 Thank you very much. We are here to update the nation of the situation from yesterday. With me is the Honorable Minister of Mines, Honorable Kausue, Honorable Minister of Commerce. For Gamolengau is also a member of Parliament for Chinggola for the situation where Sinseli Open Peak Mine is located. The situation from yesterday, first of all we want to appreciate our Republican President who came to give solidarity to all of us, as well as to the families of the big team, our brothers who are trapped here in Chinggola. We are very grateful to the Excellency, the President and the people of Chinggola who have also appreciated this coming, come and give hope to the families and all the Kopa Beoto residents. The situation is that the Bible says there is power in the time. What someone says about the situation usually comes to pass. Excellency President Akainde visited the site and I think his first pronouncement when he visited the site was to give hope to all of us and those who were waking from the area where the estate happened. His words were that we save God of miracles and he said we have every hope that we will find our brothers alive. And for sure, around 2130 the team retrieved one Mr. Moan Shaka Koma Mukoku who was found alive just like the President's word that he pronounced there. So the first one was retrieved was retrieved around 3130 by the name of Mr. Moan Shaka Koma Mukoku and he was found alive. So I want to update the nation that the first one actually was found alive. So it's important to know that we should speak positive even in a situation where we have storms. So this is the situation. He was rushed to the hospital and this time around he's still in the hospital. We went there, all of us, the three ministers and he's in a stable condition according to the doctors. We talked to him and I'm sure the Lord will make sure that he's healed completely. Secondly, around 2245 on the same site where the President went, they retrieved a body of one of our brothers which was deposited in the mortuary in Tsinghua. They continued working because they are working throughout the night like we have always said. And around 07 o'clock this morning they retrieved another body for our brother which has also been deposited in the hospital here in Tsinghua. So in summary we are saying that the official situation is that we have retrieved three people. One, the first one was alive, the second one was a dead body and the third one was a dead body. So that is the official situation here in Tsinghua. The President is sending his appreciation to the people operating from the site and he has continued encouraging all of us to be positive and continue praying for our brothers. We still have to continue to have hope that we will find others who will be alive. So we can officially say that we have two funerals and after the press briefing all of us as ministers will try and reach the funeral house. The process of identifying the two bodies is on. I think other members of the secretariat, the team which we have put together have taken up that role to try and get the families who identify these two bodies and then officially we will have a funeral. Now we can have a funeral for the two and like what our colleagues wanted us to do to have a funeral before we retrieved anyone. So this is the official situation. I would like to call upon the Minister of Commerce to add one or two words. We are also the area member of Parliament for Tsinghua and thereafter the Minister of Mines will also add one or two words. Thank you Honourable Minister. And let me also extend my sincere gratitude to the residents of Tsinghua District. Tsinghua constituents in particular were standing as one during this prime moment. It's not an easy responsibility as a servant which you have given me. It is more reason why we saw His Excellency coming to visit us like has been said by the Promotion Minister and also continued support from the Minister of Mines. But ultimately the unity that has been displayed by the residents of Tsinghua has really humbled me to the most and encouraged me to say that we do the most to see how best we can support our people. I also want to extend my sincere gratitude to the community, not only in Tsinghua but even from Ketu and other places who have responded to the call even before making a request to support the people that are working, the derived and also the victims. The Provincial Minister led from inception a team by establishing a secretariat where registration of these challenges, the challenges and other forms of help that could be provided forward to be registered from. From there I should also announce that there has been a very positive response from the private sector who have come on board to see how we can work together. I should mention before I even talk about the private sector, the medical personnel is on hand in receiving the people that we are getting from the ground. It was not an easy task and continues not to be easy but challenging, but I should give upload on the positive and quick response that we witnessed yesterday by Inchanga South Hospital of Konkola Copper Mines. I think it is a time where we all stood and see what we can do to support each other. So for this cause I call on other health practitioners to come on board and see what you can render. This is a call where we say what can I do for the country than what the country can do for me. So colleagues I am very grateful as Member of Parliament and also I want to announce publicly that at the Member of Parliament's office ministers we have received support from people in the business community. Number one we received financial support yesterday from Africa Power Call Limited. We have received today it is in transit have been engaged by MiKMA CEO Mr. Michelle Krupnik who is leading a team even on their social platform which they are calling call for action where they are engaging the private sector to come on board and support the call that we have. Minister as your seven Member of Parliament and the public we pledge to do this with the utmost transparency that this deserves. My office may receive this but definitely it will be handed over to the DMMU unit and the media is encouraged to see what will be received. And so far when the chairperson for CEO for MiKMA started this campaign to support government to support the public here in Chingola what we are going to receive until it is in transit is as follows. And his call has been responded to positively by Antelope Milling and the Vaito Biverages. And what we are receiving from there we are going to be given 300 bags of meal meal which are in transit. We will be given sorry chairperson will be given 1000 cases of water and 400 cases of drinks. They are in transit will be receiving them very shortly and ETG group of companies they are based in Lusaka but they are doing other businesses they also engaged me. They have pledged to contribute 500 bags of meal meal but so far they have delivered 250 bags at my consequence office and that will be brought to the DMMU unit to see how we can support. They have pledged 500 bags of meal meal but so far they have delivered 250 bags and I am told they will also be sending through some cooking oil for our brothers who are working there and also for the funeral houses that the minister has mentioned. We have taken full responsibility as a government and also as a constituency to see that we support our brothers who have lost beloved ones. So much of these contributions we have definitely will go to the funeral houses as much as they will also go to the working areas of our brothers. So minister in my custody I can safely mention that we have got 250 bags which have been delivered and we will be receiving today 300 bags more from Antelope and will be given an extra 1000 cases of water and 400 cases of drinks that will come and we are very optimistic that if the private sector can even set up their own platform out of their ingenious ways and call to action to support us we are very optimistic that more will come on board and the burden will be lightened. This is how we should live where we put some certain inclinations aside and respond to the call as one community and one people. In conclusion as member of parliament I just want to ask the clergy from all churches, religious organizations, all believers, the UCZ, the Catholics, the SDA, the Pentecostals, everyone let us commit this country, let us commit this district, let us commit this constituency to God. This is a time when we need to pray and we strongly believe that the power of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit will intervene and we will continue to find our brothers alive and active so that we can continue to live with them. So ultimately I thought I could make this known to the public and we will continue to make it public announcements to those that make donations to us. So ladies and gentlemen I thought I could make this announcement and submit to the leadership of our provincial minister and minds that are here in our midst. Thank you very much. Thank you. This time I want to call upon the minister of minds on a vocation to also say some few words. Thank you, thank you very much minister. I would like to cos-recognize the minister of commerce, the PS minds is here also, the members of the press. The first thing I want to say is to also thank the president for having come. Yesterday he boosted our morale, apart from the physical morale, he also boosted our faith because for him he was very categorical and very instructive that there is nothing as it stands. We believe in fact he went on a podium as the president of a nation and that is massive, spiritually that is big when the highest office in the land professes the name of God and says I believe in a God of miracles and believe it or not there will be a person who will come out alive here. And it took God only few hours to respond to his faith and we had a person who came out alive. In fact the very first person to come out was alive meaning that God responded to that faith from the highest office in the land. We are so grateful to the president for boosting our morale. May I also thank our technocrats. I believe that Zambia has enough capacity in terms of technocrats and ability to be able to handle a situation that is as complex and as complicated as that. So we are grateful to the rescue teams from the mines, the CEO KCM from Mopani, we are grateful also to our defense forces ZNS and Zambia Army, our Red Barret and everyone that has been involved to be able to now start showing that really we are on the right path in terms of retrieving or recovering our brothers who are trapped there. I also want to make mention of the people that normally I protect who are called illegal miners. To me I always protect them that these are our Zambians who are trying to end a living but of course trying to do it in a way that is okay. So they have also been very handy in helping us retrieve our brothers or get the bodies that we got out. It's unfortunate for those that have lost their lives. We pass our condolences to the families of those that have lost their lives. So we are very very grateful for the team spirit that has been displayed in terms of recovering our brothers and this goes to show to those who are saying immediately declare a day or whatever national mourning they wanted. This now shows the difference between a leader who knows what is doing and those who leaders who are wannabe leaders because then it was just shouting on the rooftop talking whichever way they wanted to talk without really understanding what is going on. And as such now we have seen truly the okay man said hold on let's trust God as we work and government is ready to support everything but at some point we leave everything else to God and God has responded by showing us that yes really there couldn't be people who are alive in this space. So thank you very much and to those ambience that are supporting us that you know supporting us materially financially all the support that has been announced by the comments minister really the support that you are bringing to us is coming in handy because this is a huge responsibility. And we want to say that even as government also the resources are flowing in there is no dryness even from the government side the support has been fantastic. So really we are working as a team and any help that comes is welcome but we are focused to make sure that we get our people out of there. And you members of the media members of the press please I keep emphasizing let's make sure we get the right information than getting falsehoods and throwing them all over social media. Thank you very much honourable minister. Thank you very much. I just want to emphasize in conclusion that we have a secretariat here at the pieces office just like the minister of commerce I said any contribution towards this project should go through the secretariat. It's a team of competent men and women. So we ever want to donate anything if you don't know where to find the secretariat it's at this commissioners office here in Chingor. I also want to mention that officially we still stand at 38 families who came forward with the names and NRCs claiming that the families for our police were still trapped at the Open Picks mine. So those who are coming to claim that their families they can come with the facts the NRCs and then the team will scrutinize and find out how true that is and then from there we will stand together and move on. We will continue giving updates to the nation and please like we said from the beginning do not get the information which is coming from other sources apart from this official secretariat here. We will have our next briefing maybe around 18 hours today. So to the media we are very very grateful. We have been all weather friends from the wet go we've been together we go together in the peak to come back we go together to the mosquito so let's remain together until the end of this issue. We are very grateful. Yes. Yes I have a question. There's something changing on social media pages especially PF inclined social media pages that the government has blocked GBM from the 1850,000 quarter to the family members. Which government way? I've said there's a secretariat here. Everyone knows us to donate. They are coming here. I have never seen GBM here unless maybe they came in the night. It's nothing like that. We are very transparent we have said whoever wants to donate let him come to the secretariat. Here where there's a team of women and men who are doing a commendable job they will get any donation. But of course we don't want a donation which is political. A donation should be genuine. This is something which we have tried even ourselves to restrain ourselves from politics because this is not a time to politics. This is a time to come together to work together for the sake of our boys who are still trapped. So I don't think that is true that government has blocked anyone from donating. You have seen the ministers just mentioned some few organizations who have donated. And we have several others who have started donating when this tragedy happened. Several other organizations I think the team which is here the secretariat they have got the names and everything. So whoever is trying to donate something let him come to the DC's office Chinggora. No one who refused to make a donation because that is a blessing for somebody. But political arrangements it won't be entertained here in Chinggora. Those who want to come and do politics they all have themselves to blame. Thank you. Maybe just to add something on this I know the commerce minister also weigh in. Just by that statement you can see the motive of somebody trying to gain public sympathy that they are trying to donate. But GBM if you really are genuine and you want to help the channels are there. Okay the channels are there. So just come and if you want to help you don't announce. Let them tell you what they want to do. But if you really want to help them you have to do it. All of them. Hello. We have been very transparent. This is where leadership has been seen. So even you the media, you have a responsibility to inform and educate. Thank you.
