Zambia gets a smooth transition of power.

FORMER President Rupiah Banda yesterday officially handed over the presidential office to President Michael Sata at State House. Mr Banda handed over the office to Mr Sata after the two conducted a short tour of State House.
The tour which started around 10:00 hours ended up in a closed door meeting. Mr Banda on Friday afternoon handed over the instruments of power to Mr Sata during the inauguration ceremony at the Supreme Court grounds. Various stakeholders have since commended Mr Banda for handing over power in smooth transition.

EDMUND RICE

Edmund Rice was born in 1762 in Callan, county Kilkenny, Ireland. Following his early education he moved to Waterford where he was apprenticed to his uncle, Michael, who supplied the numerous shops visiting the expanded port.

Edmund eventually succeeded his uncle and became a prosperous businessman. He married in 1785 and a daughter was born to the marriage but soon after his wife died in 1789. Edmund cared for his daughter with the support of his step-sister, Joan.

After much discernment and seeing the lack of Christian education among the boys of Waterford, Edmund commenced his great work of Christian education, which over time spread across the globe.

Two religious congregations, the Christian Brothers and the Presentation Brothers, developed from the foundation which he laid in 1802. Edmund led the Brothers for many years before dying in Waterford in 1844.

In 1996, he was declared “Blessed” by the Church – the first step in the Catholic Church towards sainthood.
