KANCHIBIYA MP CALLS FOR URGENT ACTION AGAINST JUNKIES

Kanchibiya Member of Parliament, Sunday Chanda has called for swift action to curb escalating criminal attacks committed by drug-influenced individuals commonly referred to as junkies.

Mr. Chanda noted with sadness that innocent citizens have been killed, maimed and left traumatized while families are grieving, businesses are suffering and public safety is under siege.

Speaking to Chikuni Radio News, Mr. Chanda says such acts of terror should not be downplayed under the guise of unemployment or youthful delinquency.

He has since called on the Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security and the Zambia Police Service to treat this situation with the urgency it deserves.

He has further implored fellow Parliamentarians to swiftly strengthen laws, ensure stiffer penalties and mandatory imprisonment for those found guilty of the violent, drug-related offences.

Mr. Chanda is of the view that convicts should have no option of a fine, probation or a suspended sentence so that the court would have no discretion to give a lighter punishment or alternative sentence.

MONZE COUNCILLOR CRITICISES SWASCO OVER ERRATIC SUPPLY

Monze Urban Ward Councillor Paul Mutenguna has expressed frustrations at the Southern Water and Sewerage Company (SWSC) for failing to provide adequate water supply to residents of Monze Town.

Speaking to Chikuni Radio News, Mr. Mutenguna expressed disappointment that the company has stopped responding to calls seeking explanations for the erratic water supply affecting several compounds.

He highlighted operational inefficiencies within the company, noting that it has not fulfilled its mandate to ensure a reliable water supply to the public.

Mr. Mutenguna singled out the Harry Mwanga Nkumbula compound as one of the most affected areas despite having a borehole and experiencing fewer power interruptions.

He expressed concern that residents are receiving water at around 1:00 in the morning a time when most people are asleep, making the supply largely inconvenient.

The councillor has urged SWSC to improve its operations and serve the Monze community diligently as he stressed the need for timely and consistent water provision.

PSYCHIATRIST CALLS FOR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS IN SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH PATIENTS

A Psychiatrist at Chikuni Mission Hospital in Monze District Rita Hanyinde Busiku has called for strengthened collaboration among families, communities and health institutions in supporting individuals living with mental health challenges.

Speaking during the Friday edition of the Morning Breakfast Show on Chikuni Radio, Mrs. Busiku emphasized that families play a critical role in helping patients access proper care and reintegrate into society without facing stigma or discrimination.

She observed that stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to mental health recovery as many patients shy away from seeking help or disclosing their conditions due to fear of being judged or isolated.

She urged members of the public to treat mental health with the same seriousness as physical illnesses and stressed that early intervention is vital for effective treatment outcomes.

Mrs. Busiku further appealed to those experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety or other mental health conditions to seek professional help early.

She also encouraged community leaders and local organizations to raise awareness on mental health and promote open dialogue that can help reduce stigma and promote healing.

MONZE DC ASSURES SINGONYA RESIDENTS OVER AIRCRAFT SURVEY

Monze District Commissioner (DC) Mwanza Malambo has urged residents of Singonya area not to panic over aircrafts seen hovering above their communities, explaining that the planes are part of a government mineral exploration exercise.

Mr. Malambo said the ongoing operations are part of the national aerial geophysical mapping survey aimed at identifying the mineral potential across the country.

Speaking to Chikuni Radio News, the DC explained that the government through the Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development, has embarked on the countrywide initiative to establish Zambia’s mineral wealth and attract both local and foreign investment in the mining sector.

He said the aerial survey which involves aircrafts flying at low altitudes to collect geological data is being conducted in several districts including Monze to support evidence-based planning for future mineral exploitation.

Mr. Malambo further emphasized that the exercise poses no danger to residents and assured the public that it is purely scientific and aimed at gathering data to help government identify potential sites for mining and other natural resources.

He noted that if mineral deposits are discovered in Singonya or other parts of Monze, it would bring about economic benefits such as job creation, infrastructure development and increased revenue for local communities.

Mr. Malambo has since called on residents to remain calm, cooperate with the survey teams and take pride in being part of a national development initiative that could unlock Monze’s untapped mineral potential.

GWEMBE MP CALLS ON GOVERNMENT TO SUBSIDIZE FISH FEED

Gwembe Member of Parliament Tyson Simuzingili has called on the government with cooperating partners to consider subsidizing fish feed in an effort to grow the aquaculture industry in the country.

Mr Simuzingili says fish feed has become so expensive and small scale farmers in Gwembe are failing to buy it.

He tells Chikuni Radio News that the risk is that with no subsidies, over 164 cages for the small scale fish farmers will be turned into white elephants which is a loss to both government and the farmers.

He says these fish farmers depend on this industry for their income and to feed their families.

Zambia's aquaculture sector is one of Africa's largest, achieving record fish production of over 89,000 metric tons in 2024 and contributing significantly to the national GDP.
