HH INSULTS UNITED Party for National Development (UPND) Hakainde Hichilema has drawn the battle lines for the country’s presidential elections next year – that he would use every weapon in his arsenal, including insults, to win.

But is the nation going to be subjected to vulgar and divisive language in the run up to the 2021 elections. There must be a stop to this.

We feel Mr Hichilema crossed the mark when he unleashed insults at President Edgar Lungu and his late mother by using Ila derogatory words.

The UPND leader was addressing a public meeting in Pemba and his supporters cheered him on with every insult he uttered.

Mr Hichilema, who used unpalatable and derogatory language during his whole address, also directed the people in the area not listen to alleged lies by the Patriotic Front and every time they hear someone mentioning “Pabwato” they should respond “Pabwato Panyoko.”

His language was that of a person full of hate especially against President Lungu whom he claimed had Police lock him up in a filthy cell No Zambian would accept to have his or her mother insulted, especially when they are dead. But that is what Mr Hichilema did in Pemba, oblivious of the hurt he was inflicting not only on the intended target and his family, but the larger society.

This is not the first time that Mr Hichilema has used vulgar language in public. Remember that during the Lukashya by-election campaign in Kasama, he used vulgar terms to describe his political opponents.

To date, Mr Hichilema has not apologised for the insults. The UPND claimed he used the words figuratively.

But how do you use words figuratively in a language that you are not fluent in and even when the owners explain how certain words are used especially among contemporaries and not in a formal setting?

Will Mr Hichilema this time round claim that he was not serious, that he was speaking figuratively – when he was advising his supporters to vote out the PF from government next year.

The Church has for example called on politicians to carry out issue-based campaigns without using derogatory language.

Inspector-General of Police Kakoma Kanganja on Friday urged all political players to conduct issue-based campaigns and desist from any form of violence.

But we wonder how this could be achieved when persons who aspire for the highest office in the land are the one’s encouraging insults.

What message is being sent to the foot soldiers for example – that it is okay to insult your political rivals?

Foul-mouthed language from political leaders is what ignites violence, and we shudder to think what some hotheads in the PF might resort to in an effort to defend President Lungu.

It is important though for all political leaders to remember that since they all claim to love Zambia and wish to serve, their conduct must be above board.

Their language - even in their backyards – must be to build the nation and not lead it to destruction.

UPND's lawyers must put up or shut up

By MUBANGA LUCHEMBE SOLICITOR-GENERAL Abraham Mwansa joined those supporting the eligibility of President Edgar Lungu in the 2021 elections. He reiterated that the issue of President Lungu’s eligibility had already been settled by the Constitutional Court in the case of Dan Pule and Others versus the Attorney General.

He advised that the verdict in the matter was not appealable as the Constitutional Court, like the Supreme Court, had final jurisdiction. The Solicitor-General also advised that Zambians regardless of status in life must respect the decisions of the Judiciary.

Frankly, it's time for the UPND's lawyers and others to put-up with this non-appealable eligibility matter or shut up.

Known and unknown to many, it is in UPND-aligned platforms that bear the names GEARS or CiSCA or OCiDA or LAZ that one can easily find challengers of President Lungu’s candidature and belittling of Constitutional Court judges on the same page.

Besides, legal professionals invariably dominate these bodies, making consensus a chimera. Are we Zambians so naïve to forget so easily how the UPND president Mr Hakainde Hichilema branded Constitutional Court judges who presided over his 2016 failed petition to nullify the re-election of the incumbent president as thugs and criminals?

This type of reaction reduced the court’s verdict to the

clichéd blame game or judiciary-bashing rhetorical jingoism.

Meanwhile, UPND's lawyers have been echoing everything from the tired linear political culture rhetoric of the ex-LAZ president Eddie Mwitwa’s era that President Lungu was not eligible to stand in next year’s election to State Counsel John Sangwa’s disparaging remarks that the current Constitutional Court judges were ill-qualified.

Lest we forget, after President Lungu trounced the then-UPND three-time losing candidate in the 2015 presidential by-election, leader of the opposition in Parliament Jack Mwiimbu indirectly mocked him on the floor of Parliament whether he would be entitled to the presidential retirement house to be built by government because he wouldn’t have done the required minimum threshold of three years in completing President Michael Sata’s term of office.

Moreover, in a matter where UPND, through its secretary general Steven Katuka petitioned the Constitutional Court to order 64 ex-ministers to pay back all the money they got after Parliament was dissolved in 2016, and when PF secretary general Davies Mwila, on behalf of 63 others, asked the court to set aside part of its judgment, was he simply engaged in a complain and apportion blame approach?

Albeit in his ruling, Constitutional Court judge Enock Mulembe indicated that the court’s adjudicatory function could be defeated if its final decisions were open to casual challenge in form of applications for revisiting or setting

aside part or the entire judgment at the instance of an aggrieved party.

What about Mr Sangwa who has vowed to challenge the President’s nomination in 2021 polls? Will the Constitutional Court be compelled to revisit or set aside its final decision in the eligibility case of Dan Pule and Others versus the Attorney General? Let’s wait and see what transpires.

As is always the case with UPND, it is now contradicting itself with the narrative of the so-called President Lungu’s third-term bid. This sort of serial contradiction is widespread amongst UPND’s lawyers, so it’s not really reducible to Mr Mwiimbu.

However, such types of narrative always give the game away via the use of legal oxymorons like “Constitutional Court judges upheld the arguments by LAZ that the 64 ex-ministers ought to have sought leave of court before asking it to reopen its judgment of August 8, 2016” – that is, something as internal and self-defining as their “judicial independence” is a “verdict” from the same judges described to be ill-qualified by one of the UPND’s lawyers.

But in stark contrast to the way its political rival, the PF does things - President Lungu proposed the scrapping of the law that required the government to build a house for a retired Head of State.

In his first address to Parliament as a head of State in September 2015, in an apparent response to UPND’s earlier parliamentary parody and taunting, the President stated that the process should be-

gin with him. He categorically stated: “I do not think that it is fair and equitable that the State must build a house for a retired President and not for others.

We have to demonstrate strong commitment to cost-saving measures for now and for the future. I am proposing that this forfeiture takes effect starting with me.”

The parliamentary debate on the issue held afterwards was vigorous and in agreement with his views. There was almost unanimous acknowledgement that Zambia was currently operating under austerity measures - obvious enough about a country with the debilitating external debt and domestic arrears.

Needless to say, the stance taken by the President to forfeit the presidential privilege of having a house built for him after leaving office was a clear demonstration of his selfless leadership.

But is it his fault that we see the emergence of oligarchs linked to privatisation of state-owned companies who plundered national assets and are now filthily rich, at the expense of their own kith and kin? It is such a pity that today it’s the traditional leaders in rural areas who appreciate what the President has accomplished for this country, more than the privatisation-induced poverty-stricken urbanites themselves who are just good at erroneously-chiding him.

He has set an example of good leadership, and after his disputed second term, he’ll hand the baton to others to continue with his formidable work.

HH blasted CHIEFS CLASH OVER MINE From Page 1

Mr Wright Musoma, the ZRP president said it was foolish for someone of Mr Hichilema’s age to insult another man’s mother, especially one who was long gone.

UPND president Hakainde Hichilema on Friday unleashed insults on President Lungu and his late mother by using the Ila derogatory words.

Addressing scores of supporters in Pemba, Mr Hichilema said President Lungu caused him to be taken by police and placed him in a cell which was splashed with faeces.

Mr Musoma said Mr Hichilema was exhibiting foolish arrogance because he knew that he would lose next year’s elections and wanted to find a way to get arrested.

“He knows that he will lose this elections and looking for a way to be arrested.

Let him deny if he did not insult the President at the rally in Pemba,” Mr Musoma said.

He also challenged the NGOCC, Bishop Telesphore Mpundu, Bishop Chihana and Senior Chief Mukuni among others to come out and condemn this unprovoked barrage of insults directed at the head of state.

“If they do not condemn this they should never raise their voices on any issue,” he said.

Mr Hichilema said despite the cell being smelly,

his spirit did not break because he was suffering for the people of Zambia.

He told his supporters that he was being persecuted by President Lungu and his government because of his stance to liberate the people of Zambia from the shackles of poverty.

“We have suffered enough, we have been jailed for long, but we don't retreat because we are doing it to liberate you,” he said.

Mr Hichilema who used unpalatable and derogatory language during his whole address, also directed the people in the area not listen to lies by PF and every time they hear someone mentioning “Pabwato” they should respond “Pabwato Panyoko.”

He said despite the PF government failing the people, some people were going round telling Zambians to vote for the ruling party.

WO chiefs have clashed over the imminent setting up of a mine in the Lower Zambezi National Park.

While Senior Chief Mburuma of the Nsenga-Luzi people has said Kangaluwe copper mine in the Zambezi lower national park will be operationalised as soon as the Covid-19 pandemic subdues, his Zimbabwean counter part, Chief Chuundu has rejected the move.

Chief Chundu of the Tonga people of Zimbabwe said he was going to oppose the setting up of a mine in the lower Zambezi as doing so was going to negatively affect the movement of wild animals not only on the Zambian side of the corridor but also in Mana Pools in Zimbabwe, a

Senior Chief Mburuma world heritage site.

Senior Chief Mburuma said in an interview the only reason the project had delayed was the Covid-19 outbreak but was hopeful that the developer will soon mobilise

and move on site.

He insisted that the court injunction against the setting up of the mine in the Lower Zambezi National Park, sought by some NGOs, was discharged a long time ago by the courts of law.

“The injunction against the setting up of the mine is no longer in force, and our hope is that with the reduction in Covid-19 cases and relaxation in travel ban worldwide, the developer will move on site,” he said. The traditional leader said the poverty levels among his people were high but that with the planned establishment of a large-scale mine in the area, the hopes of the locals have been rejuvenated.

But Chief Chundu argued that while the mine was going to only create less than 250 jobs for Zambia, the three countries Zambia, Zimbabwe

UPND impeachment talk is empty - Mundubile GOVERNMENT Chief Whip Brian Mundubile says the attempts by the United Party for National Development UPND to move an impeachment motion against President Edgar Lungu is a desperate scheme aimed at soliciting cheap political mileage ahead of the 2021 general election.

Mr Mundubile says UPND Mazabuka MP Gary Nkombo’s request to the Speaker of the National Assembly is an act in futility because such a

motion was never placed on the Order paper.

He explained that Mr Nkombo merely expressed an intention to move a motion of impeachment in 2018 but it was never placed on the Order paper for him to claim that he wants the motion to be restored on the Order paper. Mr Mundubile says Mr Nkombo has no legal nor constitutional basis to move a motion of impeachment against President Lungu.

He has since advised Mr

Nkombo and the UPND leadership to focus on the 2021 election campaigns other than engaging in futile political schemes.

Mr Mundubile told ZNBC News that the UPND was making every effort to misinform the citizens on President Lungu’s eligibility for 2021 Presidential election because the party was aware of his popularity among the masses.

Mr Nkombo has reportedly written the Speaker requesting a restoration of an

Lungu calls for peace among Zambians, Malawians

By SIMON MUNTEMBA in Vubwi

PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has implored the people of Vubwi to live in peace and avoid unnecessary boundary conflicts with their Malawian counterparts because they were one people.

The President said Zambia should continue to brand itself as a peaceful nation by embracing peace and unity as it was a perquisite for the country's sustainable development.

Chief Chundu said in an interview, the damage to the environment that the project would cause was a matter of public concern and interest which will affects all people not only in Zambia but also his people in Zimbabwe.

In 2014, Cabinet through then Minister of Land, Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Harry Kalaba issued licence No. 15547-HQLML to Mwembeshi Resources Ltd, a subsidiary of an Australian company, Zambezi Resources Limited.

But some citizens and NGOs went to the Lusaka High Court to seek an exparte injunction to stop the Australian company from embarking on the mine but the injunction was later discharged.

He said he was saddened by reports that a land dispute had ensued between some Zambians and Malawian farmers along the border.

He said Zambians and Malawians were one people who should live in harmony for the sake of development. The President said any country could only attract investors and register development if it remained peaceful.

"Investment cannot come without peace. Make sure there is no tension with Malawi because we are one," he said.

He also urged the people to register as voters in numbers

to ensure they took part in the selection of political leaders in 2021.

Earlier, President Lungu toured the tobacco and macadamia farm plantations owned by a foreign firm, Losacco and Company Limited in Sindemisale area of Vubwi.

Losacco and Company Limited shareholder, Andrea Bizarro said the plantation has created several jobs for Zambians.

Mr Bizarro explained that his company invested US$8 million towards growing macadamia on 627 hectares.

He said macadamia nuts which take three years to mature were

used in confectionary, baking, ice cream and snack food industries.

Mr Bizarro also said macadamia nuts were a lucrative produce.

Speaking after touring the farm, President Lungu said patience was virtue in all businesses including farming.

He urged local farmers to emulate the company in exercising patience when making investment in the agricultural sector.

President Lungu also urged small-sale farmers in the district to embrace the concept of practicing climate smart agriculture.

Meanwhile,, ZANIS reports that Italian ambassador to Zambia, Antonino Maggiore has assured that his government remains committed to supporting the Zambian government to improve the agriculture sector.

Mr Maggiore says his country is happy with the way the government is running the agriculture sector hence its support.

Kapiri Council goes an extra mile to ensure people get voter’s cards

...as the council ferry people to centres with few people

By KETRA KALUNGA In Kapiri Mposhi

IN a bid to ensure that many people acquire voter’s cards, Kapiri Town Council is ferrying people from voter registration centres with a lot of people to centres away from the town where there is less congestion.

Council secretary, Issac Zimba on Friday directed that about 40 people from Matilyo primary and Palamades secondary school be taken to Chisanga Manga primary school which is about five kilometres away from Kapiri town.

And Mr Zimba said in an interview with the media that the local authority is constantly engaging officers in various registration points to ensure the smooth issuance of voter's cards.

He said registration centres that have an influx of people are being encouraged to alert the council over the matter so that they could be provided with transport to ferry others to registration centres that are less congested.

“Where we have a lot of people registering, we are able to ferry them to less congested registration centres, like in Kapiri central ward which is the most populated ward,” he said.

The council secretary further said Kapiri Central ward has been allocated three voter registration kits because it is the biggest ward in the district while the less populated wards have two kits.

And Mr. Zimba urged people in the district that have no time to acquire voter's cards in the day to do so any time of the day from the civic centre where the registration exercise was being conducted 24 hours.

ZAMBIA - DRC MUKULA TRANSIT DEAL EFFECTED

By PETER SICHALI

THE deal for the transportation of Mukula logs through Zambia by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is now in effect, Lands and Natural Resources Minister Jean Kapata has confirmed.

Ms Kapata assured that Government had put in place stringent measures to ensure that the logs exit the country without affecting the ongoing ban on the export of the commodity.

Last year, over K2 million was raised by the State through inspection and escort fees for trucks carrying Mukula logs transiting through Zambia from the DRC.

Mukula logs

Ms Kapata said Zambia had agreed with the Congolese counterparts to allow exports of rosewood commonly known as Mukula through the country again.

This was after the initial deal came to an end in June last year.

Ms Kapata said security had been put in place to ensure that the Zambian

Mukula was not smuggled out of the country as a result of the DRC deal.

"In ensuring that Zambian Mukula is not exported along the way, we are providing security escorts to the tracks transporting Mukula logs from the point of entry to the exit point," Ms Kapata said.

Ms Kapata said Zambia

was signatory to SADC protocol to allow other countries transit through the country "So we have allowed Congo DR to transit Mukula through Zambia especially that both Congo and Zambia are land locked countries, the only difference is that we still have a ban on Mukula," Ms Kapata said.

She said Zambia had allowed DRC to transit Mukula logs through the country up to 2021.

"The country is benefitting from the transit of Mukula logs from the Democratic Republic of Congo because they pay for the logs to transit through Zambia," Ms Kapata said.

Minister hails improved road safety

By SILUMESI MALUMO

GOVERNMENT is pleased with the improved road safety among motorists.

Minister of Transport and Communications Mutotwe Kafwaya said he was pleased with the improved safety levels among motorists, especially in Lusaka.

Mr Kafwaya said this was a milestone because this was what the government had been yearning for.

He was speaking when he inspected the Makeni fly over bridge on Friday to see how fit and safe it was for the public.

The minister said a number of lives had been lost due to noncompliance of road safety, therefore, the strides made were impressive.

“The motivation for me is road safety, to see how road safety has improved as a result of this new development is very impressive. And we chose Makeni fly-over bridge because it was the first to be commissioned by President

Meanwhile Mr Kafwaya said Lusaka had changed because of the massive infrastructure which had been rolled out by the government.

of farming inputs

By OLIVER SAMBOKO

THE Catholic Church plays an instrumental role in promoting sustainable development, peace and justice in the Country, PF deputy Secretary General Mumbi Phiri has said.

She was speaking at St. Peter’s Catholic Church when she officiated at the Music Album launch in Kabwe yesterday and donated K100, 000 on behalf of President Lungu and the Patriotic Front.

Ms Phiri said the PF and its Government under the leadership of President Lungu was committed to co-operating with the Church in helping the vulnerable and needy in society.

She said the party in power was also appreciative of the role the church was playing in ensuring the uplifting of the girl child through fight against early marriage.

“As a Party, we recognise the important role that the Church is playing in promoting girlchild education and fighting early marriages,” she said.

She also thanked the St Peter Catholic Church for supporting thirteen children who are physically challenged and are studying at Musakanya Special School.

And Ms Phiri who donated K100, 000 to the choir, said Music plays a very important role in the lives of Christians.

“In order to support and supplement the efforts from our youths, I hereby, on behalf of His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu and the Patriotic Front donate K100,000 cash to the choir to support them in their work of evangelizing through music,” she said.

Ms Phiri also said apart from the spiritual role that it plays, music can be used as a source of revenue and employment especially among the women and youths.

She said that was the reason why the PF Government has allocated over K30 million Kwacha to empower youths and artists in the country.

“We use music to praise and worship God; we use music to deal with difficult times and difficult situations in our lives; we also use music to express our joy and to celebrate the good things that God has done in our lives,” she said.

Chief Pembamoyo hails Edgar Lungu for Vubwi development

By SIMON MUNTEMBA in Vubwi

CHIEF Pembamoyo of the Chewa people of Vubwi has praised President Edgar Lungu for various development projects implemented in the district.

The traditional leader said the face of the district has significantly changed for the better under the PF government.

He also thanked Government for the early distribution of the 2020/2021 farming inputs to the farmers.

Chief Pembamoyo said this yesterday when President Lungu called on him.

He said he was pleased that al-

most all the farmers have received their inputs and ready for the farming season.

The traditional leader also informed the President how happy he was to work with government officials in the district who were committed to work.

He however appealed to the government to expedite the works on the Chipata-Vubwi Road.

He also asked for the quick completion of Vubwi secondary School which was at 80 percent.

Later, the President met village headmen and the clergy who also expressed happiness in what government has done in the district.

Speaking on behalf of others, Headman Kalibwe told the Presi-

dent that, "here, don't worry what your opponents say, leave it to us who are happy with what you have done for us. We will do the ground work."

Headman Kalibwe asked the President to consider buying Chief Pembamoyo a vehicle and headmen bicycles.

The President who thanked the headmen for the encouraging sentiments said his government was encouraged to do more.

Mr Lungu said it was important to appreciate when Government did well to encourage them.

He said, "development does not end" adding that he would ensure that he left Zambia better than he found it.

On the Chipata-Vubwi Road, President Lungu promised that it would be graded soon to an all-weather road, as government was sourcing for funds to upgrade it into bituminous standards.

Mr Lungu said government was targeting projects that were above 80 percent to be completed.

He said he would sit down with the area member of Parliament, Margaret Miti to see how the issue of transport for the Chiefs and headmen would be sorted out.

Mr Lungu urged both the traditional and church leaders to encourage members of the public to register as voters in the ongoing voter registration.

WIFE BATTERED OVER DAILY SEX ROSTER

T

HE saying a “hungry” man is an angry man is quite apt for Daniel Moyo (34) of Sibangani Village in Lupane who got angry and battered his wife Similo Sibanda (26) for refusing to have sex with him on a daily basis.

Similo had to rush to a police station where she made an assault report leading to her husband’s arrest.

His wife said Moyo was a sex maniac.

“My husband likes sex too much and I cannot bear it.

When I deny him sex he gets angry and beats me with fists or anything that would be within his reach. At times when he is from a beer binge

he demands sex in front of our kids,” she told the court.

Appearing for an assault charge before Lupane magistrate Ndumo Masuku the livid Daniel, who felt hard done by his wife said: “At first I asked my wife’s sister to talk to my wife about the issue but she failed to convince her to adapt to my high sex drive.”

Daniel resorted to fists to enforce his demand.

“I’m a person who likes sex and I told her when we got married that I want to have sex with her on a daily basis.

It’s not strange because we are like that in our family.

During the first days she used to offer me but as our mar-

riage grew old she gradually changed and eventually denied me my conjugal rights,” he said.

He added saying initially he tried to talk to her but his wife never changed. He said her response angered him.

“I got angry when she said I like too much sex and she is not a sex toy. After that I had to beat her. Your Worship, if she feels like I’m sexually abusing her she should return to her parents and I marry someone who will understand me,” he said.

Daniel was remanded out of custody to next week on Monday for sentencing. - B METRO

Hubby kidnaps wife lover, dumps him in bush A MAN who was bedding a married woman in Zimbabwe and continued sex-texting her when she moved to South Africa, endured 10 hours while being hogtied in his birthday suit in a bush after his lover’s husband allegedly kidnapped him.

After seeing the sexuallysuggestive chats that Tongai Kambarami (26) exchanged with his wife only identified as Primrose (23), the husband hired two men and travelled all the way from South Africa to “deal” with Tongai.

Tongai told B-Metro that the husband used his wife’s phone to pin him down.

“Primrose’s husband pretended to be Prim and sent me sexually-suggestive messages and promised me that she is coming at the end of November. I hooked to the chats and had no rea-

son to be suspicious,” he said.

But Tongai never knew that he was being taken for a ride. “On 10 November while I was at home relaxing, I received a message which I presumed was from Primrose saying she had sent me a parcel with a malayitsha and I should wait at home. They (malayitsha) arrived at 10pm and told me that they forgot the parcel in

town so we have to drive to town to collect it. When we got to Emagetsini a guy told me that he was Primrose’s husband and he was the one who had been communicating with me,” he said.

Tongai said fear gripped him and he became numb.

Primrose’s husband and his partners in crime drove into a bushy area near Entumbane suburb.

“They were very angry

and I thought they would kill me. I tried to talk to them so that they would not kill me and I gave them R500. They stripped me naked before tying my hands to the legs with a wire and leaving me in the bush,” he said.

He said that he spent 10 hours in the bush.

“At around 8.30pm a Good Samaritan who was fetching firewood came to my rescue and went to inform a police officer at Entumbane Police Station. Police officers came and untied me,” he said.

He was referred to Mpilo Central Hospital for medical examination. He was treated and has been discharged.

Bulawayo acting police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Nomalanga Msebele confirmed the case and appealed for information that might lead to the arrest of the accused persons who are on the run. - B metro

Nyanga man impregnates sister A NYANGA man who was facing allegations of raping and impregnating his 14-year-old sister committed suicide last week on Sunday.

Manicaland provincial police spokesperson, Inspector Tavhiringwa Kakohwa confirmed the death of the man, whose name has been withheld to protect the identity of the minor.

Inspector Kakohwa said the man was a Gohoto villager under Chief Katerere.

He was found hanging from a baobab tree in Nyapomboro Mountain. Inspector Kakohwa said on November 5, the man’s family met and accused him of sexually abusing and impregnating his sister.

This was after the minor had told the family that her brother was responsible for

her pregnancy. “He insisted that he was not the culprit, but the family remained adamant, threatening to

take him to the police. The following day, the man told his son that he was going to Nyapomboro Mountain,

but never returned,” said Inspector Kakohwa.

Other family members became suspicious and decided to form a search party, only to discover the man’s body hanging from a tree branch. Police at Ruwangwe Police Station attended the scene and retrieved the body.

Inspector Kakohwa advised the public to resolve family issues amicably and involve the police as soon as they suspect abuse of minors.

“We suspect no foul play, but we urge people to resolve issues amicably. There is need to consult traditional or community leaders in family matters like these to avoid unnecessary loss of lives,” he said. HEHANDA RADIO

Rudy Giuliani: Hair dye streams down sweating Trump lawyer’s face in latest news conference embarrassment DONALD Trump’s lawyer appears to be feeling the heat following the president’s defeat in the US election.

Rudy Giuliani: Hair dye streams down sweating Trump lawyer’s face in latest news conference embarrassment Speaking to reporters in Washington DC, what appeared to be hair dye began streaming down Rudy Giuliani’s cheeks.

The 76-year-old mopped his brow but failed to realise there were dark brown streaks running from his hairline down to his jaw at the Republican National Committee headquarters.

Mr Giuliani used the news conference to repeat baseless claims that electoral fraud was a factor in Joe Biden’s victory.

When asked by Sky’s US correspondent Cordelia Lynch about the president’s efforts to overturn the election result, Mr Giuliani said: “The most important thing here is that this has been a massive attack on the integrity of the voting system in the greatest democracy on Earth.

“The people who did this have committed one of the worst crimes that I have ever seen or observed.”

It has been a running theme

since Mr Trump failed to secure re-election, but no firm evidence has been provided.

Under what were presumably very hot lights, Mr Giuliani wiped his brow again – and his cheeks this time, too, looking a little sheepish as a reporter asked a question.

Amid widespread amusement on Twitter, one user said the Trump aide was “sweating black goo”, while another speculated that he had a sponsorship deal with a hair dye manufacturer – which had just been cancelled.

It is the latest in a series of embarrassing events for the former mayor of New York City.

Another recent news conference was held opposite a crematorium and next to a sex shop.

Footage also emerged days before the election of Mr Giuliani inside a hotel room with a 24-year-old actress after she tricked him into going back with her for the new Borat film.

In the movie, he is seen lying on a bed in a New York room, seemingly with his hands down his trousers.

The scene was filmed in July and prompted Mr Giuliani to call the police, who decided not to pursue the matter.

Girls 2 Ladies to premeire on Dec 5

By TERENCE MISELO

THE Owas Film Production in partnership with Old Age Pictures are set to premeire a movie dubbed ‘ Girls 2 Ladies’. This is an Ivory van der Boom written film and it will take place at Sterkenikor in Lusaka.

The movie is designed to highlight various issues surrounding school going children especially drug abuse.

It is a kind of film that will make you reflect on what your children are doing in school.

Synopsis Girls 2 Ladies is a film that draws attention to the growing drug problem in Zambian schools where drugs are increasingly being consumed. Hard drugs like crack cocaine and heroin.

The problem has gone far beyond cannabis, cigarettes and petrol sniffing.

Worst of all, the problem is present among children as young as 13. The Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) highlighted the issue of drugs in boarding schools which is where the inspiration for Girls 2 Ladies came

from.

Girls 2 Ladies, directed and created by awardwinning director and actor Owas Ray Mwape and written by Holland-based Zambian writer Ivory van der Boom also aims to explore some of the reasons why children end up doing drugs. These include issues in the home, child abuse, sexual abuse, peer pressure, anxiety and depression.

Drug abuse has long-term effects, both for the young person abusing drugs and for society as a whole.

Featuring Sophie Mbao, Taonga Phiri, Chimwemwe Zulumeta Tshamala, Mooka Sibbuku, Mutinta Hachuma and Owas Ray Mwape, Girls 2 Ladies symbolically aims to show how the abuse of drugs at school can impact and destroy the future of our children.

As a nation, we must talk about this now. Once drugs take a hold of our schools, they will devastate our communities and bring our country to its knees. If that happens, nothing short of a miracle will save us.

We want more for our children, we want more for their futures and we want more for our country.

HE trendy PR agency is scheduled to host the Penthouse Party in Windhoek, Namibia on the 26th of March 2021.

According to a media statement, the PR Girl Media has announced that it will expand into the Namibian industry in 2021.

The Agency hit the Zambian market with a bang in 2016 when it introduced the popular Lusaka July as its flagship event. The com-

pany led by the sister-duo Chishimba and Monde Nyambe has since established five annual events; Champagne Picnic, Family Picnic, Lusaka July and the Penthouse Party.

The PR agency specialised in premium and lifestyle branding this year has already hosted the Lusaka July and the Beerville Oktoberfest in Lusaka during the Covid-19 pandemic. This according to the statement is proof that the Zambian market has a solid appreciation for the unique experiences PR Girl Media has to

offer.

“We are in awe of the brand loyalty that our consumers exercised this year especially during the most difficult time for the entertainment industry. We witnessed brand trust from the public and even more confidence from the authorities to host events safely during a public health crisis”, stated Chishimba Nyambe Managing Partner of PR Girl Media.

With most regional events in 2020 going digital, PR Girl Media utilised the time during lockdown to understand the dynamic audience of

Southern Africa. “The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has left the world more connected than ever, there has never been a better time for us to branch into other markets than now” said Monde Nyambe Managing Partner of PR Girl Media.

The Penthouse Party 2021 will be held in Windhoek on the 26th of March and in Lusaka on the 18th of December in 2021. Interested corporates and individuals can find further details via the PR Girl Media social platforms which will now target both markets.

By TERENCE MISELO THE highly anticipated Zambian movie ' Black Dollar' by Kazadi Films and Hot Media House successfully premeired at an exclusive red carpet and screening session held at Lusaka's Government Complex a week ago.

The premeire, filled with pomp, class and splendor, was mainly attended by key players in the Zambian entertainment and business circles.

Graced by Minister of Information and Broadcasting, Dora Siliya, the premeire also unveiled some of the cast members of the David Kazadi directed movie. ' Black Dollar' depicts a common story of street life, culture and illegal deals in Lusaka and Copperbelt including the illegal production of US dollars on the black market.

' Ba Robbie' Nonde, Henry BJ Phiri, Leo Simukoko, Nasilele, Nelly Munamonga and Topsy Sikalinda to name only a few.

The film has received positive feedback from a good number of people that watched it on the premeire night. The Daily Nation Lifestyle shares some of the views from local celebrities and players in the film industry. What's your share of the 'Black Dollar'? " It's a very good film in it's own right and it is dipicting a certain part of story that has been told, which is brilliant.

The camera work, production design is brilliant. The only thing that I feel should have been done better is the scripting but I must say the director was very brilliant with his work, he was very good," said Owas Ray Mwape, a filmmaker

and director. " I can tell that he is a very good director because I feel that there were challenges in that script but he streamlined it and did a good job." " The whole choreography of the film was well-cordinated, I had a bit of a problem with the lighting but above all, it was a great production." Monde Mutale aka Mr Nguzu. " It has a good story. They excuted it very were. The actors were brilliant, they had a very good cast. The ambience of this place ( Government Complex) affected some of the issues like lighting and sound.

I think they should have taken it to a cinema for us to appreciate it fully. But all in all, we are getting there as country. They did a good job," Robby Nyirenda- actor and filmmaker. " All in all, I love the movie.

The camera work, the scenes, the sites the movement. It was a very professional. The picture quality was on point. I am proud to where the Zambian film is going. Big up to Kazadi

Films." Musician and actor CQ. " In the first place, let me say job well done. The guys put up splendid work. As a filmmaker, we expected more and the guys put together what they could. They did a good job.

The blending of old guys and new guys was excellent. They have done a premeire that has beaten the rest. They have set the bar." Malumba MalumbaFilmmaker. " This movie is a game changer. It's really set the bar high, it's like now nobody can do anything less than this. This means progress in the whole industry. I love the movie. The biggest strength is how the story was told. It was not in the usual way of moving from A to B but it was told from A to C then back to B in that way. The editing was brilliant."

Actor Niko from Zuba. " To have people react positively to the movie is incredible. I can only say thank you to everyone who turned out. I am humbled." David Kazadi, film director of the Black Dollar.

INCE 2002, COMACO - Community Markets for Conservation, has been reforming poachers and empowering them with skills such as conservation farming, bee keeping, carpentry, poultry farming and bricklaying as alternative and sustainable livelihoods.

According to the organization’s communications and outreach specialist Peter Banda, over 1700 reformed poachers have become productive members of their communities and are now earning legal income from various sources.

We realized that once poachers completed their jail sentences, they went straight back to poaching.

It became clear that poverty and food insecurity were the main drivers behind illegal poaching among people who live in game management areas. By providing people with alternative livelihoods, we have been able to reduce poaching as it is no longer the only choice people have.

COMACO provides its skills to poachers who are willing to be reformed and hand over their muzzle loaders and wire snares used in poaching. To date, poachers have voluntarily surrendered 2000 illegal firearms and over 80 000 snares.

Mr. Banda adds, “We have also trained some of our reformed poachers to help protect crop fields from elephant destruction. Under the supervision of the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, they use their old muzzle-loading guns to blast chili at elephants that come near crop fields.”

Chili has been used to keep elephants at bay as it has unpalatable to the crop-raiding mammals for decades. The chili used in the blasters does not cause lasting harm to elephants, it simply irritates them and forces them to leave the area. In addition to protecting food crops from elephant destruction, chili is a valuable cash crop that gives the reformed poachers an extra income.

Last month, COMACO’s poacher reformation programme reached another milestone as it supported the formation of the TRANSFORMED POACHERS ASSOCIATION OF ZAMBIA, which will look at the welfare of its members and help reform people who are still engaged in poaching.

COMACO REFORMED POACHERS FORM ASSOCIATION

“This initiative is the first of its kind in Zambia, Africa and the world”, says Peter Banda.

He adds, “The Association will be an important ally to the Department of National Parks and Wildlife and others involved in conserving wildlife as members of the Association were once hardcore poachers, so they know all tricks that current poachers are using.”

The Association’s chairman, Mr. Smoke Phiri, also has high hopes. The formation of the Transformed Poachers Association will give us authority to sensitize our communities on the im-

portance of conserving natural resources like wildlife and forests. We will also use this platform to appeal to others who are still involved in poaching to surrender their firearms and snares so that they can be empowered with a sustainable livelihood.

The newly formed association will promote a peer-driven transformation of poachers into good and productive citizens that will positively contribute to national development. Success in this regard will result in reduced poaching of elephants and other important species in the Luangwa valley ecosystem.

The Association will also give hope to current poachers that if they reform, they too can have a meaningful and productive life void of the dangers they face in the wild, because though poachers are perceived to be tough and formidable, in reality poaching is a dangerous business.

“Tracking wildlife in the bush requires that villagers leave their families for weeks at a time, traveling miles away from safety, and often risking encounters with wildlife, faulty firearms, or apprehension. If caught, a poacher can spend decades in prison, leaving his family vulnerable to hunger and exploitation without a reliable income source.” COMACO.

Rwandan fined, deported for illegal stay

By MULENGA MUSONDA

A

RWANDAN convicted of being in the country without proper documentation must be deported, ruled the Choma Magistrate’s Court.

In the dock was 27-year-old Mukundete Efuta, of Rustero district in Rwanda who was facing one count of unlawful

stay in the country contrary to the Immigrations and Deportations Act of the Laws of Zambia.

Particulars of the offence are that Efuta on August 10, 2020 in Choma being a Rwandan national failed to legalise his stay in Zambia as required by Law. When he appeared for plea before Resident magistrate Salie Kanunka, Efuta willingly ad-

mitted the charge against him and pleaded with the court to send him back to Rwanda.

According to the facts dictated by Public Prosecutor Gerald Tembo, Efuta was apprehended in Chitongo area during a routine patrol by the Department of Immigration.

The facts revealed that Efuta illegally entered Zambia through the Nakonde Border Post without documentations.

Bicycle thief gets two-year jail term

By MULENGA MUSONDA A 47-YEAR-OLD in Choma will toil for 24 months for stealing a bicycle valued at K2, 500.

Evans Hangandu, a resident of Zambia Compound was convicted by Resident Magistrate Salie Kanunka when he pleaded guilty to the charge of theft.

Particulars of the offence are that Hangandu on November 11, in Choma stole a bicycle valued at K2, 500 the property of Buumba Miyanda.

When he appeared for plea before the Choma Magistrates Court, Hangandu admitted the charge against him butadded that he mistakenly took thebBicycle because he was in a drunken state.

Following his explanation, Magistrate Kanunka recorded a plea of not guilty. Hangandu insisted that he stole the bicycle and asked that the charge be read to him for the second time.

When it was read for the second time, he admitted to steal-

ing the bicycle and stated that his intentions were to start using it.

According to the facts stated by Senior Public Prosecutor Alex Syulikwa, the suspect was apprehended by school pupils on the very day as he sped off with the stolen bicycle.

Despite being a first offender and pleading guilty, Magistrate Kanunka said, she would be failing in her duties if she left him unpunished. She sentenced him to 24 months imprisonment with hard labour.

In passing the sentence Magistrate Kanunka granted the accused person’s wish of being returned to his country.

She ordered that he be deported within 60 days after paying his K3, 000 fine.

Ms Kamunka ordered that should he fail to pay the fine, he would serve seven months simple imprisonment after which he should be deported to Rwanda.

Voter registration rolled out amidst hitches Dear Editor,

Extension of voter registration is inevitable Dear Editor,

T

HE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is currently conducting the voter registration exercise throughout the country.

It is targeting to register nine million voters in one month.

Looking at the slow pace the exercise is moving, the ECZ might not achieve its goal of capturing nine million voters. The registration exercise has been characterised by some hitches such as inadequate manpower at some registration centres for instance.

When the registration exercise commenced, it used to take too long to register one person although there is quite some remarkable improvement.

The ECZ has increased the number of operating hours at the polling stations; the closing time at the polling stations is 22:00 hours. On the other hand, the voter registration at civic centres across the country will now be 24 hours in a bid to capture as many people as possible.

Given the current scenario, it is unlikely that ECZ will

THE first phase of the voter registration process has now been rolled out to all areas with a few challenges. The response from the people is encouraging as it shows how informed Zambians are on their rights and responsibilities to take part in public affairs.

There are reports that some people using the name of the party have illegally and forcibly taken over the voter registration centres. We have been with a number of party officials and they have expressed ignorance authorising any members to take over the registration centres.

Clearly, this development shows that individuals masquerading as party members are not legitimate at all but just in the habit of using the name of the party to get away with criminal acts.

While their motive is unknown, we wish to remind followers of public affairs that PF under President Edgar Lungu has promoted institutional independence of the institutions of governance and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is not an exception.

While it is in the interest of political players to safeguard their interests, such interests should not undermine the institutional independence and values of the ECZ. If need be, there are procedures of accrediting or seconding of the stakeholders if they wish to take part in the process.

We are not aware whether there is any directive from the chain of command to authorise political actors to assume the role of the ECZ. President Lungu continues to show his commitment to promote free and fair elections.

Therefore such irrational behaviour by some criminally-minded individuals using the name of the party is utmost falsehood and disproportionate to the efforts made by the President.

We therefore urge the public to be alert for such individuals and they can ef-

fect a citizen’s arrest on them and handover then to police.

Crime knows no political affiliations.

The efforts of stakeholders should not substitute the efforts of legitimate Constitutional institutions.

We urge the police to be firm and restore law and order in the polling centres as their inactivity is aiding the negative public perception on the independence of ECZ. Therefore, the fragrant disrespect of public institutions cannot be claimed to be part of mobilisation initiatives but an act of lawlessness which has no place in a peace loving Zambia. Moreover, the process is a nonpartisan process which should not have any place.

We have been guided by Deputy PF Secretary General Mumbi Phiri that if indeed they are PF cadres they should cease holding out themselves and hijacking the role of ECZ. If indeed they are members, we see no reason how they would disobey lawful orders from the deputy secretary general.

We also wish to reassure Zambians that ECZ will be given the necessary space to operate freely without the unwarranted harassment from any cross section of society.

While we are disturbed by the reports from Lusaka, we urge other stakeholders such as UPND to also do their part to take their overzealous supporters within their alleged strongholds.

In the past, during the issuance of NRCs, we heard of the invasion of the centres and in some instances Government employees were harassed.

Depoliticising this is therefore a responsibility of all stakeholders. The cadres will therefore do President Edgar Lungu justice by detaching themselves from this as he has done enough home work to win a free and fair elections.

MARVIN CHANDA MBERI, Youth Rights Activist, Lusaka.

Putting country first

register the nine million voters within a month. The voter registration exercise will end on December 12. When this is done, the targeted nine million voters will be captured.

To reach the targeted number of voters, there is need for the electoral body to intensify sensitisation on the impor-

tance of voting. It is good that ECZ will soon employ more people to improve efficiency during the registration period.

The people who have obtained the national registration cards are eligible to register as voters and they should do so.

To crown it all, the exten-

sion of the voter registration exercise is inevitable and it is the way to go if nine million voters are to be registered.

Otherwise, the target of registering the required number of voters will turn out to be a mere academic exercise. The slogan is, "register to vote."

ELEMIYA PHIRI, Lusaka.

Dear Editor, AS Economics Association of Zambia, we have just held a very successful economic “indaba” at the Quorum in Lusaka.

Great thanks goes to the Chamber of Mines, Mr Trevor Hambayi, Mr Mutisunge Zulu (EAZ National Secretary), Mr Highvie Hamududu, Mr Antony Mumba, NCC CEO Mr Mathew Ngulube, Mr Frank Mutubila, Mr Costa Mwansa, Bank CEOs, ambassadors, foreign dignitaries, Dr Pollen, Mr Peni Mwamba, various scholars, industry captains, government officials and many other people that attended our inaugural “indaba.”

This is the first step towards creating a better and nontoxic country narrative where stakeholders exchange views in our country.

Our next activity will feature a closed door economic forum hosting political party stakeholders aimed at improving the narrative and discourse currently being experienced by the country.

Going towards the 2021 elections, we shall promote as an association a mature narrative aimed at showcasing a battle of ideas and not mediocrity amongst stakeholders.

DR LUBINDA HAABAZOKA, EAZ President.

Ndola.

A brace from midfield genius Kelvin Mubanga Kampamba propelled Zesco to seven points, on par with Green Buffaloes, Prison Leopards, Power Dynamos and Red Arrows who are also on seven points.

Kampamba broke the deadlock in the 66th minute before completing his brace in the second minute of injury time.

The win was a big relief for Numba Mumamba who guided Zesco to a win, a draw and a loss in the first three games where the Ndola giants scored only two goals.

At Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka, Red Arrows suffered their first loss of the season Daka following a 1-0 beating by Power Dynamos in a tightly contested fixture.

Mumba from a long range free kick in the 52nd minute as Dynamos bounced back from last week’s defeat to Buildcon FC. In the Lusaka derby at Edwin Imboela Stadium, Green Buffaloes and Nkwazi shared the spoils after a goalless stalemate.

After humiliating Nkana 5-0 in midweek, Buffaloes failed to find the back of the net but maintained their unbeaten record after five rounds of matches played in the Super Division.

At Sunset Stadium, Lusaka Dynamos gave up a 1-0 lead to draw 1-1 with Lumwana Radiants.

Dominic Chungwa scored in the dying minutes of the game and cancelled out Ocean Mushure's 77th minute goal which had given Lusaka Dynamos the lead.

Meanwhile, in the early kickoff of the double header at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium, Indeni punished Prison Leopards 1-0 thanks to Graven Chitalu's 27th minute strike.

The win escalated Indeni to Indeni to ninth on the 18team super division table with five points from one win, two draws and one loss.

Today's league action will see Nkana seeking redemption when they host Zanaco at Nkana Stadium in Kitwe.

ZAMBIA Under-17 men’s national team coach George Chilufya says he is not disturbed by the change in the 2020 COSAFA Men’s Under-17 championship fixtures after COSAFA announced the disqualification of Botswana, Co m o ro s

Islands, Eswatini and Zimbabwe from the championship.

Cosafa changed the playing format from groups to round-robin after Botswana, Comoros Islands, Eswatini and Zimbabwe were disqualified for age cheating.

The new fixtures will see the Young Chipolopolo, hosts South Africa, Angola and Malawi compete for the youth title and the two Under-17 Africa Cup of Nations slots.

The Young Copper Bullets who beat Comoros 2-0 on Friday will begin their Campaign

at the youth tournament with a tie against Angola while their win against Comoros has been cancelled as the tournament is set to start afresh. Chilufya who described the 2-0 win over Comoros as a good warm-up said the boys are in the right mood having played Comoros who gave them an insight of what other teams are thinking about Zambia.

Meanwhile, Under-17 captain Miguel Chaiwa said despite the change in fixtures, the team’s target remains the same, to defend the title and qualify for the youth AFCON in Cameroon.

years.

He said that this below par performance could only be overcome if the national team players were being transitioned from a strategic base.

"You cannot disband the whole team and bring in a new crop of players and expect positive results overnight," he said.

Munaile was opposed to the disbanding of a whole crop of old players without allowing for smooth transition where the old are blended with the new. He said that a smooth transition means that progression and exit must be a natural phenomenon.

Munaile who is also FAZ aspiring president also said the administration of football had a bearing on the performance of the national team.

He advised that national team coaches must be given enough time to build talent.

He sympathised with the current Chipolopolo coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojević for the situation he finds himself in.

He said that the coach must be given time because he came in at a time when the national team was already in a precarious situation in the AFCON qualifiers.

He stated that building a national team takes years and cannot be an overnight miracle and as such “Micho” must be given enough time to build a team he would be comfortable to work with.
