Chola Mutale shares;

Can we talk about eating habits when traveling on public buses?
Like, is this how you eat at home, or is it just a travel thing? Because no ways someone should squeeze in 3–5 meals within 2 hours.
Every single stop the bus makes, you’re out there buying food. Hmmm… if this is how some of you behave even at your place, then it’s honestly worrying.

Permanent Representative of Zambia to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and Director of the Zambia Meteorological Department, Edson Nkonde, has projected that most of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region will receive normal to above-normal rainfall from October to December (OND) 2025.

Mr. Nkonde says exceptions include the western fringes of Namibia, which are expected to experience below-normal rainfall.
According to the Thirty-First Southern African Regional Climate Outlook (SARCOF-31) for the 2025/26 rainfall season, the island states of Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles are likely to record normal to below-normal rainfall during the same period.

The outlook, prepared by climate experts from all SADC National Meteorological and Hydrological Services (NMHSs) during a Pre-COF session hosted in Zambia last week, provides forecasts for both rainfall and temperatures across the region.

He says contributions were made using data from Global Producing Centres and regional partners, under the guidance of the SADC Climate Services Centre.

Mr. Nkonde says from January to March (JFM) 2026, normal to above-normal rainfall is expected for most of the region.

Northern parts of Angola, the DRC, and Tanzania may see normal to below-normal rainfall, while southwestern areas are forecast to receive above-normal levels.

He says Madagascar, Mauritius, and Seychelles are expected to experience normal to above-normal rainfall, with Comoros receiving normal to below-normal rainfall.

Mr. Nkonde says temperature projections indicate that most of the SADC region will experience above-average temperatures, except for central areas where conditions are expected to remain near long-term averages.

The seasonal outlook is influenced by a weak La Niña phase of ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which is expected to shift from neutral to negative before returning to neutral by the end of the season.

Mr. Nkonde has thanked all national and regional climate experts for their contributions, describing the outlook as a result of collaborative efforts aimed at supporting climate preparedness and resilience across Southern Africa.

Journalists have been urged to take keen interest in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights in order to effectively highlight challenges affecting the growth and development of young people.

Media Consultant Henry Kabwe said when media practitioners prioritise SRHR issues in their reporting, it can influence society positively and strengthen advocacy.

He has explained that the training being conducted is aimed at building the capacity of journalists to understand, appreciate and report accurately on adolescent SRHR.

Mr. Kabwe has stressed that access to reproductive healthcare including contraception, maternal health services, and safe abortion services must remain central in community reporting.

And speaking during the opening of a media orientation workshop, SRHR Africa Trust Zambia – SAT Zambia Country Director, Lenganji Nanyangwe, commended government for creating a conducive environment that allows Civil Society Organisations to operate independently.

Ms. Nanyangwe said this enabling space has empowered organisations such as SAT Zambia to make valuable contributions to the national development agenda.

She has further thanked the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) for its continued support, which has positioned SAT Zambia among the leading CSOs driving transformative advocacy on SRHR issues.

Ms. Nanyangwe said the partnership with UNFPA has enabled SAT to strengthen coalitions and networks, which are crucial in the face of a shrinking funding space for SRHR services in the country.

CPRA commends DPP for appealing Malanji, Yamba sentences.

The Centre for Peace Research and Advocacy (CPRA) has welcomed the decision by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Gilbert Phiri to appeal the conviction and sentencing of former Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji and former Secretary to the Treasury Fredson Yamba.

CPRA Executive Director Cliffton Chifuwe said the move follows the organisation’s call last week for the DPP to take further action in the matter, describing it as a step in the right direction for justice and accountability.

Mr. Chifuwe said the DPP’s decision to also appeal against Mr. Malanji’s acquittal in the case involving the Royal Gibson Hotel, which was suspected to be proceeds of crime, is equally commendable.

“As an organisation, we view this development as a crucial step toward restoring and reinforcing public confidence in the rule of law and the Judiciary,” he said.

He has urged the judiciary to give the appeal due consideration to ensure that justice is not only done, but seen to be done.

Acting Minister of Green Economy and Environment, Collins Nzovu, has cautioned individuals spreading false information about water pollution on the Copperbelt, saying such reports are fueling public unrest and panic.

Speaking on government’s response to the incident, Mr. Nzovu has explained that the Zambia Environmental Management Agency (ZEMA) could not consider an assessment report submitted by Drizit Environmental Solutions because the Environmental Management Act requires that such reports come from the polluter, in this case Sino Metals Leach Zambia Limited.

“The government had no choice but to take over the process under Section 107 of the Environmental Management Act,” he said.

As a result, a call for expression of interest to conduct a detailed environmental impact assessment was issued in July 2025, attracting 14 local and international firms. The successful firm is expected to begin work on-site by the third week of September.

Meanwhile,Mr. Nzovu says Sino Metals Leach Zambia Limited has already begun cleaning up visible pollution along approximately 8 kilometers of the Kalusale Stream and surrounding fields.

Mr. Nzovu says this effort will be closely monitored and subjected to both a detailed environmental assessment and audit to ensure thoroughness.

He has clarified the volume of acid waste released, stating that 51,800 cubic meters entered the environment, countering claims that it was 1.5 million cubic meters.

“Tailings dams are physical features that cannot be hidden. We urge stakeholders to report accurate figures rather than spreading falsehoods,” he said.

Mr. Nzovu has further stressed that there is no government cover-up. Diplomatic partners were informed of the process, and any stakeholder wishing to contribute is welcome to collaborate.

The Minister has reassured residents that Nkana Water Supply and Sanitation Company has increased monitoring of water quality, confirming that the water supplied to households is safe and meets Zambia Bureau of Standards and World Health Organization specifications.

10/09/2025

The Christian Churches Monitoring Group [CCMG] has raised concern over reports that citizens in Northern and Muchinga Provinces risk being disenfranchised in next year’s General Elections due to being issued with defective National Registration Cards.

A recent newspaper report revealed that citizens in the two provinces are unable to access essential services using their newly acquired NRCs, as they are being rejected as invalid.

The report further quotes Chief Misengo of Mporokoso District, who sounded the alarm after nearly 200 of his subjects received NRCs with errors, including handwritten details filled in with a pen instead of being properly printed.

CCMG Program Director Peter Mwanangombe says the organisation has followed up on the matter.

Mr. Mwanagombe has disclosed that a CCMG observer confirmed receiving reports on 23rd August 2025 that officers from the Department of National Registration, Passport and Citizenship [DNRPC] in Mporokoso issued defective NRCs, allegedly because they had run out of ink to print names properly.

Mr. Mwanangombe says similar incidents were also reported in Mpika District, particularly in Mutamba and Nachikufu wards.

He has stressed that the issuance of defective NRCs is a serious concern because a valid card is a requirement not only to vote, but also to register as a voter, as provided under the Electoral Process Act.

Mr. Mwanangombe has urged the Ministry of Home Affairs and the DNRPC to urgently investigate the reports, withdraw all defective NRCs, and issue valid replacements before the Mass Voter Registration exercise, scheduled to begin on 13th October 2025.
