Chief of Mission for the Zambian team participating at the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, Boniface Kambikambi has described the performance of the Zambian athletics as disappointing.
Kambikambi said the athletes have not performed to the expectations of the National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ).
This is according to a statement issued to ZANIS Sports in Lusaka today by First Secretary for Press at the Zambian Embassy in Brazil Patson Chilemba.
Kambikambi pointed out that despite being physically prepared, the athletes lacked the psychological aspect to pull through to the next level of the games.
He however said more needs to be done in future tournaments by ensuring that the athletes are psychologically prepared by exposing them to many international competitions.
The Zambian athletes that have so far bowed out of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games are Judoka Mathews Punza, Middleweight Boxer Ben Muziyo and Female swimmer Jade Howard
Others are 400 meters African female champion Kabange Mupopo, male swimmer Ralph Goviea and 100 meters male runner Gerald Phiri.
Mr. Kambikambi is hopeful that the only remaining Zambian participant at the Olympics Jordan Chipangano will do well in his marathon race.
EU EOM in Zambia undertaking elections observation this morning
The European Union congratulates President-elect Edgar Chagwa Lungu and looks forward to deepening its partnership with the Republic of Zambia.
The people of Zambia participated in large numbers in the general elections on 11 August 2016.
The EU Election Observation Mission’s preliminary assessment found that voting was peaceful and generally well administered. Yet, the EU Election Observation Mission found the elections marred by systematic bias in the state media and restrictions on the campaign.
The EU expects all the political parties and electoral stakeholders to act in order to preserve peace, stability and tolerance in the country. Existing legal channels should be used to address possible complaints.
The EU Election Observation Mission will remain in the country until completion of the electoral process and will issue a final report with recommendations within two months.
Since this author was a child in the mid-1950s growing up in the Zambian/ African village, traditional African medicine has always fascinated him. This fascination is not because of mere academic curiosity but because he witnessed the traditional medicine treat and cure some of the most serious chronic diseases and illnesses in himself and among close family members. Since the early 1990s he has also read a great deal about the immune system and how historically viral, bacterial, parasites, HIV/AIDS and other epidemics have been transmitted among human civilizations and populations stretching over thousands of years. His interest in the changing nature of Zambian or African traditional medicine inspired him so much that he actually conducted formal research into the topic in 2002. The research was among the Tumbuka people of Lundazi District in the Eastern Province of Zambia. Some of the findings from the study are in this publication. http://www.hungerforculture.com/?page_id=354 Some of the findings are in this book https://www.amazon.com/Satisfying-Zambian-Hunger-Culture-Social/dp/1479702099
He has just began to compile and analyze more findings from his research notes from 2002. This is one of the series of reports that will soon be published exclusively on the “Hunger for Culture” web page.
Wonders of the Sokolowe Tree
In the Zambian traditional society, a mother might be 2 to 3 months pregnant and has a child who has been weaned. The child cries and whines a lot. The child acts really spoiled and is very clingy to the mother. The mother will consult an elderly person or a traditional healer or ng’anga about the problem. The ng’anga or the village elder might prescribe the roots of theSokolowe tree. The tree bears fruits that people eat. You dig the Sokolowe tree and get the roots. Soak the roots in water.
Use the herbs to cook the nshima Zambian traditional staple meal. The mother will serve the nshima to the child while the child is sitting with siblings and the child’s friends on the chitenje cloth the mother uses for carrying the baby on the back. This cloth is called nguwo. Semen among the Tumbuka, Chewa and Ngoni is also called nguwo. They will all eat the nshima together. After that the child will no longer cry, whine unnecessarily and be bothersome. The child will enjoy playing with siblings and friends all day.
This is one among dozens of traditional ways in which herbs and rituals were used for the betterment of the individuals in the community. A full detailed report is exclusively available here. http://www.hungerforculture.com/?p=1678
FILE: UPND president Hakainde Hichilema confers with the then Alliance for Better Zambia leader Father Frank Bwalya
The opposition UPND has been challenged to stop protesting the outcome of the just ended general election if indeed it has faith in the capacity of the Constitutional Court to handle electoral disputes.
PF Deputy Spokesperson Frank Bwalya says violent protests by UPND supporters in Southern province are not necessary especially that the party has indicated that it will petition the President Edgar Lungu’s election.
He says protests and attacks on non UPND members over the outcome of last week’s elections are unfortunate.
Mr. Bwalya says this is especially that he is Tonga by tribe and that some of his Tonga family members have become victims of the violence by UPND supporters.
He states the UPND leadership has an obligation to show leadership and calm their members as the Constitutional Court hears its petition.
And the ruling Patriotic Front in Monze District has appealed to the traditional leadership to help in strengthening unity in the country.
PF Monze District Chairman Gilbert Mwila says Zambians cannot afford to live in a divided country, thus the need for the traditional leadership to come on board and provide guidance.
And Mr. Mwila says it is unfair for some UPND supporters to attack PF supporters in the district in the manner they did following the re-election of President Edgar Lungu.
He says politics should not divide the people, but rather strengthen the unity that exists among Zambians.
Mr. Mwila says nothing should come in between that which unites the Zambian people.
Meanwhile, Civil rights activist Brebner Changala has observed that the voting pattern in last Thursday’s general election has exposed the tribalism factor in the Zambian society.
In an interview with QTV news, Mr. Changala says he finds the voting pattern witnessed in the elections as an ugly outlook that needs to be reversed with issue based kind of campaigns.
Mr. Changala says if this is not done, the tribalism will pose a dangerous to the unity of the Zambian people.
He says despite the fact he is consoled that the opposition UPND managed to get votes in the PF strongholds, President Edgar Lungu and the ruling PF should not celebrate their victory.
Mr. Changala says President Lungu should instead sit down and see how the country can be united.
Charles MilupiOpposition Alliance for Democracy and Development (ADD) President Charles Milupi says the 2016 elections cannot be described as fair, credible and transparent due to the many flaws and the alleged collusion between the Electoral Commission of Zambia and the Patriotic Front.
Mr. Milupi has cited the issue of the G-12 form which was not available in most polling stations in Lusaka, which he says led to open manipulation of results.
He says it is also sad that the ECZ has ignored what was agreed with stakeholders that the Lusaka results should not be announced without resolving the issue of the -12 forms which is a legal document in an election.
Mr. Milupi adds that the elections were characterized by, amongst others; lack of transparency, reported incidents of intimidation and harassment among other things.
UPND Deputy Spokesperson Edwin LifwekeloTHE United Party for National Development (UPND) says it will not protect any of its members engaging in political violence.
UPND deputy spokesperson Edwin Lifwekelo has urged party supporters to refrain from using violence to express their grievances following the party’s defeat in the August 11 general elections.
Several UPND cadres in different parts of the country ran amok damaging property in protest against the re-election of President Lungu.
Mr Lifwekelo said in an interview yesterday that the opposition political party does not condone violence and those perpetrating the vice are doing so at their own peril.
“It is not right to take the law into your own hands and as a party we are against those engaging in violence to show displeasure of losing an election,” he said. “There can only be one winner after an election and that is President Lungu.”
NchitoTHE Constitutional Court has stayed President Edgar Lungu’s decision to remove Mutembo Nchito from the position of Director of Public Prosecutions.
Last week, President Lungu wrote to Mutembo, informing him that he had been relieved of his duties, in accordance with Article 144 of the amended Constitution, following a recommendation from the justice Annel Silungwe led tribunal.
But Mutembo asked the Constitutional Court to nullify President Lungu’s decision on grounds that Article 144 of the Constitution does not give powers to a tribunal to recommend the removal of a DPP, but instead gives such powers to the Judicial Complaints Authority, which never sat to hear his case.
Constitutional Court judge Enock Mulembe granted Mutembo the order to stay the President’s decision and set August 19, for inter parties hearing.
President Lungu during the Thanks Giving rally at Woodlands Stadium in Lusaka on Tuesday, August 16,2016-Picture by THOMAS NSAMA
President Edgar Lungu has said that the 252 votes he got from Dundumwezi constituency helped him get to the 50% +1 mark. Dundumwezi constituency in Kalomo District, with a voter turn out of 79% gave President Lungu 252 votes and his main rival, Hakainde Hichilema, 30 810 votes.
Speaking when he thanked PF supporters for ensuring victory in the just ended polls at Woodlands stadium yesterday afternoon, Mr Lungu said the country was one and that he wouldn’t have reached the required 50%+1 without the votes from Dundumwezi and said that his party, Patriotic Front (PF) has a responsibility to show unity even in areas which rejected them and ensure that the country remains united.
“We have a duty to unite this country and I will do it myself! We have a responsibility to show the people on the areas where we didn’t win that we are One Zambia, One Nation. If I didn’t get those 252 votes in Dundumwezi, I wouldn’t have gotten 50% + 1
“I have to go to Southern province, Western province and North-western province because of the job you have given me of One Zambia, One Nation”
The President said there is no need for bitterness and neither is their need for gloating because what is important now is to unite the country in order to create an environment fertile for development across the nation, even in areas that did not vote PF.
If I didn’t get those 252 votes in Dundumwezi, I wouldn’t have gotten 50% + 1
“When there’s extreme bitterness and extreme happiness you create a poison. I want us to continue living under the doctrine of One Zambia One nation regardless of how we voted in the last election. I want to reach out to the people in Western Province, North Western and Southern Province, find out why they did not vote for us so that we can do better in next polls,” President Lungu said.
There were chants of “peace” and “Lungu throughout the hour long address where the President also asked Zambians to remain calm and wait for the inauguration which he said maybe delayed due to a court action taken out by the opposition.
The court action means President Lungu may not be sworn in until after two weeks from the time the action is taken.
The opposition according to Lungu are seeking court action to challenge the poll result that has already been hailed as free and fair by major international observer missions and the church in Zambia.
“I have to go to Southern province, Western province and North-western province because of the job you have given me of One Zambia, One Nation”
President Lungu said, “This meeting was to thank you and let you know we will deliver what we promised. The Zambian people expect a lot. There will be no time for honeymoon. We have a duty to show that we can deliver what we promised. We must not punish those that didn’t vote for us. No single vote is bigger than the other.”
He gave an example of the late President Michael Sata whom after losing the 2008 widely disputed poll asked Zambians to lay down arms instead of supporting the anarchy.
“Mr Sata, when we lost in 2008, said: Stop it!! You, Edgar, you are a lawyer, if this country goes on fire, you an easily go to Tanzania and practice your law, but where will the ordinary people go? Mr. Sata said: if you are not a forgiving leader, how are you going to lead the people!” He said.
President Lungu said the losing candidates have a choice to either go to court, concede defeat and start working towards 2021 polls.
“I am in charge do not let anyone deceive you. Peace and unity and reconciliation is very important. I thank you very much for having shown confidence in me and the PF, ” President Lungu said.
Mr Lungu also said there is need to ensure women and youths are incorporated in the governance of the country.
“We need to have enough women and youths in our governance to reflect the very people who we are.Allow me retreat to form a proper Cabinet.I am asking for your patience, peace and understanding as we await the outcome of the court.”

Former First Lady Dr Maureen Mwanawasa
Former First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa’s quest to become the Mayor of the city of Lusaka has ended in defeat at the hands of Patriotic Front(PF) candiate Wilson Kalumba.
PF’s Wilson Kalumba has been declared Mayor of Lusaka after he polled 270 161 votes in the August 11, general election.
The former first lady standing on the United Party for National Development (UPND) came second with 150 807 votes.
Lusaka Returning officer Alex Mwansa declared Mr Kalumba as Lusaka Mayor at around 09;00 hours.
And Mr Kalumba has pledged to ensure smooth operations at the local authority. He said he will not relent in developing Lusaka and the local authority.
Going into this election, the former first lady was confident of victory for both her candidancy and her party UPND when he spoke to tyhe Post newspaper last week.
“You don’t need a magician or a prophet to tell you that PF has lost this election; all odds are against PF and come Thursday, PF will be history,” Maureen said.
“And the other thing PF should know is that no Zambian will stand in a polling booth on an empty stomach and cast a vote for them, unless something is wrong. People don’t have food in their homes; life has become extremely expensive and you expect them to come and vote for you on an empty stomach after you created that hunger for them? It doesn’t work like that.”
The former First Lady urged voters to give her chance to transform Lusaka city by voting for her in the mayoral elections.
“Everywhere you look around in Lusaka, there is garbage and this should change starting this week when we form government. There is no way our beautiful city can be floating on garbage,” Maureen said.
“The levels of indiscriminate disposal of garbage in Lusaka city are alarming. When you are on the streets of Lusaka, you look west you see garbage, you look east you see garbage, you look north, it’s garbage, you look south it’s garbage. This is unacceptable. Would you like it if your house was filled with garbage and there is bad odour all around? The answer is no. We need to maintain our hygiene and stay healthy and fit. It is our duty to keep our city clean not only for us, but also for the people visiting our city and also for the future generations.”
She promised to come up with an efficient garbage collection system that would make the city clean.
“When you vote us into office for mayor, we shall ensure that uncollected garbage and indiscriminate disposal of waste becomes a thing of the past. We will ensure that Lusaka has an efficient garbage collection system and we shall bring to book anyone found throwing garbage indiscriminately. We shall also carry out a sensitisation programme on the dangers of indiscriminate disposal of garbage. We want to see a Lusaka where households will throw garbage in dustbins and not on the road,” said Maureen.
“Lusaka city is dirty and it is dirty everywhere. I know many of us are yearning to live in a clean city, free of uncollected garbage and indiscriminate disposal of waste. So let us work together and to achieve this, on August 11, vote us into the office for mayor, we promise you to clean the city of Lusaka.”

The road traffic accident Scene along the Kapiri Ndola road.The Zambia Road Safety Trust (ZRST) would like to congratulate His Excellency, the President Elect of Zambia, Mr. Edgar Chagwa Lungu, for his re-election on 11th August 2016.
Recent figures estimate conservatively that some 2100 persons in Zambia are killed each year in road crashes and a further ten thousand people are injured (Zambia Police, 2015). These numbers are likely to almost double by 2020 unless urgent action is taken. A prevalence of under-reporting of serious crashes means that the actual number of deaths is likely to be much higher than that reported by the Police.
And according to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), between 2010 -2012, injuries and road traffic accidents were the 3rd ranked cause of deaths, accounting for almost 10% of all fatalities in Zambia. At present trends, with no effective mitigation, we project that within the next four years, road traffic injuries will rank as the 2nd leading cause of death in Zambia after HIV/AIDS, killing more than double the current number.
While, over half of the Zambia’s road deaths are vulnerable road users (pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists), the majority of those killed are men between the ages of 15 and 44, mostly breadwinners, adds the CSO 2014 annual report.
Road Accidents are often covered in the media simply as events—not as one of a leading killer of people and an enormous drain on a country’s human, health and financial resources. In addition to the tremendous traumatic and emotional impact of road crashes, there is a vast economic consequence. Nationally, road crashes typically cost the equivalent of 1-3% of our country’s Gross Domestic Product. Personally, road crashes can be the trigger that plunges a family into poverty. Every case involves someone’s life, their family and friends, and personal suffering.
The Zambia Road Safety Trust would like to appeal to the President Elect that having been given a new mandate by the Zambian people, he appreciates that road death and injury is not inevitable. Road trauma is a preventable public health challenge which can be halted with amenable actions.
As currently six to seven people are killed every day, and more than 20 seriously injured from road accidents on Zambia’s roads, President Lungu needs to act immediately as he takes office. The numbers speak for themselves: this is a public health and development crisis that is expected to worsen unless action is taken.
Political will is needed by the President Elect to ensure appropriate road safety legislation and stringent enforcement of laws by which we all need to abide. We call for capable leaders, institutions and strategies that can ensure reduced likelihood of accidents occurring and minimise the severity if a crash occur. If this cannot be ensured, families and communities will continue to grieve and our health systems will continue to bear the brunt of injury and disability due to these road accidents.
In line with the World Health Organisation, the Zambia Road Safety Trust endorses a comprehensive approach to road safety, called the Safe System approach, which recognises that, as the human body is vulnerable to injury and humans will always make mistakes, the safety of all parts of the system (e.g. road users, vehicles and roads) must be improved to help minimize the impact of those mistakes.
Midfielder Kelvin Mubanga is happy with the reception he has been accorded at Power Dynamos after his failed attempt to rejoin Nkana in the July mid-season transfer window.
Mubanga last month trained at Nkana for several days without permission before the proposed move to Wusakile failed.
The winger said he has moved on.
“Everything is going on well. The fans, executive and my team mates have received me back well,” Mubanga said.
“I am starting to enjoy my football here. I am pushing very hard to be where I was before I made a short visit to Nkana,” he said.
Mubanga left Nkana in January, 2015 to join Power after spending three years with the three-time champions.
