The woman i wish i had.Congratulation Mizinga.You rock girl !!
Who would you prefer, your current wife and mother to your 7 children or Mizinga Melu who refused to conceive because she had to concentrate on her career? Mizinga Melu has no children my friend, she does’t like to be nyengared, well, only with condoms. So what you are seeing in her from that distance is just a mirage. You’re better off with your amake Junior in your Mtendere mansion.
“Mizinga Melu has no children my friend, she does’t like to be nyengared, well, only with condoms” Hmm ! Ki ki ki, you have a lot of data my friend. She just never met one like me, if only she met me she could have been bana Mpundu just after completing her first degree at UNZA.Lol
But i can nyengaa her.I have a thing for intelligent women.Congrats sweet heart.
Analume ,you are just jealous was once on a plane with this woman ,she has a lovely daughter and a husband, typical UPND cadre mentality. Congratulations Melu ,sky is not the limit, go girl.
We need women in strategic positions.
Beautiful gelo with brains.Ningachigwile gwile given a chance.Problem nichita che imagine.
Now, that’s a Zambian woman of substance!
All you twerking, husband snatching mosi drinkers of Kabwata take note!
@Kudos. Today, I agree with you. Mizinga that girl from Mazabuka, rocks…….!!!!!!!!
Despite her achievements she has remained so loyal to Mr. Melu. God bless you Mizinga!! You are making Zambia proud all the time and a bright light from the South!!
You all do not know Mizinga. Firstly, she has not been to UNZA. She is a product of hard work and thinking outside of the box. Secondly, she has two children (Matt and Ann-Rose) albeit adopted. Her decision to adopt has nothing to do with the innuendos made my some bloggers here.
@JJT
Stop lying she went to UNZA. Check her wikipedia page.
Careful with Wikipedia. Anyone can edit and it can be misleading. She will be the first to tell you she never went to UNZA. Well done Mrs. Melu, one of Zambia’s greatest daughters and exports so far. Keep flying our flag higher and higher!!!!

The problem is that she has a husband who is a “John isoolye ubwali”. Biblically, even socially the man is supposed to be higher than the woman. Women shud be careful of men who are opportunists.
Abena Zambia, ubufi! So and so has never been to ‘YUNZA’ or has no children or has adopted children. None of which is true about Mizinga Melu. Get the facts before you write your utterly vacuous nonsense.
Proud of you melu.keep shining,the sky is the limit!
A great inspiration to me as a woman!God bless you.
