Zambia has granted an amnesty for illegal firearms with a reward of the equivalent of about N$1,000 for every weapon surrendered.

Zambia has cumulatively recorded a total of 1,299 suspected MPOX cases and three recorded deaths.

Currently, 25 of those cases are home-managed.

The family of the late former Zambian President Edgar Lungu has asked the Supreme Court of Appeal to overturn the Pretoria High Court decision to deny them permission to appeal against the earlier lower court ruling over the repatriation of the body.

The Namibia Airports Company (NAC) is in Lusaka, Zambia, for the 74th Airports Council International Africa's board and committee meetings, regional conference, and exhibition.

Today marks exactly three months since the death of former Zambian President Edgar Lungu, but his burial remains uncertain. Lungu had been in South Africa for a routine medical check-up since January, when news of his death broke on 5 June.

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema said the abrupt cut in health support by donors is painful but long overdue.

Hichilema, however, said his government will enhance its partnership with the church that has been running mission hospitals on the continent.

The presidents of Malawi, Zambia, and Mozambique, Lazarus Chakwera, Hakainde Hichilema, and Daniel Chapo, witnessed the Kulamba Traditional ceremony of the Chewa people in the three countries, which takes place annually on the last Saturday in August. 

Zambian President Hakainde Hichilema has bestowed honours as officers of the Order of the Eagle of Zambia on WHO Director-General Tedros Ghebreyesus and Africa's CDC Head Jean Kaseya.

The President of Zambia has recognised their dedication to diligently reforming the health sector.

The Pretoria High Court has indefinitely adjourned the hearing of the leave to appeal, where the family had made an application to be heard following their failure to accept the judgement that was passed to allow the Zambian government to repatriate and bury the remains of the late Edgar Lungu in Zambia.

The police in the Zambezi Region arrested a 38-year-old Maunga Village resident from the Choi area on Wednesday night for the murder of a Zambian national at the Sinai entertainment centre. The deceased, Mike Longwani from Siboya village in Kaungamashi, Zambia, was a shopkeeper at Sinai.
