Nkwazi Women’s Club Champions Empowerment and Hope Among Vulnerable Communities

Patron of the Nkwazi Women’s Club, Mrs. Beatrice Musamba, wife to the Inspector General of Police, has reaffirmed the club’s unwavering commitment to uplifting the lives of vulnerable members of the Zambia Police Service and the surrounding communities.

Speaking during a recent event, Mrs. Musamba said the club’s primary goal is to enhance the quality of life for those in need, especially women and girls facing social and economic challenges.

“As a club dedicated to the empowerment of women, we are determined to make a difference,” she said. “Our aim is to create a loving and inclusive space where women can come together to learn, share experiences, and enjoy themselves regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds.”

Mrs. Musamba emphasized that the key objectives of the Nkwazi Women’s Club are to support, empower, and build the capacity of women and girls who find themselves in vulnerable situations. She noted that during Cancer Awareness Month, the club’s focus is on promoting early detection and self-care, helping women take charge of their health and wellbeing.

Encouraging unity and sisterhood, she called on members to “celebrate life and one another through our cultures, arts, and indigenous traditions,” urging every woman to connect with her inner strength and purpose.

Meanwhile, Pastor Lackson Mwanza inspired the gathering with a powerful message about resilience and entrepreneurship. He challenged women to view challenges as gateways to opportunity.

“In every crisis, there is a chance to rise,” he said. “While some complain about load shedding, others are turning it into business by supplying solar panels and inverters. Entrepreneurship begins with an idea—not money. Once you have a clear idea, everything else will fall into place.”

The Nkwazi Women’s Club, a non-governmental and charitable organization, is composed of spouses of police officers and serving female officers. Through compassion, creativity, and collective effort, the club continues to light a path of empowerment for women and communities across Zambia.

INVESTIGATIONS ARE UNDERWAY INTO THE LAND CURRENTLY HELD BY THE CHINESE COMPANY

The Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources has dispatched a team to the field to investigate allegations surrounding the sale of land by China Huashun Zambia Investment Company Limited.

In an exclusive interview with News Today, Principal Public Relations Officer Delphine Mutinta revealed that the Ministry had attempted to contact the individuals behind the sale through the phone numbers displayed on circulating posters, but all calls have gone unanswered.

Ms. Mutinta explained that preliminary information suggests the company in question also operates a money-lending business.

The allegations point to the possibility that the firm may have seized land from individuals who defaulted on their loans, using the property as collateral.

However, she emphasized that investigations are still ongoing.

“The Ministry is working to verify how the company obtained the land, whether it holds legitimate title deeds, and whether the sale is legal,” she said. “At this stage, the land in question remains undeveloped, and the public will be fully informed once our findings are complete.”
