Whoever this is that did this to these upcoming hustlers, Lesa akupale
OUR BIGGEST LOSS - SAD 🥺
So yesterday evenings some new customer calls in to request for delivery of Hungry Lion 21 pieces, a fanta, Big Boss Burger 🍔 and 2 Small Pizza from Debonairs...

We requested she sends money to which she insisted on payment upon delivery cuz she had Cash & some in FNB... We accepted.

As busy as the weekends are for each restaurant, we accepted to work on her order...

Passed an hour, the food was taken to Highlands behind SOS. Called the lady she goes like...

"That food I ordered 1+ hour ago, so cancelled plus I don't stay there so I left."

Asked her new location so that we deliver, she just cut the line and blocked us.

Tried texting and calling her on different numbers all went unanswered.

That was like a nightmare 😒K500+ in loss. I'm still shocked how would someone CANCEL an order without informing us & not considering that we used our own money for that food. A big loss to the small business struggling to actualize itself...

Stuck with food in Highlands, mind full of emotions of disbelief to that... We decided to distribute all the foods to whom ever wanted at no cost. We delivered to almost 10 houses... Glad the food didn't go to waste.

Wondering what was the motive of this Client when ordering... Hard days in business.

Our sincere appreciation to everyone that supports us and trust the TingMec Couriers brand. We strive to be Affordable, Reliable and Convenient Delivery Service Provider in Livingstone.

Call Us on 0961173997 & 0972543066 for the Home Delivery Service of FOODS PARCELS, GROCERIES AND MEDICATIONS.

Getting the Cholera fight right: Leading from the front.

By: Prof Wilbroad Mutale, MD, MPhil, PhD
Professor of Public health, University of Zambia School of Public Health.

As a doctor, it causes me much pain to see the loss of life from preventable causes such as cholera. Us doctors know that some things you cannot do much about or you may know very little about something so your response is limited. This is not the case with Cholera.
We know so much about it that it should not kill anyone.
John Snow in 1854, made a major contribution to fighting cholera when he was able to demonstrate a link between cholera and the contaminated drinking water through his pioneering studies in London. That was it! No one should die from cholera from then on!
You don’t have to be a doctor or be educated to know this. It is public knowledge.
But why have we failed to deal with the evil we know can kill if left unchecked, 170 years after Snow’s discovery, 60 years after Zambian independence?
Why do we still have people without clean water and adequate sanitation in the national capital, Lusaka? Why do we still have compounds and residential areas where no human being should live?
Why do we allow flooded toilets and pit latrines every rainy season and keep hoping it will not lead to cholera? Why do we allow unplanned settlements when it is against the law for a good reason?
Like I said, this is very painful to see in this time and era, Zambia has good resources available to tackle this compared to other countries in the region, including peace, stability and predictability. Yet we just cannot provide clean water and sanitation to our own people. Unfortunately, the medical fraternity end up bearing the brunt of the epidemic as sick people and dead people must pass through our hands and so we are forced to respond as if we can actually control a cancer which has spread. We are simply dealing with symptoms and not the root cause in the fight against cholera. We have all good intentions, including a master plan to end cholera by 2025, but how far have we come in 2024, a year before the deadline?

Cholera is a social problem that manifests its ugly face as a medical emergency creating fear and anxiety. Put diarrhea and vomiting aside, these can be managed in most cases, but what we have failed to deal with as a nation is the social determinants of cholera, namely water and sanitation, housing, and inequalities.
It seems to me that inequalities have been normalized with shanty compounds being taken as a normal place to be born and die. Our future generation is being told that its okey to live in a place without toilets and water. Its okey to live in flooded shanty compound every rainy season as long as you do not get cholera!! It is not okey and it is embarrassing for a rich nation, which is not at war, to be in a situation where 500 people are admitted each day with cholera and numbers are rising. It should not happen and must not happen.
The question that you might ask me, what can we do then? Excellent question!
The answer lies in the presidency and his cabinet not the ministry of health. That is where all the answers have been sitting for the past 60 years even as I write this, I believe the solution is very close. While the ministry of health is mopping up, it is possible to close the tap.
Here is my suggestion:
1) The president should form an inter-ministerial emergency committee which he should head. Here, he will need ministers to sit with him as members, supported by technocrats. Not the other way round. Key in this are the following Ministries: local government, infrastructure and housing, water and natural resources and health. The ministry of health should play an advisory role, not leading this cholera elimination program.
2) Make a plan on how you will re-settle the people in cholera hot spots and make temporary shelters whilst exploring options and contractors that can partner with government to make new affordable housing in Kafue or Chongwe with proper access to water and sanitation. It is cheaper to do this and give free housing than to keep fighting cholera and losing lives every year.
3) The president must make all ministers and their respective ministries accountable, not accepting any excuses. Those working with water, sanitation and housing should be given adequate support and resources to do their jobs well - executing immediate, contingency and long-term plans. It is also critical that innovation is allowed, and that Ministry of finance be allowed to prioritize cholera elimination as doing this is equal to national development. A country fighting cholera every year is unlikely to develop.
4) The case fatality rate is very high in the current cholera outbreak (4%) when it should be less than 1% if patients and families are aware and seek care early. That’s where we are losing it! While opening big cholera centres is a good thing, about 50% are dying from home. The president must order deployment of mobile emergency multi-disciplinary teams to be stationed in hot spots, with medical teams within 1-2 kms reach so that whoever has symptoms can quickly go and get medication and fluids in these units. These must also be used as entry points for community awareness with loudspeakers attached and environmental heath teams doing surveillance and community mapping. We already have mobile hospitals at the ministry of health, these can move into cholera hot spots.
5) Use church leaders more since we are a Christian nation, and most patients are church members somewhere. Let the church leaders receive Cholera prevention information and resources from CDF to do something around their church catchment area and among their church members. People listen to and trust their church leaders, so they will believe cholera messages coming from their own church leaders.
6) Continue other initiatives, but with better coordination and active research to know what is working and what is not working and how we can maximize on the good things we are doing.
7) Lastly, we as citizens must do all we can to help and support each other. What do you have in your hands that God has gifted you? Please use this to protect someone from Cholera or help someone with cholera or help someone fighting cholera on our behalf, whilst staying safe.

From our inbox
Hello admin please help me reach out to Zesco Limited
What exactly is wrong with Zesco because most times I wonder what would happen if we had a natural calamity in our country. I think we would go for years without power.
Today is day 4 without power in selected houses in my area (COMPLAINT #280925539). Businesses have lost out on sales and products, homes have lost their budgeted for food stuff yet from day one the problem has been reported. Yesterday some Zesco personnel came and checked the transformer and later left the site stating that they will return the following day. What kind of incompetence and unseriousness is this? Maybe God knows how we would suffer if he allowed an earthquake or hurricane because this power utility company is a joke.

PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO PUT POLITICS ASIDE

Did Former National Coordinator Chanda Kabwe take DMMU with him when PF lost power or did Hon Dr Chitalu Chilufya close down the Ministry of Health on his way out? Perhaps this Govt should put politics aside and find these two gentlemen and ask them how they contained Cholera in 2018 working side by side with local government.

Or What did they do then that Pollen (DMMU) and Masebo (Health) can’t seem to do now to handle this cholera outbreak that is claiming the lives of many of our brothers and sisters on a daily basis?

Perhaps it is time to put country before politics and engage those with experience in crafting and implementing proper health security systems..

Now is a very bad time to opt for pride and less Nationalism and Patriotism.

With 27 Zambians dying within 24hours and not less than 222 in total since the outbreak began, we can only call for all hands on deck!

*GOVERNMENT OPTIMISTIC THAT THE CHILDREN'S CODE ACT WILL ADDRESS CHILD LABOUR IN SESHEKE DISTRICT*

Government is optimistic that the Children's Code Act could address issues of child labour and other child abuses in Sesheke District.

Being a bordering town with Namibia, Sesheke is prone to child labour and trafficking, among others.

Section 13 of the Children's Code Act clearly says, "A person shall not subject a child to economic exploitation or any work that is hazardous or likely to interfere with the child’s education, physical or mental health, spiritual, moral,
emotional or social development".

Sesheke District Commissioner, Mr Alex Namenda, has therefore noted that such issues will be addressed with the new law now in place.

Speaking when he officiated at the Children's Code Act rollout consultative meeting in Sesheke, Mr. Namenda said the enactment of the Children's Code Act will undoubtedly bring sanity in the bordering Town where children's rights are disregarded in many ways.

He therefore called on stakeholders in the district to help Government popularise the law for it to be appreciated and upheld.

And Ministry of Community Development and Social Services, Director for Child Development, Mrs. Beatrice Muyambango, said apart from popularising the act, stakeholders should also familiarise themselves with the Child Participation and Safeguarding frameworks to holistically promote the welfare of children.

She said children are vulnerable and deserve to be secure in every place, be it homes, school, churches, or other social settings.

Mrs. Muyambango continues to call on all stakeholders to take it upon themselves and protect children from vices that might injure their future.

She reiterated that the law does not give children powers over their parents, but rather safeguards them from acts that would harm their well-being.
