Konkola Copper Mines-sponsored Zambia Open Golf tourney tees-off greener and richer!
O
ver 100 professional and amateur golfers will tee-off on the brightened greens
of Nchanga Golf Club in search of insignia and
top-prize money during the 2011 Zambia Open
Golf tournament, a fixture in the Southern African Sunshine Tour.
The tournament billed for October is the premier golf championship in Zambia, which draws
the attention of many local and international
players.
Golfers from Great Britain, Brazil and Kenya,
including those from Zimbabwe form part of the
pack pursuing the major prizes on the Zambia
Golf Union (ZGU) calendar.
Fighting for top honours will also be some big
name players from Uganda, Botswana, South
Africa and Nambia. In addition, about 160 caddies from Lusaka and the Copperbelt have all
been trained for the event and several hundred
officials, support staff and spectators are all
geared-up to grace the biggest sporting event
held in Chingola for decades.
Hosting this tournament fulfills Konkola Copper Mines (KCMs) vision to reward residents of
Chingola and its employees with a major sporting event that unlocks massive economic and
social benefit for many, says CEO Jeyakumar
Janakaraj . It also underlines the importance of
KCMs focus on Zambias sports development,
under its Corporate Social Responsibility programme.
In a bid to attract several high-ranked players,
KCM has increased the purse by 50 percent to
1.2 million rand. This makes this golf champion-
ship the richest-ever hosted in Zambia in recent

times. The tournament will also return to the
traditional four-day format.
world-class glory in a manner that

is sustainable and preserves the
heritage.
The organizers have 10 slots reserved for

the Zambia PGA members and another 10 for
top-ranked ZGU amateurs, who were selected
based on their ZGU Order of Merit standing,
good behavior and their potential to play for the
national team.
As expected, the restoration of

the Nchanga Golf Club has included
structural improvements to the
course and club house, the installation of a modern automated irrigation system and the purchase of
course maintenance equipment at
a projected cost of more than $2
million.
We expect the 2010 Zambia Open Champion,

Adilson da Silva of Brazil to return to defend his
title. The three U.S.-based Zambia golfers, Madalitso Muthiya, Fidelis Malembeka and Melissa
Nawa, have also been invited, says Matthew
Nkhuwa, the Chairman of the 2011 Zambia
Open Organising Committee.
Mr Janakaraj says KCM views the hosting
of the tournament as a wonderful opportunity
to restore one of Zambias treasured sporting
facilities to its glorious past and to showcase an
international sporting event that brings pride to
Zambias sports fraternity.
It is an honour to have some of the talented
players of this globally revered game converging on the greens at Nchanga Golf Club this
year. Of course, we all know that the economic
and sporting benefits for Chingola and the
entire country are tremendous, says Mr Janakaraj.
GUIDING LIGHT TOWARDS TOP

RANKINGS
Beyond the 2011 tournament, Konkola Copper Mines and the Nchanga Golf Club management, in conjunction with the ZGU aim to use
the 2011 Zambia Open tournament
as a guiding light to work-out some
of Zambia players ranking into the
top-100.
Preparations for this years Zambia
Open Golf tournament by KCM management and the Nchanga Golf Club
officials, were initiated in April last
year and coming on stream in November, focused on the present and
post-tournament use of the Nchanga
Golf Club.
Mark Wiltshire Golf (Pty) of South

Africa, an eminent golf course development company, was engaged
Workers put final touches to the refurbished course at Nchanga Golf Club in the to restore the course to its former
key mining town of Chingola
Further investments have gone

into reconstructing the bunker
to modern standards and adding
14new fairway bunkers to increase
the challenge in choosing playing
strategies on some holes.

during the peak of the course refurbishment
The refurbishment of the Nchanga Golf Club,

which was established in 1936 and saw golf first
played on the current 18-hole layout in 1946,
should also enable the course, which became
famous and a choice destination for world-class
golfers like Bobby Locke and Garry Player to attract even more local and foreign golfers in the
future.
In fact, the 1979 September issue of Golf
Digest Magazine, ranked Nchanga the 14th
best course in the world outside of the United
States, bracketed between Ballybunion (13th)
and Walton Heath (15th), which are still topranked golf courses. But in the years that
followed, this accolade slipped away from
Nchanga Golf Club, as a result of several years
of inadequate reinvestment in upgrades.
Not all is lost as Nchanga still has the best
championship layout in Zambia and would rank
well in the sub-region, says Mr Nkhuwa.
According to Golf Digests The Worlds Greatest Golf 2009-10 booklet, presented by Rolex,
Nchanga is the only golf course noted as a fine
course out of the five Zambian golf courses considered in the category Planet Golf Top Courses
in 199 Countries.
EVENT TO CREATE IMMENSE

SOCIO-ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Developing the golf facility and bringing a
full-time teaching professional will encourage
more people, previously uninvolved in the sport
to start playing and enjoying golf, especially
children from the local schools and some ladies,

says KCMs Director-Strategy and Business Development, Bradapan Gnanasivam.
Mr Gnansivam said the tournament would
support catering and lodging businesses in Chingola, adding that local contractors benefitted
during the construction stage of the golf course.
This is also in line with the wellness program
that encourages employees to take-up active
sports, says Mr Gnanasivam.
After the Zambia Open we will see more
sports tourists from other parts of the country
and probably abroad coming to play at Nchanga
and spending money in Chingola, he adds.
The Permanent Secretary for Youth, Sport and
Child Development Teddy Mulonga says besides
the financial benefit accruing to the National
Treasury following the hosting of the golf event,
KCM has helped to re-inculcate the values of
broader participation in sport.
Sport is absolutely important because apart
from being a national unifier, its good for maintaining mental and physical health. So we must
commend KCM for bringing the Zambia Open
Golf tournament to Chingola, says Mr Mulonga.
No one can take that important role away from
them.
Mr Mulonga says professional golfers also help
society to remain focused on maintaining higher
discipline standards as the sport requires them
to lead by good example.
Bon Voyage
Out of sport we also get role models, it provides income to so many people, especially young
people, and tax benefits accruing to the government are quite large. I am glad KCM is taking
the mantle to move the sport of golf forward by
refurbishing the Nchanga Golf Club, he says.
with
Mr Mulonga says Zambians should be encouraged to excel at the Zambia Open Golf tournament because the prize money they are likely
to bag would be pumped back into the national
economy.

When the money comes back into the economy

it creates a buffer for the government to promote
economic growth, he says.
Powering the greens: State-of-the art irrigation pumps

The Zambia Open Golf tournament has raised

the confidence that Nchanga will certainly return
to being a leading golf course in Africa for professional golf tournaments and leisure rounds for
avid golfers and many other Zambians.

Clove processors in the Tidore village of Lada-Ake
The most visible fortress on Tidore

is the Spanish-built Benteng Tohula
By: Tom Cockrem
ive hundred years ago, a fifteen hundred year-old

navigational mystery was solved. The fabled Spice
Islands of the faraway Indies were found. Little
wonder they had eluded western mariners for so long.
They were as their Portuguese discoverers found
mere specks in a vast and island-studded sea. They
alone in all the world grew clove and nutmeg trees.
They still grow them today, and carefully preserve the
emblems of their tumultuous past. They also make a
modern day visitor feel at home amongst old friends.
Like they did the English pirate/navigator, Francis Drake,
in 1579. He was royally received and entertained.
The two key Spice Islands Pulau Ternate and Pulau
Tidore are virtual twins. Both measure only eight or
so kilometres in diameter, and both sit side by side off
the west coast of the comparatively huge (and crazily
K-shaped) Pulau Halmahera. The island groupings
between Java and West Papua are collectively known as
Maluku, or The Maluccas. Ternate and Tidore are both
high volcanic cones, with urban settlement restricted to
their narrow coastal rims. Ternates volcano - Gunung
Gamalama - erupted in 1840 demolishing the islands
every home.
The folk of Ternate, though, have proven through
the centuries to be remarkably resilient. Kota Ternate
remains the second largest urban centre in the Maluccas
(after Ambon). Its a throbbing little metropolis,
stretching a good 10 km along the islands eastern
coast.
Youll never be in want of a friend in Ternate. Hello
Mister! is the catch cry as you pass, often followed
by efforts to converse with you in English. I must have

acquired at least half a dozen spontaneous guides in the
three days I was there. And no recompense was sought.
The towns social hub is the enigmatically named
Swering. By night it hosts myriad warung, or makeshift
eateries, between and along its several foreshore
promenades. The choice of cuisine is overwhelming. Its
best to just close your eyes and take a punt you wont
be disappointed. But dont expect a nice cold beer with
your barbecued seafood banquet. Alcohol is officially
banned on the island.
central. Painstakingly restored, the sites gardens alone

are worth journeying to see, and you get panoramic
views of the very lush and mosque-studded suburban
surrounds.
The main seat of Portuguese power was a settlement
called Ave on the islands southern coast. Whats left
are the scant ruins of a hospital, an old well still in use,
and a fort called Nosra Senora del Rosario. You are
somehow not surprised to learn it dates way back to
1522.

The cloves of Maluku the so-called fragrant nails were once literally worth their weight in gold. In Europe,
the aromatic spices helped preserve and improve the
flavour of meat. They were essential ingredients in
potions and lotions, and were also burnt as incense.

In search of the aromatic gold, the Portuguese found

the islands by an odd mix of fortunes. A shipwrecked
crew in Ambon were invited to Ternate by the Sultan,
who was curious to meet this new breed of human
beings. And so the secret soon was out. Once they
gained a foothold, the colonialists proceeded to rule their
new possession with an iron fist, and with scant respect
for local sensibilities, and scant concern for local human
life.
Their main concern was to fortify the place against
their rivals, the Spanish. The forts they constructed are
still visible today, in various stages of ruin and repair.
Their earliest effort was Benteng Tolukko (1511). Its
a small and oddly shaped (some say womb-shaped)
breastwork that sits atop a coral stone rise north of
Benteng Kalamata, built in 1540, has come through in

better shape. Lying just south of central, it sits almost
on the water, with the waves lapping up against its
neatly reconstructed walls.

The present days Sultans Palace, or Keraton,

dates back to 1796. Part of it serves as a moderately
interesting museum. The royal mosque is nearby an
impressive wooden structure crowned by a gigantic
multi-tiered pyramidal roof.
Once Ternates keenest rival, neighbouring Tidore is
nowadays something of a backwater. The island can
boast no urban development as such, only a series of
sleepy coastal villages. The largest of these is Soasio.
The only hint of metropolis is the market in the little
northern enclave known as Goto.
Children from Benteng Kalamata

The heavy-handed Portuguese soon came unstuck.
They murdered Ternates Sultan Khairun. The people
rebelled, besieged the occupiers, and finally expelled
them. This was in 1575. And along with the Spanish,
they were finally ousted by the new kids on the block
the Dutch.
The Dutch would govern the islands for the next four
hundred years. It is they, not surprisingly, who have left
the most impressive architectural relic on Ternate. This
is Fort Oranye. It dates back to 1607 and is remarkably
well preserved. Best of all, it lies in the heart of the
town is part of the town.
The fort houses the police and army barracks, as
well as an amiable little kampung. All of this makes it
that much more fun to explore. You can also traverse
the tops of the thick fortress walls, and check out the
bastions, two of which still bristle with old cannon.
Goto is also the gateway to the spice-growing villages

on the slopes of the volcano Gunung Api Kiematubu.
The village to head for is Lada-Ake. Though retaining
just a handful of traditional style houses, there is
a palpably old-world timelessness about the place.
The cloves are still grown and processed in the timehonoured way, with the pickers climbing high into the
branches of the trees. Sorting is done by the women on
the verandas of their homes.
The most visible fortress on Tidore is the Spanishbuilt Benteng Tohula. It sits high on a ridge overlooking
Soasio. Just up the road are the very scant remains
of the old Sultans Palace, with a new incarnation very
slowly taking shape. Nothing moves too quickly on
Tidore.
Come to think of it, nothing moves too quickly on
Ternate as well, except the time you get to spend
here. Yes, Indonesias fabled Spice Islands do warmly
beckon. They also roundly entertain. I left with what I
hoped was a pretty fair idea how the islands must have
impressed themselves on Francis Drake in 1579. He, of
course, left laden with aromatic gold, but I just left with
a strong will to return.

T
he gusto and vigor demonstrated by Kansanshi Mine

employees in the recent First Aid Inter-Departmental
Competition underscores the premium the mining company
places on safety.
The companys motto of:
no job is so important that
it cannot be done safely was
brought to the fore when the
various departments staked
their claim for the top prize in
the first aid competition that
is now in its fourth year. The
Process Plant that emerged
victorious showed that safety
is not just a matter of life and
death, but it is much more
Martin Gilchrist, the
than that.

to reinforce Kansanshi Mines
and tireless efforts in
first aid mobilisation
strong emphasis on safety, a
totalled to the success of position that has made the
the competition
mine consistently score the
lowest fatalities and accidents.
He said: When I heard about this competition, I had a

wrong impression about first aid but today I am impressed
to see an advanced exhibition of high life-saving skills. It
is gratifying to note that Kansanshi has taken the issue
of safety very seriously and I wish to encourage other
companies and contractors to join the crusade.
Martin Mpasela speaking on behalf of his teammates
from the Process Plant said: Our success has been
due to team coordination, efficiency and support from
management. This competition has given us the pride to
show to the world that we are ready to save life in any
accident by applying the skills learnt.
Mpaselas team subdued FQMO A, FQMO B, and KMP

Second place went to FQMO A whose team members
walked away with K400,000 each. Third and fourth places
went to FQMO B and KMP Engineering with each team
member receiving K350,000 and K300,000 respectively.
Martin Gilchrist, Safety Manager for Kansanshi Mine
said: We need to have the right first aid skills. Thats
why Kansanshi Management is striving to equip every
miner with the highest levels of life saving skills, which
would enable them to effectively deal with life-threatening
situations in the workplace and at our homes.
As at 31st July 2011 Kansanshi had recorded 2,813,119

First Quantums landmark

listing on Zambias local bourse
O
n 20 July 2011 First Quantum became the

first mining company to list on the Lusaka
Stock Exchange (LuSE), a move applauded
as an avenue for Zambians to invest directly
in the copper mining industry that is the
mainstay of the countrys economy.
First Quantum Minerals Zambian Depository
Receipts (ZDRs), trading under the symbol of
FQMZ (ISIN ZM0000000375), on the first day
of trading appreciated by 25 percent from the
initial price of K4,700 per share.
Burger said: This competition demonstrates our

commitment to safety. It reinforces the values and
practices behind our motto of no job is so important that
it cannot be done safely. In addition, we see this as a
platform to inculcate the same values and practices among
other companies and contractors working with Kansanshi
Mine.
Burgers views are equally
shared by government that
wants to see high standards of
safety in the mining industry.
Process Plant workers happily display the trophy to other first

aiders and spectators at the stadium after being declared
winners of the competition.
hailed First Quantum for becoming the first

mining company to issue shares on the local
stock exchange.
The capital market is very excited about
this development and establishes the LuSE as
a prime listing destination for multinational
mining companies operating in the region, she
said.
She added: The listing avails Zambians the
opportunity to invest directly in the company.
First Quantums common shares are listed

on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the
London Stock Exchange. With this move, First
Quantum becomes the first mining company
to list on the LuSE. The common shares
underlying the ZDRs rank paripassu (on equal
footing) with all other common shares of the
company.
Commenting on the listing, Pangaea

Renaissance Securities Limited chief executive
officer Ceaser Siwale said, The First Quantum
listing has been very well received by Zambian
investors, and we at Renaissance Capital are
delighted to have worked with First Quantum
to bring this landmark transaction to the
Zambian market.
A depository receipt is a negotiable financial

instrument issued by a bank to represent a
foreign companys publicly traded securities.
The depository receipt trades on a local stock
exchange. It makes it easier to buy shares in
foreign companies because the shares of the
company do not have to leave the home state.
Renaissance Securities are the book runners

for First Quantum.
LuSE chief executive officer Beatrice Nkanza
First Quantum Resident Director Kwalela

Lamaswala said the listing is in recognition
that Zambians are important stakeholders of
First Quantum and creates another way for
Zambians to identify with and participate in
the growth of the company.

Canada-EU mining body hails

First Quantums K6.5 trillion tax
contributions to Zambia
A
Canadian-EU mining association has hailed

First Quantums tax contributions to Zambia,
totalling K6.5 trillion (USD1.372 billion) to
date since 2006 when the mining companys
Kansanshi Mine attained tax-paying status.
The Canada-EU Mining Council (CEUMC), a
Canadian-based industry association established
in 2009, believes that highlighting the financial
contribution First Quantum makes to Zambia
underlines the critical importance financial
transparency plays in developing a nations
resource sector.
First Quantum, a Toronto, London and Lusaka
listed mining company, is a member of the
CEUMC. The CEUMC advances and promotes
the interests of Canadian mining companies
operating worldwide that invest, develop and
trade in sustainable and responsible mining
production and trading of metals and minerals.
The CEUMC and its members also actively
support the principles of the Extractive Industries
Transparency Initiative (EITI) that encourages
full transparency by companies and countries to
account for earnings and taxes received from a
nations natural resources.
It is vital that transparency not only enables
good projects to be developed, but ensures
that they deliver benefits to those who own the
resources the people of Zambia, said James
Small, Executive Director of the CEUMC. The
resources belong to Zambia, but it takes a strong
and committed Canadian partner to unlock the
benefits. That is why the CEUMC is pleased
to highlight the contribution First Quantum is
making to Zambias growth and development.
He added: Encouraging full financial
transparency by companies and countries in accordance with prevailing mining laws
and development agreements will enable
communities, countries, companies and
international development partners to know how
much is being earned, and how much is being

received from a nations mineral wealth. This
is why we strongly endorse Zambias efforts to
become an EITI Implementing Country.
The total amount of corporate tax paid by
First Quantums Kansanshi Mine to the Zambian
government between January and June 2011
reached K2.1 Trillion (USD432 million), and a
total of K4.9 trillion (USD983 million) since 2006.
The Zambian government owns 20 percent of
Kansanshi Mine through ZCCM-IH.
Add to this mining royalties of K900 billion
(USD180.1 million), PAYE and Duties of K725
billion (USD145 million), and dividends to the
Zambian government of K168 billion (USD33.6
million) and the total contribution from the
Kansanshi Mine alone to Zambia since 2006
increases to K6.5 trillion.
The result is that, presently, Kansanshi Mine is
contributing K7.5 billion (USD1.5 million) per day
to Zambia in various taxes.
This makes Kansanshi Mine the largest tax
payer in Zambia, and was recognised by the
Zambia Revenue Authority (ZRA) with the 2010
Tax Payer of the Year Award.
According to the CEUMC, as great as the direct
economic benefits are, the indirect spin-offs are
more significant. These include:
The dignity that comes from providing a

good, safe and rewarding job to those who
make their livelihood from Kansanshi Mine.
The positive impact on the lives and

prospects for the families of the 4 400
Zambians employed at Kansanshi Mine.
The hundreds of contracts totalling billions

of kwacha with small and medium sized local
suppliers and contractors doing business with
the mine, and
The improvements to local health,

infrastructure, farming, education, arts,
culture, sporting and other programmes
funded in whole or part by First Quantum to
improve the lives of ordinary Zambians.
First Quantums recent announcement of

K10 trillion (USD2 billion) additional investment
in Zambia is expected to enhance and augment
existing social-economic benefits for Zambians
from the countrys mineral wealth. The company
plans further expansions of its existing Kansanshi

Mine, development of Sentinel Mine, the first of
three potential mines at its new large-scale mine
project, Trident and investment in a new copper
smelter.
Furthermore, First Quantum listed on the
Lusaka Stock Exchange (LuSE) in July 2011 to
allow Zambians to participate directly in the
growth of the company.
National exhibitions help showcase First

Quantums positive influence in Zambia
W
hat happens when a mining company joins

exuberant exhibitors and visitors at national
exhibition shows? First Quantum used the just-ended
Lusaka Agriculture & Commercial Show, the debut
Zambia International Mining and Energy Conference
(ZIMEC), Zambia International Trade Fair (ZITF) and
the Copperbelt Mining Agriculture and Commercial Show
to showcase the positive contribution it was making to
Zambias social-economic growth.
The comments and questions from the visitors served as

positive indicators of the return on the investment in the
exhibitions. Here are examples of the more telling: I did
not know that you pay K7.5 billion per day in various
taxes, exclaimed one visitor. Who should I talk to about
buying your copper? inquired another. I would like to
see the chisels you use to hammer the stones, queried a
third. Im an engineer, how can I apply for a job? asked
a potential employee.
First Quantum Resident Director Kwalela Lamaswala said

he was satisfied, particularly with the comprehensive range
of information that highlighted the positive influence First
Quantum was having on the lives of ordinary Zambians.
Im delighted that the size and profile of the first
Zambia International Mining and Exhibition Conference,
the Lusaka Agriculture and Commercial show, Zambia
International Trade Fair and the Copperbelt Mining
Agriculture and Commercial Show provided First Quantum
with opportunities to reach huge audiences in making
more visible the positive impact we are having in uplifting
the lives of ordinary Zambians, who we consider to be
important stakeholders in our company.
He added: The high number of visitors we hosted at our
stands in the high profile exhibitions clearly demonstrates
that we have been able to design a highly professional
platform that we can use to meet the ever-increasing
demand for information and transparency.
Lamaswala cited four ways in which First Quantum
is influencing positive social-economic progress
Contributing to the national treasury with tax payments;
increasing investment in corporate social responsibility
programmes; boosting investor confidence in Zambia
through increased investment at Trident, a new largescale mine, expanding operations at Kansanshi Mine that
it co-owns with the Zambian government and creating
direct and indirect jobs for thousands of Zambians.

Tribute to two great

entrepreneurs
Step back 100 years in Matjiesfontein

by Dick Jones
The Lord Milner Hotel was a hospital during the Anglo-Boer War.
BOUT 240 kilometres from Cape Town, on the

national road to the north, a fluttering union
jack marks the turn-off to the historic village of
Matjiesfontein, famous beyond South Africas borders
after starting as an insignificant wayside station in the
1880s.
The village owes its name to a type of bullrush called
matjiesgoed used for making mats, and it owes its
fame to two remarkable entrepreneurs - James Douglas
Logan, born in Reston, Berwickshire, in 1857, and South
African hotelier David Rawdon.
The son of a minor Scottish railway official, Jimmy
Logan left school at the age of 15 and joined the North
British Railway as a booking clerk. Five years later
he sailed for Australia on the Rockhampton, but fate
decreed that he would end up in South Africa after his
ship was battered by a storm whilst rounding the Cape
of Good Hope.
When the waterlogged Rockhampton limped into
Simonstown, Logan left the ship with only 5 in his
pocket and walked 40 kms to Cape Town to find workers
busy constructing the main railway station. He applied
for a job as a porter and by the time the station was
completed he had been promoted to station-master.
He next became district superintendent of the Touws
River-Prince Albert Road section in the Karoo at the age
of 21 and, before leaving Cape Town for Touws River
(then called Montagu Road), he married Miss Emma

Haylett.
Matjiesfontein was 55 kms further north on the main
route for road traffic. The railway reached it in 1878
and from Matjiesfontein the old Gibson Line and Red
Star Line stage coaches set out on the five-day run
to Kimberley. Streams of travellers poured through by
ox-wagon, cart, coach and train on their way to the
Kimberley diamond fields and the Witwatersrand gold
fields.
The astute Logan saw that accommodation and food
were at a premium and realised that by supplying these
essentials he could make a better living. So, whilst still
employed by the railways, he obtained the concession
for the refreshment room on Touws River station
and then became lessee of the towns railway-owned
Frere Hotel the same year. Once his new business was
established, he resigned from the railways.
Since arriving in Touws River, Logan had been cured
of a chest ailment by the dry, clear Karoo air and,
after gaining the refreshment room concession for
Matjiesfontein in 1884, he decided to live there with his
wife and two children and expand his business empire.
Logan achieved this by developing his rail-side village
into a delightful Victorian health and holiday resort that
attracted the rich and famous. Cecil Rhodes, governors,
premiers, members of the British aristocracy and author
Olive Schreiner were frequent visitors to the village or
were guests at his house,

Tweedside Lodge. As
his fame spread, Logan
became known as the
Laird of Matjiesfontein.
Eventually, his railway
refreshment room
concessions stretched
from the Cape to
Rhodesia and the village
became headquarters
for his vast business
enterprises. Within 10
years of leaving the
railways he had bought
Portrait of David Rawdon
100 000 acres of farmland
in the district and was
elected at the age of 36 to the Cape Parliament, serving
in both the Lower and Upper House for many years.
When Logan arrived in Matjiesfontein there was just
a corrugated iron shed alongside the railway line. Land
was cheap, for nobody imagined that anything could
be developed in this desolate country on the edge of
the Karoo. Logan, however, drilled the first artesian well
in South Africa on his farm, Tweedside, sank several
drill-holes and planted thousands of fruit trees where
nobody had ever attempted fruit growing on a large
scale. Cherries, pears and other varieties flourished,
and gums and pines sprang up at Tweedside. When he
built his residence, Tweedside Lodge, in the village it
was connected to Tweedside farm by the longest private
telephone line in the Cape Colony.
Another typical Logan enterprise was the
Matjiesfontein mineral water factory that provided
soda water, lemonade and ginger ale for thirsty railway
travellers.
Matjiesfontein was designed and built by Logan. He
imported London lamp-posts for street lighting and
the village was the first in South Africa to be lit by
electricity and have water-borne sewerage. He spent
1 000 tracing a watercourse on one of his farms and
discovered a supply that yielded 11 000 gallons a day.
Water was then piped to the village and Logan sold
water rights to the railways at a handsome profit. The
shipwrecked youth was now firmly on his feet!
Cape Town newspapers reported on the opening
of the Matjiesfontein waterworks in November 1899.
After the train bringing

VIP guests arrived in
the morning there was
a cricket match, pigeon
shooting, tennis and
billiards before a fountain
was ceremoniously turned
on to sprinkle the dry veld.
One reporter wrote: The
luncheon served in the
decorated railway shed
would have done credit to
a first-rate London hotel.
In the 1890s a steady
stream of celebrated
Portrait of Scottish
figures arrived at
entrepreneur Jimmy Logan
Matjiesfontein as a result of who developed Matjiesfontein
Logans drive and enterprise.
It became fashionable to
go on a sea voyage to Cape Town and then take the
train to Matjiesfontein. Lord Randolph Churchill (father
of Winston) was there in June 1891, which was a fine
year for veld flowers. Other luminaries who signed the
visitors book included the Duke of Hamilton, the Sultan
of Zanzibar, Sir David Gill the astronomer, James Stewart
of Lovedale, and Admiral Rawson (who gave his name to
Rawsonville near Worcester). Olive Schreiner loved the
place so much that she frequently rented a villa next to
the post office that became known as Schreiner Cottage.
And in 1890 Rhodes broke a journey to Kimberley so
that he could dine with her at Matjiesfontein.
Jimmy Logan became a great patron of cricket
during this period. He arranged the two visits of Lord
Hawkes English teams to South Africa (they played at
Matjiesfontein, of course) and he accepted the entire
financial responsibility when the early South African
cricket teams toured England. When George Lohmann,
one of the greatest English test cricketers of his day,
was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1892, Logan invited
him to be his guest at Matjiesfontein. The clear, crisp
Karoo air helped Lohmann recover and in the 1894/95
Currie Cup final he turned out for Western Province.
In July 1895 he was able to return to England and
play county and test cricket once more, but he settled
in South Africa permanently in 1897. In 1901 he was
manager of the second South African touring team to
play in England and, after returning to the Cape after
the tour, he died in Worcester on 1 December aged 36.
He bought a castellated mansion in Reston and became

a benefactor of the poor and aged of the district. But he
still spent most of his time at his beloved Matjiesfontein
and died there in 1920 aged 63.
By that time the village was no longer the fashionable
resort it had been 25 years before. Its popularity began
to decline until it sank into obscurity at the end of the
Second World War in 1945. Run-down and shabby it
might have been, but it never lost its potential.
Imbued with Jimmy Logans imaginative Victorian
spirit, Matjiesfontein was merely awaiting the right kind
of exploitation by another man of vision, well-known
South African hotelier David Rawdon, who bought the
entire complex in 1968. A history buff and talented
interior decorator, Rawdon sank a lot of money into his
new possession and on 1 November 1970 the lovinglyrenovated Hotel Milner opened its doors under a new
name the Lord Milner Hotel.
It is the epitome of elegance and comfort with a
cuisine to match. The hotel boasts 58 beautifullyfurnished guest rooms, a charming courtyard suite,
antique-filled public lounges and a library opening onto
spacious courtyards. Thanks to Rawdons expertise,
walking into the Lord Milner now is like stepping back to
Jimmy Logans time more than a century ago.
Visitors can enjoy the cosy Victorian pub (The Lairds
Arms), the old church, court-house, police station
and museum. What used to be Logans general store
was completely restored and is now the Coffee House.
Opposite the Schreiner cottage is a post office agency
that is also licensed to sell wine and souvenirs.
A more modern attraction is the red London bus
purchased by Rawdon for R300 in the 1970s. Still
operational despite its age, the double-decker is parked

near the museum and takes tourists for a short ride
every day at 6 p.m. They are encouraged to board the
bus carrying a drink from the Lairds Arms!
Rawdons passion for history allowed Logans idyllic
village to be preserved in its entirety and it was declared
a National Monument in 1970. After seeing his dream
come true over a period of 42 years, David Rawdon died
at the age of 85 on 13 August 2010, leaving the national
heritage site in the capable hands of his nephew,
Jonathan Rawdon, who intends to continue the Logan/
Rawdon legacy.
Says Jon: People love this place because of its olde
worlde charm. It delighted my Uncle David to hear
visitors remark that it is exactly as they remembered
it 30 or 40 years ago, so we will honour his wish to
preserve the complex. However, whilst heeding an
instruction not to spoil the historic atmosphere by
installing television sets in the hotel rooms, the next
generation of Rawdons will introduce a few little
luxuries here and there.
To visit Matjiesfontein today is to understand why
Jimmy Logan preferred it to his castle in Scotland
and why it so fascinated Olive Schreiner that she was
often drawn back over many years. And John Xavier
Merriman, who was the last Prime Minister of the Cape
Colony from 1908 to 1910, was so impressed with the
canny Laird that he once remarked: I wish there were
ten thousand Jimmy Logans in South Africa.
But there was only one such enterprising Scot and
thats why there is only one Matjiesfontein.
Matjiesfonteins busiest months were during

the Anglo-Boer War when 12 000 troops and
20 000 horses were stationed by the British
in a huge remount camp in and around
the village. The central turret of the justcompleted Hotel Milner was used as an armed
lookout post, the hotel building became a
convalescent hospital and the large open
space between the station and hotel was the
parade ground.
Always an individualist, Logan raised his
own mounted corps for service in the field
and equipped it at his own expense. He was
twice wounded in action and mentioned in
dispatches.
The impressive hallway of the Lord Milner Hotel
Like thousands of other Scots, Jimmy Logan

had left Scotland with only a few pounds in
his pocket, but after the Anglo-Boer War he
was able to return to his birthplace on holiday.

DRAMA AT 7A- SIDE SCHOOLS RUGBY As Rank outsiders Chifubu Scoop Championship
R
By Humphrey Lombe
ank outsiders, Chifubu High School of Ndola were

crowned 2011 seven-a-side schools rugby tournament
champions after edging out the favourites Chengelo of
Mkushi 15-10 in a tightly contested final, sponsored by
First Quantum Minerals Limited at Simba School, Ndola.
The tournament characterised by suspense, stratagem
and unfortunate boorish behaviour by Kitwe boys was
entered by 10 teams divided into two pools. Played on
a round robin basis, the tournament saw the teams with
the most points in group A and B emerge as qualifiers
meeting in the final contest to decide champions. Group
A comprised Mpelembe - the 2010 champions, Chifubu,
Kanshenshi, Simba and Lechwe, and group B lined up
Chengelo - winners in 2009, Masala, Chiwala, Muzi and
Kitwe boys.
Chengelo, touted as the tournament favourites having
been three time winners, and, after a lacklustre start
by two time winners Mpelembe - beaten 10-0 by Kitwe
boys - made a clean sweep winning all four games. Their
first victim was Muzi High school of Ndola who they
smashed 30-0 before completing the rout by thumping
Simba, Masala and Chiwala 11-0, 15-5, 10-0 respectively
to top Group B. For Chifubu, it was not plain sailing
after registering a point-less draw in the opener against
Lechwe before succumbing to a 10-15 defeat at the
hands of Kitwe boys. But Kitwe boys forfeited the match
points after being found guilty of featuring someone who
was not school going.
We penalised Kitwe for cheating and all the matches
played and won will not count because we do not condone
cheating; it is well known by all schools that when one
who is no longer in school features, that is considered as
a very serious offence under our rules, said tournament
organiser, Philip Dongo, a sports master at Simba.
After earning the free points, Chifubu found Mpelembe
a hard nut to crack and went down to a try that gave
Mpelembe a slender 5-0 victory. But Chifubu staged a
comeback and overran compatriot Chiwala High School
20-0 to pave the way for a meeting with Chengelo. Chifubu
climbed to the summit of group A by a mathematical
chance. Mpelembe, with two wins to their credit were
nudged off the top by Chifubus superior goal aggregate.
Tied on five points apiece, Chifubu scored 30 and
conceded 10 while Mpelembe scored 20 and conceded
15.
In the final, Chengelo lived up to the tag of favourites

by scoring the first try through Guy Muwana in the 3rd
minute. This came after Chifubu players hesitated after
deeming Chengelo to have caused an infringement on
their player, but match referee, Brian Musonda, ignored
the appeals, and when Chifubu realised that the decision
had gone against them tried to give chase, but it was a
little too late. However, Chifubu responded well through
Musa Zimba, who upon receiving a brilliant pass
broke loose from midfield and charged ferociously while
shrugging off attempts to bring him down and managed
to touch the line with a spectacular dive bringing the
score to five-all at halftime.
On resumption, Chifubu upset the form book and
scored a second try through Mpatso Mwashi, and as
minutes ticked the cheering fans mostly of Ndola Schools
who supported Chifubu were dealt a severe blow when
they thought the match had been won. Chengelo got the
equalising try exactly one minute before full time through
Luyando Muchimba. Unfortunately, Luyando was taken
off the field after incurring an injury from a knock to the
back of the head and the match was tied 10 apiece at full
time forcing play into a sudden death, meaning that the
team managing to break the ice first by scoring a try
wins the tie.
Against all odds, Chifubu broke away from the Chengelo
defence, and as Lubasi Mubiana received a pass in front
of the Chengelo goal; running in full flight in an effort
to snatch a try, he was stopped by a flying tackle that
had him grounded, and as players jostled in a scrum,
Chifubu proved the more tenacious and pushed and
pushed forward until Lubasi touched the line scoring a try
and recording a great upset by a nonentity side. History
was written as Chifubu became the first government run
school to be crowned champions.

Previous winners since the tournaments inception are

the more prestigious private run schools; Lechwe 2005,
Chengelo 2006, Mpelembe 2007, Chengelo 2008
and 2009, Mpelembe 2010. This years winner Chifubu,
alongside Kansenshi and Chiwala are government
funded institutions that have benefited by receiving kit
sponsorship offered by FQM. The same schools received
a shot in the arm by a donation of kit by Tag Rugby
Development Trust of the United Kingdom.
A representative from the sponsors, Andries Scott,
praised the schools for exhibiting high rugby standards
and implored players to continue working hard and to
aim at attaining new levels so as to break through by
playing in the seniors. Chengelo coach, Francis Sichinga,
attributed the loss by his charges due to injuries. We lost
three to injury and two continued play while injured, and
so at the end of the day it came down to fitness.

It was all smiles for Ackim Nyirenda, coach for

Chifubu, who attributed his teams victory to hard work
during training and for nurturing a nursery. The players
are introduced to the nursery in Grade 10 and go on
developing and ripen by the time they reach Grade 12,
so the victory was expected.
In shield final, a lesser event for those that finished
third in each group, Mpelembe beat Masala 15-0 while
Kansenshi lifted the Plate by beating Chiwala 15-5 in an
all Ndola affair. The plate is contested by teams that finish
second.

hit them

The turnout could have been much higher, but schools

from, Chililabombwe, Chingola, Kalulushi, Luanshya
and Mufulira did not turn up, and the reason could be
that their district leagues, a prerequisite for entering
the FQM seven-a-side, are not functioning as well as
they should be, said Zambia Rugby Football Union ZRFU - Copperbelt schools and Youth Coordinator, Chris
Mwamba.
Kitwe Boys caused quite a furore by their rowdy behaviour
and sang disparaging songs against coaches perceived as
the darling of tournament organisers and Mpelembe was
targeted. After causing so much commotion that brought
an apprehensive atmosphere, the rowdy characters
finally left amid threats issued against Mpelembe players.
If it was not for disqualification, Kitwe boys would have
locked horns against Chengelo in the final.

Milk for Schools

Pilot Project
Republic of Zambia
Ministry of Livestock and
Fisheries Development
One year pilot

project
July 2011
Background:
Milk is more than just a drink; it is also a complete food product
which contains all the vital nutrients required for human growth.
Milk contains 14 of 18 minerals and vitamins that humans need
for healthy living, and it can especially assist with the
development of children.
In addition to the nutritional benefits, milk production also has
the potential to contribute towards economic development and
poverty reduction because it requires minimum imported inputs
and it generates employment in rural areas.
Targeting
15, 000
students in 39
schools in
Eastern
Province
Objective:
The Milk for Schools pilot project aims to provide a market for
the smallholder dairy sector and to create a demand for high
quality locally produced milk. This will be achieved by testing a
feasible, affordable and cost-effective model of providing milk to
school going children which could eventually be scaled up
nationally.
Public/private
sector
partnership
It is expected that this pilot project will not only lead to increased per capita milk consumption and
economic growth along the value chain but also allow smallholder dairy farmers to improve their
livelihoods and ability to invest further in milk production. In addition, the Milk for Schools pilot
project will help to increase school attendance and improve the health and academic results of
school children, leading to general productivity improvements for the whole country.
Grade 3 student receives milk at her school
This pilot project forms part of the recently launched and government led Home Grown School
Feeding (HGSF) programme, which is included in the Sixth National Development Plan as part of the
government's social protection plan. The HGSF Programme was necessitated by the need for a
locally driven programme and one that has the additional benefits of stimulating the local economy.
Partners:
The Milk for Schools pilot project is implemented in partnership between:

Going Online with the Barclays

Platinum Debit Card
T
he introduction of the Platinum debit card

by Barclays Bank Zambia will have far
reaching benefits to its customers as well as
other market players. Being a large multinational
bank, Barclays has been a pioneer in project
development and launches in most of its global
markets and Zambia has not been an exception.
The Platinum debit card is certainly a plus to
the bank in the sense that it will allow Barclays
to consolidate its position on the market while
at the same time ensuring that they meet the
needs of their discerning customers who are
always seeking to find ways of accessing
global markets without having to step out of the
comfort of their office or home.
The Barclays Platinum debit card will open
a window of opportunity in online shopping
thereby allowing Zambians to have equal
access to the global market just like their
contemporaries in other parts of the world.
Many people have wondered why Zambia has
not made significant development in the area of
e-commerce and seeing that this area presents
a lot of opportunity at both micro and macro
level. Some commentators feel e-commerce
will open a whole new horizon for Zambian
businesses if only financial institutions can
enhance their online capability. With a major
player like Barclays providing a Platinum card,
it should be anticipated that there will be an
awakening in this area which ultimately will
consolidate the countrys position as a middle
income nation through participation in global
commerce.
Barclays Bank Zambia Plc customers can
take advantage of the Platinum card to pay for
goods and services across national boundaries

24 hours a day 7 days a week provided they
have access to the internet. What is more, in
a country where just about everyone has a
mobile phone that is internet enabled it is very
possible that just about every citizen can enjoy
the benefits of buying cheaper goods and
services through online shipping.
CONVENIENCE, COMFORT, EXCLUSIVITY.

EMBRACE THE CHANGE.
Many would wonder what online shopping

is and whether or not it is possible in a land
locked country like Zambia to have such a
shopping platform. Online shopping knows no
country boundary as long as one has internet
connectivity they can have access to any part of
the world and buy whatever meets their fancy.
Thanks to this innovation, a good number of
the banks customers will now be able to enjoy
making purchases on some of the worlds most
famous online shops like e-bay and Amazon. As
online shopping allows consumers to directly
buy goods or services from a seller in real-time,
without an intermediary and using the internet,
it forms a part of electronic commerce that is
yet to be explored in most parts of sub-Sahara
Africa. It should therefore be anticipated
that with the launch of the Barclays Platinum
debit card, Zambia will enter the online foray
and open up opportunities for both Businessto-Consumer (B2C) as well as Business-toBusiness (B2B) online shopping.

AFRICAS PIANO
MAESTRO
By Roy Kausa
t the age of 13 years in 1952, he started making

and playing home-made banjos with other children
in Chikolokosho, a government farm on the outskirts of
Lusaka. Today, at the age of 69, he is one of the top
African pianists. In his career spanning over 50 years,
he has played music and rubbed shoulders with some
of the top musical celebrities from different parts of the
globe.
This is no other than Anthony Maonde, the Zambian
piano maestro who has shared the same stage with
great artistes such as the African-American great
pianist of the 60s, Duke Harrington, James Brown,
Wilson Picket, Hugh Masekela, Mirriam Makeba and
Dorothy Masuka.
Ba Tony as he is fondly called by both young and
old was born at the beginning of the Second World
War in 1939, at Kabvala Manja village in Luangwa. The
Zambian pianist attended primary school in Lusaka
and Livingstone in the early 50s before heading to
St Canisius in Southern Province of Zambia for his
Standard Seven.
Maonde later attended the Anglo-American Mine
School in Kitwe where he obtained his Cambridge
school certificate with O levels, now equivalent to
Grade 12. At school, the then young Maonde amazed
the teachers and fellow pupils by his talent at playing
the guitar as well as his football skills.

However, despite his artistry in music and football,

Maonde was also a clever lad in school, as most of the
time he was among the top five in his class. Maonde
is proud to have been in the same class as Basil
Kabwe who later in life became one of the ministers
in Kenneth Kaundas United
National Independence party.
I was either number one or
number two in class and each
time I was top, Basil came
second and vice versa. Basil

Remembers Maonde.
By the time Maonde
qualified for his secondary
school, he was already a
fully-fledged guitarist who
played with professional
musicians using modern
electric guitars with a band in
Kitwe called Rokana Melodies.

nation, South Africa, in 1995. The following year, in

1996 Maonde played his favourite keyboard in Hong
Kong, Royal Pacific Hotel, and at the Landmark Hotel in
Bangkok.
Between 2001 and 2003, Maonde returned to South
Africa where he continued to play with one of that
countrys top bands called the Africa Focus Band, in
Johannesburg. This band featured prominently at
exclusive venues such as the Hyatt Hotel in Rosebank,
the Hilton and the Sandton Conference Centre.
Apart from his heavy schedule with his band Maonde
has also managed to sneak out and play piano in
different parts of the world as a solo pianist, exclusively
for private functions.
I do not think it would be fair to mention the various
business men and celebrities by name who invite me to
their different private functions in the press, but even
back home in Zambia I still play for special people and
occasions. For example, recently, Maonde and Uncle
Rex were invited to play piano and guitar at State
House during one of the presidential lunches.
Before Maonde returned to Zambia in 2003, he
played music for the affluent Sandton Sun and the
Towers Intercontinental in Johannesburg as a solo
pianist. Currently, Maonde is solo pianist at the InterContinental Hotel in Lusaka. He says that since his
return back home, he has been disappointed with
the lack of seriousness among the musicians in this
country.
I believe this is the reason why the private sector

and the Government appear not to support the local art
industry here. We have music in secondary and primary
schools where children can learn how to read and write
music. The so-called musicians here play computerised
music. There is nothing wrong with the computer, but
every musician worth his salt must play a physical
instrument, laments Maonde.
Maonde observes that in South Africa, the music
industry is a serious industry where the private sector
and government have invested a lot of money in the
various aspects of the art industry. He says musicians
and other artistes are respected as professionals in that
country.
Arts, through music and other art-forms, also bring
much needed foreign exchange into the country.
Maonde also says he is grateful to the Zambian
Government which has now started honouring artists
during such occasions like the Africa Freedom Day, to
such deserving people such as Dorothy Masuka and
Jane Osborne.
Anthony Maonde is a marvel to watch as he softly
and gently moves his fingers across the keyboard of the
great grand piano in the Rhythms Cafe of hotels lobby
at Inter-Continental Hotel in Lusaka. He plays beautiful
music, which ranges from classical music, pure Jazz and
his own version of Zambian contemporary Jazz. Tony
Maonde is Africas piano maestro.

MALAWI
LAND OF THE LAKE
The Lake of Stars is Malawis
greatest resource
By Kate Nivison
Lake beach at Pumulani Lodge near Cape Maclear
t was David Livingstone who affectionately nicknamed

Africas third largest lake the Lake of Stars. Some say
this was because of pinpoints of sunlight dancing on
the ripples, and photographers today still try to recreate
this charming effect. Others maintain that it was the
lake waters catching reflections of a starry night, and
certainly its mirror-like surface under the moon on a
calm dry-season evening is a lovely thing to see.
These days, visitors to the southern end of the lake
in particular may conclude that it must have been the
lamps from hundreds of fishing canoes that inspired
him. Better Lake of Stars perhaps, than the official
name Livingstone gave it Lake Nyasa which was
based on a misunderstanding typical of explorers intent
on naming new geographical features, because Nyasa
actually means lake in several local languages. In
1967, soon after Nyasaland became Malawi, the lake
got renamed to match, although to Mozambique and
Tanzania who share its shores, its still simply Nyasa.
In Livingstones day, the fishermen used glowing
charcoal or tiny vegetable oil lamps to lure the myriads
of fish for which the lake is famous. Among the canoes
would have been the dhows of Swahili slave traders
crossing to the eastern shore with human cargos and
ivory tusks for the long trek to the coast, their triangular
lateen sails sinister as sharks fins to quote the official
brochure, Malawi, the Warm Heart of Africa. Today it is

hurricane lamps, fuelled by expensive kerosene, because
somehow in all this profusion of wild life and wonder,
one or two essentials were omitted when Nature, in full
rifting mode, formed Malawi like the provision of a
decent oil field and access to the coast by a navigable
river. But then, nowheres perfect.
So when Malawi brands itself today as the Warm Heart
of Africa, theres a rub. It may be warm, but its a very
long, thin heart, about 20% of which is water (Lakes
Malawi, Malombe and Chilwa), and it is landlocked.
Its shape follows the Great African Rift system. From
north to south is as far as from Lusaka to Beira or
Beitbridge, but the land area is so narrow in places that
its sometimes called the country you can see across.
The spectacular rift escarpments add to its beauty but
subtract from the amount of suitable agricultural land,
so its people (around 15 million of them, 2010 UN
estimate), most of whom rely on farming, are crammed
into very limited areas. One of Africas smallest nations,
all this places Malawi among the most densely populated
countries on earth, and also among the poorest.
Fortunately, Malawi has not succumbed to civil or
regional wars, and its a comparatively law-abiding place
with little violent ethnic or religious conflict. Any guns
around are likely to be in the hands of the army and

Close links with South Africa survive from the migrant

home remittances from the gold mines. Over the years,
sprinklings of South Africans have settled in Malawi

German visitors as well.

is style is now instantly recognisable. Bold and

clear figures set against a hazy background, a sort
of cross between Edward Hopper and Claude Monet.
Wherever his ideas and thoughts originate, Vettrianos
paintings are a mix of his early memories of smalltown dances, comic book and pulp fiction, 1950s
gangster films and romantic yearning. The results are
an evocative, exciting collection of paintings, full of
character and often portraying a scene which seems to
tell a different story with every new viewing and may
be open to numerous variations.
sold of his work. His most famous piece is the The

Singing Butler, a haunting and dramatic work which
shows a glamorous couple in evening dress, dancing at
dusk, on the beach while a butler and a maid (is she
weeping?) hold umbrellas over their heads. Lovers and
romantics have proposed a colourful and imaginative
series of stories to explain the occasion and setting.
The work was originally sold for 4,500 in 1991, its
value today is somewhere in the region of hundreds
of thousands of pounds. His rise to fame has been
meteoric and the public (though not the art critics,
gallery curators or the avant garde) have clamoured
both for his romantic, nostalgic scenes and views of a
bygone age... and for his darker works that depict the
brittle physical and sensual relationships between men
and women.
Jack Vettriano was born Jack Hoggan in Scotland in
1951 and left school at sixteen with few qualifications
and no artistic ambitions, and found work as a trainee
mining engineer. Mining and engineering might have
been his destiny but a girlfriend gave him a box
of watercolour paints for his twenty-first birthday.
From then on, he seemed to spend all his spare time
sketching and teaching himself how to paint. It was
a slow, uphill task and he made little progress. He
tried to teach himself by copying his favourite artists,
Caravaggio and Monet, and finally, after years of slow,
and sometimes, it seemed, no noticeable progress, he
sold his first original piece in the late 1980s... and for
reasons never fully explained, he adopted his mothers
maiden name, Vettriano.
exhibition. Both were exhibited and to everyones

amazement and delight sold on the opening day. The
following year he submitted three works which were
greeted with an equally enthusiastic reaction. They
went onto the highly respected summer exhibition at
Londons Royal Academy and his new career changed
overnight.
- Erotic smut. - Vettrianos work closely resembles

comic-book illustrations!
During the last twenty years, Vettrianos work has

seen considerable growth and a blossoming worldwide
following as the art-public became increasingly aware
of his bold, striking characters and unusual settings...
ah, its unmistakably a Vettriano! is a common
reaction.
He has seen his one man exhibitions in Edinburgh,
London, New York and Hong Kong attract thousands
of fans. In 2004 his best known work, The Singing
Butler re-sold at Sothebys for almost 750,000. It is
a estimated that he earns over 200,000 a year from
posters, postcards and prints of his work. His works
are in demand by such celebrities as Jack Nicholson,
Robbie Coltrane and Terence Conran.
In 1989, he felt confident enough to submit two

paintings to the Royal Scottish Academys annual
None of the major British art galleries have exhibited

any of his works and, it appears, are ever likely to!
Is this merely snobbery and fear in action, or do the
critics have a valid point? Art sales of Vettrianos work
tell quite a different story! In 2004, Vettriano cocked
a snook at his critics in the art establishment when a
dozen of his works sold at auction for close to 1m. In
all 12 works sold for 932,000 at the Edinburgh auction
house Lyon & Turnbull. Bidders from as far afield as
South Africa, Australia and the United States snapped
up his work.
The Queen was not quite dismissive of Vettrianos
style. In September 2003 he was invited to attend
Buckingham Palace to receive his an OBE for his
services to the world of art and for his extensive
charitable work.
From 1994-2007, Vettriano was represented by

Portland Gallery in London but the contract ended
abruptly in June 2007. Since then, Vettriano has been
working on a variety of projects, including the launch
of a new book and a stunning portrait of Olympic
horsewoman Zara Phillips, the Queens granddaughter,
in connection with a charity fund-raising event.
Even if you dont know the name, youll know his

work. Vettrianos paintings of beaches, butlers and
beautiful, well dressed women and men in dinner
jackets, now adorn everything from posters to
postcards. His painting hang on walls of half the
worlds sitting rooms. Yet, the major international
galleries shun him and have never displayed a single
example of his work.

Britain and over a million prints and posters have been
Vettriano divides his time between his homes in Fife,

London and Nice, in France. His latest releases are
greeted with great enthusiasm but not, it seems by
everyone! None of the modern painters quite separates
public or professional opinion like Jack Vettriano. Whilst
the public rave about his sensual and provocative styles
and cannot get enough of his work, the professional art
gallery stewards and art critics disagree and are much
less than enthusiastic. Some prominent critics have
described his work as slushy and shallow and dismiss
it with such scathing uncomplimentary comments as,
Hes welcome to paint, as long as nobody, including
himself , takes his works seriously. - Yes, observed
another, his work is very popular... but its not art!

The Black Shouldered Kite

Now this little hawk is a familiar site sitting on the
electricity lines along the road when you drive out of

looking for small rodents which form the majority of
his diet. He is commonly found near open farmland
so that he can get a clear sight of any prey that may
come into view.
tall tree if there are no reed-beds around. The birds

will arrive at dusk in ones and twos and leave very
early in the morning to go back to their designated
perches. Groups of over 50 birds at roost are not
uncommon. You will notice a number of these birds
on the road from Lusaka to Kabwe and they probably
roost in the reed-beds at Huntley Farm.
The Black-shouldered Kite at rest it has a steel

blue back, white head with ruby-red eyes. In ight
it appears white from underneath with clear black
shoulders on the edge of its wings. It is sometimes
nicknamed a hovering hawk due to its ability to
hover in one place for 10 to 20
seconds before moving to a new Photo courtesy of Warren McKay
position. This is one of its hunting
methods. It spots the prey from
above and parachutes down
with its wings held back, feet
outstretched and claws ready to
snatch the unfortunate rodent
on the ground. This method of
hunting is more effective than its
other method of hunting directly
from its perch where it just drops
down at an angle to snatch its
quarry.
In Zambia the main breeding season for the Blackshouldered Kite is in the early part of the year. Nests
are built in the tops of trees usually a thorn tree as
they need to be accessible from above. The nest is
a at platform of small sticks lined with grass, about
as wide as a standard ruler and less
than 10 centimetres deep. Both
parents help with the nest building.
3 or 4 eggs are usually laid which

the male brings her food and later
he feeds the whole family with a

eggs take about a month to hatch

Sandvik Mining and Construction RSA (Sandvik) has

appointed Kirana Exporters, trading as Moggs Distributors,
as its distributor for all geological product sales and
services within Zambia. The distributorships products cover
Sandvik geological product line and include core trays, core
storage systems, core cutting machines, sampling products
and a wide range of geological accessories.
Moggs Distributors is a well established company in
Zambia and over the last decade has developed a focused
geological business. The appointment of Kirana Exporters,
trading as Moggs Distributors, comes on the back of a
significant growth in exploration activity in Zambia.
The Zambian exploration and mining sector was
severely affected by the economic recession and the fall
in commodity prices. The slump in commodity prices
forced many mines to close and exploration activities dried
up. Cameron Westwood, Sandviks regional exploration
business manager for Africa, says.
However, since mid-last year, the effects of the global
economic recession have begun to ease and the world
markets have witnessed a return to high commodity prices.
This has essentially led to the reopening of mines and the
resumption of exploration activities in Africa, especially in
copper-rich Zambia.
Sandvik is confident this positive trend will continue and
its predicting that the African exploration market will grow
significantly this year. Sandvik is focused on expanding
its presence in the exploration supply sector throughout
Africa and will have several exciting new products launched
throughout 2011 and beyond.

OSAWE: Helping People Change

their Lives for the Better
By Lute M. Kazembe
Plan International Zambia. OSAWE also means dont
fall in the Chichewa language of the Eastern Province
of Zambia. OSAWE is modelled on a traditional money
lending system known as Chilimba, where a group
of people contribute money into a common fund, from
which members can borrow. With OSAWE, a group of
people contribute to a fund and the money is repaid with
interest, causing the fund to grow. Additionally, accurate
financial records are kept and financial accountability is
cardinal.
Anastasia narrates her story; When I started saving
and borrowing, I was saving small amounts, but as
time went on I realised I could benefit more by saving
more and increase my borrowing too. I decided to start
selling blankets, so I borrowed Zambian Kwacha ZMK
400,000 (about US$90) and added that to ZMK400,000
I had at home, and I then went to Lusaka to buy 8 new
blankets, which sold like hot cakes in the community at
ZMK150,000 each. I paid back my loan and borrowed
another ZMK1,000,000.00 (about US$220), and bought
e came to run the family farm here

in Chibombo, and life was very
difficult for us. We were struggling with
everything, recalls Anastasia. 44 year
old Anastasia lives in Chinena village of
Malombe community in Chibombo district,
one of the largest districts in the central
part of Zambia. Anastasia is an OSAWE,
an acronym for Own Saving for Asset and
Wealth Creation, facilitator.
When I tell people about the benefits of OSAWE, they

see what I have done and they are eager to join an
OSAWE group.
The loans allow members to meet their financial needs
for income generating activities, social obligations such
as funerals or wedding, and emergencies without having
to borrow from a money lender, who sometimes will
charge 200 percent interest. Access to financial services
for most Zambians, especially for the rural poor, is almost
impossible. Even where people are able to get financial
services, the interest is often so high and the repayment
period too short. With low interest rates ranging from 10
percent, most OSAWE members are able to repay their
loans.
I was trained as a facilitator when OSAWE

was introduced to our community by Plan
in 2007. After learning how OSAWE works, I
realised the things needed to start a group
were not too difficult, and I began a group
in Malombe. But I didnt just want to run
the group, so I also began saving, and that
was the beginning of the change in my life,
Anastasia says with a big smile.
OSAWE is a community based microfinance
program that is promoted and supported by
Anastasia with OSAWE Group Executive Committee
16 more blankets. On this trip I made sure that I bought

each of my three children and my mother-in-law new
blankets from the profits. This made my family very
happy as they had not had new blankets for a very long
time.
After my third trip, I set aside ZMK1,400,000.00
(US$300) and bought myself a small heifer (cow). In our
tradition even if ones husband has animals, the wife has
no share or benefit from them, and if the husband dies
his relatives will come and get everything. Therefore, I
started creating my own wealth from OSAWE. I never
thought a woman like me could own a cow and by the
end this year I will manage to buy another cow.
Last year, we harvested such a good

crop that we still had enough to eat
ourselves. This year we are expecting
another good crop so that means we
will have more than enough to sell and
have a another surplus. We also bought
goats from our savings which we sold
and with the profit we have been able to
send our daughter to college. My other
child passed to go to grade 10 and we
were able to pay the tuition fees without
difficulty and I also have another child
in grade 8. Anastasia pauses before
adding, Before I joined OSAWE, I had begun to think
that we would not manage to have children in school.
I am proud that as a family we are contributing
to employment by engaging other people from our
community. From the garden profits we have paid school
fees for our children and we are in the process of building
a new house in town which we will rent out. We are
also planning to extend our current house and buy solar
panels.
Anastasia
People making repayments
extended our garden, we have also

engaged other people to help us
manage it effectively. At the end of
2010, we invested ZMK5.5million
(about US$1,100) in the garden to pay
for labour and agricultural products.
We harvested a total of 244 crates of
tomatoes which we sold at an average
of ZMK45,000 (US$10) per box and
realised a total of ZMK10,980,000.00
(US$2,440).
I have now stopped selling blankets and we have

continued with our garden project as a family having
I borrowed one million Kwacha (US$200) from a money

lender and I had to pay back two million Kwacha, says Mr.
Ratizo Zawa, one of the group members in Malombe. This
was extremely difficult for me. But with OSAWE, I am able
to afford the interest.
Anastasia with the heifer she bought
about helping people improve their lives and this is what

motivates her most.
I know for sure that my efforts in this community will
not be in vain. Peoples lives will change for the better.
Anastasia says confidently.
Plan has been working with communities in Zambia
since 1996 by supporting them with the knowledge and
skills to improve their quality of life. o

Mr. Zawa, aged 39, has fourteen children with two wives
and he says, With the savings from OSAWE, I started a
business. I have an ox drawn cart that I hire out and on
average I make ZMK 100,000 (US$22) per day during the
harvest season with people taking their crops to town to
sell. I am able to feed all of my children, pay for school
fees and take them to the clinic for treatment when they
are sick. I am grateful to OSAWE as it has made a huge
difference in my life.

Pam Golding Properties Zambia

Zambias property sector poised for growth and real estate firm cements
its operations in the country.
n the last five years, Zambia has witnessed

significant investments in the construction industry
with retail and commercial property sectors enjoying
unprecedented growth. It is also during this period
same that Pam Golding Properties Zambia has
established itself on the Zambian market as a leading
real estate firm.
Established in Zambia in 2007 and opening its doors
to trade in 2008, Pam Golding Properties Zambia is
part of a 315-office network of Pam Golding Properties.
With its headquarters in Cape Town, South Africa,
the firm is the largest independent residential and
commercial property company in Southern Africa with
representation in Botswana, Mozambique, Swaziland,
Zambia and Zimbabwe. It also has representation in
the United Kingdom and Germany.
Pam Golding Properties Zambias strides in
the local property sector have been driven by the
companys provision of a world-class standard and
differentiated property service and delivery coupled
with the companys reputation for honesty, integrity
and professionalism. These factors have driven the
company to the centre of some of Zambias foremost
property projects.
Building on its achievements in 2010, the company
has continued to establish strategic partnerships
in all sectors of the property market with its role in
residential (sales & leasing), retail (sales & leasing),
commercial (sales and leasing) as well agriculture
(sales).
Managing Director of Pam Golding Properties
Zambia, Inutu Zaloumis Bagus says, The Zambia
office has nurtured a reputation for delivery of an
unmatched service as well as an understanding of
the property sector in Zambia. With the growth of
the sector, Pam Golding in Zambia has become the
leasing agent of choice for residential and commercial
developers.
This can be seen in the companys partnership in
the US$100 million redevelopment of Society House
in Lusakas central business district. The imposing
building will comprise a 148 room four-star Holiday Inn
hotel, conferencing, retail mall, A-grade offices and a
1,100-car parking garage.
Earlier this year Zambias first mixed-use
development, Roma Park, was launched in Lusaka
A new skyline for Lusaka
and Pam Golding in Zambia has the mandate to sell

and lease a project that has been declared a Multi
Facility Economic Zone by the Zambia Development
Agency. It indicates the confidence that the market
has in Pam Golding Properties Zambia to deliver in an
increasingly competitive sector.
The winner of the Top African franchise for 2009/10
by the Pam Golding Group, the Zambia office has
built on the Pam Golding values with a close eye on
property trends and developments to ensure that the
company continues to offer the market an unmatched
standard of service delivery.
Projects that the company is involved in remain on
course for completion in 2011 in Zambia. Freedom
Park Shopping Mall in Kitwe, anchored by Shoprite
and Pick N Pay is scheduled to complete early 2012
and Pam Golding Properties Zambia is the exclusive
leasing agent and property manager of a project that
will service the Copperbelt, the economic hub of
Zambia.
Progress continues on Makeni Mall for which Pam
Golding Properties is the exclusive leasing agent.
Also scheduled for a November 2011 opening, the mall
is another milestone in the property sector, as it will
service the population of Lusaka south. Anchored by
Pick and Pay, the mall is strategically located in rapidly
developing commercial strip along Kafue Road.
Pam Golding Properties was the exclusive leasing
agent and is now the managing agent at Woodlands
Shopping Mall that opened to the public and hosts
Pick and Pay as its anchor tenant.
With Zambia seeing huge investments in
construction projects, road infrastructure and
construction works in the mining industry, the
property sector is primed for significant growth.
Developments in the sector are promoting the capacity
to construct, rehabilitate and maintain infrastructure in
Zambia, making it a steadily growing sector.

This increase in commercial, retail and residential

projects indicates strong investor confidence in the
Zambian market. But investing in the country goes
beyond the mere opportunity to enter the Zambian
market as theres now strong support in property
management, leasing and sales coming through from
Pam Golding Properties in Zambia.
