LUANSHYA KICKS OFF USD240 MILLION SOLAR POWER PROJECT IN MOVA HILL

By Constance Shilengwe

LUANSHYA District has officially begun construction on a USD240 million solar power plant in Mova Hill, Roan Constituency, a development expected to transform the local economy and energy landscape. The project will generate 200 megawatts of solar power alongside 180 megawatts of battery storage, making it one of the largest renewable energy initiatives in the Copperbelt.

The project, led by Metrogold Limited in partnership with Renergy of Hungary, is projected to create 500 jobs during the construction phase and 200 permanent positions, providing meaningful employment opportunities for local families and boosting the district’s socio-economic growth.

Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony yesterday, Copperbelt Minister Elisha Matambo emphasised the project’s potential to power homes, support local businesses, attract new mining ventures, and strengthen the district’s economy. He urged the company to engage the local community, source materials locally, and ensure the project benefits future generations.

Metrogold CEO Professor Matamyo Simwanda highlighted the milestone, noting that the plant will not only generate renewable energy but also help ease the national energy burden and diversify Zambia’s power supply.

Luanshya District Commissioner Paul Malele described the event as historic, noting that this marks the fourth major project, being established in the district. Meanwhile, the District Mayor pointed out that the project presents an opportunity for critics to acknowledge the development taking place under the New Dawn administration.

The Mova Hill solar plant promises to be a game-changer for the Copperbelt, showcasing Zambia’s commitment to sustainable energy, job creation, and long-term economic growth.

WHY THERE ARE NO PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS IN CHINA

No Chinese citizen wakes up one morning saying: “I’m going to vote for my president.”

WHY?

Because the Chinese president is not chosen by the people. He is selected by members of the CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY.

But wait — it’s not a political party like you might imagine. It’s not a neighborhood political club anyone can join.
NO.

The Chinese Communist Party is an ELITE.
You don’t get in just because you want to.
You get in because you are SELECTED.

And who gets selected?
ELITES.
TRAINED individuals.
EDUCATED individuals.
POWERFUL people.
People who have already proven their ability to think STRATEGICALLY, ECONOMICALLY, and POLITICALLY.

Why this model?
Why not let the people choose, like in other countries?

Because China’s system is based on a BRUTAL but REALISTIC observation:

Someone who is poor, who doesn’t know if they’ll have food tonight, who doesn’t know if they’ll survive the night… cannot possibly have the clarity of mind needed to choose a country’s president.

Yes, it’s hard to hear.
But it’s the TRUTH.
Someone who can’t even understand their own life… can’t understand the life of a country.

Do you really think a poor person who knows nothing about geopolitics, economics, international relations, industrial strategies, national defense… can wisely choose who should govern a power like CHINA?

I don’t think so.

You can be emotional, shouting “democracy, democracy,” but China is PRAGMATIC.

It prefers to entrust the governance of its people to TRAINED MINDS, to people who have been SELECTED, SCREENED, TRAINED for this.

Because if you can’t govern your own life, how can you choose a leader for 1.4 billion people?

That’s why in China, it’s not the people who vote.
It’s the Chinese Communist Party that chooses.

And even to be part of that Party, you need a certain LEVEL, a TRACK RECORD, ACHIEVEMENTS.

Power is not earned through emotional ballots —
it is earned through COMPETENCE, RIGO

QUICK DECISION IN UNIP CASE RAISES MORE QUESTIONS WHY COURTS HAVE STALLED PF CASES

Once again, the Zambian Whistleblower is compelled to raise questions for the attention of Chief Justice Mumba Malila, as head of the Judiciary.

News has just emerged that the Lusaka High Court has made a decision reafirming Bishop Trevor Mwamba as leader of the United National Independence Party (UNIP), and warned the faction led by Col. Henry Muyoba to steer clear of the Party's affairs.

This ruling was issued on 9th May, 2025 by Lusaka High Court Judge Charles Zulu.

The court has also reinstated Secretary General Lazarus Mulenga Mwiche, who was appointed by the Central Committee of Bishop Mwamba.

In what seems to be a comprehensive decision to resolve these matters, the court has also stated that the earlier injunction issued against Col. Muyoba and his parallel party conference, whose orders remained in force.

The Registrar of Societies has been advised to take the directives and the details of the ruling.

The handling of this matter involving UNIP has been so thorough and straightforward that it suggests uncharacteristic efficiency in handling court disputes involving members of political parties.

Such efficiency has been so glaringly absent in the manner the courts have been handling the disputes over the leadership of the largest opposition party, the Patriotic Front (PF).

One would be mistaken into thinking the PF matters are being processed under a different legal system from that which is handling cases involving members of UNIP.

When the various cases involving PF members were once consolidated over a year ago, there was hope that the courts would make a quick determination of whether or not the so-called extraordinary convention through which Miles Sampa first grabbed the PF Presidency was done inline with the PF constitution.

But nothing of the sort has happened. Instead, parliament has further complicated the PF matters by speedy recognition of whichever clai

*A Constitutional Drama*
‎
‎_An article by the Rt. Rev’d. Dr. Musonda Trevor Selwyn Mwamba, President of the United National Independence Party (UNIP), Wednesday 19 March, 2025, Lusaka, Zambia._
‎
‎Since Zambia’s Independence 60 years ago she has had various Constitutional changes and review Commissions, namely:
‎
‎*Mainza Chona* Constitutional Review Commission;

‎*Mvunga* Constitutional Review Commission;

‎*Mwanakatwe* Constitutional Review Commission; and

‎*Mung’omba* Constitutional Review Commission.
‎
‎Governments in all these constitutional reviews have used the *Inquiries Act* to initiate the process which bestowed upon them excessive powers to manipulate the process.
‎
‎As the renowned International Legal Academic, Professor Melvin Mbao noted:

_“in the case of constitutional review commissions, the Act empowers the President to determine the terms of reference of the review Commissions and have exclusive right of access to and control of Commission Reports.”_
‎
*‎So, government has the power to reject or accept the recommendations, as it sees fit.*
‎
‎There is nothing more fundamental to a functioning democracy than the full participation of the people; this is a fundamental human right of every citizen more so in the making of an constitution.
‎
‎Yet, here in Zambia, past governments have failed to abide by this cardinal tenet that underpins our society. We can only suppose that those failures have been motivated by specific political interests of the time.
‎
‎The 2005, Mung’omba Commission’s main recommendation was that the people should define the constitution-making process and that the constitution should be a product of the sovereign will of the people. It should be made and amended through popular mandate, not through the Inquiries Act and that in order for the Constitution to stand the test of time, it ought to be a product of the will of the people, expressed directly by the people.

*‎To date this wise recommendation has not been implemented b

Know your History; noti lyonse iyaba sungu...

*Do you know why we celebrate Youth day on 12 March in Zambia?*

This is the day UNIP youths lead by Alexander Chikwanda fought running battles with the imperialist police in 1962 in Kitwe. They had nothing but sticks and stones, a great number of them were killed and many gravely injured that day.

The spirit of Mundia Sipalo, Omello Mumba, Justin Kangwa, Chandwe Musonda and many others too numerous to mention continues in Economic Freedom Fighters today. Without them sacrificing including their lives, we wouldn’t be here today.

The plan was hatched in Ndola to attack the Kaundas’ who were housed at Mr Mutemba’s residence in Chimwemwe opposite Mindolo Police Station on the Kitwe Chingola road. As they hatched the plan, one of the native (Zambian) cleaners earsdropped on the plan and alerted the youth after knocking off at 17 hours.

The plan was to be implemented in the early hours of the following morning. So at 18 hrs, the youth led by abena Alexander Bwalya Chikwanda (ABC) and others walked from Ndola to Kitwe and arrived around midnight were they alerted and evacuated the UNIP leadership of KK and Co from the Mutemba residence.

And according to plan, the colonial forces besieged the Chimwemwe house at 03 hrs and petrol bombed it and sprayed bullets to ensure not a soul occupying the place lived. Luckily, the house was unoccupied as everyone was already evacuated by the youth.
Come day break, KK and Co were to hold a public rally in Chimwemwe where they were to among other things, expose the colonial masters.

Sensing embarrassment, the colonial regime decided to invoke the infamous POA and unleashed the entire Kamfinsa Para Military Mobile Unit to contain and disrupt the Chimwemwe rally which was to be…. The mother of all rallies.

Determined to protect their leadership and allow for the public rally to take place, the youth went into town and caused serious havoc; they disrupted normal business and put stones, r
