PRESIDENT HICHILEMA CALLS FOR FASTER DELIVERY ON LOBITO CORRIDOR

By Staff Reporter

President Hakainde Hichilema has called on Zambia, Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to speed up implementation of the Lobito Corridor, with the Luacano–Chingola railway section prioritized as a key project.

Speaking at the official opening of the Second Lobito Corridor Coordination Meeting at the InterContinental Hotel in Lusaka on Monday, President Hichilema said the corridor must deliver tangible benefits to citizens and serve as a platform for regional integration and economic development.

He said Zambia already had potential cargo from mining operations at Lumwana, Kansanshi and Kalumbila, alongside opportunities in copper, nickel, agricultural exports, value addition and industrial development, making the Luacano–Chingola railway a priority rather than a secondary project.

Zambia already has potential cargo sources from mining operations at Lumwana, Kansanshi and Kalumbila, he said, while highlighting opportunities in copper, nickel, agricultural exports, value addition and industrial development.

President Hichilema called for more efficient borders through 24-hour operations, adequate staffing, digital customs systems, single-window platforms and electronic payments.
He also stressed the need for feeder roads linking communities and businesses to the main corridor and proposed a “red flag” mechanism to identify and resolve implementation delays quickly.
The Head of State said the corridor’s success should be measured by its ability to create jobs, particularly for young people, and urged stakeholders to focus on economic development rather than political considerations.

Co-hosted by the Zambian Government and the World Bank Group, the meeting has brought together government officials, development partners and private-sector representatives from the three countries.
World Bank Managing Director for Operations Anna Bjerde said the International Finance Corporation had identified 118 potential private-sector anchor investments worth more than US$28 billion in mining, energy, agribusiness, logistics and forestry.

Minister of Finance and National Planning Situmbeko Musokotwane said Zambia wanted private-sector involvement from the planning stage, noting that the railway’s sustainability would depend on increased production of minerals, agricultural products and other goods transported through the corridor.
DRC Minister of State for Planning Guylain Nyembo called for mineral processing within Africa before export and highlighted opportunities in agriculture.

Angola’s Minister of Transport Ricardo Viegas d’Abreu is among the delegates attending the meeting. Officials say the corridor will give Zambia a shorter route to Atlantic markets for copper, cobalt and agricultural exports, supporting its ambition to become a regional trade and logistics hub.

The two-day meeting continues on Tuesday, with discussions expected to focus on practical actions and milestones for the next six to 24 months.

Magistrate Warns State Over Missing Witnesses In False Information Case

By ALICE CHABI
Chingola Resident Magistrate Maybin Kapaya has told the State to put its house in order and produce witnesses in a case where Richard Mambwe and four others are accused of giving false information to a public officer.

When the matter came up for continuation of trial on October 1, 2026, no State witness was before court.

The prosecutor told the court that the arresting officer, who was away on national duty in Ndola, had informed him that witnesses would be available, but none appeared.

The court noted that this was not the first time the case had failed to take off due to lack of witnesses and warned prosecutors to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserves.

The matter was adjourned to October 6, 2026 for continuation of trial. The quartet bail was extended.

Background of the case.

Richard Mambwe, 45, a Zambia Revenue Authority Security Officer in Chingola, Bwalya Bwalya, 26, Moses Sichalwe, 21, and Anthony Guvugu, 35, drivers from Seasons Company, have pleaded not guilty to four counts of giving false information to a public servant contrary to Section 125(a) of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia, and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm contrary to Section 248 of the same Act.

Particulars in counts one to four allege that on March 14, 2026, the four wilfully and unlawfully gave false information to Chief Inspector Mutota in Chingola, a person employed in the public service, accusing Baxton Kampansa of causing the disappearance of their manhood.

The information was believed to be false because medical examinations revealed that their manhood was intact, causing the officer to act in a manner he would not have had he known the true facts.

Particulars in count five allege that on March 24, 2026, in Chingola, Richard Mambwe assaulted Baxton Kampansa, occasioning him actual bodily harm.

The cases of alleged manhood disappearance surged across Chingola and later spread across the country, causing panic. In one incident, a mob in Solwezi attacked a woman from Chingola who was accused of causing a young man's manhood to disappear.

Judgment Set For October 27 In Chingola Landlord Chama Mayanda Case

By ALICE CHABI

Chingola Resident Magistrate Maybin Kapaya has set October 27, 2026 as judgment day in the case of landlord Michael Chama, alias Chama Mayanda.

Chama, who is well known among tenants in Chingola and claims to own about 500 houses, is facing two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and breaking into a dwelling house and theft. He has denied both charges.

The court found him with a case to answer and placed him on his defence after ruling that the State had established a prima facie case. He elected to remain silent.

Magistrate Kapaya set the judgment date in the absence of the defendant, who was not before court on Thursday, October 1, 2026. Bail was extended.

The State called five witnesses. According to submissions, Chama is represented by lawyer Kondwani Musukwa of Nyirongo and Company, who argued that the State had failed to prove essential elements, that the evidence was contradictory and that there was no case to answer on both counts.

*Particulars of Offence*

In count one, it is alleged that Chama, on January 19, 2026, jointly and whilst acting with persons unknown, assaulted Arnold Mwape on his private parts, occasioning actual bodily harm, contrary to Section 248 of the Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia.

In count two, it is alleged that on the same date, Chama, jointly and whilst acting with persons unknown, broke into Arnold Mwape's dwelling house with intent to commit a felony, contrary to Sections 301(a) and 227 of the Penal Code.

He is accused of stealing K25,000 cash meant for food supplies for Mr Mwape's company, a phone charger valued at K150, and a jacket worth K500. The total value of the alleged theft is K26,150.
