LACK OF PUBLIC DIP TANKS IN LUKUBA WORRIES LIVESTOCK FARMERS

A concerned resident of Mazabuka’s Magoye constituency has bemoaned the lack of public dip tanks in Lukuba area.

Miyanda Mainza tells Byta FM News that the lack of public dip tanks has negatively affected prevention and control of livestock diseases.

He says the limited dip tanks available in the area are owned by individual farmers.

Mainza adds that it has become costly for livestock farmers to pay for the use of dipping facilities.

He has since called on government to consider constructing more dipping facilities in the area to boost prevention and control of livestock diseases.

Meanwhile, Mazabuka District Commissioner Oliver Mulomba has appealed to livestock farmers to utilize the Constituency Development Fund — CDF — to address the challenges affecting the community.

He says government has given the people the power to decide the development they want in the community through CDF.

CHIEF MACHA URGES RETURN TO TRADITIONAL VALUES TO CURB GENDER-BASED VIOLENCE

Chief Macha of Choma District has called for a revival of traditional Zambian cultural practices to strengthen families and help reduce cases of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). He expressed concern that the erosion of cultural norms has contributed to increasing marital disputes, which he attributed to power struggles within homes.

Speaking during a courtesy visit by the district’s GBV Task Force to his palace on Friday, Chief Macha argued that the adoption of foreign conflict-resolution frameworks over traditional methods has led to a rise in divorce rates. He emphasized that restoring indigenous values around family and marriage could help restore harmony and respect within households.

Meanwhile, Clinical Officer and GBV Task Force member Nalumino Nalumino highlighted the close link between GBV and poor health outcomes. He cited sexual violence as particularly harmful, increasing the risk of disease transmission and unintended pregnancies among survivors.

Nalumino also stressed the importance of the Chief’s backing in efforts to engage traditional leaders. He noted that involving headmen in outreach activities is key to sensitizing communities on the need for GBV prevention and effective reporting mechanisms.
