The President is accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister, Harry Kalaba, former Republican President, Rupiah Banda, Special Secretary to the President, Amos Chanda, his special political advisor, Keizer Zulu and other senior government officials.

Speaking to journalist, en-route Country Club Hotel where the President will reside, Mr Lungu appealed to Namibian citizens to reflect where they came from and where they are in terms of politics and appreciate the peace and unity they are enjoying.

Other heads of state and government that have since arrived for the celebrations include Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and former leaders including Thabo Mbeki the Republic of South Africa.

  1. His Excellency showing the naysayers he is fit and performing his duties well..

    Yes 2020vision has reported..where is larry Mweetwa (aka wanzelu and his satanic cohorts by the names of pretty, anderson chishala and !diot Sido Mark) ?? Where are these scoundrels???

    Nomba Ni EL2016!!!!

  2. I hope and pray that president Edgar Lungu is not going to collapse in a foreign country and the eyes of the international community.And embarrass the Zambian people.

  3. By the way, I hope he carried coartem to Namibia. We don’t want to hear someone collapsing due to malaria.

  4. Must be nice ka. this jet setting lifestyle. Especially if there’s someone to catch you in case you collapse from a mosquito bite

  5. My desire is that the trip be conducted for its own purpose and not as a PR stint. Why should the trip to Namibia evoke sloganeering EL2016? Twenty eight heads of state were invited and those not attending are not making news around it. Those secure in their positions will either fly out and back without media hullalooboo we experienced until socialist regimes of Romania, North Korea…..allow the Preaident to go and take it as normal business of a president.
