GOVERNMENT has said that the Junior Engineers Technicians and Scientists (JETS) fair is making a substantial contribution to pupil learning in the school curriculum.
Education Minister, Dora Siliya noted that despite inadequate funding to JETS organizers, the fair was making a substantial contribution to the education system.
Ms Siliya said this in Lusaka today in a speech read for her by her deputy, Clement Sinyinza at the 41st annual national JETS fair award presentation, whose theme was, “promoting creativity and innovation in science, mathematics and technology”.
She said JETS has helped to train youths to be inquisitive in engineering, and other technological sciences in class rooms and in life.
Ms Siliya however noted that government was aware of the financial hardships being faced by JETS in its endeavors in the country every year.
The Education Minister said the inadequate funding to JETS organizers has been worsened by the global economic crisis.
She stressed that this year’s JETS theme was appropriate as it was an innovation and key to competitiveness among pupils.
And speaking at the same function, University of Zambia (UNZA) National JETS Coordinator, in the School of Engineering Zebedia Phiri called upon the government through the Ministry of Education to fully consider funding JETS in the country.
Mr Phiri who was also speaking in a speech read on his behalf by UNZA Acting National JETS Coordinator Dr. Paul Chisale said JETS has not been attracting donations from business houses.
First Lady Thandiwe Banda, has called on Christian women to bring up strong families with high moral standards that will help fight the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
Mrs Banda said a strong family is a basic foundation for any society to fight the pandemic and mitigate the suffering of those infected and affected in society.
Mrs Banda said this in a speech read on her behalf by Local Government Deputy Minister’s wife, Felicity Musosha, at the official opening of the Anglican Church Mothers Union Conference in Lusaka today.
She said Christian families form the essential component of an ideal society that can survive the devastating effects of temptations and HIV and AIDS.
She has commended the Anglican Church for helping government in assisting the less privileged people in society.
The First Lady said such initiatives must be commended by people in the country as they help government in providing social services to its people.
Meanwhile, the Anglican Church Mothers Union president, Fridah Kazembe, disclosed that the church will next year construct a girls’ boarding school in Lusaka West to help bring up girls in a Godly way.
Dr Kazembe said the Mothers Union will also build a multipurpose skills training centre at a cost of K1 billion where women and girls would be trained in various life survival skills.
She said her organization is empowering the vulnerable and women in society while counseling them on the importance of having a strong marriage.
Dr Kazembe further said the Mothers Union has so far raised over K150 million for the construction of the boarding schools and the multipurpose centre, adding that it is expected to empower women who will in turn contribute to the attainment of the MDGs.
The conference was attended by over 600 women from the Lusaka Anglican Diocese and the Mothers Union from southern Malawi.
The Authentic Advocates for Justice and Democracy (AAJD) says it is saddened by the sharp reactions being projected by the Catholic Church against Government Spokesperson Lt Gen Ronnie Shikapwasha.
AAJD Secretary General, Laiford Mwanza said his organization is disturbed that the Catholic Church would give such a sharp response to Gen Shikapwasha.
Mr Mwanza said what the church should have done was seek audience with Gen Shikapwasha if it felt aggrieved by his statement in parliament, instead of reacting harshly.
He reminded the Catholic Church that it was sinful to be angry in such a manner as to start calling a leader names like pig or any other unpalatable names.
Mr Mwanza said this in a press release made available to ZANIS in Lusaka.
He wondered why Fr Mwewa opted to throw the law of God to the wind and recklessly allow himself to speak like a non-believer.
He further wondered how people outside the church could show tolerance to government leaders if church leaders are showing such intolerance.
Mr Mwanza has since implored Fr Mwewa and the Catholic Church to unreservedly apologize to both government and Gen Shikapwasha for the unwarranted insults as reported in The Post Newspapers of August 11.
He said if Fr Mwewa was going to be stubborn and show no remorse for insulting Gen Shikapwasha, then the organization will justifiably doubt his humility before God whom he claims to serve.
Zambia’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Ghana at Brisbane Road in London on Wednesday has definitely left a sour taste to Kalusha Bwalya’s honeymoon.
The defeat, that saw Zambia struggle to raise a quorum for the match against Ghana, will be remembered in infamy as Kalusha’s very own Motel 6.
The Motel 6 incident 10 years ago was one of the early catalyst that led to the fall of Teddy Mulonga’s executive.
A hungry and haggard Zambia spent a couple of days at a seedy motel of the same name in Miami courtesy of former Zambia team kit supplier on their way back home following a humiliating 7-1 away friendly defeat at the hands of Honduras on December 12, 1999.
On Wednesday night, organizational shortcomings Kalusha’s administration one and half year reign hit its lowest point when Football House failed to keep its eye on the ball.
A lack of foresight in the late filing of the teams UK visa applications left Herve Renard with only 10 quality players to fall back on as Faz frantically scaled the commons and greens of England for some semblance of Zambian part-timers kicking the ball.
And Hichani Himoonde’s 27th minute own-goal summarized Zambia’s shambolic trip to the London East End.
Moreover, Faz woke-up on Thursday to another embarrassment with a screaming headline on the back-page of one of the major daily papers in the aftermath of the defeat.
Holland based striker Jacob Mulenga said he was not injured as earlier reported by Football House but that he got his call-up note late.
Meanwhile, right across the north sea in Belgium were the young Musonda brothers at Anderlecht with no visa hassles to overcome but no diplomatic pressure was exerted to try and beg Charles to give at least one of his sons a chance to showcase their talents.
And to conclude, Algeria beat Uruguay 1-0 at home on the same night in their preparatory match before facing Zambia on September 6 at the same venue.
That’s the way it was on Wednesday, August 12, 2009.
The proper use of a bicycle.An unidentified man and his wife making a majestic ride on one of the streets in Chipata
By Chanda Mwenya
It is pleasing to note how Zambia’s first lady Thandiwe Banda seems to have a heart for motherhood. This is seen in her expression of concern over the high number of women dying as a result of pregnancy and childbirth due to lack of transport means to convey them to health centres. What is sad though, is her revelation that, in Zambia one woman dies every four hours due to complications related to pregnancy and childbirth.
On the other hand, over 50% of expectant mothers are attended to by non-qualified personnel, Thandiwe revealed. This is a situation which she says needs to be resolved with urgency. The first lady reaffirmed her motherly concern earlier this week when Zambike presented her with three bicycle ambulances at State House.
Well I find the whole ‘Zambulance’ thing as the newly invented Zambian Bicycle ambulances are tagged, to be an insult to the welfare of Zambians and the integrity of the country’s health programmes. While I admire Zambike’s initiative and their generous donation of the said ambulances, it is very foolish of the government to exhibit them with delight at State House, when a few months ago it purchased 100 brand new hearses.
I honestly fail to see the logic in rushing someone to the grave in an imported 4WD hearse while innocent lives are pushed and lost on bicycle drawn deathbeds in the name of local innovation.Worse still,
expectant mother are left to give birth in public. Meanwhile Zambike Marketing Manager, who handed over the infamous ambulances at state House, further observed that many women, who die from midwifery related complications, die as a result of walking long distances to health centers. However it is hoped that Zambulance will mitigate this problem in the rural areas.
The controversial fleet of hearses that had been bought by the ministry of local government and housing.
However, my conviction is that Zambians should not only
receive equal but good health services including those in rural areas, and not subjecting them to these primitive and hazardous wagons which government is shamelessly promoting as ambulances. All the government priorities are to gain political mileage on the maginalised rural population.
On the other hand, the Zambian government has upheld the purchase of hearses so as to “help” Zambians bury their loved ones in a dignified manner. I believe only a fool would want to live in abject poverty, die in anguish and in the end get a glorious ride to the grave. In real sense the purchase of hearses was a bad decision which needs to be questioned, because it was not made in the interest of the general public.
Well, if an ambulance is anything that can ambulate someone to the hospital then it will be wiser and more effective to use even the newly acquired hearses. Then the Zambulances can be spared to boost the fleet of Zamcabs on our streets. Actually some concerned citizens have suggested to use them to ambulate Kachasu victims back to their sanctuaries-As long as the Zambulances are tagged ‘Get a ride at your at own risk’.
Farmers in Kawambwa district have complained at the slow pace at which the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) is buying maize in the area.
Speaking on behalf of the farmers, Philemon Chilufya said the pace at which FRA is buying maize was slow forcing farmers to spend a number of days at the maize satellite depots.
He accused the FRA of having breached the earlier agreement that farmers were to be paid 10 days after delivery of their produce to satellite depots.
Mr Chilufya has also complained at the small number of bags of maize allowed for each cooperative to sell to the FRA.
He said the 200 x 50 kg bags were not adequate because some areas had many satellite depots yet the same number is what was allowed.
Mr Chilufya said there was a risk of farmers being forced to start selling their produce to briefcase businessmen for fast cash.
Mr Chilufya has since appealed to the government to intervene and increase the number of bags if all farmers were to benefit.
Meanwhile, Kawambwa District Farmers Association (KADFA) coordinator Charles Wapalwena said about K189 million has so far been paid out to farmers.
Mr Wapalwena said another K100 million had been deposited into the bank and assured farmers that they would be paid what was due to them.
Asked why only one transporter was engaged to transport maize from satellite depots to the main shade, Mr Wapalwena said FRA was responsible for engaging of transporters.
He added that only one local transporter qualified to carry out the transportation of maize saying others who were engaged last year were not reliable.
Mr Wapalwena has since appealed to FRA to consider increasing the number of transporters for quick delivery of maize to the main shade.
And when asked for a comment, District Agriculture Coordinator (DACO)Henry Mugomba said so far, about K1.3 billion worth of maize had already been procured by FRA.
The Food Reserve Agency has targeted to buy over 32,000 x 50 kg bags of maize in Kawambwa district this marketing season.
The Centre for Elections and Governance (CEG) has described the action by University of Zambia (UNZA) students to block education minister Dora Siliya from attending their graduation ceremony as political blackmail.
Centre Trustee, Gershom Musonda says the decision taken is also likely to affect their academic performance.
Mr Musonda said in an interview in Lusaka today that there is need for students to consider engaging in constructive criticism for the betterment of the country.
He said there is no need for students to engage themselves in acts that are likely to bring confusion between their administration and government.
He explained that students should not take advantage of important functions such as graduation ceremonies to air their grievances against government.
Mr Musonda added that students must always devise practical and good ways of pushing their agenda for the development of the institution and the country as a whole.
He pointed out that the recent shooting of the Copperbelt University (CBU) student should not be blown out of proportion.
Mr Musonda stated that there is no need for the students to demonstrate when President Rupiah Banda has shown interest in the matter by ordering the inspector of police to have the police officer who shot the student arrested.
He stressed that students should give the police ample time to investigate the matter and not rush in demonstrations that can bring about confusion and disturb their academic year.
Mr Musonda has further advised the unions at CBU and UNZA to give the minister a chance to perform her constitutional duties adding that she is just an appointee by the President.
UNZA and CBU students are today planning to demonstrate against the delay of arresting a police officer who shot a CBU student.The students have also planed to demonstrate against Education Minister Dora Siliya if she attends the UNZA graduation today.
United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has urged the electorate in Livingstone’s Maramba ward to desist from voting for political failures.
And Mr. Hichilema has strongly condemned ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) cadres’ violent behaviour towards opposition political parties.
Speaking in Livingstone yesterday when he drummed up support for a UPND candidate in today’s local government elections in Maramba ward, Mr. Hichilema urged people to be careful not to vote for political failures in any election.
Mr. Hichilema alleged that the MMD has proved to be a failure and a cheating party that deserves no support at all levels of elections.
He said the MMD leadership is tired and advanced in age that its performance has continued to decline.[quote]
Mr. Hichilema accused Southern Province Minister, Daniel Munkombwe of running out of ideas owing to his old age following his alleged move to drive traders from Tandabale market.
“The MMD party does not like you. It is a lying party. Do not give it your vote. You should stop liking it because it does the same to you by making sure you not earn a living,” he said.
He further urged the crowd that gathered at the PF-UPND rally not to vote for the United Liberal Party (ULP) candidate because its president Sakwiba Sikota is a failure.
Mr. Hichilema said Mr. Sikota is another tired politician who traded his own party members and electorates to MMD in last year’s presidential election.
“You people of Livingstone surprise me by voting for failures. Sakwiba and his ULP party has failed you. Why does Sakwiba want to field a candidate in this election when he had traded his people to MMD during the last election?” he asked.
And reacting to the alleged MMD’s continued name-calling, Mr. Hichilema said he was not in a beauty contest and added that everyone was created in God’s image.
He told the gathering that he will never tolerate politics of foolishness but will exert his energy into developing the nation by ensuring free education and zero-tolerance to corrupt practices.
Mr. Hichilema observed that the MMD party is a minority government that has resorted to violence against its opponents.
Yesterday, a near-fight erupted when MMD cadres advanced towards the rally site where Mr. Hichilema was addressing Maramba residents to drum up support for Boas Maseka, a UPND candidate in today’s local government elections.
The Maramba seat fell vacant following the death of MMD councillor Fred Lungu.
MINISTER of Local Government and Housing Benny Tetamashimba, who is admitted to South Africa’s Morningside Medi-Clinic, is stable and out of danger.
And former freedom fighter Sikota Wina, who is admitted to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg, is improving.
Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa Leslie Mbula said yesterday that he had visited the two.
Mr Mbula said doctors had already examined Mr Tetamashimba and that he is awaiting results of the tests.
“Doctors have assured him that his vital organs like the heart, liver, lungs and kidneys are in good condition, which means he is out of danger….he should be out by Friday,” Mr Mbula said.
Mr Mbula also said Mr Wina’s condition has improved from the time he was admitted to Milpark Hospital.
“Mr Wina looks better than when he was admitted,” he said.
Mr Mbula said doctors at the hospital have done preliminary tests on him and that other tests will follow in due course.
“He is in a very good mood,” Mr Mbula said.
Mr Tetamashimba and Mr Wina were evacuated to South Africa on Tuesday.
Two illegal vendors have just concluded a meal along Lumumba road in Lusaka, although they could have had a better and decent meal at a restaurant shown in the background
THE Ministry of Local Government and Housing has transferred K2.1 billion from the Lusaka City Intercity account to Zambia police to assist the council remove vendors from the streets of Lusaka.
In a ministerial statement in Parliament yesterday, acting Local Government and Housing Minister Bradford Machila said since the vendors had taken full control of the city and the local authority was ineffective in carrying out its duties and a decision was made to involve the police in the removal exercise.
“I, therefore, wish to take this opportunity to appeal to members of Parliament who are councilors to help us in ensuring that their councils carry out their legal mandate effectively, thereby ensuring compliance by our citizens,” Mr Machila said.
He said the K2.1 billion was not from the Lusaka City Council account but from a business venture account which the Government set up to raise revenue for the improvement of facilities such as markets and bus stations throughout the country.
Mr Machila recalled that in 2000, the Government upgraded and increased its oversight of the management of intercity bus terminus in order to bring sanity.
The upgrading of the facility was after the realisation that unscrupulous people were raising revenue at the expense of the travelling clients and the general populace.
“It is against this background that the Government invested in the intercity bus terminus by spending over K5 billion in the tarring of pavements and packing as well as refurbishing the buildings,” Mr Machila said.
Mr Machila said the Government later decided to put the station under a management board, which ran the facility as a genuine business entity.
He said as a result of the efforts of the Government, the station managed to accumulate a surplus of over K7 billion, which was set aside for future investments.
This, Mr Machila said, was not withstanding the fact that the council was receiving K150 million from the station on a monthly basis.
“I must inform that the ministry should have been receiving 42.5 per cent of the surplus income from the station towards improving markets and bus stations but due to the number of projects that the intercity management has initiated, the ministry has refrained from taking the dues,” Mr Machila said.
The minister assured the House that soon, street vendors would be removed from the streets of Lusaka as well as other cities in the country.
He said this when he responded to concerns raised by Mandevu MP Jean Kapata (PF) and Mbabala MP Emmanuel Hachipuka (UPND) who wanted to know when the street vendors would be removed on the streets.
Mr Machila said if the Lusaka City Council was effective, such an undertaking of transferring funds from one account to another would not have been necessary.
He said this after Kabwata MP Given Lubinda (PF) wanted to know why the Government did not consider constructing more markets to accommodate the vendors.
Finance and National Planning Deputy Minister Chileshe Kapwepwe told the House that the Government released K2 billion to assist fight cholera in Zimbabwe in January this year. This, she said, followed a Cabinet resolution.
She said the cholera situation that hit Zimbabwe in December 2008 was beginning to affect some parts of Southern Province, hence the decision to release the funds to save Zambians from being affected.
Further, she said the Southern African Development Community (SADC) meeting to discuss the cholera situation in Zimbabwe resolved that member countries should assist their member state in combating the effects of the water-borne disease.
Ms Kapwepwe said this when she responded to a question by Kanyama MP Gerry Chanda (PF) who wanted to know under whose authority the ministry released the said funds to Zimbabwe.
Mr Chanda said it was wrong for the Government to assist the neighbouring country when citizens in Kanyama were dying as a result of the disease.
Ministry of Justice Deputy Minister Todd Chilembo told the House that books of account for the office of the Auditor General were audited in 2008 and anticipated that in the second quarter of this year, the books would again be audited.
He said this when he responded to a question by Mwinilunga East MP Stephen Katuka (UPND) wanted to know when the books of accounts were audited
PF Leader Michael SataThe International Ministers Fellowship and Affiliated Churches (IMFAC) in Zambia has condemned Catholic Diocese of Ndola Treasurer General, Augustine Mwewa, for attacking government before veryfying issues.
IMFAC Executive president, Paul Mulenga, said Father Mwewa’s utterances in the media showed that he had no respect for government leaders and reverends of pentecotal churchs.
Dr Mulenga told ZANIS in an interview in Chipata that Fr Mwewa attacked General Ronnie Shikapwasha in the Post newspapers yesterday without verifying, adding that the minister had put it clear that he was misquoted by the daily tabloid.
He was reacting to utterances by Fr Mwewa in yesterday’s Post newspaper that General Shikapwasha did not deserve to be government spokesperson because he was allegedly shallow.[quote]
“If Fr Mwewa verified with General Shikapwasha where he said he was misquoted by the Post, he would not have attacked him like that. What I can see is that he respects only those that are in Catholic church and if this attitude continues, there will be no unity between independent pentecostal churches and the Catholic,” Dr Mulenga said.
Dr Mulenga observed that the Catholic Church was practicing partisan politics as shown by the Treasurer General of the Ndola diocese, saying, Fr Mwewa was being used by the opposition.
He also advised Patriotic Front Leader, Michael Sata, not to refer to General Shikapwasha, who is also Minister of Information and Broadcasting, as a fake pastor.
Dr Mulenga observed that Mr Sata belonged to the Catholic Church and it was the reason he was fond of attacking reverends of Pentecostal churches.
“Mr Sata, being a political leader, must respect the clergy regardless of denominations they are coming from. IMFAC would like to call on all peace-loving Zambians to join hands in condemning the language of people like Mr Sata, Fr Mwewa and UPND leader, Hakainde Hichilema,” he said.
Dr Mulenga said the Catholic Church was not the only denomination which contributed to national development, saying his organization was also doing a lot of projects in the country but that could not make it start despising other churches.
He also said it was unchristian by Mr Hichilema to call a minister who is a reverend that he belonged to a category of pigs in the animal farm.
“If you are reacting to what General Shikapwasha said, you must have respect because such language belongs to people of the world,” Dr Mulenga said.
He said IMFAC has respect for all Catholic Bishops and it believed that Fr Mwewa was not fit to be a Christian and a priest of a church like the Catholic because the clergy in the Catholic Church were Christians who should not use wild language.
Dr Mulenga advised political leaders to handle national issues with maturity, adding that if they continued using wild language, they were not going to receive any vote from all independent church members which he said had a large following.
Fr Mwewa is reported in the Post newspapers dated August 11, 2009 to have said that General Shikapwasha did not deserve to be government spokesperson because he was shallow.
According to the Post Newspapers, General Shikapwasha is alleged to have attacked the tabloid and the Catholic Church when he commented in a ministerial statement in parliament last Friday.
Chiefs in Petauke district say government has left many small scale farmers vulnerable to exploitative prices by the private sector due to inadequate markets.
Speaking from Nsimbo palace, senior Chief Kalindawalo said the Food Reserve Agency’s (FRA) measure of 4,000 bags of maize per deport was a mockery to farmers as they could not manage to sell even a quarter of the produce.
And in another interview, Chieftainess Nyanje wondered how a farmer should be given the measure when the same farmer had already measured what to sell and the surplus.
The traditional rulers said farmers have been educated that farming was business and as such their business partners, who are FRA, should show seriousness the business of farming deserves, adding that there was no way the producer should be restricted to a certain access to the market.
Chieftainess Nyanje said her chiefdom had more than 7,000 farmers with the capacity of producing an average of 1,500 bags of maize and being given to sell only 153 bags per farmer was a mockery to them.
The chiefs said the FRA has given the farmers to the exploiters who are buying maize at very cheap prices, thereby pushing the farmers towards the poverty line.
The traditional leaders have advised government to devise a mechanism that would protect small scale farmers from exploitation by some private buyers.
The chiefs have also implored the government to revisit their proposed reduction in a pack of eight to four bags of fertilizer under the FSP.
They said the proposed reduction from eight bags to four bags per pack would only increase poverty and food insecurity.
The saying for when a team performs poorly is, “We didn’t turn up today”. For Zambia’s friendly at Leyton Orient’s Brisbane Road stadium in London against a Ghana team led by Chelsea’s Michael Essien, the saying was the truth.
Starting with only nine professionals, Herve Renard was forced to call upon three unknown UK-based amateurs as William Njobvu and Emmanuel Mayuka had not arrived on time from Israel.
A thrilling first half saw Ghana seal the match. The scoring opened after 11 minutes, Inter’s Sulley Muntari converting a cross from close range. It was two when Hichani Himonde volleyed an embarrassing own goal half an hour in. Zambia rallied. The energetic Given Singulumu played in clubless Stopilla Sunzu, who blasted into the top corner.
But the game was sealed with five minutes of the first half remaining when Dennis Banda conceded a penalty. He was sent off and Junior Agogo converted. Haminu Draman ended the first half with a fourth goal, shortly after Njobvu and Mayuka had entered play. They replaced amateurs Kasase Kabwe and Lengwe Kapotwe. Kapotwe has only come on to replace the injured Njambe Mulenga after eight minutes. His international career lasted 34 minutes.
Reduced to 10 men, Zambia defended manfully in an insipid second half, which Ghana strolled through. After the game, Zambia failed to attend the press conference, where Ghana manager Milovan Rajevac had polite words for his weak opponents. Ghana’s towering defender Francis Dickoh regretted that the likes of his FC Utrecht colleague Jacob Mulenga had not been able to play, providing the Black Stars with more of a challenge. He was surpised to learn that he had been playing against an amateur strike-force. Yet he praised left-winger Fwayo Tembo’s performance, a view echoed by the Chipolopolo fans who named him Zambia’s stand out performer.[quote]
Despite being proud to see their nation put in a hard-working performance against a superior side, the abiding memory for UK-based Zambians will be the shambolic organisation surrounding the game. With tickets selling at £20, fans felt it was an opportunity lost to showcase their best players. Most were critical of FAZ with some blaming the UK for not granting Visas. The real reasons for the no-show of so many Zambian professionals remain to be explained.
