PRAYER YATU, Heavenly Father, as we begin this new Monday, we thank You for the gift of life and for bringing us into a new week. We choose to look ahead with hope, faith, and confidence, believing that better days are ahead.

Lord, let this Monday mark the beginning of something new and beautiful in our lives. Open doors that no one can shut. Create new opportunities where we least expect them. Lead us toward places where our gifts, efforts, and dreams can flourish.

Father, we pray for a better future. May the days ahead bring progress, peace, stability, and happiness. Replace disappointment with hope, uncertainty with confidence, and weariness with renewed strength.

Lord, let this be a season of new miracles, new opportunities, new blessings, and new comfort. Surprise us with breakthroughs we did not see coming. Make a way where there seems to be no way, and give us wisdom to recognize and embrace the opportunities You place before us.

May those who are struggling find comfort. May those who are waiting receive good news. May those who have lost hope find renewed courage. May every household experience peace, joy, provision, and reasons to be grateful.

We declare that this week shall not be wasted. May our steps be ordered, our decisions guided, and our efforts fruitful.

Let Monday begin well, let the week progress beautifully, and let it end with testimonies.

We step into this new week with faith, knowing that our future is in Your hands.

In the Mighty and Matchless Name of Jesus Christ, we pray, AMEN.

Four face 5-year jail term for illegal possession of 'ZAWA's' last born, "The Pangolin"

FOUR people, including two women, have been convicted by the Lusaka Magistrate's Court for illegally possessing a live pangolin, one of Zambia's protected wildlife species.

The four — Lutangu Namushi, Nawa Pelekelo, Abigail Sitali and Melody Mangala — were convicted on July 28, 2026, by Magistrate Mutinta Mweemba Mwenya for Illegal Possession of a Protected Animal, contrary to Section 130(1)(2) of the Zambia Wildlife Act No. 14 of 2015.

The matter dates back to February 1, 2026, when officers from the Department of National Parks and Wildlife, acting on intelligence, mounted an operation at Novare Mall along Great North Road in Lusaka.

During the operation, an informant working with the officers posed as a potential buyer and engaged the four in a transaction involving a live pangolin.

The officers intercepted the suspects and recovered the animal, weighing approximately seven kilogrammes, concealed inside a blue laptop bag.

Investigations established that the pangolin had been sourced from Kalabo, while the suspects could not produce a certificate of ownership authorising them to possess the protected animal.

As the case proceeded, investigators uncovered further evidence linking the four to the pangolin.

Forensic extraction from their mobile phones recovered deleted photographs and videos showing the animal.

The material was dated January 30, 2026, just days before the suspects were apprehended at the mall.

Expert evidence also confirmed that the animal was a pangolin, a protected species listed under Statutory Instrument No. 42 of 2016.

The State, through National Prosecution Authority prosecutor Siamasona, argued that the evidence established joint possession of the animal by the four accused.

According to the National Prosecutions Authority, the court rejected the defence that the suspects had gone to Novare Mall merely to collect a SIM card following a funeral, describing their explanation as contradictory and an afterthought.

After considering the evidence, the court found the State's case proved beyond the required standard and convicted all four.

The four now face a mandatory prison sentence of not less than five years, without the option of a fine, under the applicable wildlife law.

The pangolin — sometimes affectionately described by wildlife conservationists as the world's only mammal covered in scales — remains among Zambia's protected wildlife and is heavily targeted by illegal wildlife traders.

It's time for Bembas to let a Tonga rule; Nkumbula let KK from Chinsali rule — Nevers

PASTOR Nevers Mumba, a member of the UPND Alliance, says it is time for Bembas to demonstrate the same "selflessness" shown by late nationalist leader Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula by allowing a Tonga to lead the country.

Mumba, who is also New Nation Party—NNP president, says Nkumbula, a Tonga from Bweengwa, put national unity ahead of tribe and personal ambition when he gave way to Kenneth Kaunda, a Bemba from Chinsali, to lead Zambia.

He says Bembas should now reciprocate by giving President Hakainde Hichilema, a Tonga from Bweengwa, an opportunity to continue leading the country.

“A Tonga man, Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula, from Bweengwa selflessly gave way to a Bemba man, Kenneth Kaunda from Chinsali, to lead Zambia. He put the nation before tribe, personal ambition and position.

“So, why can’t I, a Bemba from Chinsali, give a chance to a Tonga HH who is from Bweengwa?

“It’s time to reciprocate in the spirit of national unity," Mumba says.

Mumba said this on his fourth day of galvanizing votes for President Hichilema in Chinsali.

He alleged that some people were transferring their hatred for President Hichilema to the people of Chinsali by encouraging them to reject him because of his Tonga identity rather than assessing his leadership record.

Mumba urged voters not to support or reject Hichilema based on his tribe, but instead judge him on his performance.

“Let us be honest: do not vote for H.H. because he is Tonga, but do not reject him because he is Tonga. Judge him by his record," Mumba said.

Mumba cited free education, debt restructuring, the Constituency Development Fund—CDF and road projects as some of the achievements he says should be considered by voters.

He challenged voters to consider who would deliver better results before deciding whether to change government.

“Why vote out a leader because of his tribe when you can judge him by what he has delivered?

“And then, vote for who? Who will do what?" Mumba questioned.

Mumba urged the people of Chinsali to make what he described as the right decision by voting for President Hichilema.

It's all AI, I've not made such video; I've been hacked, says Binwell

TONSE Alliance Presidential Affairs Chairman Binwell Mpundu says a video circulating on social media, in which he is depicted saying, “I'm ready to die, I'm ready to kill,” was not made by him, describing it as entirely Artificial Intelligence (AI)-generated.

In a Facebook post, Mpundu says he has not had access to his page for several days after he was allegedly removed by a hacker.

He says he is not very active on social media and only became aware of the video after it was posted on his page.

Mpundu says his administrators only post content that he has approved, insisting that he did not make or authorise the video in question.

“I’m not very active on social media and I have been made aware of a video posted on my page which is all Artificial Intelligence, as I have not made any such video,” he said.

“I have not had access to my page for days now because I was removed by a hacker, and my admins only post what I approve.”

Mpundu has since urged members of the public to take note that the sentiments expressed in the video did not come from him, while apologising for the content circulated in his name.

“Kindly take note. Apologies for the sentiments circulated in that video. Thank you,” he said.
