K200M APPROVED FOR AQUACULTURE O

By KETRA KALUNGA

VER K200 million aquaculture development funds have been approved for 1, 208 projects, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock has said.

The K204m is part of the US$27.6m (K599m) Aquaculture Seed Fund under the US$50.89m (K1.1 billion) Zambia Aquaculture Enterprise Development Project (ZAEDP).

Government launched the initiative being administered by the Citizens Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC).

Director of Fisheries, Alexander Kefi, said the projects approved for funding were from all the 10 provinces.

Dr Kefi said in an interview that 3, 000 projects were expected to be approved by the end of the aquaculture seed fund project which was expected to cost about US$27.6m.

“So far 1, 208 beneficiaries have been approved valued at approximately K204m under the aquaculture seed fund valued at US$27.6 million,” he said.

1, 830 inmates went through exams

By KETRA KALUNGA Over 1, 830 inmates last year managed to sit for their examinations in skills training, grade nine and seven in correctional facilities across the country.

Of these, 1, 560 inmates sat for trade tests in correctional facilities under the TEVETA programme while 472 grade nines and 138 grade sevens sat for examinations respectively.

Zambia Correctional Services deputy head of public relations, Brian Mooya, said in an interview that Southern Province had the highest number of inmates sitting for trade tests at 431 followed by the Copperbelt with 301.

Mr Mooya said Central Province had 262 followed by Western Province with 194 inmates while Muchinga Province had only four inmates sitting for examinations under TEVETA. “A grand total of 1, 835 inmates last year managed to sit for their examinations, of these 1, 560 inmates who sat for trade tests under TEVETA, with 472 grade nines and 138 sevens,” he said.

Mr Mooya added that nine students had enrolled at Zambia Open and Information and Communications University (ICU) as well as at the National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA).

He however said examination fees remain a major challenge for inmates who enrol for various trades and examinations at other levels because the correctional service has no capacity to pay for all those that could not afford.

Mr Mooya said the challenge of fees was one of the factors that reduce the number of inmates who sit for examinations in the various fields of studies.

Dr Kefi said that more applications for funding were being received for approval through the CEEC as the aquaculture fund manager.

Government implemented the ZAEDP with the aim of enhancing fish productivity and improving the livelihood of beneficiaries in the fish value chain.

CEEC has been under fire over the disbursement of aquaculture funds as the public is not seeing people benefitting from the funds.

The Small-Scale Farmers Association demanded the CEEC shows the nation the beneficiaries of the Aquaculture Seed Fund since members were not accessing the money.

unlawfully obtained contrary to section 319 of the Penal Code of the laws of Zambia.

In the second count, Zimba has been charged for operating a pharmacy without a Certificate of Registration contrary to Section 14 (1) of the Medicines and Allied Substances Act (3) of 2013.

Among the drugs seized include Lumartem (Artemether + Lumefantrine 20/120mg tablets) HIV test kits, Malaria rapid test kits, and Medroxyprogesterone injection.

Meanwhile in a related inci-

dent, Chrisencia Miyoba, aged 50 has been arrested for operating a health shop without a permit contrary to Section 14(1) of the Medicines and Allied Substances Act (3) of 2013.

Mayoba is said to be the proprietor of Fortune Drug Store at Mfuwe Cropping Area Market in Mambwe.

During the operation, prescription only medicines and pharmacy sale medicines were seized.

The trio have since been released on police bond and will appear in court soon. – ZANIS.

By SILUMESI MALUMO THE current revolt in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been engineered by Hakainde Hichilema, Patriot for Economic Progress (PEP) President Sean Tembo has claimed.

He said: "We say so with utmost confidence because we know how they operate based on our association with them during the days of the OppositionAalliance.”

Mr Tembo advised NDC members who had revolted against their leader, Mr Chishimba Kambwili, to reconsider their position.

By betraying their leader, Mr Tembo said, their political value had automatically been reduced to zero because no political leader would be able to trust them going forward.

"Not even the UPND where they appear to be headed will trust them. They have essentially sold off their entire political careers. We hope the price was right," he said.

Mr Tembo said he had been vindicated and he was proud of the political foresight for having left the Opposition Alliance.

"After exiting the Opposition Alliance, we proceeded to advise our brother Chishimba Kambwili to do the same so that they can concentrate on growing his NDC but he was adamant to leave and believed that he would be able to reach a fair and reasonable electoral pact with the UPND. “We find it extremely regrettable that Mr Kambwili's prolonged and misplaced faith in the Opposition Alliance has now cost him the stability of his party," Mr Tembo said.

ZEMA shuts milling plant, metal furnace Opposition Alliance cannot succeed - Musenge

By PETER SICHALI

File Photo:

By PETER SICHALI THE Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) has ordered Bwino Milling and Liang Yun Copper Processing Limited of Kitwe to stop operations immediately.

This is because the firms was operating without approved environmental licences. ZEMA acting Corporate Affairs Manager, Friday Phiri, said inspectors established that Bwino Milling and Liang Yun Company Limited had not conducted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as required by law.

The Environmental Protection and Pollution Control (Environmental Im-

pact Assessment) Regulations, Statutory Instrument No. 28 of 1997, requires that a EIA should be conducted before any operations could start.

In this case, the milling plant as well as the anode furnace plant, started operating without following the law.

"Pursuant to the provisions of the Environmental Management Act No. 12 of 2011, the Zambia Environmental Management Agency has ordered Bwino Milling and Liang Yun Company Limited to cease operations immediately," Mr Phiri said.

Mr Phiri said ZEMA had received complaints of air pollution from concerned members of the public.

THE Opposition Alliance was bound to flop from the onset because it was formed to propel Hakainde Hichilema’s agenda, says one of the founding members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Mwenya Musenge.

Mr Musenge, who was the NDC’s first Secretary-General said no meaningful alliance with UPND can succeed because all attempts to have an alliance are driven by selfish motives.

“No alliance with UPND can ever succeed because of Mr Hichilema and UPND’s agenda has always been about themselves,” he said.

Mr Musenge said the failure of the Opposition Alliance was expected from the onset because UPND is too selfish to accommodate the views of others.

“The changing of the name from Opposition Alliance to UPND Alliance is suggestive enough that it’s all about the UPND and other political parties are just being used to propel their agenda,” Mr Musenge said.

He said he was against the idea of forming an alliance with UPND from the start because he knew that Mr Hichilema and UPND could not be trusted.

“When I was secretary of the NDC

Mr Musenge

and decided to pull out of the alliance I was called all sorts names but today, I have been vindicated,” Mr Musenge said.

He said it was unfortunate that the NDC could allow itself to be used by the UPND. He said it was unfortunate that once the viable opposition has been reduced to a mere joke.

"Though what is happening in the NDC should not be celebrated, it's important to mention that I have been vindicated," Mr Musenge said.

Meanwhile, the Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) says it is saddened by internal wrangles that have engulfed the NDC leading to the expulsion of its leader Mr Chishimba Kambwili.

Mr Tembo said there was no doubt that the instability in the NDC had been sponsored and motivated by the UPND to advance its agenda.

He said he was vindicated that for having left the Opposition Alliance.

"We advised our brother Kambwili to do the same but he was adamant to leave," Mr Tembo said.

ACC QUERIES HH ...over privatization

(From page 1) A statement from the ACC has stated that the Commission has been investigating matters relating to the privatization process and has since recorded a Statement from United Party for National Development leader Hakainde Hichilema.

The statement did not clarify whether the investigation involved transactions involving properties from Lima Bank that are now owned by Mr. Hichilema over which the Police interrogated him or whether it was about the privatization of the Intercontinental hotel in Livingstone.

ACC Assistant Public Relations Officer, Dorothy Mwanza, said the Commission has been investigating matters relating to the privatization process.

Mr Hichilema was reported to the ACC by Chilufya Tayali of the Economic Equity Party (EEP) last year.

According to Sean Tembo – PeP President, Mr Hichilema as Negotiating Chairman of Intercontinental Hotel in Livingstone abused his position in two ways.

Firstly he sold the hotel to Sun International who had put up a much lower bid of $6.5 million, as opposed to selling to higher bidders which included a bid for $26 million, $20 million and $10 million. Sun International was a predominately South African Outfit, although they had registered a subsidiary in Zambia called Sun International Zambia, which is said to have been registered at PACRA in November 1997 and were Mr Hichilema and Senior Chief Mukuni were alleged to be Directors. As Negotiating Chairman, Mr Hichilema

is said to have sold the intercontinental hotel to Sun International Zambia around February 1998, almost 3 months after the company was incorporated.

Honorable Edith Nawakwi’s allegation, he said, in this matter was that Mr Hichilema effectively sold the hotel to himself, which explained why he decided to pick the lower bid of $6.5 million and not higher bids.

In his explanation through his lawyers according to Mr. Tembo, Mr Hichilema did not deny that he was the Negotiating Chairman in the sale of Intercontinental Hotel Livingstone. He also did not categorically deny that he was a Director of Sun International Zambia at the time that he sold Intercontinental Hotel. He also did not deny that he decided to sale the hotel at a lower bid price of $6.5 million when higher bids including $26 million were available.

Instead, he said, Mr Hichilema’s main defense regarding this particular allegation was that it was done within the law.

Meanwhile, EPP Leader Chilufya Tayali says he was disappointed that ACC investigation have dragged for a long time without much progress recorded.

Mr Tayali has appealed to the ACC to expedite the matter.

We want the ACC to expedite this matter like they do with other matters involving the PF officials,you saw how quick the issue of Hon Chitotela was expedited that is how this one should be Meanwhile, Ms Mwanza said the Commission had 78 active cases in court comprising of 71 criminal cases and seven civil matters.

Kambwili accused of witchcraft (From page 1) Apart from masquerading as President, Mr Kambwili has been accused of abusing funds, using witchdoctors and unchristian rituals in total violation of NDC principles anchored on Christian values.

Ms Atanga is also seeking an order that Mr Kambwili was never elected to the position of party president and an injunction restraining him from convening any meetings, costs and any other relief the Court may deem fit.

She claims that Mr Kambwili has purposely sabotaged the opposition alliance negotiations due to his desire to formalise his return to the ruling PF which he was expelled from in 2017.

Mr Mumbi who could not give details because the matter was in court said Dr Kambwili as remains expelled and has no authority to call for a central committee meeting.

Internal wrangles have engulfed the opposition NDC after some of its officials endorsed contesting of the 2021 general elections under a single ticket of UPND alliance against party leader Chishimba Kambwili’s advice.

Officials led by party vice president Joseph Akafumba ,Secretary general Bridget Atanga and presidential spokesperson Edward Mumbi on Thursday Expelled Mr Kambwili from the party.

CYBER TERRORISM TARGETED

By NATION REPORTER

THE curse of malicious slanderous cyber journalism which terrorizes innocent citizens will come to an end with the passage of the Cyber bill, the Minister of Home Affairs Kampyongo, has declared.

He told Parliament that cyber bullying and malicious propaganda has become entrenched on some media because there was no law to hold the people behind them to account.

With the new law, he said, nobody would be allowed to go scott free with malicious, false and misleading information designed to injure innocent people.

The Government, he said, had an idea of the people behind the malicious publications who would not be spared.

Senga Hill MP Kapembwa Simbao said malicious publications on cyber space endangered the creation of PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu says those who are involved in corruption activities yet seeking public office must be exposed.

President Lungu has observed that those who are fond of accusing others of corruption are the ones who are actually corrupt.

“Those who shout wolf, wolf are the wolves themselves,” said President Lungu at State House yesterday.

The President said crying about corruption all the time was not helping to curb the vice unless names of those involved were exposed.

He shared the view that people had the right to know the names of those involved in the illegal sale of public properties.

The President wants serious investigations

Mr Kampyongo

lawlessness in the country.

He discounted fears of the law being used against the opposition because laws were made in the interest of innocent people against criminals utilizing technology to harm others.

And Nalikwanda MP Dr. Geoffrey Lungwangwa said the bill was timely to save national and individual interest from cybercrime which had become

widespread in the world.

He said Governments the world over had introduced laws to protect citizens from malicious use of the cyber world.

Chama South MP Davison Mungandu also said that many Zambians had lost money in fraudulent transactions, a practice, which he said, was not only regrettable but also a serious abuse of technology

which should be brought to an end.

Meanwile the Minister of Legal Affairs Given Lubinda has assured Parliament that all the concerns expressed by stakeholders would be taken into account in the final amendments.

And Mr Kampyongo says the Cyber Security and Cyber Crimes Bill should not be deferred because there is still time to conclude it.

Debating the Bill Mr Kampyongo said that the Bill should be concluded as scheduled adding that the ministry of Justice and Ministry of Transport and communication will have enough time to attend to the concerns raised by stakeholders.

Mr Kampyongo said the concerns raised in the Bill are global concerns adding that Internet service providers including Social media are advising countries to have necessary legal frameworks to help them in curbing cybercrime.

Meanwhile, President Lungu, who is also the ZRCS patron has advised the society to find modalities on how best they can settle their debts with the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) and NAPSA. The Red Cross owes K2 million to ZRA and over K3 million to NAPSA.

President Lungu said it was difficult for him to grant the society a debt relief because the money was required to finance the country’s social and economic projects.

And ZRCS president Frackson Ngosa said itwas in debt because of gross mismanagement of resources.

President Lungu has however commended the society for its humanitarian efforts towards Zambians.

Minister’s CEC decision quashed From page 1

The judge however said that she did not find evidence of bad faith or improper motives in Mr Nkhuwa’s actions due to the fact that there was an impending crisis looming that would have led Konkola Copper Mines not to have power supply as submitted by the State, especially that section 13 (d) of the agreement emphasises the need of uninterrupted power supply to the Mine and the giving of 14 days’ notice.

Ms Justice Mwikisa said KCM had the obligation to pay its debt to CEC failure to which CEC had the right to discontinue power supply to KCM. “ Unless it’s repealed, section 15 will remain what it is, and any attempt to negotiate the terms between the

applicant and any enterprise that wishes to use the applicant’s network, will be in violation of S.I no. 57 of 2020,” “All in all, I find that the applicant has succeeded on all grounds under Order 53 rule 3 of the rules of the Supreme Court. I accordingly quash the decision of the Minister of 29th May, 2020, to declare the applicant’s transmission and distribution lines as a common carrier,” she ruled.

CEC has cited the Attorney General and the Energy Regulation Board (ERB) in the matter in which it was seeking judicial review challenging the decision by the Minister to declare its transmission and distribution lines as common carrier to be used on the terms and conditions determined by

ERB. CEC also challenged the decision

by ERB which set the wheeling tariff before the parties negotiate terms of use.

CEC challenged Mr Nkhuwa and ERB’s position on grounds that it is illegal, procedurally improper and the motive is in bad faith.

It said under Section 15(2) of the Electricity Act once a minister declares a transmission and distribution line as a common carrier, the terms and conditions of use ought to be agreed on between the owner of the transmission and distribution lines and any enterprise that intends to use the said lines. CEC stated that the matter is only referred to the ERB in the event of default in agreement between the owner and the enterprise.

NATION ‘LOCALS SIDELINED IN HUNTING

Tel: 0211 - 243527, P.O. Box 34553 Plot No. 5152 B Mukwa Road, Heavy Industrial Area Lusaka.

E-mail: dailynation@ymail.com www.dailynation.info

REMOVE ROTTEN EGGS THE disclosure that an employee of the University Teaching Hospital (UTH) in Lusaka has been arrested for charging people over Covid-19 tests makes sad reading.

It is sad in the sense that no one is supposed to make monetary profit from the Covid-19 pandemic that has ravaged the world.

Moreover, the government from the time that the pandemic was identified in Zambia last year in March has not spared any resources to fight the pandemic.

The government immediately put in place robust measures to mitigate against the spread of the pandemic that included not just setting up testing centres but also launched an extensive public sensitisation drive to make people aware of the health dangers.

And because the government wanted a coordinated response to the Covid-19 threat, it restricted testing centres to only specific government health centres. This was also meant to ensure that people were not exploited by having to pay through the nose for Covid-19 tests.

It is therefore frustrating that an employee at a government institution had the audacity to go against official policy by charging people for the Covid tests.

We implore the Ministry of Health to investigate this scam and get to the bottom so that all those involved could be rooted out and given the boot.

We are glad that the Minister of Health, Dr Jonas Chanda, who disclosed the scam to the public explained that internal investigations had been instituted extending to several departments to identify the full extent of dishonest dealings.

Dr Chanda, in the short time that he has been in charge of the Health ministry has shown that “heads will roll” where ever there are glaring cases of maladministration that endanger the lives of the public.

Already, the nation has seen a shake-up at the former Medical Stores Limited and there has been marked improvements at the few health institutions he has visited since his appointment.

As Dr Chanda said, Government had been working tirelessly to restore the confidence in the public health system, but regretted that some unscrupulous individuals were still taking advantage of people who were seeking health care services.

The Minister said he would not allow the image of the health sector to be tarnished by a few individuals.

He said the happenings at the UTH should serve as a stern warning to all would-be offenders across the country.

A Television undercover reporter unearthed the scam in which some employees were charging K250 for a Covid-19 test, when the procedure is supposed to be free.

Just this week, Dr Chanda reminded health professionals that theirs is a calling, that it is not just a job to make ends meet.

In a nutshell, the health service is not for those who want to get rich quickly by exploiting the sick.

Health institutions are for those who want to serve humanity, who put the safety of others before self.

Those involved in the scam at UTH are therefore betraying their colleagues who in the midst of the pandemic have put their lives at risk to care for patients.

We hope the investigations at UTH should be expedited so that the crooked are removed from the health system.

PURSUING JUSTICE AND EQUITY WITH INTERGRITY

CONCESSIONS, GAME RANCHING’

By CHARLES MUSONDA

IT is unfortunate and shameful that the Department of National Parks and Wildlife (DNPW) has allegedly blocked locals from participating in the game ranching and hunting concessions in preference to foreigners, the New Congress Party (NCP) has charged.

In an interview in Lusaka yesterday, NCP president Peter Chanda said they were aware that hunting concessions and game ranching licences have for a long time been given to foreigners, mostly of European origin, at the expense of Zambians who have enough resources and financial capacity to manage the sector.

Mr. Chanda said even the much talked about promotion of local tourism will not materialise if Zambians are not given equal rights and opportunities to participate in wildlife management.

He said it is clear that there are some

Mr Chanda form of alleged corrupt practices in the way the hunting concessions and game ranching licenses are being awarded because there is no transparency in the process.

He said if such opportunities are given to Zambians, they will contribute to the growth of the national economy because they will invest back in the nation as opposed to foreigners who take money out of the country as is the current practice.

Mr. Chanda appealed to Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela and the Patriotic front (PF) government to take keen interest in the matter before this year’s elections and ensure sanity and equity prevail in the wildlife sector management.

He said if Zambians are not given opportunities to manage wildlife, it will lead to increase in poaching as was the case with Upper Luano where there has been no tour operator for more than three years.

The DNPW has not yet responded to a Daily Nation query on list of companies and business entities that are licensed to have hunting concessions and game ranches on grounds that the tendering process for 24 of Zambia’s 36 hunting blocks is still ongoing.

Nigerian, 7 Zambians deny K6m online fraud

By GRACE CHAILE-LESOETSA A Nigerian and seven Zambians accused of swindling 59 people of over K6 million have denied owning an online business called “My Zamfund Village Banking.”

The eight claim that they were merely participants in the online business and were part of the WhatsApp groups only as group administrators.

In this matter, Mr Davies Musonda and 58 others sued Prosper Sylvia Ezeokah, a Nigerian resident in Zambia and Zambians, Rodrick Mulumbwa Musonda, Nelly Banda Zimba, Luyando Dyololo, Joseph Mwaba, Joshus Chikonko, George Chishimba and Chilufya Mulolo as defendants in the matter.

This is contained in a statement of claim filed in the Lusaka High Court.

Mr Ezeokah together with

the seven Zambians are alleged to have created and operated the online business My Zamfund Village Banking.

The 59 who invested between K480, 000 and K5, 000 want the court to order Mr Ezeokah and the others to pay the K6, 760, 245 which was collected from them.

They are seeking an order and declaration that the defendants’ conduct to illegally collect and withhold their money was extremely deceptive, fraudulent and that it deprived them of their legitimate revenue.

Mr Musonda and others want the court to order the eight to give a complete account of all the business transactions and money they dishonestly collected.

They want the court to order that the nine administrators open the website and whatsapp group to allow them access their accounts.

Veep chides opposition …for tarnishing country’s image

By NOEL IYOMBWA GOVERNMENT will not allow the opposition to tarnish the name of the country to the outside world and potential investors.

Vice President Inonge Wina observed that the opposition has been labelling Government as corrupt to influence potential investors not to come into the country.

She said that the manner in which the opposition had been conducting politics was disappointing.

Ms Wina said the opposition had always been negative towards Government even in times of significant achievement.

“In any country when the government achieves positive results, the opposition at least acknowledges but in Zambia the opposition is always condemning everything that the government does like we saw the way they condemned the Bill 10 and the referendum.

“The opposition wants the collapse of this country. We don’t know what country they will take over, but as government we shall not allow that to happen.”

Ms Wina said this in Parliament when responding to a question from Sioma MP

The 59 are also seeking an order that Mr Ezeokah and others surrender all the properties, motor vehicles, server and others gadgets which were bought through the money generated from them.

But in their defence, the eight have denied that My Zamfund Village Banking was the trade name but that there was an online platform on which participants of village banking under a group called My Zamfund were being paired on a peer to peer basis.

Mr Ezeokah and others argued that the plaintiffs also actively recruited participants to join the peer to peer village banking that was being conducted on the My Zamfund Village Banking, online business.

The eight stated that the 59 will be put to strict proof over allegations that they set-up the business.

Mbololwa Subulwa who wanted to know what government was going about the opposition tagging the government as corrupt on social media.

And Ms Wina has told parliament that the acquisition of more shares by ZCCMIH in Mopani Copper Mine was a business transaction not nationalization.

She was responding to Chifubu MP Frank Ng’ambi who wanted to know what message the Government has to individuals who were condemning the deal between Mopani and ZCCM-IH. Ms Wina said contrary to sentiments by some sections of society, the transaction was purely business.

She said that Glencore International, which was majority shareholder, and ZCCM Holdings sealed a deal to increase the shareholding to 100 percent from 10 per cent in Mopani.

Ms Wina said Glencore made a decision to place Mopani on care and maintenance, meaning that more 15, 000 jobs would have been lost.

She assured the nation that it was the best deal of the year in Zambia and that citizens should be proud of a Government that was caring.

The Vice President noted that Government was trying so hard to create and save jobs in the country and ensure local participation in the mining industry.

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

T

HE Supreme Court has ordered Professional I n s u r a n c e Corporation Limited to pay Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) K1.3 million of Value Added Tax (VAT) from its salvage sales.

In the ruling on February 19, this year the Supreme Court ordered the insurance company to pay VAT due and the costs awarded to ZRA within 30 days of the judgment.

In 2013, ZRA found that Professional Insurance owing K1, 300,000.00 in VAT from the sale of salvage after an audit for the period 2008 to 2012.

This is according to the ZRA Corporate Communications Manager, Topsy Sikalinda.

Mr Sikalinda said in a

statement that the insurance firm had argued that the sale of salvage motor vehicles was exempt from VAT and subsequently appealed to the Tax Appeals Tribunal which agreed with it.

He said ZRA, being dissatisfied with the Ruling of the Tax Appeals Tribunal, appealed to the Supreme Court.

ZRA argued that the Tax Appeals Tribunal erred in law when it held that the sale of salvage vehicles was not an ordinary transaction of sale of goods and, therefore, was within the contemplation of the VAT Exemption Order, 2014, and secondly that the Tax “Appeals Tribunal erred when it interpreted section 21(4) of the VAT Act, Cap 331 to mean that the Commissioner-General or ZRA is deemed or ought to know the inadequacy or the

He said the Supreme Court held the firm view that the wording of the Exemption Order was not broad enough to include the sale of salvage motor vehicles and that there was no intention whatsoever in the Exemption Order to extend the exemption to sale of salvage motor vehicles.

Mr Sikalinda said the Supreme Court further held that the Tax Appeals Tribunal erred when it found that the sale of salvage motor vehicles was incidental to the business of insurance.

Kagem Mining resumes ops next month

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU KAGEM Mining will reopen principal operations at its Lufwanyama emerald mine in a phased manner, beginning in the second week of next month.

The reopening comes at a time after the mine faced a significant detrimental impact stemming from the Covid-19 pandemic over the past year.

The reopening process will commence with the wash plant production area followed by the mining operations and is expected to complete by the second week of April 2021.

This follows a suspension of all but critical operations since March last year during which time Kagem employees (excluding those on critical operations) were placed on leave.

In a statement from the mine, employees on leave had continued to receive basic (80 percent) salaries, in line with the new Employment Code Act 2019 (Act No. 3 of 2019) throughout the suspension period, despite not working.

“Kagem has been able to avoid redundancies and retain its workforce due to the financial support provided by the majority shareholder, Gemfields Limited, which owns 75 percent of Kagem in partnership with the government’s

Industrial Development Corporation, which owns 25 percent.

“Due to the continued uncertainty surrounding Covid-19 and subsequent mitigation measures limiting travel and logistics, Gemfields remains unable to provide reliable guidance as to when it might return to its regular auction format and schedule, meaning future revenues remain uncertain,” the mine said.

The mine however said with the Minister of Mines’ approval, Gemfields was able to hold a series of mini-auctions in the last quarter of 2020.

Incorporating shuttle viewings in different cities, followed by bid submission via an online auction platform,

the completion process of each auction was monitored live by the Zambian Government.

This pilot project was successful in that it generated some income which will assist Kagem in restarting its principal operations.

Kagem, the statement said, continued to closely monitor developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the rise of the new variant. “Despite the ongoing challenges faced as a result of the pandemic, Kagem remains committed to delivering strong production and successful auctions in the 2021 financial year, to maintaining employment for the local workforce and to delivering financial contributions back to Zambia,” the mine said.

SOUTHERN Africa Centre for Constructive Resolution of Disputes (SACCORD) has urged political parties to take serious introspection on why political alliances have continued to fail in Zambia.

The National Democratic Congress and United Party for National Development UPND alliance is currently hanging in the balance following the announcement that all alliance members who wish to contest for any political position should stand on a UPND party ticket Speaking in an interview SACCORD executive director Boniface Cheembe said the country has struggled to have functional political alliances which have achieved the goals for which they were formed.

Mr Cheembe said the challenge is that the country has not taken proper

post-mortem or reflection of why political alliances have failed to materialise in Zambia.

Mr Cheembe said once reasons are established it will help political parties to know the dos and don’ts when forming political alliances and form a strong unit of purpose.

And Mr Cheembe has appealed to political parties to ensure that their internal wrangles are resolved amicably in order to help maintain peace. ‘’We have taken note and we are monitoring the unfolding in the NDC and UPND and we hope that none of these political differences will solicit for any acts of political violence,” Mr, Cheembe said.

He has since urged politicians to prioritise unity above all as they form alliances if they are to stand a test of time.

PEAKER of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini yesterday admonished Monze Central MP Jack Mwimbu for accusing Vice President Inonge Wina of having the propensity to mislead the nation.

“It is not acceptable, if you have a complaint against any member of the house there is a way of doing it not to insult as a course of action. This is an August house so can you withdraw the statement,” he said.

Mr Mwimbu was raising a point of order, asking whether the Vice President was in order to accuse the UPND of ensuring that the Public Order Act did not go through.

Zambian politics are childish and boring 15 Dear Editor, ZAMBIAN politics are childish and boring! No ideology in some political parties whatsoever!

Today you are with this party, next time you move to another party, the other day you are expelled, the following day you reconcile! Come on give us a break!!!

Most of our electorate do not even know the political ideologies of the parties they support!!!

I am a conservative with a bit of leaning towards social democracy! I despise liberalism and lack of patriotism! I believe in the strength of the state and independence of its citizens! I believe in strong family values and despise hypocrisy in religion!!!

I follow my own laid down principles rather than siding

with the moment. I believe in dominance of the state in exploitation of mineral resources to control externalities that arise from capitalism and its appetite for more profits!

I am a strong believer of active participation in international politics and again hate lack

of patriotism! The image of the country is bigger than the person. Common good is more important than individual good!

I believe in sovereign wealth funds and infrastructure development. I believe in a disciplined society that has ethics and knows aesthetics. I hate trash on roads

and vandalism of private and public property!

I am also a strong PanAfricanist!

That is why I am more of a Republican than a Democrat.

Which ideology do you follow?

Opposition alliance cannot succeed - Musenge

By PETER SICHALI

THE Opposition Alliance was bound to flop from onset because it was formed to propel Hakainde Hichilema’s agenda, National Democratic Congress (NDC) founder Secretary General Mwenya Musenge.

Mr Musenge said no meaningful alliance with UPND can succeed because all attempts to have an alliance are driven by selfish motives.

“No alliance with UPND can ever succeed because of Mr Hichilema and UPND’s agenda has always been about themselves, “Mr Musenge said.

Mr Musenge said the flop of the opposition alliance was expected from onset because of UPND is too selfish to accommodate views of others. ‘’The changing of the name from opposition alliance to UPND alliance is suggestive enough that it’s all about the UPND and other political parties are just being used to propel

their agenda, ”Mr Musenge said.

He said he was against the idea of forming an alliance with UPND from the onset because he knew that Mr Hichilema and UPND could not be trusted.

“When I was secretary of the NDC and decided to pull out of the alliance I was called all sorts names but today, I have been vindicate, “Mr Musenge said.

Mr Musenge said it was unfortunate that the NDC could allow itself to be used by the UPND. He said it was unfortunate that once the viable opposition has been reduced to a mere joke.

“Though what is happening in the NDC should not be celebrated, it’s important to mention that I have been vindicated,” Mr Musenge said.

Meanwhile, Patriots for Economic Progress (PeP) says it is saddened by internal wrangles that have engulfed the NDC leading to the expulsion of leader Chishimba Kambwili.

He said his company would continue to partner with Government as a reliable ally to combat the Covid-19 through contributions of various materials.

Mr Ndiaye was speaking yesterday when he handed over the 114 cylinders of medical oxygen worth K90,000.

The donation was handed over to the hospital on behalf of Mr Ndiaye by company Group Human Resources and Corporate Affairs Manager Davy Phiri yesterday.

“On behalf of Grizzly, I wish to announce that we are donating medical oxygen worth K90,000 representing over 1,300 kilogrammes or 114 cylinders towards the mitigation of the second wave of Covid-19.

Mr Ndiaye said his firm had been donating hand sanitizers and hypochlorous acid to the districts namely, Kitwe, Kalulushi, Lufwanyama, Mushindamo, and Kasempa.

He said the donations were a sign of ploughing back part of the profits not only into communities in which the company operates but the country at large.

And KTH head of clinical care, Namakando Liusha, said his institution was grateful that Grizzly Mining had decided to donate medical oxygen to help towards the fight the pandemic.

CHAMBISHI METALS FUTURE UNDER SPOTLIGHT

By KETRA KALUNGA

GOVERNMENT and investors in the Chambishi Metals Plc will chat the way forward on the mine which has been put under care and maintenance.

Last year, the Eurasian Resources Group (ERG) elected to place the plant on care and maintenance for only three months, citing the shortage of copper and cobalt concentrate as reasons for suspending operations.

It has however been more than a year since the facility was placed on care and maintenance, a situation which has prompted the Association of Mine Suppliers and Contractors to raise concern. But Ministry of Mines Permanent Secretary, Barnaby Mulenga, assured that arrangements for a meeting on the way forward were being made with the investors, who are currently in Europe.

Mr Mulenga said Government was

CONSTITUTION Types of constitution

There are only two types of constitution namely; (a) Written constitution- is a constitution whose provisions or contents are embodied or documented in a single formal document. (b) Unwritten constitution- is a constitution whose provisions are not found in a single document but in a collection of documents.

Note: written or unwritten constitution can either be flexible or rigid constitution.

Forms of constitution a) Flexible constitution is a constitution whose provisions are easy to amend, example is the Zambian constitution. b) Rigid Constitution is one that is difficult to amend. It can only be amended by a special body and special procedure. Such bodies include Constituent Assembly (CA), National Constitutional Conference (NCC) and the Referendum (Plebiscite).

Main parts of the Zambian constitution.

NOTE: The 1996 constitution begins with a preamble which is an introduction to the document.

The process of constitution making and adoption.

This means the process of approving the copy of a draft constitution.

There are three methods of adopting the constitution, these are; 1. Through Parliament- the draft constitution is taken to parliament where the members of parliament debate on the draft before adopting it. For example, Zambia used this three times in all the three constitution review commissions.

2. Constituent Assembly- (CA) • This is a body of representatives elected by their respective interest groups to formulate, amend or adopt a constitution of a country.

• Representatives are drawn from churches, learning institutions, trade unions and student bodies.

• This method is more democratic and more favourable to Zambian citizenry because it is free from government interference.

• The adoption of the constitution by a CA is more representative than by parliament.

• Countries such as the United States of America, India, Namibia, Uganda, South Africa, Kenya, and Ethiopia adopted their constitutions through the CA.

3. Referendum • The Draft constitution is subjected to the general public to approve it through a public vote.

• If more than half of the votes cast are in favour of the amendment (50%+1), the Constitution would have been adopted and the Republican President will assent the Draft copy to legitimise it. **The National Constitutional Conference (NCC) -The choosing of the members of Assembly of the NCC is similar to that of the CA in that its members are drawn from various interest groups but it is a conventional method. The only difference is that the final draft constitution of the NCC has to be adopted by parliament.

Characteristics of a good constitution A good constitution must be: • Clear- language used must not be too difficult for ordinary citizens must to understand.

• Be neither too rigid to prevent change nor too flexible to encourage tempering with the basic principles.

• Be stable and stand the test of time or must last for a long period of time (Durable).

• Protect and respond to the social, economic and political needs of citizens.

• Cater for the interests of various groups in society.

• Protect the rights of citizens.

Importance of a constitution to a nation.

A constitution is important because it;• Protects and promotes the rule of people.

• Sets out the composition and functions of the wings of government.

• Safeguards the fundamental rights and freedoms of citizens.

• Is owned and guarded by citizens.

• Ensures democratic governance.

•Gives equal opportunities for individual development.

‘I’M A VICTIM OF HACKING’ …says sex scandal-tainted Zim VP

H

ARARE - One of Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s deputies engulfed in a raging sex scandal on Thursday refused to resign saying he is a victim of hacking.

Vice-President Kembo Mohadi has been under pressure to step down after voice recordings of him allegedly organising to have sex with four different women, some of them married, surfaced online.

Gender activists petitioned the Zimbabwe Gender Commission to investigate the allegations against Mohadi while the opposition called for his resignation.

“Despite growing impatient because of days of weird character assassination, l wish to categorically state that the

allegations being levelled against me are not only false, but well-choreographed to demean, condescend, and soil my image as a national leader and patriot,” the VP told journalists in Harare.

“Despite the noise in digital media ecosystems, l wish to clearly state that l am innocent and a victim of political machinations being peddled through hacking and voice cloning.”

Hundreds of schoolgirls feared abducted in Nigeria’s Zamfara state ABUJA - Hundreds of schoolgirls are feared to have been kidnapped in the north-western state of Zamfara.

A teacher confirmed that at least 300 students were unaccounted for after yesterday’s early morning attack by gunmen.

A spokesman for the state’s governor has confirmed the attack but did not give details.

This is the latest mass abduction targeting schools in recent weeks. Armed gangs often seize schoolchildren for ransom.

At least 42 people, including 27 students, who were kidnapped last week in Kagara, in the neighbouring Niger state, are yet to be released.

In December, more than 300 boys were kidnapped by gunmen in Kankara in Katsina

He added: “lf anything is going to happen, it is going to be the President who is going to determine my future.”

Civil society organisations argued claims that one of the women involved in the scandal was Mohadi’s security aide raised questions about abuse of office.

“The allegations evidently implicate a culture of abuse of office and power by public officials for sexual advantage,” state and later released after negotiations.

But the 2014 kidnap of 276 schoolgirls in the north-eastern town of Chibok by Islamist militants Boko Haram brought global attention to the mounting security challenges Nigeria was facing.

Yesterday’s attack happened at 01:00 local time when a group of gunmen arrived at the Government Girls Secondary School in Jangebe town with pick-up vehicles and motorcycles, a teacher told news site Punch.

Some of the gunmen were

the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum and Women and Law in Southern AfricaZimbabwe said in a joint statement.

“A failure to make a public stand and ensure that there is accountability would be to severely undermine the fundamental values and principles that public officials stand upon and that which the public draws on for confidence in its government.”

Mohadi was appointed VP three years ago after the coup that toppled long time ruler Robert Mugabe.

Previously, he had served under Mugabe in various security portfolios since the 1990s.

Zimbabwe’s other VP is Retired General Constantino Chiwenga, who led the 2017 coup as then army commander. - DAILY NATION, Kenya. dressed as government security forces, the report said, adding that they forced the schoolgirls in the vehicles.

But other witnesses have said the armed men arrived on foot at the school.

Worried parents gathered outside the school and some went out into the bush to look for their daughters, witnesses say.

A teacher said of 421 students in the school at the time, only 55 had been unaccounted for, meaning more than 300 were believed to have been kidnapped. – BBC.

Bushiri fraud case postponed as State awaits outcome of extradition hearing JOHANNESBURG - The fraud, theft and money laundering case against self-proclaimed prophet and now fugitive Shepherd Bushiri has been postponed as the State awaits the outcome of his extradition hearing in Malawi.

Bushiri’s co-accused, Willah Mudolo, his wife Zethu and Landiwe Ntlokwana appeared in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.

Bushiri and his wife Mary, who is also a co-accused, were not present as they had fled the country, returning to their homeland of Malawi soon after being granted bail by the same court in November last year.

The accused face multiple charges of fraud, theft and money laundering in relation to an investment scam,

which allegedly defrauded investors to the tune of R102 million.

The State requested a lengthy postponement as it was waiting for the outcome of the Bushiris’ extradition hearing, set to start on March 8 in Malawi.

The prosecutor added that further investigations were underway. The matter was postponed to May 4.

News24 recently reported Bushiri and his wife obtained an interdict - in the High Court of Malawi preventing Malawian police and the Director of Public Prosecutions from effecting an arrest.

This, according to their lawyer Wapona Kita, who said that the Bushiris’ minor daughters were recently blocked from flying out of Malawi to Kenya.

Bushiri’s minor daughter has now been granted clearance to travel to Kenya for medical attention, his lawyer Wapona Kita told News24 on Thursday evening. Kita sent the said clearance to News24, which will allow the minor to receive medical attention for a condition that cannot be treated in Malawi.

Meanwhile, back in South Africa, Mudolo remains the only accused in custody after his bid for bail was denied in December.

The court said that Mudolo, who is a Zambian, was a flight risk, having attempted to flee the country three times before he was arrested at OR Tambo International Airport on the third attempt. He had bought a one-way ticket. – NEWS24.

Myanmar police fire into air to disperse protests as lawyer to Suu Kyi says access denied

N

AYPYITAW - Police dispersed protesters in Myanmar’s two biggest cities yesterday, firing stun grenades, rubber bullets and guns into the air, witnesses said, as the challenge to the army’s bid to re-impose its rule showed no sign of slackening.

At least one person was injured in the protests in the main city of Yangon, a witness said, and a photograph posted by a media outlet from the second city of Mandalay appeared to show a wounded protester in the back of an ambulance.

Police were not immediately available for comment.

Myanmar has been in crisis since the army seized power on February 1 and detained civilian government leader Aung San Suu Kyi and much of her party leadership after the military complained of fraud in a November election that her party won.

A lawyer for Suu Kyi, who is being held under house arrest, complained that he had not been granted access to her, three days before she is due to return to court, adding that it would undermine her right to a fair hearing.

There have been daily protests and strikes by democracy supporters for about three weeks, often drawing hundreds of thousands of people across the diverse country.

In Yangon, hundreds of mostly young people congregated again yesterday but they largely melted away when police prepared to move in.

Small groups gathered in other places to chant slogans and confront lines of riot police who later fired stun grenades and guns into the air to send people scattering.

“One house let me in to hide,” journalist Thu Zar told Reuters from the scene. “I can’t leave yet as the police are very near and firing into the air.”

A short time earlier, several people were detained, witnesses said, among them a Japanese journalist, a colleague said.

Domestic media and witnesses reported a similar situation in Mandalay where police also fired rubber bullets. It was not clear how the wounded man in the photograph was hurt.

‘LOSS OF RIGHTS’ Security forces have been more restrained than they were during earlier bouts of protest in the course of nearly half a century of military rule.

Military chief General Min Aung Hlaing says authorities were using minimal force. Nevertheless, at least three protesters and a policeman have been killed.

‘LOSS OF RIGHTS’ Security forces have been more restrained than they were during earlier bouts of protest in the course of nearly half a century of military rule.

The daughter of Myanmar’s independence hero spent nearly 15 years under house arrest for her efforts to end military rule. She now faces charges of illegally importing six walkie-talkie radios and of violating a natural disaster law by breaching coronavirus protocols.

Military chief General Min Aung Hlaing says authorities were using minimal force.

Nevertheless, at least three protesters and a policeman have been killed.

The army has promised a new election but has not set a date. A vote is not expected until after a one-year state of emergency the military imposed when it seized power.

Suu Kyi, 75, has been detained incommunicado in the capital, Naypyitaw, but her party and the throngs of protesters say its November election victory must be respected and the junta must hand back power.

The daughter of Myanmar’s independence hero spent nearly 15 years under house arrest for her efforts to end military rule. She now faces charges of illegally importing six walkie-talkie radios and of violating a natural disaster law by breaching coronavirus protocols.

A lawyer for her complained he was not able to prepare properly for her next hearing, on Monday.

“Even if I get to represent Aung San Suu Kyi I need to prepare for the documents and questions to be asked in court on March 1,” Khin Maung Zaw told reporters in Naypyitaw.

“I need instructions from her on how to conduct our defence at the court ... I’m concerned that there will be a loss of rights to access to justice and access to legal counsel.”

The spokesman for the ruling military council did not respond to a telephone call seeking comment.

The crisis raises the prospect of growing international isolation and investor jitters compounding difficulties for an economy already weighed down by the coronavirus.

The World Bank has halted payments to projects in Myanmar on withdrawal requests made after the coup, the bank said in a letter to the finance ministry seen by Reuters.

Britain, the United States and others have called for Suu Kyi’s release and the restoration of democracy and have imposed limited sanctions aimed at the junta and its business links.

FAZ SPURNS SPORTS COUNCIL ...Councillors to go ahead with halted FAZ elections From back page

And despite the Zambia national soccer team having failed to qualify to two consecutive Afcons under his reign, Kamanga is the favourite to retain his position going into today's polls.

The former Kabwe Warriors and Power Dynamos official is deemed to have given clubs the chance to benefit from various projects funded by the global soccer governing body FIFA. Munaile, a former FAZ vice-president will be seeking to emulate Kananga who beat football icon Kalusha Bwalya during the 2016 FAZ elections.

In the vice president category, former Zesco United CEO Justin Mumba will compete with Mandona Longa, Joseph Mulenga, Henschel Chitembeya and Gideon Mwenya.

Brenda Kunda will be looking to retain her position as women representative when she faces Priscilla Katoba, Nelly Mulambia, Hilda Mutangama and Kunda Bowa.

K-Line FC coach Mohammed warns Automotive From back page Meanwhile, Group B winners Livingstone Pirates date Siavonga Beetles who were runners up in Group A with nine points, three points behind eventual group winners Automotive FC.

ANCHESTER United and AC Milan will face off in the last 16 of the Europa League after being paired together in yesterday's draw in Nyon.

United, who beat Real Sociedad 4-0 on aggregate in the previous round, will face the seven-time European champions in a twolegged encounter after they squeezed past Red Star Belgrade on away goals.

The tie will pit Zlatan Ibrahimovic against his former club in United, where he won the 2017 edition of the Europa League.

The Swede has been in fine form this season as Milan bid for a first Italian league title since 2011, scoring 14 Serie A goals in 13 appearances at the age of 39.

United will be considered favourites for the tie however as they sit second in the Premier League having lost

just once in the English top flight since the start of November.

Milan meanwhile have surrendered top spot in Serie A to neighbours Inter Milan after a run of three defeats in five league matches which has Stefano Pioli's side looking over their shoulder at a host of rivals for a place in the Champions League.

Ajax will fancy their chances against Switzerland's Young Boys after the four-time European champions eliminated Ligue 1 leaders Lille on Thursday.

Granada were rewarded for making the last 16 in their first ever European campaign with a tie against Norway's Molde, while Roma coach Paulo Fonseca will be reunited with his old team Shakhtar Donetsk.

United's fellow Premier League teams Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will face Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos respective-

Nets roll to 8th straight win KYRIE Irving totalled 27 points and nine assists as the Brooklyn Nets recovered from a slow start and extended their season-high winning streak to eight games with a 129-92 victory over the Orlando Magic on Thursday night in New York.

The Nets are on their longest winning streak since 2006 and won their sixth straight without Kevin Durant (strained left hamstring).

James Harden added 20 points, seven assists and nine rebounds for the Nets, who shot 61.1 percent over the final three quarters, 53.3 percent overall and hit 20 3-pointers.

Reserve Landry Shamet added 19 as Brooklyn dominated in its second game since some fans were allowed to return.

Nikola Vucevic collected 28 points and 12 rebounds points for Orlando, which shot 40.2 percent and absorbed its most lopsided loss of the season. James Ennis III added 15 for the Magic, who were outrebounded 51-35.

Julius Randle collected 21 points and 14 rebounds and Derrick Rose made 7 of 11 shots from the floor to finish with 18 points for the Knicks.

Rose was inserted into the starting lineup in place of Elfrid Payton, who sat out for the first time this season due to an ailing hamstring.

De’Aaron Fox had 29 points and 11 assists and Harrison Barnes added 22 points for the reeling Kings, whose season-high losing streak reached nine games.

Washington Wizards 112 - Denver Nuggets 110 Bradley Beal scored 33 points, Russell Westbrook had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and visiting Washington beat Denver.

All five Grizzlies starters scored in double figures, including Dillon Brooks with 19 points in his return from a three-game absence caused by a thigh injury. Brooks’ 3-of-5 3-point shooting set the pace on a night Memphis made 11 of 19 shots from long range.

Clippers All-Star selections Kawhi Leonard and Paul George were held to 17 and 13 points, respectively.

Serge Ibaka added another 13 points for Los Angeles, and Reggie Jackson scored 12 points off the bench.

KITWE ON TENTERHOOKS

...as Nkana and Power Dynamos face off in explosive derby From back page "Nkana are motivated having qualified for the Confederations Cup group stage and for us we have to stay focused. This game might be a turning point for us. If we can get a goal and defend, it will be good," Mutapa said.

Meanwhile, Kaindu, whose first derby experience was when he was coaching Power Dynamos said the derby is an important match especially for the passionate set of fans from the two sides.

Kaindu said it is unfortunate that fans will not be able to watch the crucial fixture which will be played behind closed doors.

Despite knowing that current form does not matter when the two giants lock horns, Kaindu is banking on Nkana's great run in the Confederations Cup having been motivated with a 3-2 aggregate win over TAS de Casablanca of Morocco to reach the group stage of the continental competition.

In other Super Division matches scheduled for today, league leaders Zanaco will host Green Eagles in another clash of the titans.

Zanaco are determined to pick a win to maintain top position while Eagles will be looking for a win at Sunset Stadium to redeem themselves from their recent poor

Libya Football Federation announces stadium ban to be lifted THE Libya Football Federation (LFF) has announced the first steps in the lifting of a ban on the use of its stadiums for international matches.

Security issues means that Libyan clubs and its national team have not been able to play on home soil for more than seven years.

The news came after a recent visit from a Confederation of African Football (Caf) delegation to inspect facilities and the security situation.

"I have good news today, especially for football fans and all Libyans, which is the lifting of the complete ban on all our stadiums, especially the ban in terms of security," said LFF president Abdulhakim Al-Shalmani in a video message on Twitter yesterday.

The LFF's deputy secretary general Mohammed Gremida confirmed to BBC Sport Africa clarified that the first stadium set to host games is the Benina Martyrs Stadium in Benghazi He added that the lifting of the ban depends on the fulfilment of several requirements over the next 10 days. – BBC.

Namungo of Tanzania grab final group place NAMUNGO of Tanzania secured the one remaining place in the group phase of the African Confederation Cup, despite losing to Primeiro de Agosto of Angola on Thursday.

Namungo were beaten 3-1 by the Angolans but went through 7-5 on aggregate having won the first leg of their play-off 6-2.

Both legs of the tie were played in Tanzania after Covid 19-related issues meant Primeiro were unable to host their home leg in Luanda.

Namungo will now feature in the group phase of Africa's second tier club competition for the first time.

The Tanzanians will be in Group D alongside Morocco's Raja Casablanca, Pyramids of Egypt and Zambian champions Nkana.

The group-stage matches are due to begin next month, with the top two in each group progressing to the quarter-finals.
