Power Dynamos coach Tenant Chilumba says playing at home won’t be a factor when his side hosts champions Zanaco in this Saturday’s FAZ Super Division match in Kitwe.
Tenth placed Power take on Zanaco at Arthur Davies Stadium seeking to revamp their dwindling hopes of winning the league title.
Chilumba predicted a tough encounter against The Bankers.
He said Power are putting behind their unconvincing first round display to focus on the last half of the 2013 campaign.
“It’s a big game and it will be tough. We will be playing in front of our home fans although we can’t depend on playing at home,” Chilumba said.
He appealed for support from Power fans.
“To the fans they should rally behind the boys, they will catch up and start picking up points,” Chilumba added.
The 2012 runners-up are on 19 points after a round of 14 matches played so far this term.

“I don’t have much detail as the case is being handled by our Colleagues in Eastern Province,” she added.
Andrew is accused of uttering statements that have the potential to bring the name of the President in disrepute.

Voting in Constituency parliamentary by-elections across the country have been marred with widespread apathy with most voters staying away and continuing with their usual day to day business activities. Some residents talked on why there were not voting there said there tired of voting while others are reportedly busy looking for market to sell their maize in rural constituencies.
Mkushi North has a total of 37,967 registered voters, 51 polling stations and 71 streams. A check at most polling stations after 13:00 hours found widespread voters apathy with the highest number of votes cast recorded at one polling station standing at 70.
In Kafulafuta, at the time the station was being declared open no voters were present. A check at Lupiya polling station at around 6:30 revealed that only 2 people had cast their votes out of the 648 registered voters. And a check again at Chiwala basic at 8:00hrs revealed that out of 1 982 registered voters 111 had cast their votes.
Voting in the Chipata Central Constituency was marred with voter apathy with few electorates turning up to cast their votes in most of the polling stations. A check at polling stations such as , Road Board Offices, Kanjala, Msekera School, Luangwa House and Magazine Market in Kanjala Ward with few numbers of voters turning up. In Msanga Ward’s Clark Cotton Ginnery and Chipata Motel polling stations respectively had a similar situation.
In the Solwezi East by-election voting kicked off on a relatively slow note with a number of polling stations recording a low turn-out at the time of opening at 06:00 hours.
Some Presiding Officers were however optimistic of recording a voter higher turnout as the day progressed saying the challenge of walking long distance to get to the polling stations had contributed to a low turn-out in the morning.
Chilima Karima and Chilelu Kakanwa, both Zambia natives, will run with a team on behalf of Imagine No Malaria in the Great American Mud Run November 2nd in Manchester, Tennessee . The team will run the 5K obstacle race wearing Imagine No Malaria T-shirts.
Raising awareness for Imagine No Malaria is a cause that holds a particular significance for Karima and Kakanwa. Both runners have once contracted malaria.
“During registration for the race a coordinator asked if we would like to run for a specific cause,” Karima said. “We chose Imagine No Malaria because contracting malaria is a common experience we share. We both know first-hand the suffering and discomfort that one goes through with malaria.”
Karima has been preparing for the race by running three miles weekly at the local YMCA and the park near his home. He said he is looking forward to getting muddy for a good cause.
“If just two or more people take notice of Imagine No Malaria at the race, more lives could be saved,” Karima said. “I would like to tell people that malaria is real, we hope to save lives and there is a way that each of us can help.”

When Karima was 16 years old, he forgot to take his anti-malarial medications while attending boarding school in Kabwe, Zambia and soon began to experience the symptoms of malaria.
“I had to go to the school clinic,” Karima recounted, “after a whole week of fevers, vomiting and other discomfort.”
Karima’s boarding school in Kabwe gave him malarial treatment drugs that were ineffective in ridding him of the illness. He left school and took public transportation on a three-hour journey home where his mother took him to a private clinic in Lusaka.
“I consider myself lucky to have had access to medications,” Karima said. “I constantly think about the people who are not as lucky, who don’t have access to treatment.”
In addition to thinking about the people who die from lack of access to malarial treatment, Karima said he is motivated to raise awareness for Imagine No Malaria by the words of Romans 8:38-39.
“Nothing can separate us from the love of God, neither death nor life,” Karima said, “and neither can malaria.”
Supporters of the team can give on behalf of the runners to Imagine No Malaria at Imaginenomalaria.org.

Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mutembo Nchito has lodged a complaint to chief resident magistrate Joshua Banda against former Republican President Rupiah Banda’s son Andrew’s alleged laxity to appear before the courts of the law.
Mr Nchito told magistrate Banda that the accused person, facing one count of soliciting of a two per cent cut on all payments by the Road Development Agency (RDA), was aware that he was supposed to appear in court yesterday but was not present.
Mr Nchito said this was not the first time that Banda was not present in court.
When the matter came up yesterday for continued defence, Banda’s lawyers from Milner Katolo and associates informed the court that the accused person’s car brokedown on his way to Lusaka and could not manage to be in court on time.
At this point, Mr Nchito rose and asked the court to accord him an opportunity to express himself in chambers.
“Your honour, this is not clear, the accused person is not in court today but he was aware that he is supposed to be in court this morning.
“This is not the first time he is not present in court and yet he is active in making comments in the media,” he said.
This is in a case in which Banda, the former Deputy High Commissioner to India, is facing an offence of soliciting a two per cent cut on all payments made by the Road Development Agency (RDA).
Particulars allege that Banda, being a public officer as First Secretary at the Zambian Embassy in Italy and later Deputy High Commissioner to India, solicited and agreed to receive gratification amounting to two per cent of all monies paid to Frattelli Locci SRI by RDA.
The magistrate gave Banda a benefit of doubt and adjourned the matter to today afternoon.
Republican President Michael Sata has said that he has on several occasions been disappointed by the performance of some government officials.
Speaking during the Swearing in ceremony of Pascal Chanda Kasolo as Luapula province Permanent Secretary at State House this morning, Mr. Sata said that he does not expect the new Luapula province Permanent Secretary to be among those that have disappointed him.
President Sata said that he expected the new PS to work hard and speed up pending developmental programs in Luapula.
He has encouraged Mr. Kasolo not to spend too much time in his office doing nothing but dedicate most of his time to community service.
The Head of State has since urged Mr. Kasolo to work closely with the local people so that he can understands what they are lacking and see how best he can improve their living standards.
And speaking shortly after being sworn-in, Mr. Kasolo told Journalists that he will try to revamp the agriculture, tourism and fishing sectors in the province.
Mr. Kasolo noted that there is abundant land and natural resources in the province which if properly put to good use can improve the living standards of the local people.
He said that there was a possibility of revamping the agriculture, tourism and fishing sectors by way of encouraging and promoting projects initiated by the communities.
Mr Kasolo has also pledged to engage traditional leaders and other stakeholders and see how they can work together and bring sanity to the province.

The Zambia National Women’s Lobby has condemned in the strongest terms the harassment of the UPND women’s chairlady Namakau Kabwiku who was undressed by suspected PF cadres in Solwezi recently.
Women’s Lobby Board Chairperson Beauty Phiri says the harassment is a huge blow to the participation of women in politics as it will serve as a discouragement to women aspiring to participate in the politics of the country.
Mrs. Phiri notes that it is shocking that cadres decided to put aside manners of morality and respect in the name of political campaigns.
She adds that what is even more saddening is that political leaders are condoning the behavior by their cadres.
She has appealed to political players to practice tolerance and respect for one another stating that violence will not develop the country.
She has further urged women across the country regardless of their party affiliation not to let the intolerable act deter them from participating in politics but let it serve as motivation for women to rise up and change the face of politics in the country.
Mrs. Phiri has also urged the youths not to create a volatile political environment that they will live regret when the current crop of leaders is no more.
She states that youths should stop the culture of stripping women naked old enough to be their mother.
Polls have opened in the four parliamentary by-elections taking place in the country.
Voters in Chipata central, Solwezi East, Kafulafuta and Mkushi North constituencies are voting today for their parliamentary representatives.
The four seats fell vacant following the nullification and resignations of Members of Parliament to join the ruling Patriotic Front.
Voting which opened at 06:00 hours is expected to close at 18:00 hours this evening.
Six candidates are contesting the elections in Mkushi North constituency namely Bernard Nshimbi of UNIP, Ingrid Mpande for the Patriotic Front (PF), Jonathan Kapungwe standing on the MMD ticket, National Restoration Party (NAREP)’s Albert Kaweya, and Felix Chisanga contesting as an independent.
In Solwezi, three candidates drawn from United Party for National Development (UPND), UNIP and PF are competing for the Solwezi East parliamentary seat.
These are Villie Lombanya, of UPND, Cephas Luweili, of UNIP and PF’s Peter Ilunga.
Those contesting the Chipata Central seat are UNIP%u2019s Elina Nyirenda, Lameck Mangani of the PF, NAREP’s Kazembe Daka, Penlope Nkunika an independent candidate and MMD’s Reuben Mtolo Phiri.
Those vying for the Kafulafuta seat are James Chishiba standing on the PF ticket, NAREP has Jimmy Kasabwa, and Brian Chitafu from UPND, while MMD’s Evelyn Mwanawasa withdrew from the race for health reasons.
MMD leader Nevers Mumba yesterday stormed Chipata Central Police demanding to see a named Patriotic Front (PF) member who allegedly caused the commotion in Magazine Township which sparked the riot.
Dr Mumba who arrived at the police station in the company of other MMD leaders said he was disturbed that police had let scot-free a PF member who discharged a gun at a rally.
The visibly annoyed MMD leader demanded the arrest of a PF member who discharged the gun at a rally.
Dr Mumba who firstly visited police inquiries but after noticing that the response was yielding nothing from the junior police officers, he went straight to Eastern Province Police Commissioner Grace Chipalila.
He declared that Chipata would not hold a peaceful by-election if an alleged PF member who discharged the gun was not arrested.
“I am giving you one hour and if you will not arrest this person, Madam Commissioner, you must resign from your position,” he demanded.
Dr Mumba complained that most of the issues which were handed over to police were not properly handled.
“I want to see the person whom we handed over to police yesterday (Tuesday) and I have realized that most of the issues that were brought here by the police have not being properly handled,” he said.
But Ms Chipalila said investigations were underway.
She asked the visibly Dr Mumba to wait until after the by-election and that investigations had been instituted.
“As the police we are still investigating the matter and wait until investigations are concluded by the police,” Ms Chipalila said.
The people of Chipata are today going to the polls to choose their area Member of Parliament (MP).
Those contesting are PF’s Lameck Mangani, NAREP’s Kazembe Daka, MMD’s Reuben Mtolo Phiri, Penelope Nkunika of independent and UNIP’s Elina
Herve Renard says Nkana’s prodigy striker Reynold Kampamba must work very, very hard to win back his national team place.
Kampamba has continue to be snubbed by Renard despite his consistent form for club rather than for country over the last two years.
The Nkana striker has also failed to score any goals for both senior and junior teams since December 2011.
“I would like to see more determination, to show anger and to push the door more to be in Chipolopolo,” Renard said.
“He played a lot of friendly games with him and he hasn’t scored.”
Renard said the difference between Kampamba and his Nkana attacking partner Festus Mbewe was that the latter was a team player despite not scoring a goal during the 2013 Cosafa Cup.
“Festus understands what it means to work for the team,” Renard said.
“Someone got a chance to prove something he did something and he played well.”
Mbewe has scored 10 competitive goals this season while Kampamba is four goals behind.
Herve Renard on Wednesday hinted that he may leave his Chipolopolo top job next September.
Renard said some people in Zambia were undermining his work.
He told a media briefing in Lusaka that he will decide his future in September after Zambia’s must win 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ghana in that month.
“We have another big renderzvoud in September,” Renard said.
“And maybe after this game in September I will decide what I will do with my future in this country.I think some people in this country have targetted to destroy me because they have their own reasons,” he added.
Renard is in his second tenure as Chipolopolo coach following his re-appointment in late 2011, a year after leaving the job.
The Frenchman has aided Zambia to winning the 2012 African Cup, the 2012 Nelson Mandela Challenge Cup plus the 2013 COSAFA Senior Challenge Cup.
As NAREP youth league, we wish to register our great disappointment with the repressive manner in which President Sata and his PF has chosen to govern our nation. We wish to remind the PF in case they have forgotten, Zambia is a democratic country and also a Christian nation, therefore we shall not permit barbaric kind of behaviour and undemocratic manoeuvres.
The thuggery mentality is not for this generation, Zambia needs leaders with progressive ideas, it is not our fault that your popularity is melting due to your failure to govern this country according to the wishes of people.
When Zambians said they needed change, they never meant change of names for airports and hospitals, it was not the change of kwacha from old to rebased kwacha. The change which the country needs is the correction of all the wrongs like what you are doing. Zambia does not need a repressive government like you the PF.
[pullquote]All the streets have been taken over by PF thugs who are mostly ex prisoners. They are moving with all sorts of weapons and firing guns at will. These are plain cloths separate PF police with more powers than the state police.[/pullquote]
With all the violence and intimidations especially on us National Restoration Party by the PF agents.Narep youth League demands that Mr Sata must officially announce that Zambia is under a state of emergency because as citizens, we are not free to walk in our streets anywhere in this country.
All the streets have been taken over by PF thugs who are mostly ex prisoners. They are moving with all sorts of weapons and firing guns at will. These are plain cloths separate PF police with more powers than the state police.
As NAREP Youth League, we wish to inform the nation that despite all the intimidations designed to stop our progressive ideas; we shall remain peaceful, more focussed and determined than ever before. For all peace loving Zambians, the time has come for all of us to correct our biggest mistake of 2011 when we handed over the instruments of power to Mr Sata.
Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda with her Deputy, Florence Mumba,
Two senior UPND officials picked up in Lusaka this morning when they petitioned the Acting Chief Justice at the Supreme Court have been released.
They were at the Supreme Court to deliver a petition on behalf of the UPND on Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda to step down.
The two, party Deputy Secretary General Kuchunga Simusamba and Lusaka Province Information and Publicity Chairman Alex Mulenga were detained for four hours at Lusaka Central Police.
They were charged with conduct likely to cause the breach of the peace but the charges were later dropped after officers said they “got instructions from above.”
The two had marched from the Police Service headquarters up to Supreme Court to serve the petition in which they were asking the acting chief justice to vacate her office claiming she was occupying it illegally.
Mr Simusamba, who was carrying a placard written “Parliamentarians and the Zambian people have rejected you, Fumapo Kabiye”, was directed to take his petition to the chief justice’s office and not at the reception where he had attempted to leave it.
He stated in his petition that her being the fountain of justice ought to know that her appointment from the beginning was legally unsound.
Mr Simusamba also wondered how she expected them to have a fair delivery of justice when her appointment seemed to suggest that the Constitution had been suspended and certain provisions like Article 93 (1) had been expunged.
“We note with dismay that your office has not rebutted this unconstitutional declaration, we further note that at government functions such as the recent centenary celebrations of Lusaka, Justice Lombe Chibesakunda was being referred to as “ Her Ladyship the chief Justice”.
In an interview shortly after being released, Mr Simusamba said they are not intimidated by the police’s action.
“We are not intimidated at all.We are stronger than the time we went in,” he said.
Mr Simusamba said the UPND will continue fighting to have Acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda step down as she is not qualified.
Earlier, Lusaka Province Commissioner Joyce Kasosa confirmed the development in an interview.
“I can confirm that Mr Simusamba and Mr Mulenga have both been arrested by police at Lusaka High Court premises and charged with the offence of conduct likely to cause the breach of piece,” she said.
Ms Kasosa said her officers were still conducting interviews and other processes which would determine whether the matter should proceed to court and in an event that the accused persons admitted the charge, then they would have to pay a fine and their case closed.
