NEW ZAMBIA ASSOCIATION OF MUSICIANS EXECUTIVE PAYS COURTESY CALL ON PERMANENT SECRETARY FOR ARTS

The Zambia Association of Musicians (ZAM) executive, led by association president Mr. Brian Bwembya (B-Flow), paid a courtesy call on the Permanent Secretary for Arts at the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts, Mr. Fumba Chama. The meeting focused on key industry challenges and opportunities for collaboration.

The newly elected ZAM leadership expressed gratitude to the Ministry for its support in hosting their Annual General Meeting (AGM) and assisting in resolving internal challenges. They also updated the Permanent Secretary on the ongoing handover process from the previous executive, which is expected to be completed within two weeks.

Emphasizing their commitment to industry growth, the ZAM team pledged to work closely with the Ministry on initiatives aimed at elevating Zambia's music and arts sector.

In response, the Permanent Secretary congratulated the new ZAM executive and reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to formalizing and professionalizing the creative industry. He highlighted key efforts, including:

Reviewing the National Arts Council Act – Updating the legislation to align with contemporary industry needs and strengthen arts business frameworks.

Repealing the Theatre and Cinematography Act – Replacing the outdated 1929 Act with new regulations, supported by UNESCO’s International Fund for Cultural Diversity.

Enhancing Compliance – Encouraging artists to fulfill statutory obligations such as NAPSA, ZRA, and NHIMA to secure their financial and social welfare.

Establishing an Arts Development Fund – Providing financial support for creative projects.

The Permanent Secretary also invited ZAM to participate in three major upcoming events:

1. Creative Industries and Business Summit (June 2025) – A platform for artists to engage with policymakers and industry leaders.

2. National Arts Festival (August 2025) – A celebration of Zambia’s diverse artistic talent.

3. Ngoma Awards (December 2025) – The country’s premier arts awards ceremony.

To enhance ZAM’s credibility and sustainability, the Permanent Secretary urged the association to establish strong financial management, record-keeping, and governance systems.

Kafue river still polluted - Government

GOVERNMENT has confirmed that pollution in the Kafue River remains heavily polluted following the spill of acid and heavy metals from a broken tailings dam at Sino Metals Leach Zambia Ltd in Kalulushi.

Fisheries and Livestock Minister Peter Kapala said the spillage which occurred on 18th February 2025 has caused extensive damage to aquatic life, disrupted livelihoods and continues to pose a serious public health risk.

Kapala described the situation as an ecological disaster that threatens the river’s role as a vital source of food and income for over 300,000 households dependent on fisheries.

He revealed that government scientists from the Central Veterinary Research Institute (CVRI) and the University of Zambia’s School of Veterinary Medicine have confirmed that heavy metal contamination in the river has exceeded safe limits set by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

The Minister stated that the findings indicate severe pollution which has resulted in mass fish deaths and unsafe water conditions.

Government has since intensified monitoring efforts along the Kafue River to track metal concentrations and toxicity levels.

Fishing activities in affected areas have been suspended until authorities can confirm that the fish is safe for consumption.

“Efforts are also underway to restore the river’s ecosystem, including plans for fish restocking and the implementation of biosecurity protocols to prevent further environmental degradation,” said Kapala.

The Department of Fisheries in collaboration with various partners has developed a research proposal aimed at periodically assessing contamination levels in the river, its sediments and fish populations.

Kapala called on both local and international partners to support this initiative and noted the need for financial and technical resources to conduct long-term environmental assessments.

Residents along the Kafue River, particularly in Central and Copperbelt provinces have been urged to adhere to precautionary measures set by health and environmental authorities.

Kapala advised communities to refrain from consuming fish from the river until comprehensive tests confirm its safety.

He also encouraged the public to report any unusual occurrences, such as mass fish deaths or changes in water quality to the nearest government office.

Government assured the nation of its commitment to protecting aquatic ecosystems, ensuring food security and safeguarding the livelihoods of those dependent on fisheries.

He added that authorities will continue to provide regular updates as further investigations unfold.
