LEBOMBO BORDER POST – Sasol’s Mozambican employees have joined in the protests against South Africans, following the recent reported incidents of violence against foreign nationals in South Africa.

As a result the company announced today that it will be moving its South African employees from its operations in Mozambique.

According to Mr Alex Anderson, head of group communications at Sasol, employees of service providers working on Sasol projects in Mozambique have joined in the unrest.

“We have had no cases of violence at our sites and the situation remains calm. As a precautionary measure, Sasol and its service providers will facilitate the phased, temporary exit of approximately 340 South African nationals from our operations in Mozambique, back to South Africa. As a result projects site work has been halted for the time being.

Anderson says operations at their central processing facility in Temane and the gas-fired powerplant, CTRG in Ressano Garcia, are running as normal.

“Mozambican employees of our service providers have expressed concern around the reported incidents of violence against Mozambicans and other foreign nationals in South Africa and are also protesting about the presence of South African employees of our service providers working on the project.”

“We are taking the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all personnel and will continue to facilitate engagement with all parties involved and the relevant authorities to work towards an amicable solution. We continue to monitor the situation.”

Some South African females seen stealing from stores owned by foreign immigrants who were attacked by Zulu boys. So the men attack the stores, chase the store owners away and their women go to loot their stores. How shameful!

Zimbabwe’s High Commissioner to South Africa, Isaac Moyo says the Zimbabwean government has concluded plans to begin the evacuation of about 1,000 Zimbabweans resident in South Africa following the recent xenophobic attacks in the country.
“Identification and processing of repatriation documents has already been done. It is very sad. Most people do not have any documentation. They don’t have any clothes apart from what they are wearing. Many of them left all their clothes and property behind. We are documenting people. This process means that we are giving them some sort of documentation to use upon returning to Zimbabwe. We are organising some buses to take them from Durban to Beit Bridge (the border between South Africa and Zimbabwe). Then they will be taken from Beit Bridge to their home provinces. We would want (the departure) to be as soon as possible. People are currently living in the most difficult conditions” he told the state-owned Chronicle newspaper today.

President Lungu has urged Zambians to tone down on demonstrations against xenophobic attacks in South Africa because he is handling the issue at the highest level.
The President told Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) shortly before departure for Mpika yesterday that he is handling the matter.
“We are all concerned as Africans. Zambians are upset because they did a lot for the liberation of South Africa, particularly through the ANC. And I think we should sit down and reflect seriously,” President Lungu said.
Some Zambians have been planning to march in protest and to boycott South African products and services.
He said there should be something wrong somewhere in South Africa.
“When you talk about ‘One Zambia, One Nation, it is oneness. I think something has seriously gone wrong with the psyche of the South Africans who are behind all this,” President Lungu said.
He said Zambians must not get involved because there is sufficient leadership in South Africa to deal with the issue.
And President Lungu said he will not be distracted by his critics during the short period he has been in power.
“For me it is ‘sela tubombeko’ [give us way so that we work]” President Lungu said.

Ruling Patriotic Front (PF) Secretary General Davis Chama says he is not moved by continued attempts to have him removed from his position because people behind such maneuvers are not party members.

Mr. Chama says such maneuvers and his continued criticism are actually making him stronger and firm to continue executing his duties as PF Chief Executive officer.

He has told Qfm News in a telephone interview that he has learnt during his political career that criticism is normal as history has confirmed it that in a society an individual cannot be liked by everyone.

Mr. Chama states this is why he cannot be naïve to succumb to maneuvers to have him step down based on such normal agitations which he says are being propagated by the online media.

He has challenged any party official to come out in the open and make the allegations being spread against him that he is not working and should therefore step down as PF Secretary General.

Mr Chama has disclosed that he still enjoys a warm relationship with Party and republican President Edgar Lungu and that they are both focused on working towards the 2016 general elections.

He has since called upon all party members across the country to give President Lungu a chance to finish his mandate without any distraction.

A Thirty year old fisherman of Kavalamanja Village in Luangwa District has been jailed for 10 years for strangling his girlfriend to death after she persistently harassed him for K500.
Dolani Tembo concealed the body of Agatha Njovu, 24, in a hut for more than 12 hours without raising alarm.
Lusaka High Court Judge Mwila Chitabo established extenuating circumstances in the murder of Ms Njovu and jailed Dolani for 10 years, as a contribution to the campaign against gender based violence (GBV), which he said has seen many women lose their lives.
Mr Justice Chitabo observed that Ms Njovu was murdered in cold blood by Dolani who later fled the village without telling anyone about her death.
Dolani between October 17 and October 18 2014 strangled his girlfriend to death after inflicting her with a deep injury on her forehead and bruising on her face.
Ms Njovu’s body was discovered hours later in Dolani’s hut wrapped in a blanket with white stuff coming out of the mouth.
Dolani, who admitted to causing the death of the woman he claimed he loved, told the court that the killing was not intentional but that he was pushed to the limit by her persistent demand for K500 from him.
Dolani said he constantly checked on her with the hope that she would live but discovered her body had turned cold and that is when he ran away from the crime scene.
While on the run, Dolani was on October 29, last year spotted by some people walking on foot on the Great East Road heading towards Lusaka.
Police were alerted and they arrested and charged him with the murder of Agatha.

Zulu King Godwill Zwelithi’s utterances on March 23rd launched the Zenophobic attacks in South Africa and he had refused to apologize, even after finding out that his people have maimed, killed and destroyed businesses belonging to black foreigners. He’s still insisting that foreigners should go back to their countries but tried to save face by saying attacking the foreigners is not how to chase them away. He wants the government to do it legally.

During a speech in last month, Zwelithini called for the deportation of foreign nationals living in the country, saying it was unacceptable locals were being made to compete with people from other countries for the few economic opportunities available. King Zwelithi said “foreigners must pack their bags and go home”.

His three major complaints and why he wanted foreigners to go were; 1. SA traders in the townships said they could not compete with the prices that foreign-owned businesses were selling their products. 2; foreigners involved in crime. 3. Lack of respect shown by foreigners to locals.
Addressing Pongolo community members during a moral regeneration even, Zwelithini accused government of failing to protect locals from the “influx of foreign nationals”.He said;
“Most government leaders do not want to speak out on this matter because they are scared of losing votes. As the king of the Zulu nation, I cannot tolerate a situation where we are being led by leaders with no views whatsoever.
“We are requesting those who come from outside to please go back to their countries. The fact that there were countries that played a role in the country’s struggle for liberation should not be used as an excuse to create a situation where foreigners are allowed to inconvenience locals. I know you were in their countries during the struggle for liberation. But the fact of the matter is you did not set up businesses in their countries,” he said.
His comments were widely condemned with the SA DA describing it “highly irresponsible’ ‘Particularly given the recent spate of xenophobic attacks in South Africa, he should do the right thing – retract and apologise,”

He didn’t and his spokesman went on record to say the King had nothing to apologize for, that he meant every word he said.
“I think the people who’re complaining are misinterpreting his speech. He didn’t say foreigners must be attacked or harassed. The king was talking about foreigners who are here illegally. Some are involved in serious crimes like drug and human trafficking. We don’t need such people in our country so the king is right.” His spokesman said
After the killing spread across different cities, the king has relented a little and is planning to speak to his people this Monday in an effort to quell the attacks. He’s expected to address the public directly and clarify his statement and ask his people to stop the violence which his words started

UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema

United Party for National Development (UPND) president Hakainde Hichilema has expressed displeasure over the xenophobic attacks in South Africa, HILDAH MWAPE reports.
Mr Hichilema said in a statement yesterday that the South African government must act now to avert the attacks from spilling over to other countries.
Mr Hichilema said South Africans should dialogue with foreigners instead of treating them in a manner that can engulf the whole continent.
“The potential of retaliation is very high, but as peaceful Zambians, let us avoid retaliating to such attacks as much as possible,” Mr Hichilema said.
And CATHERINE MUMBA reports that the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has applauded Zambia for embracing co-existence after years of hosting migrants and refugees.
UNHCR country representative Laura Lo Castro has also expressed sadness at the recent xenophobic attacks in some parts of South Africa.
Ms Lo Castro was speaking when she featured on ZNBC’s Morning Live programme.

Police in Chingola have arrested a pastor of Evangel Assemblies of God in Chingola for allegedly murdering his eight-month pregnant wife.
Copperbelt deputy commissioner of police Byemba Musole said in an interview yesterday that Floyd Pule, 32, of house number 37B, Kitwe Road, was arrested on Thursday for allegedly murdering his wife Bahati Kabange, 26.
Mr Musole said the ‘man of God’ allegedly beat his wife to death on February 10 this year around 02:00 hours but the matter was only reported to police on April 15 by Ms Kabange’s relatives after Pule allegedly failed to disclose the cause of his wife’s death.
“Reports reaching us are that on the material day, the suspect was heard playing music loudly whilst praying around 02:00 hours.
“But  after a while, the suspect emerged from the house screaming on top of his voice that his wife had collapsed due to high blood pressure,” Mr Musole said.
He said Pule was only arrested on Thursday after Ms Kabange’s relatives suspected foul play and demanded a second postmortem, which was carried out on April 15 this year.
Mr Musole said the first postmortem was carried out on March 13 this year.
He said the body has since been re-buried.
“The first postmortem was not conclusive, so the relatives, who suspected foul play, demanded a second one, which indicated that the deceased died as a result of brain damage.
“The suspect has since been charged with murder and he will appear in court soon,” Mr Musole said.

A woman’s hip width has a significant correlation with her sexual behavior, according to a new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.

Researchers enlisted 148 women between 18 and 26 years old around the University of Leeds in the U.K. A researcher measured each participant’s hip width, which was defined as the distance between the upper outer edges of the iliac crest bones of the pelvis. They were then presented with a questionnaire asking them about their sexual histories, including age of virginity loss, number of sexual partners, and any emotionally significant sexual relationships. They also measured their waist-to-hip ratio, which previous research considered a crucial measure of female attractiveness.

Surprisingly, they found that hip width was correlated with the total number of sexual partners, total number of one-night stands, percentage of sexual partners that were one night stands, and number of sexual partners per year of sexual activity. And the strongest association was between greater hip width and more frequent one night stands: “[W]omen who predominantly engaged in one night stand behavior had wider hips than those whose sexual activity was mainly within the context of a relationship,” note the study authors in the journal article. But interestingly, waist-to-hip ratio did not seem to influence sexual history at all.

Surviving without sex affects the health of even those females, who have acquired over the ages the rare ability to clone themselves and perpetuate offspring without males.

Evolution has endowed females of certain species of amphibians, reptiles and fish with the ability to survive without sex.

The study found that in species where females have evolved the ability to reproduce without males relatively recently, fertilisation is still ensuring the survival of the maximum number of healthy offspring and thus males are still needed.

The researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) in Japan looked at the early evolutionary transition from sexual reproduction to clonal reproduction by studying a special case: the Little Fire Ant.

It is a species in which certain populations reproduce sexually and others clonally, yet colonies in both types of populations still have males.

The researchers studied colonies from both sexually and clonally reproducing populations.

They found that inseminated queens had close to a 100 percent success rate in terms of how many of their eggs hatched, whereas in the case of queens that remain virgins, a majority of the eggs did not make it past the early stages of embryo development.

Mating with males enables queens to produce more healthy offspring than by cloning themselves.

Sex also increases a queen’s fitness as indicated by the enhanced egg laying and hatching success rates and as a consequence, the colony’s fitness.

In case of the whiptail lizard in the New Mexican desert, which consists only of females, a type of pseudo-copulation still takes place before eggs start developing.

“It suggests that evolution places certain checks on completely eliminating sex and sexual behaviour,” said professor Alexander Mikheyev, study co-author.

The study was published in the journal The Science of Nature.

A woman gave birth to a baby on the streets of Lusaka this morning. Eye witnesses said the woman was on her way to the market when her water broke. She started screaming for help and a few people gathered around her and when they saw the baby’s head was already coming out, they helped her deliver the baby right there. The woman and her baby are said to be doing well. God is great!

A 50 year old woman of Lusaka’s Zingalume Township has sued her husband for divorce, alleging that he takes sex boosters which make him have sex with her all-night long.

This has apparently irritated the woman as she is forced to stay awake throughout the night.

Zimbabweans sex workers have invaded the country masquerading as cross-border traders selling a variety of merchandise.
At night, however, the women shift from being respectable business persons to sex workers parading in the streets of Lusaka townships and patronising lodges and guest houses.
The Zimbabwean sex workers have particularly found a haven in Chawama and Kuku townships where they lodge at two guest houses commonly known as Katete and Bulawayo.
Residents of the two townships said men from Chawama, Kuku and other parts of Lusaka had been flocking to these guest houses in a bid to have a good time with the Zimbabwean sex workers.Many of these sex workers prefer Chawama which for them has become more like a gold mine because men there prefer the Zimbabwean prostitutes to their Zambian counterparts.
A Zambian sex worker, Judith Mwila of Chawama, who has been in the business for years, said many men no longer went for locals, claiming that Zimbabwean sex workers were ‘more active and sweet in bed’.
Ms Mwila said the other unfortunate thing was that the Zambian sex workers had lost business to their Zimbabwean counterparts who had proved to be extremely cheap.
An undercover survey by the Sunday Times found that while Zambian sex workers were charging at least K50 per session, Zimbabweans were charging as low as K15.
Incidentally, this illicit business is not only conducted at the so-called Katete and Bulawayo lodges but exists in other townships as well such as Chibolya, Kanyama, Garden and Chaisa.
Zimbabwean sex workers can be found in these other townships selling their bodies cheaply, and this has compelled more and more Zambian men to prefer them to their Zambian counterparts.
Ms Mwila called on the law-enforcement officers to ensure that foreign female visitors in particular had legal documentation because many of these were sex workers were making the lives of Zambian prostitutes difficult by pushing them out of ‘business’.
“I am urging the Immigration Department to move in and check if these people have legal documents to be in the country because they are making our lives hard,” Ms Mwila said.
Another resident, Henry Ngoma, called on Lusaka City Council to move in and close ‘Katete’ and ‘Bulawayo’ lodges in particular, which he
said had been turned into brothels similar to what previously were
known as ‘midadadada’.
Mr Ngoma said the issue was getting out of hand because even young men were flocking to the two brothels because there services were affordable.
“It is outrageous because boys are also flocking to these brothels and paying for cheap sex,” Mr Ngoma said.
“I am hereby urging the council and other relevant authorities to ensure that they close them down.”
Immigration public relations manager Namati Nshinka said some of these women may have valid documents although they ended up doing something else.
The Immigration Department had in the recent past conducted operations to remove sex workers from Chawama.
Mr Nshinka said the department would soon carry out another raid and clear sex workers that might have returned to the township.
He was aware of sex workers that were operating at ‘Katete’ and ‘Bulawayo’ and warned the owners of the two places that they risked being closed down.
“We are going to carry out an operation to remove and deport all the sex workers operating at the named brothels,” he said.

Police have arrested a 30-year-old automated teller machine (ATM) operator at a bank in Ndola for allegedly stealing more than K1 million belonging to the bank.
Copperbelt Province deputy commissioner of police Byemba Musole said the alleged theft was on April 6 this year at Buteko branch.
Mr Musole identified the suspect as Mike Zulu of house number 2410 in Ndola’s Pamodzi Site and Service, who allegedly set the ATM on fire to disguise the theft.
He said Mr Zulu was arrested together with a named friend who was released due to insufficient evidence linking him to the theft.
“Yes, I can confirm that we arrested two ATM operators for allegedly stealing K1,031,380, but one was later released as there was no evidence linking him to the theft. We have decided to detain Zulu as there is serious circumstantial evidence linking him to the theft,” Mr Musole said.
Mr Musole said the suspect is alleged to have set the ATM safe on fire after allegedly stealing the money, but that other employees at the bank became suspicious as the money that was reportedly burnt did not match the missing lot.
He added that the suspect was captured by closed circuit television (CCTV) fidgeting with the safe containing the money and also trying to tamper with the CCTV server.
Mr Musole wondered why it took long for the bank to report the matter to Police, especially that the amount involved was colossal.
He also said partially burnt match sticks and banknotes were found in the ATM safe.
The suspect is custody.
“The suspect allegedly deliberately set the safe on fire so as to pretend that the money had been burnt in the inferno, but as you can see, the amount of money involved is colossal.
“So, we have detained the suspect and the next course of action on him will be decided by tomorrow,” Mr Musole said yesterday

CIVIL rights activist Brebner Changala says he has never met President Lungu or any State House official concerning the tribunal constituted to investigate alleged professional misconduct by suspended Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Mutembo Nchito.
In a statement issued yesterday, Mr Changala also dismissed assertions that his name was used by State House to frame charges against Mr Nchito.
“I have never at any point said that Mutembo Nchito is innocent. My statement was to the effect that there is no malice against the DPP on my part, hence the statement that if he is innocent, I would be glad if he was cleared,” Mr Changala said.
Mr Changala was quoted in The Post yesterday as saying that Mr Nchito never planted drugs on him.
“As for the banner headline in The Post newspaper edition of April 20, 2015 that I exposed a plot to criminalise the DPP, I know of no such a plot and I have not exposed any such a plot,” Mr Changala said.
Mr Nchito refused to comment on the matter.
The tribunal chaired by former chief justice Annel Silungwe was appointed on March 10 by President Lungu to enquire into the alleged misconduct and acts of impropriety by Mr Nchito, as provided for under Article 58, sub-article (2) and (3) of the Constitution of Zambia.
Other members of the tribunal are former chief justices Mathew Ngulube and Ernest Sakala.
The tribunal has been given eight terms of reference that include the probing of the alleged acts of impropriety by the DPP as alleged by members of the public.
They also include investigations that Mr Nchito allegedly repeatedly abused his authority by indiscriminately entering a nolle prosequi in cases in which he is alleged to have interest of his own to serve.
The tribunal has also been tasked to investigate alleged misconduct or misbehaviour of Mr Nchito, whereby on February 20, 2015, he purportedly took over prosecution of a matter before senior resident magistrate Lameck Mwale.
It has also been tasked to probe alleged misbehaviour of Mr Nchito on or about May 8, 2013, when he purportedly took over the prosecution of his known business allies Mr Fred M’membe and the Post Newspapers Limited without declaring conflict of interest.
Another term of reference will be to investigate allegations that Mr Nchito took over matters in which he has a conflict of interest relating to his business partners (Mr M’membe and the Post Newspapers Limited), and Rajan Mahtani (creditor), thereby going against his statement made before the Parliamentary Select Committee of the National Assembly of Zambia.
The tribunal will recommend to the President whether Mr Nchito ought to be removed from office for the allegations.
