reports being circulated by the

to win the 2021 elections.
Last week a UPND delegation
led by Party Chairperson Mutale
Nalumango and accompanied by
among others Gary Nkombo and,
Cholwe Beyani held a meeting with
a European Ambassador at which
they presented findings of an Israeli
election strategist group which
they have hired which projected an

KENYA Sunday recorded the highest
number of daily Covid-19 infections
since March 13, a development likely
to inform the outcome of President
Uhuru Kenyatta’s crisis meeting with
governors on Monday.
According to the Health ministry,
960 people tested positive out of 8,261
samples that were tested.
Health Cabinet Secretary Mutahi
Kagwe in a statement said Nairobi
recorded the highest number of new
cases at 510 followed by Kajiado (102),
Kiambu (100) and Machakos (58).
The surging infections in counties
neighbouring the capital indicate the
impact of Mr Kenyatta’s decision to
lift containment measures and reopen
the city county. In Nairobi, most of the
infections were recorded in Lang’ata,
Westlands, Embakasi East, Starehe,
Kibra, Dagoretti North, Embakasi West,
[Pagethe
Kasarani, and Makadara. In Kiambu, 4]
infections were concentrated in Kiambu
town, Githunguri, Ruiru and Thika while
in Machakos, the cases were in Athi
River.
A total of 276,415 tests have been
conducted from which 280 deaths have
been recorded. The total number of
positive cases stands at 17,603.
Overall, Nairobi bears the highest
number of people with the virus at
10,180 cases (58 percent), followed
by Mombasa (11 per cent), Kajiado (6
percent) and Busia (4 percent).

By NATION REPORTER
C
HIEF Mukuni of the
Toka Leya people has
come out guns blazing
attacking the Bemba people’s
Paramount Chief Chitimuku-
lu for his revelation about the
UPND and its leader, Hakain-
de Hichilema whom he has
accused of plotting his de-
thronement.
In a scathing press state-
ment, Chief Mukuni, a known
UPND sympathizer, has de-
fended the UPND and Mr
Hichilema over accusations
of plotting to dethrone the
Bemba paramount chief in
the event they formed govern-
ment next year.
Last week, Chitimukulu re-
vealed a plot to dethrone him
should the UPND ascend to
power and vowed to prevent
that from happening. He has
promised to decampaign the
opposition party.
However, Senior chief
Mukuni claimed that Bill
10 which Paramount Chief
Chitimukulu of the Bemba
people appears to be a propo-
nent of is what will dethrone
him and not UPND president
Hakainde Hichilema.
Senior Chief Mukuni said he

Stop stigma against Covid
patients, says minister
By BENNIE MUNDANDO
HEALTH Minister Chita-
lu Chilufya has cautioned
against stigmatization of
Covid19 patients while prais-
ing those who have revealed
their status as this helps with
contact tracing.
Dr Chilufya said stigma
should not disrupt the fight
against Covid-19 and encour-
aged those who tested pos-
itive to reveal their status to
help others.
“The people who are re-
porting public that they have
Covid-19 are responsible peo-
ple and would like to protect
the people they came into
contact with. If you do not
want to go public, contact the
people you came into contact
with,” Dr. Chilufya said.
And Dr Chilufya disclosed
that in the last 24 hours as
at yesterday, Zambia had re-
corded 153 new Covid -19
cases out of 446 tests done
while no death was record-
ment on the matter but forced
to do so because the circum-
stances in which the accusa-
tions were being made could
longer be termed as ordinary.
He also said he found in-
consistencies in the Mwine
Lubemba's statement against
Mr Hichilema.
“I therefore find the effort
to drag Mr Hakainde Hichile-
ma and Hon Milupi into the
Bemba royal family in - fight-
ing by His Majesty the Mwine
Lubemba unfortunate, unfair,
unnecessary, and overbearing
and without a solid, sound
basis and legal or moral justi-
fication.
“The evidence available and
very much in the public do-
main is that Mr Hichilema has
never exulted in the dethron-
ing of His Majesty, but, con-
trary has on various occasions
commiserated with him with
unwavering support,” Senior
Chief Mukuni.
He added, “The Chitimuku-
lu appears to overwhelmingly
depend on mere hearsay to
find Mr Hichilema guilty by
association, which by the law
of natural justice is unjust
and unacceptable and draws
a dangerous precedent for fu-
ture discourses.”
“In as far as I am con-
cerned, what endangers His

and the new wing at Levy
Mwanawasa Hospital with a
52 bed capacity has now been
operationalized.
Speaking when he gave a
Covid-19 update yesterday,
Dr. Chilufya paid glowing trib-
ute to those who have bene
bold enough to come out
in the open to declare their
Covid-19 status and warned
against discrimination saying
this could reverse the gains
Majesty's throne is Bill 10
which he tragically appears to
be a proponent of. The mon-
strous Bill 10 advocates to re-
move traditional Chiefs from
their thrones at the behest
of the Republican President.
When I last checked, Mr Hi-
chilema vehemently opposed
this Bill while the Republican
President supports its enact-
ment into law. Who between
the two is a danger to His Maj-
esty's rule in an unlikely event
that the evil Bill is made into
law? It's definitely not Mr Hi-
chilema,” he said.
The traditional leader fur-
ther accused of Paramount
Chief Chitimukulu of ad-
vancing divisions instead of
unifying the country in all his
debates.
Further, he said, let me state
that I find a lot of inconsisten-
cies in the Mwine Lubemba's
statement. Among many is
His Majesty's assertions that
'the Bemba had no problem
voting for other tribes, like
they did for Kenneth Kaunda,
Frederick Chiluba, Levy Mwa-
nawasa, Rupiah Banda and
Michael Sata'.
“The apparent characteri-
zation of late Presidents Fred-
rick Chiluba and Michael Sata
in His Majesty's statement, as
outsiders of the Bemba King-
achieved on preventing the
spread of the disease.
The minister also warned
against stigma againgst Covid
patients, “Stigma must be
frowned upon. There is no
need to stigmatize patients
with COVID-19. Stigma is
reversing the gains we have
posted in the fight against
Covid-19. Covid-19 requires
solidarity and unity of pur-
pose. This is the reason why
President Lungu has insis-
tently stated that it is time for
all of us to unite as a common
front against Covid-19. It is
not time to politicize it. It is
time to face this formidable
and virulent virus.”
“A number of our econom-
ic and social livelihoods are
being disrupted by this pan-
demic and it is important that
we deal with it first even as we
mitigate the impact of various
sectors, we have the impera-
tive of dealing with Covid-19
itself first and it requires com-
munity and individuals ac-
tion,” he said.
CHIEF Mukuni
dom is succinctly clear and
categorical, but also brings to
the fore the level of divisive-
ness the Chitimukulu's debate
brings to the unitary nature
of the Zambian statehood,
which by our constitution is
blind to ethnicity and other
artificial boundaries,” Chief
Mukuni said.

By BENNIE MUNDANDO
THOSE individuals who
circulated information
about me having died last
Friday are at the epitome
of wickedness and hatred,
Nalikwanda United Party
for National Development
(UPND) Member of Parlia-
ment Professor Geoffrey
Lungwangwa has said.
And Health Minister Chi-
talu Chilufya has cautioned
Zambians to stop stigma
against covid patients as
this would defeat the fight
against the scourge as peo-
ple will fear speaking out.
Speaking to the Daily Na-
tion yesterday, Professor
Lungwangwa said the fake
news about his death had
affected a lot of people glob-
ally as he was bombarded
with phone calls from fami-
ly, friends, and relatives after
`news’ about his purported
demise filtered through so-
cial media platforms.
“I am a member of the
Pan African Parliaments and
I had calls from across Af-
rica. I am a member of the
International Parliament for
Tolerance and Peace and we
have members from all over
the world and so, people
were calling.
“That included some of
the colleagues I am with
on the Sun Moon Universi-
ty as global vice president.
Everyone was concerned.
You don’t do such a thing.
The worst thing that a hu-
man being can ever do is to
wish another person dead
and whoever did that does
not deserve to be called a

achubo 44 of house number

"I can confirm that six
UPND cadres were appre-
hended at the weekend by
police for unlawful assembly

occurred on July 25, 2020
around 1500hours at farm
number one Kakoso in Chili-

mi Mbulo, the PF chairlady for

She said the facts were that
the group of UPND cadres

wangwa said.
“That is the highest de-
gree of evil to wish some-
body dead. It is an expres-
sion of human wickedness.
Whoever did that is highly
inhuman, very wicked, and
evil. We don’t do that to a fel-
low human being. You can’t
wish someone dead. Apart
from that, you don’t put a
story like that in public do-
main without verifying the
truth,” he said.
He blamed the fake news
on his political opponents
but said politics must be
about contestation of ideas
and not character assassi-
nation and spreading false-
hoods.
“The bottom line is, that is
the work of political enemies
but this is very unfortunate
because politics should not
degenerate to a point where
human beings look at each
other with extreme hatred.
We should not take politics
to a level of extreme hatred.
“Politics is supposed to
be a process of making pol-
icies for the good of society.
If you disagree, it must be on
the contention of ideas. It is
most unfortunate that we, as
human beings, end up with
evil minds to a point where
we trade bitterness and ha-
tred towards each other,” he
said.
Asked if he had tested
positive to COVID-19 and
that this could have been
the reason some people
became malicious and
claimed that he had died,
Prof. Lungwangwa said he
was negative.
“I did my test on Monday
and the results came out
negative. Even if I was pos-
itive, you cannot just create
an imaginary story which
is unverified. They should
have gone to Parliament to
find out. It should not be
that way. I hope no other
human being in our society
will be subjected to that kind
of evil,” he said.

And PF Chairman for mo-
bilization Richard Musukwa
has said the district Chair lady
for Chililabombwe Ms Mbu-
lo was the one who reported
the matter to police after the
UPND cadres invaded her
farm.
Mr Musukwa said people
should not suspect foul play
that UPND cadres were found
conducting elections on a
farm belonging to a PF cadre
because it was the owner of
the farm who reported them
to police
He said Ms Mbulo’s farm-
was next to that of a UPND
cadre and so there was a pos-
sibility that the involved peo-
ple might have gotten lost and
invaded the wrong farm.
“Some of those people were
from Lusaka and Kitwe and so
it is possible that they got lost.
Instead of going to a farm of a
UPND cadre, they went to Ms

HH ASSASSINATION
PLOT RUBBISHED
… Church slams
foreigners aiding
misinformation
From page 1
Now the party has launched
a diplomatic foray to solicit
the support of Europeans
Governments, alleging that
Government was scheming to
bar or at worst assassinate him.
However, the Bishops
Council of Zambia has
described the allegations as
rubbish , saying assassination
was not in the culture of
Zambian politics. He added that
it was unheard of for a foreign
Government to directly interfere
in local politics as was being
envisaged by the ambassador.
“If it was assassination, they
would have killed him when he
did something stupid in Mongu
but they let him go,” Bishops
Council of Zambia, General
secretary Bishop Abel Kaela.
The church also condemned
the foreign interference in
internal affairs, calling for the
expulsion of the envoys involved
because such actions would
amount to rigging and inciting
insurgency in a peaceful
country.
Bishops Kaela said
yesterday, it was dangerous
for foreign countries to start
funding opposition as this was
recipe for anarchy and warned
government to take firm action.
He said, it was important to
find out if indeed South Africa
and Angola governments were
involved in this dirty scheme.
They told the ambassador
that according to an analysis
of voting patterns and voter
turn out among other issues
Hichilema would win the vote.
They told the ambassador
that there were plans to stop
him from standing and at
worst assassinate him. They
appealed for support to enable
them win the election claiming
that the Angolan and South
African Governments were also
supporting UPND.
In response the ambassador
promised logistical support
to conduct campaigns for the
election.
On the same day the
Ambassador met another
European Union Ambassador
to inform him about the
engagement with the UPND
officials.
And contrary to diplomatic
etiquette one European
Government has accepted to
assist the UPND with logistics to
campaign.
The Ambassador
representing the country has
also undertaken to consider
requesting the European Union
P27072020

(EU) to provide the UPND

with financial support as well
as logistics. The diplomatic
initiative is now expected to
culminate in a meeting between
the UPND delegation and with

COMPLIANCE
THAT 472 COVID-19 infections and three deaths were
recorded in 24 hours on Friday, is a frightening phenome-
non which should trigger a sense of responsibility and care
among all citizens in Zambia.
More depressing is the fact that cumulative deaths stand
at 139 with 17 patients on oxygen; Zambian must upscale
preventive measures and awareness programmes.
Health Minister, Chitalu Chilufya, for the umpteenth
time emphasized the imperative need to observe health
guidelines, but many citizens are still not buying into the
narrative.
It is now commonplace for a horde of citizens on public
buses, markets and other public places to speak, cough and
sneeze from uncovered mouths.
Awareness programmes on social distancing are an ac-
ademic exercise because people are commuting in public
automobiles squeezed to the brim.
While the Health Minister would spend time stressing
the mandatory social distancing, much thought has not
been given to the sitting arrangement on buses.
Commuters sit shoulder-to-shoulder without masks on
their faces.
battles because it will not help you,
Kabwe Central Member of Parliament has
challenged lawyer John Sangwa.
Last week, Mr. Sangwa was quoted as
saying the rank and dignity of State Counsel
was not chivala mulomo, adding that being a
member of LAZ did not abolish any lawyer’s
freedom of expression.
This was in response to President Edgar
Lungu’s appeal to the newly-elected LAZ
executive to address the tendency by
some State Counsels who were in the habit
of openly demonising and insulting the
executive when they are supposed to be
advisors to the State.
The President had suggested that state
counsels had the option of putting their
concerns in writing to the Office of the
President in line with the dignity of their
status.
Mr. Sangwa, however, reacted to the
call by the President by suggesting that if
the status of State Counsel was to stop the
recipients from speaking out on governance
issues, then he was willing to relinquish
Mr Sangwa
his Letters Patent, as it would be a form of
corruption.
Following this, Mr. Ngulube has
challenged Mr. Sangwa, who is his former
lecturer, not to just talk but actualise his
threat with action by writing to LAZ and the
Republican President about his decision
so that the judiciary could be notified of his
decision.
He warned Mr. Sangwa against being
used to fight other people’s battles but that
since he had veered onto the political arena,
he must officially join politics so that he
could be taken as an opponent.
“I am aware that recently JPS, as we used
is politics so that we take you on as our
Opposition. Hiding in the rank of State
Counsel to fight other people’s battles won’t
help. So if you are serious about it, write
to the Law Association of Zambia and the
Republican President so that the Judiciary
can be informed accordingly,” Mr. Ngulube
said.
He reminded Mr. Sangwa that the United
Party for National Development (UPND)
would soon be going for the convention and
that he would be of help if he contested the
position of party chairperson for legal affairs.
“In fact, the State you are attacking in the
media can be engaged through established
channels. Even in churches we have a chain
of communication. You can’t just stand up
and start punching everyone in the streets.
“ UPND is about to go for a convention.
They can give you a position such as
chairman of Legal Affairs since you
represented Mr. Hichilema in the 2016
election petition where you miscalculated
the 14 days,” he said.

Synod of Zambia deputy secretary
Reverend Doctor, Daniel Tembo
acknowledged that it was difficult to be
President and very few people appreciated

few people will appreciate,” said Rev. Doc.
Tembo.

He said as a church they were serious with
issues of peace and desired peace, clean

“We believe as a church we are a beacon

‘UPND HAS NO RESPECT FOR CHIEFS’

By ROGERS KALERO
THE failure by the opposition
UPND to condemn the
beating up of Chief
Nyakaseya by one of its
members in Ikelenge District
in North-western province
is a clear indication that
it is a violent party with
no respect for traditional

Mr Peter Sikazwe said the
UPND’s failure to apologize
and condemn the bad
language and violent conduct
of its cadres was a clear sign of
arrogance and lack of regard
for other people in society.
“Apologizing to a person
you have offended is a sign of
humility, but it is sad that our
colleagues in UPND don’t want
to apologize. The failure by

decided to cut rates by 25

market expectations.
This brings the repo to
3.5 percent, the lowest rate
since the repo system was
introduced in 1998. The
central bank has slashed
interest rates by 300 bps so

Some economists how-

He previously told Fin24

JOHANNESBURG - Credi-

little bit more time to com-

The plan stipulated that all
outstanding conditions had

on Friday 24 July to vote on
whether the plan could be

and a meeting of creditors
will be convened on July 30,

The unmet condition re-

lenders, that the guarantees
issued to them "shall con-

Creditors were informed
that meetings between gov-

the unmet condition, main-
ly trying to fit it into a "legal
framework" which is accept-

OPINION
Disrespecting traditional
leaders to gain political mileage
is un-African & suicidal
“IN the first place, President
Michael Sata de-gazetted me
and later President Lungu
gazetted me. I must not, how-
ever, ’’try to push my lucky
star too far,’’ because Mr.
Hakainde Hichilema and the
UPND have resolved accord-
ing to the Deputy National
Secretary-General Patrick
Mucheleka to dethrone me as
Mwinelubemba Chitimukulu
as soon as they step into the
corridors of power." Mwine
Lubemba Paramount Chief
Chitimukulu.
By DR. JOZE MANDA
AN insult against any tradi-
tional leader in Zambia, Bem-
ba, Tonga or any other is also
an insult against his or her
subjects and as such, whoev-
er is guilty of such an act must
be ready to suffer the conse-
quences that come with such
disrespect.
As a starting point, the
UPND must take disciplinary
action against Mucheleka
who is a senior member of
their Party to initiate a motion
of reconciliation with Mwin-
elubemba. They should avoid
coming out as more intelli-
gent and educated than oth-
ers with jargon quoted press
statements, failure to which
would mean the entire UPND
leadership agrees with the in-
sults attributed to Mucheleka.
It is also scary to note that
the official statement from
UPND also states that:- “We
have in the past demonstrated
our commitment and love to
SOME of our traditional lead-
ers in the country”. SOME,
NOT ALL, how so?
If anything, HH has com-
mitted political suicide by tak-
ing on the Chitimukulu and
it is very likely that Muchele-
ka couldn’t have issued that
statement without the bless-
ing of HH and leadership.
HH and Mucheleka must
understand that hate is a
contagious disease. Hate is
irrational and explosive nega-
tive energy. Failure to contain
it has led to needless loss of
lives. Many war-torn coun-
tries started as peaceful na-
tions. It took leadership failure
to destroy those nations.
HH must further under-
stand that tribal Wars or pol-
itics have never solved any
problem. At the end of the day,
we must all undergo “Intercul-
tural competence training.”
Peace is difficult to restore
once lost because the blood
of the slain is always crying for
revenge, hence the soil is spir-
itually defiled by bloodshed.
HH must not risk losing
the Bemba vote by letting his
senior members insult any
Bemba chief. The current
Chief Chitimukulu, Henry
Kanyanta Sosola is one of the
few Zambian chiefs who has
displayed immense wisdom
when it comes to govern-
ing his people and as well as
giving sound advice to his
subjects and the country as a
whole. We also need to appre-
ciate and understand that he
is also one of a few chiefs, like
Chief Mukuni who are very
intelligent and speak freely on
topics of national importance.
Incase HH has forgotten,
Unity and competition are the
cornerstones of the Bemba’s
successful political system.
Their unity lies in that the sev-
enteen gazetted chiefs and fif-
teen non-gazetted sub-chiefs
who are linked to one an-
other, not primarily through
subordination, but through a
complex and flexible kinship
between chiefs and sub-chiefs
themselves and then with a
total allegiance to a common
Mwinelubemba Chitimukulu.
The Chitimukulu is the old-
est name of a royal chief in
the Bemba dynasty. It is the
name carried by the most se-
nior members of the crocodile
totem and as such it demands
the most respect.
The sway of the Chitimuku-
lu is as much moral and spiri-
tual as temporal. His temporal
power too is the greatest of the
chiefs. He lives in and rules
Ulubemba, the stronghold
of the tribe and all appoint-
ments of chiefs to help him
hold the widening sphere of
Bemba rule comes from him.
Is this what HH wants to risk
through careless remarks by
his cronies?
All those who want to de-
stroy the Bemba chieftaincy
and tribe aim to break up
the unity and allegiance to
Mwinelubemba Chitimuku-
lu and create a weak Bemba
multi-chiefdoms tribe that
could easily be scrapped.
The greatest problem in
Zambia is that the ‘’educat-
ed’’ believe that they have
acquired knowledge in all
spheres of life. And to them
“education’’ is the master key
that can open all doors of life.
However, the truth is that you
cannot think a traditional
muddle clear: you have only
to obey it clear. As Alexander
Goldenweiser put it in his
book, Anthropology: An Intro-
duction to Primitive Culture:
‘’What the anthropologist
really deals with, then, is not
the past but the present…
people in general, and primi-
tive in particular, do not think
or analyse their culture they
live it. It never occurs to them
to synthesize what they live
or reduce it to a common de-
nominator, as it were.’’ (ibid.,
p.43).
In intellectual matters you
can think things out, but in
customary matters you think
yourself into cotton wool. The
point is that in cultural norms,
intellect or reason is not suf-
ficient to explain strong ele-
ments of ritual nature. This
is because ritual deals with
objective realities and definite
contents and demands. And
in this respect, the mystical
nature of chieftainship is an
extraordinarily eclectic disser-
tation particularly valuable in
that it allows western culture
to view itself from the out-
side, thereby permitting the
objectivity impossible for the
ignoramuses puffed up with
western accumulated book
knowledge whose opinions
and axioms are perverted.

ANTI- KAMPYONGO SCHEME SLAMMED

By SIMON MUNTEMBA
A TRADITIONAL ruler of
Shiwang’andu district has
condemned UPND Secretary
General Stephen Katuka
for conniving with a former
Matumbo ward councilor
to de-campaign area MP
Stephen Kampyongo using
lies.
In a telephone interview
from Shiwang’andu last Friday,
Mr Kampyongo
Sub-Chief Mushila said he
was aware that Mr. Katuka
had allegedly connived with
the named former Councilor
to mount a campaign of
falsehoods against Mr.
Kamyongo, who has developed
the area contrary to the duo’s
lies that Mr. Kamyongo has lost
popularity in the area because
of his alleged failure to develop
his constituency.
Chief Mushila said during his
tenure, Mr. Kamyongo has built
schools and recently opened
a health post at Malekani and
taken two ambulances to the
area.
He said Mr. Kamyongo, who
is also Home Affairs minister,
recently worked on the road
linking the chiefdom to other
parts of Shiwang’andu to
ensure smooth transportation of
patients and building materials
for various projects currently
under way in Shiwang’andu.
He said the construction of
schools has helped children
who did not have anywhere to
learn from.
“Just like the English saying
that eating a slice of bread
is better nothing, at least we
have seen what our area MP
has done. As sub chiefs we
are politically neutral but we
support the government of the
day which was democratically
elected. Zambia is being led
by a President who wants
to ensure that we don’t go
backwards on development,”
Chief Mushila said.
He advised politicians to
discard cheap politics which he
said were not adding any value
to national development.
“When we see development
we should thank government .
Please continue with the same
spirit so that we develop this
nation and exclude cheap
politics,” he said.
He also thanked President
Lungu for re-introducing the
One Zambia One Nation
slogan, saying it should not just
exist on paper but even through
action.

Money Management Lessons Begin From Home
– Making Time Count, That Time Is Now…
Maria Karima
Head - Corporate Affairs & Marketing
Investrust Bank Plc
Dear Reader,
We trust that you and your family are keeping
safe more than ever before as we fight
COVID -19 particularly now that the number
of cases are increasing at an alarming rate.
We continue to tell stories of how you can
include teamwork, prayer and sharing. In our
story today, we add Saving to the list. We
are saying that a family that saves together
becomes Money Smart together!
Saving Together
Saving together means that you plan your
finances as a family. It means that you include
your children in the planning. Remember
that it is not too early to teach your children
about money. When you start early enough,
you help to shape positive habits and instil
valuable money management lessons in
the lives of your children. You will not only
raise Money Smart adults, but you will also
help to create a prosperous future for them.
Getting Started – Have Powerful
Friendly Conversations
Begin by making your children understand
that most things cost money and that
managing a household involves money.
Let them understand that water, electricity,
food and taking them to school requires
money. Let them appreciate that this money
is earned. Please be sure not to make these
teachings so ‘hardcore’ like Accounting
classes make the lessons fun and easy for
them to assimilate without difficulties. Begin
and therefore a priority and that other things
are WANTS which they can do without and
can be considered after the NEEDS have
been taken care of.
Be Smart Role Models
Remember that kids form habits and attitudes
by watching and observing. This calls for
you as parents/guardians to demonstrate
good financial practices whenever possible.
You can, for instance, encourage your kids
to put some of the money they have earned
by performing chores aside as a build-up to
growing money to purchase something they
really fancy but cannot afford to purchase.
This way, they will learn that conducting cash
purchases as opposed to credit, is better.
You can also encourage them to compare
prices as they are saving towards something.
When you model positive financial decision-
making early enough in their lives, you are
helping them to avoid dangerous ills of debt
later in their lives.
When You Win – Reward Yourselves!
When you have achieved your saving goals
as a family, be sure to celebrate your success
by giving yourselves a treat. Remember that
this need not be very elaborate when you
don’t have enough money. Spend only what
you can afford or planned to spend on your
treat. Remember that saving is an activity and
not an amount. Start Small and Think Big!
From The IBP Family To Yours
You are family, we bet you eat, play and
pray together. We are saying, why not Save
together? Remember saving is a life skill, and
it is never too early to begin teaching your
children about it. As you set to do this, we
leave you with a summary of the following
key lessons essential in successfully making
Savings a Family Affair:
Miner buried alive
…as earth curves in
BY PETER MALASHA
AN ILLEGAL miner has died in Mkushi at former Sacko Mine
Limited after the earth collapsed and buried him alive.
Central province police commissioner Chola Katanga confirmed
the accident to the Daily Nation in an interview.
Mr. Katanga said the incident occurred on Friday between 16:00
and 17:00 hours whilst the victim was working.
Mr. Katanga identified the victim as Enock Mupeta 22, of an
unknown address in Itala compound. Mr. Katanga further said after
police in conjunction with the fire brigade rushed to the scene where
the body was retrieved and pronounced dead upon reaching Mkushi
district hospital.
Mr. Katanga added that the body was deposited at Mkushi district
hospital mortuary awaiting postmortem.
“Brief facts of the matter are that the victim was working at the
Sacko mine. Between 16:00 and 17:00 hours the earth collapsed
and buried him alive,” said Mr. Katanga. Sacko Mine Limited was
formerly owned by Sacko Bassi who has been deported to his native
land Mali after allegedly abrogating Zambian laws.
Meanwhile, two grandchildren aged 10 and 12 have discovered
the body of their grandfather murdered by unknown people in
Mkushi. The incident occurred on Friday between 08:00hours and
12:00hours at Katwishi area. Central province police commissioner
Chola Katanga confirmed the suspected murder in an interview.
Mr. Katanga identified the victim as Isaac Chibwe 73,of Katwishi
area who was found dead at home. Mr. Katanga further said police
visited the scene and discovered that the victim had cuts on the
head. “The victim sustained cuts on the head as a blunt object is
suspected to have been used in inflicting the injuries.
“Brief facts of the matter are that the victim was at home and was
discovered dead by his grandchildren aged 10 and 12 years old
between 08:00 and 12:00 hours.” Mr. Katanga said.

during this difficult time. Strict adherence
to health and other guidelines cannot be
overemphasised at this point.
We are encouraged to support initiatives that
have been put in place to protect us from
the ravages of the COVID -19 pandemic.
In today’s story, we focus on how we can
maximise the time that we are spending
with our children seeing that their playing
time and visitations to friends’/other family
members’ homes are restricted. We share a
brilliant idea of how you can introduce lessons
about Money Management as you help your
children with their e-learning. Make this time
count. Make Money Talk/Lessons a family
affair during this time and set your family on
a path to financial success, there can be no
better time than now to teach your children
about money and the importance of saving.
For purposes of this story, it is important
that we have a common understanding of
‘family’ because the word is a powerful one
that invokes multiple different meanings and
emotions. Family means different things to
different people. Let’s work with the following
definition: “A family is a group of two people
or more (one of whom is the householder)
related by birth, marriage, or adoption and
residing together.” To some, family goes
beyond this to include friends, and in some
cases, friends are deemed to ‘mean’ more
than family. If you understand Bemba, the
proverb ‘ukwangala kwachila ulupwa’ loosely
translated as ‘friendship surpasses family’
couldn’t be more appropriate.
Shared Values And Beliefs
Whichever way one views/defines family,
we believe that the underlying principle has
a lot to do with shared values/beliefs. This
translates into families sharing values that
shape the way they live. Some of these values
does not fall from heaven and that it does
not grow on trees. You can also assign them
with responsibilities to monitor expenditure
– some can be tasked to ensure that they
monitor electricity usage by seeing to it that
appliances are totally switched off when
not in use. In addition, they can also be
tasked to compare monthly usage which
they should analyse and thereafter make
suggestions of how improvements can be
achieved. You can also allow them to keep a
record of money spent each time electricity
units are purchased. Other children can be
in charge of monitoring the food budget or
entertainment budget. Let them keep a trail
of how much you spend when you take them
for treats and have consistent discussions
regarding how you are spending money
collectively. Empower them with decision-
making skills by giving them the opportunity
to make independent suggestions of how
the spending can be controlled. Remember
to keep the process simple. Granted, young
children are not expected to make financial
contributions, they are however expected to
contribute something around your home.
This contribution takes the form of chores
assigned to them. When your children start
work whilst staying with you, they need
to contribute financially to the household
expenses, and you must ensure that this
happens.
Plan Together
Set goals together and plan - for instance, at
the beginning of the year. Discuss what your
priorities are for the year and remember to
make these detailed. Each member of the
family can itemise their needs for school such
as school bags, books and shoes. They can
also indicate items such as special clothes
for parties or church and treats ranging from
movies to eating out. At this stage, you must
ensure that they understand that some
is important.
• Set goals and plan.
• Live within your means as a family.
• Optimise your home – use resources
well, share tips on how you can control
things like water and electricity usage.
• You are a unique family – adopt Saving
strategies what work for you, don’t be
afraid to try out new strategies that you
discover along the way.
• Money, when not well managed, has a
damaging effect on relationships – your
family deserves better!
Discuss money freely as a family, and
please do not avoid this subject. Saving
as a family and teaching your family great
skills regarding positive use of money will
be beneficial to you for many years to come.
As the Investrust Bank Plc (IBP) family, we
wish your family all the joy and success that
come with managing money well today for
a better tomorrow. Be a Money Smart family
to live a better life.
Please be sure to stay safe. Until next week,
stay blessed and be a blessing to others!

political parties
By GRACE CHAILE LESOETSA
THE State has told the
Constitutional Court that there
has been no violation of the
constitutional requirements
by political parties in terms
of them holding free and fair
elections regularly, that would
give need for the Registrar of
Societies to deregister them.
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.
He is seeking an order
and declaration that any
political party which was
registered and in existence
as of January 5, 2016 and
which has not promoted and
practiced 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. 2 of 2016.
Mr Mwelwa therefore,
seeks a declaration that such
political parties ceased to exist
as political parties in Zambia
on January 4, 2017. He cited
Attorney General, Likando
Kalaluka and the Electoral
MMD have joined the matter as
interested parties.
In its answer to Mr Mwelwa’s
petition, the State through
Thandiwe Phiri-Mhende, a
principal State advocate from the
Attorney General’s chambers,
argued that neither the
constitution or any law enacted,
proscribes that elections for
political parties need to be held
within 12 months.
“The constitution merely
directs that tenets of democracy
should be upheld by all political
parties but how or when that
is done is not prescribed,” Ms
Phiri-Mhende said.
She stated that there had been
no violation of the constitutional
requirements by political parties
in so far as holding party
elections to warrant them being
reregistered by the Registrar of
Societies.
Meanwhile, the PF through
their Secretary General Davis
Mwila, argued that that its
party constitution gives the party
president power to appoint the
Secretary General.
Mr Mwila denied that the same
is unconstitutional.
He urged the court to dismiss
Mr Mwelwa’s claims in so far as
the PF is concerned. He wants
the court to make a declaration
that the PF has complied with the
provisions of Article 60 (2) (d) of
the Constitution of Zambia Act
No 1 of 2016.

SOUTH AFRICA JAILBREAK: North Korea on alert

...prison inmates rearrested
A
LL 68 inmates who
escaped from a jail in
South Africa's West-
ern Cape on Friday have
been rearrested, the govern-
ment says.
Prison officials were
praised for "restoring sta-
bility" following a two-day
manhunt. The break-out
happened after inmates at
Malmesbury Prison "over-

ercise session.
They then locked three of-

other prisoners and escap-

said. Previous reports said
they had escaped while be-
ing transferred to court for
trial.
South Africa's prison
body had originally said 69
inmates escaped, but the
department of justice on
Sunday said they were 68 in
total.
According to local news
site EWN, the reason for
this confusion was that one
inmate presumed to have
escaped had in fact "moved
to a different cell during the
chaos and never left the fa-
cility".
Part of the escape was
caught on camera by a

CIVIC EDUCATION Topic: Zambia’s Legal System
On today’s pupil’s forum in Civic Education, will look at a topic:Zambia’s Legal System. This topic will focus
on Law, Elements of good legal system and sources of Zambian law. This topic is at grade eleven (11)
level of the Zambian curriculum. At the end of this discussion, learners will be required to answer questions.
Zambia’s Legal System
The Law
• The Law is a set of rules, which a society develops for itself to control the behaviour of its members to
one another.
• It also includes the meting out of punishment to members of society that do not abide by the rules and
the awarding of compensation to people who have been wronged.
• Without law, society as we know it would be impossible because freedom without boundaries results
in anarchy, which means total confusion. From the time that human beings are born, their lives, safety,
health and peace are controlled by law.
Elements of a good legal system
A good legal system is one that serves members of its society fairly without violating their rights. There are
six core elements that should be present in a good legal system. A good legal system has to be:
• Simple (Uncomplicated)
A law has to be written in a language that can be easily understood by a large section of society. The
form of language and the level of difficulty should suit the needs of the majority of citizens.
• Comprehensive (Inclusive)
It should not leave gaps but attempt to cover all possible areas of dispute, concern or debate. It should
anticipate future problems and include them in the laws. It should not be constantly formulating new
laws as wrongful acts take place.
• Certain (Definite)
Citizens ought to know clearly what is prohibited by law. A law should not be so ambiguous or vague
that it is only fully understood and interpreted by a small number of people in society. It should therefore
be documented so that it is possible to refer to it and that it should be clear to everyone who consults
it.
• Accessible (Obtainable)
It should be readily available to members of the public. This means that it should also be affordable. If
citizens come into conflict with the law, they should be able to afford legal representation. Similarly, a
wronged person should be able to readily access legal means of having their problem dealt with. If the
legal system is not affordable, then it excludes a large number of people.
• Flexible (Adaptable)
Laws have to keep up with social change and therefore, they should change with time. If a type of
dispute which was not there previously comes up, the law should change to take care of any new
challenge. If it does not, then it is rejecting change. A good law should not reject change.
• Moral Values (Ethical)
The law should be based on the moral values of society. If laws do not reflect society’s core values,
citizens are unlikely to respect and uphold it.
Sources of Law in Zambia
Sources of law are the starting point to refer to in order to find what the law says when one is faced with a
legal problem. Zambia has a dual legal system and relies on the English Law and African Customary Law.
i. English Law Sources
• Common Law is one of the Laws that Zambia has adopted. Common Law is the Law that started
from customs that were common to all parts of England.
• England applied this Common Law to its colonies such as Zambia and after independence this
became part of the sources of law of the Zambian legal system.
ii. Legislation
Legislation or statutes is the largest source of law in Zambia. These are laws enacted by parliament.
All powers to make laws are vested in parliament. There are three types of laws made by legislation.
a) The Constitution
• The Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land. Article 1 Paragraph 3 of the 1996 Amended Zambian
Constitution states out its supremacy.
• It states, This Constitution is the Supreme Law of Zambia and if any other law is inconsistency of this
law, that other law will be declared void.
• This implies that if any law does not conform to the Constitution, then that law becomes invalid
b) Acts of Parliament
• Acts of Parliament are laws made through bills passed by the National Assembly and assented by the
President.
• The process begins with the presentation of a bill in the National Assembly and passes through three
Reading Stages before being sent to the President to either veto or withhold his or assent.
• If he/she assents, the bill is gazetted and becomes law.
• If the President does not sign, the bill is sent back to the National Assembly.
• The National Assembly can either debate further or make changes or it can send back to the President
in its original form.
• When this happens, the President has 21 days in which to either assent or dissolve Parliament to
pave way for fresh elections.
c) Delegated or Subsidiary Legislation

• The National Assembly can either debate further or make changes or it can send back to the President
in its original form.
• When this happens, the President has 21 days in which to either assent or dissolve Parliament to
pave way for fresh elections.
c) Delegated or Subsidiary Legislation
• Delegated or subsidiary legislation are laws delegated to the Executive wing of the government to
make as provided for in an act of parliament.
• The law recognized that it would not be possible for parliament to make all laws.
• Parliament has allowed government ministers to make laws. For example, the Education Act allows
the Minister of Education, through consultations to issue government circulars that become law.
iii. Case Law
• This is the second largest source of law in Zambia.
• It is also known as Law Reports or Judicial Precedent.
• This is when, in disposing of a case, the court refers to how a similar case was decided upon by a
superior court.
• In Zambia, superior courts are the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, the High Court and the
Industrial Relations Court.
• The High Court and the Industrial Relations Court are at the same level, the difference is in the type
of matters they handle.
• The High Court handles criminal and civil cases while the Industrial Relations Court handles
employment or labour disputes. The four courts handle appeal cases and are therefore known as
appellant courts.
• The Magistrate Courts and the Local Courts are lower courts.
• The decisions of the appellant courts are reported in the Zambia Law Reports.
• Decisions of the appellant courts are binding on subordinate courts.
• For example, if a case handled by the Supreme Court is recorded in the Law Reports, this decision is
binding on the High Court and the Industrial Relations Court. The imaginary case below illustrates this
point:
Case Laws are important because they:
i. Save time as there is no need for a whole new research.
ii. Show respect to the judges who made the previous decisions.
iii. Ensure equality, uniformity and stability in the law. If a murder case takes place and a decision is
made, when another murder case takes place in similar circumstances the same decision as the first
murder case should apply regardless of who committed the offence.
iv. International Treaties
• Zambia is signatory to a number of International Treaties.
• The contents of these treaties are the sources of Law.
• Note that in order for these International treaties to become Law they have to be domesticated through
an Act of Parliament in order to officially become Zambian Statutes.
Note: we have two types of legal systems in the world namely; Monist and Dualist. Dualist legal
system which recognises International Law as law but does not apply directly on the country
not until it is domesticated through an Act of Parliament while Monist Legal system considers
International and domestic law as one.
v. Customary Law
• Customary Law is derived from custom, which is the practice of doing things in society.
• These practices differ from the ones in Statutory Instruments because they are not written and not
codified.
• Before Zambia was colonised, the indigenous people were using their customs, most of which have
been in use from prehistoric times, as their law.
• For a custom to be recognised and enforced by the courts as law, it must be in existence for a long
time, sometimes over centuries and it must be freely accepted by most citizens for it to be binding
on them.
• Most Zambians are governed by customary law in their personal affairs.
• The local courts which administer customary law are located all over the country and they are the
ones commonly used by the less privileged and the vulnerable in society.
• They are easily accessible and conducted mainly in local languages, although English is also
allowed. As a result, local courts hear 80% of the total cases brought before all the courts in the court
system annually. Customary law is also applied in traditional courts, which are presided over by
traditional rulers.
• Customary law uses advisors who are called assessors to give advice on particular matters.
• These assessors are not extra Justices but play the role of a consultant. For example, if a court is
about to hear a case involving a Lamba customary law, it could invite a Lamba person of suitable
character and social status to sit as an assessor for that particular case only.
• The advice of assessors is given in open court so that everyone can hear it and that the persons
concerned shall be able to respond or bring evidence on matters after such advice is given.

Inequality fight gains momentum
By SANFROSSA MANYINDA
IN the quest to fight inequal-
ity, the first of the 2020 na-
tional gathering for the Fight
Inequality Alliance Zambia
(FIAZ) has commenced its
gathering.
FIAZ is a global movement
of people who are fighting in-
equality to beat poverty and
injustice using online and of-
fline technologies in order to
increase voices
FIA National Coordinator,
Daisy Lutangu, told the Daily
Nation in Kitwe that the na-
tional gathering which was
supposed to take place last
March was postponed to pro-
tect the participants and the
general citizenry from Covid
-19. Ms Lutangu said the pro-
gramme was going ahead in
order to ensure that obstacles
in fighting inequality were
removed to ensure advocacy
and other programmes suc-
ceeded.
She said the participants
would be sharing skills
around digital mobilization
in the wake of the outbreak of
Covid-19. And Oxfam Media
and Communications Man-
the Daily Nation, Zesco Pub-
lic Relations Manager Hazel
Zulu said it happened near
Franciscan Convent School in
Mitengo.
"This is of great concern to
us because, instead of con-
centrating on new projects,
we keep drawing backwards
trying to replace the vandal-
ised items," she said.
Ms Zulu has warned that
the power utility company
was on high alert and that
vandals would be arrested
and tried in the courts of law
in order to secure convictions
on thieves.
She also appealed to mem-
bers of the public to remain
vigilant and report suspicious
people who she said also lived
in the same communities as
them.
The fight against inequalities involved mobilisation, advocacy and
sharing experiences among the people living in communities.
ager, Misozi Tembo, said that
the digital democracy was
worth exploring because it
enhanced the quality of de-
mocracy.
Ms Tembo said that digi-

meaningful and inclusive di-

and the citizenry and that it

munities at the frontlines in-

CUBA REBELLION DAY: 26 July
...the Castro brothers joined with other exiles in Mexico to prepare for the overthrow of Batista,
receiving training from Alberto Bayo, a leader of Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War.
I
T is a public holiday in
Cuba and one of the
most important dates
as the 1st January when
the Revolution guided by
Fidel Castro took power in
Cuba. 26th July reminds ev-
ery one of the 1953 brave
assault on the Moncada and
Céspedes garrisons in Ori-
ente, Cuba, which although
unsuccessful at that time,
initiated the CUBA rebel-
lion that drove out Batista´s
dictatorship from power 5
years later.
Fulgencio Batista, a for-
mer soldier and sergeant,
became president on 10th
March 1952, after seizing
power in a military coup and
canceling what could be the
1952 elections. During his
time Batista proved to be
dictatorial and indifferent
to popular concerns, and
closely allied to the United
States. While Cuba remained
plagued by corruption, high
unemployment and limited
infrastructure, Batista an-
tagonized the population
by forming lucrative links to
organized crime and allow-
ing American companies to
dominate Cuban economy,
especially sugar-cane plan-
tations, sugar mills, rail-
ways, factories, mines and
other local resources, which
served only the local bour-
geoisie, the American inves-
tors and the majority of the
population in abject igno-
rance and poverty.
Cuba Rebellion
Traditions and
Activities
The Cuban Revolution was
the right response to that
state of affairs, an armed re-
volt conducted by Fidel Cas-
tro's revolutionary 26th of
July Movement against the
authoritarian and pro yan-
kee Batista´s government.
Numerous key Movement
revolutionaries, including
Castro brothers, were cap-
tured shortly after the as-
sault. In a highly political
trial, Fidel spoke for nearly
four hours in his defense,
ending with the words "Con-
demn me, it does not matter.
History will absolve me."
Castro's defense was based
on nationalism, the rep-
resentation and beneficial
programs for the non-elite
Cubans, and his patriotism
and justice for the Cuban
community. Fidel was sen-
tenced to 15 years in the Pre-
sidio Modelo prison, located
on Isla de Pinos, while Raúl
was sentenced to 13 years.
However, in 1955, under
broad political pressure, the
Batista government declared
an amnesty and freed all
political prisoners in Cuba,
including the Moncada at-
tackers.
Monday
27 July, 2020
Soon, the Castro brothers
joined with other exiles in
Mexico to prepare for the
overthrow of Batista, receiv-
ing training from Alberto
Bayo, a leader of Republican
forces in the Spanish Civil
War. In June 1955, Fidel met
in México the Argentine rev-
olutionary Ernesto "Che"
Guevara, who joined his
cause.
The revolutionaries
named themselves the "26th
of July Movement", in ref-
erence to the date of their
attack on the Moncada Bar-
racks in 1953.
Guerrilla warfare
The Granma yacht departed
from Tuxpan, Veracruz, Mex-
ico, on 25 November 1956,
carrying the Castro broth-
ers and 80 others including
Ernesto "Che" Guevara and
Camilo Cienfuegos, even
though the yacht was only
designed to accommodate
12 people with a maximum
of 25. The yacht arrived in
Cuba on 2nd December in
Playa Las Coloradas, in the
municipality of Niquero,

wide range of progressive
social reforms, to provide
equality for black Cubans
and greater rights for wom-
en, to improve communica-
tions, medical and health fa-
cilities, housing, and educa-
tion. By the end of the 1960s,
all Cuban children were
receiving free education,
unemployment and corrup-
tion were reduced, and great
improvements were made in
hygiene and sanitation. Fidel
dedicated many of his years
to develop equality among
Afro-Cubans. His anti-dis-
crimination legislation was
his first and major attempt
to give equality to the people
of Cuba. His many reforms
(healthcare, education, and
equality) gave opportunities
to those Afro-Cubans who
lived in poverty because of
the racial discrimination in
Cuba.

wellbeing – that is, the same
rights we proclaimed when
we began our struggle, in
addition to those which
emerge from our dreams of
justice and equality for all
inhabitants of the world.
One of the many expressions
of our solidarity can be seen
in the thousands of foreign
scholarship students grad-
uated in Cuba since 1961,
thousand of them from Afri-
can countries.
The Cuban Revolution
had powerful domestic and
international repercussions
and started a deep process
of economic and social
transformations in the Cu-
ban society with the option
of socialism as the only way
to build a better, fair and
more equitably society. In
particular, it transformed
Cuba's relationship with
the United States, although
efforts to improve diplo-
matic relations have gained
momentum in recent years,
the American government
persist in its cruel economic,
financial and trade blockade
policy and sanctions against
Cuba, reinforced under the
Trump administration.
The Cuban Revolution
also heralded an era of in-
ternationalist support to
other countries during the
struggle fighting for their
independence and freedom,
including African countries
like Angola, Guinea Bissau,
Congo, Mozambique, Zim-
babwe, Namibia, South Afri-
ca, etc. Today that solidarity
is symbolized by sending of
Cuban Medical Brigades to
friendly countries to fight
diseases and pandemic as
the Covid-19. This is the leg-
acy of 26th July uprising and
our modest tribute to that
historical date which made
it possible for the Cuban
Revolution.
We are proud and hap-
py of our history of Span-
ish and African routes and
values which make our cul-
ture stronger and rich, and
as such we never forget the
great importance and far
reaching significance of 26th
July.
Today, the Cuban govern-
ment under the leadership
of President Miguel Díaz-
Canel is a continuation of
the one headed by Fidel and
Raúl Castro, widely support-
ed and represented by the
Cuban people, struggling to
build a better and harmoni-
ous society for everyone. 26th
July is celebrated in Cuba
as the Day of the Revolution
and every year it is more
alive than ever.
