Ngweze Primary School, located in the Zambezi Region, has recognised the achievements of learners and teachers in the previous academic year.

The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform has rolled out interventions to assist flood-affected farmers in the Zambezi Region.

The ministry has stepped in by removing the produce of farmers whose fields are submerged by water.

A former learner of Impalila Combined School in the Zambezi Region, Brian Shamalaza, has given back to the school by donating school uniforms and accessories to needy learners.

The donation benefited 73 learners from Grade 1 to Grade 11.

Some relocated learners from flood-affected schools in the Zambezi Region are steadily adjusting to their new environment at Lusese, where temporary facilities have been set up to ensure the continuation of teaching and learning.

Efforts continue to relocate and accommodate many flood-affected people in the Zambezi Region, with the most pressing concern being ensuring learners are settled so schools can resume. 

The Zambezi Region is facing a double-barreled disaster following the outbreak of locusts in some areas.

The region is already dealing with worsening floods that have displaced residents, and schools have been closed.

The first load of school furniture and personal belongings from Nankutwe Combined School has arrived at Luhono via the Kapelwa Kabajani Ferry, marking the start of the relocation of flood-affected schools in the Zambezi Region.

The Ministry of Health and Social Services in the Zambezi Region is preparing for a potential increase in the number of flood-affected individuals, estimating up to 23,665 people under a worst-case scenario.

Flooding in the Zambezi Region is having a devastating impact on farming communities, with many crop fields now submerged under water. Farmers have lost large portions of their crops, while others remain at risk as water levels continue to rise.

There are renewed calls for urgent improvements in the distribution of food aid to affected communities in the Zambezi Region, with concerns raised over delays and lack of accountability in the current system.
