CHOMA RESIDENT RAISES ALARM OVER TAINTED TAP WATER IN CHANDAMALI

A resident of Chandamali in Choma, Juliet Choongo, has expressed concern about the poor quality of water she is receiving at her home.

Choongo tells Byta FM News in an interview that the water coming from her taps is visibly tainted, raising worry about potential health risks, particularly waterborne diseases like cholera.

She has called on Southern Water and Sanitation Company (SWASCO) to provide immediate clarification on whether the water reaching residents in Chandamali is safe for consumption.

Meanwhile, at a recent Choma District Cholera Preparedness Meeting, SWASCO Quality Assurance Officer, Fredrick Siachitema, noted that the utility's current infrastructure has stood the test of time.

Siachitema suggested that residents experiencing tainted water should consider changing the pipes at their homes with supervision from SWASCO, implying the issue may be due to domestic plumbing rather than the primary supply.

FARMER IN CHOMA COMPLAINS OVER DELAYED FRA MAIZE PAYMENTS

A Choma-based farmer who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency (FRA) in the last crop marketing season has expressed concern over what he describes as mistreatment by those disbursing payments.

Boyd Mukando complains to Byta FM News that a lot of farmers are still waiting for their payments months after delivering maize, forcing some to sleep outside payment centres in the cold and rains as they wait for their money.

Mukando says the delayed payments are slowing down farming activities because farmers need the money to buy seed and prepare for the new planting season.

He has expressed frustration over the apparent lack of strong laws protecting farmers from such delays, leaving them vulnerable and seemingly held hostage by the payment system.

Mukando questions the delay in disbursing funds, stating that in modern times, waiting long hours for payments should not suffice given the main digital platforms.

He compares their situation to that of civil servants, noting that they receive their salaries monthly with little or no delays, yet farmers who play a key role in the country’s food security are expected to endure hardships.

Efforts to get a comment from INDO Zambia and Absa banks, the institutions processing payments, were unsuccessful as the branch managers said they could not speak without authorisation from higher management.

iDE CALLS FOR MARKET-BASED SANITATION SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS RURAL INFRASTRUCTURE GAPS

International Development Enterprises (iDE), a prospective member of the Zambia NGO WASH Forum, has highlighted the need to champion advancing sanitation through market-based designs.

iDE Innovation Director Nadia Campos has since emphasised the need for sustainable and aspirational sanitation solutions in rural Zambia, noting that many communities still lack reliable infrastructure.

Campos acknowledged that although 75% of the groundwork has been completed, people are often forced to rebuild latrines that do not endure.

She argued that residents desire toilets that are durable, attractive, and functional, reflecting dignity and pride.

Campos explained that the absence of viable options is due to limited local entrepreneurship and a lack of market-driven approaches.

She stated that iDE’s strategy supports early adopters who invest in new technologies and influence others.

Campos highlighted that by understanding user aspirations, iDE co-designed affordable toilets using local materials and simplified construction.

She described a modular toilet developed in Central Province featuring a ceramic pan, water-efficient flushing, and a ventilated wooden shelter.

Campos noted that the design uses minimal water and allows households to build in stages, making it ideal for water-scarce areas.

She said that empowering local entrepreneurs is essential for driving lasting sanitation change through business incentives.

Campos said this in Lusaka during a WASH Night event to commemorate World Toilet Day organised by the NGO WASH Forum with support from the Water Voices United project.

Water Voices United is a transformative four-year project, co-funded by the European Union and Danish People's Aid and spearheaded by SNV in partnership with the NGO WASH Forum. This initiative aims to enhance the capabilities and synergies among WASH Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in Zambia. By fostering the CSOs' role in WASH governance, the project supports the Zambian Government's efforts towards the progressive realization of the Human Right to Water and Sanitation. Together, we are not just aiming for change; we're ensuring a sustainable and equitable future where access to clean water and safe sanitation becomes a reality for all.

WOMAN MURDERED IN KAZUNGULA AFTER MARITAL DISPUTE

A 29-year-old woman from Nyawa chiefdom in Kazungula district has been murdered by her husband after the couple got into a fight.

She has been identified as Memory Mudenda, with the incident reported to have occurred around 02:00 hours on 21st November, 2025, in Siampasa village.

Following the marital fight, the suspect, 31-year-old Clinton Sikayasa, went to his father’s home seeking help and reported that his wife had gone unconscious after the two had picked a physical quarrel.

When his father and other family members accompanied him to his house, they found the victim lying unconscious in the bedroom, hence transported to Nyawa Rural Health Centre where she was pronounced dead upon arrival.

Southern Province Commissioner of Police, Moono Namalongo, notes that the suspect attempted to flee but was apprehended by his father with the assistance of other members of the community.

Namalongo updates that the suspect is detained at Zimba Police Post, with a case of suspected murder formally recorded.

He adds that Police officers visited the scene and observed drag marks outside the house, as well as a torn white top and a black bra, both stained with mud, while the mattress inside the bedroom had bloodstains.

A physical inspection of the remains revealed bloodstains in the nostrils and the mouth of the deceased.
