China Jiangxi Corporation has donated K1 million to the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) towards humanitarian support.
This came to light during the symbolic handover of the cheque to the Republican Vice President Mrs Inonge Wina, at her Office today.
The donation is meant to cushion the food insecurity resulting from low yields due to the prolonged dry spell experienced in some parts if the country.
In receiving the donation,Mrs Wina said the gesture of generosity and selflessness portrayed by China Jiangxi bears testimony of the excellent relations and cooperation between the two countries.
She assured the company that the donated funds will be prudently used for the benefit of the needy in the communities.
Mrs Wina further directed the DMMU National Coordinator Mr Chanda Chanda Kabwe to comply and submit a report on the usage of the funds in order to demonstrate transparency and accountability to the people of Zambia, in whose name the donation has come.
And China Jiangxi Cooperation President, Mr Xu Guojian said the company was deeply concerned with the plight of the local people hence expressed their corporate social responsibility by making the donation.
He disclosed that the donation will reach a target of approximately 7,000 people for three months. He further urged other Chinese companies to emulate them and supplement government effort in mitigating the situation.
DMMU conducted a Vulnerability and Needs Assessment which revealed that a total of 390,000 households will require relief assistance during the lean period between October 2019 and March 2020. DMMU has since distrUnited 45,400 metric tonnes of relief to affected districts.

Why you Zambians like to take NOTICES in meetings? It is very very bad thing to do. Most of those meetings are confidential, don’t write down all what the vice-president says.
Just listen.
Welldone! I thought HAZALUZA HAGAIN has brought back the loot from Cayman Islands! CHILDISH.
What a country…..and the K1 million kwacha donation will end up in someone’s pocket….meanwhile the Chinese company will be given multimillion dollar contracts
Donation, Donations Donations.
I know what I feel about donations.
I hate donations.
They make you lazy.
Huh! Donation iwe.

As per PF way of life, another carder by the name of Workwell Siamaili, has swindled a Chinese Businessman with false promise of helping the said Chinese businessman’s company to get a contract for the construction and upgrading of Chibolya, Misisi, Kanyama and Bauleni from his corrupt superiors.
According to the agreement, Siamaili promised that within a period of three weeks, the Chinese will sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government. In the event that he failed to deliverer within the stipulated time, he was going to refund the money.
12 months down the line, Siamaili has neither deliver according to the agreement nor paid back the money. Efforts by the Chinese businessman to get back his money have proved futile as Siamaili threatens him with deportation…
Donations are coming in towards the hunger situation and yet this woman Wina was initially in denial and was adamant that there was enough food in the country. Such incompetent liars in this government. What do you have to lose by accepting the truth? When it comes to saving human life, there is no need for this kind of pride and selfishness.
#Enlightened ..lol . It’s crazy to have a stupid ego when you are a grown up and a leader .. I end here
But you won’t accept donations from HH? Pathetic
Because it is stolen money by the INSIDE TRADING THIEF.
Wher has the Chinese money come from Ka Sharon?
How ironic? So receiving donations from the Chinese is okay but not from a fellow Zambian? What hunger mitigation when the veep is busy denying the situation? Very sad.
But mu Zambia chabe, firstly, there is no hunger situation, we cannot declare this a national crisis.
Private citizen tries to donate some food, you spend 65,000 to prevent him.
Then you get a bunch of people to receive a mere 1 million USD?
Why didn’t you refuse?
Oh hail the Chinese as they continue effing you zambians from the backside for all your resources whilst inducing u with mere change .
What a shameful country we are. We can accept help from foreigners but not from our own. Yet people are starving. How ruthless and uncaring can we be?
It’s a shame
Christian nation – Police in riot gear have been deployed to Kafue to block UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema from touring Soloboni Township in the district.
Mr Hichilema was on Monday advised not to go ahead with his planned visit to assess the extent of the current hunger situation in the area.
The opposition Leader who was recently blocked in Chawama from donating a Genset to Chawama Level one Hospital wanted to tour Kafue one of the 58 districts that has been hit by the current hunger crisis.
The black race has the lowest IQ in the world. Just analyse what is happening around us before u argue and painful as this fact may be, if u analyse objectively, u will agree with me that I am right.
Don’t believe what the muzungu has told you! Be careful what you believe! The Muzungu made the black man to hate self and believe that black is inferior to white! You become what you believe! Thus the black race remains conquered because of this wrong belief! Understand O black man and woman that you are created in God’s image! Only learn to use your brain, believe in yourself and your own, use your hands and legs! Donations make you blind and Lazy! Don’t live off donations! Wealth is in the Soil!
I am the exception to that teacher. However I see where you are coming from. That is why I am glad I fell in love with a white woman who I am married to and have mixed race kids. At least even in a racists mind they can be half right if not half white
