CHAMA DISTRICT CUT OFF AS SECTION OF THE ROAD AT LUANGWA BRIDGE GOT WASHED AWAY.

Chama District has been cut off from the rest of the districts in Muchinga Province.

This follows the washing away of the section of the road at Luangwa bridge, on the Chama-Matumbo road.

The district has been experiencing heavy rains in the recent days.

And Chama District Commissioner Yobe L Goma says he has reported the matter to the relevant authorities and he is hopeful that something will be done on the washed away section at the Luangwa bridge, so that it can allow flow of traffic.

The Chama-Matumbo Road provides key connectivity to several districts in Muchinga province and some of the districts which are linked by this economic road include Mpika,Nakonde,Isoka and Mafinga.

This economic road also facilitates trade among the traders in the district, as most of the goods are ordered from Nakonde Boader that links Zambia and the Republic of Tanzania.

CONSTRUCTION WORKS OF THE FIRST EVER GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL IN CHIEF TEMBWE, CHAMA DISTRICT, REACHES ADVANCED STAGE.

The Construction works of St Mary Anglican girls Secondary Boarding school by Anglican Church in Chief Tembwe, Chama district of Eastern province, have advanced.

Anglican Children's Programme Project Director Father Jones Katete says already a 1x4 classroom block and some offices for the administrators have been constructed at the school.

Father Katete says so far works have reached above 90% completion and are ready to be used by the ministry of Education in partnership with the church.

He says the school will also have hostels which will accommodate about 1000 pupils.

Father Katete said toilets for both teachers and learners have been constructed as well.

The project Director says the project is being done in phases and is expected to be completed this year once resources are made available.

Father Katete added that the project is being done with the help of the community in the area, international volunteers and well wishers.

He says soon the DEBS office will be engaged to help in with other things like furniture, books and bedding facilities such as beds and mattresses for the girls to begin using the school.

Father Katete, who has been spearheading the project, said the reason to construct the first ever girls Boarding school was to help in eliminating child marriages and school dropouts in the district.

"Girls who learn from co-education schools suffer abuse in many cases by the boys," he said.

The project Director says girls who rent some facilities in the community are also preyed by some men.

"Boarding school creates a safe haven for girls to complete their secondary education," Father Katete said.

He said instead of criticizing the government, the church embarked on a project of construction a school which he said will help many girls in the area.

And Chief Tembwe said the boarding school will allow girls to be kept in School as opposed to what is happening at the moment.

He said this will help reduce the long distances that children walk to access the nearest secondary school which is several kilometres away.

Kwenje Radio 10/10/23 By White Luhanga Take Farming As A Business, Farmers Told. Chief Lundu of Senga people in Chama of Eastern province has challenged farmers in the country to diversify and consider taking farming as a business in order to maximize profits from their efforts. Chief Lundu said it was high time that people stopped taking farming as a routine aimed at producing food for their families but rather to earn money for supporting their lives. On the other hand, Chief Lundu says crop diversification has the potential to increase availability of affordable, healthy foods and food security. The Chief says with climate change effects becoming severe on food production, crop diversification will help avert the negative impacts and increase income for many households. Chief Lundu said this today at his palace. Chief Lundu says he expects to have about 2000 by 50kg bags of maize in the last 2022-2023 farming season. Chief Lundu says he expects to sale over 1000 by 50kg bags of maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA). He added that so far he has sold about 400 by 50kg bags of maize to the (FRA). The Chief says he is strategically planning to keep more than 500 by 50kg bags of maize just for home consumption and other urgent needs in the Chiefdom. He added that being a leader, he has a lot of responsibilities including that of helping the needs in the Chiefdom, such as in times of hunger. Meanwhile, Chief Lundu says as government has been talking about diversification, he takes the pronouncement very serious, saying apart from Maize he has produced 67 bags of sunflower , 107 bags of groundnuts, 22 by 80kg bags of beans and 40 bags of rice. He added that he is also into horticulture. He has grown fruits like, oranges end.....//wl//kf//
