By Derrick Sinjela Agricultural policies and bumper harvest must positively transform farmers livelihood, says Party of National Unity (PNU) Secretary General Kasote Singogo. Singogo is worried that though government continuously celebrates bumper harvest figures as three thousand metric tonnes, farmers remain poor. Featuring on a Radio Maria Yatsani Voice 99.3FM Good Governance programme, anchored by Maybin Augustine Katungulu on Tuesday 23rd January 2018, Singogo says policies in agriculture must transform peasant farmers. “It is important that agricultural policies must not just provide incentives but ensure that farmers are guaranteed a good price,” said Singogo.

Image captionMasekela was given his first trumpet at the age of 14 Legendary jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela, a leading figure in the struggle to end apartheid and “the father of South African jazz”, has died aged 78.

  Lusaka, 19 January 2018: Panos Institute Southern Africa is greatly worried by recent reports attributed to the Minister of Transport and Communications, Hon.  Brian Mushimba, indicating that the Zambian government would consider restricting access to some social media platforms like Facebook. Panos views this threat as an affront to the country’s democracy and development. It is our considered view as an organisation that any restriction on social media would amount to infringement of Zambian citizens’ right to freedom of expression. It will limit the participation of Zambians in the global village, and curtail the growth of ICT based businesses....

protection-for-womens-rights-in-zambia  Placing land rights at the heart of development BRIEF Custom, Law and Women’s Land Rights in Zambia Zambia By Peter Veit INTRODUCTION: Most women in Zambia do not enjoy the same land rights as men. Zambia’s Lands Act provides support for women who hold statutory land, but the law does not apply to customary land. Most land is held under custom and most customary tenure systems do not provide women with significant land rights — even when they do, traditional institutions often do not effectively implement the rules. December 2012 Peter Veit is acting Program Director of the Institutions and Governance Program at...
