ZCCM-IH 2016 financial results delayed

THE release of audited statements of accounts for the year ended 31st March, 2016 for ZCCM-IH has been delayed due to lack of information required for consolidation of the financials, says company secretary Chabby Chabala.

Mr Chabala said the company experienced delays in information collection from a number of investee companies within the ZCCM-IH portfolio.

He explained that the information required for consolidation of the financial statements was lacking, hence the delay in the issuance of the audited results.

“The required information has now been obtained and the company is in the process of finalising the audit of the said financial statements. This is targeted to be done by 31 October 2016.

“Arising from this delay, the company has prepared provisional annual financial statements for the year ended 31st March, 2016 as required by the LuSE listing rules,” he said.

He, however, said the issuance of the provisional financial statements awaited board approval once a quorate board was appointed.

Mr Chabala said the company expected that the appointment of new directors would be done by 30th September, 2016.
“Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in ZCCM-IH securities until the full year results are published,” he said.

He also said the board of ZCCM-IH currently consisted of two directors following the expiry of membership of the five directors at the end of July, 2016.

“The company now expects that the appointment of new directors shall be done by 30th September, 2016. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in ZCCM-IH securities until the company has a quorate board,” he said.

Sumitomo Corporation was one of the Companies that held talks with ZCCM-IH in a bid to forge future relationships regarding investments in the power sector in Zambia.

He also pointed out that current Japanese Official Development Assistance in Africa which currently stands at US$ 32 billion, is a substantial contribution to the continent’s development.

The President of the African Development Bank, Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, cited that Africa no longer required so much of ‘aid’ but was now ripe for investment.

During the summit, the ZDA signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with Mizuho Financial Group (MHFG) of Japan and Kenya Investment (KenInvest) of Kenya with the aim of promoting investment co-operation and identifying suitable investment opportunities, and enhance trade opportunities and information exchange, respectively.

ZCCM-IH launches its “Clean Water for Zambia” Corporate Social Responsibility Project

“Chingobe Village receives borehole for the first time since 1964”

The ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (ZCCM-IH) in this financial year (2016-2017) has planned to undertake a project dubbed “Clean Water for Zambia”, where it will focus on sinking 10 boreholes, as its core sustainable social investment.

borehole and treadle pumps launch

This project was officially launched on Friday, 05 August 2016, in Chingobe Village, situated 60 kilometers from Sinda District Boma. The village with over 240 residents, and surrounded by 3 other villages, has had no access to clean water since 1964. Women and children, have been going to fetch for clean water from as early as 04:00 hours in the morning, from a hand dug well situated 3 kilometers away. The residents have also been using a nearby well, which was also hand dug, however, the water has not been fit for human consumption.

Headman Chingobe for the village stated that waterborne diseases have been recurrent amongst his people, and that the new borehole, will certainly help reduce cases of these diseases.

Speaking during the launch and handover ceremony of the borehole, ZCCM-IH Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Pius Kasolo said that this project is one way of ZCCM-IH ploughing back to society by sinking a number of boreholes in remote areas of the country with little or no access to clean and safe water such as Chingobe Village. “Chingobe Village is the first to receive this borehole, and we will spread the remaining 9 boreholes to other parts of the country”, said Dr. Kasolo.

He further reiterated that ZCCM-IH coupled with the “Clean Water for Zambia” project will help transform society’s livelihoods by encouraging horticulture farming at small scale by providing irrigation treadle pumps in areas where boreholes will be sunk. Families already into this enterprise with be given a boost, instead of using buckets for watering, they will use treadle pumps which will help increase their productivity. In executing this project, ZCCM-IH is working with NGOs who are currently on the ground working with various horticultural communities. These NGOs are Kickstart (Zambia) (the makers and promoters of the treadle pumps) and Profit+ (who will offer training to the selected potential farmers).

In this regard, 10 women clubs representing more than 280 horticulture farmers received irrigation treadle pumps. In order to make this project sustainable, Profit+ also received 5 treadle pumps which will be given to five lead farmers, who will help train the 10 clubs. Apart from this, the organization will guide these farmers to grow horticultural products that are on demand on the market such as red onion, which is currently being imported. Profit+ will also help in linking these farmers to off-takers on the market. The farmers thanked ZCCM-IH for the noble gesture, stating that the treadle pumps would go a long way in changing their livelihoods.

Eastern Province Permanent Secretary, Chanda Kasolo expressed gratitude to ZCCM-IH for sinking of a borehole and donating the 25 money maker irrigation treadle pumps. Mr Kasolo said all these efforts would go a long way in changing the lives of communities in a sustainable manner.

ZCCM-IH hands over a solar powered computer lab to Kateshi Primary School in Kasama

The state of the art computer lab worth more than K200 thousand (USD 19, 000), is the only one of its kind in the area, and will be used by more than 6 surrounding schools, benefiting more than 6, 000 pupils.
