Chibombo MFEZ preps on course By KETRA KALUNGA

BASIC operations at the US$150 million Chibombo Multi-Facility Economic Zone (MFEZ) will start at the end of this year. This follows the completion of all the six steel plants and an initial investment of about US$160 million. The multi-million dollar project has attracted investment from six foreign companies among them, a tobacco growing and processing company that has already started installation works. Jiangxi United Industrial Investment Limited general manager, Xu Jiangfeng, said the completion of the industrial zone has attracted an addition of five companies with intention of investing in transformer equipment and solar energy assembly plants

among others. Mr Xu said in a statement that negotiations were underway with other companies interested in gravel crushing, and gasoline. He indicated that the industries would create an annual output value of US$320 million and create 6, 000 jobs for the local community. “The industrial park will always adhere to the concept of consultation, co-construction, and sharing, take root and integrate into local areas, especially in promoting Zambia's industrialisation and local employment,” he said. Mr. Xu added that US$40 million had been invested in infrastructure, including roads within the industrial zone. He said an additional US$60 million would be spent in the construction of a

power substation and an administrative complex among others in three years. Mr Xu said more capital would be invested in the project based on the performance

of the business promotion. The industries to be set up in the multi-million Chibombo MFEZ include among others agriculture, food processing, and textiles.

She then reported the matter to police which led to her apprehension on the February 4, 2021, by members of the community after they heard an announcement on a local radio station that someone had stolen a baby. She narrated while breast-feeding in court that when members of the community apprehended Mulenga and asked her to give back the baby to her she denied insisting that she was pregnant and that she had given birth to a baby three days ago even though the baby looked older with no umbilical code. Resident Magistrate Mumba adjourned the matter to March 9, 2021, for continued trial, after Public Prosecutor Ali Goma applied that the matter be adjourned to allow him call other prosecutions witnesses. The court had since ordered that the baby in question be in custody of Ms Mubanga, after the prosecutor applied before the court to do so pursuant to section 171 of the Criminal Procedure Code Chapter 88, of the Laws of Zambia.

HATEMBOS HIDING IN THE BUSH FROM PAGE 1 The organisation has appealed to the State to look into the plight of Nevea Hatembo, the woman who was assaulted by unidentified assailants after her family lost the legal battle with United Party for National Development president Hakainde Hichilema. To Page 3 “This issue has been reported to Macha Police, and this is where we want to passionately appeal to the State to take keen interest in what is happening in this issue, because clearly some criminal elements are taking advantage of the fact that the land transaction has been politicised,” Mr Phiri said “We are not concerned about the private affair or

the transaction that happened between private parties in the name of the Hatembo family and whosoever was involved in that land issue,” he said. Mr Phiri said, the state may be blamed if something happened to the Hatembos as they are mandated to protect the lives of all citizens. And Zitukule Consortium Board chairperson Partner Siabutuba emphasised on the need to protect the lives of the Hatembos looking at how lives have been lost in this country as a result of political squabbles. Efforts to get a comment from Southern Province Commissioner of Police Alfred Nawa proved futile as his phone was unreachable.

ALICK NKHATA BRIDGE IS NOT SAFE, MAINTAINS EIZ By KETRA KALUNGA

HE Alick Nkhata Flyover bridge in Lusaka is not safe even with the remedial works done as far as the Engineering Institute of Zambia (EIZ) is concerned EIZ president Abel Ng’andu said although they maintain the bridge was not safe, they do not have authority to demolish it. Engineer Ng’andu was reacting to the assurance

given by project resident engineer, Terence Mukula that the bridge was safe following remedial works on transitional points which various stakeholders said were not safe along with other parts that had defects. But Eng. Ng’andu said EIZ maintains that the bridge was not safe because it was not constructed in line with the specifications. He said in an interview that the flyover bridge does not meet standards

in terms of geometrical design. “This is the position of EIZ, not my position, that bridge is not safe and it does not meet the specifications,” Eng Ng’andu said. Mr. Mukula appealed to the EIZ to rescind its recommendations to have the bridge brought down because the defects had been rectified. He said it was a waste of resources to bring down the entire bridge and start afresh when the defects could be corrected.

Mr Nakachinda, the former secretary-general has organised a national consultative meeting with selected officials and founder members under what is termed, True Blue MMD. Mr Nakachinda, who is nominated Member of Parliament and minister of Water Development and Sanitation, said in an interview the convention planned by Dr Mumba was irregular and unconstitutional and should be ignored by members. “Dr Mumba’s obsession for self-preservation has gone beyond the limits,” Mr Nakachinda said. He maintained that the convention cannot be held without conducting any lower organs’ free, fair and transparent elections from the branch up to the province. These lower organ elec-

tions, he said, should culminate into the convention to elect legitimate party leaders where delegates to the convention who are the electoral college should be selected from as per MMD party constitution Article 12 © (d) € and (f ). “We should not be part of those who are determined to kill the MMD, just to preserve their selfish personal interest,” he said However, Ms Elizabeth Chitika, the party spokesperson brushed off Mr Nakachinda’s sentiments maintaining that he was irrelevant and had been caught unawares about the plans for the convention. Open Save MMD is not part of the structure of the MMD and therefore the party would not respond to its ranting, Ms Chitika said. The convention is legal and called by the legitimate NEC and followed all our constitutional provisions and there is nothing unconstitutional by the planned convention “Mr Nakachinda is not a member of our party, and has nothing to do with our party,” she said.

‘Load-shedding ends’ By PETER SICHALI LOAD-SHEDDING which the country has experienced since 2019 has ended, Zesco Media Liaison Officer Ntalasha Mutale has said. Ms Mutale said Zesco was no longer implementing the countrywide load-shedding programme that was initiated in June 2019. She said the end of load-shedding was due to increased power generation resulting from good rainfall experienced during the 2020/2021 season. Ms Mutale said the good

rains the country is experiencing has led to increased water inflows in the Kafue River basin. This, she said, consequently increased water levels for power generation for both the Kafue Gorge Upper Hydro Power Plant and the Itezhi Tezhi Hydro Power Plant which were generating 900 megawatts and 60 megawatts respectively. "There has been an increased in power generation at Kafue upper and Itezhi Tezhi from 600MW and 40MW last year to 900 and 60 megawatts respectively," Ms Mutale said.

By KETRA KALUNGA PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has directed University of Zambia (UNZA) management to investigate whether all the money that students pay as accommodation fee reaches its accounts. President Lungu made the directive yesterday when he commissioned the teach-

ing and learning complex at UNZA. Mr Lungu said he has been prompted to make the call because of the disturbing reports he has received that genuine students such as the first-years were grappling with accommodation while some former students still occupy rooms at the institution. President Lungu said he

has also received reports that some students and even former students were renting out accommodation to those who have nowhere to stay. He urged UNZA management to ensure that the practice was stopped immediately because it bordered on criminality, adding that students were there to learn and not to become landlords.

Speaking earlier, acting minister of Higher Education Dennis Wanchinga said the newly commissioned lecture theatre would increase the amount of time devoted to learning and would help in enforcing social distancing which is one of the golden rules of Covid-19 prevention. And UNZA Vice-Chancellor, Professor Luke Mumba said they were excited about the achievement because for a long time infrastructure has not been expanded to meet the growing and changing academic requirements of the institution.

BOOST PRODUCTION ZAMBIA should work out ways of boosting production and operations in critical sectors of the economy while pursuing the International Monetary Fund rescue package. The economic outlay needs to be adjusted to stimulate growth in critical sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, energy and mining. Yes, the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) has adjusted the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR) from 8.0 to 8.5 percent to contain inflation which ballooned to 21.6 percent in January, but this measure requires to be buttressed by increased production. Prices will remain high in the short-term, but eventually slide down in the medium term. The lasting solution is to boost operations in the productive sectors. In the manufacturing sector, there is need to address encumbrances which include high electricity tariffs, which invariably trigger high cost of production. The Zambia Association of Manufacturers has time and again complained about the shocking electricity tariffs. It is also prudent for the country to come up with a sustainable energy mix, blending hydro-power, solar energy and other clean energy sources. More players could be invited in the electricity sub-sector which has been dominated by state-owned Zesco Limited. The country also needs a resilience agriculture sector to guarantee food security, create job opportunities as well as boost exports. This sector could also be harnessed in such a manner that the value-chain is strengthened in the manufacturing sector. Looking at the MPR which was adjusted to 8.5 percent, it is actually being used as an instrument to bring down inflation by making contracting money supply. On the flip-side, those saving money will earn more interest, though it is difficult for any firm to save, given the precarious position of the country’s economy. The tricky part of the whole scenario is that the measure (MPR) may not be holistic because the economy is certainly not performing well. One of the ways of coming out of this poor economic scenario is to bolster agriculture and remodel the sector. There is an imperative need promoting other crops for agricultural diversification to take root and contribute to food security and reduction of poverty. Government and the private sector should create market linkages with the country and extending beyond the borders, particularly into the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Most of the food consumed in Katanga province of DRC comes from Zambia, hence the need to boost export in a more coordinated fashion. Cooperatives are a sure and reliable model of bringing farmers together so that they can coordinate their businesses as a group in an organised manner. Small-scale farmers have for a long time been producing the bulk of food crops in the country, especially maize and they surely need maximum support. For instance, small-scale farmers grow rice in Chembe, Mongu and Chama. In Mbala and Senga Hill areas, farmers have been growing beans, but many of them remain stuck with their produce. Therefore, farmers should be incentivised through proper cooperatives, provided with agro extension services and reliable markets until they graduate into the higher bracket to stand on their own. The Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) should be reviewed to make it more sustainable and beneficial because some farmers have been on this initiative for more than 10 years. FISP was designed in such a way that farmers should graduate into a higher bracket after a few years. Agriculture is a sure remedy!

‘Pension reforms needed to ensure speedy payments’ By PETER SICHALI GOVERNMENT should make pension reforms to suit the current economic situation to ensure payments are expedited, Zambia Next Avenue for Retirees (ZANARE) president Albert Muyembe has said.

He said it was important for Government to make pension payments on the priority agenda to reduce the number of retirees dying without getting their benefits. "We can only urge government to make pension reforms to suit the current situation as opposed to traditional payas-you-go pension schemes which have outlived their usefulness," Mr Muyembe said.

Govt implementing Covid -19 response measures in tourism sector - PS GOVERNMENT says it has already started implementing some recommendations of the response measures highlighted in the findings of the assessment of the effects of Covid-19 on trade in tourism even before the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic struck. Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry Permanent Secretary Mushuma Mulenga said during the presentation of the 2021 budget to parliament, the Ministry of Finance made favourable pronouncements regarding the tourism sector. The pronouncements were aimed at boosting the sector which is in line with the findings of this particular assessment. Mr. Mulenga said this during a virtual joint launch of the findings of the assessment of the effects of Covid-19 on trade in tourism and Covid-19 response measures for Zambia between the Ministry of Commerce Trade and Industry and the Ministry of Tourism in Lusaka yesterday. He said the Covid-19 pandemic has been cited as a

global crisis affecting human health and wealth which has been acknowledged by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). He said the Covid-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented disruption to the global economy and world trade as production and consumption are scaled back across the globe. Mr. Mulenga further said the Covid-19 pandemic has wrecked devastation on trade performance for most business and industries including the tourism sector which has been identified as one of the hardest hit by the pandemic. He said Zambia’s tourism industry, like other sectors, has been faced with hardships in terms of sustaining a good business environment hence government was prompted to put up measures that respond to the effect of Covid-19 on trade and business welfare. “The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) has revealed that the total contributions of tourism to

Mushanga said. He said Government had delivered development to the people and would continue to do so even after bouncing back to office after the August 12 general elections.

global GDP stood at 10 percent in 2019. However this was projected to contract by 20 percent to 30 percent in 2020 and further projected the Covid-19 pandemic could cut down 50 million jobs worldwide in the travel and tourism industry,” he stated. Mr. Mulenga said this further prompted government to seek an in-depth understanding of the extent of the impact of Covid-19 on the tourism sector in order to facilitate evidence based policy recommendations given that the sector is profiled as one of the promising areas. “The four modes covers consumption of tourism services from abroad using internets bookings, who physically travelled from one country to another to consume a services ,establishment of foreign businesses in Zambia to provide a service through foreign direct investment and foreign professionals such as specialist who travel from their own country to another to provide a service for a specific period of time,” he stated. - ZANIS.

And NHIMA, Director for Quality Assurance and Accreditation, Mpuma Kamanga, says the authority’s main purpose is to achieve Universal Health coverage for all citizens without having any financial barriers. Dr Kamanga was speaking during a sensitization meeting in Senanga district, Western Province yesterday. Dr Kamanga also explained that NHIMA team is touring hospitals in the province to get feedback on the implementation of the scheme. “The scheme will ensure members of the public have access to quality health care services, and we do not want people to start looking for money when they seek health services at health facilities, because the scheme is available,” Dr. Kamanga stated. Meanwhile, NHIMA Senior Public Relations Officer, Mutolo Mwamba has called on Senanga General Hospital management to utilise the

media in sensitising the public about NHIMA and the services it offers. Ms. Mwamba said it is important that everyone is aware of the scheme to achieve the universal benefits. “We are all ambassadors of information dissemination and the only way of not leaving anyone behind is by continued sensitization of the scheme and explain what it offers,” Ms Mwamba noted. And Senanga General Hospital, Acting Medical Superintendent, Jeff Musafiri has urged NHIMA members to identify themselves at health facilities so that they are not charged for health services. “A front desk is available at the Outpatient Department (OPD) at the hospital to provide all the needed information about the scheme and get help,” He stated. NHIMA team is in Western Province visiting selected districts to share information and get feedback on how the scheme is being implemented in hospitals. Since its inception the scheme has since registered 1 million members and is now recruiting from the informal sector. - ZANIS.

STALLED PROJECTS IN CHONGWE RE-SCOPED By JOHN KOMBE

OVERNMENT will re-scope works on three key roads that have stalled in Chongwe to achieve maximum impact of the available resources, says, National Road Fund Agency (NRFA), Chief Executive Officer, Wallace Mumba. Mr Mumba noted that some road projects had slowed down due to lack of adequate funding, hence the decision to re-scope the works. He made the observation in the company of Chongwe Member of Parliament (MP), Japhen Mwakalombe, during a check on some road projects that had slowed down. Others in the entourage were officers from the Road Development Agency (RDA)

Mr Mumba, therefore, said that there was need to re-scope the works in order to ensure that the resources were adequate for the project. He said that the district had a huge commercial and an agriculture communi-

Mr Mumba said the goal of re-scoping the works would be to provide accessibility for the public on all critical road links in the short term while deferring the delivery of roads of bituminous standard to a future date when funds become available.

‘Aspiring candidates need guidance’ By NATION REPORTER THE PF leadership should guide aspiring candidates to stop giving money to woo supporters because some candidates misunderstood President Edgar Lungu’s decision to allow them sell themselves to electorates, a Mandevu PF official, Lemmy Bwalya has said. Mr Bwalya, said flashing money had the potential to divide party structures and could result in members defecting to the opposition or

to contest elections as independent candidates. “Having been in the party since inception, I have never seen what is happening now, money exchanging hands between some aspirants and electorates in this manner,” he said. Some officials feel that the move would lead to the shrinking of the democratic space in the party and divisions if not quickly curtailed. Some aspiring candidates were reported to have been giving electorates K500 each for attending their political

Mr Bwalya said it was important for all members to treat sensitive matters of concern with the aggressiveness they deserve. He said with the polls nearing under a controversial 50+1 percent threshold for the winning President, it was important for members to work in unison.

The Lubansenshi law marker stated that the party in the district is growing due to the unprecedented development witnessed under the leadership of President Edgar Lungu. "Luwingu has immensely developed under the PF regime, we now have a mini hospital under construction, the first ever filling station, road infrastructure among other projects, “ he pointed out.

INCREASED MINING STIMULATES NORTH-WEST ENTERPRISES Zambian-owned logistics firm, Quattro Company, has become the latest local business to benefit from the increase in productivity at First Quantum Minerals BY BUUMBA CHIMBULU

ROWING mining activity in North-Western Province has sparked increased demand for reliable and efficient transportation services. Zambian-owned logistics firm, Quattro Company, has become the latest local business to benefit from the increase in productivity at First Quantum Minerals (FQM) Sentinel Mine in Kalumbila. The company plays an important role in the mine’s smooth operation, running a fleet of buses to ensure miners arrive safely and on time for their shifts. Quattro Operations Manager, Japhet Banda, said one of the most important objectives in every mine was maximising production which in turn led to higher revenue. Mr Banda however said this could not be achieved if the workforce was crippled by a transportation system that prevented them from getting to their workstations on time. He said Quattro’s partnership with FQM therefore had enabled the company to expand its operations, creating more employment opportunities for local communities. “Quattro wouldn’t be what it is today without the sup-

port of large companies like FQM. “We have grown to be one of the largest transporters in the local mining sector thanks to the partnerships we have cultivated with multinationals. As a result, we have been able to grow our fleet and employ more people,” Mr Banda said in a statement. FQM Government Affairs Specialist, Godwin Beene, said the long-term economic growth potential in North-Western Prov-

ince should not be viewed through the prism of mining alone. Dr Beene said FQM’s presence had led to the emergence of new businesses and expansion of existing ones such as Quattro. “First Quantum’s commitment to operationalise its local procurement policy to maximise the long-term secondary economic development in its area of operations creates a perfect synergy with other sector players, providing a multitude of

opportunities for local businesses,” he said. Dr Beene said Quattro was providing logistical services to FQM’s Kansanshi and Kalumbila mines. FQM believes that when transport systems are safe and efficient, they create socio-economic opportunities that benefit the value chain through better access to markets, employment, and additional investments. Over the last decade, North-Western Province has grown into the ‘new Copperbelt’, producing nearly 50percent of the country’s copper. And by close of 2020, Zambia, Africa’s second-largest copper producer had seen a 9.45 percent increase in copper output compared with 2019.

We have grown to be one of the largest transporters in the local mining sector thanks to the partnerships we have cultivated with multinationals. As a result, we have been able to grow our fleet and employ more people,” Mr Banda said in a statement.

Copper prices boom By BUUMBA CHIMBULU COPPER prices have jumped to their highest in nearly a decade as top metals consumer China returned from a week-long Lunar New Year holiday, with brightening demand prospects and supply concerns underpinning the market. This added impetus to a rally that has almost doubled prices since the height of coronavirus worries last March, says the Mining. Com Newsletter. Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange rose as much as 2.1 percent to US$8,565 a tonne in early Asia trade, its strongest since April 2012, resuming its rally after a modest pullback in the previous session. “The most-traded March copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained as much as 4.7 percent to US$9,747.29 a tonne, a level not seen since September 2011. “Underpinning the rally is resurgent demand in China, the biggest metals consumer, expectations of tight supply, and a rush of speculative investment, with many analysts predicting a multi-year bull run,” the Newsletter said. The newsletter indicated that other industrial metals also jumped, with aluminum at its highest since

2018, nickel its strongest since 2014, tin its strongest since 2012 and lead its highest since 2019. “Oil prices gained more than $1 a barrel as frigid Texas temperatures shut production across the largest U.S. crude producing state, with the unusually cold weather expected to hamper output for days or even weeks. “Brent crude settled at US$64.34 a barrel, gaining 99 cents, or 1.6 percent, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude settled at US$61.14 a barrel, rising US$1.09, or 1.8 percent. Both benchmarks were at their highest levels since January last year,” the Newsletter said. Meanwhile, Absa Bank Zambia indicated that the Zambian Kwacha continued to trade in retreat against the US dollar despite trading flat in yesterday’s relatively quiet session. “This is largely due to the demand heavy market with thin supply in sight. By 08:30 hours. Market opened with the Kwacha trading at K21.60/21.65 per dollar on the bid and offer respectively, where it traded until market close. “The local unit is likely to continue trading in the back foot in the near term as the demand/supply imbalance remains eminent,” the Bank said in its daily market report.

Japan avails $600m loan for African support By BUUMBA CHIMBULU A LOAN worth over US$600 million to execute concessional financing and grants for African countries has been signed by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the African Development Fund (ADF). The financing targets countries facing economic challenges caused by Covid-19. ADF is the concessional arm of the African Development Bank Group (AfDB). The concessional donor loan will support the 15th replenishment of the ADF, approved in December 2019 by ADF donor countries. As of February 2021, Ja-

pan’s total contribution to the initiative amounted to US$4.6 billion. JICA president, Kitaoka Shinichi, said the Covid-19 crisis had accelerated global structural changes. Mr Shinichi observed that Africa was still in the midst of this crisis, facing serious challenges from coronavirus variants and the cold storage requirements for vaccines. “Only a united Africa can defeat this threat to humanity. We should not allow this virus to jeopardize the steady progress of freedoms, independence and democracy that African countries have made so far. “I firmly believe that today’s contribution to ADF-15 will further boost our cooper-

ation with African countries and strengthen our partnership with the AfDB group,” he said during a virtual signing ceremony. Japanese Ambassador to Côte d’Ivoire, Kuramitsu Hideaki, whose country has been the fifth-largest contributor to the ADF in cumulative terms, said the loan formed part of Japan’s commitment to promote industrial human resource development. Ambassador Hideaki said the loan was also part of the innovation, investment, and to invest in quality infrastructure to enhance connectivity, expressed at the TICAD 7 conference in August 2019. “I sincerely hope that this loan in yen will allow the (African Development

Fund) to execute concessional financing and grants for African countries facing emerging challenges caused by Covid-19 and contribute to the economic and social development of these countries,” he said. ADF, Deputy Director-General, Mimura Atsushi, said the Fund was a key source of financing for Africa’s low-income countries heavily affected by Covid-19. “The Yen Loan we are providing today has a higher grant-element compared to the Yen Loan provided for the last ADF replenishment, with a lower interest rate and longer maturity. “Going forward, I would like to see our partnership further developed with the

African Development Bank Group,” he said. AfDB president, Akinwumi Adesina, highlighted the AfDB’s long-standing partnership with the Government of Japan, including the Enhanced Private Sector Assistance Initiative, which was launched in 2005. Dr Adesina pointed out that Japan’s concessional donor loan was almost 10% of the total ADF-15 resources of US$7.5 billion. “This is a continuation of the strong leadership role of Japan in providing concessional loans to the African Development Fund. Japan continues to add great value to the overall replenishment cycles of the African Development Fund,” he said.

Low Grade One enrolment riles chief

SENIOR chief Sailunga of the Lunda people in Mwinilunga has warned of stern action against parents whose eligible children have not been enrolled into Grade One. The traditional leader said every parent who has not enrolled their eligible children into Grade One will go and work at his farm as punishment. “You who have not enrolled your children in Grade One, I am taking you for cultivation at my farm, this I will do, I don’t lie,” Senior Chief Sailunga said. He sounded the warning during a community sensitization exercise Thursdayon child September, 2020 protection held at3 Kazozu primary school in Mwinilunga yesterday. He expressed displeasure

at the low enrolment of children in grade one at the school. The visibly annoyed traditional leader said he was ashamed to learn that only 28 children had been enrolled into Grade One at the school. Senior chief Sailunga said he understood the demographics of Kazozu community hence will not accept that only 28 children had enrolled at the school. He said he will, in the company of the area councillor and the school head teacher, go from house to house to register all the children in Kazozu community. “Tomorrow at 08:00 hours I will be coming back here passing door to door registering children into grade one, every child I will find will register for grade one enrolment,” he said. The traditional leader since has pledged to buy books and pencils for all the children he will enrol at the school. ZANIS

COVID-19:

The residents have complained that, with the heavy rains being experienced, the road was becoming impassable, especially with small vehicles. Confirming the development in an interview yesterday, Mr Twambo Mutinta, a youth activist, said that a stretch of about 45 kilometres had actually become impassable posing a threat to travellers. Mr Mutinta, a resident of Itezhi tezhi said that the state of the road was deplorable and should be repaired quickly. "The state of the road is a death trap. The road is deplorable and a stretch of about 45 kilometers is very bad, smaller vehicles like Corolla can't pass there. Vehicles can't sway from the main road then you become stuck," he said. He said as a result of the bad road, some transporters has stopped going to the area for fear of damaging their vehicles.

vehicle for drivers has become expansive," Mr Mutinta said. He said that some of the buses that used to operate on the Itezhi tezhi route were now shunning it because of the poor state of the road. "Now, there has been a rumour that someone has been given money to finish the road project but we are asking for answers as residents. We want to know who that contractor is because we don't want that project to resume towards campaigns.

"People have discovered that projects that start or resume during campaigns don't get completed. In addition to that, the 21 kilometres township road has been abandoned, the machinery was taken back to Lusaka," he said. He added that the road which leads to the district hospital was another death trap and wondered when it would be repaired. Mr Mutinta said residents were wondering why the local authority through

the influence of UPND area Member of Parliament, Herbert Shabula, procured a faulty grader. "There is a grader which was procured using Constituency Development Fund (CDF) but that grader has never worked anywhere and it is now clocking a year in its brand new state. “So we are seeking answers as community members because the entire CDF went to one investment and left many projects stalled," he said.

Steroids can help the sickest patients, studies show I NTERNATIONAL clinical trials confirm the hope that the cheap, widely available drugs can help seriously ill patients survive. The World Health Organization is expected to release new guidelines encouraging their use. International clinical trials published on Wednesday confirmed the hope that cheap, widely available steroid drugs can help seriously ill patients survive Covid-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus. Following release of the new data, the World Health Organization on Wednesday strongly recommended

steroids for treatment of patients with severe or critical Covid-19 worldwide. But the agency recommended against giving the drugs to patients with mild disease. The new studies include an analysis that pooled data from seven randomized clinical trials evaluating three steroids in over 1,700 patients. The study concluded that each of the three drugs reduced the risk of death. That paper and three related studies were published in the journal JAMA, along with an editorial describing the research as an “important step forward in the treatment of patients with Covid-19.”

PATRIOTIC Front (PF) youths in Shungu ward in Livingstone have raised concerns with the way the constituency leadership is conducting itself towards aspiring parliamentary candidates.

A fractured UPND/NDC alliance not ready to govern Dear Editor, WHAT the future holds on the so-called UPND/NDC opposition alliance is certainly becoming more certain than ever. Like we predicted, the alleged alliance has never been formed out of principle or common ground save for the chronic hatred against President Edgar Lungu by the front runners. In an audio that has gone viral, National Democratic Congress leader Chishimba Kambwili is heard out angrily admonishing members of one supposed NDC WhatsApp blog in which he confirmed that the negotiations on the alliance are ongoing. He is heard as having warned erring members of unknown consequences. Recently, Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) president Charles Milupi, who happens to be the chairman of the Opposition Alliance could not confirm whether there were any negotiations save for what he termed as the “pact under his chairmanship.” We wonder why Mr Kambwili and Mr Milupi could be at cross purpose on the matters that are of grave importance both to the alliance and the nation. How could Mr Kambwili on one hand be disputing the

existence of the alliance on one hand and Mr Milupi fragrantly dispute save for the pact whose objectives he could not enlighten what is the principle objective of what he opted to call as the pact? As regards Mr Kambwili’s claims that negotiations were still ongoing, it is a clear revelation that the so-called UPND dominated alliance has never been based on consensus. It has taken UPND and NDC two years of protracted negotiations yet they have not reached consensus on what would be the basis of the alliance. We wonder how the alliance could take this lengthy stretch of time without a broad consensus basis on what they would do for the people of Zambia. What would happen in an event such an inherent disoriented association was entrusted with state power? Will they re-initiate the so-called negotiations while they are in the corridors of power? The lack of consensus on the alleged alliance after more than two years of being together resoundingly reveal that the alliance is not ready to govern. If they could not agree on the terms of engagements at the initial stage, it is an eye opener that an alliance that is based on seizing state power as opposed to service to the Zambian people is not the viable alternative. It is therefore politically suicide to trust a group of individuals who are undecided on the basis upon which they seek to be given state power. This is the fractured alliance that has struggled to build consensus since its inception. MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Lusaka.

ABOUT ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY Government has moved Dear Editor,

ONE had a chat with the minister of Finance over the value of the Zambian kwacha and what he told me about the dynamics of the Kwacha was what I have been thinking of for the past 10 years! When you look at the Zambian Kwacha vs other currencies, we have purely lived at the mercy of copper and cobalt plus depending on what trend the dollar will take on the global forex market. The issue of the Kwacha has nothing to do with what interest rates the Bank of Zambia (BoZ) will fix or how active it will be with open market operations because these are short term measures. The Kwacha depends on us producing dollars for the economy! It is us as citizens and companies to generate the foreign exchange. The structure of Zambia’s economy is what we need to fix because it’s not sustainable for overall economic development and also maintaining strong economic fundamentals. Let’s look at the mining industry. Copper and cobalt mining is in foreign control meaning forex flies out. The serious commercial farmers that grow for export are also volatile as they keep their proceeds abroad. When you look at the tourism industry, the largest tour operators are based abroad. When tourists pay money to our tour operators abroad, the money remains abroad. The little money that comes

here is the money tourists will spend. How much can you spend at Victoria Falls or in the game park when your tour package says all inclusive? Then when you look at our retail and wholesale business, it’s dominated by foreigners or Zambians of foreign origin who bank their cash outside the country! The construction industry has the same story! Now let’s look at these issues: - Everytime you sit in a mini bus, taxi, or your own vehicle which uses fuel, you demand forex! - Everytime you drink mineral water you demand forex because the plastic is imported - Everytime you eat nsima, vegetables even meat you demand forex because fertiliser, agriculture chemicals and animal food supplements are imported - Everytime I see you in shorts, suits, T shits or any clothes you demand forex because all your clothes are imported. - When you are driving on the road, you demand forex because bitumen is imported and also the majorily of road funding is foreign debt. - Everytime you are in a hospital and ask for paracetamol, you demand forex because it is imported - Everytime we take insulin, ARVs, Fansida we demand forex - When you see ladies in Brazilian hair, that’s forex on their heads. - Almost everything we do in Zambia demands forex The forex problem grows as household income grows because we demand more goods. As government puts up infrastructure, the forex problem also escalates. Now Zambia is a market

economy. Meaning production is not Government’s baby but the baby of its citizens who in turn pay tax. Once in a while, you call upon the government to participate in certain businesses if they are mining related or they produce a good that is important for livelihoods of citizens like the energy sector. Now the job of making toothpicks is not Government’s. I hear people condemning Zambia for not being able to produce tooth picks. Some of those people that condemn are even driving vehicles worth $10, 000 but tooth pick making machinery costs as low as $3, 000! For us to arrest the issue of forex, we need to declare war on poverty as citizens! We need a radical approach and not textbook solutions! We need to produce for both local consumption and export! China has really made it possible for developing countries to produce for themselves because in China, you can buy cheap production machinery! Our engineers should be busy copying such machinery and producing such machinery in Zambia then wel shall proudly add “engineer”at the beginning of their names! In Zambia, everything now is blamed on Government. A child impregnates another child ati government is not teaching morals! What utter nonsense! I agree that we have economic and administrative barriers that still make doing business in Zambia difficult. We need to work on these now! But in Zambia we concentrate on politics rather than on actual economic topics!

Without doing an audit of the structure of the Zambian economy and fixing it, we shall still be laughing at Government for not making toothpicks forgetting toothpick making is our responsibility!! I also hear people that laugh at the government for not exporting goats to Saudi Arabia!! Colleagues, the agreement to supply has been signed and it’s up to us citizens to form aggregators that will buy bulk from farmers then export to Saudi Arabia! Government does not own goats! It’s us citizens with goats! But I know, we are waiting for a white person to open another Goat version of Zambeef to export on our behalf. What will be interesting is that they will raise that money within Zambia whilst we are attending political rallies or yapping on Whatsapp!!! We need to do a self-assessment! Blame ourselves for our failures because a country is a collection of individuals! We ask ourselves why our politics are not issue-based when 80 percent of the population does not understand issues! Until they are educated, these people will dictate how our politics will be. They demand chitenges, t-shirts and money! They are in the majority so no matter what we do, they dictate to our politicians the name of the game! To eradicate this, education for all! It’s the same with economics! For business to thrive, we need education! Sustainability of economic freedom is going to rely on education! DR LUBINDA HABAAZOKA.

in to cut price hikes

Dear Editor, THERE has been an increase in the price of some goods such as cooking oil, flour, cement and other goods in the recent past. The price hikes has been due to among other things, the Covid-19 pandemic, the fluctuations in the exchange rate and inflationary shocks. It is important to note that: 1. Zambia is an import-based economy. We import most of the things we use. So the price of commodities at the international market has a direct impact on the price of consumer goods here at home. 2. The Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the entire global production and supply chains. A lot of companies have been forced to shut down or reduce their production capacities, creating a shortage of supplies thereby leading to hikes in prices. The world-wide lockdowns have also disrupted supply chains, causing shortages of essential goods which automatically has resulted into price hikes. 3. The adverse effects of climate change; the electricity shortages coupled with debt repayments and commodity prices such as fuel on the international market have all contributed to the fluctuation of the Kwacha against the major convertible currencies. This has put pressure on our currency and has increased inflation. As a responsive and caring Government, President Edgar Lungu and his Government have come up with a comprehensive Economic Recovery Plan to tackle among other things the price of commodities. Government has reaffirmed its commitment towards curbing further hiking of prices of goods and services; 1. Government has scrapped VAT on fuel to stabilise the price of fuel which is one of the key drivers of prices of goods and services. 2. Load shedding is coming to an end owing to the massive investments Government has pumped in the Energy Sub-Sector. Electricity like fuel is also another key driver of prices of goods and services. 3. Government has engaged the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) to ascertain whether there is collusion and dominance among market players. 4. Government will soon amend the Bank of Zambia Act to halt the quoting of prices for goods and services in foreign currencies. 5. Government has among other things scrapped off the import duty of products to strike a balance in the market supply chain. Let us remain resilient; we shall overcome all these temporary setbacks. Thank you. ANTONIO MOURINHO MWANZA.

STATE AIDS DISPLACED FAMILIES

By ROGERS KALERO

OVERNMENT has given out cement and roofing sheets to 208 families in Kandabwe Township in Kitwe whose houses = collapsed during heavy rains last month The affected families were given 600 pockets of cement and 700 roofing sheets under the 'build back better ' project

THE Mufulira Municipal Council (MMC) has extended the grace period for the renewal of trading licences and other certificates as a Covid-19 relief offer to the business sector. MMC Assistant Public Relations Manager, Thandiwe Tembo, said the local authority appreciated the financial

of the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU). Nkana Member of Parliament Alexander Chiteme handed over the pockets of cement and roofing sheets and urged the affected families not to sell the materials but build better structures. Mr Chiteme said Government had fulfilled the promise of providing the roofing sheets and cement to the

affected families “I must stress that you should not sell these materials. Make sure you secure these materials and start to build your structures. People must not mislead you in any way because we care as Government," Mr Chiteme said. At the same function, Kitwe District Commissioner, Chileshe Bweupe, said the fact that Government had fulfilled its promise of supporting the

Mr Bweupe said Government will always act appropriately to deal with various challenges and disasters which people may face in various parts of the country "While others are criticising Government without providing solutions, President Edgar Lungu always strives to alleviate the suffering of the people," Mr Bweupe said.

THE Small Scale Miners Association of Zambia has advised large scale mining players to take advantage of the attractive prices of copper on the international market by increasing production. Speaking in an interview the association’s president, Mr Kunda Chani said the current price of the copper on the international market is the highest since May 2012. Mr. Kunda said the spring of electric vehicles has contributed to the adjustment of copper prices, hence the need for giant copper producing firms to increase production in order for them

Mufulira business sector wins reprieve challenges the business sector had suffered due to the Covid-19 outbreak, hence the decision to extend to the licence renewal to the end of this month. Ms Tembo said the renewal

of trading licences and certificates was initially supposed to close on December 31 last year, but the council extended it to 31st January 2021. “Mufulira has not been spared from the negative

financial effects of Covid-19 on the business community and this is our way of lending the businesses a helping hand by giving them more time," she said. She urged the business

to benefit from rising copper prices. He added that it is surprising that as the demand for the commodity is going up, copper production has remained low. Mr. Kunda has since appealed to members to focus on copper production stating that the current copper prices on the market are attractive. “We are excited to see that copper prices have kept increasing on the international market. This should give our giant copper producing companies the impetus to increase production so that we benefit as a country,” he said.Mr. Kunda said key mining players should actively increase their production, urging his members to also participate in the production of copper ore. - ZANIS

requirements such as levies negatively affected the council’s revenue base, which resulted in poor service delivery. “All the services that the council provides require money, so we need to collect enough to be effective," Ms Tembo said. - ZANIS

Road Safety With Fredrick Mubanga

ZAMBIA’S ROAD SAFETY OUTLOOK BRIGHT: TO ACHIEVE

Moving towards reducing traffic accidents by 50pc by 2030

ZAMBIA Interventions in Zambia are concerned with road improvement, speed control, legislation and an increase in traffic law enforcement. More attention should be paid to the needs of the pedestrians, pedal cyclists and motorcyclists who make the majority of the road traffic fatalities in Zambia

ther, the number of road traffic deaths reduced from 1, 746 in 2019 to 1, 690 in 2020 representing a 3.2 percent decrease. The statistics show that progress is being made in the fight against road carnage.

There is however still need for more concerted efforts among stakeholders in the fight if this progress is to be sustained. For the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011–2020, developed by World Health Organ-

attended the 3rd Global Ministerial Conference on Road Safety in Stockholm, Sweden to discuss the global road safety agenda leading up to 2030. The overall goal is to reduce

OAD Traffic Injuries (RTIs) are the eighth cause of death in the world and an estimated 1.35 million people die every year on the world’s roads. The highest number of deaths occurs on the African continent, i.e. a rate of 26.6 deaths per 100, 000 inhabitants. A recent study found that the rate could be closer to 65 deaths per 100, 000 inhabitants. Economically, the average annual socio-economic cost of road traffic crashes represents three percent of Gross National Product (GNP) in low-income countries. For Zambia, the road traffic accidents and fatalities trends from 2012 to 2020, indicates that the number of fatalities per 100, 000 populations has shown a steady decline from 17 fatalities per 100, 000 population recorded in 2012 to nine fatalities per 100, 000 population recorded in 2020. The country has continued to record a decline in the number of road traffic crashes and deaths from 2015 to 2020. In 2020, Zambia recorded 28, 484 road traffic accidents as compared to 30, 648 representing a reduction of 7.1 percent. Fur-

To achieve more with less, the RTSA intends to adopt SMART enforcement and leverage on technology to increase its coverage throughout the country.

Number of fatalities from 2011 to 2020 isation (WHO) and the World Bank, provided an overall framework for road safety activities, WHO’s aspiration was to reducing road accidents by 50 percent. Zambia made significant progress in stabilising the road traffic accident situation in the country. While the country has continued to record reduction in crashes and fatalities, the numbers are still unacceptably high and does not come close to the targets for UN global decade of action whose objectives were to reduce road traffic fatalities by 50 percent by 2020. Beyond 2020 The problem of traffic accidents did not decrease as we expected over the years,” said Claes Tingvall, chairman of the target development expert team at the conference held last year in Sweden on World Road Safety UN Targets. It appears as an important point.” Last year in February, over 100 United Nations member countries including Zambia

the number of deaths and serious injuries caused by traffic accidents by 50 percent over the next ten years, and calls to reach this goal by 2030. Transport and Communications Minister Mutotwe Kafwaya represented Zambia at the

sustainable development goals included a powerful ambition in their 3.6 target: to reduce the number of road traffic deaths and injuries by 50 percent by 2020. Furthermore, Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) 3.6

(number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents) and 11.2 (improving road safety) have one of the most “indivisible” interactions among all the SDGs according to a recent report of experts. To reach this 3.6 target, and looking beyond interventions on infrastructures, the effectiveness of which is understood, interventions must be conducted in the fields of awareness-raising, provision of rescue services and also public policies and regulations

which contribute to the reduction in accidents and their impact on health. Interventions in Zambia are concerned with road improvement, speed control, legislation and an increase in traffic law enforcement. More attention should be paid to the needs of the pedestrians, pedal cyclists and motorcyclists who make the majority of the road traffic fatalities in Zambia To achieve more with less, the RTSA intends to adopt SMART enforcement and leverage on technology to increase its coverage throughout the country. Collaboration with stakeholders is also key in delivering the mandate of road safety education and advocating for remedial engineering and maintenance on roads. A proactive rather than a reactive approach will be spearheaded on Traffic Management in cooperation with Zambia Police and all road safety stakeholders including drivers, motor vehicle owners, pedestrians, cyclists and motor cyclists. * The author is Head Public Relations Road Transport and Safety Agency fmubanga@rtsa.org.zm Website: www.rtsa.org.zm

Somali capital gunfire amid election protests

MOGADISHU - Heavy gunfire broke out in Somalia’s capital yesterday as opposition leaders defied a ban on public gatherings to protest about delayed elections. The president’s term expired last week, without the selection of a successor, throwing Somalia into a crisis. Overnight, the government said militiamen attacked army positions in Mogadishu, close to the presidential palace. Most roads in the city have been closed and special forces deployed. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed, also known as “Farmajo,” is expected to hold a meeting with Somalia’s five regional presidents as part of efforts to end the deadlock. The UN has said it is

“deeply concerned” by the clashes in Somalia between the opposition and security forces. It has called for “calm and restraint by all parties involved” and urged for dialogue. In Algeria, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Thursday announced the dissolution of the lower house of parliament and called early legislative elections. “I decided to dissolve the assembly and call elections to build a new institution,” he said, without giving a date for the elections. The current lawmakers of the lower house had been elected for five years in May 2017, with Bouteflika’s allies having an overwhelming majority. Tebboune said the dissolution decision was part of reforms after amendments to the constitution in November last year aimed at giving parliament more powers. – BBC/REUTERS.

COVID STRATEGY …Magufuli calls for fasting to overcome Covid-19

AR ES SALAAM Tanzania’s President John Magufuli has termed the Covid-19 pandemic as a “test from God” and called for three days of prayers and fasting to overcome it. He said we won against the virus last year and we will against it this year. President Magufuli made the comments yesterday at the funeral of his chief secretary, John Kijazi, who died of

an undisclosed illness while undergoing treatment. The government spokesperson tweeted the president’s comments: “It is possible this is another test but with God we will win. Let’s not scare each other because we will not overcome. It’s possible we have offended God or we’re being tested and I’m urging that we stand by God.” For months the government has insisted the Covid-19 pandemic was

under control and encouraged the use of herbal remedies. The Vice-President of Tanzania’s semi-autonomous islands of Zanzibar, Seif Sharif Hamad, died on Wednesday - nearly three weeks after his party said he had contracted Covid-19. He was the most prominent political figure in Tanzania to have openly declared that he had Covid-19. The government has not published data on coronavirus for months. – BBC.

R126m worth of ivermectin seized at OR Tambo in biggest medicines bust of the year JOHANNESBURG - Police have seized medicines worth R126 million at OR Tambo International Airport. The medication, identified as ivermectin, was imported for the treatment of Covid-19, according to initial investigations. The bust is the largest one involving the alleged illegal importation of medicines since the beginning of the year, said police spokesperson Colonel Athlenda Mathe. Mathe described it as a “major breakthrough in clamping down the illegal importation of unregistered medicines.” “The discovery of the tablets was made earlier this week by authorities during an inspection of a cargo container that was destined to South Africa from India. Upon a compliance verification of the unregistered medicines by the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (Sahpra), authorities found that the company that had imported the medicines into the country, had done so without the necessary

written approval and authorisation from the regulatory authority,” said Mathe. No arrests have been made, but the police are working with Interpol and authorities from India to establish the delivery address of the consignment.Preliminary investigations revealed that the unregistered medicines had been imported for sale purposes and would have been used to treat Covid-19, said

AU to set up infrastructure fund for continent NAIROBI - The African Union is setting up a fund to finance the construction of much-needed roads, railways and power plants on the continent, its infrastructure head said, turning to new sources of cash due to donor fatigue and higher debt levels. Africa has an estimated annual infrastructure financing deficit of $60 billion-$90 billion, the AU says, making it hard for the body to advance its goal of integrating

the disparate individual markets into a single, free trade area. “Africa is financially starved as far as the need for infrastructure development is concerned,” Raila Odinga, who is the AU’s high representative for infrastructure, said in an interview. The 55-nation AU is now turning to sovereign wealth funds, insurance and retirement funds in countries like South Africa, Angola, Nigeria Morocco, Egypt and Kenya,

Mathe. “The South African Police Service therefore draws the attention of pharmaceutical companies, including health experts to Section 22(c) of the Medicines Act which clearly states that anyone who wishes to import medicines into the country must have written authority from Sahpra. It should be further noted that those who do not comply with the act will be apprehended and to raise the cash. The funds will be invited to invest about five percent of their holdings, Odinga said, “which is actually going to be more lucrative for those institutions, rather than having funds lie idle.” Talks with the funds are going on and the AU’s experts are setting up the legal and financial structure for the infrastructure fund, which will be administered by the newly formed African Union Development Agency, Odinga said. The move bucks the past trend of dependence on wealthy donor nations and borrowing from financial markets. China, which has been one of the biggest funders of

All seven accused are out on bail. – NEWS24. infrastructure projects on the continent over the past decade, has cut back on lending due to high debt levels among individual nations like Kenya. “We are now trying to think out of the box,” Odinga said. The drive to find new ways of funding the construction of roads and railways and other utilities comes as Africa seeks to bring together 1.3 billion people in a $3.4 trillion economic bloc known as the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). “This infrastructure is urgent for the realisation of the AfCFTA, otherwise it is just going to remain on paper,” Odinga said. – REUTERS.

Firstly, it is important to note that the situation is not irredeemable; it can be salvaged. Several permutations can be looked at to create a win-win situation for all – retirees, the government, unemployed youths and the nation at large! How can this be achieved? First and foremost, the government should see paying off retirees from the perspective of killing several birds with a stone, and as a major stimulus package for the retirees to turn their benefits into investible capital to play a pivotal role in reviving the Covid-19-ravaged economy quickly. There are three possible sources to finance the retirement packages: From within the national By NATION REPORTER

These provinces will likely vote on the basis of the prevailing economic situation. With Copper prices breaching the psychological US$8, 000 mark, with the state opting to increase its stake in Glencore’s Mopani Copper Mines, with energy shortages being almost wiped out by August 2021 given the commissioning of the 750-meg-

Several years ago, Tanzania owed its workers in public institutions colossal sums of money. The Tanzanian government of President Josiah Kikwete borrowed US$100 million from the World Bank and paid off all its workers in public learning institutions. Zambia can do the same. There are several benefits

that Zambia can accrue from clearing retirees on the public service payroll: It will save resources – from paying two people for one job to paying only one person for that job; The freed resources can be used to employ fresh graduates from colleges and universities without injecting fresh funds into the payroll; thus reducing the current high unemployment among Zambian youths currently roaming the streets; Thousands of jobs will also be created as many retirees will invest their retirement benefits in start-ups, some will boost their existing businesses while others

coach Mohamed Fathi who lost his father on Wednesday, said she was confident they would repeat their superb play in Kenya where they beat Gor Mahia 1-0 as they aim to reach the Confederations Cup group stages. She believes Napsa Stars will continue to produce stars who will go on to make an impact like the great football icon Kalusha Bwalya. Meanwhile, Wina has urged 2012 AFCON winner Emmanuel Mayuka who made Zambia proud at the 2012 AFCON in Gabon with a golden boot award to

keep working hard to help Napsa succeed. “I remember Emmanuel Mayuka in 2012 when he was part of the national team. Emmanuel Keep it up, you made Zambia proud when you exhibited your prowess on the pitch at the Africa Cup. “We want to see the reincarnation of the new and dynamic Kalusha Bwalyas’ and I know Napsa Stars will aim to produce such stars,” Wina said. And Napsa Director General Yollad Kachinda hailed the vice president for her contribution to

the development of sports. Kachinda said the authority’s support to the club has enabled the team to perform successfully in their maiden continental football appearance. He said the team’s good performance has exposed the players at international level and allowed Zambia to maintain the four slots in CAF club competitions. NAPSA Stars host the Kenyans tomorrow needing a draw to progress to the group stage of the competition having won 1-0 in the first leg played last Sunday in Nairobi.

ZANACO FACE INDENI HURDLE

…in chase for super division title By MICHAEL MIYOBA

ENSATIONAL Zanaco FC’s quest to cement their position as one of the favourites to bank the 2020/2021 Super Division title begins today when they take on Indeni in a week -18 tie at Indeni Sports Complex in Ndola. The Bankers will fight to reclaim top spot on the 18-team Super Division table after they were relegated to second position by new leaders Zesco United who defeated Power Dynamos 2-1 in a midweek fixture on Wednesday to open a two-point lead at the summit of the table. A win over Indeni who suffered a 2-0 loss when they

visited Sunset Stadium in Lusaka on match day one, will propel Zanaco to 32 points. However despite having been the most consistent side with three wins and two draws from the last five matches, Zanaco will have to put up a determined fight to emulate Lusaka Dynamos and Buildcon, the only two teams which have beaten Indeni at home. And despite Indeni being a competitive side in the Super Division, the game against Zanaco presents a tough test for the “Oil Men” whose last win was on December 9 when they humbled Nkana 2-0. Meanwhile, in the first match of the double header at Nkoloma Stadium, Nkwazi will aim to get a consecutive

win when they host Lumwana Radiants after beating Forest Rangers 1-0 in their last league game. Red Arrows face a rejuvenated Green Buffaloes side that has managed to pick up eight points from a possible 15 points from the last five games. The derby which is the second fixture of the double header at Nkoloma Stadium promises a lot of thrills as both teams will seek wins to move into the top 10 bracket on the table. Both Arrows and Buffaloes are 12th and 13th with 20 and 18 points respectively. At President Stadium in Kabwe, Prison Leopards will fight for their first win in five games with the last four games having ended in draws

and one defeat to Zanaco. Green Eagles are at Independence Stadium in Choma where they host Kabwe Warriors who will be seeking revenge after they lost the match day one fixture 1-0 at home in Kabwe. The matches involving Zesco United and Forest Rangers who were scheduled to face NAPSA Stars and Nkana have been postponed because Nkana and Napsa are involved in CAF Confederations Cup competition. Tomorrow’s league action will see Young Green Eagles playing Power Dynamos in an early kick off at Nkoloma Stadium, the same venue which will host the crunch tie involving Lusaka Dynamos and Buildcon.

NAOMI Osaka says a belief "people don't remember the runners-up" will fuel her bid for a fourth major title when she faces American Jennifer Brady in today's Australian Open final. The 23-year-old Japanese player has won three Grand Slam titles and never lost a major final. Brady, seeded 22th, is in her first Slam final and looking to avenge defeat by Osaka in the US Open semi-finals. "The winner's name is the one that's engraved," said third seed Osaka. Osaka, whose major wins have come at the 2018 US Open, 2019 Australian Open and 2020 US Open, goes into the match as the heavy favourite against 25-year-old Brady. It is a rematch of their high-quality semi-final in New York, which was widely considered as the best WTA match of 2020. Meanwhile, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev lived up to Novak Djokovic’s praise as the “man to beat” at the Australian Open when he charged into his first Melbourne Park final with an impressive 6-4 6-2 7-5 win over Stefanos Tsitsipas yesterday. – BBC/REUTERS.

Pirates aim to avoid consecutive defeat By MICHAEL MIYOBA

LIVINGSTONE Pirates will be desperate to avoid a consecutive defeat when they face Monze George in today’s Week 14 Premier Futsal League PFL game at Automotive Futsal Arena. Pirates who were humiliated with a 6-1 thrashing by defending champions Automotive FC will search for a win to redeem themselves to move to 21 points. Today’s game also presents Pirates the chance to avenge their 6-0 defeat suffered against Monze George during round five of the PFL matches. Pirates are currently sixth on the league table with 18 points from six wins and seven defeats and a win over Monze George will redeem their hopes of finishing the PFL in the top four. Meanwhile, Automotive FC will aim to complete a double over Kitwe Bullets when the two teams clash at Automotive Futsal Arena. Automotive are also seeking to maintain their unbeaten run while Kitwe Bullets will want to revenge the 3-2 defeat

suffered when they last met during a PFL Week-5 match. Automotive dominate the PFL chart with 39 points, three points ahead of Kabwe K-Line who are second with 33 points and will be facing struggling Chipata Boys. It is another test for Chipata Boys who were walloped 6-1 by Siavonga Beetles who are set to take on relegation-bound Kafue Saints. Beetles are the favourites going into today’s tie against Saints who “boast” of having only one win while the rest of the 12 matches have ended in defeats. CSS Petauke are guaranteed free three points with a 6-0 score line over DS Academy whose failure to fulfil league games cost them a spot in the PFL league. In the PFL Division One League, league leaders Zanaco host Lilanda Bullets while Veterans are scheduled to face Bil FC as second-placed Pioneer Avengers meet Tamanga Juldan. BS Stars have an easy fixture against Mthunzi FC. Christian Academy host Blue Bombers while Efford Chabala are set to pick a walk-over at the expense of DS Academy.
