President Rupiah Banda arrived in Tripoli, Libya this morning to attend a special African Union (AU) summit that takes place today.
The Presidential challenger jet carrying the President touched down at 04:00 am at a military airport on the outskirts of Tripoli.
He was received by foreign Affairs Minister, Kabinga Pande, Zambia’s Ambassador to Libya, Mulondwe Muzungu and other Libyan and Zambian officials.
President Banda will be among several heads of state and government attending the summit called to look at conflicts on the African continent and climate change.
Tomorrow the President will join other African and world leaders at the 40th Anniversary of the Libyan revolution.
Bishop John Mambo has commended Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani for the move to stop political party cadres from going to attend court sessions in the country.
Speaking with ZANIS in an interview today, Bishop Mambo said Mr Mangani’s move is commendable.
The clergyman, who is also Chikondi Foundation President, said the new culture of fighting at courts is unacceptable in modern day Zambia.
He noted that political parties going to court with their cadres are only taking the country back to the chachacha (stone throwing) days during the country’s freedom struggle.
Bishop Mambo expressed sadness that such violent acts are happening when first President Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, second President Dr. Frederick Chiluba and the current President Rupiah Banda are still alive.
He added that the violent acts taking place in the country did not portray the nation’s declaration as a Christian nation.
“The violence in the country is making it become a lawless State. What happened on (last) Thursday does not portray the country as a Christian nation, “he said adding that Christians are loving individuals and have a way of addressing problems that come their way.
Bishop Mambo noted that if acts of violence continue in the country, it will discourage the much needed foreign investors to revive the economy.
He added that the fight against hooliganism should not be left to government but all Zambians particularly the church which he said should start teaching its congregants good morals.
He also called on government to come up with stiff laws against violence especially on people in the habit of fighting in public saying violence does not bring development to any country.
Government recently declared that political parties and their cadres should not attend court sessions following the disturbance of court proceedings involving Post News Editor Chansa Kabwela at the magistrate complex last Friday.
A number of MMD cadres violently clashed with their rival Patriotic Front (PF) colleagues severely injuring opposition PF cadres.
Acting MMD Spokesperson, Mike Mulongoti told local journalists at the weekend that the ruling party does not condone violence.
Tourists at the edge of the Victoria fallsBy Wesley Ngwenya
A few days ago, I was in a company of people when one of the ladies made a comment about an area of town that was bushy. Apparently, to her, this area was underdeveloped and instead of the grass and trees she preferred concrete buildings. I responded that we actually needed more green places in the city where people can sit and relax. I gave an example of the beautiful Harare Gardens right in the middle of town and the Monon Trail that runs through Indianapolis.
The discussion then led to how Zambians are not very good tourists. I am often shocked at how many people I meet who have never been to the Victoria Falls. Yet many foreigners travel thousand of miles to come and see the magnificent waterfalls. I am embarrassed to say that the first time I saw a lion was in January 2005.Tourists enjoying a safari in Luangwa national park. What is even more embarrassing is that this was not in Luangwa National Park but it was in Wichita, Kansas. The majority of Zambians have never seen most of our wildlife or our natural wonders. Could it be because we have no interest in nature or we cannot afford to visit these places? Or could it be because this is viewed as a Western thing? Whatever the reason, I think it is time Zambians became tourists in their own country.
The tourism industry in Zambia is dominated by foreigners. Hotels, travel agencies, safari companies, and even airlines are all dominated by foreigners. Imagine what would happen to the industry if Zambians started travelling and enjoyed a boat cruise on the Zambezi? If Zambians participated as consumers in the tourism industry we would see a dynamic change in the country—a lot of revenue is going to come from the tourism. We would promote the industry in such a way that local people will start seeing the opportunities in the industry and invest in it. Tourism will grow to unprecedented levels to become a major source of income for the country.
It is reasonably cheaper for Zambians to be tourists in their own country. It therefore makes economical sense to promote tourism to Zambians. Zambians should start looking at nature as part of their lives. Nature should be looked at a new way. Instead of us pushing ourselves further and further from the animals, maybe it is time we brought our animals closer to us. After all, “they” think that we live with animals in our backyards.
The Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) in Mazabuka has arrested a Ministry of Education employee in connection with trafficking of undisclosed quantities of Cannabis.
Drug Enforcement Commission, Officer in charge, Patson Chiwala could not comment as he was attending a meeting in Lusaka but DEC Sources Commission confirmed the development to ZANIS in Mazabuka yesterday.
The sources said the suspect who is a secretary at Mazabuka Continuation education is currently detained at Mazabuka Police Station.
And Mazabuka District Education Board Secretary, Darius Kaluba who also confirmed the development described the arrest as sad and emberrassing.
He has urged teachers and other supporting staff in the district to desist from engaging in illict business such as selling cannabis if the teaching profession is to be respected.
Mazabuka District is notoriously known for commercialised cultivation and trafficking of cannabis.
Last month alone, 21 people were arrested and sent to jail for trafficking in cannabis.
Mazabuka District Commissioner, Tyson Hamaamba has since expressed worry at the alarming proportions of cannibis cultivation in some parts of the district.

A patient at Mansa General Hospital (MGH) has died after he hung himself in the ward using a shoestring.
And police have launched a manhunt to track down people who burnt down a house belonging to a local radio station reporter in Nchelenge.
Luapula Province Police Commanding Officer Auxencio Mbewe confirmed the two incidents to ZANIS.
In the suicide case Mr. Mbewe said the man named Martin Malama, 35 of Maselino village in Luwingu district died on the spot after he hung himself with a shoe string in the mental annex where he was admitted.
Mr. Mbewe said the deceased lynched himself on the grilled door in the ward.
The deceased and his wife had been at the hospital since last week where they had been nursing their child who was admitted for a suspected malaria case.
Mr. Mbewe said the deceased started behaving strangely and presented some suspected mental illness behaviour.
He said this prompted the medical staff at the hospital to sedate and confine him to the mental annex where he later committed suicide.
And police in Nchelenge have launched a man hunt in a case in which a local radio station, Radio Luapula, presenter’s house was burnt down.
Mr. Mbewe said some villages allegedly torched the house of Philip Kambiko of Kenani Village in protest against a radio program he had presented discouraging illegal fishing methods being used by fishermen in the area.
In his discussion with the panel Kambiko attributed the depleting fish stocks in Lake Mweru to non observance of the fish ban and illegal fishing methods allegedly being employed by the people in the area.
However, the story infuriated some villagers and fishermen who stormed his house around 23 hours and set it on fire while he and his family were asleep.
Kambiko and his family, comprising his wife and four children escaped unhurt but household goods worth millions of kwacha were burnt to ashes.
Police have since appealed to the residents to come forward and help with investigation into the arson case.
Meanwhile, government has condemned the act and described as barbaric.
Luapula Province Minister Boniface Kawimbe said it was sad that the people in the area were opposed to the role the radio station was playing in the development of the fishing industry in the district.
He said government would not condone the intimidation and threatening of lives of journalists as they were key to development.
Fish stocks in Luapula Province fisheries have drastically decreased because of non observance of the fish burn and illegal fishing methods being employed by fishermen.
Radio Luapula in conjunction with the ministry of Agriculture has embarked on a series of programs to discourage the bad fishing methods being practiced and educate the residents about the need to conserve the fisheries.

Zambia national broadcasting Corporation’s (ZNBC) Kwacha Good Morning Zambia programme has become more interesting to watch nowadays.
Last week, I observed that the Saturday morning show now covers a variety of subjects including health, lifestyle, beauty, sports, business and finance. Last week’s show was anchored by Franklyn Tembo Jr and Mary Magambo.
What was reassuring was the way in which the two presenters delivered the programme.
I have followed Mary Magambo’s record on the screen from the time she joined ZNBC not so many years ago when she debuted as a continuity announcer. Mary does not only look glamorous but has a fluent voice too.
On the other hand, Franklyn is becoming a ‘veteran’ in the industry.
The obituary for the late politician, lawyer, Member of Parliament, teacher and author John Mwanakatwe on Wednesday by Katwishi Bwalya was well done. This was during the 19:00 hours main news. Katwishi did some good research, although we were not shown recent pictures of the late Mwanakatwe such as speeches and other public appearances, like they did with the late president Levy Mwanawasa last week.
Coming to MOBI TV, I have noticed that newscasters read most of the news items without the accompaniment of pictures at all. I thought this is television, where we expect to see many pictures.
We do not expect MOBI TV to give us pictures on all the news stories, but it would be worthwhile to give us as many pictures.
ZNBC’s TV2, has started running test transmissions in Lusaka, although my set is yet to pick up the signal. This is all for this week.
FORMER President Frederick Chiluba has complained against Task Force prosecutor Mutembo Nchito’s conduct which is allegedly designed to remove all constitutional options available to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
Dr Chiluba, in a complaint letter dated August 27, 2009, to the Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) on the conduct of Mr Nchito of Messrs MNB and Partners said the DPP, Chalwe Mchenga was subjected to public embarrassment by the alleged illegality promoted by Mr Nchito.
Mr Nchito filed an appeal against Dr Chiluba’s judgement in which the latter was acquitted of six counts of theft by public servant involving about US$500,000 without consent from Mr Mchenga.
Dr Chiluba said actions such as those exhibited by Mr Nchito bring the profession into disrepute and ridicule, adding that it is unacceptable that lawyers should be at the forefront of breaking the law.
Dr Chiluba said in a letter signed for him by his spokesperson Emmanuel Mwamba that Mr Nchito is a long standing legal practitioner who is familiar with the law.
“Therefore, his conduct in this manner amounts to deliberately breaking the law by attempting to appeal against Dr Chiluba’s judgement without lawful instructions or directives.
“We believe that Mr Nchito also caused the publication of this appeal in the The Post of August 24, 2009 even before the so called appeal was lodged in court,” he said.
Dr Chiluba said the appeal has promoted constitutional breaches, adding that the action by Mr Nchito was further designed to blackmail the DPP to take no other position other than that promoted by him and former Task Force chairperson Max Nkole.
“We are reluctant to include Mr Nkole in our complaint as we are not aware of his status with LAZ. However, in the event that he is your member, this complaint of misconduct should extend to him,” he said.
Meanwhile, the Law Association of Zambia is wondering on what basis those attacking the judiciary over Mr Chiluba’s acquittal are basing their argument because copies of the judgement are not ready.[quote]
LAZ president Stephen Lungu said in an interview yesterday that the association has not commented because it has not seen copies of the judgement.
Dr Chiluba was acquitted on six counts of theft by public servant involving about US$500,000.
Mr Lungu said LAZ can only comment after obtaining a copy of the judgement.
“Our silence has basically been because we have not had sight of the judgement and once we do, we shall make an honest and impartial comment,” he said.
UPND CHOMA Member of Parliament George Chazangwe says he is impressed with the high levels of accountability by communities in the constituency in the utilization of constituency funds(CDF).
Speaking to ZANIS in Choma yesterday after concluding a tour of CDF funded projects, he said government funded allocated to various communities under the CDF had been properly accounted for and utilized.
He said all the beneficiary communities that utilized the funds for the intended purpose and expressed happiness at the level of commitment to development projects.
Mr Chazangwe said there is a lot of progress in infrastructure development particularly clinics and schools in rural areas.
He revealed that a health centre at Simakutu in Chief Singani’s area has reached roofing level and only require additional funds to be completed.
The MP said there had been no reports of abuse of public resources by committees entrusted with the implementation of the projects.
Among the wards visited by the MP to assess the impact of the CDF funded projects on the people include Stateland, Simamvwa, Siasikaboole, Namuswa and Simacheche.
Mr Chazangwe said various communities still need a lot of government assistance as they have embarked on self help projects to construct clinic and schools.
And Mr Chazangwe has commended the central government through the ministry of education for constructing a brand new school at Simwami in the remote and hilly area of chief Singani’s area.
Mr Chazangwe said government move to construct a 1 by 3 classroom block at Simwamwi is commendable.
He said children in the area which is remotely located had been using makeshift shelters as classrooms.
“I am happy to say that during my visit, I found the school completed. I am extremely happy,” he said. “I’m really thankful to government for taking development to remote areas of the district,” he said.
He said the new school would afford children a decent learning environment.

The Zambia Golf Union (ZGU) has yet again handed Ndola Golf Club the mandate to host the 2010 Zambia Open Golf Championship.
And this years Zambia Open has been won by South Africa Jbe Kruger who picked up his debut professional career title today at Ndola after winning by three shots to finish at 15-Under 204 at the end of three days of action.
ZGU president Joe Malanji said Ndola had shown they were capable of hosting the Zambia Open following their successful staging of this years troubled eventat short notice and raising the logistics within two months after the tournament was earlier postponed twice.
This is after Chainama and Lusaka Golf Clubs both pulled out due ot the economic downturn earlier this year.
Lusaka were initially scheduled to host the 2010 event and have not hosted the Zambia Open since 2003.
Nchanga (2006), Ndola (2007. 2009) and Chainama (2008) have all hosted the Zambia Open since 2005 after a two-year break due to legal problems at Lusaka from 2004 to 2005.
Former Defence Minister, George Mpombo has advised government to stop issuing what he termed as ”Reckless” statements on the acquittal of second President, Frederick Chiluba.
Speaking when he featured on Radio Mazabuka’s ” Live wire programme,” today, Mr Mpombo said the statements on the acquittal have potential of dividing the nation.
Mr Mpombo said there is need for government to handle Dr Chiluba’s acquittal in a manner that will be acceptable to the general citizenry and unite the country.
He warned that if not properly handled, the second Republican President’s acquittal could affected the economic and social development of the nation.
The former minister said statements issued by government leaders prior to the judgment of Chiluba’s case could have to a large extent influenced the out come of the case.
He also urged government to reconcile with the Roman Catholic Church saying attacks on the church are unacceptable and misplaced.
Mr Mpombo said government should pursue a consultative process and avoid antagonizing one particular church.
“An attack on the church is an attack to all catholics which is not healthy for the country,” he said.
But Chief government Spokesperson, Ronnie Shikapwasha dismissed claims by Mr Mpombo that government has been reckless on the statements on Dr Chiluba’s acquittal.
Mr Shikapwasha, who is also Information and broadcasting minister, said Zambia is a democracy which allows divergent views as evidenced by the debate on those against and in support of the Dr Chiluba’s acquittal.
He said the Judiciary operates independently adding that Zambians should accept and respect the acquittal of Second President.
The minister said what is surprising is that even Patriotic Front leader, Michael Sata is accusing government of having influenced the court decision to acquit Dr Chiluba when he, himself (Mr Sata) when he was acquitted by the same court no one accused him of having influenced the judgment.
” People should learn to accept the fact that the Judiciary in court is independent, We know that some people wanted to see the former President go to jail,” said Mr Shikapwasha.
On the attack to the Catholic church, Mr Shikapwasha maintained that the statement he issued in parliament still stands.
Vice President Goerge Kunda says the 2011 presidential elections will be held under a new republican constitution.
Mr. Kunda has appealed to the National Constitutional Conference (NCC) to expedite the constitution process so that the presidential elections are held in a peaceful, free and affair atmosphere.
The Vice President said this at Solwezi Airport on his arrival from Zambezi district where he had gone to officiate at this year’s Likumbi Lya-mize traditional ceremony for the Luvale speaking people.
He said that the NCC should not make unnecessary delays in coming up with a new constitution before the 2011 polls saying the exercise is costly on the part of government as it is draining the national coffers.
“I appeal to the NCC members and secretariat to conclude the deliberations of the NCC before 2011 when Zambia goes to the polls because this exercise is costly. As government we want to serve resources being spent in this constitution ( making ) process,” Mr. Kunda said.
And Mr. Kunda has appealed to the Zambian people not to be cheated by the formation of the UPND/PF Pact calling it a failure and destined to collapse.
The Veep said the people at the grass roots do not know and understand the pact. it and that the Pact does not exist.
He said the ruling MMD is not threatened by the UPND/PF pact even if the co-pact leaders are going around the country telling lies and always criticizing government’s good fiscal policies that are bearing fruit..
Mr. Kunda accused the Pact’s leadership of being selfish saying they cannot develop the country.
The Vice President advised UPND leader Hakainde Hichilema to start politics at grassroots opposed to being an opposition president.
He cited that he himself served at Mansa Municipal Council and rose in different government portfolios under his appointment as Second in Command, Veep.
The Vice President is in Solwezi to officiate at the 2009 North-western province MMD card renewal exercise.
He is accompanied by his wife, Florence, cabinet Ministers, Peter Daka, (Lands) Sara Sayifwanda (Gender), Michael Kaingu (Community Development and Social Services), Elijah Muchima (Information Deputy Minister), senior government official and MMD Deputy National Secretary Jeff Kaande, other senior MMD party officials.
Provincial Minister Joseph Mulyata, Commerce Deputy Minister Richard Taima, Agriculture Deputy Minister Daniel Kalenga, NWP Deputy PS Nkolola Hazemba, Defense chiefs, senior government officials, MMD party officials and patriotic Zambians were at hand to recieve the Mr Kunda.
President Rupiah Banda has said that government fired former Task Force on Corruption Chairman Max Nkole because he defied government advise over former president Chiluba’s acquittal.
President Banda said Mr. Nkole’s failure to heed advise from the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) Chalwe Mchenga following Dr. Chiluba’s acquittal amounted to indiscipline.
The President said this in Matsapha, Swaziland when he addressed the Zambian community living in that country.
He said Mr. Nkole went ahead to appeal against the former president Chiluba’s acquittal in Ndola High Court, ignoring advise from the DPP to allow his office study the judgment first before taking such a move.
Mr. Banda said the DPP had all the constitutional powers to prosecute all criminal cases without interference from anyone.
He said Mr. Nkole should have followed the advise from the DPP before appealing against the acquittal of Mr. Chiluba.
Mr. Banda disclosed that Mr. Nkole’s behaviour also made it difficult for him to renew his contract which expired in November last year.
Mr. Nkole’s contract as Task Force on Corruption ended on November 16, 2008.[quote]
“Mr. Nkole defied advise given to him by the DPP and decided to deal with the matter in his own way,” The President said.
Mr. Nkole’s appeal against the former president’s acquittal in the Ndola High Court has since been withdrawn by the DPP.
The president told Zambians community in Swaziland that the country was politically stable although it had faced some economic problems brought about by the global financial crisis.
Mr. Banda said he was happy that things did not become worse because there was fear of massive job losses due to closure of companies especially in the mining sector.
He said only one mine had problems and was put on care and maintenance but government has since sorted out the problem with over 1000 people who had lost their jobs re-employed.
President Banda hoped that the National Constitution Conference (NCC)would conclude its business soon and give the country a better constitution than the current one.
He said due to a strong appeal from Zambians in diapora, the NCC has agreed that Zambians should be allowed to have dual citizenship.
Mr. Banda said the current constitution did not allow Zambians to have dual citizenship but the NCC felt that the constitution should be changed to allow that.
The President said there were several reasons why Zambians seek citizenship from other countries.
He said if Zambians who sought citizenship from other countries still wanted to remain Zambians, they should not be denied that opportunity.
And the Association of Zambian Nationals in Swaziland (AZANAS) has appealed to government to speed up the processing of new passports for Zambians living abroad.
AZANAS President Dickson Mukunda said only few Zambians in living in Swaziland had so far acquired new passports.
Rev. Mukunda said the rest were still waiting for the passport one year after submitting the forms to the Zambian Mission in Mozambique.
The AZANAS president also appealed to the President Banda to extend the deadline for the renewal of passports.
President Banda said he would ensure that the Passport Office speed up the issuance of passports to Zambians living abroad.
Those who attended the meeting included Finance and National Planning Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane, Zambia’s Ambassador to Mozambique Agness Ngoma and government officials from both countries.

Second republican president Fredrick Chiluba and his wife Regina worshiping during thanks giving prayers in Lusaka at the weekend
Former President Frederick Chiluba has refuted media reports suggesting that he celebrated the death of his predecessor, Levy Mwanawasa.
He said some sections of the media misunderstood him when he observed that whenever there is a change of leadership the country’s environment also changes.
The former Head of State said this at a thanksgiving service dubbed ‘Thanksgiving Service for the Acquittal of the Former Republican President’ organised by the clergy from various Pentecostal churches in Lusaka yesterday.
He said no-one should rejoice over another person’s death because all human beings are destined to die at a certain time.
“I did not rejoice over the death of President Mwanawasa. I meant to say that change of leadership in the country changes the environment but I was misunderstood by our colleagues from the press. No one should celebrate the death of another human being because everyone will die,” Dr Chiluba said
And Dr Chiluba has described his acquittal by the Lusaka magistrates court as God’s act and that President Banda did not in any way influence the court’s decision to acquit him on six counts of corruption charges involving US$500,000.
“President Banda had nothing to do with this acquittal. This acquittal is purely by the grace of God nothing else,” Dr Chiluba said.
.
He reiterated that Zambians must continue to uphold his declaration of the country as a Christian nation when he was President.
Dr Chiluba said that now that he has been acquitted he will concentrate and spend more time preaching the word of God.
He said that the eight years he spent facing corruption charges in court have helped to bring him closer to God because he met a lot of people who spent time praying with him.[quote]
“I am a great friend of all the Christian denominations in the country. The past eight years has brought me closer to God. Had it not been for the false accusations, I would not have been closer to God,” he said.
He thanked his wife Regina for having endured the times he had been sick and going to court.
Dr Chiluba has also hailed his spokesperson Emmanuel Mwamba, Dr Justine Kangwa, lawyers John Sangwa and Robert Simeza and all support staff for not deserting him when he faced the corruption charges.
Liberty Christian Centre bishop, Eddie Mulenga, said the declaration of Zambia as a Christian nation has been further strengthened by Dr Chiluba’s acquittal.
Bishop Mulenga said Dr Chiluba’s acquittal is an indication that God has delivered the former Head of State because of his honest leadership when he was Republican President.
He commended the media in the country for their consistency in informing the nation about Dr Chiluba’s court proceedings.
Dunamis Church apostle, Dan Pule, said Dr Chiluba’s acquittal is a victory for all Christians.
The second part of Migration and Christian Living article was to share the principles that have been helpful in maintaining fervency in our faith, but after the responses to part one, it is necessary to address some concerns. The question that arises concerning our faith and attending Church while away from Zambia is; Is it necessary?
Attending Church is not the ultimate goal for our lives and Church can be a waste of time if we don’t do first things first. Most of the Zambians that we know have attended Church since they were young. Church has been a part of the Zambian life for decades and as a result it has become a tradition that most of us do without thinking about why we do it. For most, if asked why go to Church? Answer: “we have always gone to Church.” or Why not? Others say Christianity is a “white man’s religion.”
Many Africans who have migrated to developed countries have been disappointed with Church. Even though there are genuine churches, some are like businesses. Not many nationals are interested in attending and somehow feel disappointed that the people who introduced us to it are not interested today. They feel cheated.
Firstly, lets look at the statement that some of us used to believe and confessed often; ‘Christianity is a white man’s religion.’ Wait a minute, Christianity has its roots in the Jewish nation and as far as we know, Jews are not white, so this notion is incorrect. The white man brought it to Africa, some in obedience to what the Lord Jesus told His Jewish followers in Matthew 28: 18-20 and others as a tool to accomplish selfish motives. We shouldn’t throw the genuine because we encountered the fake. The fact that the white people introduced Christianity to us and now on the average are not interested in it does not make it wrong. It is like a lot of Zambians who were introduced to traveling to places like Dubai, Hong Kong, etc for business, some of the ones who started it no longer go for some reason or another, but for some who were introduced to it, it has worked out to be profitable and still travel. The thing is not about the one who introduced it but is it real to you?
Why attend Church?’ Hebrews 10:25 encourages us ‘not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together … ’ The main reason is for fellowship and teaching. Church life must begin with having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Revelation 3:20, Ephesians 3:17-19) and that’s what will make us guard our faith jealously and Church will be meaningful.
