6. Joe Malanji has always been a cheerful giver, he continued to give even when he lost to Bornwell Mutale in 2011. Priests endure several hardships. Catholic father’s are even better because they don’t have wives and children. Govt must find a way to help Priests educate their children, some kind of a special bursary. I appeal to Malanji to visit the mosque at Bulangililo and see how Zambians of other faiths are leaving, they’re also his people. He shouldn’t discriminate

    • Brian Kabwe This the only thing he knows, distributing cash and donating cars with literary no developmental programs. He has done nothing to creating jobs opportunities for thousands of unemployed youths in his constituency. Busy creating thugs as tools for the forth coming elections

13. Is there a tax ZRA will get given the transfer tax apo ?

    2

    • Sikana Andrew Sumbwa A car is not “Property” under the Property Transfer Tax Act.
      No tax is due.
      -Property includes Real Estates and Corporate Shares.

      2

    • Milimo Ngululu noted but isn’t there a tax ZRA collects on sale or transfer of a vehicle?

      2

      2

    • Sikana Andrew Sumbwa No. Not necessarily.
      Maybe just to check tax compliance records and (definitely) to issue a Tax Clearance certificate (if the tax affairs are ok).
      If they ask you to pay anything, it’s because you have outstanding tax liabilities that are, nonetheless, NOT linked to the car transaction.
      Often such payments get to be misconstrued to mean that tax is chargeable for car transfers between persons.

      1

    • Sikana Andrew Sumbwa in a normal transaction, he needs to pay 3% of the amount on the letter of sale. If its a gift in this case ZRA will determine the value but if he produces a letter of gift from the MP he may not pay anything during change of ownership but at RTSA he will pay all the costs involved including pa Police.

    • Sikana Andrew Sumbwa he needs to pay 3% of the value on the letter of sale.. No Gifts with ZRA.

    • Lufeyo Phiri I am a trusted Taxman. What is the name of the 3% Tax, under which act?

      2

    • Milimo Ngululu you need to consult ZRA you are outdated sir

      1

    • Lufeyo Phiri which tax is the 3%?

    • Moses Bix Mwale Consult ZRA

    • Lufeyo Phiri please guide some of us who want to learn since what you say is at variance with other stated opinion.

    • Lufeyo Phiri I actually meant to say Rusted Taxman.

14. Its all going to be about who doles out the most gifts and cash at the end of day. Its such a tilted playing field. Is the congregation going to be meeting the service and running costs for this merc and is it value for money for the impoverished community? Not looking a gift horse in the mouth but a bakkie or utility vehicle that could be accessed by the community would have better handout. Add Merc; Add 30 Seater Rosa Buss; Add K70,000 for Parishioners; Add: K50,000 for construction of the new church building; Add: 1400 Blankets; Add:5000 face masks; Add: K110,000 towards Church logistics. And Campaiging has’t started yet. Who says poor Zambians have poor Ministers??

15. If the Catholic church is still the institution I hv known whn I was small boy, then the Mercedes Benz car will be sold and a suitable one bought. Catholics hv never been known for conspicuous consumption. I know the vehicles Catholic clergy and sisters drive.

31. Very sad development. Firstly, a Mercedes Benz is an expensive car to maintain, so the gesture comes at no cost for the Church but after the ownership, the costs to maintain the car now place pressure on the Church finances. Secondly, the optics are just not good, if this could be done in silence without the media, it could have been better even though I retain my reservations over the costs to the Church.

32. If the priest cannot afford to buy his onw Merc how will he afford to maintain it? This is a high performance vehicle and if not well maintained it will lead to bad things. I hope the priest will sell it and use the cash for good causes.

40. Great job hon

41. Looking at the electoral calendar am not surprised over his generosity.
    They only show ‘leadership’ in these situations.

42. You are very generous man ba Malanji ..keep it up

43. you will have to admire how the patriarchs of the Bible stood on the word………..

    Daniel 5:16-17

    [16]But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom.” [17]Then Daniel answered and said before the king, “Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

45. August is near should we get amused? …a big story is behid same mercedez. I can see a church is bought.

46. Very soon these guys ii b appearing in courts..I mean soon let’s wait ND see

47. The priest is busy protecting his gift instead of asking the source of funds for such a huge donation. Was there any fundraising activities it just came from his pocket? These are pure proceeds of crime and the man of gold as allowed to be part of the crime. Let him enjoy his stolen share in silence and stop antagonising those morally upright people questioning such corrupt donation’s.

48. Great job honorable Malanji

49. This is an election year, so these bribes will be the order of the day in the PF era

50. It tells you how much free money there is to eat in Government. Boys don’t want to loose these elections and cannot imagine themselves not being in power by the end of this year. Why three gifts to one Church and one Bishop and why now???

51. Selfless gesture.

52. If the money came from the minister ‘s pocket I have no quarrel but if it’s from the public purse I object.

53. This will be my first time seeing a catholic priest driving a Mercedes Benz. By the way, is it gift to the priest or to the church????

54. is he going to donate to other churches why only give catholics and ucz

55. Some rich politicians can’t even build a hut for their own mother.

56. This is pure corruption y didn’t he donated those items last year,some of us who have witnessed this corruption it pains us,but continue supporting these useless donations, if u r cadre continue benefiting alone,if things r better for u keep quite plz plz.
