GOVT DISMISSES SOCIAL MEDIA REPORTS ON MAKENI FLYOVER BRIDGE "CRACK"

The government has assured the public that the Makeni Flyover Bridge in Lusaka is structurally sound and safe, dismissing social media claims that a crack has developed on one of its crash barriers.

Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development Permanent Secretary Maambo Haamaundu clarified that the gap shown in circulating images is not a crack but a standard design feature meant to accommodate expansion and contraction due to temperature changes.

Mr. Hamaundu who led a team of engineers, including the design consultant to inspect the bridge explained that the gap known as an expansion joint is part of the bridge’s structural integrity.

He also addressed concerns about brown lines seen in viral images, explaining that they are simply water marks that come through the expansion joint and do not indicate any structural weakness.

Makeni Flyover Bridge, completed in 2020 under the Lusaka Decongestion Project, is one of four flyovers built under the initiative along with those at Arcades, Munali and Longacres.

Mr. Hamaundu has since urged the public to rely on professional assessments rather than unverified social media reports to avoid spreading misinformation

GOOD RELATIONS AMONG ALL STAKEHOLDERS CRUCIAL FOR SUCCESS OF CDF PROJECTS - MAPANI

Namwala Member Parliament Moono Mapani has emphasized that a good relationship between council employees, the community, and contractors is crucial to the success Constituency Development Fund (CDF) projects.

Mr. Mapani points out that many projects have stalled, not due to lack of funding, but because of negative attitudes within the council that hinder progress.

Speaking during a council meeting the MP highlighted the lack of proper documentation and follow-ups on project inspections.

He says while inspections are being conducted, reports are not being submitted and issues are not acted upon.

He says this has significantly contributed to delays and a lack of accountability on CDF funded projects.

The MP stresses that once a project is approved and funding allocated, there should be no reason for delays or interruptions.

Additionally, Mr. Mapani addresses the issue of interference between departments within the council, which often leads to confusion and inefficiency.

He urges the council to adopt a more cooperative approach to ensure smooth ex*****on of projects.

In conclusion, the MP calls on council management and all stakeholders to adopt a positive attitude towards work and collaboration.

By improving attitudes and adhering to proper processes, Mr. Mapani believes the people of Namwala can benefit from well-managed and completed

ZCCB LAUNCHES THE JUBILEE YEAR 2025 DEBT CANCELLATION CAMPAIGN

The Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) has launched the Jubilee Year 2025 Debt Cancellation Campaign, calling for urgent debt relief, economic justice, and transparency in Zambia’s debt management.

The launch was unveiled at Kapingila House in Lusaka yesterday at the close of the First ZCCB Plenary Meeting for 2025, which started on Tuesday, 28th January 2025.

The Campaign aligns with Pope Francis’s call for economic justice and debt forgiveness worldwide as part of the Jubilee Year 2025.

Speaking at the launch, ZCCB President Archbishop Ignatius Chama of Kasama Archdiocese reaffirmed the biblical foundation of the Jubilee tradition, citing Leviticus 25:1-8, which emphasizes mercy, justice, and the renewal of societies burdened by unjust debt.

He stressed that Zambia’s crippling debt burden is hindering essential services such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure, making it difficult for citizens to improve their living conditions.

He emphasizes that debt cancellation is a moral and ethical necessity, echoing Pope Francis’s message urging global leaders to address unjust debt burdens that stifle the growth and well-being of developing nations.

Archbishop Chama outlined the importance of debt cancellation, stating that it would provide economic relief, reduce poverty, promote sustainable development, and address unjust and predatory debts that hinder progress.

The Archbishop acknowledges that Zambia benefited from debt relief 20 years ago, yet the country faces another debt crisis which highlights both global financial inequalities and our own shortcomings in managing public resources effectively.”

He calls for stronger transparency measures to ensure that any future relief leads to long-term economic stability.

He calls on the Zambian government to strengthen parliamentary oversight, ensure open reporting on loan acquisitions, establish independent audit mechanisms, and integrate technology to allow citizens to track debt levels and expenditures in real time.

He also emphasizes the need for greater citizen participation in debt management.

Archbishop Chama urges all Zambians government officials, civil society organizations, religious leaders, and citizens to unite in advocating for debt cancellation and systemic reform.

Rwandan President Paul Kagame on his recent conversations with South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa on the happenings in Easten Congo, “What has been said about these conversations in the media by South African officials and President Ramaphosa himself contains a lot of distortion, deliberate attacks, and even lies. If words can change so much from a conversation to a public statement, it says a lot about how these very important issues are being managed.”

Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Mulambo Haimbe has called for calm following recent policy changes by the United States Government, assuring the public that Zambia is actively engaging with U.S. officials to navigate the transition.

TEMPORAL CROSSING ON ST. MARY’S ROAD ASHED AWAY AGAIN A temporary crossing point on St. Mary’s Road west of Monze District, has been washed away following torrential rains on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, leaving many residents stranded. This latest incident marks the second time the road has been rendered impassable. The initial damage occurred on January 21 when heavy rains cut off the road at the Mulonga Wangoma Bridge, disrupting access for residents of Hatontola, Katimba, Hamavwa and Mayaba Wards. In order to provide temporary relief, the local authority had facilitated emergency repairs through the Cash for Work program, with community members ferrying stones to restore passage but yesterday's heavy downpour has undone those efforts and left the road inaccessible once again. St. Mary’s Ward Development Committee (WDC) representative Oliver Mukampaila, who supervised the earlier works, has expressed concern over the road’s continued vulnerability. Mr. Mukampaila noted that while the Cash for Work initiative had been a short-term solution, it may no longer be effective in sustaining the road. Mr. Mukampaila has since urged the government to step in with a more permanent solution as he emphasized the need for urgent intervention to ensure residents can access essential services in Monze’s Central Business District. The road is already part of a broader rehabilitation project funded by the German government, with full-scale works including the construction of new bridges expected to begin once the rainy season subsides around April. However, the current situation has left communities in urgent need of a viable alternative for safe passage.

Dr. Muchima says the request by the board that now to take up the challenge to ensure that health facilities are equipped with helipads cannot be over-emphasised. He says President Hakainde Hichilema has made various interventions to promote health service delivery in the country. He says as part of the recapitalisation effort, Zambia Flying Doctor Service (ZFDS) was recapitalised with K167 million.
