LESSONS LEARNT WE are not surprised at yet another revelation of the economic sins committed by mining companies against a gullible host nation – Zambia.

This, it appears has been going on throughout the years and successive governments have been cheated out of what rightfully belonged to them in form of taxes.

But this won’t be the case anymore.

Government has taken action, showing its determination to stop the drain by imposing tougher testing measures to stem the submission of low-grade samples to undervalue mineral exports and consequently, loss of revenue by the government through mineral royalty tax payment.

From July 1, officers from the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Development will be going to the mine sites and traders’ warehouses to collect the required samples instead of relying on samples submitted by exporters.

Mines and Minerals Development Permanent Secretary Barnaby Mulenga on Wednesday disclosed how the country was losing millions of Kwacha in revenue through cheating by mining companies that submit low grade assay, instead of the high quality minerals they export.

The false samples are submitted to the chemistry laboratory of the Geological Survey Department when they apply for export permits.

The practice in place is that every client who applied for a mineral export permit submits a sample of the export consignment to the Geological Survey.

A Mineral Valuation Certificate of the entire mineral export consignment was prepared based on the laboratory results.

According to Mr Mulenga, it was on the strength of the valuation certificate that the ministry issued a mineral export permit to the applicant.

This is done after the applicant had obtained a mineral royalty clearance certificate from the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA).

“Unfortunately, this practice has opened a window of opportunity for some mineral exporters to deliberately submit lowgrade samples to the chemistry laboratory and this has resulted in undervaluing of mineral exports and consequently, loss of revenue earned by the government through mineral royalty tax payment.”

This clearly is treacherous and proves that most mining companies operating here have short-changed Zambians by cheating in their operations.

“The loss of revenue could amount to hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars per export, depending on the discrepancy in mineral grade between the sample and the consignment being exported,” said Mr Mulenga.

He said to facilitate the smooth transition from the current scenario to the new one, all exporters should ensure that their applications for export permits were received by the ministry at least a week before the officers’ sampling visit to each region.

Mr Mulenga said the applications should state clearly where the export consignments to be sampled would be located, with the applicants’ physical address and other contact details.

Had the mining firms been good corporate citizens, such measures would not have been taken.

But then, it just confirms what people have always suspected, but never had evidence, that the mining firms were milking the country dry – claiming that they were not making profits, thereby resisting taxation left, right and centre.

Their treachery also came out in the open when the Supreme Court charged Mopani Copper Mines US$13 million after it established that the firm colluded with its parent company Glencore International AG (GIAG) to undervalue the price of copper.

Simply put, Mopani was selling copper to GIAG International at a lower price which in turn sold the same product to Glencore who were then able to sell it at a higher price, sharing the profits.

Worth noting were the court’s observations about the dilemma facing Third World countries in their dealings with international firms: “The dispute in this appeal is archetypical of the problem posed to the fiscus of many developing economies by multinational corporations engaged in the extractive industry. It also in a way highlights the inadequacy of institutional capacity to deal effectively with such corporations; exposes yearning gaps in the much needed expertise to gather and interpret essential technical information for enhanced tax revenue collection from multinational corporations.”

They pretend to be honest brokers when they are just conmen.

Zambia has surely learnt a hard lesson, to always be on top of things, above all, trust no multi-national.

HH CANED FOR CARELESS TALK

By PETER SICHALI

I

T is unpatriotic and irresponsible for UPND Hakainde Hichilema to lie that there is tension in Zambia because the government allegedly favoured the Chinese, PF Muchinga Province chairperson Alex Simuwelu has said.

Mr Simuwelu said claims by Mr Hichilema that there tension in are unfounded.

Mr Simuwelu said it was irresponsible for Mr Hichilema to suggest that there was tension because Zambia government favours the Chinese are meant to cause discontent in the country.

He said the statement was meant to erode investor confidence for his political mileage.

Mr Simuwelu said Mr Hichilema has continued to

demonstrate unpatriotism by speaking ill against Zambia to the outside world.

Mr Hichilema on Wednesday featured on SABC news where he said there was tension in Zambia because the government favoured Chinese over Zambians.

Mr Simuwelu said statements by Mr Hichilema show unpatriotism and had potential to cause discontent among citizens and may cause them to rise against the foreigners.

"We are disappointed that Mr Hichilema always wants to speak bad things about Zambia to the outside world all for his political expediency," Mr Simuwelu said.

He said Mr Hichilema's assertion that there was tension in Zambia had potential to scare investors.

"Mr Hichilema should for

once demonstrate patriotism because we cannot have a person vying for the presidency but always tarnishing the image of the country whenever he gets an opportunity to speak to the outside world," Mr Simuwelu said.

UPND fights deregistration petition

By CHINTU MALAMBO THE UPND says the Constitutional Court has no jurisdiction to hear the petition where a magistrate wants the court to direct the Registrar of Societies to deregister all political parties that have not held party elections since 2016.

UPND through its Secretary General Steven Katuka, as an interested party has asked the court to dismiss the petition for want of jurisdiction, because it does not disclose any violation of the constitution.

This is in a matter where Livingstone Magistrate Benjamin Mwelwa has petitioned the Constitutional

Court asking it to deregister political parties that have not held party elections since 2016, as required by the amended constitution.

Mr Mwelwa is seeking a declaration that any political party which was registered and in existence as of January 5, 2016 and which has not promoted and practised democracy through regular, free and fair elections, within its political party, has breached article 60(2)(d) of the Constitution of Zambia (Amendment) Act no.

BILL 10 published in Govt Gazette to stop misinformation

By OLIVER SAMBOKO THE Constitution Amendment Bill number 10 has been published through a government gazette number 12 of June 12, 2020, aimed at stopping peddling of misinformation by those opposed to the Bill.

Addressing the media in Lusaka yesterday, when he presented the gazetted version of the Bill 10, Justice Minister, Given Lubinda also urged the public to read the Bill to give themselves comfort and assurance.

He reaffirmed Government’s commitment of ensuring trust and consensus building in the legislative process.

Mr. Lubinda said Bill 10 has been the most inclusive and comprehensive Constitutional refinement process in the country’s political history

adding that therefore calls by some sections of society to have the bill withdrawn were unwarranted.

Mr Lubinda said Government was shocked at the renewed scepticism on Bill 10 despite having given confidence to everyone that the Parliamentary Select Committee recommendations would be incorporated in the new constitution.

He urged all members of Parliament from both opposition and the ruling party not to deny their electorates and Zambians in general an opportunity to have a constitution that is going to last the test of time. Mr. Lubinda wondered whether those calling for the withdrawal of Bill 10 are concerned about issues which were raised when they pushed for the refinement of the Constitution.

Zambia, Namibia to partner in goat export deal

Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) as the respondents in the matter.

Earlier, the Constitutional Court joined the UPND Secretary-General as an interested party to a matter, stating that the party has sufficient interest for joinder.

Meanwhile, the Patriotic Front has also asked to be joined as an interested part.

But in an affidavit to struck out petition and dismiss the matter, Mr Katuka said Mr Mwelwa’s petition does not meet the requirements for matter that should be brought before the Constitutional Court. The application to have this matter dismissed will be heard on June 15 this year.

By SILUMESI MALUMO WE shall partner with Namibia to mobilise required goats to export to Saudi Arabia because the country will not manage to provide one million animals every month, Livestock and Fisheries Minister Nkandu Luo has said.

Professor Luo said the deal to start exporting the goats to Saudi Arabia would be finalised soon as Zambia and Namibia would ensure that the required goats were mobilised for export.

Prof Luo, who is also Munali Constituency Member of Parliament, said Government decided to partner with Namibia because of inadequate goats to meet the Saudi Arabia monthly demand.

PF suspends Luanshya district chairman

THE Patriotic Front has suspended Luanshya district chairman, Golden Mulenga, who is also Luanshya deputy mayor for premature campaigns.

The suspension was announced by Secretary General Davis Mwila after a closed door meeting with provincial and district officials, including Luanshya member of Parliament, Steven Chungu.

The suspended official has been accused of premature campaigns in the area. According to party insiders, Mr Mulenga did not show remorse after being questioned by the SG if he truly was campaigning to stand as MP in the constituency as other members had reported. SEE P.5

‘Regulate FISP beneficiaries on maize sales’

By PETER SICHALI GOVERNMENT should come up with a policy to bar beneficiaries of the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) from selling maize to briefcase buyers, Chief Chikwanda of Mpika has said.

Chief Chikwanda said it was not right for FISP beneficiaries to continue selling maize to briefcase buyers, including those from neighbouring countries, at the expense of the country's food security.

"Government through FRA has a huge target of buying one million tonnes of maize this crop marketing season and it will be very

difficult to meet that target because most of the produce could have been bought by these unscrupulous buyers," Chief Chikwanda said.

He said Government had been spending huge sums of money to provide subsidised inputs to farmers to boost the country's food security.

"While FRA is still waiting for the moisture content to drop these unscrupulous buyers started selling maize even before harvest and it will be difficult for FRA to meet the one million tonnes target for this year’s marketing season," Chief Chikwanda said.

He said the trend by smallscale farmers to sell their produce to briefcase buyers was a threat to national food security therefore government should come up with a deliberate policy to curb the trend. Chief Chikwanda said Government should ensure that FISP beneficiaries that sell maize to unscrupulous buyers were removed from the FISP initiative.

Donations Scandal LAZ BEING MISCHEVIOUS - KABWE … NGOs pocket colossal sums from inflated prices

By SILUMESI MALUMO

SOME companies that donated various items to Government towards the Covid-19 fight have inflated prices for selected commodities for their own benefit.

A lot of money purported to have been given to Government for the Covid-19 fight has not been honoured.

Change Life Zambia president, Joseph Kasongo said he carried out a check on the recently advertised Covid-19 donations that revealed a myriad of scandalous pricing of items with some prices being tripled by donors for their own benefit.

He said the list of donations for most NGOs showed distortions as the quantities of some items did not tally with prices obtaining on the market.

Mr Kasongo said he observed that mere face masks that cost K5 were being pegged at more than K35.

He pointed out that some pairs of gloves were listed to have cost millions of Kwacha, indicating each pair cost K80 when examination or surgical gloves cost between K2 and

K3.

“This is a scandal because these people are stealing from their funders.

There is no way a face mask can cost K35 when these should actually be cheaper when bought in bulk,” said Mr Kasongo.

Mr Kasongo also observed that the list was showing different prices for the same items for different organisations and that the differences in the costs were unbelievable.

He said some donors wanted to show that they were spending much more on the items when the prices of the same items were cheap.

“Some organisations indicated that they had spent about K95 on a single surgical mask while others bought them at K14. Why such a huge difference for the same product?” he questioned.

And Mr Kasongo called on authorities to probe all material donations towards the Covid-19 fight to ensure they reflect the true market value.

He claimed the main aim of some organisations that were donating to Government was to defraud their members and funding agencies.

measures does not amount to suppression of right to assemble and freedom of expression,” Mr Kabwe said. Mr Kabwe said it was not right to exacerbate confusion and despondence in the country by inciting youths to protest all in the name of freedom of expression. He said it was the responsibility of government to ensure that right to life and other human rights are upheld and that issues raised for the planned protest cannot over take the right to life.

Mr Kabwe said measures put in place to prevent further spread of Covid-19 should not be mistaken for suppression of human rights.

He said it was important that citizens enjoy their rights and freedoms within the confines of the measures put in place to safeguard right to life.

And Mr Kabwe said it was unfortunate that LAZ has opted to take a partisan stance on issues of national interest.

By PETER SICHALI

IT is a serious misconception and mischievous for LAZ to suggest that Zambia has reached a dangerous stage because government could not allow demonstrations amidst Covid-19 preventive measures, Lusaka lawyer Hobday Kabwe has said.

Mr Kabwe said Zambia like other countries was grappling with the Coronavirus pandemic and enforcing measures by not allowing demonstrations to go ahead. It does not amount to suppression of freedom of expression or assembly.

Mr Kabwe said the right to life cannot be overtaken by freedom of expression.

He said it is not correct for LAZ to suggest that freedom of expression and assembly is the preserve of those aligned to the ruling party.

“Government has put in place measures to ensure that right to life is prioritised and enforcing those

NGOCC hails Lungu over women appointments

By OLIVER SAMBOKO THE women movement in the country has commended President Lungu’s Government for appointing more women to decision making positions which has allowed them to contribute to the development agenda of the country.

Commenting on the appointment of more women to the Board for the National Institute for Scientific and Industrial Research (NISIR), Ngocc board chairperson Mary Mulenga

said her organization was happy that a number efforts were being done in pursuit of promoting more women to take up leadership spaces in various public institutions.

Ms Mulenga said it has always been NGOCC desire and call to see all organizations and institutions prioritizing gender mainstreaming and the equal participation of women at all levels to ensure that both women and men have equal rights and play a key role in shaping decisions and development outcomes of the country.

Inciting people is GBM ticks off ‘political nonentity’ Lukuku anarchy - Kopulande

By SILUMESI MALUMO

By SILUMESI MALUMO IT is a recipe for anarchy inciting people to rise against the legitimate Government, Cheembe Member of Parliament Sebastian Kopulande has said.

Mr Kopulande said the opposition calling for the people to rise against government must know that it would put the country on fire. He said in an interview yesterday, rising against a democratically elected government was not necessary because people can use the right procedures to dialogue.

He said the so-called increased cases of corruption being alleged by the opposition can be reported to the relevant authorities.

Mr Kopulande said all along people used relevant authorities to report such matters, stating that why should the opposition start encouraging people to Mr Kopulande engage in illegal activities.

He said such activities can even risk the lives of many people resulting in deaths.

“Those talking about corruption if they really know people who are corrupt why can’t they report them so that action can be taken. Why should someone start encouraging someone’s child to engage in protests which can endanger their lives.

“The opposition must be reasonable enough and ensure that they do something which can better the country than encouraging violence,” Mr Kopulande said.

He advised youths especially, not to listen to the people who want them to risk their lives but instead engage in issues that can change their wellbeing.

JAMES Lukuku is a political nonentity who is being used by the UPND to dent people’s images and such politicians must not be taken seriously, Patriotic Front vice chairperson for mobilisation Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba has said.

Mr Mwamba was reacting to claims by Republican Progressive Party leader Mr

Lukuku that he and Kasama Central Member of Parliament Kelvin Sampa were risking peace in Northern Province just to appease President Edgar Lungu.

Mr Lukuku said Mr Mwamba and Mr Sampa were the “Banyamulenge” a group of ruthless people who want to cause confusion in the province by stopping the UPND to hold any meetings.

But Mr Mwamba said the

opposition leader should know that he was not being used and such talk could land him in serious problems.

He said that Mr Lukuku cannot accuse innocent people to please his pay masters.

Mr Mwamba, a former UPND vice president for administration, said at no time did he attempt to stop meetings held by the UPND in the province.

200 Ndola Lime workers’ jobs on the line?

By OLIVER SAMBOKO OVER 200 workers at ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc owned Ndola Lime are expected to be retrenched on July, 31st 2020, according to a memo reportedly issued to all employees.

According to an internal memorandum signed by the interim business rescue administrator, Stephen Bwalya, employees will receive letters of retrenchment together with computations of amounts due to each of them before being laid off.

Ministry of Labour and Social Security permanent secretary Chanda Kaziya said his office was not aware if company management has already applied or communicated their decision to Labour commission as prescribed by the Labour Act.

Listen to people’s voices on Bill 10, Chief Kaputa prods MPs ALL Members of Parliament should stand firm and perform their civic duties diligently by allowing Bill 10 to be tabled for the second reading during the forthcoming parliamentary session, says Chief Kaputa, chairperson of the House of Chiefs Chief Kaputa has also appealed to MPs to debate the Bill so that they can bring out the merits and demerits of the contents as read together with the select committee report which has recommendations from the people.

The traditional leader said this at a press briefing held at the House of Chiefs in Lusaka yesterday.

Chief Kaputa indicated that it is regrettable that the country has witnessed lack of debate on Bill 10 when the matter was tabled on the floor of parliament.

“We are also aware that some Members of Parliament have deliberately

not explained well the contents of Bill 10 to the citizenry in their constituencies thereby, leaving room for misinformation and speculation. We are aware that there has been a lot of effort to decampaign Bill 10, further misleading some unsuspecting citizens,” he said.

Chief Kaputa noted that the amended constitution of 2016 has some lacunas that have negatively affected the country’s social development and governance system.

He observed that there are a lot of problems affecting the office of chieftaincy, hindering chiefdom governance and puts it at risk of going into extinction.

“In this regard we were optimistic and had hoped that when the government introduced the constitution amendment bill number 10 of 2019 that was seeking among other things to remove the lacuna in the amended constitution of 2016, it

would be supported overwhelmingly,” the chief said.

“It is incumbent upon the elected Members of Parliament to convincingly debate matters on the floor of the House.

We believe that it is the most civilised way of dealing with governance matters and giving an opportunity to the citizenry to be enlightened about the intended benefits of the contents of Bill 10 to the governance of this country,” Chief Kaputa said.

He also urged MPs to take interest in the general citizenry first as opposed to party or individual interests.

Chief Kaputa said Zambia’s history has clear evidence that the Royal highnesses and other stakeholders have stood with the people on matters of national interest and therefore have a duty to voice out on such important matters.

Take Bill 10 concerns to MPs, Bishops urged

By OLIVER SAMBOKO

THOSE not happy with some provisions in Bill 10 should communicate their concerns to their Members of Parliament so that their issues can be brought to the floor of the house, Eastern Province Minister Makebi Zulu has said.

Mr Zulu said while the bishops and any other Zambian has the right to freedom of expression, parliament also has a duty to pass laws in the country.

He was reacting to a statement by the Catholic bishops that the bill should be withdrawn from parliament, Mr Zulu wondered why the bishops want the bill to be withdrawn when the process has reached an advanced stage and that what was remaining now was the actual enactment in parliament.

“The process has achieved enough progress and what is remaining now is the actual enactment of the bill and what should be known is that Parliament cannot be stopped by anyone,” he said.

He said the bishops belong to constituencies and if at all they have anything to say about some provisions in Bill 10 at this stage, they should communicate concerns to their respective Member of Parliament who will then carry the same to the floor of the house for debate.

“It’s their right to express their views but overall you can’t segment one grouping of people and say they constitute the whole people of Zambia, what about others who want the bill to pass, are they not citizens of this country?,” he said.

And the government has published the Constitution Amendment Bill number 10 of 2019 in Gazette number 12 of June 12, 2020.

Justice Minister, Given Lubinda, said this was to stop the peddling of misinformation among citizens.

UZI requested for another extension in November 2019 on grounds that it preferred to roll out 5G for which the spectrum was allocated.

They added that the roll out was dependent on confirmation of availability of spectrum in order to allow the manufacturer enough time to manufacture the necessary 5G equipment.

Youth engagement meetings to continue ECZ targets 9 million in

BY TAWANDA MUNYUKI

YOUTH, Sport and Child Development Minister, Emmanuel Mulenga has directed the Youth Development Council to continue organising engagement meetings between Government and youths every two months.

And Mr Mulenga said the meetings should also be taken to provincial levels.

Mr Mulenga said Government realises the important role that young people play in the governance of the nation hence the need to engage them regularly.

“We recognise the importance of constantly engaging with the youth on the various national issues hence the need for us to have more of such meetings”, he said.

Mr Mulenga also advised young people to understand the various empowerment programs that government has for the youths.

“We have a lot of empowerment programmes the youths can utilise and all of them are for the Zambian youths and is not attached to political

Mr Mulenga affiliations,” he emphasised.

And Mr Mulenga said government is aware of the challenges affecting young people adding that everything possible is being done to ensure that a lasting solution is found.

Mr Mulenga cited unemployment and lack of access to financial loans as some of the main challenges affecting the youth.

“My ministry is aware of the challenges that our youths are grappling with and we are hopeful that with such platforms we will be able to come with

solutions together and see the way forward,” he said.

Meanwhile Mr Mulenga also urged young people to utilize their talents to help sustain them financially and not always wait for white collar jobs.

He observed that a lot of young people are sitting on their talents and just waiting to be offered white collar jobs. “ As youths learn to utilize your skills, your talents and not just wait for a white collar job but instead be the ones to create employment for other young people out there,” he said.

Speaking At the same meeting Youth Development Council secretary David Musonda said it was unfortunate that some young people who would rather continue speaking out on social media than engage leaders at meetings. Mr Musonda said shunning such meetings and voicing out on various social media platform would not yield any positive results . “ We have seen a lot discussion on various social media platform by some youths speaking out and it is very unfortunate that they have decided to ignore a platform such as this one,” he said.

‘CATEGORISE INVESTMENTS FOR LOCALS’

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU ZAMBIA needs to put in place specific policies that separate investments between local and international to ensure that local people benefit.

This is according to the Federation of Small-Scale Mining Association of Zambia (FSSMAZ) president, Joseph Mwansa.

Pastor Mwansa emphasised the need for the country to have investments that were only for the local ones and foreign investments.

“We are not saying we don’t need investors. We need them, but not for something that we can do. Something that we can do should be left for us we need to developers our people,” he said in an interview.

Pastor Mwansa also stressed the need for Government to ensure stakeholders were consulted when making serious steps for the nation concerning the mining sector.

He regretted that Zambia was not benefiting enough from the mining sector as more revenue was being taken out of the country.

“We should learn to hear from others we will lose nothing if we develop the spirit of consultation. We will gain more when we

“It is this ministry that brings investment and create employment it is the Vehicle of our economy. Ministry of mines and Agriculture are the two key ministries that need investments. If we handle these two ministries nicely our economy will boost,” he said.

GOVERNMENT in conjunction with the World Food Programme (WFP) has started giving out emergency cash transfers to peri urban households that have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU) National coordinator Chanda Kabwe said that one million households would benefit from the social cash transfer.

Mr Kabwe was speaking when Mika Group of Companies donated covid-19 preventive materials worth K 1.1 billion to DMMU. Donated items included 300,000 face masks, 10,000 test kits and 300 litres of hand sanitizers.

The National Coordinator said that the exercise hds been rolled in Kafue which was badly affected by the pandemic.

He said that other towns which would benefit from the project were Lusaka, Livingstone, Ndola and Kitwe.

Mr Kabwe explained that the transfer value would range from K400 to K813 per month for each household.

The programme, he said, was aimed at supporting peri urban communities as most of the people in were in informal sector, hence there most affected by the Covid-19.

Meanwhile, Mr Kabwe has commended Mika Group of Companies for contributing towards the fight against Covid-19.

He said that amid the challenges faced by most businesses especially the hospitality industry, Mika has contributed to the fight.

And Mika Group of Companies Deputy chief executive officer, Tamson Tabama, said that Government had shown leadership by uniting all sectors of society in the fight against covid-19.

“We from the private sector have noted with gladness that the contribution structure and the guidelines put in place are working,” he said.

Mr Tabama said that Mika Group of Companies would support Government efforts in fighting Covid-19.

Improve, clearing Africa’s debt distress rising - WB agents told

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU

By BUUMBA CHIMBULU BOLLARE Logistics has called for enhanced professionalism among the clearing agents as they aspire to declare the right value to customs at border posts.

Managing Director, Olivier Terra, said Bollare Logistics supported customs to successfully promote the Customs Accredited Clients Programme where complaint operators were granted preferential release of shipments.

Mr Terra said his company assisted customs in their requirements to preregister imports which essentially required goods to be declared before they arrived at the border.

This, he said, was done in an effort to ease congestion at border posts.

He was speaking at the second round of donations by French companies to Government in containing the Covid-19 pandemic which was organised by the French Zambian Chamber of Commerce.

The companies which made donations included Bollore Transport and Logistics Zambia, Africa Greenco, Zamastone Quarries and Aggregates, and Saro Agro Industrial.

Mr Terra said his company was working with Government in finding ways to reduce border congestion, facilitate trade and boost the country’s revenues through more efficient border crossings and revenue collections.

THE Covid-19 is expected to markedly increase the vulnerability of the Sub Saharan region to debt distress, the World Bank Group (WBG) has warned.

It said Government debt had already risen to 60 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), on average, in 2019 almost double the level in 2013.

According to the Group, the composition of debt had also become riskier, with a greater share owed to non-concessional lenders at a higher cost.

These strains, it explained in its latest edition released this month, would be compounded by the increased borrowing required to fund larger deficits.

“In addition, borrowing costs across the region have risen sharply given heightened risk aversion, placing further pressure on fiscal capacity.

“Significantly larger, and more expensive, government debt burdens than last year mean that the risk of sovereign debt defaults has increased, and may rise further if the projected recovery in activity were to disappoint,” the WBG said.

It also said severely constrained government resources, as well as restrictions due to social-distancing measures, could lead to a loss of critical public services during the pandemic and further weigh on

activity.

The Group indicated that these included provision of water, electricity, and normal health care services.

“The financing of current account deficits has become more difficult this year, as heightened risk aversion has caused significant capital outflows and tighter financial conditions.

“This is particularly challenging for countries dependent on portfolio inflows or official development assistance several countries also depend on remittance inflows, which are expected to slow markedly,” the WBG said.

It warned that if these conditions were to continue for a prolonged period, the lack of access to external financing could weigh heavily on foreign reserves, while those without adequate buffers could face balance of payment stress.

It said fiscal deficits in the region were projected to deteriorate sharply this year, doubling on average to roughly five percent of GDP. “Larger deficits reflect increased public spending to help limit the transmission and economic consequences of the virus, sharp falls in revenue as mitigation and other control measures have dampened activity, higher interest payments, and in some instances, the impact of weaker exports on government revenues,” the group said.

COUNCILLORS ‘POUNCE’ ON ZRL LAND

By ROGERS KALERO

A

BOUT 14 illegal developers have encroached on the Zambia Railways land in Kitwe near the former Manica Freight Services in the industrial area.

Some councillors at the Kitwe City Council were alleged to have been involved in the illegal allocation of the land.

The 14 illegal developers include a church which was also illegally allocated a piece of land by a cartel of councillors, who were reported to have gone out of the way to raise money for campaign in the next year's election using illegal means.

Members of management at Polytra and Zambia Railways Regional Manager Inter-mine Obed Galatiya confirmed the encroachment on the piece of

land by 14 illegal developers who included a church.

Mr Galatiya said Zambia Railways was still investigating the matter to establish who was involved in the illegal allocation of land on the company land. He said the company had written a letter to the 14 illegal developers to stop constructing structures on Zambia Railways land.

"Yes, I confirm that 14 illegal developers including a church have encroached on Zambia Railways land near

the former Manica Freight Services which has now been bought by Polytra. I cannot tell you who allocated these people land, but I can tell you that we are investigating.

"We are investigating together with the local authority. We have since written to these illegal developers to stop the construction works so that we can investigate,'' Mr Galatiya said But some councillors told the Daily Nation that five of their fellow civic leaders were

involved in the illegal allocation of land.

The councillors, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said some of their colleagues intending to contest as Members of Parliament were involved in the illegal allocation of land to raise money for campaigns.

"Ehe truth of the matter is that councillors have gone on rampage selling land to make money for campaigns in the next year's election,'' a councillor said.

Chifubu charcoal centre gets facelift

By MUYANI SHINJABALE

THE charcoal trading centre in Chifubu constituency in Ndola will get a facelift to the tune of K200,000 to make the location convenient for customers and traders.

Kamba ward councillor, Oscar Imanga, said a shelter would be constructed from the 2018 -2019 Ward Development Fund (WDF) of K200, 000.

Mr Imanga said there had been complaints from traders

in the area about the lack of shelter and were being soaked during the rainy season while they have had to endure the scorching sun in summer.

In an interview, he said he would be meeting the local authority management and other officials to set a date for the project to commence.

Mr Imanga assured the charcoal traders that two plots had already been allocated to set up the shelter not only for the charcoal traders but also for the vegetable traders at the edge of Chifubu township.

K200, 000

Kamba ward councillor, Oscar Imanga, said a shelter would be constructed from the 2018 -2019 Ward Development Fund (WDF) of K200, 000.

Meanwhile, traders at Chitimukulu market in Chifubu called on Government leaders to set up a shelter in the area before the rain season.

In an interview, Ms Jane

Tembo one of the traders said most of the traders were losing money as their commodities were being destroyed by the harsh sun and rain.

Ms Tembo said the lack of a shelter was affecting their business as they could not afford to sit in the scorching sun or rain.

Another trader at the Market, Sara Mwale, urged Government to allocate projects equally in order to empower other traders with an enabling environment to trade from.

Sex workers’ ‘business’ dwindles

By ROGERS KALERO

COMMERCIAL sex workers in Kitwe have complained that business has become hard for them because clients are difficult to find following the closure of bars and night clubs.

They complained that their “profession” had also been impacted negatively because of the Covid-19 outbreak.

The commercial sex workers, who mistook a Daily Nation Reporter for a client, said the closure of bars and night clubs had forced them to chase for clients in the streets, where business was equally difficult because there were

too many girls.

The two girls aged between 18 and 20 identified themselves and said they were hoping that Government would soon open night clubs and bars where they could have a chance to meet clients "Work is really hard because bars and night clubs have been closed following the outbreak of the Covid-19. In bars and night clubs, that is where we used to meet our clients.

"We have been forced to come on the streets because bars and night clubs have been closed, but in the streets business is hard. Sometimes you may not even find one client. So if you have money,

we are ready for you. If you don't have just give us K20 transport money,'' said one of the girls. They told the Daily Nation that poverty had forced them to engage in prostitution because business had failed while steady relationships had continued to crumble because men usually dumped them within a short time. One of the ladies said she would be happy to

to utilize the remaining 75 hectares from the 100 hectares that was reserved in phase one as only 25 hectares had been utilized so far.

And speaking during an interview, Mango Tree Construction Company Site Engineer, Yang Jiapin, said construction commenced last year and works were expected to finish this year.

Mr. Jiapin said the company was unable to complete the works on schedule due to the outbreak coronavirus.

He however assured the Mayor that by December this year the project would be completed, looking at the pace at which the remaining 30 percent of man power was moving.

KITWE Mayor Christopher Kang’ombe is impressed with the progress at the Kafue Industrial Park by the Citizen Economic Empowerment Commission (CEEC).

Mr Kang’ombe, who on Wednesday inspected the area, expressed gratitude to the Government for considering Kitwe as one of the sites for the establishment of Industrial Parks.

“The project is very important to us not only in responding to the Governments drive to industrialize as one of the 4 pillars in which development takes place but also to create jobs.

“There will be no need for our people to go across the stream to look for jobs because jobs will be right at their door steps,” Mr Kang’ombe stated.

The Mayor appealed to the contractor to complete the works on schedule and further called on other partners Mr Kang’ombe

Dear Editor.

I SOCIAL MEDIA MILES SAMPA Last week our office received a letter of request for PPEs and any Covid prevention aiding materials from the Ridgeway Campus UNZASU President Cornelius P. Simusonge.

This morning therefore together with the Councillor George Daka, we donated to the Ridgeway Unza Campus School of Medicine the following items ; A) 5 Foot propelled Soap and Water dispensing Hand Washing bulk tanks. These are by courtesy of Rotary Club of Lusaka, Stanbic Zambia and Trade Kings.

B) A case of hand washing liquid soap courtesy of Trade Kings.

C) 30 bottles of 1.5 litres of Chibuku for intake in individual rooms only given that their student bar remains closed. The donation is courtesy of National Breweries.

Promotion of Educational excellency by Lusaka resident pupils and students remains one of our top priorities at the Council.

Education is Key to all success.

Together We Can Miles B. Sampa Mayor of Lusaka Wed. 10th June, 2020 COMMENTS Clesencia Kelly: The great mayor of Lusaka, we simply love you. What you do comes from your heart, you are not a pretender. That’s why the pipo of matero miss your works so much Nyondo Timothy the other one on the far end has made good use of Chibuku Donald Bwanga: Just how shallow minded are some few individuals. Imagine they think the Mayor is wrong to mentione what he received for donations by just mentioning Chibuku.

They think they are smart when it simply shows how behind they are.

Kunda Bowa: Shallow minded.

Donald Bwanga: I mistyped yes. I’m a human being.

Brian Nkosi Beer in the rooms is highly prohibited.

Chichi B Nchukwa Kikikikikiki chibuku job well done our mayor Angel Chanda Mushi Am yet to get something from breweries donations.

N the last few days Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo has put across his case as to why we should not listen to youths like 33-year-old musician Brian Bwembya popularly known as B-Flow. Among the issues raised

by B-Flow were his concerns on unemployment, gold mining rights for locals, poor government and abuse of human rights.

Looking at world history it is interesting to see what youths did in their lives to influence and make meaningful change.

In the field of civil rights everyone knows of 42-year-old Rosa Parks who on December 1, 1955, was commuting home from a long day of work at a department store by bus. Few people however know that a 15-year-old Claudette Colvin came nine months before Rosa Parks.

In March 1955, Claudette defied segregation laws by refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. Months later Rosa Parks emulated the Claudette and did exactly the same thing.

Martin Luther King Jr. became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement starting when he led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott. He was only 26 years old. So it is allright for youths to have a dream.

Malala Yousafzai who was shot by the Taliban at age 12, became an activist for female education.

She became the youngest Nobel Prize laureate as a result of her human rights advocacy, especially the education of women and children. According to former Pakistani Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, this discontented youth has become “the most prominent citizen” of the country.

In the Environmental field, 16-year-old Swede Greta Thunburg began her climate strikes in 2018 inspiring thousands of students to walk out of class and demand action on the climate crisis. Greta Thunberg got the majority of ordinary people in the world’s attention but are leaders really listening?

Way before Greta Thunburg’s 2018 foray into environmental issues, our very own Zambian climate leader and youth empowerment advocate Brighton Kaoma won the 2016 WWF International President’s Award for his efforts to educate, and give a voice to, youths about the environment.

This is the WWF’s top accolade to recognise outstanding leadership in young conservationists from around the world.

Kaoma had been a Child Ambassador with UNICEF’s “Unite4Climate Zambia” programme since 2010.

In 2013, the Black Lives Matter movement began with the use of the hashtag#BlackLivesMatter on social media after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of an African-American teen. Its founders were Alicia Garza then aged 31, Opal Tometi, 27 and Patrisse Cullors, aged 28.

In 2017, the Black Lives Matter founders issued a statement calling US President Donald Trump among the world’s worst fascists. The group implored people, and especially white people,

WHY SHOULD B-FLOW BE LISTENED TO?

B-Flow to “forcefully reject the hatred.”

Trump said these young activists were malcontents and accused the group of inciting violence against police officers, calling them a “threat.”

Last year the Parkland students in the United States of America became a force for gun control legislation and boosted the youth vote. The movement was started

by David Hogg, a student who survived the attack.

He expressed his frustration at the pattern of political inaction that seems to follow mass shootings in the United States. He led many disgruntled youths to express their frustrations with the US gun policy.

It is not only in foreign lands that youths excelled in political and social agitation. There is such evidence when you look at the run up to our independence. In 1959 UNIP was born and amongst its movers and agitators were 28-year-old Sikota Wina (UNIP Cowboy), 22-year-old Rupiah Bwezani Banda (RB), 21-year-old Alexander Bwalya Chikwanda (ABC) and 20-year-old Vernon Johnston Mwaanga (VJ).

The UNIP Cowboy, RB, ABC,

VJ and many other “pre Brians” were disgruntled youths. They were disgruntled with the racial discrimination and oppression we were under. These youths guided the elder generations like Kenneth Kaunda and others to gallantly fight for Zambia’s independence.

Even in later years youthful energy was important in energizing political movements. Young Baldwin Nkumbula at his youthful age was a leading advocate for a return to multi-party democracy in the early ‘90s.

In the field of education, Professor Lameck Kazembe Haza Goma, served with distinction as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Zambia having been appointed as Vice Chancellor whilst still in his 30s.

On January 15, 1976 in a demonstration in support of the MPLA, UNZA Students’ Union (UNZASU) described Zambia’s support for UNITA as misguided since they saw UNITA to be divisive and likely to hamper quick and true emancipation of Angola.

In the traditional and royalty field, you have had luminaries like Senior Chief Inyambo Yeta who ascended to the throne 43 years ago in his early 20s. His long reign has been peaceful and progressive.

Muhabi Lungu, when he was in the same age range as Brian, was wisely advising the Father of the Nation. KK appreciated what the youth could do and lent them an ear.

Like Muhabi, in the field of economics, you had people like Rabson Chongo who at a very early age were competently making economic policy decisions for the country.

Even outside Government you had entrepreneurs like Andrew Kachibe who as a young man in the 1980s did what the city council was failing to do.

Andrew set up a private sanitation firm (Andrew-Kurt Limited) in eight townships of Lusaka for emptying pit latrines to stem water borne diseases in the city.

Jeff Sitali very early in his life brought innovative changes to journalism and media presentation. Even the older journalists were learning new tricks from him.

Natasha Salifyanji Kaoma, then a 25 year-old Zambian doctor, won the Queen’s Young Leader Award

in July 2017. Natasha Kaoma who is a women’s health advocate led a drive to launch fundraising to provide menstrual hygiene kits to girls in rural areas.

She made an impact in her community and says she won’t rest “until all women and girls in Zambia live their lives to their maximum potential,” has promised herself to be “on the frontlines, speaking, inspiring, uplifting millions one life at a time.”

Another Natasha, Natasha Mwansa, a young 18-year-old girl was awarded with the World Health Organisation (WHO) Global Award in May 2019. This award is given to individuals doing extraordinary work in promoting people’s health around the world.

Former US President Barack Obama noticed and singled out B-Flow from a large congregation of upcoming young men from all across the world at the 2015 Mandela Fellowship summit.

B-Flow and the other young Zambian youths cited here are evidence that our youths can be mentioned in the same breath as the Malalas, Thunburgs, Claudette Colvins, Alicia Garzas, Opal Tometis, David Hoggs and Martin Luther King Jnrs.

The older generations should not think they possess all knowledge and that they can mend any problem we may face. They should be more sensitive and modest instead of claiming like Trump that they are some kind of “stable geniuses” who have answers for everything. On Covid-19, Trump was even heard saying that he would fix it by having people inject detergent into their blood streams!

Zambian youths continue to prove that even without the right conditions, they can still make an impact and will excel inspite of working in very trying conditions.

We should not handicap them further but instead give them the right environment. Let us not be so opinionated that we stop listening to our amazing youths.

These are examples for Ballies like Bowman Lusambo, instead of thinking that they have the answer for everything, to reflect on and modestly pose the rhetorical question, “Why should B-Flow be listened to?”

‘ZAMBIAN YOUTH.’

District community development officer, Bright Chooma says the imitative is to put extremely poor households who were on the social cash transfer scheme (SCT) to escape

poverty and sustainably support themselves in a variety of income generating activities of their own choice.

He said the beneficiary criterion was based on female households aged between 19 and 64 who were benefiting from the SCT programme.

By press time a total of 1,661 women got their grants under the payment providers, the United Bank of Africa (UBA) alongside Natsave , Zamtel and Airtel money mobile services.

Each beneficiary household has undergone a 21 day business and savings skills training and formed voluntary loan clubs to revolve their monies from intended income generating activities they may venture into and given mobile cell phones for continuous monitoring of the project’s progression impact on their livelihoods Meanwhle, Kalomo – Zimba Women Association (KAZIWA) coordinator, Vanny Sianalucha has welcomed government’s move to assist vulnerable women households in communities.

Mushindano tailors empowered

By JACKSON MAPAPAYI TAILORS in Mushindamo have been empowered to make and supply 6000 face masks, courtesy of the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU).

The 6000 face masks will then be distributed in all the schools in the district.

Mushindamo District Administrative Officer, Oscar Mugala, confirmed the development in an interview yesterday.

Mr Mugala said the tailors had swung into action to ensure that they meet the target. ‘’Yes, I can confirm that the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit has awarded a contract of making face masks that will be supplied in all the schools. The total number of the masks is 6000,’’ Mr Mugala said.

He said the district had not recorded any case of Covid-19 and that all the schools that had opened for examination classes were doing well in terms of preventive measures. ‘’And all the schools are observing hygiene in line with the guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health,’’ he said.

He also revealed that all the schools were disinfected before opening doors to examination classes.

Mr Mugala appealed to well-wishers to come on board and help in the prevention of the spread of Covid19.

He said the fight against the pandemic could not be left to Government alone but needed concerted efforts from all stakeholders.

By ANDREW MUKOMA THE UPND in Southern Province has accused the Government of neglecting certain areas which are represented by the opposition in Parliament.

The party has claimed that Itezhi tezhi in Central province, which the UPND still regard as a part of Southern Province has been neglected.

UPND Southern Province Information and Publicity Secretary, Neto Halwabala, said that Itezhi tezhi district was one of the least developed areas in the country.

He told the Daily Nation that his tour of

Mr Halwabala

Itezhi tezhi revealed the “untold stories” of how underdeveloped the area was.

“My last two weeks of being away from home on a tour of duty in the country side was heart-breaking and a new beginning for my personal renewed fighting spirit for a better Zambia. The PF has created misery, poverty and ignorance in rural areas,” he said.

Mr Halwabala said people in Itezhi tezhi walk long distances to access

medical facilities 56 years after the country got its independence.

“Our brothers and sisters have to walk long distance to access medical facilities. There is no network and children are going to school with lack of balanced diet which affects their academic performance.

“As for farmers who are able to produce enough for home consumption and surplus, there is no market for them to sell their produce,” he said.

ZiCA rallies behind Auditor General’s office

By ANDREW MUKOMA THE Auditor General’s office is an important arm of Government that requires consistent support in offering oversight services in usage of public resources, the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants (ZiCA) has said.

ZiCA Chief Executive Officer, Bonna Kachinga, said the office of the Auditor General was an important institution in the effective monitoring and evaluation of financial management systems, policies and guidelines in accordance with the Zambian Constitution.

However, Mr Kachinga raised concerns that the office was left for too long without someone occupying it not until the appointment of former Accountant-General Dick Sichembe.

Mr Kachinga observed that this should not be the case if the country was to record prudent management of THIEVES have invaded ripe cashew fields in Mitete district of Western Province, forcing farmers to spend sleepless nights guarding their high value crops.

This came to light in the continued tour of the Export Trading Group of companies (ETG) Project Manager Nyambe Luhila to access how cashew nut trees were faring after the first round of chemical spraying Mitete district.

One of the affected farmers, Headman Kenneth Lyabenga of Lyabenga village in Chief Situmbeko’s chiefdom alleged that thieves were stealing the ripe cashew nuts. “ You see, these thieves here have invaded my 450 ripe cashew trees, I am not sleeping. They steal these matured nuts, process them and mix them with cassava leaves for relish known as Ifisashi while the ripe fruit are used to brew Kachasu and local wine,” complained village headman Lyabenga.

Mr Lyabenga said many people in the district should engage in cashew nut growing in order to avoid

public resources.

He was speaking during the opening of a two days training designed to equip participants with knowledge of a transition processes and application of Accrual Basis International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) implementation held in Siavonga district, Southern Province.

“We, therefore, call upon the accounting fraternity and the public at large to support him (Dr Sichembe) in the execution of his duties,” he said.

He said that ZiCA indeed happy to have ended the year 2019 on a good note with the appointment of a suitable person to hold the office of the Auditor General.

And the institute has commended Government for measures being put in place in the formation of the International Public Sector Accounting Standard (IPSAS).

“As you are aware the Institute

issued an accounting pronouncement to give guidance on the applicability of accrual basis International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) in Zambia in 2018.

“This entailed that by January, 2022, all Government Ministries, Provinces and Spending Agencies would have been required to prepare financial statements under the accruals IPSAS framework,” he said The ZiCA Chief said, therefore, Government did well to setting up a steering committee to ensure that the IPSAS was implemented effectively.

“However, it is our considered view that more vigour is needed in this process to increase awareness of the project amongst public sector accountants and more involvement of senior political leadership in order to achieve its successful implementation,” he lamented.

Thieves invade Cashew fields

stealing from those who started cashew production three years ago.

He also said his farm has started bearing fruits from his efforts and the knowledge obtained from Mitete agricultural camp extension officers.

Headman Lyabenga has since requested Export Trading Group of companies and the Cashew

Infrastructure Development Project (CIDP) in the province to loan cashew farmers with wire fences in order to protect their farms from thieves.

Meanwhile, ETG Project Manager Nyambe Luhila who was accompanied by Mitete District Commissioner Mukwamataba Nayunda expressed gratitude that cashew farmers in the

district were adhering to President Edgar Lungu’s call on the people to massively grow cashew in the province. Mr Luhila said once cashew is fully grown and managed properly, the usual talk of Western province being the poorest province in the country will come to an end.

And Mitete District Commissioner, Mukwamataba Nayunda said government through the Ministry of Agriculture in the district will heighten sensitization meetings with various communities against the alleged stealing of ripe cashew in the locality.

Mr Nayunda said emergency meeting would soon commence in all the 16 agricultural camps before the second round of spraying the cashew trees starts and feared that the district may witness deaths from the consuming of sprayed ripe cashew nut fruits by those who are in the habit of stealing of the crop.

I CAN’T GO ON BEGGING UGANDANS TO LIVE, SAYS MUSEVENI

K

A M PA L A - President Yoweri Museveni has reiterated the need for Ugandans to police themselves in a bid to avoid the spread of c o ro n a virus.

President Museveni “We cannot go on begging people to live.

That we call police to enforce (Covid-19 preventive measures)! Call police for what! All of us should enforce this on ourselves without having to bother the police,”

According to him, government will not continue begging Ugandans to live because he and his health experts have done enough to sensitise the public about the preventive measures against the spread of the virus that has so far infected 679 Ugandans.

“We cannot go on begging people to live. That we call police to enforce (Covid-19 preventive measures)! Call police for what!

All of us should enforce this on ourselves without having to bother the police,” he said.

According to the president, truck drivers are being controlled at the entry border points.

“However, within the population, there a r e those

infected. They are mainly from Elegu, Amuria and Rakai. This means that the locals are not following guidelines and the local leaders are not vigilant.

“Let us be serious and defeat this small but dangerous enemy. Obulwade tebulina magulu ) the virus does not move on its own), but is transported (by people),” Museveni added on Thursday while addressing MPs during the budget reading.

Museveni also noted that had it not been the emergencies government has faced in the last six months, especially because of Covid-19, the rate of economic growth would have been at least six percent per annum.

The economy is estimated to grow by 3.1 percent this financial year ending June 30, 2020, slower than the average growth rate of 5.4 percent in the previous four years largely because of the impact of Covid-19 pandemic. - DAILY MONITOR.

LONDON - The economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic could plunge an extra 395 million people into extreme poverty and swell the total number of those living on less than $1.90 a day worldwide to more than one billion, researchers said in a report yesterday.

The report - published by UNU-WIDER, part of the United Nations University - played through a number of scenarios, taking into account the World Bank’s various poverty lines - from extreme poverty, defined as living on $1.90 a day or less, to higher poverty lines of living on less than $5.50 a day.

Under the worst scenario

17-year-old said.

Authorities in Addis started rounding up street children in March to prevent them from contracting and spreading the virus - so far more than 4, 100 have been placed in shelters - and the drive is being ramped up as coronavirus cases rise nationwide.

Ethiopia has recorded at least 2, 670 cases and 40 deaths, and its caseload has more than doubled since the start of June.

“I was willing (to go to a shelter) because I want-

ed to save myself from the coronavirus,” Olana told the Thomson Reuters Foundation by phone from a shelter in the southern city of Hawassa. “I was really afraid.”

Despite rapid growth in the past decade, inequality is stark in Ethiopia where a growing number of children have been driven from their homes - by poverty or neglect - and ended up begging or selling wares to survive life on the streets, charities said.

Coronavirus crisis could see number of extreme poor rise to 1.1bn worldwide - researchers - a 20 percent contraction in per capita income or consumption - the number of those living in extreme poverty could rise to 1.12 billion.

The same contraction applied to the $5.50 threshold among upper-middle income countries could see more than 3.7 billion people - or just over half the world’s population - live below this poverty line.

“The outlook for the world’s poorest looks grim unless governments do

more and do it quickly and make up the daily loss of income the poor face,” said Andy Sumner, one of the report’s authors.

“The result is progress on poverty reduction could be set back 20-30 years and making the UN goal of ending poverty look like a pipe dream.”

The researchers from King’s College London and Australian National University also found that poverty would shift in its geographic

distribution.

The region expected to see the biggest number of people at risk of plunging into extreme poverty was South Asia, mainly driven by populous India.

This was followed by Sub-Saharan Africa where around a third of the rise would come from.

On Monday, the World Bank said it expected 70-100 million people to be pushed into extreme poverty by the pandemic. – REUTERS.

SUB-TOPIC: PHRASES LESSON #1: NOUN PHRASES AND VERB PHRASES TEACHER: Anthony Simukonde Definition Grammatical phrases are groups of two or more words that work together to perform a single grammatical function in a sentence. Unlike clauses, phrases do not contain both a subject and a predicate (although they sometimes function as one or the other).

Phrases from the Parts of Speech Most of the parts of speech can be made into phrases by adding information that is directly associated with them. Eight common types of phrases are: noun, verb, gerund, infinitive, appositive, participial, prepositional and absolute. In this lesson, we will look at a breakdown of each type of phrase that is formed from a part of speech, including some examples of the various types of phrases and how each functions in a sentence.

Noun Phrases A noun phrase consists of a noun plus any determiners or modifiers directly related to it. Noun phrases always have the grammatical function of nouns in a sentence.

Noun phrase examples

How they appear in a sentence

a chair — determiner a + noun chair

I found a chair I would like to buy

her sweetly smiling child — determiner her + adverb sweetly + adjective (present participle) smiling + noun child

She gazed lovingly at her sweetly smiling child.

the blue car — determiner the + adjective red + noun car

The blue car belongs to me.

Verb Phrases A verb phrase can either be made up of an auxiliary verb and its main verb, or a verb plus any modifiers, objects, or complements. Verb phrases are used to form perfect or continuous verb tenses, to express modality, or as part (or all) of the predicate.

How they appear in a sentence I am running late. (forms am running — auxiliary verb the present am + present continuous tense) participle running They have completed have completed — auxiliary work on the verb have + building. (forms the past participle completed present perfect tense) quickly ran to the bus — Alinani quickly ran to the adverb quickly + bus. (forms the verb ran + prepositional predicate) phrase to the bus plays the guitar — verb Simbule plays the guitar. plays + object (forms the predicate) the guitar Verb phrase examples

Identify the noun phrases in the following sentences.

1. Lukundo hopes to win the lottery.

2. He tried to solve the puzzle.

3. Did they enjoy the lesson?

4. The girl wants to go for a walk.

5. The boy refused being tested for Covid-19.

Identify the verb phrases in the following sentences 1. The police have already been notified.

2. This time they should have been in Kitwe.

3. She has forgotten about their anniversary.

4. The doctor has given them a complete diagnosis.

5. The youths’ roles have not been clearly explained.

News of the

NAIROBI - A police camp in Kenya’s Naivasha town, west of the capital Nairobi, was set on fire by angry residents who were protesting against alleged harassment.

The residents set the house of the officer in-charge on fire before flames spread to the other houses.

Fire fighters put out the fire but property of unknown value had been destroyed. No one was injured in the incident, according to Naivasha subcounty commissioner Mathioya Mbogo.

Police have not made any arrests and are investigating the arson.

Kenya’s Independent Policing Oversight Authority (Ipoa) last week raised alarm on rising cases of police brutality.

The police watchdog said at least 15 people had been killed by police during the nationwide dusk-to-dawn curfew, aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus. It called for them to be arrested and charged but no action has been taken so far.

Activists have been holding demonstrations in Nairobi calling for an end to police brutality.

The latest incident came after three Kenyan police officers were arrested after one of them was filmed whipping and dragging a woman, who was tied to a motorcycle, along an earth road.

She has been hospitalised with wounds on her legs and hands. She told local station Citizen TV that she knows the police officer.

Congo prosecutor seeks 20-year sentence for president’s aide KINSHASA - Prosecutors asked a high court in the Democratic Republic of Congo to sentence Vital Kamerhe, the president’s chief of staff, to 20 years in prison for his alleged role in the embezzlement of more than $50 million of public funds.

The case has gripped the nation with Kamerhe, a top power-broker in Congolese politics for decades, appearing in court dressed in prison fatigues for a trial broadcast live on state television.

Prosecutor Kisula Betika Yeye Adler asked the judge to sentence Kamerhe to a maximum of 20 years for embezzlement and other corruption charges.

Adler also requested Kamerhe be barred from holding public office for 10 years after completing his sentence, a move that would scupper his political ambitions and likely further destabilise the ruling coalition.

Kamerhe has become the most powerful politician to face graft charges in Congo. His supporters say the case is politically motivated, aimed at blocking his chances of challenging Tshisekedi at the next election in 2023.

The date of the verdict is not yet known. – REUTERS.

The Department of Criminal Investigation said the three police officers are in custody and are helping with further investigations into the incident.

Kenya’s Independent Policing Oversight Authority said in a statement “it will make appropriate recommendations if

culpability is established.”

A recent report by the UN human rights office documented widespread police violence across the country, including beating, use of live ammunition and tear gas, sexual violence and damage to property. – BBC.

Ramaphosa refers ‘draconian’ Secrecy Bill back to Parliament

JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa has referred the controversial Protection of State Information Bill, or the Secrecy Bill as its many critics have dubbed it, back to Parliament as he “cannot assent to the bill” given his reservations of its constitutionality.

The contentious bill has been gathering dust, unsigned in the Presidency since 2013.

In a letter to National Assembly Speaker Thandi Modise dated June 2, Ramaphosa noted former President Jacob Zuma had previously sent the bill back to Parliament and while he appreciated the unorthodoxy of his move to again refer it to the legislature he believed it was the only way to proceed.

Ramaphosa said while Zuma had sent the bill back flagging “minor editorial issues,” his reservations about its constitutionality were based on several legal opinions.

He noted Section 32 of the Constitution guaranteed everyone had the right of access to any information held by the state, and any information that was held by another person and that was required for the exercise or protection of any rights, and section 16 guaranteed freedom of expression, including press freedom.

“It is clear that the bill limits both of these sections,” he wrote to Modise.

“The bill limits the freedom of the media (and everyone else) to access or receive or impart information. This is a limitation of section 16.

“The bill also prohibits people from accessing certain information held by the state. This is a limitation of section 32.” Ramaphosa said the importance

Burundi’s constitutional court to decide interim leader after president’s death NAIROBI - Burundi’s constitutional court will decide who takes over as interim leader following the sudden death this week of President Pierre Nkurunziza, the government said in a statement on Thursday.

According to the constitution the speaker of the House is supposed to take over, but there has been uncertainty as to who is in charge.

The government announced on Tuesday that Nkurunziza, 55, had died of a heart attack although it was not clear which day he died.

Nkurunziza had been due to hand over power in August to President-elect Evariste Ndayishimiye, who successfully stood for the ruling party in elections last month.

The cabinet decided at an extraordinary cabinet meeting on Wednesday that the constitutional court should guide the country and “show modalities of filling the post,” the government statement said.

Burundi watchers have been keen to see whether the country’s powerful cabal of army generals and security chiefs who propped up Nkurunziza during his 15-year rule remain united over the succession.

Pierre Nkurunziza Authorities have not yet announced a date for Nkurunziza’s burial.

Meanwhile, the cabinet has suspended music in public places during the seven-day mourning announced by the government.

The mayor of the commercial capital, Bujumbura, Freddy Mbonimpa said secular music was banned but people could still play gospel music.

He said secular music in bars, restaurants, hairdressing salons, cars and all other places of gathering was banned.

Only wedding parties, funerals and mourning wakes are allowed, he said. – REUTERS/BBC.

DRC charity loses over $600, 000 in aid scam

DAKAR - International aid agency Mercy Corps on Thursday said it believed over $600, 000 was siphoned from its emergency cash programme in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in a scam that could have targeted other aid groups.

Mercy Corps, which supports vulnerable communities in Congo with cash, vouchers and other aid, launched an internal investigation in 2018 after detecting signs of fraud, a spokesman said. – REUTERS.

Zim foreign currency account holders panic

President Ramaphosa of a single, coherent act setting out national security restrictions “cannot be gainsaid,” but the limitations on sections 16 and 32 “may be unreasonable or incapable of being justified.”

He also had several other “reservations” about the bill, among themt the lack of a public interest defence, which, according to Ramaphosa, would create an “unjustifiable chilling effect on the freedom of expression,”and the vagueness on who can classify and declassify information.

In his letter to Modise, Ramaphosa said the bill should first be referred back to Parliament before the court could express an opinion.

The National Assembly first passed it in April 2013, but in September of that year, Zuma sent it back to Parliament. It has been in limbo ever since. – NEWS24.

HARARE - Foreign Currency Account holders with Zimbabwean banks – among them units of Standard Bank, Standard Chartered and Nedbank – have expressed apprehension about what they fear could be a run on their funds by the government, as the central bank kicks in new monetary measures.

Foreign currency availability has been a problem in Zimbabwe, whose productive sectors continue to encounter headwinds against a huge import bill for fuel, medicines and raw materials for industry. – FIN24.

UN voices ‘horror’ after reports of Libya mass graves

TRIPOLI - The United Nations voiced “horror” after reports that eight mass graves had been discovered in an area recently seized by the unity government after forces loyal to eastern strongman Khalifa Haftar withdrew.

“International law requires that the authorities conduct prompt, effective and transparent investigations into all alleged cases of unlawful deaths,” the UN mission said in a statement on Twitter. – REUTERS.

Joy, tears as ICC arrests war crimes suspect

EX-INTERNATIONAL SICHONE TIPS DAKA The former FAZ technical director said Zambia needed players to breakthrough to such world class leagues as it will also uplift the performance of the national team.

Sichone said he was ready to fully support Daka when he makes a move to Germany.

"This is what we are lacking, more Zambian players to breakthrough in bigger leagues which has contributed to the national team failing to compete at high standard."

"The time I moved to Germany, they said they are racists, but the only thing that kept me was to realise why I was there, discipline

and hard work. I had to make it and even today's players can make it," he said.

And Sportsnet writer and analyst Peter Galindo told transfermarkt.com said Daka would be a good addition to Leipzig since he knows the tactics and has superior pressing numbers, along with a stronger attacking output.

Daka has scored 22 goals in 24 matches for Salzburg.

Should Daka switch to Germany, he will be a third Zambian to play in Bundesliga after Sichone and Andrew Sinkala who played for Bayern Munich.

Sichone played for Koln among other Germany clubs.

The Zambian striker could become the 17th player to move from Salzburg to Leipzig.

Leipzig are third on the table behind leaders Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund and are also in the Champions League quarter-finals.

BUSA Steps Up

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

BAULENI United Sports Academy (BUSA) has launched the Step Up project aimed at empowering the young and old in various communities.

BUSA Chief Executive Officer, Kaluba Kangwa said the project is critical as it will help families fight hanger during the Covid-19 period.

She was speaking during the launch of the project which empowered over 300 families with mealie meal in Bauleni, Kalikiliki and Makululu compounds Kangwa said the pandemic has negatively affected players and families as they struggle to find food.

She however reaffirmed BUSA’s commitment to continue empowering the young and the old in various communities through the various programmes.

“Step Up is a project that

By MUKWIMA CHILALA THE Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) says Thursday’s raid at the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) headquarters was part of an ongoing investigation against general secretary Adrian Kashala in which was being probed for obtaining pecuniary advantage and money laundering .

DEC Public Relations Officer Theresa Katongo said Kashala was being investigated for money laundering charges but could however not confirm on whether he had been warned and cautioned.

Katongo said that as part of investigations, DEC seized a personal laptop and a central

BUSA is strengthening to fight the challenges surrounding the issues relating to the Covid-19 which has brought hunger in our communities.

“Things are not the same but we want to see better communities. Three to five years from now we want to see communities which are vibrant in so many areas,” Kangwa said.

Meanwhile, Zambia national women’s team captain Barbra Banda who started

her football journey at BUSA hailed the club for the role it played in her development.

Banda who plays as a forward for Chinese club Shanghai Shengli urged parents to encourage the girl-child to participate in sports which has the power to change the lives of girls in communities.

And Shepolopolo winger Mary Mwakapila, a former BUSA player who plays for Green Buffaloes, encouraged

upcoming players to be focused and heed to guidelines from their parents to make it in their football careers.

Meanwhile, Raban Banda who spoke for the beneficiaries hailed BUSA for contributing to the growth of youths in Bauleni. Banda urged BUSA to continue helping the pool through the Step Up programme aimed at helping players and the old in communities with foodstuffs during Covid-19 period.

DEC probes FAZ GS Kashala processing unit (CPU) from Kashala’s office. “As part of investigations involving Adrian Kashala, he is being investigated for obtaining pecuniary advantage and money laundering. And then of course as part of investigations we seized a laptop and a central processing unit basically to just help us with our investigations,” Katongo said.

Last week, media reports suggested that Kashala was warned and cautioned by the DEC for money laundering activities involving K30, 000 to which FAZ refuted as being innuendos meant to tarnish his image.

FAZ vice president Rix Mweemba said the association had not received any communication from the DEC and that the allegations were just mere innuendos from individuals bent on fighting Kashala.

Kashala was last December reported to the Police by former FAZ executive committee member Elijah Chileshe for money laundering involving K30, 000.

On Thursday DEC officers raided Football House in which they took a personal computer and a central processing unit thereby partially paralysing operations at the institution.

THUMBS UP TO JUDOKAS FOOTBALL has for long been termed as the number one sport in the country. The "beautiful game" gets all the recognition and attention from both sports fans and the Ministry of Sports, Youth and Child Development.

While sports associations have for long been known for complaints on the perceived bias towards football from the ministry of Sports, one would argue that football is the major sporting discipline in the country and these minor sports must not cry foul as they clearly never attract the huge fan base as football.

Despite the tag of being a "minor sport," the Zambia Judo Association (ZJA) has taken the initiative by “standing up to be counted.” Despite the coronavirus paralysing sports, it has been an opportunity to the ZJA to plough back to the community with massive donations towards the fight against the pandemic in different parts of the country. They have disinfected schools and masked up over 500 people.

ZJA president Alfred Foloko has led the way in proving that it's not everytime that you have to receive but also contribute to the community that give us our medal winners.

Such gestures can aid the so called "minor sports" to leave a mark that will make them receive more recognition. If they don't avail themselves to the public, no one will know they exist.

Other associations should take a leaf from their Judo counterparts by venturing into community service as well as sensitising the public on the sports disciplines.

It is cardinal for minor sports to rise to the occasion and spread their tentacles to various parts of the country to be recognised. It's kudos to ZJA executive committee.

Sports Council polls on

By MICHAEL MIYOBA OVER 50 national sports federations will today convene at National Sports Council of Zambia (NSCZ) in Lusaka to elect the board vice chairman and other board members.

The elections which were approved by the ministry of Health will be monitored by Minister of Sports, Youth and Child Development Emmanuel Mulenga who is determined to ensure that the polls are conducted in a free and fair manner.

Mulenga said on Thursday that Government is determined to put the board in place so that it can do its work.

“We have a permit from the Ministry of Health and they have allowed us to go ahead with the elections for the sake of good governance. “I want the polls to be free and fair and transparent so I will be there to make sure that the counting is done, and the winners are announced then I will leave,” Mulenga said. And NSCZ General Secretary Raphael Mulenga said federation leaders are determined to participate in the elections to choose their representatives.

Mulenga said federations which haven’t been active have also registered to take part in the polls which

will choose the remaining board members.

He is confident that the elections will be done in a free and fair manner as a new board entrusted with the development of sports in the country is elected.

The polls will see Badminton Association of Zambia president Kamatuwa Chirwa compete with former board member Charles Mwanza from the Zambia Golf Union and Nicole Sharp Phiri from the Zambia Swimming Union for the vice chairman’s position.

Meanwhile, seven candidates will be elected as board members from the 11 candidates who filed in their nominations for the vacant positions. The board, which is elected by both Government and the constituency comprising national federations was expected to be constituted before July. Last week, Sports Minister Mulenga announced the appointment of ZICTA director-general Patrick Mutimushi as NSCZ board chairperson.

Mulenga appointed Mutimushi, former Football Association of Zambia president Michael Chiti, Shaileni Desai, motorsport navigator Urshilla Gomes, Grace Kumwenda and Margaret Siachulu to be part of the board which awaits eight other board members to be elected today.

Ex-international Sichone tips Daka

Bayern poised to be crowned German champs

By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA

BAYERN Munich could secure an eighth straight Bundesliga title this weekend if they beat Borussia Mönchengladbach today without suspended duo Thomas Müller and Robert Lewandowski.

Bayern will be confirmed champions with a win today if second-placed Borussia Dortmund lose at relegation-threatened Fortuna Düsseldorf earlier in the day.

That scenario would give Hansi Flick’s side an unassailable 10-point lead with three games remaining. - SPORTS24

RETIRED Zambian international Moses Sichone says striker Patson Daka has the attributes to become a top player in the Bundesliga should RB Leipzig sign him.

Sichone, who spent most of his professional career playing in the German league, said Daka has enough experience to play in the Bundesliga.

According to a report by transfermarkt. com, Redbull Salzburg sister club and German Bundesliga upstarts Red Bull Leipzig are eyeing Daka as an option for Timo Werner who has joined Chelsea.

Reacting to the news, Sichone said he would recommend Daka to switch to Leipzig as it is a more competitive league compared to the Austrian league.

"It would be a great thing if he switched to Leipzig.

Bundesliga is not just any other league compared to Salzburg where he is playing at the moment.

"Bundesliga is not easy, but he is young and all he needs is determination and focus. He has a bit of some experience, played in the champions. And he’s disciplined. I think Daka will not fail to perform should his move become reality," Sichone said.

WAITING GAME

…FAZ praying for government approval to restart league

By MICHAEL MIYOBA

T

HE Football Association of Zambia, (FAZ) says the decision to resume the MTN/ FAZ Super Division lays with Government through the Ministry of Sports, Youth and Child Development and the Ministry of Health.

FAZ president Andrew Kamanga said in an interview that they have submitted recommendations which will have to be approved by Government for the league to start.

“We have given a request to restart all the leagues and the government will guide how that process will happen. We can’t go into the details now because we don’t know whether Government will decide how it’s to be done so everything is speculative as we speak.

“We wrote and we are constantly checking and consulting with the Minister of Sports because at the end of the day it is the ministry of Sports and the ministry of Health to guide,” Kamanga said.

Kamanga said FAZ is focusing on

resuming the league which will make it possible for Zambia to start preparing for the AFCON and World Cup qualifiers.

He said the Zambian league will have to be active before preps for CAF games, the AFCON and World Cup qualifiers can resume.

“The key issue is to restart the league which has a bearing on international competitions.

“There is the AFCON qualifiers which have to be played, there is also the World Cup qualifiers so everything is possible between September and the end of the year but for us to go into those

programmes we need to be active before we can start preparing,” Kamanga said.

Meanwhile, Government says it is still assessing the recommendation submitted by FAZ for the league to resume.

Youth, Sport and Child Development Minister Emmanuel said he would give a comprehensive statement after meeting officials from the Ministry of Health who are expected to regulate the league.

Mulenga said his ministry is determined to see football returning after the ban on contact sports was imposed three months ago due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

PSL gets green light to resume training as government approves protocols THE South African Football Association (SAFA) has announced that government has approved the protocol of regulations that will allow for PSL teams to resume training.

PSL matches were last played on March 11 before the league was halted in line with measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus.

This left most clubs with six or seven matches of the current campaign still to play.

A SAFA Joint Liaison Committee (JLC) was then put together to formulate safety measures for soccer to resume that was to be approved by Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa.

This has since been approved and was confirmed in a statement yesterday. “According to Government Gazette promulgated by Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture on 11 June 2020 under the Disaster Management Act of 2002, football can resume training after complying with the regulations.

“These regulations entail among others that all teams need to test for Covid-19 and chronic medical conditions (as stipulated in the football return to training protocol adopted by the SAFA Joint Liaison Committee (JLC) and results must be sent to the Compliance Officer.

“Disinfection of the training venue is mandatory, so is the daily screening of Covid-19 symptoms for all those involved.

“All teams are encouraged to undertake strict hand and respiratory hygiene and have a consulting doctor at all times as stipulated in the return to football protocol adopted by JLC. – SPORT24.
