Sleep is a critical part of a child’s overall health, but it can also be an important factor in the way they behave.

In response to the low-fat craze of the 1990s, many food companies removed saturated fats from their products, only to replace them with sugars to maintain their palatability.

As I watched the Fifa Women’s World Cup, I was probably one of many who couldn’t help but feel inspired by the women on the pitch, showing their elite fitness and ability. However, many female athletes have spoken out about the pressures they feel in regards to their bodies and the way they look.

THE Zambians the UPND government is economically tormenting by failing to honour its promises and meet their expectations are the same people who sacrificed to ensure the new dawn was in power, Chipata Diocese Auxillary Bishop Most Reverend Gabriel Phiri has said.

Bishop Phiri said it is shameful that the UPND has not fulfilled its promise that it would work on roads in Eastern Province.

Speaking on Sunday during mass in Sindamisale Village, Vubwi, Bishop Phiri said Zambians were using a road in Malawi to access Vubwi.

“This is August, you promised that you will rehabilitate the road. When are the works going to start? This is shameful. I do not know which road the mayor used to come here. Why should we access this place via Malawi where we pay money at the border when we have our own road?” Bishop Phiri asked as congregants cheered him on.

He said people struggle to access Sindamisale.

Bishop Phiri said government officials promised on February 11, that roads would be worked on.

The clergyman said roads such as that leading to Lundazi, to Chadiza, Vubwi are still in a deplorable state.

“In our church, before a marriage union takes place, we announce three times before finally sealing the marriage. I will not interpret what I mean,” he said.

Bishop Phiri said people badly need proper roads.

He also reminded the government that fertiliser should be delivered on time and not delayed like the previous farming season.

Bishop Phiri also said people do not want to share fertiliser in “medas” (small tins).

He said there were no mines or industries in Eastern Province and people only depend on agriculture.

“If agriculture is chaotic, it affects everything here. Please pay attention to this request. The people who you are troubling are those who voted for you. Do not forget,” Bishop Phiri said. 

He said UPND will remember the people that voted for it.

“What message will you tell them when you start canvassing for votes when that time comes?” The bishop asked as parishioners cheered. 

Bishop Phiri said a 50 kilogramme bag of seed was costing between K400 and K450. 

He said therefore if one bought maize from the Food Reserve Agency, such a person would make a profit of 100 percent as K280 was not much.

Bishop Phiri said the suffering of people should stop.
