NGOCC EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ENGWASE MWALE PRESS RELEASE for Immediate Release Saturday 4th March 2017 The Non-Governmental Organisations’ Coordinating Council ( NGOCC ) condemns, in the strongest terms, the barbaric and misguided attacks on the Law Association of Zambia ( LAZ) by cadres of the Patriotic Front Party (PF). While we recognize that every citizen has a democratic right to express their views on any public institution, the attacks towards the LAZ and in particular towards the LAZ President Ms Linda Kasonde are unwarranted and clearly meant to intimidate the Association from playing it’s rightful role as a legal advisory.

Should Chiefs in Zambia be involved in ‘Active or Partisan politics’?


Notice: Undefined index: catFilterList in /home/zambi/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-likes/api.php on line 243

Wednesday May 19, 2018 By Alfred A. K. Ndhlovu [Hon.] SEVERAL political leaders in Zambia have commented, or sometimes comment, that all chiefs should not comment on political matters because as traditional rulers they must be neutral in politics. There are two terms which have not been defined properly by politicians themselves which confuse the citizens of Zambia. The terms are “active politics” and “partisan politics” to which can, or must, be added the other common phrase “traditional rulers”. Is being neutral in politics consistent with respect for fundamental human rights? Do chiefs have human rights as traditional rulers and...

Threat by Mopani to retrench 4,000 miners: it is high time Government invoked its golden share to end protectionist policies in mining sector

By Sinkamba Peter Tuesday August 22nd 2017 at 5:46pm As the Green Party, we extremely nauseated by Mopani Copper Mines (MCM)’s threaat to retrench 4,000 miners if Copperbelt Energy Corporation (CEC) sticks to cost-reflective tariffs. We find this threat, when the electorates are paying even at higher rates a perfect example of corporate impunity bred from protectionist policies. The threat is actually an insult to the Zambian Government and its people. If MCM proceeds to implement its threat, we urge Government to invoke its golden share to outvote all other shares in on this issue. The golden share held by...

By Daniel Mwamba-Zambia Road Safety Trust (ZRST) Chairperson This article offers a perspective on opportunities for the private sector to improve road safety outcomes in Zambia. Road safety has been recognised as an increasing public health burden that disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries, including Zambia. Ninety-one percent of the global road fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries although these countries have approximately half of the world’s vehicles. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 50 million people are injured and 1.25 million are killed in traffic-related crashes. Back home, the Zambia Police reported that 2206 people were killed...
