AS COVID CASES SPIKE, PROF. MULENGA WARNS POLITICIANS AGAINST CROWDS From Page 1

Prof Mulenga is however optimistic that the various interventions being done by the government will reduce chances of Zambia having the Indian variant dominating cases.

He said if Zambia was to have 20 percent of its population affected by the Indian variant; it may not be able to cope, especially if the majority need admissions.

"If we are affected to levels as high as 20 percent of the population then we can

be overwhelmed," Prof Mulenga said.

He however said Zambia is ready to manage cases and measures to contain the pandemic are working.

And Prof Mulenga is confident that with adequate stock piling and proper management, Zambia can mitigate the adverse events resulting from limited supply of oxygen in case of a third wave.

He said two plants for oxygen are already being planned for the Copperbelt while Lusaka is managing,

and Kasama is relying on a plant based in Mansa.

"For Lusaka we have now put another strategy in terms of preparation. We have added the Lusaka Specialist Hospital as another centre should we have a third wave.

This is besides the Maina Soko, UTH and Levy. The reason is so that we have centres concentrated where we can easily access oxygen in case of extreme cases," Prof Mulenga said.

He hinted that Zambia is already recording increased severe admissions over the

The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) validated the nomination of Mr Hichilema and his running mate, Ms Nalumango.

ECZ Chairperson, Justice Esau Chulu informed the duo that the Commission had scrutinised their nomination documents and that they were valid.

And speaking after successfully filing in their nomination, Mr. Hichilema said the UPND alliance had a pool of talented leaders to manage the affairs of the country.

"With the pool of talents that this alli-

ance holds, it is the best from which to draw the leadership to manage, and reconstruct our nation, rebuild the economy and the social fabric that has been destroyed," he said.

Mr. Hichilema ap-

He thanked the alliance members for unanimously adopting the running mate for the party.

MULTI-MILLION FUEL DEAL SEALED TWO Zambian companies have signed a Joint Venture Cooperation with Africa Star Holdings, a Zimbabwean company to supply 20 million litters of fuel from Russia every week.

The two Zambian companies are Midlands Zam-Mal Oils which will be marketing and supplying the petroleum products and Pivotech which will be handling the logistics.

Pivotech Chief Executive Officer Chiti Chola said the cooperation would lead to the creation of over 2-hundred jobs for the youths.

He said his company would engage the youths who were recently empowered with fuel tankers by government to uplift between 50 to 70 percent of finished petrol and diesel coming

from Russia through Beira.

Speaking during the signing of the agreement in Lusaka yesterday, Mr. Chiti said the joint venture had been necessitated by the prevailing conducive business environment in the country And Midlands Zam-Mal Limited Chief Executive Officer Charles Mvula said the agreement takes effect immediately and fuel products would in the next few weeks start flowing into the country.

And Africa Star Holdings Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Wunganayi said his company has agreements with Russian Refineries which are the second largest Oil Refineries in the world and will provide fuel at very low competitive rates. - ZNBC

UPND alliance Chairperson, Charles Milupi said that the alliance was ready to go across the country to preach a message of hope adding that the alliance was solidly united adding that

nothing will divide it.

Mr. Milupi said that the decision to choose Ms. Nalumango as running mate was unanimously agreed upon.

Former alliance partner, Chishimba Kambwili however said the Alliance was a sham because all the top leaders came from one political party.

Mr Kambwili said the alliance was not genuine because all the partners were too ambitious and only pretending to support Ms Nalumango.

He said Ms Hichilema had ‘duped’ the other partners.

“There is no way that can be an alliance of leaders when the president is UPND, running mate UPND including most of the MPS,” said Mr Kambwili.

Supreme Court rules out time bar in fraudulent acquisition of land

By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA

AFTER 33 years of litigation, Supreme Court has ruled that a matter involving fraud and misrepresentation cannot be statute or time barred.

The courts rule is that fraud unravels all…once fraud is proved, ‘it vitiates judgements, contracts and all transactions.

This is in a matter where Lusaka farmer Jonathan Van Blerk appealed against the Lusaka High Court’s decision to dismiss the case where he sued the State and five others for compulsory acquisition of a portion of f Baobab land which covers an extent of 557.8759 hectares which he used for agricultural purposes.

The Court has therefore set aside judgements passed in the matter. The matter has been through several high Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court actions where it was dismissed.

The Supreme Court ruled that numerous authorities show that judgement obtained by fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation can be set aside and that res judicata in such instances is not a defense and that the action was not time barred based on the documentary evidence. Arguments on these fairly straight forward legal issues expend unnecessary time, costs and energy.

“For the reasons we have given above, we allow the appeal and order that the matter should be remitted to the High Court where it will take its normal course. We however, express the hope that the High Court judge who will be allocated this matter will deal with it expeditiously. Costs to abide the outcome in the court of below,” the court adjudicated.

The Court has ordered that the matter be heard and determined in the High Court expeditiously

Mr Van Blerk had appealed against the ruling of Justice G.S Phiri who dismissed the case with the view that the compulsorily acquisition had been undertaken by the State for legitimate public purpose.

He however argued that that the State deviated from its intended purpose and leased the land to private entities for other uses.

He appealed to the Supreme Court who upheld the judgement.

He cited the Attorney General, Lusaka City Council (KCC) and Legacy Holdings limited as first, second and third respondents.

Kwikbuild Construction limited , Bantu Capital Corporation limited and National Pension Scheme Authority (NAPSA) are fourth, fifth and sixth respondents in the matter.

In April,1987, pursuant to section 3 of the Lands Acquisition Act 1970, chapter 199,volume 12 of the Laws of Zambia, the State compulsorily acquired a portion of his land in extent of 351.2142 hectares to use it for a public purpose , namely construction of a housing complex on part of the land to alleviate a housing shortage in Lusaka, while part of it was to be demarcated and allocated to public service workers who need residential plots The Supreme court in a judgement delivered by Justice Albert Wood on behalf of other two judges Dr Mumba Malila and Ms Jane Kabukaon May 17, 2021 said they were not in agreement with the respondents arguments that the matter was statute barred as it started back in 1987 and that the action to set aside judgement was only commenced in 2017. “ We do not accept that the claim is time barred. We say so because time should be reckoned from which the appellant became aware that the land had been leased to third parties,” said the court.

‘State’s fuel single sourcing a high risk’

By AARON CHIYANZO

SINGLE sourcing of multinational oil marketing companies for fuel procurement contracts by the State risks plunging the country into a deeper economic crisis because stable supply is not guaranteed, the Oil Marketing Companies Association of Zambia (OMCAZ) has warned.

OMCAZ president Kafula Mubanga said Government should secure 50 percent of oil procurement contracts for local oil marketing companies to ensure stable supply of fuel in the country without unnecessary disruptions.

This follows the ongoing shortage of diesel in Lusaka

and other towns owing to the disruption of supply as some oil marketing companies have stopped importing oil.

Importation costs have become unbearable because of the increase in international prices of oil when the pump price in Zambia has remained the same.

Dr Mubanga explained that local oil marketing companies procure the oil for supply on the Zambian market using their own resources while multinational companies were single sourced for government contracts.

He said with a government contract, multinational companies were able to buy larger oil consignments cheaply from the producers whereas

local OMCs only buy from some multinational firms that supply from ports.

Dr Mubanga said multinationals use bank guarantees to acquire the oil from producers who were later paid by the government and only spend on transportation.

He however said multinationals were not reliable because they sometimes deliver the fuel late as Government does not monitor the delivery processes.

“Multinationals are unpatriotic because all they care about is profit. Sometimes they will sell the consignment earmarked for Zambia at Beira Port in Mozambique when there is demand because prices increase as is the case

now. They then quickly make another order for Zambia after making a profit with first one and it takes about eight weeks to reach the port,” he said.

Dr Mubanga said if local OMCs were given 50 percent of procurements as government intended in the 7th National Development Plan, supply would be stable as “treacherous” practices would come to a stop.

He said local OMCs were the ones who maintain supply of fuel in the country as large quantities of supply by the multinationals were being awaited.

“That is why there are shortages when local OMCs stop importing,” Dr Mubanga

PF gains 4 wards unopposed

By NATION REPORTER FOUR PF councillors have reportedly gone unopposed and therefore won the election even without being voted for.

In Kabenshe Ward of Pambeshe, PF councilor Francis Chungu was declared the winner after the UPND candidate failed to show up and the same happened in Chasefu’s Kajilime Ward in Eastern province.

Ernest Chibwaya of Mwense ward in Mwense Constituency of Luapula and Vincent Maseka of Kalengwa ward in Mufumbwe have retained their seats.

Returning officer for Kalengwa Ward, Wiza Melele declared Mr Maseka councillor for the ward and said that no polls would be held for that position.

“I Wiza Melele being the returning officer for Kalengwa Ward, declare that during the appointed period in which nominations may be lodged with me, I have received a valid nomination paper in respect of only one candidate for the election of a coucillor for Kalengwa Ward.

I therefore declare that Vincent Maseka is returned unopposed as a councillor for Kalengwa Ward with effect from the 12th of August and that no polls will be taken in this ward,” he said.

M’membe, Hamududu and Kalaba file in nominations ASPIRING Presidential candidate for the Party of National Unity and Progress (PNUP) Highvie Hamududu says he will champion politics of right policies that will make Zambia become a better country once he is elected President.

Mr Hamududu says his party will do its best to implement the right policies, to rule the country for the better.

The PNUP leader stated that they believe in the free market economic policies which were key to the country’s sustainable development.

According to ZANIS, Mr Hamududu said this yesterday at Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka after he and his running mate Kasote Singogo filed in their nominations ahead of the August 12 general elections.

“Zambia from independence is so blessed. It had the second best human development indices in Africa. If we put the right policies now the future of this country can be better,” Mr Hamududu said.

He said, “The general ideology of this party is very clear for all. We promise one of the best manifestos ever.”

And Mr Hamududu has observed that political parties can not completely do

away with physical meetings during campaigns.

He has therefore suggested that the idea of discouraging physical rallies can be revisited.

“We all understand the Covid situation as political stakeholders, so we should agree on how we can conduct campaigns. We can mask up, we can reduce the number of people at the rally and we can social distance,” he said.

Meanwhile, Socialist Party aspiring Presidential candidate Fred M’membe and his running mate Cosmas Musumali have also lodged in their nominations before Electoral Commission of Zambia Chairperson Esau Chulu.

Addressing the media after being validly nominated for the election, Dr. M’membe said his party is for the poor people, adding that it has enabled poor people to contest various positions at all levels of elections.

“Rich people have political parties and they rule the poor people but this year the poor people have their own party and they will vote for themselves,” Dr M’membe said.

And NAREP’s Steven Nyirenda and Democratic Party Candidate Harry Kalaba have also successfully filed in their nomination.

Meanwhile, Mr Mutwale said this follows Chile, the world’s largest producer of copper putting in place a new copper regime by approving a mining royalty bill that could see sales of copper taxed at a rate of more than 32%.

Mr Mutwale said Zambia needs to take a strong approach to get a higher tax regime in a coordinated manner.

He said there was need for Zambia to charge a higher tax regime for mines in order to keep between 50 to 60 per cent of copper profits within the country to benefit more.

NO TO HOOLIGANISM

POLICE must investigate thoroughly the cowardly attack on a Socialist Party aspiring candidate for the Katuba parliamentary seat, Mr Cephas Twende on Monday morning.

Apparently, Mr Twende was attacked on his way to the nomination centre in Kabangwe by two unidentified men who trailed him in a vehicle.

The attack has obviously been a terrible ordeal such that it has even forced Mr Twende to withdraw from the race.

This should not be accepted in Zambia that people aspiring for political office must be attacked physically so as to stop them from fulfilling their political ambitions.

Zambians have always been very accommodative of individuals aspiring for political office – even those who do not deserve a single vote.

To our knowledge, the attack on the Socialist Party candidate is the first on an aspiring candidate as the nation heads to the August 12 tripartite elections.

We do not want to start guessing as to what could have been the motive for the attack – whether it was to stop Mr Twende from filing his candidature among his competitors within the Socialist Party.

Or could it have been criminal?

Narrating his ordeal in an interview, Mr Twende said he left home around 08:00 hours for Kabangwe but noticed that a Toyota Harrier was trailing him and when he was approaching Mauzu, two men stopped him.

Mr Twende, who was speaking from Matero Level One Hospital explained that he stopped because he thought the two men wanted to ask for directions.

But to his surprise, the duo manhandled him and got away with his Grade 12 certificate and his tax certificate.

“I couldn’t recognise them because they were wearing face masks and the vehicle had no number plate but it was a Toyota Harrier.”

The attack is reminiscent of what often reads in a novel. However, in Mr Twende’s case, this was a real life experience.

As we noted yesterday in our editorial, the nomination process has so far proceeded without any ugly incident.

This is even more impressive because the nominations for the two front-runners – PF’s Edgar Lungu and UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema - all proceeded peacefully.

Yet this was where one could have expected trouble of some sort breaking out.

Zambians have committed themselves to ensuring that this year’s elections are held in a peaceful manner so that only the ballot box must decide who must hold the reins of power.

Whoever did not want Mr Twende to stand as a member of Parliament should have gone through the Socialist Party structures or even filed as an independent if they felt they had been treated unfairly.

But to have resorted to hooliganism over political differences is uncalled for.

This is the more reason why we urge the Zambia Police to get to the bottom of this assault on Mr Twende.

The nation needs to know whether it was politically-motivated or simply common criminals.

The whole world has its eyes focused on Zambia which has an impressive history of holding peaceful elections.

This is why even President Lungu can confidently invite the international community to send election observers because he has that confidence that peace would prevail.

No one wants to see someone killed or maimed over the election as it should not be regarded as a matter of life and death.

Let all political stakeholders canvass for votes by articulating issues on how they hope to improve the lives of the people and not by resorting to physical confrontations.

In terms of infrastructure development, a firm foundation has already been set by the President and my role is to ensure that we build on that.

He said having spent some years in local communities within Chipata Central canvassing for support, he had come to

realise that the people are more focused on getting a determined and result-oriented representative in Parliament, an action oriented person, to get things done.

He said, it was surprising that despite being bestowed with city status, Chipata had not gained much from this.

Kafwaya should surrender vehicle, insurance firm insists

By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA SWAN General Insurance Company Zambia Limited has asked the court not to dismiss a matter where it sued a former cabinet minister Mutotwe Kafwaya for refusing to surrender a Hino Truck after being compensated K428, 000.

The insurance company has dismissed claims

by Mr Kafwaya that the matter was already adjudicated upon.

In this matter, Swan General wants the Lusaka High Court to declare that it is entitled to the motor vehicle, a Hino truck registration number ABZ 587.

It wants the court to order Mr Kafwaya to surrender the motor vehicle.

The insurance company is also seeking damages for loss of use of the motor vehicle, interest and costs.

Mr Kafwaya, who is the proprietor of Nsansamina Enterprises, in his defence said that the case is an abuse of court process as the action, and all claims were already settled under cause number 2017/HP/2134.

The former Transport and Communications Minister claimed that following the entry of the judgement in his favour, the matter was referred for assessment of damages and the Deputy Registrar awarded him K156, 000 as a total reimbursement of the motor vehicle and K272, 658 as damages for loss of business among other relief.

Mr Kafwaya however said that the insurance company has to date not paid the money.

But Swan General in reply to defence, stated that the cause of action in this matter was never litigated nor resolved under number 2017/ HP/2134. It submitted that Mr Kafwaya was not entitled to any of the relief as claimed in his counter claim.

He also alleged that Mr Mumba sponsored adopted councillors and the district chairperson to reject his candidature when the provincial leadership held a meeting with the Rufunsa district leadership.

He however said that he

Atlas Mara enhances digital platforms

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU ATLAS Mara Bank has rolled out the Visa Infinite and Visa Platinum Cards in an effort to enhance digital payment platforms.

This is part of the card ctrategy aimed at driving cash displacement especially during the pandemic, says Atlas Mara Bank Head of Retail and Digital Banking, Teza Ngulube.

Mr Ngulube said in the last 12 months the transactions done on the Atlas Mara cards had grown exponentially by 21 percent in terms of the number of transactions and 33 percent in terms of value.

“Despite the significant challenges we have all experienced with the Covid-19 pandemic, am pleased to announce that Atlas Mara Bank has continuously put customers’ needs first and this is evident from the various new products and services we have introduced as Atlas Mara Bank in the recent years,” he said in a statement.

Mr Ngulibe said the bank had also

Mr Ngulube enabled the contactless technology on the Gold, Platinum and Infinite Cards.

“Contactless payments are not only easy and fast to use, they are also safe and highly secure.

There is growing demand to utilise contactless payments to increase checkout speed and minimize physical interaction at the point of sale, especially in the Covid-19 era” he said Mr Ngulube indicated that this milestone was consistent with the global trend that could be seen in the card and payments industry as part of product enhancements.

At Atlas Mara, he said, the bank valued customers and recognised that their satisfaction was the reason it existed.

Mr Ngulube also announced that in an effort to continue the push for cashless transactions especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, the bank had launched the Atlas Mara Cashback Rewards programme.

He explained that this Programme was aimed at rewarding customers for using the Atlas Mara Debit cards for purchases at Point of Sale and e-commerce merchants.

This initiative, he said, was aimed at driving card utilisation while safeguarding our customers from the risk of using cash, he emphasised.

“One of our goals as Atlas Mara Bank is to recognise the immense opportunities the digital revolution offers and the impact it has on the day to day transactions as our customers use our products and services,” Mr Ngulube said.

All CB parley seats are ours, declares UPND

By ROGERS KALERO THE UPND is happy with the quality of its parliamentary candidates and is sure of scooping most of the seats in the August elections, Copperbelt provincial information and publicity secretary Lawrence mwanza has said.

He said the UPND was now set to get a landslide victory in the August elections because it had adopted quality candidate who were popular on the ground.

Mr Mwanza said the pomp and splendour which characterised the filing in of nomination papers for the 22 constituencies on the Copperbelt was a clear indication that the opposition party was now set to scoop most of the seats.

“The UPND on the Copperbelt has successfully managed to file in the nomination papers for all the 22 constituencies with the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) amid pomp, splendour and an avoidable desire for change of Government.

“The attendance at all nomination centres was characterized with huge but well managed and organized crowds. The environment was splashed with the display of the most sort after UPND ‘red colour’ for a party ready to form government,” Mr Mwanza said.

Mr Mwanza said it was an incident free nomination process except for Kalulushi constituency where two people presented themselves to file their nomination papers, a matter which was quickly resolved.

“The party is now geared up to get a landslide victory on the Copperbelt. We wish to assure the Zambian people that UPND is ready to form the next government come 12th August, 2021.

“Let us unite to rescue our country from the jaws of this uncaring regime. Zambia- Forward,” he said.

“The dollar has hit a record that we never anticipated as a people of Roan, when I was mayor of Luanshya I enjoyed a cordial relationship and a warm working experience with CLM and it was then during one of the engagements that they assured me that once copper prices reach between $8,000 and $10, 000 per tonne they will consider reopening of 28 shaft and Lufubu mine and we will continue pushing for that,” Mr Chanda explained.

He noted that with Luanshya and Roan constituency being a predominantly mining town, reopening Shaft 28 to mining activities will help spur the district economy and create jobs.

“Since luanshya is predominantly held by miner, we are going to make sure that we push the issues surrounding the miners and ensure we serve the people” he said.

And LCM Public Relations Manager Sydney Chileya said the mine is undertaking feasibility studies in a number of areas and that future action would be announced once studies were completed.

A Roan resident Jacob Mwepu appealed to government to compel CLM to reopen 28 Shaft to create jobs for the people of Luanshya.

Another resident Martha Mwenya, a trader said reopening the mines will help to revive the economic activities in the district.

WE’LL CONTINUE EMPOWERING CITIZENS - PF

By ROGERS KALERO

T

HE PF has laid a foundation for women and youth empowerment programmes to alleviate challenges in communities, says PF Chimwemwe parliamentary candidate Allen Banda.

Mr Banda said if elected Chimwemwe MP, he would continue on his programme of empowering youths and women which he had started before he was adopted to stand on the PF ticket.

He was speaking in an interview in Kitwe yesterday.

"It's not an issue of just telling the people that vote out PF and replace them with us. It is an issue of proving the capacity to deliver. Most PF candidates have proved their capacity to deliver through various projects," he said.

He said UPND leaders must prove their capacity to

deliver through empowering youths and women clubs in communities.

Mr Banda said the UPND should not promise 'Heaven on Earth ' if they form government, but must show the people how they would turn Zambian into 'paradise' if they come into power He said the opposition party was trying to ride on

CBU dons decry ‘sub-standard’ management style

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA THE Copperbelt University Academics union (CBUAU) says it is troubled with the continued failure by the University Council to provide proper management skills.

The Union has also expressed disappointment at the council's mismanagement of the recruitment process of a new Vice Chancellor using a substandard advertisement.

CBUAU General Secretary, Willie Ngosa, said the union had always valued the importance of dialogue between employer and employee.

By SANFROSSA MANYINDA FIVE mayoral aspirants in Kitwe yesterday filled in their nomination papers at the Civic Centre Grace Sampa filed on the United Party for National Development (UPND) ticket, Juliet Chileshe of the Socialist Party also lodged in her nomination while Samuel Chikopela from the Democratic Party also did the same.

Others were Mpasa Mwaya from the Patriotic Front and

He said his union had on several occasions engaged the university council whenever aggrieved by CBU management's decisions.

Mr Ngosa said it was clear university council had not been sincere in dealing with challenges affecting the institution.

He said the union had written numerous letters to the university council, highlighting the many challenges and illegalities that were perpetuated by the CBU management but that the council had decided to ignore the union with impunity.

"The university council is mandated by law to act in the

propaganda, falsehoods and fake promises to convince Zambians, but warned that such kind of campaign would not help them.

Mr Banda said because the PF government and its various candidates had realised that unemployment was global problem and embarked on various empowerment projects to mitigate the effects of interest of the university and not for individuals.

"Just recently, the university council through the office of the registrar advertised the position of CBU Vice Chancellor and the union expressed concern to the effect that the advert had fallen short of the requirements and qualities of the position," he said.

Mr Ngosa added that the advertisement was substandard and resembled one that had been tailored to target the qualifications of a particular person of interest to take up the position of the Vice Chancellor at the university.

He alleged that the university had been messed up because of recruiting individuals that had no idea of how a university was run.

Mr Ngosa said it was surprising that despite efforts by the union to ensure that

the challenge.

He said regretted however that while the PF had embarked on various empowerment projects, UPND leaders were busy speaking ill of the leadership of President Edgar Lungu.

"If UPND and other opposition leaders are genuine and quality leaders, they would have been talking about solutions to economic challenges and unemployment levels but because they are group of bitter and disgruntled individuals, they don't talk about solution to the problems, but they want to use it as a campaign tool. "Some of the opposition MPs who are promising employment and empowerment to the people are also in needy of them. Sorry to say this, some of them have no capacity and you know what it means to vote for a person with no capacity to deliver development," Mr Banda said the university was run in line with the higher education Act number 4 of 2013, the search committee that was appointed by the university council failed to restore sanity and order at the institution.

He observed that systems at the institution had broken down such that only the views of certain individuals were taken into consideration.

He advised the council to acquaint itself with the higher education Act for it to fully understand its mandate.

"The union will stand ready to fight injustices should the university council continue failing to provide an oversight regarding the matters affecting the university.

"We will not hesitate to pass a vote of no confidence against the university council should we continue seeing the institution going through the same challenges," he said.

Five file for Kitwe Mayoral position Frederick Kunda of People's Alliance for Change.

Ms Mwaya assured the residents that she would work hard to foster the much-needed development in the district.

She said she would also get involved in a lot of stakeholde’rs engagement with all the councillors as well as Members of Parliament to ensure service delivery.

"I have to work harder so that the public can see that a woman is also able to deliver just like a man can.

Women need to come out of their comfort zone and take up leadership positions.

The president has given as a level playing field and he has demonstrated it by choosing yet another female running mate," she said And Ms Sampa said the

first thing she would do once elected as mayor was to conduct a land audit that would allow people to get back their pieces of land that was illegally taken away from them.

Ms Sampa said it was embarrassing that Kitwe City Council was suspended twice because of illegalities in the issues of land and that the UPND would immediately introduce remedial measures.

UPND Mufumbwe council candidate disqualified

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI UPND Mufumbwe council chairman candidate, Kajilo Muzungu, has failed to file his nomination papers as he did not have a Grade 12 Certificate, one of the requirements.

Mr Muzungu who was scheduled to file in his nominations at 11:00 on Tuesday, failed to produce the required Grade 12 certificate which caused his disqualification. According to information from sources within the UPND, the party leadership was advised to find an alternative candidate to file in.

And after the incident, the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) gave the UPND chance to bring another candidate to file in between 14:00 and 15:00 hours with the requisite documentation, but failed to do.

Meanwhile, three candidates have filed in their nominations for the position of council chairman for Mufumbwe council.

The three are Steven Kamwengo for the Patriotic Front, Augustine Salubeni for Democratic Party and Lemmy Masiye an independent.

CB show placed on ice

By ROGERS KALERO THE Copperbelt Show Society has yet again cancelled the 2021 Copperbelt Agricultural Mining Industrial Networking Enterprise (CAMINEX) because of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

Copperbelt Show Society chairman, London Mwafulilwa, said the organisation had opted not to hold the CAMINEX 2021 but was hoping to resume exhibition next year.

Mr Mwafulilwa said with the vaccine roll-out and information gained so far on the COVID 19 pandemic, the society would be able to make a decision on the holding of next year’s event.

"This will however depend on guidance and information received and the confidence gained in travel and person to person interaction in the last quarter of 2021. This is because, to plan and hold these events, our partners, both local, regional and international require between six to 12 months to be able to participate.

MONETARY POLICY COMMITTEE STATEMENT Monetary Policy Rate held at 8.5 percent

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), at its May 17 - 18, 2021 Meeting, decided to maintain the Monetary Policy Rate at 8.50 percent. While inflation is projected to remain above the upper bound of the 6-8 percent target range over the forecast horizon1, inflationary pressures are expected to ease in view of the improved supply of food, particularly maize and wheat following a good crop harvest. In addition, the significant improvement in copper prices and renewed interest in domestic Government securities by non-resident investors are supportive of the foreign exchange market and in turn lower inflation going forward. The decision also recognises existing vulnerabilities in the financial sector and fragile growth. To restore and anchor macroeconomic stability, the implementation of fiscal adjustment measures in line with the Economic Recovery Programme and understandings reached in discussions with the IMF remain critical.

A stronger recovery in global growth projected Global economic recovery gained traction in the first quarter of 2021 on the back of the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations and enhanced monetary and fiscal stimuli. Overall, growth is projected at 6.0 percent and 4.4 percent in 2021 and 2022, respectively from a preliminary contraction of 3.3 percent in 2020. In the medium-term,

however, growth prospects remain uncertain in view of possible outbreaks of new and more contagious variants of the virus, uneven access to vaccines, and limited fiscal policy support, especially in developing economies.

Domestic economic activity weakened in the first quarter, but recovery expected in the medium-term Preliminary indicators of economic activity point to weaker growth in the first quarter of 2021. The Bank of Zambia Composite Index of Economic Activity2 contracted largely reflecting the decline in copper production, retail sales and international passenger arrivals. In addition, all monitored indicators in the Bank of Zambia Survey of Business Opinions and Expectations, with the exception of labour demand, declined relative to the preceding quarter partly attributed to the effect of the second wave of COVID-19. The Stanbic Bank Purchasing Manager’s Index (PMI) also signalled a deterioration in the private sector business environment over much of the first quarter.

Nonetheless, real GDP is projected to recover beginning 2021 on the back of strong performance in information and communication, electricity, education as well as public administration sectors. In this regard, the Stanbic PMI for April pointed to an improvement in private sector business environment, the first recorded since February 2019. However, constrained fiscal space and

the global resurgence of COVID-19 infections continue to pose significant downside risks to the growth outlook.

Inflation accelerates further, but expected to moderate Annual overall inflation accelerated to a fiveyear high averaging 22.2 percent in the first quarter of 2021 from 17.6 percent in the previous quarter. The depreciation of the Kwacha and low seasonal supply of fish and some vegetables, largely accounted for this outturn. Food inflation rose sharply to 27.0 percent from 17.2 percent while non-food inflation declined to 16.6 percent from 18.0 percent.

In April, overall inflation marginally declined to 22.7 percent from 22.8 percent in March.

While inflation is projected to remain above the upper bound of the 6-8 percent target range over the next eight quarters, inflationary pressures are now expected to subside more quickly than envisaged in the February MPC Meeting. This is mostly on account of the excess supply of maize in view of a good crop harvest, higher copper prices and improved external financing. Inflation is projected to average 21.9 percent and 16.7 percent in 2021 and 2022, respectively. Elevated fiscal deficits, higher crude oil prices, and rising inflation in some major trading partner countries are the key sources of inflationary pressures over the forecast period. However, these are expected

1. The forecast period or horizon is eight quarters ahead, that is, the second quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2023.

2. The Bank of Zambia Composite Index of Economic Activity tracks changes in economic activity by aggregating high frequency sectoral data that are highly correlated with real GDP. 3. M3 comprises currency in circulation, Kwacha deposits, and foreign currency deposits.

4. The current account is computed as a percent of quarterly GDP. In the February 2021 Statement, this was expressed as a percentage of annual GDP. 5. Despite reserves remaining broadly unchanged, the months of import cover declined to 2.1 from 2.3. This reflects higher projected imports for 2021 as economic activity recovers.

to be mitigated somewhat by significantly higher copper prices. Over this period, the key upside risk to inflation is the possible increase in energy prices (fuel pump prices and electricity tariffs) and any resurgence of the COVID-19 infections following the advent of the new variants.

Overnight interbank rate maintained within the Corridor The overnight interbank rate increased to 8.59 percent in March 2021 from 8.17 percent in December 2020 and was maintained within the Policy Rate Corridor of 7.5 to 9.5 percent throughout the quarter. The increase mainly reflected the upward adjustment in the Policy Rate by 50 basis points to 8.5 percent in February.

Demand for Government securities improves Demand for Government securities was relatively stronger than the previous quarter on the back of improved domestic liquidity conditions and increased interest from nonresident investors. Subscription rates to Treasury bill and Government bond auctions improved to 112 percent and 70 percent from 80.8 percent and 30.0 percent, respectively. As a result, a surplus of K1.6 billion was realised.

In addition, Government continued to issue securities through private placements.

Consequently, the stock of Government securities rose by 9.7 percent to K142.8 billion.

Although domestic investors account for the largest share of Government securities, the proportion of non-residents holdings increased.

As at end-March 2021, Government securities held by non- residents rose by 2.1 percent to K18.8 billion, representing 13.2 percent of outstanding securities. Most of their holdings (93 percent) were in Government bonds.

Interest rates edge up Yield rates on Treasury bills and Government bonds rose to 22.3 percent and 33.7 percent from20.1 percent and 33.3 percent in December, respectively. This was largely attributed to increased domestic financing requirements. Similarly, the commercial banks’ average lending rate rose to 26.0 percent in March 2021 from 25.1 percent in December 2020, largely reflecting the upward adjustment in the Monetary Policy Rate in February. The savings rate for 180-day deposits, however, remained broadly unchanged at 9.7 percent.

Credit to the private sector slows down significantly as money supply growth moderates Year-on-year growth in credit to the private sector reduced substantially to 0.5 percent

PUBLIC NOTICE

in March 2021 from 8.5 percent in December 2020 largely due to net repayments.

Meanwhile credit to Government continued to expand at a strong pace on the back of sustained issuance of Government securities to meet domestic financing needs. Over the same period, money supply (M3)3 growth slowed down to 39.6 percent, year-on-year, from 46.4 percent. This largely reflected a lower growth in net foreign assets.

Fiscal pressures still persist Revenue performance improved in the first quarter. However, fiscal pressures remain, reflecting high expenditures on fuel imports and the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) as well as the need to clear accumulated domestic arrears. Over the medium-term, gradual fiscal adjustment premised on expenditure rationalisation and the significant increase in domestic revenue is envisaged. In this regard, the announcement that substantive understanding has been reached on the macroeconomic framework between the IMF and the Government, the impending one-off allocation of SDRs by the IMF to help countries fight the COVID-19 pandemic and improved copper earnings are important developments that can help in creating the much needed fiscal space.

Current account surplus expands further Preliminary data indicate that the current account surplus expanded further by 8.0 percent in the first quarter of 2021 to US$0.8 billion (15.9 percent of GDP) from US$0.7 billion (15.7 percent of GDP)4 due to net exports. Net exports grew by 11.1 percent to US$1.3 billion as copper export earnings remained robust amid a drop in imports.

Copper earnings increased by 4.3 percent to US$1.9 billion driven by higher prices despite the fall in export volumes. Merchandise imports fell by 5.5 percent to US$1.2 billion, reflecting a reduction in capital goods as the recovery in economic activity remained weak.

Pace of Kwacha depreciation slows down The Kwacha weakened further, albeit at a slower pace, as net demand moderated. The Kwacha depreciated against the US dollar by 4.4 percent in the first quarter compared with 9.4 percent depreciation in the preceding quarter. The Kwacha averaged K21.63/US$ in the first quarter.

The Bank of Zambia continued to intervene to moderate exchange rate pressures. On a net basis, the Bank sold US$259.7 million compared to US$339.8 million in the preceding quarter. This largely reflected the receipts of tax obligations from the mining companies, which were sold back to the market.

11

Gross international reserves broadly remained unchanged at US$1.2 billion (equivalent to 2.1 months of import cover)5 at end-March 2021.

The MPC Decision The MPC noted that, although inflation is projected to remain above the upper bound of the 6-8 percent target range over the forecast horizon, inflationary pressures are projected to ease faster than earlier anticipated, particularly towards the end of the forecast horizon. This is in view of improved supply of food, particularly maize and wheat following a strong crop harvest, higher than anticipated copper prices and improved external sector support. In view of this, and to allow for the last Policy Rate adjustment to take full effect on the economy, the MPC decided to keep the Monetary Policy Rate unchanged at 8.50 percent. This is also in recognition of existing vulnerabilities in the financial sector and fragile growth.

The Bank remains committed to adjusting the policy rate upwards should the expected drop in inflation not materialise sooner than anticipated.

Decisions on the Policy Rate will continue to be guided by inflation forecasts, outcomes, and identified risks, including those associated with financial stability and the COVID-19 pandemic. Implementation of fiscal adjustment in line with the Economic Recovery Programme and the understandings reached in discussions with the IMF on the macroeconomic framework remain critical to restore and anchor macroeconomic stability and to create the much needed fiscal space.

The next MPC Meeting is scheduled for August 30 - 31, 2021.

President Edgar Lungu’s last term will be a real deal ... His choice of running mate confirms it Dear Editor,

THE FUTURE OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT Dear Editor,

T

HE Tourism sector is the front liner in bringing the foreign currency into Zambia as the nation has identified itself as a safe haven for foreign tourists.

Ever since its ascendancy to power, the Patriotic Front has dedicated implementation of the pro poor policies with the tourism sector being the recipient of a fair share.

The PF has implemented and undertaken the various reforms in the tourism sector.

So far the infrastructure development has led to construction, rehabilitated and modernised international airports at Lusaka, Ndola, Livingstone and Mfuwe.

This has also seen construction of the Mongu-Kalabo road to the Liuwa National Park; the road to the Sioma-Ngwezi National Park; the road from Chipata to the Mfuwe game park; the Chama-Matumbo road to the North Luangwa game park; the Kafue-Chiawa road, through the Michael Sata bridge, to the lower Zambezi National Park.

Government has also supported the holding of cultural ceremonies countrywide. In 2013 Zambia and Zimbabwe

co-hosted the World Tourism Organisation General Assembly which promoted the publicity of the country’s tourism.

In recent past more initiatives have been put in place notably opened the Lusaka National Park, with good access roads through the Lusaka South Multi-Facility Zone (MFEZ) and also overhauled the Mulobezi railway line.

In 2013 Zambia and Zimbabwe co-hosted the World Tourism Organisation General Assembly which promoted the publicity of the country’s tourism.

The journey for the reformation in the tourism development has not ended here but it will instead be among the priorities that the party will carry on after the Zambi-

Congratulatory message to the New Heritage Party President

IN 2013

Government has also supported the holding of cultural ceremonies countrywide.

WITHOUT an ounce of doubt - I am convinced that President Edgar Lungu is now sorely focused on developing further and driving Zambia forward and not playing politics because the nation has been stuck in the political gear since 2016.

It’s time as a nation we looked at the bigger picture which is recovering our economy and turning Zambia into an upper middle income country.

President Edgar Lungu nonplussed the entire nation with his choice of running such that many eyebrows were raised and armchair critics and political pundits had a field day.

The message many missed is that President Lungu wants to be above petty politics in his last term in office as Republican President and his choice of running mate indicates so and I will explain why.

President Lungu had a luxury of choice and an arsenal of politicians to choose a simpatico running mate from. But being a levelheaded man he is, he resisted the temptation of choosing a running mate that plays politics at a professional and proficient level instead he went for an intelligent, firm and forthright running mate because he knows that his last term will not be about playing petty politics but delivering beyond the people's expectations. President Lungu wants to go out with a bang!

By choosing Prof Nkandu Luo, President Lungu gave a signal that his last term in office will be a real deal. There will be bold decisions made in the interest of the Zambian people and there will be non-negotiables as far as service delivery and hard work is concerned because this is what Zambia needs and that

is what Prof Luo brings to the Vice Presidency.

Prof Luo's track record speaks for itself as she does not have not even a single stain of corruption in her many years of serving the nation diligently since 1996 and this is no mean achievement.

It is an open secret that temptations to be engaged in acts of corruption when working in Government are high but being a woman of integrity, Prof Luo passed the test. Borrowing the words of Dr. Chishimba Kambwili Prof Luo is as white as KK’s handkerchief.

By picking a corruption and scandal free running mate, President Lungu sent a clear message that corruption, dishonesty and double-dealings won't be condoned and culprits will have to face the law.

Like President Lungu admitted that not all will agree with his choice of running mate, nonetheless, I’m certain that with time he will once again be vindicated just like on previous decisions.

I remember when he first appointed Mr Davies Mwila as the PF Secretary General many criticised him but today I can safely say that he is currently the best Secretary General in our political circles thanks to President Lungu's golden finger.

As revealed by President Lungu himself that he prayed and meditated on his decision, I strongly believe that he was led and influenced by God with the result that the decisions him and Prof Luo will be making on behalf of Zambians may be designated in some sense with God's wishes for his people.

I’m looking forward with great anticipation to President Lungu's last term in office because it will be a real deal.

Dear Editor, ans have renewed its mandate for another five years.

The PF intend to give preference to domestic tourism to stabilise the income having in mind the Covid-19 pandemic which has restricted international tourism.

By doing so, the government will embark on initiatives to construct roads to the tourism sites which will make them accessible. The other prospects which will be exploited includes the rich cultural diversity that Zambia has and they will be used to foster economic growth.

Maramba Cultural Village has been earmarked for development and this will increase the value of the tourist attraction.

The PF intend to ride on the economic diplomacy and use its embassies abroad as the platform of marketing the opportunities for tourism back home.

The PF also intend to decentralise the tourism activities to provinces and progressively to districts through the provincial and district expos.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Lusaka.

ACTIONAID Zambia would like to extend its warm congratulatory message to the New Heritage Party President Ms. Chishala Kateka for filing in her presidential nominations ahead of the August 12 polls. She has indeed set the bar high as the only woman to file in a nomination at presidential level.

As an organisation that advocates for women participation to take up positions aimed at influencing decision making at the highest level, ActionAid Zambia is delighted with this development as it is

in line with the regional and continental commitments that Zambia had made such as the SADC and AU gender protocols.

ActionAid Zambia therefore urges the country to be gender sensitive in creating a conducive political environment that allows for effective women participation in decision making structures at all levels.

ActionAid Zambia hereby wishes Ms. Chishala Kateka the best of luck in her political career.

AFRICA’S LOST LANGUAGES:

ONDON - Some children who have grown up in Africa being forced to speak English are facing an identity crisis.

Khahliso Amahle Myataza's family is from the South African township of Soweto in Johannesburg where they spoke Sotho, Xhosa and Zulu.

She would switch languages depending on who she was talking to.

But when Khahliso started primary school her family moved to a predominantly white neighbourhood of the city.

"I was severely bullied for not knowing how to speak English properly, for not knowing how to pronounce certain words," she said.

There were other black children in a similar predicament but they didn’t make friends with each other - not wanting to be associated with others who did not speak English.

“To learn English I immersed myself with white kids. I didn’t want to associate myself with the black kids any more. It was really difficult.”

The 17-year-old’s fluency has come with the realisation of how, not only being able to speak English, but to speak it in a certain way - can open and close doors in South Africa.

FEATURES

...how English can fuel an identity crisis

could not speak Igbo did not bother her initially.

“I was very kind of proud of myself in being able to speak English language the way I can.”

But when she was about 15,

she met her paternal grandmother for the first time - and they could not communicate or connect at all.

“That was the first time I realised that: ‘OK - this is an actual problem. This is a barrier.’”

‘Am I really black?’

And Khahliso says her relationship with her mother tongues has changed as she is now less proficient in languag-

es like Sotho and Xhosa.

She’s unable to hold a conversation without turning to English words - an experience she describes as being “colonised by English.”

Khahliso believes her situa-

tion - and that of Amaka - are not unusual.

“A lot of black children in the middle-income class are facing that identity crisis of: ‘I can’t speak my native language.’ - BBC

INVITATION FOR TRAINING PROPOSALS FINANCING SKILL TRAINING FOR EMPLOYER BASED IN-SERVICE TRAINING Background

Khahliso Amahle Myataza To learn English I immersed myself with white kids. I didn't want to associate myself with the black kids any more. It was really difficult" “When I go to a restaurant with my mum, and they hear her speaking Xhosa or Sotho, they will automatically assume we’re not really here to buy expensive food.

“Then when they hear me or my brothers speak English, especially my brother, then we see people jumping.”

‘Pidgin banned’ For the parents of 22-yearold Nigerian Amaka, who asked us not to use her real name, this too must have been apparent.

When she was growing up in Lagos, English was the only language she was allowed to speak.

Her Igbo parents took her English language skills seriously and as a young girl she attended an etiquette class where diction was a key component of the lesson.

They also frowned on her using Pidgin, which is widely spoken in Nigeria as a lingua franca.

“I was watching a movie on TV and they said something in Pidgin English. And I kind of responded… and I got in trouble,” she said.

Their attitude was: “English is the only proper language.”

This was so engrained that Amaka says the fact that she

Technical Education, Vocational, and Entrepreneurship Training Authority (TEVETA), which was established under the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act of No. 13 of 1998 and the amendment Act No. 11 of 2005.

Among the responsibilities of TEVETA, is the management of the Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training (TEVET) Fund. The TEVET Fund in collaboration with the Skills Development Fund (SDF) which plays an important role in assisting the Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) to develop a high quality, sustainable, demand-driven, and equitable TEVET system, the TEVET Fund is one of the mechanisms used in achieving this objective. The Skills Development Levy Act No. 46 of 2016 is the source of financing.

The main objective of the levy is to provide financial resource for the TEVET sector for skills development.

The TEVET Fund establishes a financing platform that purchases training services from public providers, on a competitive basis, for skills development in both the formal and informal sectors of the economy, at an arm’s length transaction. It plays a critical role in the reform of the TEVET system by separating the provision of training from its financing. It also shifts the focus from quantity to quality. As a financier of training being procured from TEVET providers, the TEVET Fund is able to introduce standards and accountability to the system for the desired outcomes. The Fund also introduces performance incentives for training providers and, through its stakeholders, establishes rules for spending on training services that promote national development objectives, including equitable access.

Invitation to Employers and Training Providers The Government of the Republic of Zambia, using proceeds from the Skills development levy, has set aside funds towards the implementation of the Employer Based Training (EBT) activities through the TEVET Fund.

The TEVET Fund is hereby inviting Employers in collaboration with Training Institutions registered with TEVETA, under the

Technical Education, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training Act No. 13 of 1998 and the amendment Act No. 11 of 2005, to present proposals for support through the TEVET Fund towards skills development for EBT. This financing is available to Employers and TEVET providers whose request for financing will be considered responsive to the disbursement criteria.

Focus is on provision of training that meets the current market demands.

Submission of Proposals Training Providers will be required to submit five (5) copies of each of the proposals in a sealed envelope. The envelope should be clearly marked with the Name of the Applicant Institution.

The closing date for submission of proposals is Friday 28th May 2021 at 15:00hrs. Proposals sent by Tele-fax or email will not be accepted. Opening of proposals will immediately follow closure of the Tender Box. Applicants are welcome to witness the Opening of the Tender Box. DETAILED TERMS OF REFERENCE HAVE BEEN EMAILED TO ALL TEVETA REGISTERED INSTITUTIONS. HOWEVER, THESE MAY ALSO BE OBTAINED FROM TEVETA OFFICES AT THE ADDRESS BELOW. Please note that the costs of preparing the proposal and of negotiating the contract, including a visit to TEVETA, are not reimbursable as a direct cost of the proposed funding.

TEVETA is not bound to accept any of the proposals submitted. All proposals submitted will remain the property of TEVETA.

ZAMBIA BENEFITS FROM AFRICA’S $1.5M GRANT ZCCM-IH INVESTS $250, 000 IN GOLD LAB 6

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

Z

AMBIA will be among other African countries to benefit from the US$1.5 million grant funding opportunity intended to boost entrepreneurship across the continent.

Jack Ma Foundation announced the third edition of its annual grant funding of US$1.5 million for African entrepreneurs and business owners.

Africa’s Business Heroes (ABH) prize competition head of partnership and programmes Zahra BaitieBoateng said the funding opportunity was opened to all 54 African countries including Zambia.

In response to a press query, Ms Baitie-Boateng explained that ABH prize competition was the flagship philanthropic programme of the Jack Ma Foundation spotlighting and celebrating Africa’s entrepreneurial talent.

“Every year, we select ten brilliant finalists who will pitch their business ventures at the grand finale, for a chance to win a share of the

The reality of fraud- it happens when least expected and it knows no boundaries A married woman with a good job and well respected in the community, one day felt bored and decided to spend some time on a dating site.

Firstly, she paid subscription just a small amount using her ATM card and not knowing that this would be a monthly recurring fee. Still exciting to be on the site, BOOM!!! bumped herself into a charming young man.

In no time the woman’s heart was taken and she was free and at peace to share the details about her business, her weekly earnings, her future plans, her identities, gifts shared, funds sent to her accounts.

Trust was built.

‘DON’T PAY SAA’ …OUTA wants to stop R2.7bn of SAA money going to subsidiaries

UK job vacancies highest for a year as lockdown eases

LONDON - UK job vacancies have hit their highest level since the start of the pandemic as the easing of lockdown measures has led employers to start recruiting.

In the February-to-April period there were 657, 000 vacancies, up about 48, 400 on the previous quarter.

The unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.8 percent in the three months to March, down from 4.9 percent in February, the Office for National Statistics said.

The ONS said there were “early signs of recovery” in the jobs market.

However, despite the rise in job vacancies over the past 12 months, the level remains almost 128, 000 below its pre-pandemic level in the January-to-March quarter of 2020. The official figures confirm several reports in recent weeks by recruitment companies that they are seeing a rise in

job advertisements, leading to concern among some employers that they could face staff shortages.

The ONS said the number of workers on payrolls had risen by 97, 000 between March and April, but was still 772, 000 lower than before the pandemic struck.

Darren Morgan, ONS director of economic statistics, said the number of employees on payroll “rose strongly in April” as the economy began to reopen, continuing an improvement from its November trough.

But he said: “There remains, however, threequarters of a million people fewer on the payroll compared with the pre-pandemic peak.

“With many businesses reopening, the recent recovery in job vacancies continued into April, especially in sectors such as hospitality and entertainment.”

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the latest figures showed the impact of the government’s focus on protecting jobs during the pandemic. – BBC.

OHANNESBURG - The Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse wants to prevent the allocation of R2.7 billion of the R10.5 billion allocated to South African Airways in the mini-budget last year, from going to the stateowned airline’s subsidiaries.

It has made submissions to Treasury, the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE) and SAA, and plans to make a formal objection to Parliament’s Standing Committee of Appropriations (SCOA) this week, it said on Tuesday.

The funding is urgently required for restructuring the subsidiaries to align them with the reduced business environment due to the impact of the pandemic, and to settle NAIROBI - President Uhuru Kenyatta has said more partnerships between Kenyan and American Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) will help unlock the huge trade potential that exists between the two nations.

The President invited American SMEs to invest more in the country by entering into mutually beneficial arrangements with their Kenyan counterparts, adding that the enterprises are the backbone of Kenya’s vibrant economy.

“This is where the real opportunity lies. This is not to say that we are telling the big boys not to come in, they

unpaid salaries and creditors.

But unlike SAA, its subsidiaries Mango, SAA Technical (SAAT) and AirChefs did not go into business rescue. SAA exited business rescue at the end of April. The remaining amounts to be paid in terms of its rescue plan will be done via a so-called receivership.

“We want these funds to be withheld until submissions made to Parliament and SCOA have been heard, considered and decided on in Parliament,” OUTA chair Wayne Duvenage said in a statement on Tuesday.

OUTA has written to Public Enterprises Minister Pravin Gordhan as well as Treasury director-general Dondo Mogajane, the chairperson of the SAA Interim

Board Geoffrey Qhena, and the receivers of SAA, Siviwe Dongana and Bongani Nkasana, with a formal request, and raising its concerns.

OUTA will be submitting its objection to SCOA this week, explaining why the diversion of the R2.7 billion is “unjustified and flawed” in relation to SAA’s business rescue plan.

Members of SCOA last week expressed concerns about whether R2.7 billion will be enough to keep the subsidiaries of SAA going or whether Parliament will be asked for more money in future. The committee was briefed by representatives of SAA and its shareholder, the DPE. The committee is busy with the process of finalising the special appropriation of the

R2.7 billion. It would be R1.6 billion for SAAT, R819 million for Mango Airlines and R218 million for Air Chefs. – FIN24.

Kenyatta calls for more partnerships between Kenyan and American SMEs are already here. The big corporates are already here.

“But they don’t have the capacity to propel inclusive growth as the small and medium enterprises that have a much greater capacity of affecting lives and changing the livelihoods at the grassroots level,” President Kenyatta said.

Kenya spoke on Tuesday evening during a virtual US Chamber of Commerce Global Leaders’ Forum on Economic Recovery.

Uhuru said Kenya is keen on concluding negotiations

for the free trade agreement with the US and underscored the importance of the private sector in Kenya’s economic growth and job creation.

He invited American enterprises to set shop in Kenya saying the country provides a ready market for US products, and has an expanding economy supported by an innovative and highly skilled young labour force that is ready to absorb American investments and technology.

“I believe this is a mutually beneficial relationship that

offers investment opportunities with great returns for American companies while at the same time offering job opportunities to Kenyans,” the President said.

Kenyatta also spoke about the African Continental Free Trade Area, saying the multilateral trade arrangement had consolidated Africa’s market of over one billion people into one basket making the continent an attractive investment destination for American businesses.

“As Zimtrade, we are cognizant of the fact that UAE is strategically located between the East and West, which makes it accessible to emerging economies in the Gulf region, linking shipping routes and facilitating goods movement between the different regions in Middle East, Asia, Europe and Africa,” Mlambo said.

She also highlighted that without production in terms

of horticulture, the UAE is becoming a major supplier of horticulture into the Gulf Cooperation Council countries through the concept of re-exports.

“What this reflects is that our Zimbabwean exporters who are able to create solid markets in Dubai will likely find it easy to use UAE as a gateway to land their products in other markets in the Middle East,” she said. – THE HERALD.

Focus on value added products, exporters told DUBAI - Zimbabwean companies should now focus on exporting value added products to augument mineral and raw products that are largely being exported currently, Zimtrade board chairperson Clara Mlambo has said.

While Zimbabwe has been growing its exports over the years, they are biased towards mineral and primary products.

But according to Mlambo Zimbabwe has a comparative advantage in the production of a number of products and

should focus on those in its export drive.

Mlambo metioned horticulture products, tobacco products as well as exotic leather and leather products as some of the products that Zimbabwean companies can focus on exporting.

Speaking at a Zimtrade organised outward seller mission currently taking place here in Dubai, Mlambo said once Zimbabwean horticulture exporters penetrate the Dubai market, they have high chances of spreading to other United Arab Emirates

Namibia ‘agrees deal’ over Germany colonial genocide

World 16

Thursday 20 May, 2021

P German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier

WINDHOEK - Germany has entered a deal with Namibia to pay reparations for colonial era genocide at the beginning of last century.

The agreement includes a formal apology by the German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier for the atrocities against the Nema-Herero people, the UK Times newspaper reported.

Between 1904-1908 German colonial forces brutally suppressed uprisings by the Nama and Herero and driving others to a desert where they starved to death.

About 65, 000 of the 80, 000 Herero and 10, 000 of an estimated 20, 000 Nama people are thought to have died.

Germany formally acknowledged that the atrocities constituted genocide in 2015 and has since been negotiating a restorative justice deal.

It is now expected to provide compensation by funding social projects benefitting the descendants of the survivors.

ARIS - French President Emmanuel Macron touted a "new deal" for Africa at a Paris summit attended by about 30 African heads of state.

President Cyril Ramaphosa attended the Tuesday summit, along with leaders from Nigeria, Angola, Senegal and others.

"The new deal we're launching today, for Africa and through Africa, will, I think, be the first of its kind," said Macron.

The Summit on the Financing of African Economies brought together African leaders and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to discuss the continent's economic recovery in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Macron is proposing $650 billion in Special Drawing Rights through the IMF, a credit line that would go toward post-pandemic recovery, including boosting vaccine manufacture. The deal still needs the buy-in of wealthy donor countries to go ahead.

China, Europe and the US would all be readapting to a post-pandemic global economy and Africa needs the same tools to rebuild after Covid-19, the French president said. The leaders also raised questions on how to structure debt packages more favourably to African states.

"There was clear consensus around the table that we need to rethink our mechanisms, redesign our mechanisms and let the Africans speak for themselves and find mechanisms that are more adaptive macroeconomic realities and to do on

the African continent what we ourselves do," Macron said a press conference on Tuesday evening.

During the press conference, President Macky Sall of Senegal and President Felix Tshisekedi of the Democratic Republic of Congo, thanked Macron several times during the live press briefing, cordially referring to the French leader by his first name, "Dear Emmanuel."

Throughout his presidency, Macron has played a greater role in securing the influence of the former colonial power in Africa.

On Monday, he also hosted a summit to discuss the growth of post-revolution Sudan.

The IMF estimates that Africa will need US$285 billion to plug the economic hole left by pandemic-era shrinkage. To get African countries back on the growth path toward catching up with wealthy countries, the continent would need twice as much.

"The aspirations for Africa are a fair shot - a vaccine shot in the arm for everyone, everywhere and a shot at revitalising the economy," said Kristalina Goergieva, the IMF's managing director.

Along with economic recovery, the summit also focused on boosting access to the Covid-19 vaccine so that 40 percent of Africans are inoculated by 2021. The

Malawi burns thousands of Covid-19 vaccine doses

New York prosecutor says Trump inquiry now criminal NEW YORK - The New York Attorney General's office says it is investigating the Trump Organisation "in a criminal capacity."

summit championed lifting intellectual property rights so that African states can begin manufacturing their own doses. Macron also promised to mobilise funds for the Covax initiative, the vaccine acquisition alliance which most African countries are reliant on.

"As an African and as president of the DRC, I admit there isn't a lot of mobilisation among our own populations due to a few concerns that the vaccine is coming from elsewhere, and this is exactly why we must try to manufacture the vaccines in Africa itself.

I think that will have a significant impact on the attitudes of populations," said Tshisekedi. – NEWS24.

LILONGWE - Health authorities in Malawi have incinerated 19, 610 expired doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine, saying it will reassure the public that any vaccines they do get are safe.

It is the first African country to publicly do this.

The World Health Organisation initially urged countries not to destroy expired doses but has now changed its advice.

Uptake of the vaccine in Malawi has been low and health workers hope the move will increase public confidence.

Out of a population of about 18 million people, the country has recorded 34, 232 confirmed coronavirus cases and 1, 153 deaths.

Malawi received 102, 000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine from the African Union on March 26 and used almost 80 percent.

But the expiry date on the labels was April 13 so vials were taken out of the cold chain.

Malawi's Principal Health Secretary said it was unfortunate they had to destroy the vials but the benefits outweighed the risks.

"When news spread that we had out-of-date vaccines, we noticed that people were not coming to our clinics to get immunised," said Dr Charles Mwansambo.

"If we don't burn them, people we will think that we are using expired vaccines in our facilities and if they don't come Covid-19, will hit them hard."

He added that burning the doses was "just a formality" as they had already been destroyed.

South PF toasts Luo’s appointment

By ANDREW MUKOMA THE PF in Southern Province has congratulated President Edgar Lungi for picking Professor Nkandu Luo as his running mate in the August 12 general elections.

According to the ruling party, the decision by President Lungu demonstrated that he was passionate about promoting women in leadership.

PF Southern Province Information and Publicity Secretary, Trymore Mwenda, said that President Lungu was walking the talk when he talks about leaving no one behind in gender equity and equality in the country.

"The selection of Prof Nkandu Luo as his running mate cements this position and could not have come any better as it has been a

distinquished and accomplished woman replacing another of equally impeccable credentials," Mr Mwenda said.

Me Mwenda said that the President had been consistent in ensuring gender balance at the top most level since 2016 and this would in due time continue to trickle down to many other key decision making positions in Government.

"We are happy with Prof.

Luo's selection because she brings to the table a wealth of experience and a rich education track record as the country's first female Professor demonstrating hard work and discipline," Mr Mwenda said.

He added that Prof Luo's selection was not her achievement alone but an achievement for the women folk in the country.

UPND IN SESHEKE FAILS TO SETTLE RENTALS

By ANDREW MUKOMA in Sesheke

HE UPND in Sesheke is allegedly failing to settle its rentals at the party secretariat.

The party has been paying K800 per month but for the last three months, it has not done so.

A source within the party said both the district and

PF Sesheke candidates confident

By ANDREW MUKOMA in Sesheke PATRIOTIC Front (PF) Sesheke adopted candidates for parliamentary and council chairmanship Shaft Mukubesa and Henry Muzungu respectively have predicted victory in the August 12 general elections.

The duo has thanked the ruling party leadership both at national and provincial levels for adopting them from among other candidates who had applied on ruling party ticket.

In a joint interview in Sesheke after launching their campaigns, Mr Mukubesa said that the people of Sesheke deserved quality leadership and not what had been happening previously.

Mr Mukubesa said that because of voting for the opposition UPND for many years, the area had lagged behind in development.

He said time has come for the people of Sesheke to redeem themselves and move out of UPND captivity.

"Now that we are done with nominations, we are hitting the ground and make more votes for the president and win the elections at all levels without fail.

In fact, if the elections were called today, I can assure you I was going to carry the day. I have already won this election whether the UPND wants it or not. When I look at this election, I don't have a competitor, I am the true son of Sesheke," he said.

And Mr Muzungu who is contesting the position of Council Chairperson said people of Sesheke need clean water and that that would be his priority.

"People have suffered for too long without clean water and sanitation. We need Sesheke to be neaty thereby opening up roads in all the township and also ensure the allocation plots will done transparently," he said.

Mr Muzungu promised to work hand in hand with his parliamentary candidate in fostering development in the area.

from similar empowerment”, Mr Chihili said.

And Youth Development Coordinator, Damiano Chishimba expressed gratitude to President Edgar Lungu for considering the youths in the province in the multi-sectoral youth empowerment program.

Mr Chishimba has since urged other youths in the province to apply for the empowerment funds.

“Those who have not yet applied for youth empowerment fund, they can still do it and submit their application through our offices or through the district commissioner’s offices”, he said.

Meanwhile, the beneficiaries representative, Benard Mbambiko in his vote of thanks promised to put the bus to good use in order to quickly pay back the loan. ZANIS

constituency leadership were to blame for that.

The source said that the party has been given three days by the landlord to look for the money else, it will be evicted.

"We have been given three days to pay monthly rentals of three months but when you look at this whole issue, the leadership is to blame.

The owner of the place al-

most refused us to hold our party campaign launch at secretariat on nomination day.

"With the campaigns that have started, this is not a good sign because our opponents can capitalise on that and de-campaign us," a source said.

The source charged that the current leadership was failing to coordinate party

activities and wondered how it would perform during the elections.

Efforts to get a comment from the party leadership proved futile by press time and the premises where the secretariat was based was found locked.

The UPND has re-adopted Romeo Kangombe as its candidate for the parliamentary seat.
