32-YEAR-OLD MAN ALLEGEDLY KILLED BY SUSPECTED CADRES By Niza Vomo A 32-year-old man of Lusaka's John Laing Township has died after allegedly being assaulted by suspected United Party for National Development (UPND) cadres. The deceased has been identified as Nelson Chikubi. According to his family, Mr Chikubi was allegedly assaulted on Friday, July 3, after repairing a radio for a client. They allege that when the client tested the radio, a song associated with the opposition began playing, prompting suspected UPND cadres to attack him. The family says he was treated and discharged from Chawama Level One Hospital but later developed complications. He was rushed back to the hospital, where he died the following day. When contacted for comment, UPND Deputy Secretary General Getrude Imenda said she could not comment on the matter unless it was in the public domain. Meanwhile, Zambia Police Service Public Relations Officer Godfrey Chilabi says police have instituted investigations into the matter. #NewsOnTheGo

WE HAVE ACHIEVED OVER 90 PERCENT OF OUR PROMISES – UPND By Darius Choonya The ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) claims it has achieved over 90 percent of its promises for the period from 2021 to 2024. President Hakainde Hichilema’s Special Assistant for Policy and Compliance, Joseph Lungu, says this is based on the UPND’s own analysis and research on the status of the promises made. He says the fulfilled promises range from free education to an enhanced Constituency Development Fund (CDF). Meanwhile, Special Assistant and Advisor to the President for Finance and Investment, Jitto Kayumba, has urged citizens to engage with their leaders to fully understand and access the CDF. The duo made these remarks in a now-viral video, in which they discussed the implementation status of key policy reforms by the New Dawn administration, as detailed in a newly released booklet. However, Development Expert Dr. Charity Musamba has argued that the projections made by President Hichilema’s aides do not reflect the reality on the ground. She says the cost of living remains high, preventing many people from affording proper meals. #NewsOnTheGo
