Napsa Stars have landed straight into Ndola from Cameroon ahead of their league date there against Forest Rangers this Thursday at Levy Mwanawasa Stadium.

The Lusaka sides’ charter plane landed in Ndola on Monday afternoon barely 24 hours after losing 5-1 away in Cameroon to Coton Sport in their CAF Confederation Cup Group D fixture.

But just like fellow CAF Confederation Cup envoys Nkana, Napsa are also battling relegation on the domestic front and currently sit two spots above Nkana at number 14 on 23 points, three more than the Kitwe side who are third from bottom in the last four relegation zone.

Hosts Forest are third on 35 points and victory against Napsa will still keep them there but move them within one point of second placed Zanaco and will be eight points behind leaders Zesco United with twelve games left for them to play.

Teachers in Kalumbila targeted as GBV envoys

A number of teachers in Kalumbila district of North-western province are to be engaged in the fight against Gender Based Violence (GBV).

ZANIS reports that IOM Assistant Programmes Officer, Cephas Njobvu in an interview in Kalumbila today said his organisation plans to engage teachers in the district in a bid to challenge the norms and cultural practices that perpetuate GBV.

“We have picked on the teachers because we realise that one form of GBV that has escalated in our community is child marriage. Mostly, children who are married off young are in school, so we want to challenge this from the school perspective,” Mr Njobvu said.

He also took note of cultural norms and practices which hinder children from freely expressing themselves to confide only on in their teachers on personal .

“Teachers are most likely to be approached by children who want to share personal experiences such as abuse because the abuse usually occurs in a family setting,” Mr Njobvu said.

He said it will be prudent for teachers to be armed with information on the various forms of GBV as well as referral mechanisms so as to adequately sensitise children as early as possible.

Mr Njobvu disclosed that the teacher engagement programme will commence tomorrow, April 13, 2021 and it is targeted at 120 teachers in the district.

The targeted teachers are from four zones namely Matebo, Mutanda, Kisasa and Manyama respectively, in groups of 30 people in each zone.

Zambia gets the first consignment of the Covid-19 vaccines

The first consignment of the Covid-19 vaccines allocated to Zambia have arrived in Zambia today.

To receive the vaccine at Keneth Kaunda International airport this afternoon, the Health Minister was accompanied by dignitaries from cooperating partners that include the United Nations Resident Coordinator, the World Health Organisation country representative, UNICEF Country Representative, the British High Commissioner, the United States Ambassador, the Europeran Union Country representative, the Japanese Ambassador, the Canadian Ambassador, the German Ambassador, the Indian ambassador, the Norwegian Ambassador, and the Saudi Arabia Ambassador among others.

Speaking after receiving the vaccine the Minister of Health reiterated that the benefits of the use of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine far outweigh the risks reported to be related to the vaccine’s use.

He said Government is aware of some safety concerns that have arisen regarding some of the Covid 19 Vaccines that are being rolled out which includes the Astrazeneca vaccine.

“Governments desire is to protect the Zambian people and has since put in place communication strategies to dispel myths and conspiracy theories concerning the effects of the Astrazeneca Covid 19 Vaccines.” Dr. Chanda said.

The Health Minister commended President Edgar Lungu for leading a spirited fight against Covid-19, by leading the Covid-19 response and the vaccination programme.

Dr. Chanda also commended the Cooperating partners for their support to the Zambian government towards the fight against Covid-19.
And speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the event World Health Organisation (WHO) Country Representative Dr. Nathan Bakyaita said when the vaccines were being made there were stringent measures that were taken to ensure that they are safe, efficacious and are of good quality.

“Of course people have come up with stories about the vaccines and we are aware of that, so we have come up with a communication strategy that will be able to adress the information about the vaccine and pass it on, but in addition to that we have set up a system for monitoring any side effects that may come up as a result of the vaccine, because as you know, any medicine, any vaccine will have side effects.” he said.

Media urged to be professional

The Party of National Unity and Progress (PNUP), has urged the media to report on evidence based issues, and not political personalities, as the country heads towards the August 12, general election.

PNUP President, Highvie Hamududu says discussing personalities at the expense of evidence based issues, results in contradictory statements in public domain, since the political landscape is constantly changing.

Mr. Hamududu advised the media to be professional and take its responsibility seriously as the fourth estate.

“When everything else fails, we should still be able to rely on the media as the fourth estate to interrogate political parties on their policies, proposed policies and matters of public interest,” he said.

Mr. Hamududu who was accompanied by his party Secretary General, Kasote Singogo and Deputy Secretary General, Stella Chintu, said this in Livingstone today, during a media breakfast.

The opposition leader said he was happy with the sobriety of Livingstone based journalists.

“When you find media personnel becoming cadres, then we are lost because the truth will not be heard,” he said.

Mr. Hamududu urged journalists to leave politics to politicians, and to focus on disseminating messages that influence positive thinking in people.

He further said PNUP was premised on evidence based economic policy; political governance policy and not insults and name-calling.

Government to broaden social protection programmes – President Lungu

President Edgar Lungu has assured Zambians that his administration will continue implementing and broadening social protection programmes in an effort to improve the welfare of vulnerable people across the country.

President Lungu noted that government will continue to scale up the implementation of programmes such as the social cash transfer, food security park, emergency cash transfer schemes and supporting women livelihoods.

Speaking at the closing of the Patriotic Front (PF) General conference in Lusaka yesterday, President Lungu indicated that government will ensure that the girl child and women are empowered with appropriate skills and empowerment opportunities.

The Head of State noted that he will appoint more women in positions of authority and influence in order to contribute to national development

He added that the implementation of youth empowerment projects will also continue for inclusive governance and development for all.

“As a pro poor party, we shall continue demonstrating our resolve in the fight against poverty and vulnerability among vulnerable people. The Patriotic Government will continue implementing these social protection programmes, and will pay particular attention to broadening coverage and scope of the programme so as to contribute to the wellbeing of all vulnerable Zambians,” President Lungu guaranteed the country.

He added that government will also ensure improved labour conditions for those in the informal sector, among which includes drivers, shop keepers, gardeners and maids.

The President pointed out that PF has demonstrated support towards vulnerable people through various initiatives, saying that the bigger picture is to save the Zambian people who voted the party into power.

President Lungu stated that the party will never depart from its pro-poor values, thus will engage citizens in the affairs of the country in order to find common solutions when faced with challenges.

He was confident that the party will retain power after the general elections in August this year so that government can soldier on with its development agenda to transform the lives of Zambians.

UPND Manifesto is forgery and a product of stolen photos and images from other people’s websites

UPND Manifesto is forgery and a product of stolen photos and images from other people’s websites

Government Deputy Chief whip Tutwa Ngulube says it is a shock that the most publicised UPND 2021-2026 MANIFESTO is in fact a forgery and a product of stolen photos and images from other people’s websites.

“We note with dismay that they did not just lift statements word for word but went further to even forget to edit the photo stolen from the Website in Jamaica. A close perusal of the manifesto on page 8 reveals that the banknote pasted in their manifesto is in fact a one thousand Jamaican dollar bill written Bank of Jamaica,” he said.

Hon Ngulube who is newly elected Patriotic Front (PF) Member of the Central Committee said that the shame and embarrassment of stealing ideas could not be hidden when they repeated word for word statements from a South African mining company website and though HH condemned the Zambian Government’s acquisition of 100 percent stake in Mopani Mine through ZCCM-IH after they were offered by Glencore the major shareholders.

Hon Ngulube said that a proper show of ignorance and in the spirit of usual uncoordinated contradictions between HH’s speeches and written documents, the manifesto contradicts his earlier statements when they stated on page 11 of the manifesto that the UPND will put in place a policy and plan to facilitate local ownership and increased participation of Zambian players in the industry.

“This is not what he said about Mopani, “Hon Ngulube said.

Hon Ngulube who is also Kabwe Central Constituency Member of Parliament said that this was a sign of lack of foresight and the failure to come up with their own ideas, adding that it is clear that the UPND lack original and authentic ideas to run their own future government.

Hon Ngulube has since demanded that the UPND within 48 hours withdraw the forged manifesto from circulation or face criminal proceedings for infringement of section 17 of the Copyright and Performance Act.

“We are taken aback to learn also that the UPND is saying they will start respecting court judgments only after they form a government. We note that their president has never respected our courts every time he has lost court cases. In 2016, after his Petition to challenge the presidential election was thrown out, he went on rampage disrespecting the Constitutional Court judges,” he said.

Hon Ngulube said that Mr Hichilema’s disrespectful conduct continued after the Constitutional Court held that President Lungu was eligible to stand in 2021.

He, therefore, demanded that the UPND must apologize to the people of Zambia for presenting a forged document with the hope of forming a government using fake information and stolen images, explanations and ideas.

“They did forge the manifesto and uttered it to the people of Zambia,” he said.

Banyana Coach Advises Shepolopolo

Banyana Banyana South Africa coach Desiree Ellis says Shepolopolo must improve to compete favourably at the delayed Tokyo Olympics in the summer.

Ellis’s Banyana Banyana on Saturday thumped the Zambian women 3-1 in an international friendly played in Johannesburg.

In a post-match interview, Ellis said the Shepolopolo bench should work on the players’ fitness.

“I think our defense won the game first. They made sure Barbra I think had one shot at goal but we nullified Rachael Nachula who was another threat and Grace Chanda as well,” she said.

Eliss added that over reliance on captain and striker Barbra Banda is negatively affecting Zambia’s performance.

“And I think maybe the reliance on Barbra too much, to play other players in I think that will help out the team,” Ellis said.

“I think conditioning is key. We always say if we are in good physical shape because we can play then we can match any team.”

Mucheleka must familiarize himself with the PF Constitution before making any remarks-Sunday Chanda

The ruling Patriotic Front (PF) Media Director Sunday Chanda has advised UPND Spokesperson Patrick Mucheleka to familiarize himself with the PF Constitution before making remarks regarding the just ended PF Party elective Conference.

Mr. Chanda said the PF has noted with much disappointment the attack on the party by the opposition UPND spokesperson in a statement he has issued that is disguised as a congratulatory message.

“His statement disguised as a congratulatory message is loaded with malice which clearly stems from the fact that our colleague from the opposition has not bothered to look at the PF constitution and understand the party’s guiding statutes when it comes to dissolution and putting in place it’s central committee.” Mr Chanda said

He adds that it is public knowledge that the PF has and will always be guided by its constitution.

“The just ended conference was transparent and successful and had both local and foreign participants. The constitution which allows the President to nominate members of the Central Committee was followed. The council carefully reviewed the names and approved.”

To clear the air on the issue of the Central Committee, Mr. Chanda advised Mr. Mucheleka and company would find the following clause helpful and informative.

“ARTICLE 57 of the Constitution of Patriotic Front party Election of Members of Central Committee! Sub-section (3) The PRESIDENT of the party shall submit HIS LIST of CANDIDATES TOGETHER with the names of other CANDIDATES for the office of the members of central committee to the NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION and APPROVAL.” the PF Media Director said.
