2 AMERICANS CAUGHT TRESPASSING AT THE COLLAPSED SINO METALS DAM

……. WHILE ONE ESCAPES

Two female American nationals were last week apprehended for secretly sneaking into the Sino Metals tailings dam in Chambishi township of Kalulushi District.

Jijan Diess and Melisa Jenkins were apprehended by Mine Security while their male counterpart escaped with a sample scooping shovel, a sample plastic bag and other unknown gadgets. The male managed speed off in a vehicle registration number ADF 7353 belonging to a company that had been contracted to conduct the Environmental Impact Assessment shortly after a section of the Tailings dam number TD 15 collapsed on 18 February 2025 releasing an estimated 50,000 cubic metres of toxic waste into the open environment.He brandished a pistol and threatened mine security before jumping into the vehicle which sped off.

Meanwhile the two female American nationals who were accompanied by a Zambian identified as Ceasar Katebe claimed they carrying out a study. They were later taken to Chambishi police station and handed over to the Deputy Officer in Charge while Mine police decided to pursue the vehicle that had driven off .

Mr. Ceasar Katebe , of house number 286 New Kasama in Lusaka claimed that the Americans were in the country for various studies in collaboration with his organization Zambia Alliance for Women Organizations.

Some onlookers and Zambia Police officers at Chambishi Police Station mocked the Americans and reminded them that their embassy had ordered them to leave Chambishi and Kitwe .
“ Your ambassador ordered you to leave Chambishi and Kitwe and told you not to drink the water from here or breathe the air we are breathing so what are you doing here now?” Shouted some onlookers.

The Mine police officers who had gone to pursue the other vehicle returned to Chambishi Police but were surprised to find that the American women nationals together with Mr Katebe had been released with the help of their lawyer who promised to take them back to the police station.
Sino Metals Mine police later informed their management that the Americans had been released. The following day Mine police were at the police station but the Americans did not show up.

Meanwhile a source at Chambishi police station revealed that senior officers were advised not to release the Americans until Sino Metals management came to file a formal complaint against them American nationals before the criminal trespass occurred at Sino Metals dam within the Mine area.

Sino Metals mine police made several attempts to contact both Mr Katebe and the lawyer but their phone numbers went unanswered.
Mr Ceasar Katebe and the two female Americans were using a Toyota Hilux registration number BAZ 8569. After carrying out preliminary investigations, it was discovered that The vehicle in question belonged to a Mr Danny Kalale of Lusaka and it was later established that he was in fact deceased.

ILLEGAL COLLEGES AWARDED CDF BURSARIES

INFORMATION has emerged that management at the Lusaka City Council (LCC) has awarded nine (9) illegal colleges, CDF bursaries to train students when the were not accredited or registered by TEVETA and the Higher Education Authority (HEA).

Internal auditors at the council have also been warned not to do audits or due diligence on these illegal colleges as they risk being fired or transferred to rural local authorities like Sikongo and Chilubi.

According to the CDF guidelines and manual, only tertiary institutions accredited with TEVETA and HEA are supposed to be entrusted with training those on CDF bursaries.

Senior directors at the LCC are at the centre of this illegality as they are receiving kickbacks from these private illegal colleges.

About 23 Government colleges such as Lusaka Vocational Technical College (LVTC), NORTEC, Lusaka Business and Technical College (LBTC) Evelyn Hone, NIPA and Mulungushi and Chalimbana Universities are owed millions of Kwacha by the LCC in unpaid tuition fees, this is because corrupt LCC officials are not promised kickbacks from these government institutions.

CDF projects are deliberately being delayed with purpose to disadvantage the UPND and HH in the 2026 general election, this is pure sabotage.

We again call upon the Local Government Service Commission to sort out this mess, as we will start naming and shaming these corrupt officers after 30 days.

Contracts for supplying of desks are awarded to foreigners against the policy of empowering locals, Evidence is available.

The Public Relations Unit is not interested in publicising projects funded by the government to disadvantage HH in the 2026 elections.

We are ready to assist the LGSC or any other law enforcement commission that wants evidence to this effect.

ANOTHER JUDGEMENT AWAITS LUSAMBO

By Darius Choonya

The Lusaka Magistrate’s Court is tommorrow August 22,2025 expected to deliver judgment in a matter in which former Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo is accused of acquiring properties reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime.

These are properties situated in Lusaka's Chamba Valley area and include a single storey four-bedroomed house and a guest wing and an incomplete block of six flats.

Mr. Lusambo denies any wrong doing.

This will be the third judgement delivered by the court on various offences against Mr. Lusambo.

Last year, he received two judgements one in which he was given a four years sentence for acquiring public properties through corrupt means and another judgement where he was sentenced to two years in prison for assault in a separate case.

Mr. Lusambo remains in prison cells as the court denied him bail pending an appeal on his previous sentences.

LCC CARTEL FIGHTING HH, CDF IMPLEMENTATION

A Cartel at the Lusaka City Council comprising of senior officers at the department of planning, the public relations unit and engineering department is fighting policies put in place by President Hakainde Hichilema.

This cartel has deliberately and systematically been delaying CDF projects in all the seven constituencies in Lusaka so as to give the opposition an advantage and label CDF a failed project.

Government institutions that are training youths in skills are not paid on time and only private institutions that are ready to bribe some officers are paid on time.

Some contractors do substandard works but paid on time, evidence is very much available.

Contracts for supplying of desks are awarded to foreigners instead of the capable youths, when President Hakainde Hichilema emphasized that locals must supply desks.

Department of planning prioritizes opposition (especially PF) members in land matters.

We want to give an Ultimatum to the local government service commission to do it's job before we start exposing individuals in this same Cartel.
