ENFORCE 20PC SUBCONTRACTS STRICTLY - LUNGU

By AARON CHIYANZO in Mpika

Tel: +260 211 243527

Plot No. 5251B Mukwa Road, Heavy Industrial Area. P.O. Box 34553, Lusaka Email: dailynation@ymail.com www.dailynation.info

ADJUST MIND-SET THAT the Covid-19 infection rate has become rapid should send a clear message for all citizens to take precautionary measures to the hilt.

The message has spread across the country about the impact of the second wave of the pandemic, what with the death of prelates, Bishop Moses Hamungole of Monze Diocese, Father Charles Chilinda of St Ignatius parish and Father Patrick Muyenga.

In Muchinga Province, the disease claimed Chief Mukwikile of Shiwang’andu.

Such a debilitating record should compel the public to star adhering to the Covid-19 guidelines, which include masking up in public places, avoiding crowded areas, social distancing and regular washing of hands.

Alas, people have to be forced to wear masks, meaning they are being forced to protect themselves against contracting the deadly disease which is claiming lives in succession.

While large supermarkets and commercial banks have maintained a grip on preventive measures, public transport operators have continued plying the routes with defiant passengers.

In fact, the bus crews are the culprits as they usually leave the masks dangling from the chins while carelessly allowing unmasked passengers on their buses.

In Ndola, a story is told of a young couple that gets mocked after jumping on a bus, which meanders out of Mulungushi station.

Some passenger pokes fun at the young woman and her husband for wearing masks, covering their noses and mouths and ears, as other unmasked passengers join the laughter.

Yes, they may have looked funny with masks which extend to the ears, but certainly they were merely following the guidelines to safeguard their lives and those of the grinning passengers who were unmasked.

In crowded markets, traders and their customers interact without masks while others have continued with handshakes, further spreading the disease.

People have failed to break the tradition of gathering in funeral houses, a fertile ground for the spread of this pandemic.

This is where people are hugging as they console each other and shaking their hands, as avoiding to do so, one could be branded a rude person during such a solemn occasion There is a warning doing the rounds that each person must treat whoever they meet as an infected person.

All in all, it is not lack of information that is causing such negative attitude, but a negative mindset too difficult to adjust to the “new normal.”

A mind-set which does not adjust even in the face of the rising death toll is very dangerous!

The grim statistics are coming out consistently from the Ministry of Health and beamed on different television channels, but this is not helping much.

One is inclined to think that, perhaps, the Bowman Lusambo formula of whipping defiant citizens could be more effective, even as it would raise an outcry.

It is time Zambia adjusted their lifestyle to embrace all the health guidelines as they relate to Covid-19 prevention.

If the rising trend continues, President Edgar Lungu will be forced to impose stringent measures.

Please comply!

HE 20 percent subcontracting policy must be strictly implemented to improve businesses for local contractors, President Edgar Lungu has said.

President Lungu expressed happiness that Government was coming up with strict guidelines to ensure that the subcontracting policy was adhered to.

He was speaking at the ground breaking ceremony for the construction of the $17 million Water Supply and Sanitation Infrastructure under the Integrated Small

Towns Water Supply and Sanitation Project for Mpika and Nakonde in Mpika yesterday.

Minister of Water Development and Sanitation, Raphael Nakacinda told the President that strict measures had been put in place to ensure that local contractors benefit 20 percent of the works.

President Lungu said it was commendable that the 20 percent subcontracting policy would be respected and adhered to on the project.

“This will improve businesses for our local contactors,” he said.

And President Lungu said Government was committed to improving water supply and

sanitation across the country.

He said the target was for all to have access to clean and safe water by 2030.

President Lungu said once the project was complete, water access in Mpika would improve from 45 percent to 100 percent.

He said water supply hours would increase from only 11 hours to 24 hours.

President Lungu said 650 direct and indirect jobs would be created by the project.

“Diseases such as cholera that always hit this place will be a thing of the past with improved water supply and sanitation quality,” he said.

Meanwhile, Mr Nakacinda said from

the $11 million allocated for Mpika, $2.2 million worth of works would be allocated to local contractors.

Mr Nakacinda said Government was on a journey to improve water supply and sanitation in small towns that had been grappling with water challenges.

And Muchinga Province Permanent Secretary, Joyce Bwacha Nsamba thanked Government for swiftly attending to the water challenges in the region.

A representative of the contractor, China State Construction Engineering Corporation, Chen Xiao Bo said the works would be completed in 18 months.

FODEP calls for peace ahead of 2021 polls THE Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has asked political party leaders to inculcate a non-violence culture in their members.

FODEP vice president Mike Mushanga said there was also need for political parties to make youths adopt a peaceful behaviour during this year’s general elections.

Mr. Mushanga said political parties should not manipulate people especially youths by using them as tools of violence.

He said that youths are susceptible to manipulation by politicians especially during elections.

He said Zambians should also at individual level ensure that they do not involve themselves in violent activities during the forthcoming elections slated for August 12, 2021.

"There is need for all political parties to be peaceful as we should not allow what happened in 2006 and 2016 to repeat itself as the country went through so much violence," he said.

Mr. Mushanga added that there is need

to campaign peacefully and political parties should conduct their gatherings in a peaceful manner for sanity to prevail.

He has since urged all stakeholders to continue preaching peace and unity in the forthcoming elections as this is the only way violence can be prevented.

"Let us continue preaching peace and unity in our country and people need to realise that elections come and go but peace is inevitable in our country," he said.

Mr. Mushanga further said Zambians must be sensitised about the importance of peaceful elections so that people avoid any violent acts.

"It is high time that we started reminding our people about the need to hold peaceful elections especially our youths.

Our youths are vulnerable as they tend to be used as tools of political violence that's why we need to end this and this should start with our politicians. Let us work together to attain peaceful elections, Zambia is for all," Mr. Mushanga said. ZANIS.

Govt to address TAZARA delayed salaries

By AARON CHIYANZO GOVERNMENT says it will address delays in payments for TAZARA workers’ salaries and obligations to retirees.

President Edgar Lungu said he would sit with Minister of Transport and Communication, Mutotwe Kafyaya and seek a progressive way forward for TAZARA. This follows concerns from the Mpika Pastors Fellowship that TAZARA workers had continued to cry over delayed salaries and that retirees had also not been paid.

President Lungu expressed concern that issues of TAZARA workers and retirees had not been addressed. This was during a meeting with the clergy in Mpika yesterday.

He observed that this was causing a lot of misery and poverty among communities that depended on the railway firm.

President Lungu assured the pastors that challenges to do with TAZARA would be resolved.

"Whenever I come here, I find issues of TAZARA but when I go back to Lusaka I am told a different thing. But I will sit down with the minister so that we can sort out these issues," he said.

Earlier, President Lungu held a meeting with Chief Chikwanda, Chief Kabanda,

Chief Chibesakunda, Chief Nabwalya, Chief Mukungule, Chief Mpumba and Chief Chiundaponde.

President Lungu advised the chiefs to make submissions to the Electoral Commission of Zambia if they wanted their constituencies delimitated.

This follows an outcry from the chiefs that Mpika constituency was too big for all corners to receive a meaningful share of the Constituency Development Fund.

President Lungu said it was only the ECZ that could handle delimitation issues other than pronouncements made in the constitution.

He also said government would look at how the CDF could be increased as the money in question helps communities a lot. And the chiefs praised President Lungu for his transformation agenda, saying it had not left any area behind.

Chief Chikwanda said there was clear evidence that the PF Government had delivered development.

"When you look at the period in which PF has been at the helm of government and the projects it has been undertaking, clearly the PF is rated the best among all governments," Chief Chikwanda said.

He said PF deserved another mandate to complete existing projects and add more.

‘Patrick Mucheleka has no direction’

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI UPND Deputy Secretary General, Patrick Mucheleka is just a bitter person who has no influence and qualities of a leader, former North-Western Province PF chairperson Jackson Kungo has charged.

Mr Kungo Mr Mucheleka was in the habit of making sentiments against the PF and President Edgar Lungu.

Reacting to Mr Mucheleka’s recent sentiment against President Lungu, Mr Kungo said the UPND official’s rantings did not represent the will of the people.

“All in all, Mr Mucheleka is just a bitter Bemba who has failed to garner support for his party in the Bemba blok,” he said.

He said President Lungu is still very popular and that he is going to win with a landslide come August 12 Mr Kungo said Government had delivered development to all parts of the country which was why people would still vote for President Lungu.

“And currently, there is no opposition that can unseat President Lungu, so Mr Mucheleka and his party should brace for another political embarrassment come August,” he added.

He said nothing would stop the majority of the people from voting for President Lungu as he has performed to their expectations. Mr Kungo urged people to ignore politicians like Mr Mucheleka who have no direction.

IMF TALKS SET NOTHING SCANDALOUS OVER From Page 1 Mr Yamba said this follows a request by Government for a formal programme with the IMF, and a high level visit to the country by the Fund delegations last year which was led by the IMF Director African Department, Abebe Aemro Salassie.

He said the virtual discussions would be held from February 11 to March 3, 2021.

“The programme discussions will centre on the government’s objective to attain fiscal and debt sustainability and on key pillars in the Economic Recovery Report, scaling up social protection programmes and undertaking the much needed reforms in agriculture and energy.

“The ministry of Finance will keep the nation updat-

ed on the programme discussions during the virtual meetings and subsequent step forward.

“On the part of Government, this is a national priority and has support at the highest level,” Mr Yamba said in a statement yesterday.

Mr Yamba said in line with the need to stabilise the economy and gain traction on its reform agenda, Government as espoused in the ERP and prior approvals had prioritised having a formal programme with the IMF. This, he said, was in addition to the routine surveillance by the IMF under Article IV which Zambia a party.

“In line with this commitment, the Finance Minister formally made a request for programme discussions with the Fund in November 2020,” Mr Yamba said.

Keep fake drugs out of Zambia, Minister prods ZAMRA From Page 1 And the Minister of Health, Dr Jonas Chanda has said Government would engage its legal team to investigate and prosecute those who were involved in the supply of defective and substandard drugs.

“We have 70 percent genuine medicines on the market while the other 30 percent is a kind of a black mafia system. So ZAMRA you have to up your game to prevent that 30 percent of substandard drugs from coming into our market,” he said.

Dr. Chanda said ZAMRA had to focus on prevention by ensuring all the drugs that come in are tested and not the tendency of recalling drugs when they have already harmed the public.

STATE agencies should probe the reported recruitment of civil servants for clandestine activities by the Socialist Party as this amounts to state capture, Inter-Africa Governance Network (AFRINET) has said AFRINET has also accused the Socialist Party of copromising civil servants and which has been described as being tantamount to State capture. And AFRINET executive director, Maurice Malambo has called on the Public Service Commission to iden-

done by ZAMRA alone but would have to be done in a multi-sectorial manner by engaging other bodies such as the Immigration and the Zambia Police.

Dr. Chanda has also given a one-week ultimatum to Medical Stores Limited and ZAMRA to submit a report indicating how many substandard medical supplies t have been recalled.

He said he will not tolerate anything that would harm the people and that punitive measures need to be imposed on all those involved in supply of such medical products.

Dr Chanda said he would soon sign the commencement order that will see the procurement function moved from the Ministry of Health to MSL to be called The Zambia Medicines and Medical Supplies Agency.

He said there was need for Zambia to start manufacturing its drugs to avoid being taken advantage of saying, “56 years after independence is uncalled for.”

MARCOPOLO PURCHASE - IDC From Page 1

And IDC Group Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mateyo Kaluba has clarified that the $44.8 million payment by IDC, NAPSA and WCFCB was made to the company and to the original shareholders to buy off the 49 percent shares and for expansion of the company not as a bribe. Help them settle down to accommodate the entry of new shareholders, and not as bribe to buy shares.

In an interview, Mr Kaluba said contrary to what the News Diggers reported, the valuation was transparently done by independent professionals before the corporation bought shares.

The enterprise valuation of Marcopolo Tiles Company Ltd done by the experts was $127.5 million while our purchase consideration was at a discount of 28 percent following successful negotiations.

Further the net asset valuation of the company was $207.1 million which means that we negotiated a 56 percent discount when compared to the agreed consideration.

Mr Kaluba explained that the investment opportunity was received by the IDC by way of direct invitation to consider the prospectus that was offering up to 49 percent shares of Marcopolo Tiles Company Limited.

He said the prospectus in-

cluded standard valuation methods used to value a going concern entity including discounted future cash flows, earnings and multiple bases of valuation as per best practice.

Mr Kaluba reiterated that in August 2020, the IDC, NAPSA and Workers Compensation Fund Control Board (WCFCB) partnered to acquire shareholding of 49 percent in Marcopolo Tiles Company Ltd at a cost of $44.8 million following a comprehensive due diligence and independent valuation.

“To say a transaction is questionable, that is a malicious misrepresentation of the facts because the IDC receives many invitations to consider investments in various sectors by virtue of being the commercial investment arm of the government. Specifically, the prospectus invited us as IDC, the prospectus also invited ZCCM-IH, NAPSA and Workers Compensation Fund Control Board (WCFCB). So, IDC, NAPSA and WCFCB worked in partnership to consider the investment opportunity,” he said.

He said valuation and accompanying assessments were all documented and verified, and cross checked against independent sources such as audited accounts and asset valuations.

Mr Kaluba Meanwhile, Mr Kaluba has expressed shock by reports that $44.8 million was paid to two Chinese nationals as a bribe to buy a minority stake in the tile-making company when the payment was made to the company and to the original shareholders.

He said “the IDC is not in the business of bribes. We have a mandate to industrialise this country and we take that mandate seriously. We will continue to invest in greenfield and brownfield projects that add value to Zambia’s natural resources.”

Mr Kaluba said there was nothing sinister about the IDC to invest in a private company because it was not precluded from investing in companies that are not publicly listed.

We don’t restrict forex market - BoZ

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

THE Bank of Zambia (BoZ) says it does not restrict the quantity of foreign exchange customers can buy from their banks.

It does not therefore enforce any foreign exchange controls which restrict the amount of forex a customer may buy from their bank and consequently leading to fuel shortages.

The central bank said in a statement that it is not true it is pursuing any regulations intended to restrict the flow of foreign exchange in the country.

"To the contrary, the BoZ has continued to support the foreign exchange market during the current period when supply has been constrained due to economic challenges being faced by the Zambian economy and the global economy, especially in the wake of Covid-19 pandemic," the statement said.

BoZ explained that under the current foreign exchange market arrangements, commercial banks are designed as authorised dealers through the Interbank Foreign Exchange Market (IFEM) system.

It said Bureax de Change were also allowed to deal in retail cash transactions with

customers.

"Under the IFEM, the role of the Bank is to intervene by buying and/or selling foreign exchange to support the market in events of adverse exchange rate movements, which typically arise with material mismatches in demand and supply.

"This is achieved by BoZ directly transacting with local commercial banks who have all been designated as authorised dsalers," BoZ said.

The Bank said it on a daily basis, monitored foreign exchange market pressure points and constantly liaised with commercial banks to moderate exchange rate vola-

He stated that the S$20, 679, 000 purchase price for 22.6 percent was arrived at through a process of rigorous negotiations.

“The starting point was the independent valuation that was incorporated in the Issue Prospectus. This valuation was subjected to due diligence and thorough analysis which saw the final negotiated price end at 28.24 percent lower than the prospectus valuation,” he said.

Mr Kaluba also said the IDC was motivated to buy shares in Marcopolo Tiles Company as a way of enhancing its investments as well as promoting industrialisation, job creation, value addition, import substitution and desire to support the Zambian economy to grow.

Besides, he said, our interest in investing in Marcopolo Tiles Company emanates from its unique place as the only tile manufacturing plant apart from South Africa, and the value chain the company provides is of interest to us.

“Marcopolo is a highly profitable company with net profit margins averaging 40 percent over the last three years and this new production line guarantees the IDC and our partners NAPSA and WCFCB greater dividends over the coming years,” Mr Kaluba said.

country largely in Luapula, Muchinga and Northern provinces is in receipt of repeated credible reports to the effect that the Socialist Party is mobilising itself and generating young voters in schools and health facilities largely through the teacher unions, the hardest hit being Shiwan’gandu and Mpika.”

Mr Malambo who said the conduct was tantamount to State capture, urged the law

enforcement agencies to urgently probe the matter.

“This conduct is a representation of State capture in which a sector of the government department is compromised regards its mandate to advance an agenda of private individuals and such kind of politics are not only invasive to the stability and functionality of the civil service, but also the rights of the citizens who are supposed to be the benefi-

ciaries of the none-interfered services from the government of the day,” he said.

Therefore, he added, as an organization, our clarion call is that the Public Service Commission, other relevant government authorities and the trade unions should engage in identifying such politically inclined civil servants and weed them out of the public sector forthwith. Mr Malambo has also advised all the civil ser-

tility.

It however said there was a limit of US$5, 000 for over the counter daily cash withdrawals at commercial banks and a limit of US$1, 000 cash transactions amount per customer at Bureaux de Change.

vants across the country to desist from engaging in active politics as it is an abrogation of the general orders that regulate the civil service.

He said civil servants who wish to engage in active politics must first resign as they were required to be non-partisan.

Mr Malambo also advised political parties to resist the temptation of using unorthodox means of generating votes because the erosion of professionalism in the civil service may be permanent and weaken the service delivery system of government, thereby compromising development.

‘WELL WISHERS PAYMENT OKAY’

By PETER SICHALI

T

HERE is nothing sinister about well-wishers paying for PF ex-ministers, former PF Muchinga Province chairperson Alex Simuwelu has said.

Mr Simuwelu said it was unfortunate that the opposition and their surrogates in Civil Society Organisations are preoccupied with non-important issues at the expense of national development.

Mr Simuwelu said it shows lack of direction for the same opposition which had demanded that ex ministers should refund their salaries earned prior to the 2016 elections when they had remained in office, were now busy questioning who had paid for the ministers.

"The current crop of the opposition is a disgrace because they focus so much on non-issues at the expense of providing the much needed checks and balances," Mr Simuwelu said.

He said it was important for the opposition to be objective as opposed to criticising everything Government was going.

Mr Simuwelu said it would be a big mistake for Zambians to vote for the opposition in this year's general election because they have nothing to offer to the nation.

"An opposition party is a government in waiting therefore it is expected that it behaves in a dignified manner and not what we

Mr Simuwelu “The current crop of the opposition is a disgrace because they focus so much on nonissues at the expense of providing the much needed checks and balances,” are seeing now where the opposition is preoccupied with propaganda and none issues," Mr Simuwelu said.

OMCs begin importation of petroleum products after zero rating VAT

By SIMON MUNTEMBA

OIL Marketing Companies (OMCs) have resumed the importation of petroleum products after effecting he recently zero-rated value-added tax on petroleum products by government, through the issuance of Statutory Instrument number 125 of 2020 with the effective date of January 1, 2021.

The development is also to effect the removal of excise duty on diesel and effecting the excise duty for petrol which was reduced from K2.07 per litre to K0.64 per litre.

In a statement issued to the media in Lusaka yesterday, the Ministry of Energy stated that the zero-rating of value-added tax and excise duty on petroleum products was in response to OMCs which had informed the government that the importation of fuel was not profitable and commercially not viable.

“The nation may wish to note that a quick check at our various border points has confirmed that the

trucks carrying the petroleum products are now crossing the border into the country. The government of Zambia, using a one-government approach zero-rated the value-added tax and removed excise duty on diesel and reduced on petrol as a measure to prevent a price increment on the products,” reads the statement in part.

The Ministry of Energy also indicated that savings due to the removal of the taxes was then redistributed to OMCs and dealers in line with the price buildup for petroleum products.

“The public, therefore, should not expect any pump price adjustment as the prices have been maintained as they are.

The Ministry of Energy will continue to work closely with the OMCs to ensure the stable supply of fuel into the country,” the statement reads, And the Ministry of Energy has announced that Indeni Petroleum Refinery will soon resume its operations as the government is finalising the financing arrangements with the supplier.

Sadist ZAF officer jailed for burning niece

By CHARLES MUSONDA

A ZAMBIA Air Force officer has been jailed six years for assaulting her 11-year-old niece by burning her with hot kitchen utensils and boiling water.

Lusaka Magistrate Nthandose Chabala yesterday jailed Lieutenant Mildred Luwaile, 33, of ZAF Twin Palm, who was charged with assaulting her sister’s daughter between March 25 and April 11, 2019.

Ms. Chabala said she had taken into account that Luwaile is a first offender but that the offence she committed was serious and for her to reform and deter wouldbe offenders she must serve six years in prison.

She said the offence carries a mandatory minimum sentence of five years imprisonment.

She found that the girl, who was initially living with her biological mother in Mpongwe before moving in with Luwaile in 2017, already had an injury on her knee when she ran away from the accused person’s and that the latter never took her to hospital.

Ms. Chabala also found that the victim had other multiple injuries on her back, chest, and abdomen and that the defence did not challenge evidence on the medical report.

She said evidence of the

medical report and other witnesses corroborated with the child’s testimony and that there was no doubt that her injuries were caused by force applied on her body using hot objects.

The court also found that an opportunity existed for Luwaile to assault the victim and that it was clear that the accused person did not seek medical treatment for the girl despite being aware of her wounds.

She said the pouring of hot water on the girl by the accused person was unlawful and that from totality of the evidence, the prosecution had proved the case beyond any reasonable doubt and found Luwaile guilty and convicted her as charged.

Prior to Luwaile’s arrest, the victim was seen in a video that went viral on Facebook and other social media platforms describing her ordeal.

She narrated that she used to sleep in the garage on a reed mat and that the accused person used a hot knife and spoon to abuse her.

She said Luwaile used to put the knife on the stove until it was red hot before pressing it on her body while her arms were tied.

The girl also said on another occasion Luwaile put a spoon on the stove, tied her legs, laid her on the floor and burnt her with the hot utensil.

ON’T silence the voice of the young people in the political dispensation of the country because besides being the majority voters, they are future leaders, opposition leaders advised.

Former UPND chairman for labour, Gabriel Namulambe said it was wrong for political leaders to demean the views of the youths that would want to ensure that the elections were free and fair through their participation in the electoral process.

Mr Namulambe in an interview advised all political leaders not to stand in the way of youths but embrace their divergent views on various national matters

including the electoral process.

“It's very wrong for political leaders to want to condemn the young people who would want to participate in ensuring that the elections are fair. As politicians we should not stand in the way of the young people,” he said He said that opposition political parties that were opposing the participation of young people in election monitoring had a hidden agenda and fear that their participation would work against the opposition’s selfish plans.

“Those opposing the participation of youths in monitoring the elections means that there is something that they scared about, “Because they are aware

Mr Namulambe that they are destined to lose the elections, why should they deny the youths to participate in the governance issues in ensuring that they monitor the elections, what is the worry of the opposition,” he wondered.

The former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs urged opposition political leaders to take a leaf from

President Edgar Lungu who has time and again encouraged youths to take up positions in the governance of the country.

William Banda, the UPND Presidential Advisor, demeaned the participation of youths whose coalition was planning to deploy about 22, 000 election monitors, during elections.

Muchinga province fights army worms Herbalist gets

By PETER SICHALI

MUCHINGA Province has received 13,000 litres of chemicals to use in the fight against fall army worms, Provincial Agricultural Coordinator (PACO) has said.

Dr Mulopa said the Ministry of Agriculture has since distributed the chemicals to all the nine districts in the province.

"As a province we are ready and prepared for any eventuality of disease and Army worms.

Of course, some district have reported cases of army worms which are adequately been addressed because farmers are already accessing the chemicals," Dr Mulopa said. He said

the Ministry had opened plant clinics in all the districts where farmers could access information on various diseases and pests.

Dr Mulopa said the farming communities were happy with the support they were receiving from Government.

Meanwhile, Dr Mulopa said the province is expected to record 15 per cent increase in maize production following early distribution of farming inputs and favourable rains the province was receiving.

Dr Mulopa said the province recorded 252,000 tonnes in 2019 and 394,000 tonnes in 2020 and was expected to record an increase by over 15 per cent.

AFRICA FERTILE FOR INVESTMENT, SAYS AFDB Saturday 25 April, 2020

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

A

FRICA remains fertile ground for investment, but much hinged on the continent’s ability to boost healthcare sector, says African Development Bank (AfDB) president, Akinwumi Adesina.

Dr Adesina said the continent offered ample opportunities in terms of natural resources, vast tracts of arable land, and a young and rapidly urbanising population.

The potential presented by the newly launched African Continental Free Trade Area was also highlighted

by Dr Adesina during the Africa Investment Conference, a virtual one-day event organized by the UK Department for International Trade.

Africa, he said still possessed the same fundamentals that had driven

Akinwumi Adesina

the continent’s phenomenal growth over the past decade.

“The fundamentals in those phenomenal growth rates in Africa are still there.

Africa still leads in terms of ease of doing business. It is very exciting, the digital explosion that you see in Africa today,” Dr Adesina said.

Africa’s economy shrank by 2.1 percent in 2020 and is expected to grow by 3.4 percent in 2021 as the global economy recovers from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Emma Wade-Smith, Her Majesty’s United Kingdom Trade Commissioner for Africa, was heartened to learn that 10 of the fastest-growing economies were still in Africa.

Her Majesty Smith observed that there was not enough awareness of how much innovation was happening in the region.

“There is an opportunity to blend African and UK innovation. I have been struck by how many opportunities there are,” she said.

Other participants included United Kingdom Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, Minister for Africa James Duddridge, Minister for Investment Gerry

Grimstone, as well as business leaders from Standard Bank, pharmaceuticals firm AstraZeneca and mobile operator Vodacom.

Mr Johnson earlier told the conference that although “many things have changed” since last year, “there is one thing I can tell you that has not changed: that is my ambition for the UK to be Africa’s investment partner.”

The conference follows last year’s successful UK-Africa Investment Summit, hosted in London by the Prime Minister, where 27 trade and investment deals worth £6.5 billion and commitments valued at £8.9 billion were announced.

At the time, Africa was home to eight of the world’s 15 fastest-growing economies amid a groundswell of optimism about its economic upswing.

UNIFI initiates unique products

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

UNIFI, previously known as Unity Finance, has committed to unlocking financial possibilities for customers through products and services.

Company Chief Executive Officer, Emil Paul, says Unifi was committed to unlocking financial possibilities for customers through products and services which were tailored to their needs.

Mr Paul said Unifi had continued to introduce convenient and easier methods of accessing finance for their clients.

He explained that the company had introduced a campaign called the “Excuse My Loan” competition which was one of the ways they were making life easy for clients.

“Unifi is committed to unlocking financial possibilities for customers through our products and services which are tailored to their

needs.

“The Excuse My Loan campaign is a way to give back to Unifi clients and to show our appreciation by easing their financial stress, especially in 2020, which has been a financially challenging year for most people,” he said.

He said the campaign, which was first introduced in 2019 when they were known as Unity Finance, offered clients the chance to have their loans forgiven live on radio.

“Excuse My Loan 2020 ran in two phases, in February to April and again from September to November.

“The popular competition was featured on top radio stations nationwide and led to a total amount of over K600,000 in Unifi loans excused,” Mr Paul said.

He said the success of the Excuse My Loan campaign was an indication of the growing customer base of Unifi, as the records showed that customer participation in the campaign was noted in eight provinces of the country.

Unifi, Mr Paul said, would continue the Excuse My Loan campaign in 2021 to amplify their commitment to making life easier for clients.

He said Unifi was also dedicated to improving accessibility of financial services with facilities such as their mobile app.

Choma bus station committee cries foul THE Choma main bus station committee has called on the local authority to quickly intervene in a matter where some buses are still operating from the central business district despite having a modern intercity station.

Speaking in an interview, Committee Vice Chairman Nigel Banda said he expects all buses to load from the new station which has been operational for almost a month now.

Mr. Banda complained that buses which are still operating in the central business district create unfair competition as some commuters prefer to board from the old stations.

“Those loading from town are taking most passengers.

Since we came here, we have been having few passengers,” Mr. Banda lamented.

But the Choma Municipal Council has already engaged business owners to ensure that all bus operators move to the new station.

Council Assistant Public Relations Manager Gisford Muleya disclosed that the local authority has already written to business owners requesting them not to allow buses to operate from their premises. He has emphasized that the new bus station is the only designated place for buses to operate from, adding that those working from somewhere else do it illegally.

He has since appealed to the Choma main bus station committee to exercise patience as the matter is being resolved.

“Our desire is to see everyone go to the new bus station and start loading from there because that is the only designated bus station. There is no one who is authorized to operate a bus station except the council,” Mr. Muleya stressed. -ZANIS

All Siavonga CDF projects completed

By ANDREW MUKOMA

SIAVONGA District has completed all the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) funded projects which had stalled from far back as 2013.

CDF Committee Chairperson, Lubinda Mubiana, said that a number of projects had stalled due to lack of funding.

Mr Mubiana, who is former Kariba Ward Councillor, said that after his committee was ushered into office in 2016, it focused on completing all the projects which had stalled before embarking on new initiatives.

He told the Daily Nation that the only projects that were yet to be completed were those that started last year.

Mr Mubiana mentioned that his committee had managed to meet the social needs of the

people by ensuring that key projects are completed.

"Since 2016, we have had 10 wards all together as Siavonga District and each funding that came has been spent on the projects that the committee has approved, based on the number of the wards.

"Our assignment as a committee was to complete the projects that were underfunded and we have so far completed a 1× 2 classroom block at Namajata that was funded in 2014, a staff house at Makaba Primary School, a Police Post at Changa which started in 2013, a 1×3 classroom block at Matuwa and many other projects," the CDF committee chairperson said.

He said that the committee has approved in the next funding, the construction of a health post at the fishing camps in Kariba Ward.

THE Livingstone City Council (LCC) will disinfect 17 primary and secondary schools to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 as the instititions re-open on February 1, 2021.

Council Public Relations

Mr Ndhlovu said that the project was being undertaken by two Chinese companies and was divided into two lots.

He said that 38.5 kms of the road was being worked on by China Henan International Cooperation Group Limited while 33.5 kms was being done by China State Construction Engineering

Corporation Limited.

He disclosed that lot one from Turnpike in Kafue to Chikankata was at 98 percent of completion while lot two from Chikankata to Mazabuka was at 15 percent of completion.

He clarified that the works were at different levels because the contractor working

on lot two started the works a year later.

Mr Ndhlovu was delighted that the rehabilitation works were already changing the face of the areas in between.

He therefore commended the two contractors for adhering to the contract requirements and for exhibiting quality works.

Manager, Melvin Mukela, told the Daily Nation that the exercise which started three days before the initial opening of January 18, was postponed and would resume next week.

Mr Mukela said that before the date was postponed, the local authority had already disinfected eight schools in the tourism capital.

"We started the exercise three days before the initial opening which was supposed to be on 18th January 2021.

But after the change of dates for the opening, we also suspended the disinfection exercise.

"The initial disinfection, we attended to eight schools.

We shall resume at least five

days before opening as we are only remaining with 9 schools as advised by DEBS' office," he said. Mr Mukela said that for the schools that were not on the list, school authorities would fumigate their classrooms on their own as they have the capacity to do so.

"Other schools will fumigate on their own because they have the capacity to do so. We have oriented them on how to go about the exercise and we have showed them the type of chemicals to buy.

“Therefore in total we shall disinfect only 17 schools. Note that if we shall receive any donation of chemicals we will extend the exercise even to other schools that are not on

this list," Mr Mukela said.

The targeted schools are Holy Cross Primary, Zambezi Primary, Dambwa Primary and Secondary, Mulwani Primary and Secondary, Nakatindi Primary, Maramba Primary, Shungu Primary and Secondary, Syanalumba Primary and Secondary and Christ the King Primary and Secondary.

Others are Namatama Primary, Nansanzu Primary, Linda West Primary and Secondary, Linda East Primary, Highlands Primary and Secondary, Highlands Primary and Secondary, Victoria Falls Primary, Maranatha Primary and Mujala Primary Schools.

MOPANI take over a giant step Dear Editor, GOVERNMENT’S decision to take over Mopani Copper Mines through ZCCM-IH is a giant step in the right direction.

Thank you President Edgar Lungu for this bold move which will create job security.

For a long time, the government has been blackmailed by the investors who threaten job cuts.

President Lungu should be commended for his leadership and for his passion to better the lives of Zambians.

This move will greatly

improve the lives of Zambians especially the youth.

It is therefore worrying when one hears of some politicians who are against this move.

This is an eye opener to youths to seriously scrutinise those who aspire to be national leaders if they have a heart for Zambians.

President Lungu is committed to ensure we have job security hence coming up with policies such like this one.

I also urge youths to heed the call from the PF national youth executive committee chairman Kelvin Sampa for them to acquire land.

We have vast land in the countryside of which youths are encouraged to take advantage and apply for land.

STANLEY MWAMBA KAFULA MWAUME, PF national youth executive member.

FR LUONDE BAFFLES ME Dear Editor,

I

KNOW. This is a very bizarre opening to an article to an article indeed. I concede it’s bizarre. Between being hospitalised, recovering from Covid-19, the international political environment, a plethora of Covid-19 conspiracy theories, the local happening from the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) to the new appointments and subsequent reactions which provoke Fr. Luonde’s not so fatherly political statements if you ask me what one should put his/her mind to?

My answer is simply “I don’t know.”

Fr. Luonde is quoted by the Sunday Mast of January 17, 2021 saying “Voting PF is choosing death” the vulgarity of the response from such sections as News Diggers and Koswe to Anglican Father Richahis statement is amplified by not the character but the occupation of the one who pronounced the words, the timing, the prevailing mood in the country and the motive behind the statement.

This consideration justified my resolve to address Fr. Luonde and apply mind to his statement about Covid-19 and everything else that clouds my mind at this very moment.

His Occupation; he is a member of the clergy, a person who makes a living from speaking against death and

preaching life - at least that’s globally; the current mood globally is that of fear and dehow society views him.

By associating the Patriotic spair. Covid-19 has redefined Front to death, he is abusing life as we know it. None of his privilege as a man of the us know what to do about it. cloth to manipulate the public Therefore it’s not the best time by blurring the divide between for the highly acclaimed such his political ambition and his as the clergy to throw around such careless statements. supposedly calling.

The statement by Fr Luonde Speaking against death is definitely his job but telling has the potential of being mispeople who not to vote for is construed. We witnessed an his personal political indul- impeachment of a leader acgence. Death is the worst that cused of fuelling a riot through can happen to mankind and a statement which the leader to refer to a competing organ- claims was as innocent and isation as death is immorality peaceful as it can be. The good beyond reproach, hate speech father should have been alive to this to say the least.

Our society is full of hate speech but when the hate speech comes from the church, I shudder.

Timing: the casualness with which he uses the word death could not have been more illtimed than this. Many of us agree that the rate at which we have been losing people we know to the cold hand of death has been alarming of late.

This can be attributed to Covid-19. For this reason, the pain is real and fresh therefore, to either joke or turn death into a political soundbite is simply to pour scorn on other people’s misery.

Call it salt to injury, but when it comes from a person whose job is to comfort them, pain is multiplied a hundredTrump impeached after fold. accusations of fueling a riot The prevailing mood

information.

The motive behind the statement: this one is not cause for speculation as the good father made it clear in his statement, he is trying to get people not to vote for the Patriotic Front.

The PF has presided over the affairs of this country for close to 10 years and the good father is still alive. Alive enough to claim the PF is death. The irony is intense.

This year has been made special by some of the elements highlighted here. It’s not all systems go, we have to vie for political office with sensitivity to the emotions of our electorate.

Let’s campaign without causing harm to society through careless statements like this one from the good Fr Luonde. I will not hesitate to call out anyone who tries to make politics look dirty. As for how to help the father at this late stage in his life? I don’t know.

G L E N N KALIMBWE, PF Mobilisation Coordinator, W e s t e r n Province.

I foresee divisions and defections if adoptions are not well managed Dear Editor, OH yes! I foresee divisions and defections in major political parties if the issue of adoptions is not properly managed ahead of the August 12 General Elections.

We have seen a number of candidates both from the ruling and opposition political parties positioning themselves as parliamentary candidates, and the most interesting part is the silence from the incumbents.

A number of constituencies have MPs who have served two or more terms with different political parties and most of these lawmakers have kept quiet and your guess is as good as mine, the silence simply mean or shows the unwillingness by seating parliamentarians to leave office.

But wait and see what will happen once parliament is

dissolved.

From what is pertaining on the ground especially in Lusaka, I see frustrations if some candidates who have positioned themselves for adoption do not get picked.

Some of these people are playing a huge role (s) in their respective political parties.

Secondly, the chances of incumbent MPs crossing over to the other side hoping to be adopted if not readopted by their own parties are equally very high too and you can only imagine what will happen.

The selfishness of some of our politicians really worries me a lot even when someone knows that they have failed the electorates, they will still want to continue.

That aside, I think political party leaders should provide guidance now, for those that have not yet done that regarding the adoption process otherwise let us brace ourselves for mass defections of candidates if this issue is not well handled.

This coming election promises to be an interesting one and I can’t wait anymore.

Stay blest!

FRANCIS CHIPALO.

Business executive eyes Mayoral seat

By ROGERS KALERO

HARD work and loyalty to the Patriotic Front (PF) and its leadership will make me provide quality leadership and serve residents of Ndola, PF aspiring candidate for the position of Ndola Mayor Victoria Chembe has said Ms Chembe said, together with management and other stakeholders, she would enhance revenue collection and improve service delivery, if adopted and eventually elected in the August general elections.

"I have done a number of businesses, I have also been in fashion and What she said

Ms Chembe said once elected as Ndola Mayor, she would bring quality

leadership and experience from the private sector and create linkages which would able to support the council effectively.

beauty contests, but for now, I thought I should give myself to the World of politics by aspiring for the position of Ndola Mayor. My interest is to see how I can contribute in making Ndola a better place.

"I mean serving the people of Ndola effectively. I think I can do better because my decision to aspire for the position of Ndola Mayor on the PF ticket is driven by my conviction that I can add value to where others have left,'' Ms Chembe said.

Ms Chembe, who is a business executive, said she was humbly asking for the adoption from the various party structures so that she could deliver her best once elected as Ndola Mayor.

She said that she had decided to aspire for the

position of Ndola Mayor after making wide consultations from various sections of society, including party structures, business colleagues and others whom she had worked with on various projects.

Ms Chembe said once elected as Ndola Mayor, she would bring quality leadership and experience from the private sector and create linkages which would able to support the council effectively.

She would ensure that the offices of the four Members of Parliament, District Commissioner (DC), councillors and council management, employees and other stakeholders enjoy a good relationship with her office to ensure effective coordination on various developmental projects. ''Apart from coordination with various stakeholders, I will maintain respect for the PF structures because they are important and deserve respect. Without the party structures, one cannot ascend to the position of Mayor or any position,'' she said Ms Chembe said it was important that a woman was given chance to be Ndola Mayor because even President Edgar Lungu had demonstrated the confidence in women by appointing a woman to the position of Republican Vice-President Inonge Wina, Government Spokesperson Dora Siliya and other female ministers.

She promised to bring pride to the women by delivering development and ensure that interests of women and youths were taking into consideration.

"Give me chance and I will prove myself. I will prove that women have the interests of the people at heart because they are the ones who look after families. Even men are special in their own ways, but women ensure that the interest of families are catered for,'' said Ms Chembe.

was reported to have been demanding K500 to have schools disinfected.

But Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of General Education, Jobbicks Kalumba, said the activities were illegal.

Dr Kalumba said those found wanting would be dealt with according to the law. The association in question was allegedly

charging the money while working with the Ndola City Council.

Ndola has over 150 private schools that need to be disinfecting before the reopening of schools slated for February 1, 2021.

But the Ndola Private Schools Association treasurer Nelly Nankolongo could not comment on the matter as she stated that

she was too junior to do so.

Meanwhile, the Ndola City Council has distanced itself from the collection of money from private schools for disinfecting premises.

The local authorities in collaboration with the Ministry of General Education are fumigating schools as a way of fighting Covid-19 before schools open.

Coronavirus testing is free, says expert MANAGEMENT at Ndola Teaching Hospital (NTH) says testing for Covid-19 is free and that at no time has the health institution charged any citizens.

NTH Senior Medical Superintendent, Joseph Musowoya, said testing for Covid-19 was free for all citizens adding that the Ministry of Health distributed testing kits to health facilities in the country.

Dr Musowoya however clarified that the Tropical Disease Research Centre (TDRC), which is housed at NTH, was charging only those intending to travel outside the country.

"We are only charging those who require a Covid-19 traveling certificate from the Ministry of Health which is a

clearance for them to travel," he explained. He said the health facility was only testing referral patients who show Covid-19 symptoms.

"We are only conducting

tests for those who are sick but for those who just want to know their status should visit TDRC," he said.

Dr Musowoya has meanwhile discouraged patients

who are well and have no Covid-19 symptoms to stop frequenting health facilities or hospitals that may be highly infectious places -ZANIS.

TANZANIA OPTS FOR LOCAL CORONAVIRUS HERBS D

AR ES SALAAM - Tanzania has signalled that it is not intending to use any Covid-19 vaccine but instead will settle on local herbs for protection against the disease.

Speaking to the East African Gerald Chamii, a spokesman at the Ministry of Health said, “There are no plans in place yet of importing vaccine for Covid-19, our health experts and scientists are still researching and undergoing clinical trials for the local herbs for Covid-19.”

Chemii put doubt on the efficacy levels of the current global vaccines claiming the production duration was not efficient enough to warrant a maximum protection.

“It takes not less than six months to find a vaccine or

cure for a certain disease. We have fared on our own since the pandemic spread, I am not sure if it is wise to have a vaccine imported and distributed to the citizens without undertaking clinical testing to approve if it is safe for our

people,” added Chami.

Tanzania is among the first countries in Africa to order for the touted Madagascar Covid herb in the fights against the virus. Madagascar President Andry Rajoelina is the promoter-in-chief of

the substance, marketed as Covid-Organics and sold in the form of a herbal infusion.

Artemisia annua has a long history in its native China, where scientists discovered an active ingredient that made the plant a front-line weapon in the fight against malaria.

The substance has proven effectiveness against malaria, but no clinical trials have tested it against Covid-19, either as a cure or as a preventative.

Little is known in Tanzania on the number of positive cases due to the government’s stun position on the virus.

Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli had declare the East African country as Covid-free and did not place any curfew or confinement to prevent the spread of Coronavirus. – AFRICA NEWS.

POLITICAL FUNDING …Political parties will have to disclose donors from April, after Ramaphosa signs new law

JOHANNESBURG Political parties will have to start declaring their sources of funding before the local government elections, scheduled to be held later this year.

President Cyril Ramaphosa

yesterday said in a statement that he had promulgated the Political Party Funding Act of 2018, and that it would come into effect on April 1.

He called it a “historic development for transparency and accountability in South Africa.”

Ramaphosa earlier came in for criticism for delaying the promulgation of the Act, which he signed almost two years ago already.

It will regulate public and private funding of political parties and establishes funds to provide political parties represented in Parliament and legislatures with funding to undertake their work, he

SA Parliament unites in praise of Jackson Mthembu JOHANNESBURG The death of Minister in the Presidency, Jackson Mthembu, shocked and saddened MPs from both sides of the House.

Mthembu, chief whip of the ANC in the National Assembly from 2016 to 2019, died from Covid-19 related complications on Thursday, after testing positive for the virus.

“In the passing of Mr

Mthembu, South Africa has lost a passionate and fiercely vocal freedom fighter. He was a patriotic South African and a strong defender of constitutional democracy. He was a dependable reservoir of knowledge and wisdom, particularly on the workings of the legislative arm of the state, which he served for years at provincial and national levels in various capacities,” said

said in a statement.

It requires that donations be disclosed by parties and donors to the Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC).

Foreign governments or agencies, foreign persons or entities, organs of state or state-owned enterprises are no longer allowed to make donations to parties for campaigns.

Foreign entities could, however, still provide money for training, skills development or policy development.

Members of political parties are also prohibited from receiving donations for anything other than political Parliament’s presiding officers, Speaker of the National Assembly Thandi Modise and Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces Amos Masondo. ANC Chief Whip Pemmy Majodina was in Colesberg ahead of the burial of another ANC MP when she learnt the news.

“We are shattered, this is painful and death continues unabated. We have lost my predecessor, a selfless leader; a brother who was firm in his leadership and gave me support, not seeking to lead from the grave, but enabling me the space to lead and one of the best ANC cadres amongst

party purposes.

Civil society organisations were critical about the time it took to promulgate this Act, and wrote to Ramaphosa about it at the end of last year.

He replied, promising to promulgate it before April.

The IEC has welcomed the coming into effect of the act, which it said will coincide with the start of a new financial year for the public sector and political parties.

“The implementation of the act is one of the most important and far-reaching enhancements to our electoral democracy in the past 25 years,” it said in a statement.

– NEWS24. us,” said Majodina in a statement. DA leader John Steenhuisen, who served as the Chief Whip of the opposition opposite Mthembu during the often acrimonious Fifth Parliament, said he was deeply saddened by the death of his “former parliamentary colleague, adversary and friend, Jackson Mthembu.”

While Mthembu often crossed swords with the EFF in Parliament, the party praised him for always providing “logical and sound leadership” which often transcended the partisan nature of parliamentary politics. – NEWS24/BBC.

CAR declares state of emergency to combat rebels

BANGUI/NEW YORK - Central African Republic declared a state of emergency on Thursday to help it crack down on armed groups, as the United Nations’ envoy to CAR called for the deployment of many more peacekeepers in response to a recent surge in attacks.

The state of emergency, which will last 15 days, lets the authorities fast-track arrests by allowing the military to detain suspects without going through a prosecutor, government spokesman Albert Yaloke said in a statement. – REUTERS.

U.N. sets dates for Libyan transitional government selection

TUNIS - The United Nations Libya mission said on Thursday that nominations for leadership of a new unified transitional government must be made within a week and voting on candidates would take place in early February.

Biden seeks five-year extension of New START arms treaty with Russia WASHINGTON - U.S. President Joe Biden will seek a five-year extension to the New START arms control treaty with Russia, the White House said on Thursday, in one of the first major foreign policy decisions of the new administration ahead of the treaty’s expiration in early February.

“The President has long been clear that the New START treaty is in the national security interests of the United States. And this extension makes even more sense when the relationship with Russia is adversarial as it is at this time,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said in a briefing.

She also said Biden had “tasked” the U.S. intelligence community for its full assessment of the Solar Winds cyber breach, Russian interference in the 2020 election, Russia’s use of chemical weapons against opposition leader Alexei Navalny and alleged bounties on U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.

“Even as we work with Russia to advance U.S. interests, so too we work to hold Russia to account for its reckless and adversarial actions,” Psaki said.

The arms control treaty, which is due to expire on February 5, limits the United States and Russia to deploying no more than 1, 550 strategic nuclear warheads each.

In addition to restricting the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons to its lowest level in decades, New START also limits the land- and submarine-based missiles and bombers that deliver them.

In a statement, the Pentagon said that Americans were “much safer” with the treaty intact and extended.

“Just as we engage Russia in ways that advance American interests, we in the Department will remain clear-eyed about the challenges Russia poses and committed to defending the nation against their reckless and adversarial actions,” Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said.

The treaty’s lapse would end all restraints on deployments of U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear warheads and the delivery systems that carry them, potentially fuelling a new arms race, policy experts have said.

Earlier, a source familiar with the decision told Reuters that U.S. lawmakers have been briefed on Biden’s decision on the New START treaty. – REUTERS.

SIOMA MP REFLECTS ON FIRST TERM IN OFFICE ....government embarked on a mission to create structures that would inspire development in the area

By TERENCE MISELO

S

IOMA in Western Province is one of the country’s new districts that got its status under the late President Michael Chilufya Sata’s administration. Before the declaration of district status in 2013, Sioma was a mission under Shangombo.

After the declaration of Sioma as a district, the government embarked on a mission to create structures that would inspire development in the area through the establishment of government local authorities and a district administration.

However, most of these plans have stalled which means the district is still yet to undergo a process of infrastructure development as well as social and economic transformation to make it viable and self-sustaining.

This process is not without the many challenges the district is facing with constant flooding of the area topping the list.

Ms Mbololwa Subulwa is Sioma Constituency Member of Parliament, the first-ever MP and an independent who was voted into office in 2016 under a heavily contested election that went through a petition before she was declared winner.

For this reason, Ms Subulwa admits that the road to her success was not an easy one as she faced challenges including lack of campaign materials and the financial resources.

She however insists that she owes it to the people of Sioma for believing in her and giving her the chance to serve them as an independent MP even after she competed with four men for the seat.

Speaking in an interview following a tour of her constituency to check on her developmental projects by the Zambian Women Parliamentary Caucus (ZWPC) supported by Hivos, Ms Subulwa said unlike the other candidates, who had campaign materials and were possibly financially sound, she laboured to put up a strong campaign that was entirely managed by her followers through sacrifices and donations.

Describing herself as a mother, teacher by profession, a Degree holder in public administration and development studies and currently about to conclude her studies in Human

Resource Management from University of Lusaka, Ms Subulwa is keen to see a developed Sioma.

Reflecting on her first term of office, Ms Subulwa said her key areas of development from the start have been anchored on education, health, infrastructure development, water reticulation and empowerment.

As an educationalist, she says she is very aware of the many challenges her constituency faces in education.

“For me education was first on my campaign promises. I believe education is an equaliser and when one has education, it humbles them and it equalises them,” she said in spelling out

helped in the supply of Iron sheets to community schools in her constituency. She further explained that a number of students have benefited from the sponsorship in terms of paying their college fees.

“From CDF, we support some of the students that do well at Grade 12 with some sponsorship. We also support those doing tailoring by giving them sewing machines. We give them jobs which they work on to make their own money and become responsible citizens in the constituency,” she said.

Apart from supporting young people in school, Ms Subulwa has also emphasised on promoting sport and as such, she

With the same dedication, Ms Subulwa is happy to have also lobbied for the completion of Liumbo health centre. She further lobbied for solar power to be put at the health post to ease operations. This has helped people to avoid walking long distances in a bid to access health services.

She also indicated that before she even became MP for Sioma, she lobbied for money to complete Kalenge Health Post which was initiated by the community.

Another important thing that has helped the health sector according to Ms Subulwa is the improvement in communication. She said the recent installation of communication towers has brought a huge boost to the

Using CDF allocation, she lobbied for the construction of classroom blocks at Kalenge, Ngombe compound, Kabula 1, Libonda, Kabula 2, Litaneno, Dihehe and Mwazi schools. some of the projects under education in her constituency.

These projects mainly involved infrastructure development through the construction of classroom blocks to improve student enrolment and promote basic and secondary education.

Being aware that as a rural constituency, Sioma has had few schools and that most students dropout from school, she lobbied for a number of classroom blocks to be constructed and rehabilitated across the constituency.

Using CDF allocation, she lobbied for the construction of classroom blocks at Kalenge, Ngombe compound, Kabula 1, Libonda, Kabula 2, Litaneno, Dihehe and Mwazi schools.

She also facilitated for the rehabilitation and completion of Mutomena Primary and Secondary (Combined School).

There was further completion of a 1 by 3 classroom block at Mulele Primary and Secondary (Combined school) where a staff house was also constructed.

All this she said was done to improve enrolment and keep the children in school.

“There is an island called Mbeta. Education was a challenge there and so we put up Libonda Primary School and I also lobbied for a health post there,” she said.

In addition to the construction of classroom blocks, Ms Subulwa explains that she has

acquired football jerseys for youths in all the wards in Sioma.

The MP is also working with various supporting partners to further improve education. For example at Kabula 2 School, solar panels are being done to ensure the school is lit and help pupils study even at night. She is pleased that Nagweshi also has electricity courtesy of Rural Electrification Authority(REA).

She has further lobbied for electricity from the government which will benefit a number of schools and health facilities across the constituency.

With further support, some schools have been upgraded from primary to secondary level.

An organisation called God’s Foundation has also helped to put up solar-powered boreholes in some schools and communities.

“We are also working on the project to support the girls with sanitary towels in schools. On this project we are targeting girls in grades six to twelve, “Ms Subulwa said.

Under health, Ms Subulwa has equally prioritised the construction of health centres and most importantly lobbied for the construction of a mini hospital at Nangweshi.

“There was no district hospital there and this mini hospital at Nagweshi has become the biggest hospital we have now in the constituency,” she said.

health and education sectors.

“Since my area gets flooded so often, I had to lobby for communication towers which have made dissemination of

information improve especially in health referral cases and also information about exams in schools,” she said.

Ms Subulwa is also happy that her constituency has benefited from the 650 health posts by the

Official opening of a school government.

Improvement of road network and ensuring that her constituency gets safe drinking water has been another area of concern for Ms Subulwa. She bemoans the fact that Sioma generally faces water challenges because the area has salty water and that people have lost lives due to crocodile attacks as they get water from the rivers.

Because of this, she lobbied for sinking of boreholes. 89 bore holes were sank but the water is still salty. This has made the people to resort to river water thereby risking their lives to more crocodile attacks. The MP is therefore working hard to find a lasting solution. For example, there is already a water reticulation project going on at Nangweshi and Kolongola to address the problem.

“We are also trying to upgrade the raods in Sioma, three main roads are earmarked for this project and we are hoping contractors will be on site soon,” she said believing that this will hugely improve the transport sector. She further requests that the government considers putting a feeder road from Mulele to Dihehe.

For example, in Mbeta Island in Sioma, water transport is the only means but is highly risky as people use makeshifts boats.

“We have lost lives in Mbeta Island and we have however received help of two banana boats from the Vice President’s Office which is still not enough because we have a lot of crossing points. We are still lobbying for more,” she assured.

Since livestock farming is the most common economic activity in Sioma, Ms Subulwa is happy with empowerment programmes the sector has received. She mentions the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR), a World Bank initiative that is helping her constituents with livestock and fish farming. Several people have been empowered with goats, cows and some are fully engaged in fish farming.

She is specifically happy with the benefits this project has had especially in Kabula 1 where she says the residents are doing very well and are now self-reliant.

She is also happy that through her constant interventions, the Community Development Ministry through Minister Kampamba Mulenga has been fully helpful to the empowerment projects.

“My strategy is to ensure people who get empowerment, sustain it. I don’t believe in empowerment that mainly involves hand outs. Our people in Kabula

are doing well so far. However, those not doing fine rely mainly on hand outs.

“I always believe that people need to be accountable for everything they are given and for me, empowerment means being accountable and also being able to grow and sustain yourself,” she said.

She added that she fully monitors the empowerment projects and come in where there are challenges like delayed funding or inputs. In this case, she helps through her own resources to ensure some projects don’t stall.

There is also the Kaanja Tier Three or Kaanja Livestock Service Centre which is supposed to be a training centre to be completed but works have stalled. Recently, Republican President Edgar Chagwa Lungu visited the project and funding was released to have it completed. Ms Subulwa says once this is completed, farmers in Sioma and Shangombo will benefit greatly.

Other economic potential areas she is lobbying for in the district include the areas of tourism, salt mining and infrastructure development.

She believes the benefits from these investment opportunities will be employment for the locals.

There are also a number of pending projects in construction that are mainly meant to uplift the standard of Sioma Constituency.

Construction of a Civic Centre, construction of houses (low, medium and high cost houses), construction of Police station as well as a district administration office are among the big projects pending as works have stalled since 2015.

There are also plans to put up a post office, and a Tier Three Livestock Service Centre at Kaanja which is now 80% complete.

With all these projects, Ms Subulwa is certain Sioma will reach its greatest social and economic heights. The MP is keen to carry on her vision beyond 2021. She says she wants to re-contest the seat as she feels she needs to fulfil what she promised the people.

“I feel I have to be given another chance to fulfil what I promised my people. I want to contest again and I know that that will be determined by my people.

“I am still getting mixed recommendations whether to go independent or on a political party,” she concludes, describing her leadership style as one that follows a bottom-up approach.

Sport Pilgrim FAREWELL TO DEPARTED SPORTS ADMINISTRATIONS Mwamba’s massive contribution to sports most especially boxing cannot go unnoticed on any given day.

He rose from an amateur boxer to being one of the best trainers and promoters the nation has ever produced. Mwamba stormed the last eight in the boxing category at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, a feat that many couldn’t have paid attention to as they were in the euphoria of the men’s football team whitewashing former world champions Italy 4-0.

The country has lamentably failed to grab silverware and medals at major international tournaments but Mwamba managed to bring back bronze at the Commonwealth Games in New Zealand.

Even after retirement, he continued his tireless service to the boxing world and the nation at large. Many will surely remember him for his hand in the success of female sensation Esther Phiri whom he “picked” from the streets and made a world champion.

Every person in any sport will tell you that it is not easy to produce a world class athlete or even more challenging, producing a World champion. That is what he created in Esther Phiri.

His ability to identify and nurture talent speaks volumes of how passionate, determined and dedicated the “Preacherman” was. It is normal practice to eulogise and speak words sweet to the ear when a person dies but we can all agree that women boxing can’t be talked about without mentioning this great son of the soil.

The various venues in the country would be packed and many would be glued to their television sets because of this man’s contribution to bringing women’s boxing to light.

Just last year, he expressed his humanitarian desire to get back to the ring for an exhibition match to raise funds for former boxers, something that shows the passion he held for boxing.

Like everyone else, Mwamba might have had his “little failings” but definitely he will remain a great name in the history of Zambian sports. May the souls of the two magnanimous men rest in peace and condolences to the families and the sports fraternity. We continue chatting via chailegrace21@gmail.com.

Saturday October 3, 2020

GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA DARK clouds hover over the nation as the cold hand of death robs us of gallant generals in many fields.

The New Year looked like a time for refreshment for the sports fraternity after a difficult 2020 but recent weeks have proved otherwise. Death has robbed us of valiant dedicated sports administrators, whose contribution to the fraternity is unforgettable.

In less than 48 hours this week, we lost two passionate administrators in Thomas Mumba and Anthony “Preacherman” Mwamba.

It was a cold Tuesday late afternoon as news filtered through that the Zambia Hockey Association (ZHA) general secretary Thomas Mumba had died.

This is a man who had dedicated the last decade of his life to the development of hockey.

And in these years, hockey has scored success, achieving what they termed “major” sports disciplines have failed to do.

Under the leading role of association president Hazel Kennedy, Mumba with other spirited individuals revived the national association. And in three years, Zambia was at the Africa Cup. He will be remembered for his contribution to ensuring Zambia qualified for the first time to the 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympics which saw the team finishing fourth.

Mumba always believed that no sport should be categorised as “minor” and advocated for equal financial support. He helped nurture many athletes and coaches. Indeed he has left young coaches to pick up the mantle.

While on Thursday, Zambia was greeted to the shocking passing on of legendary boxing trainer and promoter Mwamba.

NKANA SEEK REDEMPTION

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

A

FTER suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Zesco United in their last MTN/FAZ Super Division match, Nkana FC will seek redemption when they return to league action with a tricky tie against big spenders, Lusaka Dynamos in a Week-14 match at Nkoloma Stadium in Lusaka.

The game which was scheduled for Sunset Stadium before it was moved to Nkoloma Stadium promises a lot of sparks as the two sides look for maximum three points which will push them to a better position on the log.

Nkana are 14th on the league table with 14 points and a win over Lusaka Dynamos will propel them into the top eight.

Lusaka Dynamos, drilled by former Chipolopolo coach Wedson Nyirenda will also hunt for three points knowing that a win over Nkana will move them into fifth position.

Despite missing the services of Emmanuel Chabula and Collins Sikombe, Lusaka Dynamos are the favourites going into today’s game against an inconsistent Nk-

A government spokesman said there was “no truth” to a report in Britain’s Times newspaper that the government had privately concluded the Games would have to be cancelled. The Times, citing an unidentified senior member of Japan’s ruling coalition, said the government’s focus was now on securing the Games for Tokyo in the next available year, 2032.

“We clearly deny the report,” Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Manabu Sakai told a news conference.Later, Ja-

ana side that is facing a lot of challenges on and off the pitch.

Meanwhile, in the first game of the double header at Nkoloma Stadium, struggling NAPSA Stars will take to the field searching for their first win in three games when they take on Indeni FC who will be seeking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Buildcon.

At Godfrey Chitalu Stadium in Kabwe, Kabwe Warriors will fight to redeem themselves from two consecutive defeats to Green Buffaloes and ZANACO when they host relegation-bound Kitwe United whose return to the Super Division has been met with a lot of misfortunes.

In other fixtures, Young Green Eagles will take on rejuvenated High flying Nkwazi who edged Zesco United 1-0 in their last league game.

The match slated for Khosa Stadium in Kafue presents Dennis Makinka’s boys a chance to move into the top five bracket.

Log leaders Prison Leopards will target to extend their lead at the summit of the Super Division table when they take Lumwana Radiants at Indepen-

dence in Solwezi.

After failing to pick a win from the last two games where they drew with NAPSA after losing to Prison Leopards, Forest Rangers will host Red Arrows at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola.

Interxity boxers mourn Mwamba Automotive, K-Line

By MUKWIMA CHILALA

INTERXITY Boxing Academy promoter Eddie Gowa has described the death of Exodus Boxing Promotion proprietor Anthony Mwamba as a huge loss not only to boxing but the entire sports fraternity in the country.

And former Zambia boxing heavyweight champion Francis “Galagata” Zulu has described Mwamba as the one the inspired him to venture into coaching after hanging up his gloves.

Gowa yesterday led his Boxing Stables in paying his last respect to Mwamba at the funeral house in Chelstone to which they also donated assorted food stuffs to the family.

Gowa noted that Mwamba was a pivotal partner of Interxity Boxing Academy as he was always on hand to support his Boxing Stables being a man who always wanted to develop young talent.

Gowa said that through his interaction with Mwamba, he came to know him as a man who had a vision for the sport and always wanted to uplift the living standards of former and current

Japan and IOC deny that Olympics will be cancelled JAPAN and the IOC stood firm yesterday on their commitment to host the Tokyo Olympics this year and denied a report of a possible cancellation but the pledge looks unlikely to ease public concern about holding the event during a pandemic.

Though much of Japan is under a state of emergency due to a third wave of Covid-19 infections, Tokyo Olympic organisers have vowed to press ahead with the re-scheduled Games, which are due to open on July 23 after being postponed for a year because of

pan Olympic Committee head Yasuhiro Yamashita told Reuters the report was false and “a fabrication.” The governor of Tokyo, Yuriko Koike, said there had been no talk of cancelling or delaying the Olympics and a protest should be lodged over the Times report.

The Games organising committee also denied the report, saying in a statement its partners including the government and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) were “fully focused” on hosting the games as scheduled.

athletes.

He noted that the onus was now on those that had remained behind to carry on with the works left behind by Mwamba especially in grooming and nurturing young athletes.

Galagata described the death of Mwamba as a huge blow to the growth of both professional and amateur boxing in the country.

He noted that being in boxing for four decades was not a joke and only showed how much Mwamba had contributed to the growth of the sport in Zambia.

Galagata said he had known Mwamba for about two decades and once belonged to the same stable with him during which he was engaged in some international competitions with him.

Mwamba, a former boxer won acclaim for bringing to stardom female boxing sensation Esther Phiri who under his watch won various domestic and world boxing titles.

He was called “Preacherman” during his boxing days and was a part of Zambia's Olympic contingency at the Seoul games, South Korea in 1988.

clash in titanic tie

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

PREMIER Futsal League outfit Kabwe K-line will seek revenge when they host PFL leaders Automotive FC in a week-13 clash of the titans at Automotive Indoor Futsal Arena.

The game promises a lot of sparks as K-line attempts to avoid a second defeat while fighting to hand Automotive FC their first defeat of the season.

Rejuvenated by their 12-4 bashing of Siavonga Beetles in their last PFL league game, K-Line will fight for maximum three points to catch up with the log leaders Automotive who dominate the PFL with 33 points.

Only three points separate the two sides as Automotive seek to open a six point lead.

Meanwhile, Siavonga Beetles will seek redemption when they take on third-placed Kitwe Bullets to bounce back from the defeat to K-Line.

In other PFL games, struggling CSS Petauke’s search for a first win in the league continues today when the bottom-placed side take on Chipata Boys who beat Monze George 6-5 in their last game.

After losing 8-3 to Livingstone Pirates, Kafue Saints return to action today when they take on Monze George who will be fighting to bounce back from the 6-5 loss to Chipata Boys.

Livingstone Pirates are guaranteed maximum three points as they were scheduled to play DS Isoka who pulled out of the competition due to financial challenges.

CHIPOLOPOLO LIE IN WAIT FOR GUINEA

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

ZAMBIA national team coach Milutin “Micho” Sredojevic has declared his charges ready for today’s clash with Guinea in the African Nations Championship (CHAN) group D fixture at Limbe Stadium.

“Micho” will be seeking to guide the Chipolopolo to their consecutive win after they beat Tanzania 2-0 in their CHAN opener on Tuesday.

Speaking in a post-match interview “Micho” said he expects a tough game because Guinea are deemed as a better side with great individual players.

He said the game against Guinea will measure the Chipolopolo’s character to determine how far they can go in the competition.

“Micho” however noted that Zambia will do its best for the game to end in Chipolopolo’s favour after 90 minutes.

“We need to look at the match from three angles. One we are playing a good team which is coached by a very good coach.

“You see the individual quality of the team and when you have that in mind you need to give them respect. However this tournament has no perfect team, every team has a point of danger and sources of vulnerability.

“Micho” will look to the Lusaka Dynamos dual of Collins Sikombe and Emmanuel Chabula to deliver the needed goals while in goal Allan Chibwe is expected to start after he showed stability in the game against Tanzania.

Meanwhile, Zambia Sports Fans Association patron Peter Makembo has urged the Chipolopolo not underrate Guinea as the two sides meet in Limbe.

Makembo said the game is crucial, because defeat would reduce chances of Zambia qualifying to the quarterfinals and progressing “We believe in the boys and we trust they will be able to make the country proud like they did in their first game against Tanzania. They did not underrate Tanzania which made it possible to collect maximum points.

“The same way they approached the game against Tanzania should be the same way they should handle Guinea. They shouldn’t underrate Guinea so that we can be able to get a positive result,” Makembo said.

The winner in today’s match will dominate group D with six points to progress to the knock out stage.
