POWER CHINA STEPS IN
….pledges to end loadshedding through signed agreement of additional 720 mega watts

By Sam Phiri

China has pledged to help Zambia find a lasting solution to end loadshedding through the signed agreements aimed at generating at least additional 720 mega watts.

Chinese Ambassador to Zambia Han Jing says once the projects are completed, the country is expected to have sustainable power supply.

Speaking during a Press Briefing today at the 2024 summit of the forum on China Africa Cooperation, Mr Jing said among 10 corporations that have been signed, one is the agreement for supplying delivery and installations of rooftop solar system projects in Zambia between Zesco and Power China.

Mr. Jing however clarified that the 720 mega watts excludes rooftop solar systems but incorporates various other energy projects such as the Kariba north solar photovoltaic power plant, Kafue gorge lower solar photovoltaic power plant among others.

He said China understands that access to electricity supply is at the centre of Zambia’s social and economic development.

Mr Jing has therefore encouraged more Chinese businesses, especially the largest power suppliers in China to actively engage Zambian partners in solar energy resources.

On the signing of the MOU for the revitalization of the TAZARA corridor, Mr Jing said this will not only serve as a dynamic economic corridor for regional economic and social development but also a symbol of traditional friendship.

Mr Jing also announced that in the next three years, China is expected to deliver 1000 small poverty reduction projects through agricultural development.

He has further encouraged Chinese businesses in Africa to create not less than 1 million local jobs and 60,000 training opportunities for Africans.

A 27-year-old man of Chief Waitwika village in Nakonde District has been arrested for allegedly defiling a two-year-old girl.

It is alleged that today around 07:00 hours, the victim’s aunt Silvia Silupungwe sent the victim to their neighbor only identified as bana Elizabeth’s place to buy biscuits (one pack) for K1

However, the child could not return back as expected and she followed her to bana Elizabeth's place where she was informed that the child had gone back a while ago.

This prompted the aunt to start searching for the child until she met Happy Siwale, now the suspect coming out of the bush with the child who was crying uncontrollably.

When she confronted him as to how he found himself with the child and what happened to her , he failed to give any explanation.

She then decided to inspect the child’s private parts and discovered that the child had bruises on her private parts.

Ms. Silupungwe managed to apprehend the suspect with the help of other community members, and took him to Nakonde Police post where the matter was reported.

Muchinga Province Police Commanding Officer Dennis Moola who confirmed the incident said officers issued a medical report form to the minor for medical examination and treatment.

“The victim sustained bruises on the va**na and anus,” said Mr. Moola.

RE results shock Syakalima

By Ruth Kambita

Minister of Education Douglas Syakalima is shocked that candidates who sat for 2024 General Certificate of Education (G.C.E) examination could record the poorest results in Religious Education.

Mr Syakalima said despite Zambia being a Christian Nation and the President Hakainde Hichilema preaching on good values, the results show otherwise.

Speaking when he announced the 2024 GCE results in Lusaka today, Mr Syakalima directed his Permanent Secretary Joe Kamoko to probe the matter further.

In announcing the results, Mr Syakalima said the G.C.E examination results have posted an increase in the pass rate compared to last year.

He said this is despite the fact that both the Junior Secondary School external (JSE) and GCE examinations were conducted without any leakages.

Mr Syakalima said despite recording nil leakages, eight examination centers have been suspended indefinitely for engaging in examination malpractices.

He said out of 138,084 that sat for GCE examination, 120, 660 representing 87.38 percent passed in at least one subject, while 17, 424 (12.62 percent) failed all the subjects they sat for.

Mr Syakalima said this is taking into consideration those candidates at GCE level who could sit for a minimum of one subject.

“Compared to 2023, the pass rate indicated an increase of 6.48 percentage points. Further, 24.72 percent (3, 649) of the 14,764 candidates who sat for five subjects or more, obtained the general certificate of education, while 5.12 percent (756) of them failed all the subjects they sat for," he said.

Mr Syakalima said a total of 149,920 candidates entered for the 2024 general certificate of education examination, showing an increase by 1.55 percent from 147,629 who registered for the same examination in 2023.

He commended the Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ), security wings and all other stakeholders who contributed towards the successful conduct of the leakage free examinations.

He further said this is the first time examinations are set, marked, results released and markers paid in full.

The Minister said results are now accessible through the SMS results notification system and that candidates will be able to access statements of results online from the ECZ portal using their examination numbers starting on September 16, 2024.

Motorbike deaths surge in Chipata

By Sam Phiri

Chipata City of Eastern Province has recorded a spike in a number of fatal motorbike accidents with the latest statistics indicating 11 deaths in one week.

Eastern Province Commanding Officer Robertson Mweemba says most victims of the accidents are young people aged between 15 and 20 years old.

He says Police in Chipata have intensified road patrols in an effort to bring down the number of accidents.

Mr Mweemba tells Real Times that almost every single day there is an accident which in most cases results in death.

“The major problem is that these young people are too excited on the road and would want to ignore the highway code, in fact most of them don’t even wear helmets saying they are hot,” he says.

Mr Mweemba said due to a huge number of motorcycles related accidents, a ward has been specially dedicated and named after a motorbike brand at Chipata General Hospital.

He says his officers will now go flat-out to caution all those that will be seen abrogating the traffic rules.

By Sam Phiri

Two Chinese nationals who were found in possession of 29.9 kilograms of gold and USD 200,000 concealed in door panels have been fined K100,000 each with the gold money and car forfeited to the state.

This was after the couple pleaded guilty to the charge of conveying property suspected to have been proceeds of crime before Lusaka Chief Resident Magistrate Davis Chibwili in Lusaka today.

During mitigation, the lawyer representing the two Chinese nationals Mwansa Chambaila asked for lenience and a non custodial sentence for his clients as they were first offenders.

In passing the final verdict, Magistrate Chibwili said it was true that the couple was a first offender who did not waste courts time by pleading guilty as first instance hence slapping them with a fine of K200, 000 or nine months simple imprisonment.

Brief facts of the matter are that on August 12, 2024, a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado bearing a Zimbabwean number plate was suspected of transporting precious stones.

Acting swiftly on this information, the police impounded the vehicle, which was driven by Zhao Changson, aged 58, accompanied by Zhao Yanjing, aged 46, both Chinese.

Inspector General of Police Graphel Musamba said a thorough search of the vehicle was conducted on August 13, 2024.

According to Mr Musamba, investigations revealed that the suspects were Chinese nationals residing in Harare, Zimbabwe, where they are engaged in the business of selling fencing wire.

ZRA story

ZRA in K1million evaded tax recovery

By Ruth Kambita

The Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) has recovered over K 1,493,000 million, from Stephane Mining Imports and Exports Limited.

This comes after the Economic and Financial Crimes Court in Kitwe sentenced and convicted Stephane Mining Imports and Exports Limited for the offence of making false representation, contrary to the Laws of Zambia.

Facts of the case are that Stephane Mining Imports and Exports Limited, between January 1, 2024 and March 30, 2024 in Kitwe, on the Copperbelt, jointly and whilst acting together with others unknown, did make false representations to the Zambia Revenue Authority by declaring on bills of entry that Zinc concentrate was exported out of Zambia when in fact it was Zinc Ore which was exported, thereby defrauding the Government of revenue amounting to K1,493,307.52.

This meant that Stephane Mining Imports and Exports Limited avoided paying export duty thereby defrauding government of revenue.

The six trucks laden with Zinc Ore were intercepted by the Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA).

When the case came up for plea and commencement of trial yesterday, the mining firm informed the court that they wanted to invoke the provisions of the Plea Negotiations Act Number 20 of 2010 to which the state did not object, provided the accused paid in full, the evaded taxes.

The accused paid the said amounts to ZRA and was also ordered to refund the cost incurred by the State in prosecuting the case in the sum of K100,000.

The court further ordered that the six trucks and 110 bags of Copper Ore seized be released to the tax Authority and be dealt with pursuant to section 162 and 163 of the Customs and Excise Act, Chapter 322 of the Laws of Zambia.

ZRA Senior Corporate Communications Officer Harriet Mwiinga says cases of Making false representation are on the rise, and ZRA has since strengthened its monitoring mechanisms to detect tax fraud.

She said taxpayers found wanting will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Ambassador Nogueira has since extended an invitation to Zambia to join the Global Alliance Against Hunger and Poverty before November 2024 and become one of its founding members.

Mr Nogueira said the Global Alliance will bring together all the expertise accumulated over decades with income transfer, social protection, school feeding and other programs, based on the experience of several countries and international organizations.

He said the initiative is open to membership from countries, including countries that are not part of the G20.

Mr Nogueira noted that food security and the fight against hunger are also issues of the utmost importance for Zambia.

“Sadly, we also know that the drought which is ravaging the country has been causing shortages in food,”

“At this challenging time, I want to emphasize that Brazil is ready for more partnerships, for the benefit of Brazilian and Zambian societies,” he said.

Mr Nogueira said Brazil hopes to continue working with Zambia, an African leader in the fight against climate change.

He said approximately 300,000 families involved in cotton production and marketing in Zambia shall benefit from the Brazilian technology which will be transferred to Zambian stakeholders, especially small farmers.

Mr Nogueira said Brazil is about to provide a humanitarian cooperation package of 100 portable water purifiers and one ton of nutritional dehydrated meals to Zambia.

Meanwhile, Minister of Youth, Sport and Arts Elvis Nkandu who graced the occasion, applauded Brazil for the remarkable social, economic and scientific transformation and the progress that it has recorded over the past two decades which has seen Zambia to become a major player in global international affairs.

Man, 79, defiles granddaughter 10

By Ruth Kambita

A 76-year- old man of Kapoko village in Kanchibiya District is currently on the run after he allegedly defiled his 10-year-old granddaughter.

The distressing allegations have sparked a manhunt by the police command in Muchinga Province, who has urged the public to come forward with any information.

According to information available so far, the suspect identified as Amon Mpopolo took advantage of the minor after her mother and father went to the local market to sell sugarcane.

The child victim was left behind with the grandfather and her 12-year-old elder sister.

Muchinga Province Police Commanding Officer Dennis Moola who confirmed the incident disclosed that the parents to the girl had a quick sale, resulting in the victim’s father, Joseph Kola to rush back home to collect more of the merchandise.

“When he arrived home (Kola), he found the elder sister of the victim sleeping outside the house while the victim was coming out of the house with blood oozing down her legs.” said Mr. Moola.

Mr. Moola said the father of the girl was further surprised to see the grandfather of the victim also coming out of the same house trying to escape.

He said upon seeing this, the father of the victim called Mr. Mpopolo back and asked him why the child was bleeding but expressed ignorance.

This prompted the father of the victim to call his wife to come and check her daughter and the mother confirmed that the victim was bleeding from the private parts and decided to take her to a health facility.

Mr. Moola said the medical examination confirmed that the girl was indeed defiled, but that the grandfather is currently on the run.

If charged and found guilty, Mpopolo might spend the rest of his remaining years behind bars.

Back-to-life puzzle

... EP Police prepare to rip open grave to help solve mystery of 'resurrected woman'

By Sam Phiri

Police in Eastern Province are waiting for a Lusaka based state pathologist to solve the puzzle of a mystery surrounding a 21-year-old woman who is reported to have died and buried in 2019 but was discovered alive.



The woman is said to have committed su***de by taking maize preserving chemical after differing with the mother.



Eastern Province Police Commanding Officer Robertson Mweemba says he is expecting the state pathologist to arrive in Eastern province next week.



He says as police their interest is to find out what is in the grave of the woman that is said to have been buried.



“It is alleged that after the woman died the family and friends took the body for burial the following day but at the graveyard there was a serious whirlwind which made people scamper in all directions,” he said.



Mr Mweemba however said after the wind had calmed down the burial proceeded and that the woman was confirmed buried.



However Mr Mweemba said what sparked suspicions of mystery around the woman's death was the disappearance of food in the house whenever the family left some in the night.



This led them to seek for some spiritual interventions from a local pastor to help unbundle the mystery.



“The parents started going to the mountains for prayers with the very pastor Ruben Kalima who assured them that their daughter was very much alive, it is quite funny to hear of such a story that someone has resurrected,” he said.



Mr Mweemba said after one of the brothers to the late woman's father confirmed that the woman was indeed alive.

He said arrangement were made to pick the woman from the village where she was located and brought to Mugubudu Police Post where it was confirmed that she was ‘alive.’



Mr Mweemba however said police will not confirm if indeed that is the woman that died and was buried until the state pathologist does the investigations.

KATETE FACES WATER CRISIS
… as the local dam which is the main source of the commodity records significant low levels

By Hope Bwalya

Katete District in Eastern Province is on the brink of a severe water crisis as the Eastern Water and Sanitation Company (EWSC) reports critically low water levels in the local dam, which is the primary source for the district’s water supply.

Katete District Commissioner Raphael Phiri who made an on the spot check of the dam has called for immediate alternative measures, warning that the district has less than two weeks before it is hit by a critical water shortage.

The Dam has a maximum holding capacity of 1.1 million cubic meters but it is currently standing around 1, 070 cubic meters, representing only three percent of water hence the impending water crisis.

“I am here at the Katete Dam to make a distress call about the situation of water in Katete. This is the dam that supplies water to the whole of Katete Township but the situation is completely out of hand. We may even safely say that in the next one or maximum two weeks, Katete will completely run out of water,” said Mr. Phiri.

Meanwhile, Katete District EWSC Manager Juju Ndhlovu who confirmed that the dam has less water for abstraction explained the magnitude of the situation.

“We have now reached the last point of abstracting water that feeds into our treatment plant for processes before we can distribute this water to the community of Katete. What it means is that at some point we will completely stop taking water through the intake point because then it will be above the surface of water and the water will be below it,” Mr. Ndhlovu said.

Mr. Ndhlovu said due to the low water levels, the district was currently rationing water from its 24/7 water supply schedule to three hours water supply.

“At the moment because of the low water levels at the dam, we are even rationing water supply to the people of Katete. Initially we started rationing to six hours but now we have reduced to three hours per day,” said Mr. Ndhlovu.
