The Lusaka Fast track court on traffic offences has convicted and sentenced a Zambia Air Force officer for driving under the influence of alcohol.
Road Transport and Safety Agency (RTSA ) acting senior manager Fredrick Mubanga confirmed the development in a statement to ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday.
Mr Mubanga said Mate was charged by the Road Transport and Safety Agency after he caused a road traffic accident near State House recently.
Earlier Mr. Mate’s Lawyer Valentine Kabongo raised preliminary issues that the RTSA has no authority to conduct an arrest.
Pursuant to the Judgement of the Subordinate Court delivered by the Honourable Magistrate Madam Fydes Hamaundu, the court ruled that section 157 (2) of the Road Traffic Act gives powers to RTSA Road Traffic Inspectors to effect an arrest without warrant.
She stated that under the Road Traffic Act, the powers given to the police and the RTSA are the same.
Mr. Mate has been convicted and fined K2,500 for driving under the influence of Alcohol, K2,000 for Dangerous Driving, K900 for driving a motor vehicle without a valid road tax and K300 for driving a motor vehicle without a valid certificate of fitness.
In default Mr. Mate will serve a jail sentence of six months simple imprisonment concurrently.
A man counting his coins at a beer den in Mazabuka
Traders in Kitwe have continued rejecting small coins from buyers saying they are an inconvenience.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe yesterday, Charity Mulenga said the traders were rejecting the small coins because manufactures and wholesalers were also rejecting them.
Ms Mulenga said the traders were rejecting the 5 ngwee and 10 ngwee coins because they take a lot of time to count and that they easily get lost.
And another Trader Loveness Nkhoma called for the scrapping of the 5ngwe and the 10 ngwee coins from circulation because they cannot buy anything on the market
.
Ms Nkhoma also confirmed that the traders are rejecting the two coins because they feel they can be attacked to move around with so many coins as thieves would think they are carrying a lot of money.
Meanwhile , an economist has called on government to put up measures that will compel traders and wholesalers to accept the coins since they are a legal tender.
Cosmas Phiri, a lecture at the Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation in Kitwe however, noted that the use of coins was cumbersome to traders as the weight of the coins becomes a burden to them.
Recently a debate has been raging on the use of coins among members of the public especially traders in rural areas.

Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkandu Luo
Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Minister Prof. Nkandu Luo says government will soon audit the allocation of land in Mumbwa District which is marred by a lot of irregularities.
Prof. Luo said the Ministry of Lands will soon go to Mumbwa to audit the allocation of land in the district.
The Minister said the District Council and Chiefs have no authority to give out over 30,000 hectares of land to anyone without the consent of the President.
Prof. Luo said she has information that councillors and Chiefs have been giving huge chunks of land to themselves and later re-sale it to the so called investors.
She has since warned that if anyone will be found wanting they will face the wrath of law because their actions amount to theft.
TOURISM and Arts Minister Jean Kapata (gesturing) in a conversation with Muchinga Province Minister Gerry Chanda (centre) and Bank of Zambia Deputy Governor for administration Tukiya Kankasa-Mabula in Linda Township in Lusaka
Tourism and Arts Minister Jean Kapata has lifted the ban on Safari hunting which was imposed by her predecessor Sylvia Masebo last year.
Ms Kapata has told a media briefing in Lusaka today that government has revisited the position on hunting in order to avoid erosion of the sense of ownership of animals in local communities and reduction of vigilance which could result in a worsened poaching situation.
Ms. Kapata adds that the suspension of wild Cat hunting will still remain in force until a survey to ascertain their numbers plus other considerations and measures to ensure their sustainability are put in place.
The Minister adds that a position will be made very soon on the way forward with regards the Hunting blocks Concession Tender by the Zambia Wild Life Authority (ZAWA) which was also suspended due to inability to select outfitters in Game Management areas arising from a flawed process in the Tender.
Ms. Kapata further states that her ministry has put in place measures to ensure that sanity prevails in Wildlife Safari Hunting Management which include hunting being conducted at least two kilometers beyond the boundary of a National Park.
Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Wynter Kabimba has said that the ruling party has proved that it is still a popular party.
Mr. Kabimba said that the PF victory in the just ended Mangango parliamentary by-election and other ward elections is an endorsement by the people for the party to continue deliver development.
He said that people have seen what the Patriotic Front has done so far in developing the country, hence the vote of confidence.
Mr. Kabimba added that the outcome of the Mangango by-election should send a clear message to the opposition that the ruling party is still popular and that opposition should stop cheating themselves that they are popular.
Mr. Kabimba further stated that the victory should also send a warning to the opposition that it will not be easy for them to remove the Patriotic Front from power because the party is still strong and the Zambian people still have confidence in the party.
And he Patriotic Front Party (PF) in Mongu is excited that the party scooped the Mangango parliamentary by- election yesterday.
Patriotic Front Publicity Secretary, Captain (retired) Lawrence Nyambe said this to ZANIS in Mongu in an interview today.
He said the sweet victory is a mark of approval and acceptance of President Satas’ government and leadership .
Capt Nyambe added that the party was reaping from its performance of delivering development to the people of Western Province and Zambia at large.
Capt Nyambe also said that the PF Mangango by election victory was a vote of confidence which the party accepts with gratitude and promised to work even harder to deliver more development.

Dr Mumba takes time to rest and chat with local people
Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) president Nevers Mumba has conceded defeat in the Mangango Parliamentary by-election and congratulated the ruling Patriotic Front for scooping the seat.
Speaking at press briefing Dr.Mumba said he has instructed party National Secretary Muhabi Lungu to immediately commence the restructuring of the party following the party’s dismal performance in the just ended August 19th by-elections.
Dr. Mumba said the party has been forced to make drastic measures due to a number of factors among them the poor performance of the party in the by-elections.
Dr.Mumba bemoaned the electoral violence in Mangango.He said although MMD have conceded defeat in the Mangango by-election, it should be put on record that the result does not reflect the true picture on the ground.He said reports of armed gangs ferried into Mangango were the order of the day and the nation witnessed the onset of mayhem and inter-party violence.
[pullquote]if you want the party to win by-elections let’s go to Mangango, let’s to Kasenegwa, let’s to Vubwi and campaign together then we will start wining[/pullquote]
Dr.Mumba said it was discovered that the MMD party structures in Mangango had been deeply compromised, as has happened in all Constituencies where MMD MPs have been made Deputy Ministers such as Katuba, Feira and Mufumbwe.He said this called for a number of changes to be made.
He called on all well meaning members to welcome the reorganization as resisting will not do the party any good as the changes are necessary if the party is to bounce back to power.
Meanwhile the opposition leader has warned members with ill intentions of trying to use the Mangango loss to advance their personal interest by making negative public statements that they will not be tolerated.
He said any genuine member of the party will not work against party as some members have done in the recent past.
He noted that elections can not be won by an individual but by working together as a party hence people should not be waiting in their homes watching tv and waiting for results to use them to criticize him.
He added that if the party is to succeed people should start pulling in the same direction saying,” if you want the party to win by-elections let’s go to Mangango, let’s to Kasenegwa, let’s to Vubwi and campaign together then we will start wining.”
Below is the full statement
PRESS CONFERENCE ON 21ST AUGUST 2014 BY DR NEVERS SEKWILA MUMBA
OPENING REMARKS
Members of the Media Fraternity
Members of the National Executive Committee
Members of the MMD
Our Party supporters
Ladies and Gentlemen
I thank you all for attending this press briefing called to discuss the results of the Mangango Parliamentary by-election, the Local Government by-elections held in 25 Wards, of which we contested 21, and other matters arising.
Let me begin my conceding defeat in all the seats we lost and congratulating the Patriotic Front for winning the Mangango Constituency by-election. I also congratulate them for emerging victorious in the Ward By elections. On our part, allow me to congratulate our candidate Mr. Shadreck Chitafu for winning the Ward by-election in Masaiti District. Honourable Michael Katambo, the Member of Parliament for the area was an instrumental part of this win. Our hearts go out to him with thanksgiving. I also want to thank our Campaign Manager, Honourable Mundia Ndalamei and his team for the hard work they put into the campaign in Mangango and various Wards. I also thank all our gallant men and women that contributed positively to our campaign.
BY-ELECTION POSTMORTEM
The performance of the MMD in the 19th August 2014 Mangango Parliamentary By elections and the 21 wards we participated in have clearly been a huge disappointment to me and all well-meaning members of the MMD who care deeply about the party. Although we refuse to lose hope and do not want to be down-cast with paralysis as a result of this disappointment, we have to accept that drastic measures have to be taken in order for our circumstances to change. All of us in the party have to take personal responsibility of this unfortunate performance.
Our party has been in existence for 23 years with a significant portion of this having been in government. This longevity in government has created its own drawbacks as we have not been swift enough in our transition from being a ruling party to being in opposition. We have spent the last two and half years in very unproductive internal struggles that have without doubt impacted negatively on our performance. Although there are many committed people both in the National Executive Committee (NEC) and among our Members of Parliament, there is a general feeling in the party that those who are committed to our cause among MPs and NEC members are insufficient for us to make a meaningful impact.
As a party, we need to begin afresh and start from scratch in re-organizing our structures so that we may be better aligned for the coming battles. This realignment does not seek to blame or punish anyone or any group. The realignment merely wishes to recognize that the party has now been forced to remake itself in the face of our poor performance in the last electoral contest. We cannot afford to take things for granted.
To this effect, I am hereby directing our National Secretary Mr. Muhabi Lungu to immediately begin the process of reorganizing MMD, starting from the grassroots structure at the Ward level, through to the Constituency, District and Provincial level. I am aware that this restructuring process, due to a number of factors which include resource mobilization limitations, may take several months. It is my hope that this process will remake and re-energize our party so that our performance in by-elections and our general circumstances improve for the better. I have every confidence that by the time our National Convention is held in line with our Constitution, the party will once again be in a state of battle-readiness.
I am already in the process of engaging the senior members of the party and the NEC so that the total reorganization of our party is done quickly and efficiently. There shall be no sacred cows in this process, even if it requires that entire Provincial, District or Constituency Committees at any level be dissolved and fresh mandates granted. We have to undertake and undergo this difficult process in order to conclude the re-engineering of MMD. Failure to take this drastic strategic step may put the party at a continued disadvantage in future contests.
I urge all members of the party, at all levels, to be focused and sober as we attempt to make this reorganization possible. It will not be helpful to any of us if such an important process is done in a disorderly manner and negatively impacts on the remaining by-elections that are currently taking place. It is all our responsibility to think about the welfare of the party first, and put aside our personal interest.
I want to emphasize that as we reorganize, we have to keep in mind that we are going into another crucial battle for the 11th September by-elections. We have learnt painful lessons from our past mistakes. Although often viewed negatively, failure is a cardinal part of the path to success. As the famous adage goes, there is a silver lining around every dark cloud. I strongly encourage our party members to remain disciplined, united and steadfast as we face our battles. We should not do anything to distract ourselves from encouraging our five candidates and campaign teams involved in the next set of elections. We have a real opportunity to perform well and win all the coming five seats that we are contesting.
I take this opportunity to warn those within the party that wish to use this loss to make negative public statements, that they will not be tolerated. The National Secretary shall not hesitate to instill discipline in the party whenever necessary by using the powers vested in his office. Any genuine MMD member will not work against the party the way some people have done in the recent past.
ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE
Although we have conceded defeat in the Mangango by-election, we wish to put it on record that the result does not reflect the true picture on the ground. From the beginning of the campaign period, the nation was gripped by reports and images of electoral violence. Reports of armed gangs ferried into Mangango were the order of the day and the nation started to witness the onset of mayhem and inter-party violence. FODEP, SACCORD, the Electoral Commission of Zambia and the local traditional leadership all expressed and shared concerns about the violence that ensued, ending up in people being assaulted, property destroyed and a Member of Parliament arrested.
Such kind of Stone Age politics should be resisted and all perpetrators brought to justice. All parties that wish to persuade the electorate to vote for them should do so maturely and by using persuasive intellectual arguments, not by throwing stones, burning bridges or hacking each other using pangas and axes.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am very pleased that MMD was neither involved nor named in any single incident of violence. This is not a sign of weakness as some may presume. This is because we are a disciplined and peaceful party that has proved it in deeds. We hope other parties take a leaf from us so that Zambians participate in peaceful elections without a single act of violence. What has happened in other parts of Africa should not be allowed here in Zambia. Let us say “NO!” to electoral violence.
During the campaigns for the by-elections, we went into Mangango and discovered that our structures had been deeply compromised, as has happened in all Constituencies where our MPs have been made Deputy Ministers such as Katuba, Feira and Mufumbwe. In these constituencies, as was the case in Mangango, we suffered a high degree of sabotage from within or own structures. Our Mangango MP was made Deputy Minister in the PF Government, only to be discarded in the now familiar “Don’t Kubeba” fashion.
Despite all these setbacks, we refuse to lose hope and will not be deterred as we prepare for the five upcoming by-elections in the following constituencies with their respective candidates: Solwezi Central – Lucky Mulusa; Kasenengwa – Victoria Kalima; Zambezi West – Prisca Kucheka; Vubwi – Eustarckio Kazonga; Mkushi South – Sydney Chisanga.
In conclusion, I urge our candidates in the upcoming by-elections to work extra hard and take nothing for granted. It is now upon you to take the MMD message to all corners of your respective Constituencies; the message of peaceful multi-party elections; of honesty and integrity; the message of rule of law and of issue-based campaigns.
Tell the people of Zambia that MMD is the New Hope.
The Lusaka High Court has dismissed with costs an appeal application for an order to freeze the Zambezi West parliamentary by-election scheduled for September 11, 2014.
The appeal application was filed by the losing Patriotic Front candidate Christabel Ngimbu.
Justice Judy Mulongoti dismissed the application because there was no likelihood that the appeal would succeed in the Supreme Court.
She also said legally, the appeal did not operate as a stay as Ms Ngimbu contended. An affidavit in opposition of Ms Ngimbu which was sworn to by Gilbert Phiri deposed that there was no reference as to why the Zambezi West parliamentary by-election should be stayed and that even though the petitioner had appealed, such would not have the effect of staying the election.
In this case, Mrs Ngimbu wanted the court to stay the Zambezi West by-election pending an appeal to the Supreme Court against the High Court refusal to render a report to the effect that UPND’S Charles Kakoma committed corrupt and illegal practices during the September 2011 elections. Mrs Ngimbu also wanted Justice Mulongoti to stop Mr Kakoma from re-contesting the by-election for the next five years because the Supreme Court Judgment of October 13, 2013 allegedly found him guilty of committing the illegal and corrupt acts.
But Mrs Mulongoti refused to grant the application because her court did not find Mr Kakoma guilty. She said she would prepare a report based on the findings of her court and not what the Supreme court found.
Local Government and Housing Minister Emmanuel Chenda
Local Government and Housing Minister Emmanuel Chenda has taken a swipe at the Road Development Agency (RDA) for allocating themselves road works contracts that could be done by the many unemployed youths if jobs were to be created.
Mr Chenda said the government had done its job by providing all necessary resources and that it was unacceptable that road construction works were stalling on the basis of lack of funding.
The government through the RDA has embarked on a countrywide Link Zambia 8000 programme for the construction and rehabilitation of Township roads across the country.
The Pave Zambia 2000 project will see the construction of approximately 2000km of township roads across the country using concrete paving blocks and cobblestone technology.
Mr Chenda said the US$348.8 million Lusaka L400 road project was progressing and that the government would engage the RDA and the council to ensure youths benefitted from the projects.
Mr Chenda was speaking during a tour of selected Lusaka roads under the L 400 road project.
“We expected this job to be done by most of our youths so that the jobs are created,’ Mr Chenda said.
Mr Chenda said what was impressing was that the rehabilitation and construction of selected Lusaka urban roads would allow the people of Zambia development as well as conducive environment.
He said the government would continue to focus its efforts on growing the economy.
And RDA has disclosed that the two projects, the L400 and the Pave Zambia 2000 projects were currently running and targeted to rehabilitate not less than 800km of township roads.
RDA executive director Bernard Chiwala said the contract for the engineering design, rehabilitation and construction of selected urban roads in Lusaka was awarded to Avic international Project Engineering Company at the contract sum of US$ 348, 293 which was expected to be completed in three years.
Mr Chiwala said three consultants have been engaged to carry out the design review and the supervision of works in various sites.
Mr Chiwala said despite the works being on schedule in most areas, RDA was facing challenges such as relocation of services such as water pipes and Zesco pylons.
Some of the roads that were toured include Mumbwa road, industrial road, Chawama, Lilayi, Bauleni-Ibex among other roads.
President Michael Sata in September 2013 launched the road rehabilitation and construction which has seen a number of roads rehabilited.
THE Kitwe High Court has rejected an application by United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema to set aside a bench warrant against the opposition leaders because of conflict of interest among his lawyers.
Kitwe High Court Judge in-charge Catherine Mukungu in her ruling said she had noticed that lawyers representing Mr Hichilema, Shamwana & Company and their co-advocates were lead lawyers in the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) case which has dragged acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda to court for her continued stay in the office of the Chief Justice even after she had been rejected by the Parliamentary Select Committee.
Judge Mukungu has consequently asked Mr Hichilema to appoint a new lawyer who would have to make a new and appropriate application to have the bench warrant against the UPND leader heard.
Judge Mukungu noted that it was irregular and against the rules that lawyers representing the Law Association of Zambia could be the same counsel representing Mr Hichilema.
Mr Hichilema has been cited for contempt for commenting on the continued stay of Justice Lombe Chibesakunda in the office of the Chief Justice when she had been disqualified by the constitution because she had passed her retirement age.
Mr Hichilema has complained that he never received documentation on the matter and that this was published in the classified section of the media which neither he nor his lawyers saw.
Zambia Episcopal Coneference representative Father Chiti makes a speech
It is illogical for government officials to continue lying about President Michael Sata’s absence from the public eye when Zambians know him as an extrovert who loves the limelight and the media, says Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) national coordinator Father Leonard Chiti.
And former secretary to the cabinet Skechley Sachika has said cabinet ministers must be held responsible for failing to clear the air on the withdrawal of the head of state from the public domain.
Father Chiti said if President Sata was fit and was working hard, he did not understand the reasons why ministers were going to extremes in shielding the Head of State.
“Officially, he is fit and working hard, but should he not be showing us his works, the fruits of his labour? We know that politicians have perfected the art of lying and so we do not believe his state of health from the statements,” he said.
Father Chiti said whatever was happening to the Republican President could not be so ugly that the Zambian people would have difficulty in knowing about it or accepting it.
He said government should look at this from the perspective of Christianity, and from a moral perspective that people should be told what exactly was happening to the President regardless of its unpleasant nature.
“What is happening to our beloved President? As JCTR we appeal to our government leaders to show charity and be honest to the nation no matter how ugly this could be, we want to know what is going on,” he said.
And Fr Chiti complained that the current leadership vacuum caused by the unexplained withdrawal from the public of President Sata had the potential to discourage would be foreign investment into the economy.
“Surely if you are an investor, you would be worried about whether to place your investments in an economy with an ‘AWOL’ leadership. Economically, this situation has the potential to scare away new investments,” he said.
And Dr Sachika said cabinet ministers must be hold responsible for failing to clear the air on the withdrawal of the head of state from public.
He said there was no harm for the government to clear the nation on the President’s absence from the public figure.
Dr Sachika said the route government had taken to defend the absence of the President from the public compromised state security.
He said Government should have used the correct procedure to address the ongoing rumours.
“I see no reason why the government is not following protocol. It is the duty of every government to inform its people about what was happening if they are to put to rest all the rumors surrounding the disappearance of the head of state,” he said.
Dr Sachika said it was unprecedented for cabinet to operate without the head of state, adding that if the President was unable to administer his duties, Cabinet, on behalf of the people must follow constitutional procedure.
Diggers Rugby Club chairman Chileshe Bweupe has confirmed that Mopani Copper Mine has suspended its financial support to the Kitwe giants.
Mining firms have either reduced or completely stopped funding sports teams after government’s decision to start withholding VAT refunds.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Bweupe revealed that Diggers previously received its monthly grant from Mopani last April.
The immediate-past Kitwe Mayor complained that Mopani’s decision to stop funding Diggers has negatively affected the operations of the Nkana West outfit.
“Diggers Rugby Club of Kitwe has expressed concern over suspension of financial support towards sports by mining companies citing constrained cash flow which has been instigated by a number of factors and exacerbated by withholding of VAT refunds to the mining companies by the Government,” he said.
Bweupe has since appealed to the Government to dialogue with mining firms over VAT refunds.
“Our last funding from Mopani was in April this year and we had a meeting with their senior management who explained to us why they were left with no option but to halt sponsorship to us.”
Bweupe added:”As chairman of Diggers I wish to make an earnest appeal to the government through the Minister of Sports Chishimba Kambwili to urgently look into the issues of VAT refunds which is one of the key issues cited by the mining firms for halting funding to sports clubs.
President Sata during the by election in Mufumbwe presenting the PF candidate Stephen Masumba
Mufumbwe District Commissioner Mankishi Mukokwe has called on government to construct classroom blocks at Kabanda and Shungulu primary schools in Mufumbwe.
Ms Mukokwe said this will help address the inadequate classroom space being faced by grade eight and nine pupils at the two basic schools.
She disclosed that the two primary schools are accommodating more than 350 pupils in the two existing classrooms.
The DC made the call after conducting awareness activities for women groups in Mushima area together with officers from the Ministry of Community Development.
And Shungulu Primary School Head Teacher Boaz Muzhama revealed that pupils from the school were learning from nearby churches due to few classroom spaces.
He further stated that the school lacked desks and only 40 were delivered to the school last year.
Mr Muzhama added that the school only had seven teachers instead of 12 as required by the school establishment while Kabanda Primary school has six teachers instead of the required nine.
Kabanda Primary School Head Teacher James Muwowo has since urged government to deploy more teachers to schools in rural areas.
Meanwhile, Acting District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) Debby Jipira said government attaches great importance to education and was working at modalities to address challenges faced in schools in the district.
Nkana have settled down in Ivory Coast after arriving on Tuesday night for Saturday’s crucial 2014 CAF Confederation Cup match against Sewe Sport.
The FAZ Super League champions trained twice on Wednesday under the guidance of Coach Beston Chambeshi.
Chambeshi’s assistant Zeddy Saileti said all was well in the Nkana camp.
“All is fine so far…We are just looking forward to recording a victory on Saturday,” Saileti said from Abidjan.
This final Group B match will kickoff at 17h00 Zambian time (15h00 local time).
Nkana must beat Sewe to be sure of securing a semi-final berth in the second best African club competition.
The two teams drew 1-1 in the earlier fixture played in Kitwe in May.
Egyptian side Al Ahly top Group B with eight points, one ahead of second placed Nkana, Sewe are third with six points and bottom placed Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia have five points from five matches played.
