Over K8 Million Worth of Copper Seized in Regional Police Operation

By Fridah Chalwe

More than eight million kwacha worth of copper cathodes and undocumented copper ore have been seized in a joint regional security operation aimed at curbing transnational crimes.

Inspector General of Police Graphel Musamba confirmed the seizure under Operation Usalama XI, which ran from October 6 to 10 across Central, Copperbelt, and Lusaka provinces.

The operation was conducted under the Southern African Regional Police Chiefs Cooperation Organization (SARPCCO) and the Eastern Africa Police Chiefs Cooperation Organization (EAPCCO), with support from INTERPOL.

Mr. Musamba said the coordinated effort also led to the arrest of 49 suspects, among them 27 illegal immigrants, 20 involved in drug-related offenses, and two linked to illegal petroleum dealings.

Other confiscated items included counterfeit engine oil, one thousand one hundred and fifty-seven packs of illicit ci******es valued at three hundred ninety-three thousand, three hundred eighty kwacha, and hundreds of bags of fake maize seed.

VILLAGE BANKING GROUPS BACKED BY HARRIET MUTINTA MATONGO SHARE K357,616 IN CHIKANKATA

Six village banking groups supported by philanthropist Harriet Mutinta Matongo have shared a total of K357,616 in Chikankata Constituency, Chikankata District.

The groups, three from Turnpike Ward and three from Kasengo Ward, gathered in Turnpike for the sharing event, which was graced by Harriet Mutinta Matongo as the guest of honour.

The Turnpike groups, which began last year with support from Matongo, shared the following amounts:

Group 1: K120,000

Group 2: K60,000

Group 3: K55,000

The Kasengo groups, formed six months ago, also with Matongo’s support, shared:

Group 1: K67,216

Group 2: K51,000

Group 3: K37,400

These figures bring the total shared amount to K357,616. All six groups started with minimal capital, boosted by Harriet Mutinta Matongo’s contributions.

During the event, Matongo expressed pride in the financial growth of the groups, attributing their success to transparency and accountability. She reaffirmed her commitment to empowering people in Chikankata, describing herself as "the soil of Chikankata" and emphasizing that uplifting the community remains one of her top priorities.

She also encouraged group members to extend the benefits of the initiative by involving more people from their communities.

Speaking at the same event, Chief Naluama’s representative, Philimon Chutu, praised Matongo for her continued support, especially for women. He acknowledged her tangible impact, stating that he had only heard of her generosity before but now had seen its real effects.

Meanwhile, Group members expressed gratitude for Matongo’s support, noting that it has enabled them to significantly grow their funds and improve their livelihoods.

The event was also attended by several Headmen and members of the UPND.

Diesel Shortage Hits Copperbelt, ERB Assures Motorists of Adequate Stocks

By Respite Kaoma

The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) has confirmed that some service stations on the Copperbelt are experiencing diesel shortages.

Speaking in an interview with Mafken news, ERB Public Relations Manager Namukolo Kasumpa revealed that out of 40 service stations in Kitwe District, 11 are currently dry on diesel.

Ms. Kasumpa stated that the country has adequate diesel stocks at the Ndola Fuel Terminal, and measures are in place to ensure that the product is distributed expeditiously to the retail network.

She attributed the shortage to distribution challenges rather than a lack of diesel stocks, assuring that they are working to restock sites that are dry on diesel.

Ms. Kasumpa further urged motorists and members of the public against panic buying, which can trigger artificial shortages.

Meanwhile, the ERB Public Relations Manager disclosed that the ERB is proactively monitoring the fuel situation countrywide to ensure the timely distribution of petroleum products.

NGOCC Rejects Proposal to Increase Presidential Nomination Fees

By Fridah Chalwe

The Non-Governmental Gender Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) has strongly opposed a proposal by Economist Noel Nkhoma, suggesting that presidential nomination fees should be increased to K5 million.

As of 2021, fees stood at K95, 000 for male candidates, K75, 000 for female candidates, and K60, 000 for youth.

Speaking to Mafken News, Acting Executive Director Florence Mende-Lufunsa urged the Electoral Commission of Zambia to reject the proposal, warning it could exclude poor and vulnerable citizens from participating in governance.

She emphasized that elections must remain inclusive, especially for marginalized groups like women and persons with disabilities, and cautioned that such high fees could fuel corruption and restrict candidacy to the wealthy elite.
