GODAZA CALLS FOR RECONCILIATION FOCUS BETWEEN GOVERNMENT, CHURCH

Governance and Development Advocates Zambia (GODAZA) has called on the government and the Church to begin the year with a focus on reconciliation to achieve the meaningful development that President Hakainde Hichilema has embarked on.

GODAZA Executive Director Elias Mulenga stated that as Zambia moves forward in 2025, the Church and government must shift their focus from individual personalities to the collective needs of the citizens they serve.

He called on influential church leaders in Zambia to unite with President Hichilema to champion the fundamental principles of reconciliation and unity that the Church embodies.

Mulenga emphasised that reconciliation between the Church and President Hichilema’s government is crucial for fostering national unity and promoting social and economic development in Zambia.

He noted that this collaboration benefits the entire nation by enhancing the delivery of essential services such as education and healthcare, areas where the Church has historically played a significant role.

Mulenga highlighted that a harmonious relationship between the government and religious institutions can strengthen efforts toward peace, stability, and sustainable growth, ultimately improving the well-being of all Zambian citizens.

GRZ URGES CSOs in CENTRAL PROVINCE TO JOIN ZAMBIA NGO WASH FORUM FOR COORDINATED VOICE

Government has urged Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Central Province to join the Zambia NGO WASH Forum to coordinate efforts, avoid duplication of activities, and share lessons through various stakeholder engagements.

Central Province Deputy Permanent Secretary Godfrey Chitambala said Government of Zambia is committed to ensuring effective coordination in the water sector, which is why we have established a specific Ministry of Water Development and Sanitation.

Mr. Chitambala said this when he opened a Central Province Regional Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) CSOs Coordination Workshop in Kabwe organised by the Water Voices United Project.

He said CSOs have supported government in infrastructure development incorporating sustainable and inclusive WASH facilities in line with Government policy.

The DPS said the Government will take the resolutions from this workshop seriously and remains open to genuine dialogue in the interest of improving the welfare of society.

Meanwhile, NGO WASH Forum Advocacy Officer Nonde Lwatula noted that the network currently consists of forty members across the country, with most based in Lusaka.

Mr. Lwatula said the workshop was made possible through the Water Voices United project, co-financed by the European Union (90%) and the Danish People's Aid (10%), with a total budget of €3.6 million. The project is being implemented by SNV Zambia and the Zambia NGO WASH Forum.

He said the project, which started in January 2024, is set to run for four years.

Mr. Lwatula emphasised the project's focus to strengthen CSOs capacities and cooperation for the realization of the Human Right to Water and Sanitation in Zambia and to recruit more members to join the forum.

Mr. Lwatula believes that with a unified voice on the realisation of the Human Rights to Water and Sanitation in the province, they could amplify their advocacy efforts for clean and safe water and good hygiene.

He expressed confidence that the meeting would result in a network of CSOs implementing WASH activities and menstrual hygiene management.

MINISTER PAYS TRIBUTE TO CHILDFUND FOR LAUNCH OF EDUCATION, MOTHER CARE KITS

Central Province Minister Mwabashike Nkulukusa has paid tribute to ChildFund for partnering with the Government in the distribution of Education and Baby Care Kits.

Speaking during the launch in Chibombo District, Mr Nkulukusa mentioned that the kits would address some of the immediate needs faced by families in rural and underserved areas.

"The Government has prioritized access to quality education for all children, believing that it is through education that poverty can be eradicated, communities empowered, and economic growth driven," he said.

The Minister, however, acknowledged the barriers many families faced, from inadequate reading materials to the high costs of basic necessities.

He welcomed the initiative by ChildFund Zambia as an intervention that would bridge some of these gaps, ensuring that children had the tools they needed to succeed in school.

"Equally important is the provision of baby care kits, which would support new mothers and their infants," he said.

Mr Nkulukusa said early childhood development began with good health and proper care.

"By providing essential items such as diapers, blankets, and hygiene products, these kits would promote the wellbeing of the youngest citizens and ease the burden on mothers, many of whom faced significant financial challenges. The launch also underscores the power of partnerships," he said.

The Central Province Minister called upon all stakeholders—from government agencies to traditional leaders, civil society, and private sector players—to join hands in creating an environment where every child could thrive.

Mr Nkulukusa assured that the Government would continue to work closely with organizations like ChildFund Zambia to ensure that policies and programs aligned with the needs of the people.

The Minister acknowledged ChildFund Zambia’s efforts, looking forward to seeing the positive impact of the initiative and encouraging them to expand their reach to benefit even more communities.

Meanwhile, ChildFund Zambia Country Director Simba Machingaidze said the flag-off of educational and baby care kits was a collaborative effort by ChildFund Zambia, its partners, and the Ministry of Education and Health.

In a speech read on his behalf by ChildFund Zambia Director Programs and Sponsorship Mercy Chabu Ngoma, Mr. Machingaidze stated that the event signified a crucial step forward in their mission to uplift the most vulnerable members of their communities.

The ChildFund Zambia Country Director said the launch of the consignment was of immense value—both in monetary terms and, more importantly, in its potential to transform lives.

He said the consignment included 6,220 baby care kits valued at $128,705 and 15,030 educational kits valued at $95,139, with a total consignment value of $223,845.

"These resources would directly benefit over 15,000 vulnerable children enrolled in early childhood education (ECE) centres and lower primary schools across 12 districts in Lusaka and Central Provinces," he said.

Mr Machingaidze highlighted that this initiative underscored their commitment to ensuring that no child was left behind in their journey towards education and better health.

He noted that the launch and flag-off marked the beginning of an initiative designed to make a tangible difference.

Mr Machingaidze explained that these kits would empower pregnant women and mothers of under-five children with essential items and knowledge, reinforcing the importance of accessing health services.

"Through community sensitization, health facilities, and schools, the initiative would help embed the understanding that early childhood education and healthcare were cornerstones of a thriving society," he said.

This is contained in a statement issued by ChildFund Zambia Communications Specialist Priscilla Chama-Mpengula.

POLICE ARREST MUMBI PHIRI FOR AGGRAVATED ROBBERY INCIDENT IN KAWAMBWA

Zambia Police Service has detained Opposition Leader Mumbi Phiri in connection with a case of aggravated robbery.

Police Spokesperson Rae Hamoonga mentioned that on December 18, 2024, at approximately 20:07 hours, Kawambwa Police Station received a report from Boldwin Chilambikwa, 28, of Katungulu Village, Chief Mushota, in Kawambwa District.

He said Chilambikwa reported that his Infinix cellphone, valued at K3,800.00, and cash amounting to K20,000.00, were stolen by a male suspect identified only as Peter, who was allegedly in the company of Mumbi Phiri.

Hamoonga explained that the incident occurred earlier that evening, around 18:00 hours, at Chisheta Primary School in Kawambwa District.

He said according to the complainant, he was accompanying Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Mposha, and other UPND members as they checked on their party members.

Hamoonga said during this time, a group from the Tonse Alliance, allegedly led by Mumbi Phiri, confronted them and accused them of collecting voter’s cards from members of the public in collaboration with the ECZ team.

He said in the ensuing altercation, the suspect, Peter, used a Taser gun on the complainant, causing him to fall to the ground.

Hamoonga said while he was incapacitated, the suspect grabbed his cellphone and cash, which had reportedly been given to him by the Minister for fuel.

He added that a docket of aggravated robbery was opened, and investigations into the matter were ongoing.

Hamoonga assured the public that the Zambia Police Service was committed to thoroughly investigating this incident and ensuring that justice prevailed.

Governance and Development Advocates Zambia (GODAZA) Executive Director Elias Chanda Mulenga has stated that President Hakainde Hichilema has made a notable impact both domestically and internationally since taking office in August 2021.
