Inmates at the Gwembe Police cell have been sharing a twenty litre container to relieve themselves, after the toilet system got blocked several years ago.
A check this morning found a yellow container that has been cut in half balancing on top of the toilet pan and is used as a lid for the blocked toilet as well as for answering the call of nature.
IT was further confirmed that the inmates empty the used container in a nearby ditch, about 15 metres from the police station, accompanied by an armed officer.
The container is emptied and rinsed with plain water once or twice a day, depending on the frequency and number of inmates at a given time.
Gwembe Police officer- in-charge, Tundwe Chisanga confirmed that the problem had been on- going for over several years now and attributed the sad situation to lack of funding and inadequate office space for the police department.
The squared police cell that is about 2 metres wide poses a health hazard to both inmates as well as police officer due to the stench that emanates from the blocked toilet and the over-crowding.
Gwembe District Commissioner, Raymond Nampindi said his office was not aware of the unhealthy situation as the matter was not brought to his attention.
Mr. Nampindi who then visited the police cell to have a spot check was moved by the pathetic condition in which inmates were in and promised to rectify the problem next week.
And Gwembe Administrative Officer, Matthias Fundi has appealed to well-wishers to help supply the police cell with disinfectants to ensure inmates stayed in a healthy environment.
Mr. Fundi said the small size of the police cell put inmates at risk of contracting contagious diseases.
“It is a sad situation. All of us are potential culprits. Anybody can be pushed in a cell – even on false accusations. Some senior officers have been pushed in there and when they came out, they wanted to resign. It is not a good place,” he said.
In another development, a 33 year old man of Lumuno village in Gwembe today displayed at the district administration office, charms that where discovered in his house earlier this week.
Staywell Hamoonga displayed the charms in the full view of the District Commissioner, the Administrative Officer and other government staff.
Hamoonga narrated that he was forced to seek intervention from a Zionist prophet after seven years of torment.
He said the charms were used on his wife in the night each time they go to bed.
Hamoonga disclosed that the two pieces of bones that were rapped with human hair, beads, 17 needles, and a mirror glass were responsible for his unsatisfying sexual relationship in their marriage.
Hamoonga who is a security guard at Gwembe clinic said that he fears for his life and plans to leave the village.
A group of baboons has tempered with the Zambia National Broadcasting Cooperation (ZNBC) receiving dish inItezhi-tezhi district disrupting television signal.
The incident happened barely two days after ZNBC restored its television
signal to the district after more than one month without signal.
Itezhi-tezhi Acting District Commissioner (DC) Hampende Hichilema
confirmed the incident to ZANIS in interview that the baboons descended
on the ZNBC installation on Saturday morning and disturbed the dish.
“The incident happened on Saturday when a group of baboons were playing
around the dish and in the process they moved the dish from its position
and some cable to the LNB got disturbed” he said.
A check at the ZNBC dish by ZANIS revealed that the dish was slightly
moved off its position and some rods supporting the dish were bent.
The Acting DC has asked ZNBC to provide protection of the satellite dish
to prevent further damage of the installation by the baboons.
Meanwhile Itezhi-tezhi residents have asked ZNBC to urgently restore the
signal to Itezhi-tezhi.
One resident Mukubulo chilufya appealed to ZNBC to treat the loss of the
signal to the district with urgency so that the district is not left in the
dark in terms of information and current affairs.

The Nakonde border in Northern Province has
been temporarily closed following a riot that erupted this morning leaving
three vehicles damaged.
The riot was started by Tanzanian traders conducting business on the
Zambian side when a combined team of Nakonde council and Zambia police
tried to move them from vending on an undesignated area.
The fracas that started at about 10:30 hours this morning has left both
Zambian and Tanzanian customs gates closed.
All officers and clearing agents at the border scampered for safety as
police fought with the irate Tanzanian nationals.
Nakonde District Commissioner (DC) Billy Silwimba confirmed the
development to ZANIS and described the riotous behavior by the Tanzanian
nationals as unfortunate.
Mr. Silwimba said normal business is expected to resume any time soon
adding that the confusion has been sorted out and what is remaining is for
the two authorities, the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) and their Tanzanian
counterparts to resume normal operations.
Mr. Silwimba assured importers and the local people not to panic as the
situation was now under control.
Meanwhile an eye witness told ZANIS at the border that the riot was
started when the combined team tried to disperse the Tanzanian nationals
who sale various merchandise on top of the TAZARA under bridge tunnel which
is on the Zambian side.
The irate Tanzanians started throwing stones and all sorts of objects on
the combined team of council and state police who pounced on them and
confiscated their goods.
Three newly imported vehicles which include a Toyota Hiace mini bus were
damaged in the process before a reinforcement of police officers from both
TAZARA and general duties arrived on the scene.
Heavily armed police officers have since been deployed to keep vigil and
DC Silwimba says officers will remain patrolling the area for some time.

Mpulungu, Mar 10, ZANIS – Police in Mpulungu have arrested a 48-year-old
man for allegedly defiling two girls aged 10 and nine respectively.
Both police in the area and the parents to the girls have confirmed the
incident.
Mothers to the defiled girls said their children were defiled last
Saturday afternoon as they were returning from a church programme at the
local Catholic Church.
They said the girls had stopped over at their friend’s home to play.
The mothers said it was at the friend’s place where the two girls fell
prey to the alleged defiler.
The man, who has been identified as Alex Mukuka of Muzabwera village,
allegedly lured the girls into his house after pleading with them to sweep
his room.
He defiled the two girls while the third girl, upon hearing the cries of
her friends managed to run away for safety.
They said according to the girls’ testimony, Mukuka threatened to beat
them up if they ever narrated the event to their parents or to any other
person.
The mothers said to cover up for his offences, Mukuka got some water and
cleaned the children’s private parts.
But when the children, who are from two separate families reached their
homes, told their parents about what Mukuka has done to them.
The parents then reported the matter to the police who in turn arrested
him and remanded him before he appears in court.
By press time, the parents who were found at the police station with their
children were still awaiting a medical report and laboratory test results
from the hospital.
The results of the medical report will ascertain among other things,
whether there was penetration and if the children had been infected with a
sexually transmitted disease (STD).
In another development, the Mpulungu magistrate court has sentenced a
25-year-old man to six months imprisonment with hard labour for stealing a
Black and White television set and a radio cassette.
Mwansa Mumba of Muzabwera village in Mpulungu was sentenced today after
he was convicted of burglary and theft contrary to section 301 (a) and 272
of the penal code, CAP 87 of the Laws of Zambia.
Particulars of the offence were that on the night of 25 February, 2010,
Mwansa Mumba did break and enter the dwelling house of Kunda Sikalumbi with
intent to steal therein and did steal from there, one Black and White TV
set, a radio cassette and many other items all valued at K990,000.
The court heard that the property belonged to the owner of the
house,Sikalumbi.
In mitigation, Mumba, who had pleaded guilty to the charge, asked for
lenience from the court, saying he was born alone in his family and had no
one to help him.
He said currently, he was looking after his parents who were aged and
might go through untold misery if he was sent to prison.
But in passing judgment, Mpulungu magistrate court Miyato Muyambango said
he had taken into account the fact that Mumba was a first offender who was
entitled to leniency.
He however noted that the offence of burglary and theft was a very serious
one, adding that such offences were very common in Mpulungu.
He said he was sending Mumba to prison to help him reform and learn to
respect other people’s property in future.
Mumba was then slapped with a six months prison sentence which he would
serve with hard labor with effect from the day of arrest.

ZAMBIA has secured a concessional loan of US$ 1 billion from the government of China for investment in development projects in hydro power, housing, road infrastructure and other sectors.
Commerce, Trade and Industry Minister Felix Mutati said in an interview in Lusaka yesterday, in addition to the US$ 1 billion, the government of China agreed to give Zambia a grant of US$10 million for use of whatever purpose needed for the completion of the Ndola stadium.
Mr Mutati said Zambia was able to secure the US$1 billion because it was the first African country, with a high powered delegation to visit China after the Forum for Africa China Cooperation (FOCAC).
“We were the first among the African countries to make a presentation to China for various projects amounting to US$1 billion. The various projects are in power sector development for the two hydro power stations, housing, road infrastructure and other sectors. It’s because of the president going to China that we have been able to secure a loan of US$1 billion,” Mr Mutati said.
Zambia was able to secure the funds following the Cooperation FOCAC meeting in Egypt in November last year.
During the FOCAC meeting, China made pledges on its cooperation with Africa including a provision of US$10 billion in concessional financing for various projects in African countries.
Further, he said China pledged to set aside US$1 billion to support small and medium entrepreneurs (SMEs).
Mr Mutati said it was to the advantage of Zambia to be among the first countries to seek the funds saying as a result, the nation was able to access US$1 billion, which other countries might not be able to get.
The insinuations that President Rupiah Banda’s visit to China was a sheer waste of time and resources were unfortunate considering the benefits that Zambia was set to achieve.
“There was merit for Zambia to go to China as quickly as possible and agree on the framework of accessing the resources to ensure quick delivery of goods and services,” Mr Mutati said.
He said he was particularly happy that President Banda accepted to go to China and meet his counterpart Hu Jintao who directed his government that he would want the issue of Zambia accessing the funds to be addressed expeditiously.
As minister, he said, the presence of Mr Banda in China made his work and that of the other ministers easier as the two heads of State were able to hold talks at higher level.
In addition to the funds, Zambia was able to sign memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with commercial institutions in China.
One MoU was signed between Zambia and China Non Ferrous Metals, which was currently developing the Chambishi Multi Facility Economic Zone (MFEZ) to also develop the Lusaka sub-zone.
“They will start the implementation of the Lusaka sub-zone as soon as the rain is over and they pledged $300 million,” Mr Mutati said.
He said that the Government signed an MoU with China Africa Development Fund that has appointed Zambia as the regional office on the continent.
Zambia signed another MoU with Beijing Gold Common Mining Investment Company to deal in the construction industry.
In the Government’s delegation to China, there were representatives of 50 Zambian companies that were able to secure joint investment ventures with their counterparts in China.
One such Zambian business entity was Biomass PLC, which managed to enter into a joint venture with Walhan Kaida for the development of bio-diesel using jathropha.
“The initial investment for this project is US$400 million and this is purely private sector investment,” Mr Mutati said.
As such, he said, politicians should desist from complaining that the president’s visit to China was a waste of resources and time, saying the move has proved to be beneficial.
It was Government policy to attract investment not only from China but other countries saying next week, a delegation would be sent to India to lure investors from that country.

PARTIOTC Front president Michael Sata has said late president Mwanawasa’s decision to evacuate him to South Africa for treatment after he suffered a heart problem was a public relations gimmick.
Mr Sata said in an interview on Tuesday that Dr Mwanawasa thought he (Mr Sata) had already died and the decision to send him for treatment would have been a mere formality.
He claimed that Dr Mwanawasa was trying to play public relations so that people could think his Government had flown Mr Sata for treatment when he had already died.
Mr Sata was reacting to former National Energy Sector and Allied Workers Union (NESAWU) General Secretary Yotam Mtayachalo who accused the PF leader of being hypocritical for saying Dr Mwanawasa had wanted him to die in jail.
Mr Mtayachalo said the PF leader was being ungrateful for accusing Dr Mwanawasa of wanting him to die in jail when he had saved his life by sending him to South Africa for treatment.
Mr Mtayachalo said in Ndola on Tuesday that it was unfortunate that Mr Sata who was full of praises for Dr Mwanawasa after having his life saved by being evacuated to South Africa for treatment, could now insinuate that the late president wanted him to die in jail when he was incarcerated over the case involving a motor vehicle.
Mr Mtayachalo said it was hypocritical for Mr Sata to accuse the late president of wanting him to die in prison when the PF leader had been on record praising Dr Mwanawasa for having served his life.
He said Mr Sata’s inconsistent statements were making it difficult for Zambians to be convinced that he would make a good leader if elected president.
Mr Sata was on Tuesday quoted in The Post newspaper as having said Dr Mwanawasa would have arrested him if he was corrupt when he was in Government but further went on to say the late president wanted him to die in prison but could not succeed.
“The biggest problem with Mr Sata is his high level of inconsistency. If you look at his statement, he is saying Dr Mwanawasa would have arrested him if he was corrupt when he was in Government and the same Mr Sata is saying Dr Mwanawasa wanted him to die in jail, what then was he doing in jail? Why was he arrested and put in jail during
Dr Mwanawasa’s reign? One cannot go to jail and at the same time claim that he is too clean,” he said.
Mr Mtayachalo said it was now clear that Mr Sata was panicking as evidenced by the various unclear statements he was issuing with the aim of clearing his image by featuring on various radio stations since several allegations against him were exposed.
But Mr Sata said Dr Mwanawasa ignorantly saved his life because he was told that the PF leader was actually already dead.
“Yes Mwanawasa saved my life ignorantly because he was told that I was already dead and he was told by some people that I would actually not even survive the flight to South Africa. Dr Mwanawasa just wanted to play public relations.
“You see even my priest, Father Chilinda also came to Care for Business Hospital where I was admitted with the aim of administering the last olive oil on me because he was also told that I was already dead but I told him that I was not going to die,” Mr Sata said.
He claimed that even Dr Mwanawasa himself confirmed to him that he was told that the PF leader was actually already died. “What I am saying is the truth. There is nothing I can lie against the dead. How many times did Dr Mwanawasa send me to jail?” he said,

Chief Macha of the Tonga people has taken a swipe at some government leaders for their alleged lack of respect for traditional leaders.
Speaking in Choma today during an inception workshop on Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), Chief Macha said it was disappointing that some government leaders had failed to accord the traditional leaders the respect
they deserve.
He said traditional leaders are important in facilitating any developmental process and therefore, deserve to be respected. He regretted that some government leaders, among them Ministers and Permanent Secretaries, had a negative attitude towards chiefs.
The visibly annoyed chief said while 13 chiefs from Lusaka and Southern provinces had traveled to Choma to attend the workshop organised by the Ministry of Local Government, it was shocking that the minister and
permanent secretaries themselves were conspicuously absent.[quote]
Chief Macha, who is chairperson of the district joint programme monitoring team on sanitation, said he expected the minister or the permanent secretary to be present at workshop which he said was important in
uplifting the lives of the people through proper sanitation.
Chief Macha said some politicians only recognized the influence of chiefs when they were in trouble. “Very soon it will be an election time and you will see government leaders coming on their knees before the chief. This culture is bad. Chiefs are more permanent than the political leadership which can be hired or fired by
the appointing authority,” he said.
The traditional leader said there was need to affirm meaningful involvement of traditional and civic leaders in sanitation through the concept of CLTS.
Chiefs Macha cited lack of capacity in local authorities to manage water and sanitation programme as a hindrance.
He urged government to scale up CLTS by ensuring that the programme becomes a national programme.
And speaking earlier, Ministry of Local Government Senior Engineer in the Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Programme, Marjory Lusaka, said
government has adopted the Community Led Total Sanitation programme to help address the low sanitation coverage. Mrs. Lusaka said government envisages attaining an increase of 50 percent sanitation coverage by 2011 among the rural population.
Currently, the sanitation coverage stands at 13 percent and CLTS has been identified as the answer to the problem.
The workshop, which was organized by the Ministry of Local Government and Housing, in conjunction with UNICEF and other cooperating partners, has attracted 13 chiefs from Lusaka and Southern provinces to officially launch
CLTS as an official government programme after being piloted by UNICEF in the past years.

Various companies in Lusaka owe the Lusaka City Council (LCC) about K1.2 billion in billboard advertising fees.
LCC Assistant Public Relations Manager Habeenzu Mulunda told ZANIS in Lusaka today that some companies have not paid the outstanding balances to the council for a long time.
Mr. Mulunda said the council will next week embark on removing the billboards belonging to companies that still owe the local authority.
He said the council expected companies to be honest enough to pay for their adverts on billboards, which he said were not for free.
Mr. Mulunda explained that LCC will not issue any public notices on when to raze the billboards because the action to do so was long overdue.
“K1.2 billion is a lot of money and we will not issue any notices to companies that owe the council. This news item should serve as a warning,” he said.
And Mr. Mulunda stated that once the billboards in arrears are razed, other companies that would be willing to apply for space should take the opportunity to do so.
Mr. Mulunda appealed to companies to ensure that they settle their payments.

Sunday Nkonde has said he will not bow to Kalusha Bwalya statement that he resigns if he is not happy that Simataa Simataa’s suspension stands despite the former declaring it null and void.
And football administrator Anthony Kasolo has added his voice backing Kalusha’s action saying the Faz executive had every constitutional right to ban Simataa.
Simataa was banned last Monday by Faz from all official and club functions for bringing the game into disrepute.
Nkonde said in a press statement today he had done nothing unconstitutional by and will not resign after lifting Simataa’s ban.
“I have taken note of the position by the Faz executive through the Faz communications manager Mr. Eric Mwanza and the president Mr. Kalusha Bwalya to effect that the Faz executive will not accept my advice or opinion that the indefinite suspension of Mr. Simataa Simataa is unconstitutional, ” Nkonde said in a press statement.
“Mr. Bwalya has gone further to tell some sections of the media that the Faz executive is the supreme organ between council meetings and if I am not happy with the decision of the Faz executive, I should resign. Mr. Bwalya further states that I should declare interest in the latter.
“I wish to be very clear; 1. I will not resign since I have not done anything unconstitutional. 2. I have given my opinion in response to Mr. Simataa’s letter to me as chairman of the disciplinary committee. It ‘s not about being happy or not. It is about stating what the law is. I have no interest to declare in this matter. 3. I will not force the Faz executive to accept my advice or opinion. However, the truth is and will remain the truth.
“What the Faz executive or whoever sat in the name of the Faz executive did in giving themselves disciplinary powers to discipline officials of Faz members clubs or associations was and remains unconstitutional and null and void ab initio.
“The argument that the Faz executive is the supreme organ of Faz between the council meetings is only correct to an extent as it does not mean the powers of the Faz executive between council meetings are limitless.
“Even between council meetings the supremacy of the Faz executive is limited at Articles in the Faz constitution. In this case, Article 47 does not give power to Faz to the Faz executive to perform judicial functions including handling disciplinary cases involving officials of Faz member clubs and associations.
“Does the Faz executive realise the implication of their action? 1. Faz does not mean the Faz executive. The disciplinary committee is also part of Faz.5. As chairman of the disciplinary committee, I am alarmed at what I am hearing and seeing. I am expected to sit idly by while the powers vested in the disciplinary committee are being usurped without ant remorse? No. I will still ask my friends in the Faz executive-at least those who have not understood my opinion -to reflect again in the interest of constitutional order. It is not about Simataa or any individual. it is about the Faz constitution.”
Meanwhile, Kasolo said at Wednesday’s Faz press briefing at football House that Faz where within their constitutional jurisdiction to suspend Simataa and that the disciplinary committee was subservient to Faz and had no powers to overrule the powers of the Faz executive committee.
Kasolo quoted Article 20 and 28 of the Faz constitution said the executive committee and the FAZ president had constitutional rights to suspend any member.
“The council is responsible for suspending a member. The executive may however, suspend a member that seriously violated its obligations as a member with immediate effect. The suspension shall last until the next council meeting unless the executive committee has lifted it,” Article 20 (1) reads.
“The president shall in consultation with the executive committee has the poor to suspend any member of the executive or standing committee if such a member has committed gross misconduct or has acted in contravention of the provisions of this constitution or any rules and regulations made hereunder. Provided that the president shall inform the FAZ council before the said member is formally charged and shall, within one (1) month of the date of suspension submit a report pertaining to the said suspension to the council and the council shall then confirm, reverse or alter the president’s decision as it shall deem fit. The person suspended shall be charged and tried and shall be given a chance to exculpate himself within three (3) months of the alleged misconduct,” Article 28 (1) reads.
