Dr Chitsabesan’s family make appeal for donations to go to worthy causes in Zambia, in his memory
The family of Sabanathan Chitsabesan, who died peacefully at home aged 73, have asked friends and relatives to make donations to an orphanage in Zambia, in his memory.
Dr Chitsabesan visited the Ebenezer Home in Zambia last year and had hoped to volunteer there before he died. His daughter Prathayini Wright, 42, said donations were also welcome to be made to the Born Free Foundation for Wildlife in her father’s memory.
Dr Chitsabesan, known as Chibby, was a GP in Bradford from 1979 until he retired at 65. He grew up in Sri Lanka, before moving to South Yorkshire in 1976.
Three years later he moved to Bradford where he worked as a GP at a practice in Oak Lane, in Manningham, eventually taking over before it moved to a new building in St Paul’s Road, in Manningham.
Mrs Wright, who lives in Wiltshire, said: “He had time for everybody.
“He also had three generations of families who were his patients and you hear about how he would go visit them when he didn’t need to, just to see how they were. We have had phone calls and messages of condolences from around the world.
“It’s only every so often you come across a person who has that special quality, anybody who met him was touched by him.”
Dr Chitsabesan, of Roundwood, Nab Wood, Shipley, was married to Ranjini and had five children and three grandchildren. The family have asked friends and family to make donations to the two causes in his memory, instead of sending flowers.
His daughter said: “He was loving, had an infectious smile, a wicked sense of humour and he was a wonderful father and an inspiration to all of us.
“A fantastic loving grandfather, he could relate to people on all levels, adults and children, and he will be missed. He will live on in his children and his grandchildren – we will never ever forget him.”
A service and cremation will take place at Nab Wood Crematorium, in Bingley Road, Shipley, from 10.15am on Saturday. A website has also been set up with tributes at chibby.101mb.com.
He died at home on Wednesday, April 28.

RB warns international institutions ‘conniving’ with opposition
President Rupiah Banda says he will not allow International Financial Institutions to connive with the opposition political parties to under-mine his administration.
President Banda urged Patriotic Front (PF) against hoodwinking the Netherlands Institute for Democracy (NID) to fund it.
Under the Zambia Centre for Inter-party Dialogue (ZCID) provisions, political parties are free to apply for funding from the NID.
Mr. Banda said the state will institute investigations to ascertain whether is it true the NID has opened an account to fund the PF to advance its campaigns.
Mr. Banda stated that he is aware of the NID operations in Zambia but expressed regret that such a clandestine activity was happening between NID and the political parties.
President Banda was responding to questions from Journalists at the Lusaka international Airport, shortly before his departure for Tanzania where he has gone to attend the World Economic Forum on Africa.
Mr. Banda is accompanied to Tanzania by Education Minister Dora Siliya, Finance Deputy Minister Chileshe Kapwepwe and other senior government officials.
The presidential plane carrying Mr. Banda left the Lusaka International Airport at exactly 14:00 hours local time.
President Banda was seen off by Defense Minister Kalombo Mwansa, Home Affairs Minister Lameck Mangani, Secretary to the Cabinet Dr. Joshua Kanganja and other senior government and MMD officials.
Meanwhile, President Banda says Zambia will learn a lot from the World Economic Forum on Africa being held in neighbouring Tanzania.
He hinted that at the Forum, there are over 1,000 potential investors of which Zambia is likely to woo some who maybe interested to invest in the country.
He said this would help address the country’s economic hardships the country is currently facing.
Mr. Banda said he is also going to learn how other countries in the region were handling problems affecting them.
President Banda will be among other African leaders who have been invited to participate in the World Economic Forum sessions.
The theme for this year’s Forum is; “Re-thinking Africa’s Growth Strategy.”
Top on the forum’s agenda are issues pertaining to higher education for Africa, unlocking Africa’s growth potential, a new vision for Africa’s agriculture and China-Africa partnership for growth among others

William Banda warns Fr Bwalya of stern action if he extends Red card campaign to Lusaka
MMD Lusaka Province chairperson, William Banda has warned of stern action against Change Life Zambia executive director, Frank Bwalya if he tries to extend his Red Card Campaign to Lusaka.
Mr Banda, who declared Lusaka as a ‘no-go area’ for Father Bwalya, said the Red Card Campaign was a recipe to stirring anarchy in the country.
He said Fr Bwalya was a mature person who should not entice innocent citizens to flash against the Government at the expense of national peace.
Mr Banda, who was speaking yesterday in Chibolya Township during a party mobilisation meeting, said the MMD would not entertain Fr Bwalya’s move and would flash him out of the city.
“Nobody should blame us for the action we shall take against Fr Bwalya if he comes to distribute his red cards in Lusaka. We shall make sure we also flash him out like he is flashing against the Government,” Mr Banda said.
He said MMD would not entertain continued insults by the Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata, United Party for National Development (UPND)’s Hakainde Hichilema and Forum for Democracy and Development president Edith Nawakwi on President Rupiah Banda.
[pullquote]“Nobody should blame us for the action we shall take against Fr Bwalya if he comes to distribute his red cards in Lusaka. We shall make sure we also flash him out like he is flashing against the Government,” Mr Banda said.[/pullquote]
He called on party cadres to ensure that all those who insulted President Banda were dealt with.
Mr Banda said people were tired of reading articles insulting President Banda in some sections of the media and his party had declared game-over against those attacking the president.
He challenged Kanyama Member of Parliament Jerry Chanda to explain to the residents why drainages and roads in the area were not rehabilitated when the Government had released the money and machinery for repair works.
Mr Banda, however, said he was happy that Lusaka, that was a base for the PF/UPND Pact, had become a peaceful land for MMD considering huge numbers of cadres defecting.
One of the defectors Rhoda Muchimba, who was PF Kanyama Harry Mwanga Nkumbula Ward 11 chairperson, said she and other defectors had seen no future plans for PF and MMD was the only productive party with effective policies.
ECZ condemns electoral violence
The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has declared a protest against violence and criminal activities perpetrated during the nominations and by-elections in Milanzi and Mufumbwe.
In a press release made available to Q fm last evening, ECZ Public Relations Manager Chris Akufuna said the Commission will be taking necessary steps to find a possible solution to the problem. He said it is saddening those 45-years after independence the country is still degenerating into political anarchy.
Mr Akufuna said the quest for democracy paved with violence cannot be accepted in the country. He said those who were involved in violence and criminal conduct seriously undermined the Electoral Commission’s voter education programmes. He, however, commended the Zambia Police Service for taking firm a stance against violence.
And United States Embassy Charge d’affairs Michael Kaplovsky has said that the violence that was recorded in Mufumbwe had the potential to influence the vote outcome.
Featuring on Monday Night Live last evening, Mr. Kalosvky said that Zambia is a peaceful country and that Zambians should maintain that. He says that Zambians should learn something from the political violence that has been recorded in other countries.
He added that Zambians should not use violence to win elections.

Kalombo Mwansa to act as President as RB leaves for Tanzania
President Rupiah Banda today leaves for Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania, to attend the World Economic Forum on Africa.
Defence Minister Kalombo Mwansa will act as President during the absence of both Mr Banda and Vice-President George Kunda.
Special assistant to the President for Press and public relations Dickson Jere said in a statement yesterday that Dr Mwansa would act because Mr Kunda is also out of the country for medical review.
In a statement, Mr Jere said the President would be among other African leaders who had been invited to participate in the World Economic Forum sessions. The theme of this year’s forum is ‘Rethinking Africa’s growth strategy’.
According to Mr Jere, the forum will discuss issues pertaining to higher education for Africa, unlocking Africa’s growth potential, a new vision for Africa’s agriculture and the China-Africa partnership for growth.

Solwezi MP Watson Lumba detained
SOLWEZI Central United Party for National Development (UPND) Member of Parliament (MP), Watson Lumba was yesterday detained after he surrendered to police in Solwezi.
Mr Lumba, whom police had been looking for since Thursday when he allegedly incited cadres to assault a uniformed police officer in the just-ended Mufumbwe by-election, turned himself in around 08:00 hours.
Mr Lumba was accompanied by his lawyer, Derrick Mulenga of Derrick Mulenga and Company of Ndola and UPND North-Western Provincial youth chairperson, Victor Lumayi.
As police were recording a warn and caution statement from Mr Lumba, some UPND supporters led by provincial chairperson, Wishikoti Katambi were seen around the main police station.
Around 12:15 hours, Mr Lumba, who was dressed in black leather jacket, a grey T-shirt and blue jean trousers, was seen emerging from the divisional criminal investigations officer’s office and exchanged pleasantries with supporters.
He handed over his car keys to one of the supporters and got onto a police vehicle, which drove him to Chawama Police Station where he was detained.
Mr Mulenga said police had not formally charged and arrested his client, but only warned and cautioned him and were detaining him. He expected his client to be charged within 48 hours.
Mr Lumba, who was campaign manager for the newly-elected Mufumbwe MP Eliot Kamondo, faces three counts of threatening violence, assaulting a police officer and abduction with intent to murder.
Police spokesperson, Bonny Kapeso said the driver of a motor vehicle that killed two children in Mufumbwe reported himself to Kasempa Police Station.
He said Kajiro Muzungu had been charged with two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and would appear in court soon.

Chief Mumena condemns Mufumbwe coffin celebration
UPND spokesperson Charles Kakoma, however, said there was nothing wrong in celebrating victory after beating MMD who had held the seat for more than 20 years.
Chief Mumena said if the political party was there for the people of Mufumbwe, it would not have celebrated its victory, but it would have sympathised with those who were injured and mourned with those who had lost their loved ones because of the incidence that took place in the area.
Chief Mumena said in an interview in Solwezi yesterday that the violence which rocked the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election was an indication that some politicians were so desperate for power that they were capable of mobilising thugs to shed the blood of innocent people to get what they wanted.
Chief Mumena condemned the behaviour of some politicians who were campaigning in the Mufumbwe parliamentary by-election for promoting violence in the area by transporting thugs from outside Mufumbwe to engage in various forms of violence.
He said the politicians who transported thugs to Mufumbwe from other parts of Zambia should be ashamed, apologise and resign from their positions because they were not fit to be leaders of the people.
“I condemn the behaviour of some politicians who went to campaign in Mufumbwe, especially those who were transporting political mercenaries to go and shed blood in the area. This is a failure of political agenda in Zambia and it is being driven by failed politicians who have run out of ideas of what multi-party politics is all about.
“If these politicians really care about the people, they would not have celebrated the victory because there was nothing to celebrate about. You don’t celebrate violence, injuries or deaths,” Chief Mumena said.
He said the royal establishment in the area would now reorganise itself and ensure that the violence that took place in Mufumbwe did not recur because people wanted peace and development in the area.
He said North-Western Province would now be a no-go area for politicians who wanted to fuel violence and set the nation ablaze because of their desperation for power.
He said he was shocked that the members of Parliament (MPs) in the area had remained silent on the violence that rocked the by-election when they were expected to air their condemnation.
Mr Kakoma said cadres used their initiative to come up with a mock coffin to show that MMD was dead in Mufumbwe and that there was nothing wrong in celebrating victory after beating MMD who had held the seat for more than 20 years.
He said his party condemned the violence in Mufumbwe and denied that UPND cadres abducted a police officer.
“We strongly condemn the violence that took place in Mufumbwe and we were not involved in the transporting of youths from other parts of the country to Mufumbwe.
‘‘On celebrating victory, I must say there is nothing wrong in celebrating the victory after beating MMD who have been holding the seat for the last 20 years,” Mr Kakoma said.

Australia to impose a 40 percent tax on resource profits from 2012
Australia will impose a 40 percent tax on resource profits from 2012 and raise A$12 billion ($11.1 billion) in its first two years. Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, preparing for an election within a year, said the changes will help the government pay for additional hospitals, retirement benefits and company tax reductions.
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, in a pitch likely to strike a chord with voters, said Australians had been shortchanged during a 10-year resources boom in which profits soared by A$80 billion, while only A$9 billion extra flowed into national coffers.
“BHP is 40 percent foreign owned, Rio Tinto is more than 70 percent foreign owned. That means these massively increased profits … built on Australian resources, are mostly in fact going overseas,” Rudd told Australian radio.
The government has picked a fight with the country’s most important single industry, which accounts for about half of exports, in a gamble that taking money from rich miners and using it to boost workers’ pension funds will prove a vote-winner.
[pullquote]Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, in a pitch likely to strike a chord with voters, said Australians had been shortchanged during a 10-year resources boom in which profits soared by A$80 billion, while only A$9 billion extra flowed into national coffers.[/pullquote]
The hugely profitable iron ore industry, dominated by Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, is seen as most vulnerable to the new tax.
Rio Tinto, the second-largest iron ore miner behind Brazil’s Vale and ahead of BHP in third, said new tax sent a bad signal to investors. UK-based miner Xstrata agreed.
Mining giant BHP Billiton announced disappointment with the plan, saying its effective tax rate on profits earned from Australian operations would increase from 43 percent to around 57 percent from 2013.
The company said that the mining resources in Australia contributed 18 percent to the country’s gross domestic product, with much of the profit put back into infrastructure projects.
BHP Billiton Chief Executive Officer Marius Kloppers said in a statement that a favorable tax environment was needed to make the Australian resource industry attractive.
“If implemented, these proposals seriously threaten Australia’s competitiveness, jeopardize future investments and will adversely impact the future wealth and standard of living of all Australians,” he said.

The Great Debate: Coach, Club & Country
The Faz Super Division clubs have this week taken on the club versus country issue to another level.
Not too long ago, clubs barely raised a voice when a coach was attached to the national team.
However, now patriotism seems to have been thrown out of the window with coaches joining their players in being reminded of their contractual obligations by their clubs.
More and more it seema, club duty is now taking a more serious turn and is a priority for Super Division teams than the prestigious honor of playing for the national team.
Zanaco and Kabwe Warriors are two subjects in question with both sides privately and publicly voicing their misgivings over their head trainer’s call-ups for national duty.
Warriors is threatening to withdraw George Lwandamina from Zambia’s CHAN preparations as the Railwaymen struggle on the table with just two wins from seven matches and are 6th from bottom in 11th place on 8 points.
Zanaco are said to be reluctant to release Wedson Nyirenda for CHAN duties with insiders citing that his understudies Mumamba Numba and Kelvin Kaindu are not yet ready to take full control of the team in his absence.
The question is, are the days of a part-time national team coach numbered in Zambia?
If Faz does settle on a local trainer for the national team, should they consider one on a fulltime basis to avoid the minefield that is being laid in the post-Renard period?
The Challenges that HH Faces
By By Kahlastwayo Cele
In life to attain greatness, whatever greatness we measure up against, we are certain to meet battles, which we cannot, indeed, must not, run away from. The darkest and most eerie demons and nightmares must be met head-on. This we must do, otherwise, we are certain to be miserable failures in life. The option of failure is a cruel one.
HH is a leader of a Political Party who aspires to the great office of commander in chief of the Armed forces, the Chief Executive officer of the Republic of Zambia. Has he counted the costs to meet such a high goal?
There is a daunting task ahead of him, no doubt. On the way to greatness one is bound to stumble, not once but many times. His recent behavior could be taken as mere slip-ups from which he could recover?
But on the other hand, these slip-ups could mean something deeper, an outward admission of failure. As an aspiring President to be, it is expedient of him not to portray a flaw in character. His reaction in Mufumbwe, at the Police station, is certainly disappointing, to say the least. The rigors and pressures of the highest office require impeccable resilience, an inner strength. So far, he has proved to lack that.
The Presidential elections are just about 12 months away and all is clear that things are gearing up. The political temperature is bound to rise even higher as we draw near to the day. And the nation is watching, every step the Politician takes. This is not a time for the aspirant to whimper and throw tantrums. There will certainly be more poking to be done.
What are the battles before HH, what hurdles lie ahead before he submits his candidature at the Chief Justice office?
His Party (UPND) in pact with Sata’s (PF) must choose between the two of them to lead. Therefore if ever HH intends to lead the nation, he must in the first place face his partner (Sata) in battle. This will be the preliminary round. This is one of his demons and nightmares. Fate demands that he cannot shy away from this battle.
HH cannot afford to be viewed as negotiating for a position from Mr. Sata. That will be the end of him.
The basic aim to form a party is to lead the nation. Any message by the Party leader that supposes that the highest office is secondary will not hold. It is inconceivable that one could form a party only to aspire for an office less than the goal. Any person who aspires to lead the nation cannot do so with a secondary objective. He would be a laughing stock.
[pullquote]The win in Mufumbwe has made it worse because whilst it proves that he is gaining popularity, it is however threatening to tip the balance away from Mr. Sata. He must face the man who called him a ‘calculator boy’ before He ever dreams of making an appointment with the Chief Justice to file his nomination papers.[/pullquote]
That is why even those who have hardly been able to have enough supporters at the final declaration of interests will still go ahead to stand as Presidential aspirants. In Politics there are no assured positions of appointment. For HH to assume he will be appointed by Sata as his Vice, in a PF government is just utter recklessness and the worst Political naivety ever.
The demons that confront HH will not sit with him and negotiate a settlement of interests, no! He must make up his mind to face his adversary. What complicates the matter is that he is not dealing with a preliminary within his own party but with another independent party.
The win in Mufumbwe has made it worse because whilst it proves that he is gaining popularity, it will however threaten to tip the balance away from Mr. Sata. He must face the man who called him a ‘calculator boy’ before He ever dreams of making an appointment with the Chief Justice to file his nomination papers.
Mr. Michael Sata, it seems has so far taken it for granted that he is the most popular between the two and as such the default candidate, portrayed by the ‘Post’ as the mature and natural option.
When HH was given to lead the UPND, the instruction handed him was to rule the nation. This is the expectation from the grassroot and the Party hierarchy. On joining the ‘pact’ the promise was with the view to win Sata’s support, who is expected to ‘return a favour’ with history in view. There is no other expectation from HH’s supporters outside this.
This is precisely why the Party stalwart, Major Chizyuka, has been under attack from within the ranks, refusing to buy into Mr. Sata’s promise. This is the thin line by which the Party holds – HH’s promise that he will lead the ‘pact’. Failure to deliver the promise will mean doom to HH and his Political life.
This explains so much why the Mufumbwe seat meant so much to him, it has given him that extra confidence besides giving hope to his supporters that he means business.
Will the staunch grass root supporters take kindly when they hear that in fact HH has accepted to fall for a deputized position under Sata? For that matter even within Sata’s PF, the Party figures such- Guy Scott, Given Lubinda who considered themselves eligible will not take kindly to such a proposition.
‘Assumption is the mother of all failures’ so it is said. HH is making a terrible assumption if he thinks Sata will allow him to lead the ‘pact’. Sata has not even as much as once allowed anyone in his Party (PF) to challenge his leadership. So why on earth does HH think that the ‘Cobra’ will give him such a favour, on a silver platter? Surely HH cannot be so naïve!
It would seem on the bare face of it that if anyone in PF showed even a slight intention to challenge Sata’s leadership, that person would literally be bitten by his bare teeth. So how on earth has HH come to the conclusion that he has become so good buddies with he, who by the way, not long ago called HH a ‘calculator boy’, that he will now hand him the candidacy? Mind you Sata’s followers have previously likened their leader as ‘their Obama’. Sata for them is fondly Obama. HH must desist from making cheap assumptions if he is to be great.
For HH to become great, he must surpass the oratory skills and brilliance of Obama, he must prove to be a greater mind than Professor Chirwa, surpass the ingenuity of Chiluba and the Diplomacy of Rupiah Banda. For to be a President of the nation requires something greater than his current circle of admirers. What a daunting Task before him.
But then, this is the price of greatness yet a great opportunity for him. HH must surpass the idea that his piece meal cattle donations are sufficient to win him a national following. Failure, as we began, is not mere easy way out, it is a great cost.
Govt hails media for enhancing national development
Government has said it attaches great importance to the role of the media in national development.
Addressing journalists in Lusaka on Monday during the commemoration of World Press Freedom Day, Acting Information and Broadcasting Services Minister Dora Siliya said government appreciates that the media is the loudest whistle blowers on issues of national development.
She said government would always engage the media as ‘social partners’ in arriving at solutions to issues that may create insecurity among journalists.
Ms. Siliya said government wants to see the media develop into a vibrant and effective player in national development.
She advised the media to work together with the government to arrive at a common goal to enhance development.
Press Freedom Committee of the Post, Secretary General, Sheikh Chifuwe said the media in the country is still operating under restrictive laws which need to be repealed to enhance the flow of information to tax payers.
He said journalists have continued to be harassed by known people without the perpetrators being brought to book.
Mr. Chifuwe said the Zambian government can not afford to be among the countries of the world that suppress the media through regulation.
He noted that Zambia could do better with regards to media freedom.
Post newspaper News Editor Chansa Kabwela was during the occasion named as this year most courageous Journalist of year and ‘Press Freedom’ award winner.
Meanwhile U.S Embassy Charge d’ Affaires Michael Koplovsky has called on the Zambian Government to cement its reputation as a leader in Africa by passing freedom of information legislation.
Mr. Koplovsky said evidence show that a free press and a society empowered with freedom of information laws could crush corruption out of society.
He said countries that reject corruption attract investment to create jobs and to up lift citizens out of poverty.
Mr. Koplovsky said the free flow of information holds governments accountable, contributes to well-functioning markets, improves education, and enables citizens to make informed decisions about their health and welfare.
He, however, expresses concern that the theme for this year’s World Press Freedom day “Access to Information Right to know”, reinforces the popular myth that freedom of information is primarily a media issue.
Mr. Koplovsky added that it is his hope that the press around the world would seize this day to inform every citizen of their stake in safeguarding freedom of information by ensuring enactment of right legislation.
