'The [Ncwala] ceremony marks the first fruits of the harvest, and traditionally, no one was allowed to eat the new crops until the chief had performed the necessary rituals. It's a time when the Ngoni people come together to celebrate their identity, honour their ancestors, and showcase the traditions that have survived for generations.' https://t.co/QybRehWlFB

ALL OUTSTANDING MAIZE PAYMENTS TO FARMERS TO BE CLEARED BY JANUARY 10, 2026 - Finance and National Planning Minister Dr. SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE has said all outstanding payments to farmers who supplied maize to the Food Reserve Agency will be fully settled by January, 10, 2026, seeking to reassure growers amid concerns over payment delays.

In a statement, the Minister acknowledged the delays but said the FRA was continuing to receive funds from financing institutions, alongside proceeds from ongoing maize sales, allowing payments to be made on a rolling basis ahead of the final settlement date.

“Farmers will continue to receive their payments during this period, even before the final instalment is received,” the Minister said.

The Minister said timely payments were critical for household welfare, sustaining livelihoods and enabling farmers to prepare for the current farming season, adding that the Government remained committed to ensuring every farmer was paid in full within the stated timeframe.

Finance Minister Dr. SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE thanked farmers for their patience and contribution to national food security and economic stability, echoing remarks by President HAKAINDE HICHILEMA.

Further updates would be issued as necessary.

Planted some Irish potatoes that my husband brought from Chipata. So excited about my harvest. Shocked that they did so well despite erratic water supply.

It is with deep shock and sorrow that we have learnt of the passing of the former first lady, Mrs Maureen Kakubo Mwanawasa.
We call on the country to unite as we join her family, and indeed the nation, in prayer.
May her soul rest in eternal peace.
