GOVERNMENT MOURNS FIRST INDIGENOUS AIR FORCE COMMANDER PETER ZUZE

Government has expressed sadness at the death of the country's first indigenous Commander of the Zambia Air Force, Lieutenant General Peter Zuze.

Ministry of Defence Permanent Secretary, Maambo Haamaundu, has described Zuze as a gallant airman who distinguished himself in the Air Force.

During his career, Zuze served as Commander of the Zambia Air Force from 1972 to 1976 and as Deputy Chief of the Zambia Defence Force under General Kingsley Chinkuli from 1976 to 1977.

Zuze later succeeded General Chinkuli as Chief of the Defence Force from 1977 to 1978 when he retired.

TRANSPARENCY INTERNATIONAL ZAMBIA LAUNCHES SOCIAL CASH TRANSFER ENGAGEMENTS

Transparency International Zambia-TIZ has launched targeted engagements aimed at stopping corruption loopholes in the administration of the Social Cash Transfer programme.

The engagements involving the Ministry of Community Development and local stakeholders are also aimed at ironing out operational bottlenecks in the management of the Social Cash Transfer programme.

Speaking during a report dissemination meeting in Choma, Tuesday, TIZ Citizens Engagement Officer, Patrick Bwalya, revealed that the initiative follows the organisation's 2025 Social Cash Transfer Corruption Vulnerability Study.

He stated that the study identified key risks threatening the programme's effectiveness.

Bwalya said TIZ is utilising findings from high-risk areas like Choma where payment delays have plagued beneficiaries to gather district-level feedback and push for systemic reforms at national level.

During the same occasion, Choma District Social Welfare Officer, Kazembe Zyambo, commended the study for spotlighting critical operational gaps.

He acknowledged that while the shift toward a digital payment system is progressive, severe network outages and low literacy levels among rural recipients continue to cause significant payment delays.

Zyambo added that such engagements are crucial in helping stakeholders understand that current issues stem from practical operational gaps rather than corruption or the misuse of funds by local welfare officers.

ZED MOBILE LICENCES REVOKED BY ZICTA

The operating licences for Zed Mobile have been revoked for failure to meet regulatory requirements, including the minimum required network standards.

The development was announced during a press briefing by Zambia Information and Communications Technology Authority-ZICTA Board Chairperson, Professor Mundia Muya, Tuesday.

He said the company had also failed to pay statutory fees as required under the Information and Communications Technology Act, Chapter 69 of the Laws of Zambia.

Muya added that Zed Mobile failed to demonstrate the technological and financial capability required under the Information and Communications Technology Act.

He said the two licences that allowed Zed Mobile to operate have been revoked with effect 15th September, 2026, stating that ZICTA will also withdraw the numbering resources and frequencies allocated to the company.

Muya clarified that although Zed Mobile has been stopped from operating, the company will still be required to settle its outstanding balances and protect consumers by facilitating refunds for airtime, bundles and any other financial liabilities owed.

With Zamtel, Airtel and MTN, Zed Mobile had become Zambia's fourth mobile network provider.

VERIFICATION OF BALLOT PAPER ACCOUNT FORMS TAKES CENTER STAGE IN MAZABUKA

The verification of ballot paper account forms for Mazabuka District is underway at Lusumpuko Community Hall.

Stakeholders from political parties, the Electoral Commission of Zambia, and observers have gathered at Lusumpuko Community Hall to witness the exercise.

The verification of ballot paper account forms is the final stage of the electoral process. It is conducted after the declaration of election results to ensure accuracy and accountability.

And Mazabuka District Electoral Officer Judith Mukwita Maambo says the verification exercise, which includes National Assembly and Local Government elections for Mazabuka, will take two days.

She says the process is aimed at ensuring that ballot paper records are accurately accounted for, that all relevant documentation is properly verified and reconciled, and that stakeholders are satisfied.

She has since called on stakeholders in the district to turn up in numbers and witness the exercise, stating that it is transparent.

And UPND Mazabuka District Vice Chairlady Chipo Munkombwe and District Secretary Ian Siasokwe expressed happiness with the exercise, saying that it promotes transparency and accountability in the election.

But National Reconciliation Party for National Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) District Secretary Emmanuel Chanda expressed concern over poor attendance, citing a lack of sensitization.

POLICY ANALYST WELCOMES MUSOKOTWANE REAPPOINTMENT AS FINANCE MINISTER

Policy Analyst Zondwayo Duma says the reappointment of Situmbeko Musokotwane as Minister of Finance and National Planning provides important continuity.

In a media statement today, Duma said the continuity is vital as Zambia consolidates the gains made in restoring macroeconomic stability.

He noted that addressing the country's debt challenges remains a critical priority for the ministry.

Duma advanced that the task ahead is to build on this foundation and move decisively from economic stabilisation to economic transformation.

He said that transformation must create jobs and strengthen Zambian enterprises.

Duma affirmed that deepening industrialisation is essential for sustained economic progress.

He emphasised that economic growth must translate into improved livelihoods for ordinary citizens.

Duma wished Musokotwane every success as he continues to serve Zambia in this important national responsibility.

He added that the reappointment signals confidence in the direction of the country's economic management.

Duma stated that the focus must now shift towards delivering tangible benefits to the Zambian people.

MQHZ CALLS ON PROF CHILENGI TO DELIVER RESULTS

The Medical for Quality Healthcare in Zambia (MQHZ) has congratulated newly appointed Minister of Health Professor Roma Chilengi.

In a statement today, MQHZ Director General Dr Quince Mwabu stated that Professor Chilengi must provide strong, reform-minded and results-oriented leadership.

Dr Mwabu added that the new Minister takes charge of a health system facing persistent challenges.

Dr Mwabu advanced that Professor Chilengi must remain connected to what is happening on the ground.

He said that reforms must be pursued where existing systems are not delivering.

Dr Mwabu stated that the Minister should listen to evidence, engage stakeholders and take corrective action.

He added that medicines, adequate staffing and functional equipment must remain key priorities.

Dr Mwabu observed that particular attention should be given to rural and underserved communities.

He noted that decisive action must be taken against corruption within the Ministry of Health.

Dr Mwabu advanced that above all, Professor Chilengi must remain patient-centred in all decisions.

WCP COMMITS TO PARTNERING WITH MEDIA ON ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTING

The Wildlife Crime Prevention-WCP, says it remains committed to partnering with the media in promoting evidence-based reporting around critical natural resources and climate issues.

WCP Communications Officer, Natasha Kabanda, said this during a recent graduation event for the 2025-2026 Environmental Crime Journalism-ECJ Fellowship overseen by the organisation, with a reporter from Byta FM radio, Nnandi Nthani, a beneficiary.

Kabanda noted that the training equipped selected journalists across the country with a deeper understanding of Zambia's protected wildlife, forest governance and legal frameworks.

She added that the third cohort comprising nine journalists exposed them to critical environmental crime issues ranging from wildlife trafficking to natural resource exploitation.

Kabanda said as part of practical training, the fellows undertook a two-day field mission to Chirundu and the Lower Zambezi to better understand protected area management, human-wildlife conflict, and the environmental impacts of mining in sensitive habitats.
