FARMERS IN NYIMBA PRAISE CEJ FOR SOLAR-POWERED BOREHOLES BOOSTING CLIMATE-RESILIENT AGRICULTURE

Farmers in Nyimba District, Eastern Province, have paid tribute to the Centre for Environment Justice (CEJ) for enabling off-season agricultural activities following the drilling of solar-powered boreholes to boost climate-resilient agriculture.

CEJ, with support from We Effect and the Zambia Climate Change Network (ZCCN), drilled solar-powered boreholes for productive use in Nyimba District.

The initiative is part of the Agriculture, Water, and Livelihoods project aimed at enhancing climate resilience and food security.

Boreholes have already been drilled in Kamono Camp (Nyimba) and Kasusu Camp (Petauke), with solar-powered water systems and irrigation installed on one-hectare plots.

Over 100 direct beneficiaries—including persons with disabilities, elderly women, and youths—are benefitting, with over 1,000 people impacted indirectly across both districts.

CEJ also trained farmers in agroecology, equipping them with sustainable farming methods suited to changing weather patterns.

Eastern Province, particularly agroecological zones 1 and 2A, was severely affected by the recent El Niño phenomenon, making this intervention a critical lifeline.

In addition to water access, CEJ months ago distributed 30 improved goats to farmers in Petauke as part of a livelihood support programme.

Speaking during a recent field visit, CEJ Chamvula Village Irrigation Farm Manager Harrison Tembo of Nyimba District, says his team is working on a one-hectare plot where they have planted tomatoes and other vegetables.

He stated that they expect germination in the coming weeks and are preparing to plant cabbage and okra.

Tembo explains that they have installed drip liners to manage the water supply, but are facing challenges with pressure reaching all parts of the field.

He is appealing for support to improve water pressure so the project can be executed effectively.

CEJ Chamvula Village Beneficiary Elina Phiri expressed gratitude to CEJ for introducing a water reticulation system that is promoting the water-food nexus and improving livelihoods.

She says the community has planted tomatoes, cabbage, and okra, and the nursery is thriving.

Phiri encourages CEJ to continue supporting the initiative, which is helping families and children in the area.

CEJ Chamvula Village Beneficiary Tamara Mwenda says the crops they have planted will help them make savings to support their children’s education and address household challenges.

She thanked CEJ for bringing the exercise to their village.

CEJ Chamvula Village Irrigation Group Vice Chairperson Rangson Mumba also thanked CEJ for the development.

He noted that seedlings provided by CEJ have already been transplanted and drip liners installed.

Mumba says the plants have started flowering and are expected to be ready for consumption within a month, with hopes to sell the produce and generate income.

MAZABUKA, MONZE GOLF CLUBS HOST SUCCESSFUL OPEN TOURNAMENT SANCTIONED BY ZAMBIA GOLF UNION

Mazabuka Golf Club on Saturday and Sunday officially hosted an Open tournament in conjunction with Monze Golf Club, sanctioned by the Zambia Golf Union, which saw players from different parts of the country participate.

Honourary Secretary Methias Silungwe says the event, designed to identify talent and assemble players, attracted 96 participants from the two clubs—Mazabuka and Monze.

Silungwe has reaffirmed the commitment of sponsors, the National Golf Union, to promoting the sport.

Lusaka golfer Musamba Kopoma Jr., who retained the Junior Champion title, described the tournament as successful while urging other youths to join the sport to stay away from bad vices.

Former Chilanga Golf Club leader Tapewa Phiri has reiterated the need for various stakeholders to get on board.

Phiri observes that many young people who may not realise the significance of the game can achieve a lot in life regardless of their educational background.

Meanwhile, speaking on behalf of the Zambia Golf Union, Mohammed Bhaggoo said the tournament, sanctioned by the union, is an event on the golfing calendar and open to affiliate clubs.

Bhaggoo further stated that the union, in a bid to grow the sport, contributed Twenty Thousand Kwacha in support of the two clubs that collaborated to host the event.

UPND CONFIRMS EMMANUEL BANDA’S ADOPTION FOR 2026 TRIPARTITE POLLS AMID SERENJE PLATFORM DEBATE

United Party for National Development (UPND) has urged its members in Serenje District to give space to independent Muchinga Member of Parliament, Emmanuel Banda, following his official adoption by the party for the 2026 tripartite elections.

Aubrey Muzaza, Central Province Media Director for Special Duties and former Serenje District Chairman, confirmed that Banda’s adoption was announced during a recent meeting chaired by Central Province UPND Chairperson and Provincial Minister, Mwabashike Nkulukusa.

Muzaza called on party aspirants who are defying the directive to support Banda to consult with the Provincial Party Chairperson for clarity and guidance.

The matter surfaced in the Serenje District Platform WhatsApp group, where some UPND members argued that the ruling party had not yet conducted any formal adoptions.

However, Muzaza reaffirmed that Emmanuel Banda had indeed been adopted for Muchinga Constituency, urging members to respect the party’s decision and unite behind the endorsed candidate.

FARMERS IN MONZE BEGIN ACCESSING INPUTS UNDER 2025/2026 FISP PROGRAMME

Smallholder farmers in Monze District who have made their K400 contributions have started accessing inputs under the Farmer Input Support Programme for the 2025/2026 agricultural season.

This came to light when Agriculture Permanent Secretary for Technical Services, John Mulongoti, toured selected agro-dealers in Monze contracted by government under the FISP programme.

Mulongoti expressed happiness that farmers are currently redeeming their codes and accessing inputs in readiness for the farming season.

Government has transitioned FISP to an electronic voucher modality throughout the country in a bid to ensure better choices for farmers, efficiency, and transparency in the implementation of the programme.

Mulongoti reaffirmed that redeeming of inputs by farmers began in September so that by mid-December all the 1,024,434 farmers are supported.

He urged farmers not to sell the inputs but to put them to productive use to enhance productivity and contribute to the 10 million metric tonnes production target of maize by 2027.

Speaking on behalf of other beneficiary farmers, Purity Nchimunya of Keemba Agricultural Camp thanked government for the early distribution of inputs.

Nchimunya said farmers never anticipated receiving inputs this early, following what they experienced in past years.

MISA ZAMBIA CALLS FOR STAKEHOLDER COLLABORATION TO FINALISE ACCESS TO INFORMATION GUIDELINES

The Media Institute of Southern Africa (MISA) Zambia has called for collaborations with other relevant stakeholders to expedite the process of finalising the ATI guidelines for public institutions.

MISA Zambia Chairperson Lorrain Chisanga says there is need for partnership with bodies such as the Human Rights Commission, designated as the oversight body under the Act.

Chisanga says MISA is elated that the government has signed Statutory Instrument 56 of 2025, which aims to regulate and operationalise the Access to Information (ATI) Act.

She adds that stakeholder collaboration is essential to ensure that the ATI law can be fully operational.

Chisanga notes that the development is crucial as it will enable citizens to engage with their public leaders more effectively and facilitate smooth information requests and service provision.

She says this will empower citizens to hold their leaders accountable, combat corruption, and promote transparency and accountability in the use of public resources.

Chisanga said this in a statement as Zambia joined the international community in commemorating the International Day for Universal Access to Information.

The day is marked and celebrated every year on 28 September, following the declaration by UNESCO on 17 November 2015.

The day is aimed at spreading awareness concerning the need to expand laws related to information and their actual implementation.

Chisanga says Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, which includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through media, regardless of frontiers.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, GERMAN BUNDESTAG STRENGTHEN PARLIAMENTARY COOPERATION

The Acting Clerk of the National Assembly of Zambia, Loveness Mayaka, says the National Assembly of Zambia and the German Bundestag have agreed to strengthen cooperation in planning and organisation of plenary sessions.

Mayaka, who was leading a delegation of staff from the National Assembly to the German Bundestag from 21st to 27th September, says her delegation examined the German budget approval process and noted that the Zambian Parliament has also rolled out sector analysis of the national budget.

Speaking when she and her delegation paid a courtesy call on Zambia's Ambassador to Germany, Winnie Chibesakunda, Mayaka said her team looked at how the German system has evolved.

She added that several improvements in their system have been identified for incorporation to make the Zambian system more effective.

Mayaka expressed gratitude to the German government for supporting the construction of 17 constituency offices in Zambia, noting that the development has helped people engage with their Members of Parliament.

She said her delegation learnt how the Bundestag has enhanced operations of the constituency offices and how they are reaching out to the public and involving young people in the politics of the Bundestag.

Chibesakunda encouraged the National Assembly to involve more young people in Parliament and mentor them from an early age.

She said participation of young people from an early age will help improve the quality of Members of Parliament.

The National Assembly delegation was in Germany at the invitation of the German Parliament.

The study visit focused on areas such as public participation in parliamentary proceedings, support services to committees, utilisation of constituency offices, budget oversight, and research services to Members of Parliament.

This is according to a statement issued to Byta FM by First Secretary–Press at the Zambian Embassy, Lubinda Kashewe.
