First Lady Thandiwe Banda says the church is an important

institution that contributes to the development of the nation through spiritual guidance to citizens.

Speaking in a speech read for her by Vice President George Kunda’s wife, Ireen, Mrs. Banda said the church needs to be supported as it contributes to the national development and promotes the unity and well-being of citizens.

She noted that the church also provides community services through the construction of basic facilities such as schools and clinics.

She said this at a fund raising luncheon for the Reformed Church of Zambia (RCZ) at Petauke’s Chimwemwe lodge.

Mrs. Banda observed that the increase in the membership of church members is a testimony that that more people were becoming sober minded, adding that this would focus peoples’ minds on developing the country.

Earlier, RCZ Reverend Francis Zulu said the church requires K20 million to expand the church building and the house of the Reverend.

Reverend Zulu said other requirements were benches, vestry chairs and building materials for major renovations.

  1. Ok TB even has powers to delegate her speeches! Power is sweet for real, no wonder that predidential candidate “njikwite” doesnt sleep just to get to plot 1.

  2. Fr Bwalya was talking about the well being of the people and development of the nation. How ironic that his statements were characterized as anarchy but meanwhile the 1st lady wants the church to help. If you are going to ask them to help or contribute, why not allow them to air their views and criticize when the see fit or the see that you are not performing to the required level? The only good priest is one that praises and is in bed with thieving and failing leadership. Sad.

  3. we love you and we’ve got nothing against you at all Mrs Banda. just try to keep a low profile and only show up when it really counts.

  4. Iwe LOKOMBWE wi la pontela chikanda, polony ya kulubemba ati yalitikama kwati milomo shya blaki. nga wachi pashyanya ko na fimbi we!
