Aspiring MMD Presidential candidate, Nevers Mumba has continued lamenting the loose in the September 20th polls accusing the Patriotic Front-PF-of failure to fulfill campaign promises.
Dr. Mumba has therefore accused the PF of assuming office fraudulently based on the fake pledges to the people of Zambia.
He has also questioned more money and more jobs if all there is to show is street vending for the young people.
And Mwata Kazembe of the Lunda people of Luapula Province has asked opposition political parties to remain firm in the face of many challenges.
The Mwata says opposition parties are relevant for any democratic dispensation owing to the provision of effective checks and balances to the ruling party.

He said this when MMD Presidential aspirant, Dr Nevers Mumba and the entire Luapula MMD Provincial leadership called on him at his palace.
Meanwhile, The MMD in Luapula province says the party is still intact and strong. Luapula Province MMD Chairperson Emmanuel Chungu says the party just needs to be reorganized.
Mr. Chungu told MUVI TV news in Mansa that the party leadership is working at motivating members and make them accept the fact that they are now in opposition. He adds that the MMD will participate in the governance of Zambia by providing checks and balances.
Faz vice presidential candidate Henschel Chitembeya has challenged Football House to release the electoral college at this month’s elective Faz annual general meeting to be held on March 31 at Moba Hotel in Kitwe.
Chitembeya said in was imperative to know exactly who will vote to avoid discrepancies that have characterized previous elections.
“I am requesting Faz to publish the electoral college. The voters roll because as interested parties we really need to know who the voters are going to be at this annual general meeting,” Chitembyea said.
“From past experience we know that not all people that vote are eligible voters so we want them to publish the voters roll. After all, Kalusha (Bwalya) was in one of the media saying they are a transparent executive and publish the voters roll is an issue that borders on transparency. “I don’t know what they are afraid of by publishing the voters roll.”
Chitembeya is standing against Andre Mtine and incumbent Boniface Mwamelo for the Faz number two post.
He also urged the National Sport Council of Zambia to take an active role in the Faz annual general meeting.
“I wish to urge the sports council to no longer sit on the fence they should take an active part and an active interest in the forthcoming Faz elections to avoid all the discrepancies,” he said.
“As we are going around campaigning we are noticing a lot of discrepancies the kind of people that are saying they are going to vote some of them are just provisional members who have not been ratified yet by the Faz AGM. In any case even if they are ratified at the Faz AGM they can only vote at the next annual general meeting in 2013.”
Opposition UPND has described as unfortunate President Sata’s continued undermining the rule of law through his open attack on people and accusing them of crimes in public.
UPND Deputy Spokesperson Cornelius Mweetwa has also accused the president of breaching article 18 the constitution which states that a person is innocent until proven guilty by the courts of law.
He says it is unfortunate that President Sata has continued accusing opposition leaders of theft.
Mr. Mweetwa who is also Choma MP says President Sata should have used the youth day to articulate issues other than taking a swipe on defenceless opposition leaders.
He called on the president to concentrate on alleviating poverty other than attacking defenseless citizens.
President Michael Sata has appointed Mpika Member Parliament Mwansa Kapeya as Deputy Minister in the Ministry Information, Broadcasting and Labour.
President Sata says Mr Kapeya will spearhead the establishment of television stations in provincial centres countrywide.
This is according to a statement released to ZNBC News by Special Assistant to the President for Press and Public Relations George Chellah.
President Sata says government attaches great importance to people access to information.
He has observed that the current state of affairs is not enough to cater for the growing information needs of the general populace.
President Sata says government desires to ensure Zambians especially those in rural areas receive adequate information through radio and television hence this decision to create television stations in provincial headquarters.
The Head of State said the establishment of television stations in provincial centres will enable people to view local content and productions thereby enhancing and safeguarding Zambia’s cultural heritage.
Mr Sata is confident that Mr Kapeya will perform to his expectations and that of the Zambian people in general.
Mr Kapeya, a former Director of Programmes at the National Broadcaster ZNBC, boosts of an illustrious career in the broadcasting industry.
He rose through the ranks at ZNBC before retiring to join active politics under the Patriotic Front.
A visiting International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission to Zambia led by mission chief Trevor Alleyne has predicted that Zambia’s macroeconomic performance is expected to remain robust this year, with Real GDP growth projected at 7.7 percent.
Speaking at the conclusion of the visit in Lusaka today,Mr Alleyne says the Real GDP growth reflects the strong growth in copper production and non-maize agriculture, and an expansionary fiscal policy.
QFM NEWS reports that Mr Alleyne also noted that Inflation declined to 7.2 percent at end-2011, broadly in line with the authorities’ target, and is projected to end this year close to its February 2012 level of 6.0 percent.
He further states that despite copper prices rising to record highs, the external current account surplus narrowed substantially last year, mainly reflecting a strong expansion in imports and a decline in grants.
He said for 2012, the current account surplus is projected to remain broadly unchanged, while gross international reserves are expected to continue to grow, reaching the equivalent of 3.3 months of prospective imports.
Mr Alleyne says although the crisis in Europe has had little spillover to the Zambian economy to date, a further deterioration in global economic conditions could squeeze trade credit lines; reduce demand for Zambian exports; and lower copper prices.
He said on the the domestic front, policy measures will be needed to ensure that fiscal targets are met; and careful implementation of the planned financial sector reforms will be necessary to safeguard financial sector stability.
He also noted that on the other hand, Zambia’s solid macroeconomic management, the large investments in the copper sector, and recent strong growth in non-maize agriculture all auger well for the country’s ability to withstand global shocks and sustain the growth momentum into the future.
Mr Alleyne stated that maintaining a positive investment climate for current and potential investors should be an important component of Zambia’s growth strategy.
He pointed out that as traditional concessional financing phases out and Zambia relies increasingly on international markets and foreign direct investment, it will be important for the government to implement and communicate clearly a consistent set of policies related to foreign investment.
He explains that this will enhance Zambia’s international reputation as a destination for investment flows by reducing uncertainty.
Mr Alleyne further stated that despite the favorable macroeconomic results, there is an urgent need to re-orient policies to ensure that economic growth and macroeconomic stability are accompanied by strong employment growth and poverty reduction.
He adds that looking forward, it will be important for the Government to implement policies to diversify the economy and ensure that growth is more inclusive.
He says key areas will include tax policy, tax administration, and public financial management to create fiscal space for increased infrastructure spending and improve technical capacity to efficiently administer a larger capital budget among others.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission has been in Zambia from February 29- March 13, 2012.
Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini has directed vice president Guy Scott to this week furnish the house with answers on the companies engaged to rehabilitate State house and Government house the official residence of the vice president.
The Speaker’s directive followed a point of order raised by UPND Monze central Member of Parliament Jack Mwiimbu who wanted to know whether it was in order for the executive to continue ignoring furnishing the house with answers on questions raised despite directives by the Speaker for executive to provide answers at appropriate times.
Mr Mwiimbu cited the failure by government to go back to parliament with an answer on which companies were contracted to rehabilitate State house and Government after the 20th September 2011 elections.
In his ruling Dr Matibini noted that Mr Mwiimbu had raised a pertinent and valid point of order. Dr. Matibini said that Dr. Scott should be able to respond and update the house over the matter within this week.
Meanwhile, Parliament heard today that Police officers in the Choma incident in which a suspected witchdoctor killed two officers last week had run out of ammunition.
Home Affairs deputy Minister Ngosa Simbyakula told Parliament in response to a question by Choma central Member of Parliament Cornelius Mweetwa who wanted to know what the facts are in the case in which two police officers from Choma Police Station and a suspected witchdoctor were killed in Chikanta area in Kalomo District as reported in the Public Media, specifically the Times of Zambia and the Zambia Daily Mail of 6th March, 2012.
Mr Simbyakula told the house that Police officers had gone to the area to arrest the witchdoctor who is suspected to have earlier killed a member of the neighborhood watch.
He said that retreating after running out of ammunition, the Police officers discovered that another officer was missing following the earlier stabbing and hacking to death of a female police officer by the witchdoctor.
The home affairs deputy told the house that after reinforcements the Police officers returned to the scene in the early hours of the following day and found the village deserted, recovering four bodies two for Police officers, one for the neighborhood watch member and that of the witchdoctor.
And Home Affairs Deputy Minister Ngosa Simbyakula said that Government intends to buy more protective gear for police officers. Mr. Simbyakula said that authorities want to buy more bullet proof vests and body armour to protect officers in dangerous situations.
The Deputy Minister said this in parliament this afternoon in response to a question from UPND Choma Central Member of Parliament Cornelius Mweetwa. Mr. Mweetwa wanted to know the facts in the case where two police officers from Choma police station and a suspect were killed in Chikankata area.
Mr. Simbyakula told the house that Government does not pay officers any risk allowances. He said that the allowance was in 2004 integrated in the basic salaries officers receive.

2012 CAF AFRICA U17 CHAMPIONSHIP 2ND RND, 1ST LEG QUALIFIERS
10/03/2012
Chipolopolo and Nkana striker Evans Kangwa has today resumed training after recovering from a bout of malaria.
Kangwa was on 2nd March, admitted to Wusakile Mine Hospital after being diagnosed with malaria.
The striker was this afternoon found training at Garden Park with Division One North side Kitwe United.
Kangwa trained with Kitwe United because Nkana is in DR. Congo playing two friendlies with T.P Mazembe in Lubumbashi.
The teenager was part of the victorious Chipolopolo at Gabon/Equatorial Guinea Africa Cup.
According to Nkana officials, Kangwa is expected to be fit to feature in his club’s opening league match against Nakambala Leopards on the weekend of 24 and 25 March.
I am writing in connection with the recently released list for the so called qualified candidates for ZAF training.What hurts the more is that some of the people who have made the final list never attended any of the interviews which the Air Force conducted from May last year.
My question is how shall we end this corruption?
I understand that the Air Commander just got into office not long ago and yet the corruption has again resurfaced in the Force.We were celebrating Youth day this week and we expect government to help us as youths who have the right qualifications to get into certain jobs or is the Air Force now
only for Majors,Generals and their families?
I am not talking from with out because at one time I was a victim of the said corruption and now I know of someone who never went for these interviews and he has appeared in the final list.Where are we going as a country?
Who shall we run to for help so we can end this corruption especially in the Armed forces?
We need your help so that only the right people are given the jobs they qualify for not what is happening in our country.
The Livingstone High Court has nullified the election of MMD’s Lukulo Katombora as Member of Parliament for Livingstone constituency.
This follows a successful electoral petition in which losing UPND candidate Fredrick Chuunga and Patriotic Front candidate Joseph Akafumba, jointly petitioned Mr Katombora’s election in the September 20 tripartite elections last year.
In passing judgment on Tuesday morning, Livingstone High Court Judge Ernest Mukulwamutiyo, declared the election of Mr. Katombora null and void.
Judge Mukulwamutiyo says although numerical variations could not be used as a basis of nullifying Mr. Katombora’s election, the petitioners had satisfied the court with enough evidence.
Efforts to get a comment from Mr. Katombora, who was absent, during the delivery of judgment failed as his phone went unanswered.
Meanwhile, Mr. Katombora’s Lawyer, Adrian Nkausu, says the judgment was fine but was waiting for instructions from his client on whether to appeal against the judgment to the Supreme Court.
Mr Chuunga and Mr Akafumba had petitioned the election results citing corrupt and or illegal practices committed Mr Katombora and his agents.
The petitioners had also stated that there were widespread irregularities in 16 of the 17 wards in the Livingstone constituency.
File:Former Minister of Finance & National Planning N'gandu Magande
National Movement for Progress president Ng’andu Magande has charged that President Michael Sata has no plan for the youth in the country.
Mr. Magande says this is clear from the President’s directive to the minister of youth and sport Chishimba Kambwili during yesterday’s youth day commemoration in Lusaka to come up with a detailed programme and action plan for youth empowerment.
President Sata said the plan should be reflective of national circumstances and should take into account consultations with major stakeholders such as the youth, United Nations agencies and the commonwealth youth programme.
Mr. Magande has however stated that such a direction shows that the president has had no plans for the youths.The former finance minister says his party however has no problem if the president is delivering according to the expectations of the youths.
President Michael Sata acknowledged yesterday the role the youth played in the last elections to bring about regime change.
And Zambia Direct Movement for Democracy (ZDDM) vice president Charles Kafumbo has charged that president Michael Sata failed to utilize the youth day commemoration to outline a clear future for the youths under the PF Government.
Mr. Kafumbo has observed that the republican president has now two different important occasions failed to give the nation a clear economic path, the other one being during the International women’s day commemorations.He says instead of using such important national days to outline his government’s policies, President Sata used the platform to attack opponents.
He said that the nation is at the moment is faced with a number of challenges which need quick presidential directives.
Mr. Kafumbo has named the continued depreciation of the kwacha as one such major challenge requiring urgent attention.He has since appealed to the president to settle down and begin initiating policies that will bring sanity to the country’s economy.
In 1989, emergency responders received a 9-1-1 call from Maria Rossi (Suzan Crowley) confessing that she had brutally killed three people. 20 years later, her daughter Isabella (Fernanda Andrade) seeks to understand the truth about what happened that night. She travels to the Centrino Hospital for the Criminally Insane in Italy where her mother has been locked away to determine if her mother is mentally ill or demonically possessed. When she recruits two young exorcists (Simon Quarterman and Evan Helmuth) to cure her mom using unconventional methods combining both science and religion, they come face-to-face with pure evil in the form of four powerful demons possessing Maria. Many have been possessed by one; only one has been possessed by many.
PROS
It has a good story line
Had some scary moments.
Had some nice twists to the story.
CONS
The movie ended abruptly ,which was not good as it left to many unanswered questions.
The whole movie was shot like a first-person documentary , so it some of the camera angles were very poor , and it keeps on shaking so- much- so that you cant make out what is happening.
FAVORITE QUOTES
Micheal put down the camera
Maria Rossi: Three people.
Maria Rossi: Three people are dead.
Maria Rossi: I… I killed them.
CONCLUSION
Its not the most scary movie you will watch , it is mostly creepy . It is shot like a documentary ,supposedly to make it feel more authentic ,but the poor camera word takes away from the story. It does leave you with something to think about , do you really belive people can be possessed by demons ? The ending of the movie is very anti-climatic , just as the movie has got you on the edge of your seat its over.
Heirs to the miserable legacy of poverty,tribalism and corruption
THE Reflections of a Panafricanist youth
By E.M.KATYOKA
The greatest challenge that faces the African youth today is not unemployment, nor is it the Aids virus, nor the lack of education. For although all these stand among the major issues holding back the latent potential of the youth in Africa, The greatest challenge the youths face today is a threefold challenge that can be reduced to the dysfunctional nature of the political configuration of post colonial African statecraft.
1.It is the challenge of how the youths can reclaim their stake in the governance system of the nation in order to drive the agenda of national development.
2.It is the challenge of how to make the issues affecting the youth a part of the political discourse of the nation
3.Thirdly and most importantly,it is the challenge of how to end the political hegemony of the generations of our fore-fathers who have had the privilege to enjoy the fruits of independence, and have since squandered the dream of Panafricanism, imposing the miserable legacy of poverty, civil war,famine and corruption on post independence Africa.
It is the challenge to end the marriage of convenience that we the post independence sons of Africa have stricken with a generation of African political leaders that continue to use the youths as ladders for the attainment of state power, promoting the ‘horse and rider’relationship and later abandoning us to the common designation of ‘future leaders’.
[pullquote]For while we continue to change Governments we have never changed the way they work[/pullquote].
The Youth- used, abused and left behind when power has changed hands
For although we the youth, the post first, second and third republican citizens of Zambia have the education, the technology, the privilege and power to change governments both through the vote and through the ‘street’ as has been the case in north Africa. We the youths of Zambia, continue to stand transfixed in the no man’s land of deferred hope, as we wait in vain for better days and the dream of an African renaissance.
Having been reduced to mere pedestrians, only to be used, abused and left behind when power has changed hands. An inconsequential statistic
on the agenda of politicians only to be referred to in speeches and reports that are long forgotten before the ink on the paper they are written on even dries.
All this in spite of the fact that we the youths have stood at the for-front of all the major changes in government from independence to 20th September, 2011.
Why? Because we have been ‘changing governments’ and not changing how they work.
It is ironic, would even be funny if it was not so sad that we of all the generations of Africa’s youths, who ought to be the most liberated,the most privileged and the most educated, having been born long after the colonial episode of Africa was closed, still stand captive.
Captive to a history steeped in superstition, captive to the unrealised dreams of economic independence and future affluence;captive to the age old disease of yesterdays Africa; tribalism;Captive to corruption and a bankrupt class of master political kleptomaniacs who continue to loot our nations treasuries, sell our assets for a song and fight each other to the death in order to have the privilege “to serve us,” captive to a political governance system that rewards the politician and not the citizen.
The Challenge
Thus the challenge of our times is the challenge to take back the governance system of our nation from its current captivity to the whims of political patronage and the parochial interest of those who have turned the citizens into slaves rather than masters of their own destinies. To end impunity and make the politician accountable to the citizen. To not only change government but also to change the way government works. To create a government for the people, by the people and of the people.
As a nation we have perfected the art of changing government. From UNIP, to MMD and now to PF; UNIP promised us heaven on earth and an egg for breakfast for every Zambian, MMD promised us democracy,accountability, the rule of law and a Christian nation. PF has promised us Jobs, lower taxes, and more money in the pocket.
Governments have come and gone but when all has been said and done and the rubber has met the road, when it comes to youth participation in matters of governance, government has continued to look, behave and do the same regardless of who stands at the helm.
For the youth it has been a ‘new deal’ turned into a raw deal every five years. For while we continue to change Governments we have never changed the way they work.
On this youth day, we the youths must creatively engage in revolutionizing our political participation and strategise towards ending our self imposed indifference. Because, for as long as we the citizens of this great nation do not see our part in the scheme of things, as long as we continue to nurse the notion of big government,of a ‘father Christmas’ type of government that is taking care of our future, we allow to exist a government that is not only big enough to meet our needs but also one that is big enough to take all our privileges away.
The new and improved Colonialism
By allowing for the continued centralisation of state power, we have created a monstrous political system that is eating away at our sense of initiative making us servants of welfare, rather than masters of our own destinies. A monstrous political system that will continue to impose social and economic inequality on its citizens while advancing the interests of resource greedy international monopoly capital; re-inventing the pre-colonial exclusion of the African from the means of production and economic viability while advancing the interests of the settler and ‘investor’.
[pullquote]we allow to exist a government that is not big enough to meet our needs but also one that is big enough to take all our privileges away[/pullquote]
Meanwhile those who sit at the helm of Government will collect major kick backs from the Resource colonialists in exchange for policy decisions that
facilitate the continued harvesting of Africa’s resource at the expense of those to whom destiny has bequeathed the privilege of mineral rights. As any keen observer of international political economics will see, the interests and appetites of private capital continue to grow and have become so powerful that they can and do influence shifts in political power and social economic policy against the citizens in favour of the ‘investor’.
Thereby imposing inequalities in economic benefits thus taxing the development of an ethical, honest African middle class through corruption.
I believe Big Government is not the solution but the sickness of our modern social political economic dispensation.It is sad that in most African nations citizens, the majority of whom are the youth do not have the privilege to recall, replace or reject a government as most governments in Africa consist of firmly entrenched Elitist cliques built around ethnic, religious and economic interests.
Thankfully, in democracies like Zambia, imperfect as they may be,citizens can at least vote out of government individuals perceived to have failed in the delivery of the citizen’s aspirations. However,privileged as we may be the sad reality of most democracies not only in Africa but in the rest of the world is that they perpetuate the illusion of change, when a new Government or political formation is elected into power. However, the sad reality is that what changes when a new political formation assumes the reins of power is not the system of government but the faces in government and so the illusion of change is perpetuated.
Should it not be a wonder that in nations like Nigeria, the largest producer of oil forecasted to be the leading African economy by 2015, fuel shortages are the order of the day and a hundred million citizens fall below the poverty datum lines while the government bears a large burden in fuel subsidies whose benefits are skimmed away into Swiss accounts as Subsidised Fuel for domestic use is diverted to markets abroad, granting the sellers and fuel cartels significant advantage and thus distorting the economy of that great African nation? Should it not be a wonder that in South Africa, a
nation plagued by inequality for decades, when an uneducated pro poor politician with strong nationalist credentials comes to power on the shoulders of a youth revolution and pro poor sentiment, the poor grow poorer while big business goes on as usual?
Conclusion
This is the type of Africa we the youths must strive to change. This is the Africa our fathers have built for us. I believe that as long as the African citizen continues to nurse the notion of big government,seeks to better his lot from government welfare schemes and the promise of utopia; the lot of the African will continue to be a miserable one. I believe that what we need in our land to create is a Fare not a welfare society. It is a society that liberates the individual from collective enslavement by a failed collectivism founded on a pretentious socialism whose aim is the cowing of the
masses to the machinery of a state craft that benefits the few and punishes the many, a state craft in which the only conceivable role for the citizen the majority being youth, is that of the hose, while that of the politician is the rider.

Power Dynamos goalkeeper Joshua Titima says his side can eliminate DR. Congo giants T.P Mazembe from this year’s CAF Champions League.
Power and Mazembe will clash in the two-legged first round with the first leg set 24 March in Kitwe.
Titima said he believes that Mazembe are beatable just like any other team in the world.
However, the Chipolopolo reserve keeper acknowledged that Mazembe are considered to be favourites over the Arthur Davies outfit.
“We will be playing against TP (Mazembe) with the aim of wining. People are saying the game will be tough but for me, i believe the game will be easy,” Titima said.
“As players we know what we want to achieve. We want to play the Club World Cup,” he added.
He further assured Power supporters that they should expect a win when their team face Mazembe.
Five key members of the Africa Cup wining Chipolopolo Squad play for the Lubumbashi based Congolese team among them Rainford Kalaba,Stophila Sunzu,Hichani Himonde,Francis Kasonde and Nathan Sinkala.
