SUSPECTED WITCHDOCTORS APPEAR IN COURT OVER PLOT TO HARM PRESIDENT HICHILEMA

By Nelson Zulu

Four state witnesses have testified before Lusaka Magistrate Fine Mayambu that two suspected witchdoctors, Leonard Phiri, a Zambian, and Jasten Mabulese Candunde, a Mozambican, were found in possession of alleged charms in a residence they were renting in Lusaka’s Roma Township.

One of the witnesses, Immigration Officer George Mwale, told the court that upon arresting Candunde and questioning him at immigration headquarters, the suspect disclosed that he had been hired by former Petauke Central Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Jay Jay Banda through his brother Nelson Banda to harm president Hakainde Hichilema using witchcraft.

Mr. Mwale further testified that upon searching the rented premises on November 23, 2024, officers found a live chameleon sealed in a bottle, 14 empty bottles containing traditional medicines, and an unidentified animal tail.

The officers also recovered powdered substances, which Phiri admitted belonged to him.

The duo, however, denied practicing witchcraft but admitted to possessing charms last year, arguing that they had legal documents permitting them to hold such items.

Meanwhile, the defense, led by lawyer Agrippa Malando from Legal Aid, questioned the legitimacy of the state’s claims, arguing that the prosecution failed to prove any intent or capability to harm the head of state.

In cross-examination, Mwale admitted that no evidence was provided to show that anyone had been harmed.

The case has since been adjourned to 26th February for continued trial.

ZESCO SIGNS SOLAR DEALS WORTH OVER 332MW TO BOOST ENERGY SUPPLY

By Lukundo Nankamba

ZESCO Limited has signed Power Purchase Agreements worth over 332 megawatts of new solar capacity with Presidential Solar Initiative Developers, Micro Generation Developers and Developer-Initiated Projects that will feed into the national grid.

Speaking during the signing ceremony in Lusaka this morning, Energy Minister Makozo Chikote says these contracts symbolize a transformative step toward energy self-sufficiency, electricity security, and economic growth for Zambia, ensuring that everyone has access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity before 2026.

Mr Chikote explains that the aim is to expand electricity access from the current 53.6% to 100% by 2030, adding 3.2 million new connections to homes and businesses across the country.

He has explained that this solar initiative will also diversify zamia’s electricity generation mix, increasing the share of non-hydro renewable energy from 3% to 33% by 2030 to enhance grid stability and reduce climate vulnerability.

And ZESCO Managing Director Justine Loongo expects construction to commence within the next two months, with project commissioning anticipated before the end of this year.

The Micro Generation Power Plants Developers include the University of Zambia, Techmasters Zambia, Big Vision Investments, Tondent Limited and Abena Consultants Limited, among others.

MIMBULA MINERALS SHAREHOLDER LAMENTS LOW PARTICIPATION OF ZAMBIANS IN RUNNING MINES

By Michael Kaluba

Mimbula Mine Director and Shareholder Fidelis Chanda has warned that Zambia’s increased mineral production may not translate to improved economic well-being for the country because the majority of the proceeds are externalized by foreign mine owners.

Mr. Chanda has emphasized that the current mining sector ownership structures are designed to funnel profits outside of Zambia, highlighting the need for more Zambian businesses to acquire shares and replicate the Mimbula shareholding structure to domesticate revenue and benefits.

Mr. Chanda says despite Zambia’s copper production of over 820,600 tons last year, representing a 12% increase from the previous year, this has not positively impacted the exchange rate and overall, economy.

He is advocating for Zambians to take ownership of the mines, partnering with investors who can bring in foreign direct investment, contending that increased mineral production is only beneficial if the proceeds are reinvested in the local economy, rather than being externalized by foreign interests.

Mr. Chanda has further highlighted that Mimbula Mineral Resources is set to invest an additional $250 million in phase 2 of its mining operation following the initial $100 million in phase 1, ramping up production to 60, 000 tons annually from the current around 16,000 and increasing employment figures to 1500 from 1300 currently.

SARW DEMANDS ANSWERS ON 15-YEAR FAILURE TO RELOCATE SULPHUR DIOXIDE EXPOSED KANKOYO RESIDENTS

By Raphael Mulenga

Southern African Resource Watch Governance, Research and Advocacy Officer Edward Lange has urged government to clarify on the delayed relocation of Kankoyo residents whose houses have developed severe cracks due to mining activities.

Mr. Lange says his organisation is deeply concerned over the safety and well-being of the residents in the area, who are constantly exposed to sulphur dioxide fumes and posing health issues such as respiratory challenges and eye irritation.

Mr. Lange has emphasized that government must take immediate action to guarantee the safety of the residents rather than pronouncing what he termed as cosmetic solutions.

In an interview with Phoenix News, Mr. Lange has further challenged government to provide a clear and timely response in order to address the plight of Kankoyo residents who have been subjected to this ordeal for over 15 years.

And Mr. Lange has demanded that government strengthens the legislative framework and heighten monitoring of mining activities on a regular basis.
