The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Ambassadors and High commissioners accredited to Zambia have joined the rest of the country in praying and extending their Good will messages for the quick recovery of President Mwanawasa.

The Diplomats who delivered their solidarity message to Foreign Affairs Minister, Kabinga Pande in Lusaka today included the High commissioner of Malawi, Botswana, Tanzania, Namibia, South Africa and Mozambique.

Others are from Angola, Zimbabwe and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

In delivering the solidarity message on behalf of the Diplomats, Malawian High Commissioner to Zambia, Chrissie Mughogho said the SADC region is greatly touched with the illness of Dr Mwanawasa hence they have joined the rest of Zambians in praying for his speedy recovery.

Dr Mughogho said President Mwanawasa has exhibited excellent leadership to the SADC region since he assumed office hence the region should continue praying and wishing him a speedy and quick recovery so that he comes back to continue leading Zambia and the SADC region.

And Foreign Affairs Minister, Kabinga Pande said government is greatly humbled and encouraged with the genuine prayers and good will messages it has continued to receive from Zambians and foreign friendly countries.

Mr. Pande said government is confident that God has answered the many prayers and would heal Dr Mwanawasa.

  1. Pls continue fasting and prayer God will one day hear our prayers and our presod will come home health and sound.

  2. can those who speak to God intensify thier prayers. i hear the cost of maintaining the first extended family in france is coming to 30 thousand dollars a day.

  3. Where did the SADC SG get the information that LPM was dead has anyone asked him or we do wanna know????.

  4. I once lived in Tonga land. I never new these pipo to be tribalists – they are very good pipo- only a few individuals practice tribalism just like any other tribe can do. Each one of us behave differenlty. Sometimes u find members of one family hating one another. Most of my friends are tongas, Luvales, Lundas, lozis and Kaondes. When my son went to school in Lusaka his best friends were Mudendas – and others from other places- not only Chilubi Island where I come from.
    Our generation should not talk about tribal – but capacity

  5. Ba Chuchu where have you been. Do you remember the days of MEMACO 90% of employees there where either Tonga or Lozi. Tongas almost took over ZSIC. Tongas have practiced tribalism in Zed thats why people are skeptical of their capacity to rule. HH may be smart and an able leader but we people from Eastern,NP ,CB etc we can not trust him. He will be worse than LPM. How did HH take over the raigns from Mazoka. The Tongas stood on the mountain tops and proclaimed in unison that only a Tonga can succeed Mazoka. I know mwana mubotwe was a little different probably due to the time he spent @ mungwi secondary school.

  6. DOCTOR POACHING IN AFRICA

    The report by the Joint Learning Initiative, which includes the World Health Organisation, suggests that one reason for the shortage is that rich nations poach doctors and nurses from poorer countries.

    There are more Malawian doctors in the British city of Manchester than in Malawi itself, the report said, while 550 of the 600 doctors trained in Zambia since independence have gone abroad.

    —————-
    Comment: Govt should get serious with Zambia’s health care system. They like going abroad too much but one day they’ll find the same doctors that’ll treat them abroad are from Zambia itself.

  7. Thank you very SADC envoys from the said-countries. I really appreciate your good will to H.E. Mr President Mwanawasa LP (SC, Honar. Doctor) and Zambia as a Nation.
    I am particularly happy to note that the Zimbabwean Diplomats were present too.
    Thaks also to those SADC Diplomats who did not make it to that meeting e.g. Lesotho.
    May God bless Zambia, Zimbabwe and the rest of SADC.

  8. For you to offer an effective prayer, you need to know the true condition of the patient so that you present it before God. As it is we have more doubts because we have not been given the true picture. Ukupepa ala tulepepa nomba ama updates awe they leave much to be desired. Tell us the truth so that we paray ernestly centering the true condition. Otherwise mupole ba Levy

  9. It is my prayer that l p m gets well we stil nid him .may the hand of the lord whic is not short heal our president.

  10. iwe chi number 14. what kind of insight do you need chika””. isnt what we are being told enough for you. fimatako ubukulu

  11. Northerns are thiefs that causes tribalism,they should also be reported to animal rights group for eating monkeys!.

  12. everyone is entitled to his or her comment. anyway let me not participate in some of these i dn’t know whether to call them senseless or whatever but the thng is our president is currently in hospital and arguing over what should be done will not do us any good but to pray to the almighty god to do his will. we cannot command God but ask him to do his will on our president. lets take a leaf from the woman called Tabitha in the bible,if we truly love our president lets petition God to heal our pesident instead of using the Lusaka times to trade senseless comments. i rest my case.
