SCOTT: Govt Intends To Bring Mansa Batteries to Life
Vice president Guy Scott has announced plans by government to resuscitate Mansa Batteries.
Dr. Scott says government wants to ensure that state owned companies like Mansa Batteries are brought to life like in it has done in the case of Nitrogen Chemicals.
Dr. Scott has observes that government is convinced that there is still sufficient Manganese in Luapula Province to resuscitate Mansa Batteries.
Dr. Scott says by bringing to life of Mansa Batteries, government will be fulfilling its promise of reducing unemployment levels in the province and the country as whole.
And Dr. Scott has reiterated that the Patriotic Front (PF) government’s commitment to developing the country in the way it is doing it is all in line with the PF manifesto.
Dr. Scott notes that the PF government will now cut down on making rhetorical speeches about what it is able to do to concentrate on implementing developmental projects it has planned in fulfilling the promises to it has made to the people in the country.
Dr. Scott was speaking in Mansa District when he officially launched construction of Mansa township roads under the Pave Zambia 2000 Road Projects.
The vice president later proceeded to address a rally at Mushinka grounds in Mansa Central constituency in what seemed to be a preparation for a by-election which is imminent in the area following the death of the area Member of Parliament Kennedy Sakeni.
And speaking at radio program at Kfm, Dr. Scott also disclosed that the PF would prefer to field a candidate who is a resident of Mansa and popular among the people and in the party when the by-election comes forth in the area.
The vice president has also maintained that the PF has no intentions of blackmailing people of Mansa when the by-elections comes forth because the people in the area and in the country have already seen what the ruling party has done in the two years it has been in power.
Dr. Scott is in Mansa yesterday and he is accompanied by Lands and Natural Resources Minister Harry Kalaba, Home Affairs Deputy Labour Minister Ronald Chitotela, Deputy Home Affairs Minister Nickson Chilangwa, Deputy Minister of Chiefs and Traditional Affairs Susan Kawandami and former Minister of Defense Davies Mwila.
He is also scheduled to address a number of rallies in the area.

Luapula the land of plenty and yet so poor!! So many rivers that flow endless to no where with beautiful waterfalls (Mambilima Falls, Musonda Falls, Ntumba Chushi falls, Mumbuluma Falls). Two large expanse of waters, with fine sand in places and swamps in others teeming with wildlife, including Black Lechwe and more than 520 bird species, remain untapped. Oh kwa mwana mayo,ku Chibabala, ku chimya mabimbi, ku chalo chabusaka, ku Luapula Ntondo!!!

That’s the way 2 go and let the Government come up wit new ideas apart from resustating old companies. If Mansa betteries is resustated it shouldn’t only forcus on betteries but diversify.

Its not about Tribalism, the PROBLEM IS ALL ABOUT being led by a dull person.
Chiluba as President did not practice Tribalism neither Mwanawasa.
Infact Chilyba had Lawyers who were both Tonga (Vincent Malambo) & Bemba (Eric Silwamba).
Only Dull people talk about tribe.

Catch word is “intends”,but why make such intentions public only when its close to by-election? Trying to dupe Mansa locals naimwe mumfwile-learn from Kabwe with its Mulungushi textiles.

Sperm has a point on the issue of a solar panel plant. However since the battery plant is already in existence and GS reckons there is plenty of manganese, maybe we should be looking at having both the solar and battery plants. Not ukuntuka ine nakambako chabe.

Brother Musonda
September 28, 2013 at 10:41 pm
What sort of batteries will they be making? AA? Or maybe phone batteries? Times have moved since that plant closed… Technology has changed. You might want to use that manganese for other applications like special steels. Please stop thinking backwards.

BEING LED BY GRADE 7! can a person who is properly academically exposed make such a comment. MY advice to such a person is that he/she should read on leadership SPECIFICALLY on how people become leaders. little knowledge is poisonous. GREAT PARTY WITH GREAT PRESIDENT IS DOING GREATER THINGS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. VIVA MCS!

But how many times Pf will cheat the people of Mansa sure.Thats the problem with old people they forget so easly.In 2011 during the campaigns they said vote for us and within 90 days mansa batteries will be opened.Now that, there is an impending Bye election in mansa they are shamelessly going with the same lies.Mukaika formular will work out nicely in mansa again.Chew chew chew, VIVA MMD VIVA Nevers Mumba.

It is good that the VP is realizing that pf is just chewing too much to swallow. Please try to swallow first (implement current promises) before taking in more food.

These PF cadres get really silly sometimes. The VP must be senile(by his own admission ),. Battery technology has changed so much over the years and most of the newer technologies are all patented .
Assume they will be able to resuscitate the industry, who will buy the product?
Remember the Mansa batteries – if you had the privilege to use them-, we had to put them in the sun to recharge . So backward in these time!
