Zambia Monday Update

Zambia’s Cosafa Castle Cup semifinal build-up continued in disarray today after all three Angolan based call-ups were ruled out of Saturdays game against Mozambique after their respective clubs refused to release them.

“The players from Angola are not coming because their clubs crucial league games with three matches remaining to play there while Zesco have refused to release their three players,” Zambia team manager Solly Pandor said Monday afternoon.

Midfielder Ian Bakala of Clube Desportivo 1º de Agosto, striker Adubelo Phiri from Deportivo de Villa and Petro Athletico midfielder Felix Katongo have all been ruled out.

In their place, Zambia stand-in coach Fighton Simukonda has called-up five players that will also see a rare drafting into the squad of Malaysian-based striker Philemon Chipeta who returns to the fold after almost four years in the wilderness and who is currently in the country on holiday.

The other players called up are Zambia Under-20 and Lusaka Dynamos playmaker William Njovu plus the Under-23 trio of Clive Sichondwe (Kabwe Warriors), Francis Kasonde (Power Dynamos) and Felix Sunzu (Konkola Blades).

The changes have been necessitated after clubs at home and abroad continued to flex their muscle over releasing players forcing Simukonda to seek alternative players for the game against Mozambique.

This will mean seven players originally called-up for the Cosafa Castle Cup semifinal match will miss this weekends semifinal game.

Zesco United on Sunday made an unprecedented stance by refusing to release their three Zambia players whom they will feature in Sundays Coca Cola Cup final against Nkanato be played at Nkoloma stadium in Lusaka.

The affected Zesco players are midfielder Rainford Kalaba, striker Enoch Sakala and defender Willy Chinyama.

Striker Songwe Chalwe of South African Premier Soccer League team Moroka Swallows has also been ruled out because of a Telkom Cup commitment this Saturday.

All clubs are not obliged to release any of their players for this weekends Cosafa Castle Cup semifinal match.

This is because the semifinal game will not be played on a FIFA international match date.

Simukonda meanwhile is sweating on the availability of another four South African based professionals whom have indicated they will only join the team at least 48 hours before the game.

Billy Mwanza, Joseph Musonda, Kennedy Mweene and Kampamba Chintu will all be involved in Telkom Cup outings for their respective teams in the run-up to Saturday’s game.

Zambia enter into camp on Wednesday in Lusaka and are scheduled to depart for South Africa on Thursday at 07:55 hrs.

2007 BP Top 8 Cup Quarterfinal Round-up

Defending BP Top 8 champions Zanaco, 2005 winners Kabwe Warriors including Konkola Blades and relegation-troubled Nakambala Leopards all booked their places into the semifinals of this years tournament after winning their respective quarterfinal matches played on Saturday.

Zanaco made to through after beating Zesco United 5-3 on post-match penalties when their quarterfinal match finished 1-1 at full-time that was played at the Trade Fair Grounds in Ndola.

The match was one of three quarterfinal matches that was decided via spot-kicks during the opening round of this years BP Top 8 that saw only three goals scored in all four matches in relegation time.

Zanaco took a 4th minute lead through striker Winston Kalengo who set the defending champions on the road in this match at the Trade Fair.

Zesco defender Rogers Kamwandi leveled four minutes before the break on their way to the penalty shot-out that denied the home side their third successive BP Top 8 Cup semifinal appearance.

2005 champions Warriors had no such problems after they beat Power Dynamos 1-0 in Kabwe.

Zambia Under-23 defender Bronson Chama’s 50th minute goal from a free-kick was the difference between these two teams to see Warriors the only team to reach the semifinals within the distance.

Nakambala, who booked their BP Top 8 place after finishing 8th on the top-flight log last season, will be making their debut semifinal appearance after beating Green Buffaloes in their quarterfinal match-up at their infamous square pitch in Mazabuka.

The relegation-troubled team booked their BP Top 8 semifinal place thanks to a 5-3 on post-match penalty win over the army side following a scoreless draw at full-time.

Blades did not suffer the same “giant-killing” fate that befell Buffaloes when they dispatched of troubled Forest Rangers 4–2 on spot-kicks… again after another scoreless result at the end of the 90 minutes.

In the semifinals, Zanaco take on Warriors at Nchanga in Chingola while Blades and Nakambala face-off at Nkoloma in Lusaka on October 20.

Vision 2030 sensitsation takes off in Sinazongwe

The Ministry of Finance and National planning has started disseminating the vision 2030  and enlightening government heads of departments, civil society, and the traditional leaders in Southern Province.

Presenting the books at a two days workshop in Sinazongwe, team leader of the
delegation Patrick Choolwe, said government has set up the vision 2030 to promote
economic growth in the sectors.

Mr. Choolwe said the vision 2030 would help the country to reduce the high poverty
levels, improve  production of goods and services,  improve Science and technology,
and  add value to the raw materials being produced.

He disclosed that once the decentralisation policy was put in place, districts would
have the authority to budget on their own, unlike the current situation where
planning was being done at the ministerial level without involving the districts.

Southern Province Local Government Officer, Alfred Chingi, said the vision 2030
would enable the government to plan, evaluate, and assess the failures of some
projects.

Mr Chingi said the vision 2030 would give people the right to set their own targets
in implementing developmental activities.

He said the vision 2030 would be inclusive to ensure that the civil society and
traditional leaders align themselves to developments on the ground.

Chief Sinazongwe expressed disappointment that money allocated to the district for
developmental activities ends up at the ministry headquarters.

He said government was not serious because it was failing to monitor the ministries
and the districts once money for developmental projects was assigned.

“The only way to reduce inefficiency was government to bring decentralisation
policy, and since you are involving us in your plans, let us also know the amount of
money you are bringing to the district for development,” the chief said.

Sinazongwe District Commissioner, Laiven Apuleni, said the government was determined to ensure that the vision 2030 was achieved.

“We must determine our own destiny and we are capable of prospering because as a
nation we have given ourselves a plan to achieve by 2030,” Mr Apuleni said.

Politicians must not lead the constitution making process – Sikazwe

Some Non – Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have maintained their stance to boycott the National Constitution Conference (NCC) citing among other reasons their mistrust of Parliament in enacting the constitution.

The Non Governmental Organisation Coordinating Conference (NGOCC)   Representative Emily Sikazwe stated that past experience has shown that Parliament   has jurisdiction to alter what people have proposed.

Speaking on Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) National Watch
programme monitored by ZANIS, Ms. Sikazwe stressed that through various laws that
Members of  Parliament (MPP) have enacted against the will of the people have
indicated of  what the MPs are capable of doing.

She stressed that the women movement would only participate if government aggress to take on board the social economical rights as reflected in the  Mun’gomba Constitution  Review Commission (CRC).

Ms. Sikazwe stated  by government refusing to consider the economic social aspects,
it was  neglecting  the core values of the poor children and women whose
organisation  represents.

Transparency International Zambia (ITZ) President Reuben Lifuka stated that  NGOs
were not comfortable  with the composition of the NCC , which he said  was dominated
by Political parties.

He also expressed surprise that government has now agreed to piece meal amendments
of the constitution which it had refused to undertake before the 2006 tripartite
elections.

But Independent Churches of Zambia (ICOZ) Rev. David Masupa appealed to the  civil
society not to pull out saying they are safe guards measures which have  been put in
place to ensure that  the process is conducted professionally.

Finance and National planning minister ruled out fears that government would not
take on board the social economic aspect.

He  pointed out that  part six of the draft constitution deals with bill of  rights
which would be among components to be discussed by the NCC.

He however said it would not be right for people not to have confidence in
parliament because the house was mandated to enact laws.

Lusaka Laywer Chifumu Banda said all participates will be given chance to discuss
the whole report and the Mun’gomba Draft Constitution.

Oasis Forum to maintain its distance from the NCC

The Oasis Forum says its decision to divorce itself from the National Constitution Conference (NCC) is strictly based on the fact that many contention issues in the NCC Act have remained unresolved.

Oasis Forum convener Father Joe Komakoma said at a press briefing in Lusaka today
that among the areas of concern is the composition of the NCC which is not
equitable.

Fr Komakoma  explained that this is so because out of a possible 502 members of the
National Constitution Conference, 279 are politicians, made up of 158 MPs, 48
representatives of political parties and 73  councilors. Only 15 percent of the
composition are from the civil society.

Fr Komakoma, who is also Zambia Episcopal Conference (ZEC) Secretary General,
further pointed out that the Act in its present state does not involve the
participation of the people at the level of adoption of the constitution.

He said the NCC Act, which establishes the NCC, clearly indicates a fundamental
departure from the people’s demands for a new constitution.

Fr Komakoma said the NCC is established not to adopt a new constitution but to alter
the current constitution.

“The Mungomba CRC had listened to the people and recommended repealing and replacing the current constitution which everyone including President  Mwanawasa considered as deeply flawed, oppressive and suffocating,” he said.

He said the NCC Act in Article 4 takes away from the people the chance to  be in
charge of the country’s constitutional destiny adding that the Act  provides for a
composition that now reflects a politician driven constitution over the constitution
making process.

Fr. Komakoma stressed that the popular mode of adoption, decided upon by the people,
should not be dominated by one particular category to ensure that the  draft
constitution to be decided upon will be a product of consensus.

He said agreeing to participate in the NCC would mean endorsing and  legitimizing a
process that has clearly departed from the poeple’s wishes to  repeal and replace
the current constitution.

And Fr. Komakoma explained that the Oasis Forum is not in alliance with second
republican president Dr. Frederick Chiluba.

He said contrary to media reports, during the Oasis Forum conference held on  13th
September this year, an invitation was sent to Dr. Chiluba and the first  republican
president Dr. Kenneth Kaunda in their capacities as former heads  of state and not
as individuals.

He said public meetings convened by the Forum have always been open and that
invitations are extended to all stakeholders regardless of political or religious
affiliations.

Kapoche Member of Parliament says people in his constituency are in urgent need of relief food.

Professor Fashion Phiri says though there was a marked increase in the amount of
maize sold to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA), most of it came from Mozambique.

He said people in the constituency had little or no maize to sell to FRA  and are in
need of relief food.

Professor Phiri who is also foreign affairs deputy minister revealed this at a
consultative meeting with civic leaders in the area held at Petauke council chamber
today.

The Kapoche Mp  said the  Provincial Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit was
misinformed about the hunger situation in his constituency.

Professor Phiri assured the councillors in Kapoche that he was going to look into
the hunger situation soon.

A non governmental organisation in Chipata in Eastern Province has drilled 19 boreholes at a total cost of K437 million in chiefs Mishoto’s and Chikuwe’s areas.

Community Oriented Development (CODEP) Programme project manager Joseph Mwale disclosed this to ZANIS in Chipata yesterday.

Mr Mwale said the sinking of the boreholes was in response to the outcry of the
people in the two chiefdoms.

The project manager said his organisation realised that if people, especially women,
were to draw water from nearby boreholes, they would have enough time to work in
their fields and other household chores.

He added that local communities would work closely with District Water, Sanitation
and Health Education(D-WASHE) at Chipata Municipal Council in order to maintain the
water points.

And commissioning the boreholes, Chipata District Administrative Officer John Soko
praised CODEP for the gesture.

Mr Soko urged the community to guard the boreholes jealously.

He also challenged the villagers to keep their surroundings clean in line with the
Keep Zambia Clean and Healthy campaign.

“Clean water alone will not stop you from getting sick but the surroundings should
also be clean so that mosquitoes do not breed and cause malaria,” he said.

And head woman Mnkhambwa commended CODEP for responding positively to their plight.

Headwoman revealed that CODEP also assisted some households in her village with
fertiliser, maize and groundnuts seeds last farming season.

She added that CODEP also gave out chickens to widows to assist them sustain their
livelihood.

Jatropha is the answer to the country’s fuel needs, says expert

Zambia needs about 200,000 hectares of land for jatropha cultivation so as to sustain the country’s fuel needs per annum.

Biofuels Association of Zambia chairman of Finances Andrew Chitembo said 
this in Solwezi.

This was at a workshop organized by Netherlands Development Organization (SNV)
under the theme ‘Opportunitis for Improving Small Holder Production Incomes and
Employment’ held at Floriana Executive Lodge in Solwezi yesterday.

Mr Chitembo said Zambia currently spends about 500 million United States dollars per
year on petroleum imports from overseas.

The country consumes365 million litres of diesel, 164 million litres of  petrol and 18 million litres of kerosene per year.

He said this could be mitigated significantly by a shift  to jatropha as a viable
supplement to the nation’s fuel needs.

And speaking at the same function, chief Mumena of the Kaonde people of Solwezi
called on Biofuels Association of Zambia to sensitise the Zambian public on the
viability of jatropha so that they can start cultivating it.

Nurses under fire in mazabuka for delaying to attend to patients

Magoye member of parliament Bennie Mweemba has castigated nurses at Mazabuka district hospital for failing to attend to patients on time.

Mr Mweemba who stormed the Male ward at the hospital yesterday, said he would not be surprised to  hear that a nurse has been beaten because of their negative attitude
towards patients.

He claimed that the victim of the crocodile attack who died in the hospital
yesterday, died without being put on medication since Wednesday except for a drip.

Mr Mweemba said he will not condone such behaviour because it is putting lives of
patients in danger.

The Mp has since urged the hospital administration to jack up standards before
residents vent their anger on medical staff.

But hospital administrator John Zimba denied claims by the Mp that the crocodile
victim died without being given any medication.

Mr Zimba also advised the area Mp desist from accusing the nursing staff of
negligence for refusing him to visit the crocodile victims in the presence of Zambia
Wildlife Authority Workers.

He said nurses have specific instructions not to allow visitors in the wards without
express permission from the administration.

Mr Zimba said Mr Mweemba allegedly intimidated the nurses after they refused him
entry in the male ward were duo were admitted before one of them died.

PF refuses to sit on NCC

Opposition Patriotic Front (PF) has refused to nominate representatives to sit on the National Constitutional Conference, NCC.

PF Secretary General Edward Mumbi says  his party cannot nominate representatives to serve on the NCC because of what he termes ‘unresolved’ issues in the constitution
making process.

Mr Mumbi says PF will only participate in the process once issues raised by
stakeholders were addressed.

This is contained in a letter written to Secretary to the Cabinet Dr Joshua Kanganja
who had earlier written to the party to nominate six members to sit on the NCC in
line with the provisions of the NCC Act.

The letter was availed to ZANIS in Lusaka today.

But MMD chairman for information and publicity Benny Tetamahimba described as
unfortunate the decision by PF to boycott the NCC.

Mr Tetamashimba said all stakeholders should seize the opportunity and participate
in the NCC as it offers the best mode for moving the constitution making process
forward.

He said instead of boycotting the NCC, stakeholders should commend President
Mwanawasa for his good leadership in coming up with a people driven constitution.

He said it is the first time in the country’s political history that Zambians are
being called upon to debate recommendations of a constitution review commission
which had been a preserve of previous governments.

Mr Tetamashimba who is also works and supply deputy minister commended Lusaka lawyer John Sangwa for his constructive views on the ongoing constitution making process.

He dismissed suggestions from some stakeholders that the republican president should
not have power to dissolve the NCC.

Mr Tetamashimba wondered how the president cannot dissolve the NCC when he has power to dissolve parliament which comprises elected representatives of the people.

He urged stakeholders to read the NCC Act to avoid raising unnecessary and
unsubstantiated claims.

Mr Tetamashimba said it is clear that people deciding to boycot the NCC have not
read the Act thoroughly.

Meanwhile Simukonda also expressed concern over the availability of Angolan-based players Ian Bakala, Adubelo Phiri and Felix Katongo as to whether they would make it for the match in Pretoria.

“We are trying to get in touch with them but we have put two players on standby just in case we fail to secure the release of the players from Angola,” said Simukonda.
