  1. ba Mbewe…you cant predict life expectancy….what are you doing about road mishaps,mine accidents…the list is endless…only God knows and no human being can openly say blah blah blah…just talk about the medical progress you have made in the ministry of health…not life expectancy my bro!!!!!

  2. Thanks to the former MMD government which worked honestly and very hard to achieve this milestone.People of Zambia should not expect less from these kaponyas,who visionless.Lets keep them in check.Bravo MMD ,you are been vindicated by professionals not cheap liars.

  3. Let’s not politicise matters of life.just last year it was 37 and has risen by 6 years?????Nonsense bootlicking spokesman….what are the determinants of life expectancy…??the component of curative health is jst one…and you keep talking abt TB..what is our greatest burden of disease in Zambia iwe?do know how many KM pipo walk to access medical atention in rural areas?and u say this has changed in a year?retract this article and give us good scientific analysis of this sudden change.or you are preparing us for justification to hike the retirement age as proposed by a….

  4. Cant understand this? So those of us who are still living after 47 years are actually dead theoretically. This is strange news that every Zambian is expected to live for 47 years only. And yet the PF Kaponyas still want the living dead to continue working even after 47 years. Zambia – the real Africa of confused theorists. Well after 47 years legalised term of living in Zambia according to Kamoto fimofimo its a matter of gate crushing into later years! Yaba!
    AMbewe spreading dull news as usual. I end here!

  5. Last time I checked (5 min. back), according to the CIA World Fact Book, life expectancy in Zambia was 52.36 years. Whereas the minister probably uses data up-dated once every 5 years hence the perceived big jump, the CIA up-dates at short regular intervals allowing for a more accurate prediction of the trends. Analyst @ 1, it’s time you changed your name – life expectancy is a statistic based on historical figures.

  6. Organisations such as UNDP and World bank put Zambia’s life expectancy at 48 years. Zambia’s own CSO puts it at 50 years. Who is right?

  7. total population: 52.36 years
    country comparison to the world: 207
    male: 51.13 years
    female: 53.63 years (2011 est.).

  8. All these are the achievements of the past MMD government. This confirms everything I have been saying that the MMD left something positive. Let us see what PF will arrive in 2016 with, by the time of next elections. Ma-rubbish. Rupiah Banda messed up the MMD BIG TIME and he is probably the bigger ***** compared to Sata. HOWEVER, the MMD still has by far the more intelligent leaders compared to the PF chicken run govt.

  9. Why do Zambian institutions use spokesmen?
    Statistics should be announced by the statisticians themselves, so that people can ask questions that they can answer. In any case, this is credit to the former MMD government. We wait to see the results after 20 years of PF what will happen. More money in your pockets is indirectly proportional to longevity in Zambia.

  10. Gee so ba MMD worked afterall ! Thumbs ups MMD. 103 days out of power and your works are still YEILDING results. VIVA MMD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  11. Uh…. I wouldn’t get too carried away congratulating the MMD for its effective health policies – 43 years is still an appallingly low life expectancy. Apparently, I’m on borrowed time already.

  12. No 1 ANALYST.

    Those figures are calculated using the statistical data available from child births, morality rates, including traffic accidents. They arent predictions…..hahahahahahaaaa

  13. Stating that life expectancy is 43 does not mean no Zambian is expected to live beyond that age. Isn’t it obvious that this is extrapolated fom looking at the myraid of factors causing death, collarating the ages at which these deaths occur, assessing numbers of people in particular age groups e.t.c. and arriving at an average?

  14. :-?We need to know which cohort of people this life expectancy applies to, because cohorts have different life experiences interms of epidemics

  15. Ba MMD  you are bringing marubbish in here get over it! We havehad enough of your dirty mind. How much cash did your government misuse on  poor Zambian people in hearth system? What did the USA government promised you after you misused all the funds? Marubbish guys. I am not a PF supporter or rather do i stand for any political partie. Just doing my things here in Australia. I am sometime sad looking at the standered of our people who depends on katapa and tute making thier day. The current government needs our support to move our country. Get over it! Silly! 

  16. Though these identical are less expensive evaluating to the unique ones, you will not differentiate anything between both of them

  17. Using empirical data (2010 household deaths and populations), i think it is higher than the 43 yrs. Overally, it is about 51 yrs, 53 for females and 49 for males. It would be interesting to get figures from CSO.
