COUNCILLORS SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AS “HONOURABLE”LOCAL GOVERNMENT MINISTRY

The Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development has clarified the official titles to be used when addressing local government officials, stressing that “Honourable” is not a designated title for Ward Councillors.

Ministry Permanent Secretary Administration, Dr. Gabriel Pollen, said the honorific “Honourable” is reserved for Members of Parliament and Judges of the Superior Courts, and should therefore not be used when addressing Ward Councillors.

The Ministry has also drawn a clear distinction between the titles “Mayor” and “Council Chairperson.” According to the guidance, Mayor is the official title for the presiding officer of a City or Municipal Council, while the presiding officer of a Town Council should be addressed as Council Chairperson.

The clarification means that the title used for a local government official should correspond to the specific council and office they preside over, rather than being used interchangeably.

The Ministry has urged councils, officials and members of the public to observe the prescribed titles in official correspondence, public engagements and other formal settings, saying adherence to established protocol helps maintain institutional clarity and integrity

FAZ PRESIDENT STEPS ASIDE AS NATIONAL TEAM TECHNICAL COMMITTEE CHAIR

Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) President Keith Mweemba has stepped aside as Chairperson of the National Team Technical Committee.

FAZ General Secretary Charles Chakatazya says the move will allow Mweemba to focus fully on his broader responsibilities as FAZ President and other strategic priorities.

Mweemba had chaired the committee for about a year, helping guide it during its formative stages.

FAZ says a new chairperson will be appointed and announced in due course.

Meanwhile, former Zambia U-23 coach and ex-Zambia international Peter Kaumba has been appointed to the National Team Technical Committee.

Kaumba, who guided the Zambia U-23 team to the semi-finals of the 2003 All-Africa Games in Abuja, Nigeria, brings extensive coaching and playing experience to the committee.

The committee also includes former FAZ president Kalusha Bwalya, Kenneth “Bubble” Malitoli, Patrick Phiri and Danny Kabwe.

FAZ has also appointed Hans Mujala Mweemba, Chairperson of FAZ Luapula Province, as the new Chairperson of the Referees’ Committee.

Former FIFA referee and COSAFA/CAF physical instructor Bernard Chabala has been appointed as a member of the committee.

The appointments follow the departure of former Referees’ Committee Chairperson Gladys Lengwe.

INDO ZAMBIA BANK PUMPS K3.3 BILLION INTO AGRICULTURE

Indo Zambia Bank has grown its agriculture financing portfolio to about K3.3 billion, stepping up support for farmers and businesses under the Government’s Grow Zambia Agenda.

The bank has disbursed nearly K400 million to more than 3,600 farmers through its Sustainable Agriculture Financing Facility. It is also planning to inject another K300 million into the soybean sector before year-end, with US$15 million in additional financing expected for wheat production.

Board chairman Dr Michael Gondwe announced the figures during a courtesy call on Finance and National Planning Minister Situmbeko Musokotwane in Lusaka. He said the bank would continue supporting crops, livestock, agro-processing and other value-addition activities, while expanding financing across energy, mining, tourism, manufacturing and infrastructure.

Dr Gondwe said the bank’s energy portfolio includes US$140 million in projects expected to add more than 800 megawatts to Zambia’s electricity generation capacity. A further project worth more than US$40 million, with potential to add 100 megawatts, is under consideration.

Minister Musokotwane urged the bank to use its links with India to attract investors with the expertise to develop commercial farms and agro-processing businesses in Zambia. He said increased production of sugar, soybeans and other export crops could create jobs and provide additional cargo for the Lobito Corridor.

The Minister said Government would work to provide the land, electricity and roads needed to help investors move into production.

HICHILEMA URGES PRIVATE SECTOR TO PARTNER GOVERNMENT IN DELIVERING GROW ZAMBIA AGENDA

President Hakainde Hichilema has called for closer cooperation between Government and the private sector as Zambia shifts its focus from economic stabilisation to growth.

President Hichilema says Government has laid the foundation by working to stabilise the Kwacha, reduce inflation and restructure the country’s external debt.

He was speaking after meeting the Zambian private-sector delegation that participated in the Zambia–UAE Business and Investment Forum in Abu Dhabi.

The President said the next phase is to accelerate economic growth, with the private sector playing a central role in the process.

He also urged businesses to embrace digitalisation as Government works to modernise public registries and reduce delays that affect business operations.

The meeting follows the Zambia–UAE Business Forum, where the two countries witnessed the signing of Memoranda of Understanding worth about US$2.14 billion across various sectors.

President Hichilema says the Government will continue working with businesses to attract investment, expand economic opportunities and deliver the Grow Zambia Agenda.

Mufulira Council Commences Road Marking Exercise in C*D

Mufulira Municipal Council has commenced a road marking exercise in the Central Business District (C*D) as part of efforts to improve road safety and traffic management.

The exercise includes the marking of centre lines, edge lines, pedestrian crossings and parking bays along major streets in the C*D.

The Council says the works have become necessary due to increased traffic and pedestrian movement in the city centre, which requires clearer road markings to guide motorists and pedestrians and help reduce road traffic accidents.

Town Clerk Mrs. Chisanga Kasonde Musongole has urged motorists and members of the public to cooperate with officers conducting the works.

Motorists have also been advised to exercise caution and follow traffic diversions where road marking works are underway.

The Council says the exercise is part of its continued efforts to improve urban road infrastructure and promote safety and orderliness for all road users.

The local authority has apologised to motorists and the business community for any inconvenience that may be caused during the exercise.

EL NIÑO COULD HIT ZAMBIA’S ECONOMY

Government has warned that the expected El Niño-related drought during the 2026/2027 farming season could affect Zambia’s economy.

The drought could lead to lower crop production, food shortages and higher pressure on government finances, making it harder to fund some planned development programmes.

Government says it is already putting measures in place to reduce the possible impact of the drought and protect the Grow Zambia Agenda.

The warning comes as Zambia prepares for a farming season that could face below-normal rainfall in some areas.
