SOUTHERN Province Minister Miles Sampa has pledged to work closely with all traditional leaders and Members of Parliament (MPs) in the province to foster development.

Mr Sampa said he would work with all 41 chiefdoms and all MPs in 11 districts of Southern Province to foster development in the area.

The minister arrived in Livingstone on Wednesday to take up his position after he was transferred from Lusaka and addressed people who welcomed him at Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport.

Mr Sampa, who spoke in Tonga throughout his speech, said he did not come to Southern Province to engage in politics but to foster development in the area.

He said it was time to work and not to politicise issues of development because campaigns ended when the people voted the PF into Government on September 20, this year.

Mr Sampa said people interested in politicking should wait for 2016 tripartite elections because it was now time for development.

President Michael Sata recently appointed Mr Sampa as new Southern Province minister to replace Lukulo Katombola, who was relieved of his duties.

  1. ofcourse Miles will know Tonga imwe naimwe, get your facts right. HE WENT TO NAMWIANGA SECONDARY SCHOOL ! Give the guy a chance, he is a yound a progressive guy and not recycled material

  2. I hope he will rerain from his politics of tribalism. That is southern province. He will leave the province faster than he has gone. Otherwise, I wish him all the best to the third developed province of zambia despite being in opposition through and through. Make sure that Kalomo is divided into too and foster development.

  3. This guy is smart. It will be folly 4 UPND hooligans to frustrate the young man coz his is a developmental mission in Southern Province

  4. Congrats Miles… show them. And keep speaking a lot of Tonga; never ever speak Bemba in that terriroty, even by accident… bcoz the small minded few will see that as tribalism.

  5. @Leds on #8- Oh please, come on be serious. You are better off being quite if you have no serious issues. Why is that some Zambians are so jealous of others? when you work hard and own something they will be all over talking, if you are better than then in one thing they will go all over talking. its sad. Work hard, when you have money you too will attract attention for now seem not to have anything to accord you attention. Sorry but aya ma facts!

  6. What makes you think I am trying to take away attention from Miles? I wouldn’t want a reputation like his. Sorry that is fact too. Just calling a spade a spade. The man sees no skirt pass. I am sure anyone who knows him personally will attest to this. 

  7. Thats a smart move Miles, am sure objective Tongas will realise its one country and you understand them well, I intend to learn Tonga since I also live them Tonga women!!!!

  8. Has he gone there with Bemba women for Tonga men to intermarry them as he had suggested before? Although he spoke in Tonga he is still acting as a Bemba. A leopard can not change its spots.

  9. Go Miles , bring in more bemba guys on your crew , but only those serious about marrying tonga girls not bemba play boys,Us tonga girls want to marry bemba men, like you ..and alimwi you look hot, bring more bemba men please minister

  10. Wait a minute! this guy insulted the Tongas. Dont bury your heads in the sand as you have been doing over 90 days lies. Sata promised BRE restoration within 90 days and is now in denial of it but its on record. Sampa insulted Southern province people never to produce any president from there unless they intermarry with Bemba women. Its on record only liars, short memory people who thrive on lies will deny it. LIES HAVE SHORT LEGS, CAUGHT IN NO TIME. Pathetic Fools without morals……………..

  11. What a joker, I think when he talked about ‘development’ as opposed to ‘politics’ he spoke from his heart, unfortunately he deliberately switched the 2 terms, the truth is he is actually there for politics.

  12. He should be happy at all and forget what he said about Tonga people with his colleague Kambwili, in Tonga we “kaluba mwaambi, mwambilwa talubi” as Tongas we shall not forget the insults he said on us and we praying for his exit from govt day by day. He can not development Southern Province with his arrogant. He has just gone there to enrich himself. Already he flew on going there instead of driving for himself what is required to develop. Smart people can never bring development, so he should not cheat the traditional leaders.

  13. @ RB zambia not even close my brother alimwi Miles is dead drop handsome no tonga man again for me its bemba time now————————————————–@19 MELISA NGUWAWUZUMA what southern power basa ? The highset post in our land SA is held by a bemba man and you are still bragging , what tail has this Miles Sampa put between his legs? you are deluded hiding behind your key board instead of going back to Choma and fight for the tonga people, given 20 years the people voting in southern province will be Bwalyas, Musondas, Chola,s because by the end of PF 4 terms , these bembas will have blessed us tonga girls with their children, keep pounding your key board as they breed with us

  14. GREAT. I ENCOURAGE TONGA MEN TO MARRY BEMBA WOMEN AND VISE VERSA. COME TO THINK OF IT, IT’S ONE OF THE ROUTES TOWARDS NEUTRALISING THIS NONSENSICAL TRIBALISM. ONLY THAT MILES WAS JUST SOMEWHAT CRUDE THE WAY HE PUT IT EARLIER. WAY TO GO

  15. Sampa should have put it the other way round. More Bembas should marry Tonga women! We all know how Bembas are able to forget tribe when they see a beautiful woman and Southern Province has plenty of them beauties. I am gonna get me one of them Tonga girls watchout!

  16. thats really nice stuff from the minister please develop the southern province as you have promised. wishing u all the best.

  17. HE SHOULD HAVE STARTED BY APOLOGISING FOR WHAT HE SAID IN PARLIAMENT ABOUT TONGAS AND THEN TALK ABOUT DEVELOPMENT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT SOME PEOPLE CAN NOT REALISE WHEN THEY HAVE OFFENDED OTHERS.

  18. Just foolish to congratulate him before he does anything. the boy was brought up in Kalomo thats why he knows Tonga.One zambia one nation so it doesnt matter where he is from or his language if he does well Fine we will praise him.Not now

  19. This is a good tactical move by PF just waiting to see what ka HH and his Useless Party of Narrow-minded Dunderheads (UPND), as it will just show how selfish and tribal they really are if they refuse to work with him at the expense of regional development.

  20. Oh no, do not talk of him “beating ” the Tongas brain wise. These guys have ruled themselves since time immermorial.Watch the space.Why doesnt he go to Choma? I though it is the new HQ?

    ok
