Grade 7 exams started successfully amid rumours of boycott

Share

Education and council authorities in Kalomo have refuted media report that teachers were to boycott invigilating grade seven examinations that commenced today.

A Television station reported Tuesday that teachers in the district would boycott the exercise due to non payment of their allowances by the electoral commission of Zambia (ECZ) for the October 30 presidential polls.

Acting district board secretary, Stephen Hamilemba told ZANIS in an interview that the examinations have started without any report of the reported boycott allegation by press time.

“The examinations started successfully without any problems. All is normal , I haven’t received any single report so far,” Mr Hamilemba said.

And Kalomo district council secretary, Alfred Mungalu who was in charge of the elections said only a few teachers were remaining to be cleared adding that his accounts staff were still in Dundumwezi constituency to clear off officers who were engaged by ECZ.

The officers mostly drawn from the teaching fraternity as polling assistants, ushers presiding officers and their assistants were entitled to three nights at a rate of K275,000. each.

And a verification of books of accounts by ZANIS at the council observed that two constituencies, Kalomo central and Mapatizya were already cleared with Mungalu saying the ECZ pumped in K1.4 billion for the October 30 elections.

The two authorities were reacting to the television station’s clip that assumed that teachers in the district would today boycott to invigilate the grade seven examinations due to non payment of their dues by ECZ through the local civic authority.

  1. How I wish that the undereducated Grade 4 school drop out Micheal Chilufya Sata has also registered to sit for this years Grade 7 examinations. Anyway, Sata still has next year 2009 to consider wrting such good examinations for his future life.

    As for those who are sitting for the exams, I wish you all all the very best and remember that your performance will give you a bright future. We need you to excel in education so that you can lead Zambia in future to be prosperous unlike Micheal C. Sata who almost caused the Zambian economy to go down in an almost unrecoverable mode.

  2. I just wonder where all these grade 12 graduates go too since these not enough collages, universities or employers to accommodate them in Zambia.
    Baya kwisa abayiche aba mwebo sure?????

  3. #11 They go to the streets to drink chibuku and some to prostitute and many more the kaponyas you hear about MMD at work.

  4. #5, no doubt!!!! and the rest thank you all for your opinions and take care. Otherwise, I maintain my position because we need future leaders and also there are a lot of mature entry pupils and students who are a REAL inspiration to our young ones.

    Be blessed you all and take care. All the very best in your future.

  5. #16, it is Minister Mulongoti who released this data. I will try to get you the link to the full story later – thus just stick to this topic.
    #17, I used to write “wina azalila, wina azaseka” before the 2008 Presidential elections and now it appears it is me who is “azaseka” in the adage.

    Take care you all.

  7. #21, Njobvu Kazi. Thank you for this important question. Fortunately or unfortunately I will not (currently not implying NEVER) join POLITICS simply because my calling is that of helping bring people to the good Lord Jesus Christ and His, and ultimately our, Father God the Father to the people around me as a Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) Christian. So, I am still trying to read and understand carefully the SDA (Revelation 12:17 in the Holy Bible) Church’s Spirit of Prophecy (Revelation 19:10) on what it directs to me in terms of joining POLITICS. I must confess that I have done a clean campaign for president HH by providing TRUTH and guidance according to the Holy Scriptures. Good motivation.

  8. #24, TITANIC, thanks very much and take care. We need old Zambian men and women to be role models to our children instead of those rap singers, RnB, etc from the USA. Hence, Mr Micheal Chilufya Sata is a potential role model if only he can see through what I am advising him.

  9. #4 Sata has nothing to do with this topic. Secondly, why do you say rubbish things about Sata? Even your tonga bull lost why can’t talk about him. Grow up man!!!!!!!!!!

  10. # 22 Maestro Hhehhehhehhe
    Okey…well noted yr msg however as an SDA I dont think it is right to say such such things about SATA or others.If at all its true he is a grade 4 drop out, you should appreciate that he has done his best in his political career and deserve some merit.

  11. #4 mahestro i used to respect you on most of your comments but on this one you are more insulting than analyzing.Remember Sata has a very intelligent wife a medical doctor if you don’t know. His children are also very educated.Even if you hate the man and you are entitled to that knowing full well that you are a typical Tonga have some kind of respect for a statesman. You are wallowing in freedom its because the uneducated man you are talking about participated in the struggle for freedom.You have definitely disappointed me on this one. Retract you statement and i will continue to respect you as before

  12. No.4 you are right my friend. We can not be led by a grade 4 drop out whose health is questionable. That would have been the greatest mistake Zambians would ever commit. We would have gone done like Mugabe, if not worse. Thank God good prevailed over evil!

  13. #Fellow country men and women, I have a meeting to attend but will come back to give background to my comments on #4. Some food for thought what level of education did Former President Kenneth Kaunda reach? How about VJ Mwaanga? Find out about all the freedom fighters and see who has done what and whether they sought to improve their education in this their lifetime?

    I hope you understand and appreciate that I have to go now. More later and please do not lose heart – just let me have enough timw to qualify and clarify my points to you all. Be blessed and enjoy your day.

  14. #32, Maestro Hhehhehhehhe, can you behacve yourself. Can’t you see that I am in the EU and you are in Zambia. Why do you characters fail to maintain your own identities? Lyoonse ndinwe (all the time it is you) – especially PF cadres. More later.

  15. Maestro you are free to have your own opinion, the same goes for everyone else. I ve seen my name and i cant see why having supported PF is an issue. After all even your simbwitamamina candidate Hh didnt win, and we kept telling u that he is an under 5

  16. Good Luck to my children, niece, my childrens friends – Walusungu, Lenganji, Temwa, Wezi, Stephano, Jane, Monde – Codrington and Thornpark Basic School.

  17. #40 the children are sitting for Grade 7 exams.Golyati i think you should also sit for the Grade 7 exams especially Special Paper 1. You seem not have logic.

  18. #4 well said and for your own information i saw sata with a leakage paper for social studies.
    He said he had not enough time to study because of the tours he had in a Heli round Zed.He does not want to disappoint his grand children by failing for the 50th time.

  19. I am back and looking for Minister Mulongoti’s release about Sata’s Grade 4 data. just give me some time I will find it.
    #36, behave yourself and stop being my imposter. Also, I will not respond to your nonsense again.

  20. People, I lamentably failed to find the news where Minister Mulongoti informed the whole Zambian Nation and world that “according to current GRZ records” Mr Sata had only gone up to standard 4 or 6 I think which is similar to Grade 4. I am still continuing the search for that piece of NEWS for I am sure that it was in either the Times of Zambia or Zambia Daily Mail Newspapers online.

    I will post that news immediately I find it. Thank you all for your understanding.

  21. As for Pumpy and Silvia masebo, I am glad you are still alive and kicking. I was very worried about you. More later.

  22. I think number 8 is an absolutely killer idea. Most people seem afraid of giving away the best content. But i??m pretty sure that the people who do ?? get the most back in return

  23. Thanks very much for this great post! Was very very helpful. I get writers block from time to time and this will keep me writing for a YEAR! Great stuff and some types of blog posts I??ve never even thought of writing.Thank you very much.
