UNDER NEW NORMAL GOVERNMENT’S directive to schools that they come up with flexible payment plans for tuitions to allow for parents and guardians meet their obligations makes economic sense. As schools reopen, especially non-examination classes, the payment of fees is a natural development. The only snag being that for a lot of parents, this is another difficult hurdle. We should be alive to the fact that the economic tsunami arising from the global Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating effect not only on national economies and corporate entities but individuals as well. There are people who have lost their source of income after their companies closed amidst the Covid-19 pandemic as they lost employment. Worldwide, the tourism sector, particularly hotels have been the most affected as countries imposed travel restrictions and sealed their borders. Major hotels for example have been closed since about March in Zambia and some might never reopen. Broken down, it means that thousands of people have lost jobs. These are some of the people who have children at schools and institutions of higher learning. But we are happy that Government has given them some breathing space by directing schools to introduce flexible terms for payment of fees. Minister of General Education Dennis Wanchinga said yesterday that institutions of learning should initiate flexible payment plans for school fees without putting parents under pressure. Dr Wanchinga says where possible, institutions should allow for other alternative forms of payment other than cash. Yes, it is not always that one must pay in cash to meet payments and the minister is right that schools allow alternative means of paying fees. It is a very practical way of helping those without the means to meet cash payments. It is a suggestion that must be accepted wholeheartedly because it offers learners a chance to remain in school and continue with their education rather than have their learning curtailed through no fault of their own. Above all, it sends the correct signal to the public that they have a pro-poor government in place that will ensure that everyone has a chance to access education. The onus must now be on school managements and parents to discuss how they can make this work so that there is a win-win situation for all. What comes through the minister’s statement is that Government does not want any learner to be chased from school on account that their parent or guardian could not pay the school fees. Although the situation pertaining to private schools is different, at least public schools have been shown the way to go – which does not discriminate against anyone. Our advice to private schools is to take a leaf from the government’s directive and see how they can ensure they recover what they have lost by adopting payment plans that will see them retain pupils on their registers – by offering parents flexible terms too. Let no learner should be left behind.

The new company, Auspex International, has kept ex-Cambridge Analytica director Mark Turnbull at the helm. While the Cairo-born investor Ahmad Al-Khatib, now London-based, was the former director of Emerdata, a firm established to rescue and rebrand the Cambridge Analytica operation after its 2018 scandal, given that it ceased doing business and filed for bankruptcy in the UK.

Cop locked up? as 10 suspects flee From Page 1

The officer only named as Sergeant Kapoma stationed at Choma Central Police Station was thrown into the cells to help with investigations into how the 10 escaped while he was on duty. According to reliable sources, the 10 suspects who escaped are under investigations for capital offences including suspected murder. The source revealed that the jail break happened in the early hours of Septem-

ber 11 and no sign of break in or forced entry were noticed. “It’s like the lock was just opened because there were no signs of tempering with the locking system or the grill gates,” the source said. Efforts to get a comment from the Commissioner of Police for Southern Province Diamond Likashi proved futile by press time as his phone went unanswered while Police spokesperson, Esther Katongo said she had not received such information.

2, 000 bags of bad maize destroyed By PETER MALASHA

GOVERNMENT has destroyed over 2, 000 x 50 kg bags of mealie meal meant for relief food in Luano after it certified them to be unfit for human consumption, District Commissioner Christopher Chibuye confirmed. Mr. Chibuye said destruction of the mealie meal follows the issuance of the seizure form which was consented to by the miller. According to Mr. Chibuye, the miller used the maize that was a bit wet which led the commodity to go bad during fermentation process. He said it was for this reason that the whole consignment of about 2,240 x 50kg bags of mealie meal

was recommended for destruction by way of burning. “The mealie meal was not good for human consumption. It was for this reason that they issued a seizure form which was consented to by the miller," said Mr. Chibuye. He appealed to suppliers of mealie meal to ensure that they supplied maize that was fit for human consumption.

CHOMA MAN FOUND WITH 12 ROUNDS AMMO By MULENGA MUSONDA

59 –YEAR-OLD farmer has been arraigned in the Choma Magistrates Court for illegal possession of 12 rounds of ammunition. Wallace Kanjila appeared before Senior Resident Mag-

istrate Idah Mupemo charged with unlawful possession of ammunitions contrary to the Firearms Act of the Laws of Zambia. Allegations are that Kanjila had in his possession 2×12 balls of ammunition without a licence. The incident happened on February 20, 2020 in Choma,

the accused was apprehended on July 31 and had remained in custody since then. When he appeared for plea, Kanjila vehemently denied the allegations levelled against him compelling Magistrate Mupemo to record a plea of not guilty. Court: Have you understood the charge?

SCHOOLS managements should engage parents in coming up with flexible payment plans for tuition fees as both examination and non-examination classes re-open, Minister of General Education Dennis Wanchinga has said. Dr Wanchinga has directed all the learning institutions to make arrangement to recover the material that was lost when schools were on recess, to help maintain the school calendar. Dr Wanchinga says the ministry will provide further guidance on this matter. Meanwhile, Dr Wanchinga has announced that non-examination classes will resume lessons

on Monday, September 21, 2020 to allow parents and learners prepare, while examination classes will go ahead and re-open tomorrow. And Dr Wanchinga, who is also acting Higher Education Minister says universities and colleges under the TEVET system that were allowed to open between September 14 and 28 2020 will now re-open on Monday, September 28, 2020. Dr Wanchinga says this is necessary to allow the institutions to prepare for the return of students and ensure adherence to Covid-19 measures. Dr Wanchinga explained that it is prudent to give parents with children in non-examination classes time to prepare for the resumption of lessons, as most of them have reduced

Kanjila: Yes, I have. Court: Do you admit or deny? Kanjila: I deny. Court: I record a plea of not guilty. The matter was then adjourned to September 23 for trial after Public Prosecutor Dexter Kwalela made the application. Kanjila was remanded in custody.

Millers buy 600,000mt of maize By SILUMESI MALUMO

THE Millers Association of Zambia (MAZ) has so far bought more than 600, 000 metric tonnes of maize out of its targeted 1.8 million in the current maize marketing season. MAZ president Andrew Chintala said a number millers under the association were actively involved in buying of maize. He said in an interview yesterday that the association would manage to meet its target this year. While Food Reserve Agency (FRA) has only managed to buy about 290, 000 metric tonnes of maize out of its target of about one million metric tonnes. FRA Chief Executive Officer Chola Kafwabulula said the pace at which they were buying maize was not bad and that it was expected to rise exponentially between September and November.

What MAZ has bought so far was twice that of FRA. Mr Chintala said before the marketing season ends, the 1.8 metric tonnes would have been bought because it had made strides in mopping up the commodity. “What we want, Mr Chintala said, is to have our own maize for production. “So far we are on course in ensuring that we reach our target of this year. “All what we want is that we

have enough maize in our reserves so that we continue production without any difficulties. Our members are out there on the market to ensure that we buy what is required,” Mr Chintala said. Mr Chintala however said the association supported sentiments made by President Edgar Lungu that there were some millers who were not participating in the maize marketing season but waiting for the FRA to offload subsidised maize.

income due to Covid-19 effects and other factors. On June 1, 2020, examination classes were allowed to resume after being on recess in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the same month, colleges of education were allowed to resume classes. Dr Wanchinga has explained that examination classes and colleges of education will therefore resume classes tomorrow after going on holiday for two weeks. He has also urged learning institutions to ensure they prepare adequately for the arrival of students and pupils, while parents have also been advised to buy masks for their children who will be returning to school. During the opening of the fifth session of the 12th

He said the association was aware that failure to actively participate in the maize marketing season had potential to disadvantage genuine millers who may later need to access maize from the FRA. “We indeed know that some millers are facing challenges to buy maize because the farmers are holding on to maize. They want to sell their maize when school reopens because they will be able to support children when they sell the maize. “But what is important is that let everyone participate so that even when we have a shortage of maize at some point Government will be able to assist us because they knew we had enough but we have only run out of stock. “But if we don’t participate it will be difficult to convince Government to assist us when we run out of stock because it will think it was deliberate as we only wanted subsidised maize,” Mr Chintala said.

Use flexible payment plans, minister urges schools By JULIET MAKWAMA

Dr Wanchinga

National Assembly on Friday, President Edgar Lungu announced the opening of schools at all levels across the country for learners to acquire lessons under the new normal. Meanwhile, Dr Wanchinga says institutions of learning should initiate flexible payment plans for school fees without putting parents under pressure. Dr Wanchinga says where possible, institutions

should allow for other alternative forms of payment other than cash. Dr Wanchinga has also directed learning institutions to work with the health authorities to ensure there is adherence to health guidelines. He has advised parents to ensure learners have personal protective equipment and that there will be no excuse for failing to provide facemasks.

THE Lusaka City Council (LCC) has given owners of non-runner vehicles that are parked at Nyumba Yanga Market carpark up to September 30, 2020 to remove them or they be auctioned. LCC public relations manager George Sichimba said 24 vehicles had been parked at the market for a period ranging from three months to six years without owners paying parking levies. He said the ultimatum follows the failure by the owners of the affected vehicles to respond to demand notices which were issued on August, 24 2020. Mr Sichimba said failure to comply may result in Council initiate the process of auctioning the affected vehicles in line with the Disposal of Uncollected Goods Act Cap 410 of the laws of Zambia. “The parking of vehicles at the market has not only deprived council of revenue in form of parking levies but it has also made the place unsightly. “The public should be reminded that council parking areas are not meant for storage of faulty vehicles for a long time without paying fees,” he said.

‘STUBBORN’ TANKER DRIVERS’ UNION WARNED

Chilufya backs ECL

By NOEL IYOMBWA

GOVERNMENT will not sit and watch trade unions that are not representing workers adequately wanting to discredit government, Ministry of Labor permanent secretary Chanda Kaziya has said. Reacting to a statement by Zambia Union of Tanker Drivers (ZUDDAW) to defer government directive to stop collecting K370 union membership fees from tanker drivers, Mr Chanda said government would not allow anarchy in the labour movement, and that people should be able to

perform their function in line with the law. The ZUDDAW as a union has people with little understanding of the law and how things should be done, he said. He said the Ministry of Labour has on a number of occasions been trying to support the union in building capacity but to no avail. Mr Chanda said the union has been deducting money from its members without showing how the money was being used and that the union had lost legitimacy because it had never held a quadrilateral conference under the supervi-

sion of the Ministry of Labour. He accused union officials of not standing for the workers but instead interested in money adding that workers were supposed to be represented not charged. “They are only interested in their pockets not the interests of their members, they don’t even have offices. “They also engage in management issues it is not the role of trade union to say who and when an employer should employee people. He stated that it was against the law to force workers to join a trade union or force them to

pay membership fee. Mr Chanda warned that once government revoked the registration certificate, any union member who would be found operating will be prosecuted. ZUDDAW general secretary Humphrey Mr Kapesha recently said following a meeting held across the 72 branches of the union, it was agreed that the tanker drivers would continue contributing the K370 member fee. He said it was sad that Mr Kaziya, could concentrate on petty issues leaving important issues affecting tanker drivers.

Government challenges local contractors GOVERNMENT has implored local contractors to commit themselves to work once they are given contracts by the government. Local Government Minister Charles Banda says the government wants to see quality works from local contractors if they are to be given more contracts. "Prove yourself that you can deliver quality work if you are to be given more contracts by the government," Mr. Banda said. He explained that the government wants to see more local contractors given contracts as this will help to grow the economy but noted that this will only happen if they show that they can first deliver. ZANIS reports that the Min-

ister said this when he inspected the construction of the 21 kilometer Lukupa-Mwamba to Kalense road in Kasama district which is being upgraded to gravel standard. Dr. Banda has since hailed Construction World, a local contractor that is working on the project for showing quality work. He has however, urged the company to expedite the work so that people in the area can start using it. The Local Government Minister who also toured TAZARA market has commended Kasama Municipal Council for delivering quality works on the shelter at the market. Dr. Banda said the council has done quality work on the

‘Over 2, 800 Chisomo residents need NRCs’ By PETER MALASHA

MORE than 2, 800 people in Chief Chisomo’s area in Serenje need National Registration Cards (NRCs), a ward councillor Peter Mukosha has said. Mr. Mukosha said the ward should also benefit from mobile registration exercise so people could obtain national identity cards. In an interview, Mr. Mukosha said over 5, 000 households were in dire need of NRCs. Mr. Mukosha said according to the Zambian laws a person who reaches the age of 16, should be in possession of the NRC but the situation was different in Chisomo. Mr. Mukosha said because of the terrain and geographical features of the area which was typical rural set up in the valley, many adults have never obtained NRCs. “Over 2, 800 people of Mupetauke here in chief Chi-

somo in Chisomo ward are in dire need of NRCs. Many adults have grown up without in possession of the national identity cards. "The area is typical rural set up. There is no form of development. There are no schools, no health facilities and other social amenities. People's way of living is typical rural," he said. Mr. Mukosha added that there was need for the government to send a team of mobile registration officers to issue NRCs. Mr. Mukosha said a lot of people do not have NRCs a situation which should be checked before the 2021 general elections so that those without could be captured and participate in elections. He noted that if the situation remained unchecked, thousands of eligible voters would be disenfranchised. Chisomo is the farthest ward in Serenje bordering Petauke and Nyimba in Eastern Province.

market shelter and has since urged other local authorities to emulate Kasama and do similar projects. Meanwhile, the contractor working on the Lukupa-Mwamba –Kalense road has pledged to do quality works on the road project. Construction World Limited Site Engineer, Frank Mangena said his company is grateful to the government for awarding them a contract adding that it will deliver the best road. Mr. Mangena further explained that the company has so far done bush clearing and sub-grading on the entire stretch. And residents have thanked the government for embarking on the construction of the road. Shepherd Kangwa

said the upgrading of the 21 kilometer road to gravel standard will ease the movement of people in the area. Earlier, Dr. Banda also paid a courtesy call on Northern Province Minister Chungu Bwalya who praised the Ministry of Local Government for helping to repair some feeder roads in the province. Mr. Bwalya said the repair of the road has helped to open up farming areas as farmers can easily transport their produce to the market. He has also asked the Minister of Local Government to help push for a Land Development Fund for the province from the Ministry of Lands so that more roads especially in new districts can be opened up.

THE Ministry of Health has backed the cautious relaxation of restrictions that President Edgar Lungu announced. Minister of Health Chitalu Chilufya says reduced positivity to Covid has informed the President s decisions. "We have repeatedly stated that President Lungu is presiding over a scalable multisectoral plan, and that the evolution of the epidemic will guide decisions on restrictions," Dr Chilufya said Dr Chilufya said during the Covid 19 daily updates in Lusaka that President Lungu is on terra firma as he has cautiously eased restrictions due to the low case rate, and has emphasized that strict adherence to public health measures will be key.

line with his aspiration to save lives, livelihoods and protect the economy Dr Chilufya said there should be strict adherence to health guidelines by everyone. He said that the President saw it appropriate to open the economy hence the need for tighter adherence and implementation of public health measures in order to reach normalcy. Dr. Chilufya said the decision to reopen schools, higher learning institutions and partial operation of bars and nightclubs is due to reduced positivity recorded over the last three weeks. He reminded people that should there be complacency on health guidelines the head of state will be forced to tighten restrictions on patronage of bars and nightclubs. Dr Chilufya explained that the ministry will continue engaging the ministry of Education and the Ministry of Local Government so that schools adhere to the guidelines. Meanwhile, Dr Chilufya announced that Zambia has recorded 143 new Coronavirus cases out of 1, 390 tests. six BID reported in Ndola and Chingola districts, the death toll is now 312.

ECZ praised over polling streams conversion By JULIET MAKWAMA

GEARS says the decision by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to initiate the conversion of polling streams into polling stations during the 2021 general election will build confidence in the electoral process among stakeholders. GEARS Executive Director McDonald Chipenzi says the move will ensure transparency and stakeholders’ confidence

in the management of electoral results. Mr Chipenzi says the initiative is a good move which will ensure efficiency, transparency and confidence in the elections result management in the electoral process. Recently, the ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Patrick Nshindano announced that the electoral body will be piloting the conversion of polling streams into polling stations in the upcoming Mwansabombwe and Lukashya Parliamentary by-elec-

tions. Mr Nshindano said the ECZ will review the success of the pilot scheme and engage political parties on how best the process can be improved in readiness for the 2021 general elections. “We want to encourage the ECZ to continue piloting such kind of strategies so that gaps can be identified before major elections are held,” Mr Chipenzi said. Mr Chipenzi however says the ECZ was not exhibiting the same zeal when it comes to printing ballot papers locally.

He says it is time Zambia seriously considered printing ballot papers locally to save costs. Mr Chipenzi says similar efforts should however have been demonstrated in the printing of ballot papers by ensuring the process was done locally. He said the commission should have used the numerous by-elections that Zambia has had at both local government and constituency levels to test the capacity of local printers to print ballot papers.

ABUSIVE HUBBY DIVORCED By EPHRAIM CEASAR

WOMAN of Lusaka’s Misisi Compound has dragged her alleged abusive husband to Kanyama Local Court for divorce after he beat her and left her unconscious. Beatrice Mudenda, 30, a house wife sued her husband, Henry Kapata, 35, a security guard of the same locality for gender-based violence. Details of the case are that the two got married in 2018 under traditional law with K4, 000 dowry having been

paid in full. On an unknown date in August, 2020 Kapata is said to have beaten Beatrice in front of their two-year-old girl to the extent of losing two of her teeth. Narrating amid tears, Mudenda told the court that Kapata was only a good husband for eight months but that after that he started taking alcohol and became abusive towards her for no good reason. She said this was why she wanted divorce as she was afraid of being killed. She added that because of

Teenage thief placed on counselling By MULENGA MUSONDA

THE Choma Juveniles Court has convicted a 15-year- old boy and placed him on onemonth counselling for breaking into a house and stealing a Plasma Television among other properties valued at more than K4, 500. In this matter, the boy, a hawker stood charged with house breaking and theft contrary to the Laws of Zambia. It was alleged that he broke into Bright Mwewa’s house and stole a Plasma television, a curtain and a blanket all valued at K4, 810. The incident happened on August 3, 2020 in Choma When the matter came up for judgement, Senior Resident Magistrate Idah Mupemo was satisfied that the state had proved their case to the required standard and found the juvenile offender guilty. According to the social welfare report by the Juvenile Inspector Zyambo Kazembe, the juvenile who is not in school is a troubled youth who had joined bad company and got involved in deviant behaviour. In passing the order, Magistrate Mupemo considered the Juvenile Inspector’s recommendation that he be given a second chance as he was a first offender. The court ordered that he undergoes one-month counselling with the Social Welfare department to give a report fortnightly.

the beating she now had one blind eye and two missing front teeth yet she was born without defects. In his defence, Kapata refused to divorce claiming he only beat his wife once in

2019 but stopped after she took him to the police. He said the biggest problem was that his wife was careless especially with food, adding: “When I ask her to be economical she unleash-

es insults at me and my late parents. “Ine sini funa divorce because Bible ilesa, problem niyakuti mukazi wanga ali careless nava kudya plus pa nyumba analeta six ba bululu bake nishi tinkhala mu two naka kitchen, manje ine nifola K1, 500, plus rent we pay K750, futi aba babululu bake niba khulu youngest is 16 years,” Kapata said. In passing judgement Magistrate Mubukwanu Matalaka granted Mudenda divorce after she showed the court the medical reports from the Kanyama clinic.

DETAILS Details of the case are that the two got married in 2018 under traditional law with K4, 000 dowry having been paid in full. On an unknown date in August, 2020 Kapata is said to have beaten Beatrice in front of their two-year-old girl to the extent of losing two of her teeth. The court told the families from both side to see to it that whatever property the couple had was shared fairly and advised Mudenda to press further charges against Kapata so that he can stop his abusive behaviour.

‘MEDICINAL’ MARIJUANA LANDS MAN IN JAIL By MULENGA MUSONDA

ESPITE explaining to the court that the marijuana he was found with was for use on his wound as recommended by a friend, the court slapped the Choma man in his mid-

20s with a six-month jail term. This was in a matter in which Emmanuel Moono of Choma’s Zambia Township was convicted for trafficking in psychotropic substances by the Choma Magistrates Court. Particulars of the offence

are that Moono on August 20 trafficked in 5.01 grammes of Marijuana, a herbal product of cannabis sativa without lawful authority. According to the facts dictated by Public Prosecutor Catherine Sakala, the accused was apprehended after Drug Enforcement Com-

mission Officers in Choma were tipped that an unknown person was selling suspected cannabis to the public in Zambia Township. When the facts were read to him, Moono admitted that the statement was a clear reflection of what happened. In mitigation, Moono told

the court that he was misled by his friend who told him Marijuana would cure his wound on the leg. Despite his explanation and plea for forgiveness, Magistrate Mupemo slapped him with a six months sentence with effect from date of arrest.

Debutants impress as Arsenal beat promoted Fulham DEBUTANTS Gabriel and Willian impressed as Arsenal blew away promoted Fulham 3-0 in the opening game of the Premier League season. Former Chelsea winger Willian had a hand in all three goals and Ga-

briel - a £23m signing from Lille - scored in his first game in English football. Arsenal were highly impressive, while Fulham caused themselves too many problems at the back. Both sides have played

and won at Wembley twice for the Gunners in the 48 days since the last Premier League season finished. Alexandre Lacazette scored the opener from close range after Willian's effort was saved. Centre-back Gabriel

then scored from Willian's corner with his shoulder. Willian, who also hit a post from a free-kick, picked out Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng with a perfect cross-field ball and the captain curled home Arsenal's third. - BBC

HOLD ON …Daka urged to stick with RB Salzburg By MICHAEL MIYOBA

ED Bull Salzburg striker Patson Daka must not rush into signing for a new club which will want to use him as a second option, says Zambia Sports Fans Association (ZASPOFA) patron Peter Makembo Daka, the former Nchanga Rangers and Power Dynamos striker has attracted interest from English giants, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspurs after his exploits in the Austrian Bundesliga. M a k e m - bo who believes that Daka is ready to feature for any team in Europe said there is need for the Chipolopolo striker to use this season to develop more as a player with the Austrian giants who have become regular features in the UEFA Champions League. Daka who scored a brace against Liverpool last month is said to have

rejected a move to Tottenham after his manager and former Spurs striker Freddie Kanoute told the English outfit that the Chipolopolo forward intends to remain in Austria for the coming season, a move Makembo believes is right for the player’s progress. Makembo cautioned Daka who scored a haul to help Redbull Salzburg thrash SchwarzWeiß Bregenz 10-0 in the first round of the UNIQA ÖFB Cup not to sign for a club which will want to use him as a second option when he can deliver as a starter at any club. “Patson Daka has been impressive for Red Bull Salzburg that is why big teams in Europe are after him. But what I would advise the young man is not to rush to going to a club where he will end up regretting. “For now I would rather he stays at Red Bull Salzburg where he is enjoying game time as the main striker. Yes he is ripe and has the potential to represent Zambia at the biggest clubs in the world but now is not the right time. Let him use this season to develop and mature more as a striker,” Makembo said. Meanwhile, Makembo has urged local players to emulate Daka and midfield genius Enock Mwepu who are representing Zambia diligently in the Austrian Bundesliga. Makembo said there is need for the locally-based stars to learn from the hard work of the 2017 under-20 AFCON winners who are among the most wanted stars in Europe. He said Zambia is blessed with a lot of talented players who can represent the country at any club in the world but discipline and hard work is cardinal for players to go far with their football careers.

Spanish move to open doors - Mubanga By MICHAEL MIYOBA ZAMBIA international striker Hellen Mubanga says her move to Spain where she will feature for Spanish side Zaragoza will open doors for local female players to move to European clubs. Speaking before departure for Spain on Friday, Bubanga said going to Spain with Shepolopolo team mate Rachael Nachula after the duo signed three years deals in June, will inspire other local female players to work hard to move to Europe. “Firstly, I want to say thanks to God, my family, Red Arrows, my coaches, teammates and everyone that has been involved in my career. I am excited to start my career at Zaragoza and promise to put in my best to make my country proud and also my new club,” Mubanga said. “I am going there with Racheal which is good for Zambian football because it will open doors for more players to play in Europe. On my part, I will continue working hard and being determined because I believe the sky is not even the limit.” The Shepolopolo players have both signed three-year deals with the club, Nachula

from current Zambia Women’s league champions Green Buffaloes and Mubanga from Red Arrows. Meanwhile, Nachula’s aim is to help Zaragoza to qualify to Spain’s women’s top league. “I am confident that, with my experience in Zambia and Africa, I will help Zaragoza gain promotion to the top league in Spain,” Nachila told BBC Africa Sport earlier. “It is every footballer’s dream to play in Europe, and this for me is a dream come true.” Mubanga and Nachula formerly of Red Arrows and Green Buffaloes respectively, left the country via Emirates Airlines on Friday afternoon after completing all formalities since they were signed on a three-year deal in June, 2020 by the Spanish second division side. The duo was influential as Zambia made history by qualifying to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games which were originally scheduled to take place in July 2020 but were rescheduled to July 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Nachula and Mubanga join the growing number of players from the Copper Queens set up trekking into foreign leagues. The duo join Misozi Zulu and Rachael Kundananji who play for BIIK Kazygurt in Europe while Shepolopolo captain Barbara Banda plays in the Chinese league where she turns out for Shengli Shanghai.

GRANNY PELTS EX-LOVER WITH STONES

N a dramatic incident that left residents in Makokoba suburb shocked, a 52-year-old woman who was allegedly owed US$5 by her 47-year–old ex-lover hit him with stones while demanding her money. Sydney Khumalo told a court that his ex-lover Lindiwe Ncube accused him of refusing to pay back the US$5 he owed her. He said he told her that he owed her nothing and they were no longer in a relationship, he told court. But it seems that did not go down well with Ncube who was already seething with anger. She allegedly shouted obscenities at her ex-lover. Ncube, the court heard, reached for a stone and hit Khumalo on the forehead. The man fell and bled excessively. The court further heard the fuming Ncube continued attacking Khumalo with stones all

over the body. A crowd gathered, the court heard, to witness an unusual incident that involved the ex-lovers. While lying on the ground, Khumalo said he pleaded for help from the residents. It took the intervention of one of the community elders to restrain Ncube who was all over the helpless Khumalo who was groaning and wriggling on the ground, the court heard. Khumalo was rushed to hospital for treatment. A police report was made leading to the arrest of Ncube. She appeared before Tredgold magistrate Shepherd Munjanja on Monday. She pleaded guilty to a physical abuse charge. She was remanded out of custody to Monday next week for sentencing. - B-METRO

Bizarre wish granted

…as man, who dug his own grave ten years ago dies and is buried in it DEATH is like a ticking bomb and it is also one of the greatest tragedies to befall us hence people must prepare for it. And for that matter digging one’s own grave is really no different than people preparing for the end by writing their will or preparing their own funeral service. Here is an uplifting story of a man whose bizarre desire was achieved after the cold embrace of death. Ten years ago, Moses Qathe Moyo from Hlababomvu Village under Chief Bidi in Kezi, Matabeleland South province left many people shellshocked when he dug his own grave — and his lone wish to be laid to rest at a place of his own choice was unanimously granted when his family buried him in it on Thursday this week. For Moyo, who died on Sunday aged 60 and after a long illness, the act of digging his own grave in advance seemed a logical thing to do as he preferred his own form of final disposal.

The grave was covered with a heavy cement slab that reportedly took about 12 “muscular” men to remove it during his burial. Moyo whose strange desire created a tonal nightmare to everyone who followed the story reportedly suffered a stroke twice after digging the grave. A relative who declined to be named claiming they were not authorised to speak on behalf of the fam-

ily said when the story first emerged in 2010 Moyo explained his reason for digging his grave in advance. “Moses dug his own grave sometime in 2010 claiming that he had received a vision from God instructing him to do so. Death seemed not to worry him as he said it was already done for him so he wanted everything ready for his burial. He also said when he died, he didn’t

want people grappling with a myriad of choices in the mid of sadness. So when he dug his own grave he argued that he was eliminating such pressure usually experienced when burying a loved one,” said the relative. He added that before he breathed his last, Moyo reminded them that burying him in his own grave was one big thing that they would have to do without fail. B-METRO

Dumped man resists break up BREAKING up with someone is hard. It becomes even worse when the person you’re trying to break up with refuses to accept it. Caroline Chitewe from Bulawayo’s Emganwini suburb claimed her ex-husband Farai Mundondo, a DStv installer, was finding it hard to accept the end of their relationship after he threatened to kill her supposedly as punishment for refusing to reconcile. Although it’s now over between the two of them, for Mundondo it seems it was not until he himself says it’s over. Chitewe said Mundondo, who

is allegedly having trouble moving on, should admit that he could not control everything. “I have been in an unregistered customary union with Farai Mundondo from April 2015 until it ended in August 2019 and we have two minor children together. From that time Farai has failed to accept that we are no longer together. He calls and sends me insulting messages. He has also threatened to kill me and his threatening behaviour is scaring me. I am now living in fear to an extent that I have since moved the children from

my place to stay with my brother,” stated Chitewe in her submissions for a protection order against Mundondo. Their children are aged two and eight. A seemingly remorseful Mundondo didn’t refute his ex-wife’s accusations.

“I am not opposed to her application,” he succinctly said. Magistrate Nomasiko Ndlovu who presided over the matter then ordered him not to insult his exwife and not to go to her workplace and house. B-METRO

Toddler leaves people in tears as baking with grandma descends into chaos A TODDLER with a serious passion for food has gone viral after a video of him baking cookies with grandma descended into chaos. Mum Christy shared a clip of her two-year-old son Cade on Facebook captioned ‘Cooking with Cade. Special Guest: Nana’ and it’s since racked up millions upon millions of views on social media. His cooking method of attempting to eat as many ingredients as possible before they make it to the oven - including raw egg and a stick of butter have won Cade a huge following online. In the latest video, Cade and his grandma begin the cookie mix by pouring a large cup of sugar into the mixing bowl - which is the cue for the little chef to start digging in. Although nana is quick to block his first attempt, Cade simply drops the cup and uses his free hand to grab a handful of sugar and stuff it into his mouth before anyone can stop him. He then repeats the move to sample a huge mouthful of butter as his grandma desperately

tries - and fails - to stop him. She also teaches him to crack an egg, but the second the yolk lands in the bowl, it’s in Cade’s fist and shoved straight in his mouth. The rest of the ingredients go the same way but the hungry toddler shows impressive restraint to stop himself gobbling down the completed mixture as it goes on the baking tray. After a change of clothes and a wash, Cade returns to inspect his impressive creation - and still has plenty of room to tuck into the finished thing. The clip left many people in stitches, as one replied to say: “There is nothing that boy won’t put in his mouth, and he has the quickest hands. The videos are so hilarious. You can tell what he’s gonna put in his mouth, which is about all of it. Keep ‘em coming.” A second said: “I love this!! I was almost peeing my pants when he ate that egg... he is adorable!” Another added: “IT’S THE WAY HE WAITS UNTIL IT’S POURED TO AGGRESSIVELY STEAL IT OUT THE BOWLdidkwkdkdkskskskfqkw.”- MIRROR

Katy Perry inspired by Taylor Swift to make tell-all documentary KATY Perry is plotting a tell-all documentary about her life and career after being inspired by Taylor Swift's “Miss Americana”. The “Chained to the Rhythm” singer - who welcomed her first child with fiance Orlando Bloom, a baby girl named Daisy Dove, into the world last month has revealed she's been collecting footage from the road since the release of her 2017 album, 'Witness', and she's gradually building up each chapter to form a future film. As per the Daily Star newspaper's Wired column, Katy said: "At first there was a thought about putting something out, but as time goes on the story gets juicier. "I say that because I think that 'Witness' time of my life is just one chapter in a very large book that is yet to be finished. "We're only really five chapters in and it's maybe eight chapters, nine chapters, 10 chapters and I have incredible footage - I'm always documenting stuff." It was seeing former rival Taylor's Netflix doc “Miss Americana” which made Katy want to create her own flick that expanded on more than just one stage in her career, like her 2012 musical documentary “Katy Perry: Part of Me” which was about that tour only. - IOL

MEET SHA-DRECK SHAKES:

The Music Industry

By TERENCE MISELO KABWE-BASED budding singer Sha-Dreck has come on the local music scene with a promise of continuity. The gifted vocalist has so far proven he has what it takes to be in the limelight. The singer arrived on the scene earlier this year with a popular song dubbed “For better for worse” which features rapper Macky2. The song topped the charts on Kitwe’s YAR Fm,

Flava Fm and was number 10 on Lusaka’s Local Rhythms Countdown. It also appeared on Joy Fm on the Top 20 most happening songs and threw up an interesting performance on ZNBC’s ‘ Y. ZONE.’ Later Sha-dreck came through with another sensational single called “Nakambala” Featuring prolific rapper Jemax. The song was also received with love across the nation as it also topped the charts on different radio stations. The singer’s type of music has been likened to fellow Kabwe and award-winning artiste Yo Maps but has raised concerns as to why he still hasn’t yet collaborated with him. But when asked in an interview on Joy Fm with

DJ PMC, Sha-Dreck clearly opened up that his management got in touch with Yo Maps and he agreed but later went on mute. The Kabwe’s new kid on the block has achieved a lot in a short period despite the ongoing Worldwide Pandemic (Covid. 19). Kudos to his Management and his Raving Music Producer Trigo Beatz as they recently put out another love song featuring the Comic artistes Mujomba and with only a week before its release, it’s currently on number 3 on most downloaded songs on DJ Showstar’s Music Blog. The song is already proving popular after a successful performance on Y-ZONE.

Lead actress and director’s animated response to being a part of Disney’s ‘Mulan’ DISNEY is releasing “Mulan”, its first live-action remake since the lockdown. The live-action drama is directed by Niki Caro, who gave us the critically-acclaimed 2020 hit, Whale Rider, and stars Chinese-born American actress, Liu Yifei, as the eponymous heroine. In an interview with the both of them, prior to the current controversy, that is, they were pretty chuffed about the movie. This past week, “Mulan” has become a political hot potato after news got out that parts of the film were shot in Xinjiang. This region of China has been in the spotlight after the government was accused of human rights violations against the Uighurs and other predominantly Muslim minorities. - IOL

ANDRE OPENS UP TO ‘PRISONS’ By TERENCE MISELO

ENOWNED Entertainment and Events organiser Andrew Zulu famously known as DJ Andre from Andre Entertainments has established a centre for receiving gifts and donations for inmates in various Zambian Correctional Facilities. The centre which he is calling a ‘ donations drop in centre’ is located at Andre Entertainments office on Plot No. 24 , Sibweni Road in Lusaka’s Northmead area. Speaking in an interview after the Commissioner General for Correc-

s i c i s u ‘Gospel making m r o f t o n ’ y e n o m By NOEL IYOMBWA A GOSPEL artiste says singing gospel music should be calling not a money-making venture. Collins Siwale a Christian and a servant of God said that he has been ministering the word of God through music for some time now. “I love God, I love His work and I have been inspired by God in this ministry of gospel music,” he said. “I started my music career on 7th July 2017 when I recorded Nanaka at SSV studio. I am working on my first album and the name of the album is going to be Repent.” He said on the ‘ Repent’ project, he has done four songs and has featured PJN Joshua on a song titled ‘Mwaliwamisha’. He has also featured the NG Exalters on a song “Vomit”. He said he is remaining with one song to finish his album adding that finding money has been a challenge for him. Siwale stated that support from established artistes is also another challenge. “What some people should not forget is that those big gospel artistes also started small. God willing in the next few years to come, I see myself taking the gospel to many nations to the glory of God, I am so confident about this because God showed me in a dream,” He said.

tional Facilities, Dr Chisela Chileshe paid him a visit at his office, Zulu said the move is to enhance the idea of supporting inmates which he started three years ago. He said as Andre Entertainments, his firm has been engaged in reaching out to Correctional Facilities through a project called ‘ Second Chance’. In this project, Andre Entertainments and various partners organise visits to the Facilities and give various donations from well-wishers. He said this is all in an effort to supplement the government in taking care of the inmates. “ This for us is our social responsibility and we have worked very well with our various partners and the Zambia

Correctional Facilities. We receive donations every time we have a planned visit to the Facilities but we are now happy to announce that a ‘drop in centre’ has been established so that people can come in anytime and leave their donations,” said Zulu. “ We are very happy to have received the blessings from Dr. Chisela Chileshe the Commissioner General of the Zambia Correctional Services. He visited us to check on the response from the public. We are so grateful for his continued support,” said Zulu who also confirmed that a number of people have started sending their donations and a programme for visitation will soon be availed.

she is "always" working on her music and despite fans' pleas for her to share her latest material, she wants to wait until she's completely satisfied. She said: “I’m always working on new music. Just because I haven’t released an album in a few years doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on it. “I’m not just going to put music out because people are craving it. I’m going to make it worth the wait - and it will be worth the wait.” The 32-yearold singer has also found success as an actress and with her cosmetics range Fenty Beauty but she insisted that whatever she’s working on has to be something she truly believes in.

She told new! magazine: “For me, it’s about achieving excellence. That’s why I will never put an album out for the sake of it or do a movie for the sake of it or a fashion collaboration for the sake of it. I have to believe in it.” The “Ocean’s 8” star is keen to do more acting, too. She said: “I’m still relatively new to acting but already I’ve got to work with acting royalty like Sandra Bullock. If I get the right offer then I would love to do more, for sure.” And while Rihanna is a big fan of reality TV, she doesn’t think she’d ever have the time to get involved and be a judge on a show such as ‘The X Factor’ or ‘The Voice’.

Shyman lauds Namibia support

Andrew Zulu with Zambia Correctional Services Commissioner General, Dr Chisela Chileshe

By TERENCE MISELO

UNITED STATES-based Zambian artiste Shyman says he is happy with the support he has been receiving from Namibia. Speaking in an exclusive interview, the ‘ Wamona Nomba’ singer said of late, he has been getting lots of support from fans in Namibia over his music and that he appreciates the love. “So, Namibia has always been supportive to Zambian Music. And I became a household name there not only from Fendela Fenduze but also “Are you single”. Fendela Fenduze was big togegher with Zesco Donsa, Chosa Nsapato but “Are you Single” was bigger than all the songs,” he said adding that the song had him perform more than 10 times in Namibia. “How the music gets there only God knows,” he adds.

myself but people out there who recognize the works I have been doing through music like the Komana Africa Foundation plus the music ofcourse,” he said “This really means alot especially that it’s not just a Zambian award but African.” Asked on how he has managed to promote his music since he’s outside Zambia, Shyman admits that it has not been easy. “ Pushing Music while away hasn’t been the easiest. You know why. It isn’t easy even pushing from home now imagine being away,” he said.

“ So now I have been receiving messages from my fellow artistes like Rich Bizzy and Pentagon to say their fans in Namibia are asking for my song ‘WamonaNomba’, what even encouraged me are the video clips I have been receiving almost every day from Namibia about ‘Wamona Nomba’ dance challenge..and one went on to say it’s either the song is Namibian or I am.” Shyman is grateful for the love and promises to continue making good music. Meanwhile Shyman is pleased to be among the nominees for the forthcoming Mwape Peer Awards in United States. “Well, Its exciting to be nominated especially that it’s not me as an artiste who nominated

IN a bid to mitigate the impact of Covid 19 and supplementing government efforts in fighting the pandemic, a NonGovernmental Organization Young Africa Zambia providing training skills to vulnerable children is spearheading a Covid-19 emergency response in Bauleni. Organization Country Director Chitalu Kaite Njuka said that the organization took into account the impact of Covid-19 on students. She said that the project is aimed at supporting vulnerable families economically in various ways with the first being a feeding program which is providing 150 meals a day for students and members of the community. The activities are held at the Young Africa Skills training

“This week we are giving 150 food packs to our students and other members of the public, then another one is providing small grants for our students to start business that can support them during this period. “The project is running for three months after which, if we are able to source more funds, we will extend the project if not it will end,” she said. “The target number we are currently reaching is 550 direct people and 1500 indirect beneficiaries, “she said. On Friday the organization held a health talk on Covid-19 prevention in Bauleni compound. She further said that the organization focuses on empowering youths with employable life skills and entrepreneurship

skills. She said that the organization provided food security packs to 150 families which contained 25 kg mealie meal cooking oil, salt, sugar, soya

chunks, soap, washing soap and five masks at a total of K 50,000. “We do skills training for youths in catering, tailoring, ICT and we have introduced

new courses which will include Cosmetology and O level tuition and we are also accredited by TEVETA to offer vocation skills training.”

“Take for instance, the Song ‘Kumbwako’ which featured the Legend Nasty-D. I recorded that song in 2017 released it 2018 in the Born in Dambwa album and I shared it to almost every radio station but I guess most Djs are busy with what’s trending and didn’t take time to listen to the whole album which I believe has some good music slept on.So a few weeks ago I posted a video of me singing it and my followers loved it.Djs including those I already had given the song started asking for the same song. But that just tells you one thing...Good music never dies.”

HERE has been a lot of emphasis placed on promoting international tourism in Zambia, with little attention given to domestic tourism, which is often relegated to being a buffer for the tourism industry’s off-seasons, when there are fewer international guests.

This is unfortunate in the wake of the recent turmoil that has rocked the industry. When international travelers were forced to stay home due to COVID-19 lockdowns, tour operators were forced to look to the fact that domestic tourism can play a key role in shaping the future, beyond just revitalizing the sector after COVID-19. When inflow of international travelers decreased by up to 80 percent and bookings were cancelled due to global lockdown measures, Zambians were called upon to help the industry stay afloat. They responded to this distress call and took advantage of discounts and other promotional packages that some operators were offering. They also spread word of special offers and the need to visit various destinations to help people working in tourism keep their jobs. For a country like Zambia, which attracts considerably fewer international tourists than countries in the region such as South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe, the need to promote domestic tourism cannot be overemphasized. Having a stable base of local tourists would not only complement the tourism sector’s low share of international guests, it would also help cushion operators from severe impacts of losing international tourists due to unforeseen circumstances in the future. As mentioned earlier, when Zambians were called upon to visit the country’s tourist destinations in order to help the industry survive the impacts of COVID-19, many did. Imagine what can be possible if deliberate steps are taken to keep the momentum going? Promoting domestic tourism would also have conservation benefits. Zambia’s conservation sector is intricately linked with tourism. Public resources allocated to conservation over the years have been low. According to a report by International Growth Centre (IGC) in Zambia, between 2010 and 2018, only an average

THE FUTURE OF ZAMBIA’S TOURISM IS DOMESTIC

of 0.6% of Zambia’s national budget was allocated to environmental and wildlife conservation. As a result, conservation activities have heavily depended on funding from donor organizations and tourism firms. Boosting domestic tourism will increase operators’ profits which would translate to increased donations to the conservation sector. For the conservation sector, increased funding would ensure that Zambia’s

ecosystems and wildlife are protected. The Government also recognizes the strategic role that domestic tourism can play, as it has been identified as one of Zambia’s promising prospects for economic growth and sustainable conservation. Earlier this year, Tourism and Arts Minister Ronald Chitotela called on tourism operators to partner with Government to reduce the

cost of domestic tourism in Zambia after COVID-19. In a statement issued to the media by the Ministry Public Relations Officer Sakabilo Kalembwe in April, the Minister implored tourism operators to “see what they can give to the Zambian people so that domestic tourism can be boosted.” Zambia is endowed with many beautiful landscapes and some incredible heritage sites. The country currently

has 20 national parks that hold a great diversity of wildlife. This includes the worldrenowned Kafue, Liuwa and South Luangwa national parks, which are counted among the greatest wildlife sanctuaries in the world. Combine this with diverse cultures and the many museums dotted across the country and you end up with something that can truly be appreciated by the local people. It is worth noting that promoting domestic tourism cannot be achieved by the

Government and tourism operators alone. We all have a part to play. As citizens of this beautiful and resource-rich country, we need to extend the “support your local team” slogan to the country’s tourism industry because supporting Zambia’s tourism is supporting local businesses and local communities. And while it is true that some operators may need to reduce their prices to cater for the local nature enthusiasts working with a tight budget, there are many establishments that are actually affordable. All that remains is for us to identify them and take advantage of their packages. As global lockdown measures are slowly lifted and Zambia prepares to re-open its boarders for international tourists, players in the tourism sector should remember that while domestic tourists may not provide as much money as international tourists, the sustainability of the industry depends on Zambians buying into the idea that they can enjoy all that the country has to offer, without breaking the bank. In other words, international tourism is what has sustained Zambia’s tourism sector up to this point, but domestic tourism is what will take it to the next level.
