The workshop for former African leaders called to discuss the challenges posed by the HIV and AIDS pandemic to the socio-economic development of the continent opened in Livingstone today.
The former heads of states in attendance at the three-day workshop taking place at the Zambezi Sun hotels include Tanzania’s second president Ali Hassan Mwinyi, his successor Benjamin Mkapa, Bakili Muluzi of Malawi and Pierre Buyoya of Burundi.
Others distinguished officials are former African union secretary general and prime minister of Tanzania Salim Ahmed Salim and executive secretary of the Africa Forum Dr John Tesha.
United Nations development programme resident coordinator Aeneas Chuma and senior Zambian government officials are also in attendance.
Opening the workshop, President Mwanawasa said Zambia has made great strides to prevent the further spread of the pandemic and mitigate its socio-economic impact.
In a speech read on his behalf by defence minister George Mpombo, Dr Mwanawasa said the country has adopted a multisectoral approach to prevent infection, treat, and care and support the infected and the affected.
He told the leaders that Zambia is greatly honoured that its president Dr Kenneth Kaunda is among those in the fore front fighting the pandemic.
Dr Mwanawasa said the Zambian response to the pandemic has involved formulation of policies and guidelines citing the national HIV/AIDS/STI/TB policy and the policy on providing free antiretroviral drugs in public health institutions.
And in a vote of thanks, African Forum executive secretary said the solution to the AIDS pandemic does not lie with the donor community but within Africa.
Dr John Tesha said there is now need for more action than rhetoric.
During the three days workshop the former leaders will also engage in dialogue with children who have been impacted by HIV and AIDS while they are also expected to visit various places where they would be confronted with brutal facts of the pandemic and reflect on the issue together.
ZANIS
Young pipo are dying from the disease, day in and day out, while old pipo are enjoying the disease by holding workshops which only benefits themselves.
# 1, if you are one of these young ones, you should sit down at the feet of these elderly and ask them the secret to avoiding this desease. Otherwise there is no need to resent the old whom we can learn something from.
#2. it’s true we can learn something from this old madala’s, But againg as #1 said thy are also benefiting from the Conference coz beleive me at the end of that 3 day conference thy will get alot of money or should i say $. enough to buy a house.
#2. it’s true we can learn something from this old madala’s, But againg as #1 said thy are also benefiting from the Conference coz beleive me at the end of that 3 day conference thy will get alot of money or should i say $. enough to buy a house.
What about FTJ?
#5 What about him?
#% Gluco, what are you suggesting about FTJ?
They are many of these pipo who are wasting the nation’s resoures on medicals, the Shikapwashas and Mulongotis!!!
“2”Was Aids around in those days?Am sure the carried on worse then us.Nobody can learn about Aids apart from change from oneself and that is a fact.CONDOM, CONDOM.
What about Dr Chuchu himself?
Old madalas’ efforts are just all about showing their concern. There is however little impact they can make in critical aspects of the pandemic. Probably the only area they can do one or two things in care through donations they can be given by well wishers and create employment for their kith and kin, otherwise not much. As for the question of being moralists, I doubt it very much. Most of them were “demonking” indiscriminately during their time, except they were lucky there was no aids.
This is a good sign for African presidents it shows there is life after state house.This should give many African leaders reason not to hang on to power.They can be involved in such ventures to keep them busy. Well done KK you are the man.
#9, Are you justifying promiscuity that is currently being witnessed today. Well, some in those days could have carried themselves worse than us, but they had their lucky days. Besides, Aids had just set in and cases were minimal. Its the “change from oneself” that you are talking about that has not yet been grasped by everyone, that is why we have so many dying from this disease. So are you going to keep quiet and assume that everybody knows what to do to avoid this disease?
#6 & 7
I was trying to say FTJ is not in attendance as former head of state, why?
#13 tusha
Why is it that every Zed musician who sings about AIDS they died faster than the sale of that album?I can give u examples of:
1.Chisala Kalusa(mayo wilalila ni Margie ewacitafino)
2.PK(umuti wa AIDS kuyicindika)
3.Nasty D(Chosa condom)
4.Chris Chali(chikopekope ca manso)
5.Mike Nyoni(samalani chikwati)
6.Max Mwansa(umwanakashi waupwapo)
7.Ackim Simukonda(Bana bandi)
8.plus others
And coming to FTJ adm we saw a lot of his ministers affected and infected by AIDS and MORE in LP
#15 cont..
more in Dr Chuchu adm makamaka Shikapwasha,VJ,Masebo etc.On #2,I dont agree with you coz there is nothing I can get from Rupiah Banda and if anything old folks dont use condoms.The best solution is ABC or drink beer no sex(DBNS).We saw how a 20 yr boy after ama dizzy nokutolamo Elina Mwanza aged 60+ wa AIDS.Now the question is AIDS the ofshoot of povelty or lack of self control?
#15 ba jose,on nasty D You ve got it wrong,nasty D achili alepema but alimba ‘mukamfwilwa bwela’ na ‘waikalisha icibongososwela’and LPM is no where to be seen maybe bali ku review…
#15 Ba Joze you have forgotten Paul Ngozi with Mateenda AIDS asiliza bantu before he died in 1988. Gentlemen seek medical help if you are sick, In the west pipo even have children after suffering from HIV. Anonymous you are criminal laughing at sick pipo is not an option. You are human and one day you will be sick too not only aids kill any sickness can take life. dont laugh others you dont know what God has provided you. Ba Joze stop your political hartrage one day the devil you let you down.
About madalas discuss about HIV/AIDS is not a bad thing actually its good to talk about. I want to remind you bloggers AIDS is known as early as 1959 in Zambia 1983 was the first case record, the patient zero is Niclous Zulu and he is still alive and doing fine. Recently he was in Japan attending a conference on HIV. Stop laughing but look for solutions. Way down adverts has appeared in the media and mind you not all infected got hiv thru sex there are ways you can contract this scallege.
#17 bwanji, owee sorry ala ni Daddy Zemus(ka gello kosweta).pa 3 must be the late band leader of “youth band”.On Chuchu, I still got confirmed report that has urinary problem, every 10 minutes nishi baya mukusunda.Do u remember Cifire saga?Then nishi fyonse fyala inkansula mu equation te?
ctd.. think of the way going to get a haircut at public hairbarbar. Our unclean environment. Coming contaminated blood etc. Awareness is the best solution.
#20 Ba Joze are you normal. What is wrong with you? Concentrate on education others on this blog instead of trying to gain a political milage on ones sickness. Do you think of you on death. Let me tell you every step you take you are moving towards your grave. What is good is that you will never reach it because the last steps you will be carried. Ba Joze this nonsense add education and awareness.
Big up to the former heads of state.Why was tata Mandela not invited? or better still FTJ?
GLUCO my brother FTJ is not a formal leader he cannot been accounted as a leader. Go to be BCC under archives and listen about taxes programs in Zambia and hear what this man did to the country together with IMF and World Bank. You will hear Edith Nawakwi talking, Prof. John Lungu of CBU and other Zambians. The waste is Magande with his comments of having patience.
#18 Easy,I dont dwell in devil’s path. I have Jesus my salvation, the way, the truth and right.In him I have eternal life.Amen.Easy, when much of the country was infested tsetse flies that cause trypanonsomiasis to cattle and sleeping sickness to pipo.The vector was eliminated by chemical control and then why not malaria?The all thing is conspiracy to let pharmaceuticals to create jobs by intoxing pipo with quinine, gamaquine ect when for sure they can eradicate malaria cycle by killing mosquito
23 Mandela is runing a different program of elderly statemen and he is now too old to fly. Last month he was supposed to travel to france for the Rugby world cup final but he couldnt. The man is 89 years. that is not a joke especially having been in prison for 27 years. Look all those who mistreated him he has over lived them. P.W. Botha, Ian Smith and many other boers.
25 Ba Joze I know that the lord cares for you but sometimes you show too much hartrage to Gods creation. This is unfair my brother. The problem of Malaria eradication lies in search and development.Do you know in the west there is no malaria and if pipo travel to tropical regions they get phofiracicy to avoid infection. Why have not been extended to tropical countries. You remember Prof. Lameck Ngoma operated the mosiquie in 1960s but because he was black and Zambia his thesis dont go anywhere.
We have to take the ball in our own net or else we shall be dying.
# 25 cont..
Then,why is it that Subsahara is the most hit regions with AIDS in the world?.Are the pipo more promiscuous than the west?The answer my friend is blowing in the air.As at now with AIDS in Southern Africa
1.Bostwana 33%
2.Zim 29%
3.Lesotho 30%
4.Mozambique 25%
5.Zambia 19 %
6.Malawi 16%
7.Namibia 23%
8.Swaziland 21%
9.RSA 24% with 5 Million pipo affected and is ranked the highest in the world in terms of the figure.
10.Nigeria 12%
# Ba Joze those statistics are fake and they are meant to degrade a black person. Two days ago WHO just corrected the figures of HIV. They are dont conform with the true situation on the country. Look India has 5 million HIV case from i Billion population. How can say Swaziland has more than 80% infection when the population is about a million. There is too exageration on these figure because of interest you mentioned above. What you have to know HIV medicine at the begining was cost thousand…
of dollars today we can get the same medicine for peanuts. Why Ba JOze? Think twice before you condem yourself. You mean in the west pipo dont have sex or what. The disease HIV knows no borders like the internet it can penetrate anywhere anyhow. DOnt means lead us. at the begin the west wanted to associate HIV only for subsahara just like climate change until they´have been hit too.
Ba Joze go and count the number of pipo sick from HIV not this percent thing its misleading.
Ba Joze ask yourself why everything that is black is asscociated with bad.
#27 Easy Malaria is a tropical disease and it is extending to higher latitudes due to global warming and that has prompted developed countries to ractify Kyoto protocal and still lagging in signing is USA the greatest emitter of CO2 and CFC.Thus,killing mosquitoes will eradicate malaria.For AIDS,I told you the answer is blowing in the air my friend.
Easy mwaice I think you are riff ruff.Do you know how to read?Why jump into conclusions on things I have not stated?Mwaice Easy naya and you must take a break so that you dont bore the pipo with your scanty data.Take time to read mwaice plz read again my postings.Anyway naya, you are so bored mwaice.
I think Malawi is higher than Zambia see the BBC report on Malawi some four days ago.
Iwe Ka Joze go and sleep too your data is not liable. Why depend on BBC report. You mean we cannot count ourselves. Be proud of what you are.
Gents,how come nowadays fancida is taken like any normal tablet?
#15. John Chisala Kalusa message in ‘Ni Maggie’ says that his loss of weight does not emanate from any physical ailment but rather from his love for a girl called Maggie (who presumably was playing hard to get). It does not imply that Maggie had infected him with a disease. The song is not about AIDS/HIV.
Most men who are married in Zambia have at least one girl friend,These lovers are known by friends, families and sometimes wifes. It is very common for men to attend functions or go to night clubs with girls friends. Regardless of social class it is not embarrassing to have extra marital affair in Zed while in Europe it is embarrasing, All tribes in Zambia have this Phrase BAKAZI BA KUNYUMBA. THATS WHY WE ARE ALL AFFECTED BY AIDS IN ZAMBIA.
Iwe ka Easy,we all know that Mushalala ali ni uncle obe uwalebofya ifinyanga when killing innocent pipo and Katele ni mulamo obe with his wizard laptop.So you being a kalubale(luvale)who’s different from others you can start sending ifinyanga mu cyber.You claim ati walikwata master’s degree nayo iyapambale without substance in terms of reasoning and sense of humour.I earlier warned u to stop tossing open equations on the blog and u still do it.Kashi niwe mushebwa,plus ulicikopo sana.Go and sleep
#41Cont..Ka Easy Profile
is Luvale born in 1966.He started drinking imbote at the age of 8.At the the age of 12 he had hookworms(Ascaris)that made him to have akalufumo kwati ni chula wambototo.He repeated G7 for 4 times coz of football until he passed to go to form1.He was the oldest in class with hard chinefunefu mukushava.He’s married with 8 children whom he hardly know their names.He has over staye in USA coz of rewriting thesis for the 6th time in Economics and now he has changed to IT.
#41/42 Ba Joze sorry I thought you have grown up and sensible. Just answer my challenge to you. You go UTH and count the pipo who are HIV. Not just believe ati Musungu akamba this Ian Smith cholaboyi. Wake up!
Yes I dont know the names of my children I always as my wife when statistic workers come to do sensors in Kalabo.
Easy you must a fool to believe that am at interz making tea.Do you know where Mariana is?Easy mwaice let me pump my senses into your senseless senses.Those statistical rates I gave you #29 were obtained from CIA data 2006.Stats rates are not true reflection but carries a + or – significant figure and falls within the medium range to be accepted where the out lier figures are compromised.Iwe mwaice Easy do you know how to calculate %?Count the # of infected AIDS/HIV pipo and divide it with popul
#45 cont..
poulation of the entire country.In Botswana half million are infected, now divided 0.5mil/1.6mil x100=31% which is closer to projected rate.Easy dont think that Mathematicians are fools like u who cant apply a formula to derive at a solution.When Dr Miti submitted AIDS figures to Dr Chuchu,he rejected them coz he’s a shallow thinker like you.How would a lawer reject figure from a professional man?Unless that man is a crook may be.
Quote from #44 Easy (MASTER’S STUDENT-USA)
“Yes I dont know the names of my children I always as my wife when statistic workers come to do sensors in Kalabo”
SUPPOSED TO BE “NO, I DON’T KNOW OR YES, I KNOW” ati ndestanda masters.Atese mwai,kuti yabafye iyafipata pamupamu ukokwine.

It is reported that the organisers were trying to raise $1.5m.President Kibaki’s press secretary Isaiah Kabira said the event was to promote Mr Kibaki’s election website. Journalists were not allowed to film the event.

Instead of blogging insults day in and out, consider investing your wasted time on productive causes. Education is a factor in your equation to success.Every degree level has significant economic value to your life time.
HE ECONOMIC VALUE OF HIGHER EDUCATION
There is considerable support for the notion that the rate of return on investment in higher education is high enough to warrant the financial burden associated with pursuing a college degree. Though the earnings differential between college and high school graduates varies over time, college graduates, on average, earn more than high school graduates.
According to the Census Bureau, over an adult’s working life, high school graduates earn an average of $1.2 million; associate’s degree holders earn about $1.6 million; and bachelor’s degree holders earn about $2.1 million (Day and Newburger, 2002).
These sizeable differences in lifetime earnings put the costs of college study in realistic perspective. Most students today– about 80 percent of all students–enroll either in public 4-year colleges or in public 2-year colleges.
lifetime income increases with degrees. In addition, according to: The Benefits of Graduate Education, “The lifetime income differentials are magnified when computed over a 40-year career (from ages 25 to 64). Master’s degree recipients will earn $2.5 million in their lifetime. Lifetime earnings of holders of professional degrees, at over $4.4 million, are well above that for any other group.”
On the sad note, insults i see here irrespective of your hatred and frustration will return you negative rewards be it in the short or long-term. unparalleled benefits in Government opportunities are for confidants and mostly those from the secret service careers whose works are classified and constitutionally guaranteed for blank checks in the name ops. Learn from the Iraq war and contracts like the Blackwater and the provisionary Government. state depart personal got killings of opportunities
Admissions Director,
Are you working on commission? While some may appreciate your posts, I think you should post a website where pipo can see your ideas unlike the system of spamming a blog like this! Even your good message may be overlooked.
If you want to post a website do this www[dot]iwechikamba[dot]com

I bet the don’t teach you that at your university tefyo?
Bane, What’s this story of Prof Chirwa going for the MMD presidency and effectively Plot 1? Where is Ba Mudala ba Doc Levy?
Not to preempt the news, but preparing the mind of some of you my fellow patriots whom we have worked closely together since 1990 for the attained freedom and democratic ideals. We systematically worked with passion, professional discipline, distinction and soberness towards the new era that ended the UNIP hegemony in 1991.One of our brother and all whether friend that trained many in patriotism after 46 years in public life has officially retired from politics.
He has retired from partisan politics but reserve his right to freely comment on national matters. Consultations have been successful at all necessary levels and here now confirm with responsibility to have blessed his decision on the basis on extenuating reasons. There is life after active politics where skills and experience matters. I wish him success and encourage realizing his value in “Intergovernmental Organizations†keen in his background.
I wish it were possible for him to personally confide this to all you fellow patriots on a one to one basis. Prepare your mind for the press conference and freely support him in his non partisan role.
He remains a card carrying member but non partisan actor on national affairs. Will be open for free advisory to all that appreciate his experience and exposure to public office.
#50-69 SCAM!!!
#76, I am sure you mean spam
#50-69 Fyakunya – its got nothing to do with HIV/AIDs, you crap!!
I think this Prof. is an opportunitist, we shall see if the old madalas will allow it. He will run away like Sata did from MMD. Chirwa is not a politician but a educator he must start by being Ward council so that we can see how he can perform at this lower level and if we are satified then can we consider him for District Commissioner. There after he will have experience of leadership and governace. The next stage will be that of provincial chairman of eastern province.
#79 Ba Easy mwanyanya, mulelembako bwino icisungu. Even me who doesnt it write better. Your contributions are good, but too many broken staff. Pls go back and add to your degrees english language.
#77 No my dear, I mean SCAM. I dont see how an accredited school can be using a blog to sell itself.Next he be asking people to send registration fees via western union!
#79 if you are not an opportunist then you are an imbecile. You should read a situation before you make a move. This guy has seen an opportunity.wake up.
