Zambian based in Canada builds school in Mumbwa
Mumbwa District Commissioner (DC) Dowell Chilimboyi has expressed satisfaction with the private public partnership ventures dealing with the enhancement of education in the district.
Speaking during a handover ceremony of Mubula Community Basic School in Mwembeshi Constituency today, Mr. Chilimboyi was particularly happy with the efforts of a Canadian based Zambian, Patrick Mpulubusi, whose contributions had resulted in the construction of the entire school infrastructure.
Mr. Chilimboyi said that government appreciated efforts from the private sector and individuals, adding that private public partnership was cardinal in both the 2030 economic vision and the Fifth National Development Plan (FNDP).
The two initiatives are aimed at graduating the nation from a low income country into middle income status.
He commended Mr. Patrick Mpulubusi for having funded K156 million, which was used to build nine classrooms, nine teachers hosues and 6 toilets.
He described Mr. Mpulubusi’s actions as a selfless achievement.
Mr. Chilimboyi observed that government’s efforts to develop education in rural areas needed the support from progressive minded citizens, adding that it was gratifying to note that some Zambians living abroad had responded to the challenge.
Meanwhile, proprietor of the School Mr. Mpulubusi disclosed that he was inspired to help in building the school by a calling made by President Levy Mwanawasa, in which Zambians living abroad were urged to plough back into local communities.
He said that children in some rural communities had difficulties in accessing basic education due poor financial status of their parents, noting that many of the children had to walk long distances to school.
Mr. Mpulubusi pledged to continue donating towards improving the school and expressed willingness to help in availing more schools to local communities.
He revealed that the school had nine trained teachers and that he would acquire desks, chairs and other education inputs for the school soon.
He said that he would always be close to the community where he grew up even though he was based in Canada.
He has since urged other successful citizens to adopt and help rural communities in promoting education for all.
Mubula Basic Community School is located in Mwembeshi Constituency’s Mpulubusi village, which has a population of over 3000 people.

Job well done Mr. Mpulubushi.
Well done. We should start a campaign to encourage Zambians professionals living abroad to return and develop their country. The brain drain is killing us. One wonders why we have so few indigenous Zambian engineers in our local industries, what happens to all the engineers that UNZA and CBU produce? Come home guys, the Boer is making K50m per month doing your jobs, and externalising all this money leaving us as beggars in our own land.

#2,why should we come back to suffer,cause when we were there still they gave jobs to boers,so we better also take the boers job here
How did he do it. What does he do in Canada? This is a learning point and I seriously want to know. Well done sir!
Well done Patrick but is it a private school or a public school?
Great works Mr. Patrick Mpulubusi for contributing to the development of educational infrastructure in rural Zambia. I have also been trying to supply educational materials and computers to one high school in Zambia but there doesn’t seem to be interest on the part of the school leadership. In my view, Schools in Zambia should be seen to be ready to embrace development initiatives from Zambians based in foreign countries. In the case of Mr. Mpulubusi, I also congratulate the village leadrship where the school has been constructed to accepting his initiative.
Ba Patrick, Zambia is looking for humble leaders, you better go and help by joing the government. Even M.P is a ok position.
Patrick well done, congratulations and thank you for your support to our beloved Zambia. God bless you, dude.
Thank you sir
…oh, wait a sec. South African based Zambians can beat that, cant we? I mean we are so many of us in South africa and surely if we can pull it together, we can out-shine the UK or the USA based Zambians… in a good way, can’t we? can someone reading this start something? money is surely not an issue here as we can see Zambians driving big cars to church crusades, all we need is a leader.
Exemplary example.Salutations bosses!!
These are the pipo we need in society, not only showing that you are intelligent and you are abroad by writing fruitless, baseless comments on this blog which ends no where. We need real men like Mr Mpulubusi Patrick, you are not clever to be abroad but its gods call so lets learn to give back.
Everything has the begining and the end, so we can start now and god will bless us, showing off for nothing is really bad.
Way to go mister. Thank you on behalf on the country.
Well done Mr.Mpulubushi,that is a good step sir.It matters less whether it’s a private or public school.The remarkable thing is that you are promoting development.You are so lucky and blessed a man in that even the community in which you placed the school are development minded.Otherwise dudez just chew up some cash and start stories.Keep it up.Congrats to the people you entrusted too.God Bless them too.They are so loving and have a heart for their community
# 11. Zulu 83, don’t be a sheep looking for leadership ,why don’t you start ??
And were is the legal expert (Prof with phd) who was threatening to use his financial muscle to sue pipo on this blog because his plasma tv blew up ?? can you see what needs to be done ???.
Thats leadership.
Congrates PM! Your contribution to the education sector in Zambia through infrustructure development and material provision will certainly add great value.
Thank you Ba Patrick for the a real Zedian with a golden heart? You are my man in 2011!
I join everyone in thanking ba Mpulubusi. ‘Some of us’ have failed just to adopt our room at university or college or indeed just a contribution to ex-high school. SHAME. To Mr Mpulubushi, never be swayed by some people who will be quick to as you to join politics, they will just finish you.
Well done,bosses
Thank you Mr. Mpulubusi, you have done a real great job. Keep it up.
#11, I think there is no need for a competition between Zedians in UK, USA and us in SA.
What is at stake is that let us all be useful to society around us especially the needier than some of us based at home – in Zambia.
If all Zedians abroad had a golden heart like yours we would have better Zed for our future generations!!
Thats what it means to be selfless. ..i wonder my friends with Cash in Zaed have never done this before, HH , SATA, Nevers, Chuchu , FTJ what have been your individual contributions and what about myself?????
At least Kavendele is doing something for mother Zed, he building a rail line from Chingola to his home village!!!
This chap Mpulubusi just wants to stand in Mumbwa. We can see through his political machinations. Who needs a community school in this day and era anyway. Leave it to government please! anione anione!
Ba Prof.Wamimigomo: mwaba ibolo mwaba ibolo.What have u done for your country so far? oh i know now forging certificates .
Mr Mpulubusi thank you so much for supporting the education sector in Zambia.Job well done.
# 11 and 25 lets give praise where its due and not always being negative. I bet you are not Zambians………..
Mr Mpulubusi we are behind you, continue with the good giving spirit.
It’s the first of its kind in Zambia.well done Mr.Mpulubusi and we wish you the very best in your endeavours.that’s really being patriotic.we love you.
Thank you so much Batata for allowing my child to go to school. It is indeed a descent school. May God bless you for loving us and our children.
You will one day thank the devil!
prop mutengo is right,he is trying to gain political mileage,moreover we dont even know whether its a thatched school or a brick construction,you too blind to see, zedians you get excited with free things thats why its easy to dribble you,watch this mofo and see were he ends,am also trying some ways of dribbling you,what about a stadium?
Thanx engineer. For God’s sake Pipo, this donor is suspect. Dont look through the binoclars with closed lenses and pretend to see an airshow! remove the caps at the end of the binoclars pliz. This guy is a cheat, wants to buy your vote. Yaba, how many times am I going to warn you characters. You are even bending backwards thanking him for a grass-thatched skool, shame on you!
anyway, I am sorry. I am expecting too much from ba Mumbwa Mumbwa!
#30 Prof Mutengo Waminga LLB (UNZA) LLM, MA PHD (Oxford)
What really is your problem. I dont believe you are such a bad person. what really is going on here. Help me understand!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is just trying to open ya eyes, ba natotela,nothing is for free on this earth,moreover when you do a cost estimate of 9 classes ,9 houses,and 6 toilets its practically impossible to construct a safe structure that will withstand some imposed loads with k156 million ,only thatched houses and classrooms and unventilated pitlatrines can cost that much.if by mistake they built brick houses and classroom out of that little,then the blocks are of sand and are bound to collapse.your thak you will one day bit you, ba natotela
your thank you will one day bit you,ba natotela
Congratulations Mr Patrick Mpulubusi for such investment.You`ve made a mark on your generation that can never be erased.
May God richly bless and give you more initiatives so that whatever you touch may be called blessed.
You`re are a shinning example about NOT what Zambia can do for us but what we can do for it.
This donor cipulumputu or whatever his name is wants to stand in Mumbwa. He is hoodwinking pipo through such useless donations and pipo are busy praising him. Dont say I never warned you!
I have never seen a school costing K156 million. he should have built a house for his girl friends in Chalala. And pipo, who your right hand gives, the left hand should not know. Even in poverty there is honour. Dont buy our votes pliz, pliz Mr Cipumputu
Prof Mutengo Waminga LLB (UNZA) LLM, MA PHD (Oxford) is kinda insane guy.Nowonder why the LT has given him a job to drag more people to their site.Come on LT, we can have fruitfull discusions without this wannabe profesor.
prof waminga and engineer you are all lunatics.So what seems to be the problem with him building a school?You are the plastic Zambians that will never see anything good in Zambia,well you are doomed and woe to the two of you.Some of you were just wasted by giving birth to you,if i were the maker of people i would have made you cow dung.People think they have husbands and mulamus in you kanshi bateka fikoswe in you…I wonder if waminga ever goes to the toilet always blogging.
Well done Mr Mpulubusi thses ****** haven’t even done anything for their parents.They are a type of people who never want to take responsibility of their parents when they are old.
Mark my words, this Patrick Mpulubusi guy will stand as M.P soon. The guy is clever. I think I must also built something in Kabwata where I grew up.
Let’s give praise where it is due. there is nothing wrong in what our brother has done. You just want to be having a nice time abroad chewing alone. Remember home and make some investments there.
9 Classrooms, 9 Teachers’s houses and 6 Toilets, from K156m??????????
GOVT would have given a corrupt Contractor K3 Billion for that and the job left undone. These are the Simple schools that we want in the villages, the schools that saw me from THEM, to ST Paul’s and later UNZA. I came from a grass thatched classroom all the way to Oxford University. BRAVO MPULUBUSI assuming ALL the money came from YOUR POCKET.
I hope this money was not from other donors then you just conveyed BUT FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ACTUAL DONORS.
If some qualifications people say they have fail to reflect in their reasoning or contributions, it confirms that wisdom cannot be gotten by sitting in a classroom. There is much more to wisdom, little wonder the Bible says if anyone lacks it, he should ask God who gives wisdom.
If it was a muzungu you wouldn’t have said there is nothing for mahara.Let him stand as an mp if he wants to at least more people will benefit from that school wether grass thatched or not.he is better than those who give out chitenges.Those of you who are not pleased with want he has done you are just feeling bad that you have’nt contributed anything even to up lift the stardard of living for your own relatives.leave him alone all what you want is receiving from da muzungu not fellow zedian.Well done sir.Moreover he did’nt write this story on LT,so there is no kulibonesha ta.bravo patrick.
#46 I agree with you let him stand as an MP because he’s shown responsibility and care towards rural people.It’s people like prof waminga and his friend that have made Zambia and Africa they way it is PHD(Pull Him Down)syndrome lets just give this man credit where it’s due..Whether it’s donor money or not at least he has shown accountability,he’s managed to put up a physical structure and am sure most of you who are against Patrick where shareholders in Tomorrow Investments….shame on you.
anyway, no I know how easy it is to buy ba Mumbwa Mumbwa. I will build toilets for them too and stand as a councillor like what cipumputu wants to do. for your own information, I have bullt schools, and five clinics quietly.
I hope where the 156 million school is built gets flooded and washed away so that we erase such kind of useless donations meant to hoodwink ba mumbwa mumbwa
laundered money. ma labishi. who does cipumputu (whatever his name is) think he is?
awe prof waminga kwena ulichisoso!!!!I dont know whether to laugh or not anyway i will just laugh at you coz indeed you are clown.
Ba UNZA naba Oxford (ngatabababepesha fye) ninshi babwelapo fye.
Ubungwa inama yampanga iyi!
People even get knighted by being comedians,sports persons,musicians etc like the late Chunky Charlie, he died as Sir Chunkie. Equally forgive this Waminga fellows’ LLB like #52 has said.
He is more of a joker than anything else. Most of all lets be civil in our contributions. WHEREVER YOU Are you are still Zambian whatever little you do even for your old aunt at home is for the betterment of zed. Those who can do more like Patrick, lets us encourage them, whatever their aspirations.
Just shows how poorly Zambia compensates decent hard working citizens. Surely this must be a bell ring to all that there is something obscene about wages and compensation for professionals in Zambia? Why should the government be unable to build infrastructure regardless of the trillions it gets from ZRA, and yet a single citizen can even build a more than well-structured school?
Shame on all Zambian leaders and politicians.
ALA BENA ZED ALWAYS REMEMBER BLESSED IS THE HAND THAT GIVETH AND GIVE THANX AND PRAISE WHERE IT IS DUE ! WELL DONE BA MPULUBUSI CONTNUE GIVING DONT BE DISCOURAGED
Yeah man, me afi big up mi breda we deh in Canada fi doing Jah works. I wish we had mo bredrin like him. Then we would not need the IMF and the World Bank. And all unnu bad minded, jealous critics betta shut unnu bomboh mouths before me vex an’ dash one thunder ball! Tcho!!!
Some graduates, muli ba fye! Full of words but no substance!What have you to show?Patric has done something very important.
Patrick , YOU ARE DA MAN.
Ignore that moron undoing a good man’s work, please keep up the spirit of this selfless zedian.Lets learn from him.
Mutengo Waminga you are just jealous. If you what to stand as MP a good start would be to give to the community. This guy should infact get hounard
Don’t think We have forgott that Oxford has no records of you ever studying there.
this so called prof waminga is a fake,i think he is just a kaponya or zamcab from soweto.i dont think a real prof will make such silly coments about a person developing his country
First of all, many thankx to the bro for doing what everyone should be doing for our country.
Now who is this fake Proffesor Wamingo??? Records on the university profile dont even show that he studied at Oxford before. I only wonder if the UNZA degree is real either. If it is not from Matero. He is just a jealous and vindictive individual who wished it was him who donated the school to the community.
Ba Proffessor Plz just shut up and continue flipping burgers wherever you are. You brag about building schools and five clinics. WHERE ARE THEY????? list them up in your reply.Also tell us which yr you obtained your PHD.
PLz Just SH……..UP!!!!
Thankyou
