First Lady, Thandiwe Banda, has urged stakeholders in the health sector to join hands in working towards efforts of achieving improved service delivery in the country.
Mrs. Banda said stakeholders should actively be involved in programmes aimed at improving health facilities and access to services in rural areas.
Mrs. Banda was speaking when she donated an assortment of goods and One million kwacha cash to Kakumbi Rural Health Centre in Mfuwe yesterday.
The first lady said she was aware of the many problems that Kakumbi rural health centre is facing but was optimistic that government would work hard to address the problem.
Kakumbi Health Centre Sister-In-Charge Regina Banda, said the health facility was faced with a shortage of staff due to lack of adequate accommodation in the area.
And Mrs Banda also challenged women in Kefa Village of Chief Kakumbi’s area to venture in income generating activities for them to help reduce poverty in the communities.
She donated K2 million to Kefa Womens Club towards the project of caring for orphans and the elderly in the community.
At the same occasion, Kefa Village Headman, asked government to help the community engage in viable tourism activities for their livelihood.

Sweet siteen…thats good girl. But be ware of the drivers they are after you. And dont be in a habit flashing brown envelops remember FJT. Just work hard to show RB how he should work.
LT shani ko ka picture ka ba First Lady kabili, we like to see beautiful things on this blogg.:d
🙁 Batampako ifyakulanda landa! 8-|
Anyway … ni bakateka. Wait a minute …:-? she’s talekd sense!!! That’s our sweetheart!!!
:xYawama ba LT, darn!–you even have emoticons! yay
Donating a total of K3m a first lady is a shame…I wonder how much she)))this pipo r very greedy
Thats very good mukashana,continue with the hard work(1 million)
I like your move first Lady. Mama I can see you have a heart for the people, ala keep on amazing us. We Will support you all the way. I mean me and Cutey.
Slow but sure,mama Thadi you are coming up very well.
It is amazing how first ladies quickly graduate to expert advisers of the nation immediately they move to plot one. Thandiwe Banda is not to be left out. She is already an expert adviser from her timid status. 😮
Where does this money for donations come from.Why can’t it be part of the CDF which can be given as loans to Zambian investors who can generate more income,jobs and more productive income generating ventures.This thing of dishing out donations by the Govt should be discouraged,what is needed is proper investments in these public and social facilities by the Govt so that they are properly maintained.Are these donations part of the annual budget,if so we as Zambians need to rethink so that this money can be channeled elsewhere.We need to advocate for personal tax refunds so that individual Zambians can be motivated to donate to charity and can claim deductions on their taxes. God bless Zambia
This is so achaic! First ladies sholud find other ways of being of use to society than dishing petty cash! What is K1 or 2 million? Peanuts relative to the challenges that these institutions have to contend with day to day!!!!!!
Martworld Nice guy.walikwisa boyi?did you also go to Mfuwe? Missed you so much.Happy new year!Inga tawaupa upe nomba.
12. New Zambia.
Just 3 Million Kwacha ya kusokoneza. How do you know it just came from her pocket. If she had given 300 Million kwacha then you can say all what you have said.
WAT CAN THIS LADY MRS. NYAMA SOYA TELL US? ATA…
TIZAMUCHITA KUIPA!!!!
Happy New Year Sarah, Matworld (welcome back!),Chewe & all you other guys. Hope you all make serious resolutions. I am curious to know some of them. Anyways, enjoy yourselves wherever you are!
Ala kwena Cutey inga amona fye ati Thandiwe pa blogg katwishi lelo.Ala munwina red wine.The other one has already known.Mulantekunya guys.
They are already looting! That’s how Kafupi started out as well. It’s called “slush fund”. Next thing will be Thandiwe Banda Hope Foundation for Community Initiative (TBHF-CI). :d
Akaoso! Is that the change that came back from Mfuwe?
Nine Chale. Happy New Year as well.

You go thandie. But why were you mute when you were under maureen?anyway its good ridance since you ve your voice. Greetings to the real baby (rb)
Pinkly. where you drinking Fanta last nite.
If it is coming from her personal money well and good,does she get a salary/allowance if so how much.If it is not from her personal money then that is an issue,if everyone was getting K3M from the Govt coffers for these donations then the money will finish and the Govt will be saying there is no money.Zambia has a lot of money it is just missapropriated.Every Kwacha needs to be accounted for and needs to be in line with the budget,the budget also needs to be scrutinized line by line.That’s why we are advocating for personal tax refunds,this is what individual Zambians need to be doing,donating to Charity so that they get Tax deductions.Govt money should be for devpt and not for donations.
A bit off topic LT but pandon me
The name Pinkly is being abused, and in my honest opinion , that could well be a GUY. Its internet this yo. To be mimicked and someone writting in the hope they are talking to a woman ‘pinkly’ is extremly naivety, please restrain from this name, that so far has come from 4 flags that i do not know…
Women are actually a waste of time, dude. When you are ready to settle down, find them.
On the other hand, the following factors are important for a woman to be attracted to you
– be moderately attractive, but that won’t matter if
– you’ve got a lot of money
– you’re in a position of power (political, organisational or otherwise…
CONT’d
– well, have lots of cash
– a car
– a job
– a place of your own
and some other things.
Women tell us they like sensitive guys who are funny, caring, and all that load of crap. Trust me, if you’ve got all the attributes you say they want, and you haven’t got one of the attributes listed of above, you’re doomed to be “just friends” with them.
In summary, if you choose to ignore all the above, women like a guy who’s confident. And one who’s capable of sweeping them off their feet too. If you can’t do this, then just forget it.
But you can always take consolation in the fact that, for every guy, there’s a girl and vice versa.
I Respect women though..
26.
I agree with you that every Kwacha needs to be accounted for but with this news article it does not say where the money came from besides I don’t think her office has started operating. Am sure it came from her pocket because its too little.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE.THIS 1ST LADY.MY A**,CAN THIS ONE WRITE OR THINK?OR DID SOMEONE DO IT FOR HER?
This year no matter what.I wil do it! Nangu pafwe nsofu kalulu.
Well as Zambians we need to be vigilant and keep on asking these questions including where the money is coming from, this is what accountability is all about.
Infected meat…thanx for your concern. But am the real pinkly. My ka laptop is giving me hell so am using my brother’s. These flags have really landed me into problems,i mean some bloggers think am fake.I Don’t blame them though. Am outta of here. Night bloggers,chewe,matworld,nine chale, and the rest 😡
Pinkly we will never know. I asked you a question but you didn’t answer. We are just being careful. The real pinkly I know only drinks fanta. We will see tomorrow, if you are the one.
PEOPLE YOU ARE FUNNY AND NEVER SIEZE TO AMAZE ME: WHEN RUPIAH WAS VOTED INTO POWER YOU WERE EAGER TO SEE HOW THANDIE WOULD WORK AS FIRST LADY ,YOU CALLED HER PRIMITIVE.NOW THE GIRL IS TRYING TO DO WHAT SHE CAN AGAIN SHE ISNT APPRECIATED ,HAD SHE DONATED 60 MILLION AGAIN YOU WOULD STILL QUESTION WHERE SHE GOT THE MONEY FROM ,REALLY PEOPLE WHAT DO WE REALLY WANT ,WHY DONT WE GIVE PEOPLE CHANCE AND A BENIFIT OF DOUBT .ASK YOURSELVES IF IT WAS YOU ,WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE ,WHO KNOWS MAYBE NOTHING AT ALL APART FROM FATTENING YOURSELVES AND FAMILY ,LETS NOT WORST TIME ON JUDGING OTHERS BUT WORK TOGETHER WITH THEM.
“First Lady, Thandiwe Banda, has urged stakeholders in the health sector to join hands in working towards efforts of achieving improved service delivery in the country.”
Who are these supposed stakeholders? I thought nurse, medical doctors and clinical officers are leaving Zambia for greener pastures due to failure by the MMD GRZ to provide normal conditions of service to them.
LT, we also need actual spoken words by this Mrs Thandiwe Banda first lady in quotes. We are tired of reading reported news about her and now need to read her own words too.
Maestro,
Congrats for your award from LT yesterday. LT said you were the most active blogger on LT.
#27-28 Infected Meat Why are you giving answers to questions that no one has raised? Most of us have no problems with women because we know how to treat them (with respect). To you they may be elusive or “a waste of time” as you put it but to me they are the best creation the Almighty ever made. Plus they make my life complete:
– I like the way the talk
– I like the way they walk
– I like the way they smile
– I like the way they smell
– I like the soft, smooth texture of their skin and the way they take good care of me. Serious!
37. Sarah Jones, thanks very much for this information though I havent seen it for myself. While thread can I find it in?
Maestro,
You can find it on LT Awards. something like that.
I think this is what she is supposed to be telling her hubby. Sometimes I wonder how these people start making these donations when they are in State House. That place must have a fountain of cash.
Bye for now everyone, Let me go and play some games on my XBOX 360.
GOOD MOVE THANDI.
40. Sarah Jones, thanks very much for I surely would have never seen that I was bestowed with a rare Award – the first one in my whole life. Indeed, it was no mean achievement and hats off to LT.
It’s not that we are against her doing good works we are just asking for accountability in terms of where those donations are coming from and we also need practical solutions which can be measured instead of speeches from her if she has decided to go public . Once someone goes public there is always scrutiny ,those are the risks she should be aware of. Zambians should not just turn a blind eye to accountability in the name of encouraging the first Lady.
why are first ladies nosey? Let them be politicians if they are to give such speeches. we need accountability and we should ve learnt from how Vera ciluba used donations for prostitution benefits.
45. New Zambia and 46. Kashimani, nice comments.
guys beniko serious…K1m is not cash you need to announce that you gave someone..more ever an institution!!!!
sister TB mwila tukana abantu…just tell umukamba RB to come up with good strategies needed to improve health sector or else stop making news..

Fair enough, i understand and like i said on the end of my rants,I respect women needless to say i ve one as well, who i couldnt have loved more
Maybe unnecessry was some of my rants , I just saw te tipsy messages and kisses being thrown on here that, are probably coming from a guy called a *pinky* or a miss pretty,
Just thought a man could be behind such a name, as has been the case on some profiles i encountered on facebook.
Should i say HN Year, and have a prosperous one there in Germany. I beg to fiffer though on the reason raised on why you love them.. but then again love is blind..PEACE
I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST GOING TO BE A FULL TIME HOUSE WIFE. :@)
A lot of people have the tendency of giving first ladies money to donate to any cause of their liking. This happens worldwide. You can rest assurred that Thandiwe is not donating Government money. As or the amount, it may seem insignificant to some but to those who received it a great change to their lives has already occurred.
At least they disclose where the money came from and they have proper systems and checks in place. what we don’t want is abuse of govt resources, the money is for development and not for donations.Please give the examples of those first ladies and i hope there are not from corrupt countries so that we do some more research .
2 million is better than nothing……..though they are thieves with her husband she is able to give away some change from a shopping venture in london to the need….i hope RB is teaching his wife some public life which is necessary especially in the times of poverty and diseases rocking the nation…..money is not the solution to african problem but coruption and lack of accountability births all these calamities going on in zambia and africa at large……
#4 nine Chale I support your demand to see our Lady when ever she is addresing the nation..
# 9 Sarah Jones gday…
We will support Thandie whenever we can.. She is getting on the right track, though Maureen is still trying to sabotage her..
Takwaba mkamfwila alashashana mu public apapene like in the other thread.. awe chakupapisha…anyway non of my business.. :-?:-w:-w[-(
Thanks for helping Zambians Mama Banda.
Keep the good work up throughout 2008!
#42, Sarah Jones..
you are giving me big shock waves… going to play on XBOX 360?, next it will be the simulator..
You would be good buddies with my son in that avenue. /:)/:)/:)*-:)>:p>:p;;)
#57, the last 2 icons were ticked/clicked erroneously….
have a continued wonderful newyear… <:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p@};-
Cutey.
You are back. Am just a great Mum, I play XBOX 360 with my son. I buy it so I get to play it. Well never mind.
Cutey what is cute about you? why dont you call your real name Joseph… what a waste
I agree 1 Million kwacha is a thousand pounds? I would give that for free if i will be publicised like that in the POST .
How old is she i hear she is nothing more than 30?
The FTJ trend is coming back. Dishing out cash. Lets renovate those health centres and provide professional medical care instead of those contributions. Hw will that money be used anyway. Its too little for any health centre improvements. Zambia needs infrastructural development and not the hand to mouth staff!!!!!!
#60, Joseph! why? am not what you think I am. that is my nick name from hubby because that is what Iam..
What is your problem man??? can I help you?.
Dont turn women into men.
@#59, Sorry Sarah Jones..
Actually to confess, I might be a bigger mum than you on this blogg, but I do not join in these activities..I wish I could.. maybe am too busy or not connected with these things…did’nt mean to offend you though if I did..sorry… [-o<[-o<[-o<^:)^^:)^
some people are desperate
People do you know that RB was born in Zimbambwe?
Let get laughter way out of yourself
Make the happy sound awake
Laughter magic and enchanting
Don’t sustain it in your soul
Let yourself go into joy
May it help forever
People from wherever
Getting circled together
Laughter can be a kind of help
A worthy enemy to distress
Rise this laughter so dear
To be heard by human ears
Make it go on around the world
Little chuckles happy giggles
So many ways of laughing
Don’t fear the others comment
Let laughter way out of yourself
Be assured laughter is magic
Open your heart to this very
Very special kind of sound
Let get laughter way out of yourself
Make the happy sound awake
wagulisa chalo with your nkote to the nigerians with your oil deal? who in his rightful mind deals with nigerians…..i pity our poor nation as we are heading back to the “katoto deals” where we remit money and the goods are never delivered …and nobody is taken to task!RB and his most trusted induna (james banda)..his son should be visited by the task force in 2011! God help us….!
Cutey. Stop aplogizing, am not mad with you. Its my birthday starting from now. Am 50yrs old! lol

I honestly will not tell the bloggers my age but I MIGHT BE some years SHY OF YOU. + short of grand kids…
On second thought if some bloggers have a glimpse of our estimated age you + me 97,(am not giving away anything here) they might learn to respect us or understand why like me nda ponta nga ba landa ifishilolelelemo.. because this blogg is for all.. old, young, undereducated, overeducated, ganja puffers etc..bonse tinachokela ku Zedi.
Happy birthday **==>:d<>:d<%%-o-+o->o=>
this ka first lady seems to be smart,i like how she’s been going about things so far.infected meat if there’s something that’s more infected than you it’s your poetry!poetry is not just putting up fancy words togther,its putting them in a way that makes sense!step your lines. **==**==**==
That is 600 dollars she gave out just imagine the first lady ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Happy new year Zed people. :x:x:x:x:x:x:x:x
the discussions continue on limbanizulu.blogspot.com
why these two are only contributing to the same province,last time it was Rupia donating in eastern, today the wife is busy dishing out some cent’s of kwacha’s to the same Ngoni’s and Tumbuka’s, dull easterners.
Ladies and Gentlemen, here is another shocker. Former First Lady Maureen Mwanawasa will be getting an honorary doctorate degree in Los Angeles,California this coming May. Why she is being honored is not because of her works at home, but rumor has it that they made huge donations to expensive and prestigious Pepperdine University before her husband died. Who is next? Thandiwe and RB? Money is being used to buy honorary doctorates while people sleep hungry in Zambia.
She finaly spoke! phew!:d/ I was geting worid.Welcome back and goodmorn.
Oh I dont know really Thandie!
well done gal,keep up the good work.People thought because you were a villager and was also young,you would not manage,prove them wrong,we are behind you.
Ona kayako!
Kamuchita former FL, Kaliye na degree.Well done.
