hosts ran out 125-120 winners with Zach LaVine scoring 33 points.

Bam Adebayo produced his fifth double-double of the season with 28 points and 11 rebounds to help the Miami Heat - without four key players because of Covid-19 protocols - rally to a 113-107 win over the Detroit Pistons.

In yesterday's other game, Kyle Lowry scored 23 points as the Toronto Raptors won 116-93 to hand the Dallas

chance but shot over from the edge of the penalty area when it was goalless.

The victory takes Arsenal above Aston Villa into 10th, with the Gunners seven points adrift of fourth-placed Liverpool in the last Champions League qualifying spot.

Newcastle are 15th, seven points clear of 18th-placed Fulham, although the London side have a game in hand.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC

Stephen Curry helps Warriors beat Los Angeles Lakers Mavericks their third straight loss.

It is the first time this season that the Raptors, playing at their temporary home in Tampa due to Covid-19 restrictions in Canada, have won three in a row.

The Washington Wizards game scheduled for today at the Charlotte Hornets is now postponed after six players tested positive for Covid-19.

It is the fifth match in a row over an eight-day span to be called off for the Wizards that has been called off as they are unable to send a minimum eight players on to the court under NBA health and safety protocols. – BBC.
