A MALAWIAN has sued the Council of the University of Zambia demanding that it confers her with a Masters of Business Administration in Management Strategy.

Ms Susan Tissah Mkangama wants the Lusaka High Court to order the Council of the University to, in the alternative, refund her tuition fees with interest at a rate to be determined by the court.

Ms Mkangama wants the court to order that she be paid damages for loss of use of funds.

She also wants damages for loss, inconvenience, damages for mental anguish,  legal costs and any other relief that the court may deem fit.

She has stated in a statement of claim that she was a Malawian with interest to study or major in a Master of Business Administration with the University of Zambia.

She submitted that about October 2019  she duly  tendered  an application  to the defendant  university  for the purpose of being enrolled  under  the 100 percent  online MBA in entrepreneurship programme  the university was offering .

Ms Mkangama stated that by an email from the university‘s administration department dated October 22, 2019, she was advised that she would  need  an application fee,  scanned copies  of academic documents,  O Level records  or equivalent  for International students and  a scanned  copy  of her National Identification  Card (NRC)  and  passport  for her application  to be processed.

Ms Mkangama stated that from the foregoing, she has suffered loss and damage.

During the first year of the pandemic, the United States saw a spike in the number of Black infants who died suddenly—worsening a longstanding disparity, a new government study finds.

Kids and teens are struggling with their mental health in America, and one new report suggests the overinvolvement of parents may be partly to blame.

Schizophrenia is a type of mental illness that occurs in about one in every 100 people. The distressing condition affects how one thinks, feels, and behaves.

Patients-turned-social-media-influencers routinely offer prescription drug advice to their followers and often have close ties with pharmaceutical companies, according to new University of Colorado Boulder research.

Every minute of every day, our body adapts to meet the needs of each moment. When we binge on carbs, exercise, or become sick, chemical reactions inside our cells switch on, slow down, or shift strategy so that we have the energy and strength we need.

The vascular smooth muscle cells that normally give blood vessel walls strength and flexibility proliferate and become destructive in pulmonary hypertension, a typically rapidly progressing condition that makes it hard to get blood inside our lungs and oxygen to our bodies.

PRESIDENT Hakainde Hichilema yesterday spent several minutes disparaging and slighting his predecessor, former President Edgar Lungu, describing insinuations that the former head of State would be returning to power as “kutumpa uko” (that is being stupid).

President Hichilema has vowed that he would never allow the return of former President Lungu to take State power from him because according to him, the former President had committed many crimes during his reign.

“Kutumpa uko (that is being stupid). We will not allow you to return to power after committing so many crimes during your regime,” President Hichilema said.

The head of State claimed he would have died at the hands of former President Lungu but that God had protected him and there was no way he was going to allow the return of the former head of State to power because according him, many more young people would be killed.

President Hichilema said he could easily have allowed UPND to seek revenge against the PF after ascending to the presidency but had decided to restrain his members and “protected him” (former President Lungu) and therefore it was “kutumpa uko” to begin to chant alebwelelapo.

“Many people would have died if I have allowed revenge but we protected them…including him (former President Lungu). At the Ndola Airport, two days before the elections, he was saying he was going to hand over power to himself…and that he was going to arrest me so that I die in jail. Now I am here and I should allow him to come back so that he can come and arrest me so that I die in jail. So that many more young people should be killed…Kutumpa uko,” President Hichilema said.

President Hichilema said the former head of State risked losing his freedoms should the UPND decide to avenge and begin treating him the same way he was treated while in opposition.

He warned that the former head of State could easily lose his freedoms, including the freedom of attending church services because he had been through that himself.

He said championing the return of the former head of State was unwise as the people of Zambia did not want to take this country back to where it came from.
