    Zambia Page 1 of 8 Zambia Country Reports on Human Rights Practices - 2003 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor February 25, 2004 Zambia is a republic governed by a president and a unicameral national assembly. Since 1991, multiparty elections have resulted in the victory of the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD). MMD candidate Levy Mwanawasa was elected President in 2001, and the MMD won 69 out of 150 elected seats in the National Assembly. Domestic and international observer groups noted general transparency during the voting; however, they criticized several irregularities. Opposition parties challenged the election results in court, and court proceedings were ongoing at year's end. The anti-corruption campaign launched in 2002 continued during the year and resulted in the removal of Vice President Kavindele and the arrest of former President Chiluba and many of his supporters. The Constitution mandates an independent judiciary, and the Government generally respected this provision; however, the judicial system was hampered by lack of resources, inefficiency, and reports of possible corruption. The police, divided into regular and paramilitary units under the Ministry of Home Affairs, have primary responsibility for maintaining law and order. The Zambia Security and Intelligence Service (ZSIS), under the Office of the President, is responsible for intelligence and internal security. Civilian authorities maintained effective control of the security forces. Members of the security forces committed numerous serious human rights abuses. Approximately 60 percent of the labor force worked in agriculture, although agriculture contributed only 15 percent to the gross domestic product. Economic growth increased to 4 percent for the year.

  • Zambia's Independence
    Zambia’s Independence In thy cozy loamy soils deeply flowed mine young blood/ In thy sun- scotched patches birth-ed thee a patriotic lad/ How this thought of hilarity mine psyche partly flood/ Thy progeny in hope mine entrails thou maketh glad/ Thy black visage daily mine heart gladly beholdeth/ For thine good, whence mine desire dryly flourisheth/ Oh Zambia, kind Mother to me thou may be more/ Oh land, thy toil, the oil that boileth our common soul! BRIEF INTRODUCTION In this chapter, the author relives the memories of Zambia’s 19th independence celebrations as a child at Mibenge Primary School in Mibenge’s village in Samfya- Mansa district of Luapula Province. It introduces the major theme of independence, the founding fathers of the independent Republic of Zambia, and the promise of a prosperous, democratic and free nation. MAJOR THEME: Independence ≈ History ≈ Politics ≈ §1.1 Mibenge was born on the ninth Christmas after Zambia became independent. My mother told me that she almost named me Mary had I been a girl, but for the second born who was already called by that name in the family. I was born Charles Chushi Zachariah Mwewa to Zachariah I 1 Kalubeya Mwewa and Justina Kunda of Mibenge village in Samfya-Mansa district in the Luapula Province of Zambia.2 I am positioned seventh in an eight-member family of only two girls: John Mwewa, Mary Kalaba, Gilbert Ng’andwe, George (also called Charles Chibwe), Joseph Ng’andwe, Jeremiah Chushi, and Anne Mwewa. When I was born, it was perhaps not a family secret that I was unexpected.

  • Csisafrica Notes
    Number 141 October 1992 CSISAFRICA NOTES A publication of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington, D.C. Zambia Tests Democracy by L. Gray Cowan Zambia drew worldwide attention in October 1991, when the country's first multiparty election in two decades ended the rule of Kenneth Kaunda's United National Independence Party (UNIP) government, which had governed since independence in 1964. UNIP won only 25 of the 150 seats in the National Assembly; all the others went to the Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) , which came into being in 1990 as an informal constellation of opposition groups. Zambia's new president is a former trade-union leader, Frederick Chiluba. In the year since the electoral triumph of the MMD, Zambians have found that democracy cannot be achieved overnight by the ballot box alone. The legacy of the single-party era penetrates almost every aspect of society; time and patience will be needed to eradicate it. For many, the transformation involves a lower standard of living as well as the assumption of individual responsibilities that a generation of Zambians has never known. The MMD's most crucial challenge is to persuade the voters who so enthusiastically supported democratic change that transforming a bankrupt economy and restructuring social values will take more than the few years promised by the new president; indeed, it could take closer to a generation. If the MMD government cannot at least point to some concrete results from its new economic policies within two or three years, it runs the risk of either being replaced at the next election by one of the growing number of new parties now appearing on the political horizon or succumbing to the temptation of imposing its own version of authoritarian one-party rule in order to complete unpopular reforms.

  • Zambia Zambia at a Glance: 2005-06
    Country Report Zambia Zambia at a glance: 2005-06 OVERVIEW Before the president, Levy Mwanawasa, and the ruling Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) can contest the presidential and legislative elections set for 2006, they must deal with accusations from the former vice- president, Nevers Mumba, that Mr Mwanawasa has engaged in corrupt practises. Mr Mwanawasa and his supporters are likely to remove the threat posed by Mr Mumba by engineering his expulsion from the MMD. However, the episode is likely to further divide the MMD and increase its unpopularity with the public. On balance, the Economist Intelligence Unit expects both Mr Mwanawasa and the MMD to be re-elected in 2006, owing to their position as incumbents, the strong support of rural voters and the disunity of the opposition. We expect the government to remain broadly on track with its agreed economic reforms, although it could slip in the run-up to the 2006 polls, which would strain, but not break, relations with the IMF and other donors. Increased copper production will boost economic growth, but this expansion will be tempered by poor agricultural performance, and so real GDP growth will be below potential, at 5.6% in 2005 and 6.4% in 2006. Drought has hit much of Zambia this year, adversely affecting agricultural output and putting upward pressure on inflation, which is forecast to average 20% in 2005. Even assuming normal weather conditions in 2006, lax fiscal policy and the ongoing depreciation of the kwacha mean that inflation is forecast to stay high, at 19%. Key changes from last month Political outlook • There has been no change to our political outlook.

  • IVES Zambia: Between Bombs and Economic Betterment
    THE SOUTH AFRICAN INSTITUTE OF INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS IVES March 1/1999 Zambia: Between Bombs and Economic Betterment FIVE BOMB BLASTS rocked the Zambian capital, Lusaka, on Sunday 28 February 1999. One exploded at the Angolan Embassy, others being aimed mainly at infrastructure targets. The last time Zambia experienced this sort of violence was ahead of the 1996 elections when a shadowy political group known as the 'Black Mambas' claimed responsibility for a number o'f attacks. Zambia's currently tense relations with Angola and the possibility of internal insurrection raise a number of questions: first, is there any likelihood of war between Angola and Zambia? Second, what are the domestic forces pitted against President Frederick Chiluba's government, and are there any reasons why they might mount such attacks? Third, what are the implications for South Africa? The Regional Dimension solution to the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where forces from Angola, Zimbabwe, Relations between Zambia and Angola have been Namibia, Sudan, Chad and Libya are involved on the strained over allegations that Zambian President side of President Laurent Kabila, with Uganda and Frederick Chituba allowed illegal weapons shipments Rwanda on the side of the (mainly) Tutsi rebels pitted to pass through Zambian territory to UNITA rebels in against Kinshasa.

It focuses on the changes the event has undergone from the seventeenth century to 2010. Initially, no Litunga had a permanent capital. It was Lubosi Lewanika I in the colonial period who introduced permanent capitals at Lealui and Lubaci. In the 1930s, Litia Yeta III surveyed the present site of Limulunga and established it as a permanent summer capital of the Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) in 1933. The study also discusses changes in the construction of ‘state barges’ in Bulozi and demonstrates how the Litungas gave praise names to them which later became their real names.
