President, Rupiah Banda, is expected to arrive in Addis Ababa tomorrow to attend the twelfth Ordinary Session of the Summit of the African Union Heads of State and Government.
Foreign Affairs Minister Kabinga Pande who confirmed to ZANIS here said the President will be accompanied by First Lady Thandiwe and other government officials.
Mr. Pande said a busy schedule awaits Mr. Banda with the first call of duty prior to the commencement of the summit being a meeting of the Great Lakes Region which will focus at the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, DRC.
He said on the first day of the Heads of State and Government summit of the African Union, President Banda and his counterparts will dedicate the whole day to discussing the possibility of forming a United States of Africa government.
Mr. Pande said the issue of the budget of the AU will also rank highly on the agenda of the AU summit where Zambia has expressed concern on the utilization of the AU budget.
He said First Lady Thandiwe has been invited by the African Union to participate in programmes for the Organization of African First Ladies against HIV/AIDS, OAFLA.
Mr. Pande said the summit to be held under the theme “Infrastructure Development in Africa”, is of particular importance to Zambia because Zambia is in a hurry to develop.
He said infrastructure such as roads and bridges are key to the development efforts of government.
On the issue of Mauritania of which Zambia is the current Chair of the Peace and Security Committee of the African Union, Mr. Pande said the AU has facilitated that the political situation in that country be discussed.
Mr. Pande said the African Union strongly feels that coups should not be entertained as such acts are things of the past which are denting Africa’s growing democratic dispensation.
And Zambia’s Ambassador to Ethiopia Patrick Sinyinza said Ambassadors of the AU members states had prior to the on-going Council of Ministers meeting held a meeting at ambassadorial level where a number of key issues and recommendations were made to the meeting of ministers.
Mr. Sinyinza said borders concerns, issues of integration, peace and stability and the issue of international displacements were highlighted.
The 17th ordinary session of the Permanent Representative Committee (PRC) of the African Union (AU) began here on Monday, ahead of the 12th heads of state and government summit, with the theme: “Infrastructure development in Africa.”
Financial issues that dominated the debate of the committee, which comprises African Ambassadors accredited to the AU.
The meeting’s agenda focused on budgetary constraints of the AU Commission as well as on specialised institutions (African Parliament, African Court of Human and People’s Rights, the Commission of Human and People’s Rights).
Besides, the African financial and monetary integration is on the agenda of the committee.
In this regard, the relations between the AU Commission on alternative funding sources for the Union as well as the African Stock Exchange and the African Monetary Fund were discussed thoroughly about 10 days after the meeting in Addis Ababa of the extraordinary conference of the African finance ministers on these issues.
Desertification control was also addressed during this two-day meeting, with Ambassadors being urged to examine the 2008-2010 draft Action Plan under the Great Green Wall Initiative for the Sahara and the Sahel initiated in Senegal by President Abdoulaye Wade.
African women and the issue of gender equality were high on the agenda of the meeting of the committee, alongside the review of the summary of national reports on the implementation of the African Union’s Solemn Declaration on gender equality in Africa.

Rupiah will take time to meet his people the Chinese. Even the wife has a tattoo on her bum written “MADE IN CHINA”.

Does this man know how his office even looks? Good cause though this time.

Where is Lady Chiza? I am ready to offer tutorials l-)
I hope she dresses like a first lady should dress.
Even the first lady has a tattoo on her bum written “MADE IN CHINA”.

If Zambia’s political landscape were the setting of a movie, what would it be called? My guess is: it would probably be titled: The Apocalypse Forever. RB b-) plays the role of proprietor, producer, director and main actor all rolled into one.
Yaba. Twa sebana. Is Thandi ready to attend such important meetings. I hope she wont be made to read anything….pantu. I think she should first attend local functions where she’ll be made to speak and mingle. Exposure is important. Its not just about being called fimo fimo

Is he going there for the benefit of the country or his pocket as usual?????
OAU,AU and now USA! Explains the trip to Libya.
good for Thandiwe maybe she can now have a closer look at how her “friends” first Ladies do their style i mean dressing.
Pa Zed you are a quack!:-@ Have some respect.
15. Pumpy
How does a first lady dress like?
Please do not stereotype. Every human being is an individual soul. The body and the dressing are just houses in which the person resides. If you lived in a thatched hut, it does not mean you are less than the guy in the 15 bed mansion! So the same with these things. You are looking at the outward, God looks at the heart. Judge not by feeble sense. Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but the woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
Lady Chiza
you have such a creative mind.rather a free flowing one.think of a movie and i will produce it for you.Iam sure it will be an instant hit

In Apocalyse Forever, despite all the sound and fury, Thandiwe plays what in the performing arts would be called a cameo role — making ‘important’ appearances, like the AU one. George Kunda is merely a marionette obeying the dictates of his puppeteer!!!

Thandiwe please enjoy nivaboma.
we are not getting any feedback from RB trips.It appears RB is jst enjoying moving up and down without informing the people about the importannce of such outings.This man need to focus before he becomes a typical laughing stock and must always be accompained by journnalist
Rashid hello
#33 VOTE RIGGER. Do you realise just how important the position of FIRST LADY is? Nobody is trying to pull Thandie down. As a matter of fact, we’re trying to help the young lady.
It is very, very important for the first lady to be exposed. The minute her husband took oath, her dressing should have changed. Maureen scored 1. Thats because she was exposed. Show me a picture where she was in rags. Thats why even at her husbands funeral she was glowing.
To be continued. I’m going to eat. I’m hungry

As I want of cutting costs, we need to stop this idea of having all
ministers, permanent secretaries and directors going to the airport each time the President is travelling. I dont mind those cadres going to see their President.
Its not fair to cut spending for the poor ZAMBIANS when govt can not lead by example. Its not necessary for govt to come to a standstill and cause congestion on Great East Road.
I can approximate about K50 Million being spent on fuel each time the President travels. Let us learn from other countries such US, Britain and South Africa.

Leave my brother alone dont you know that I will be the chief best man pa wedding in future.
I’m back. #29 VOTE RIGGER. when you were rigging you should have thought about these things. Infact Thandi should have advised the husband that she was not ready to take up the title. First Lady is just as important as the President. It tells alot. Imagine her attending functions for First Ladies or Mrs Obama…….imwee. At Pres Obama’s inauguration, everyone talked about Mrs Obama’s outfit. Not Obama’s suit. Maureen did it so well because of her education and the will to represent mother Zambia. Just because Thandi is married to an old man shouldn’t put her down.
#48 Lusaka
#60 Ka Princes. Exactly. Tu mac powder, designer perfumes etc. Makes you want to face the world head
So ba Lady Chiza, what did you eat ku matebeto?
84. The fixation with the political kingdom has turned out to be a grand delusion, as the sorry state of Zambia can attest. Instead of bringing prosperity and peace, Zambian politics has become a factory of tomorrow’s demented demons, manufactured from today’s saints
United States of Africa don’t make me laugh. As if…
Your temper hhas kept everyone wondering ,I did not mean to annoy you but seek the truth.Apparently I have not been the first one to question this, Maybe lets try to do some behaviour management and stop throwing mad at innocent bloggers.The dude is not misoginist infact is very romantic and enjoys being wiith women most of the time.

The budget presentstion is ON! Health Sector allocation increased by 12%
I blame the Zimbabweans for their passiveness. Did we need SADC to vote KK out? Did we need SADC to stop the theiving FTJ from a third term? Action has to start internally and then external forces can only be catalytic in getting Mugabe out. If Zimbabweans think that we will kill ourselves again and yet last time we died over them, they used to treat us like crap. Tables turn, GO BOB, GO!!! As for AU, its okay, I am looking for a job there, so its okay, let the nations contribute so that my salary can be hefty.

Aaaah, Zwangendaba, good for keeping us informed to the second. I am not attacking you but just commeting on the budget as presented so far from your report.
AAAH NIMALABISI.. Education expenditure increased by 24 % after lagging behind for over 15 years now and health by 12 %. The truth is that the IMF and World Bank gave conditions to GRZ to freeze ezpenditure on the two sectors since they were non-productive a long time ago. And the GOONS masquarading as GOVT at the time listened, no arguments. Was that normal really? Those two sectors need 80 % expenditure increments not less to catch up.

Firstly, Im dissapointed with your question and comments. If the first lady doesnt buy or wear “home-made outfits”, how will tailors in Zambia contribute to the econmy? The mentality you have display is backward, SISTER! President RB Banda is trying to promote the Tourism Sector to boost the economy, how will tourists be convinced to come visit if the first lady doesnt show then what we have in culture/tradition?

We hope and trust this years budget has important allocation on the promotion of small scale Manufacturing.
Small scale manufacturing plays a huge role in the livelihoods of women and men living in poverty in developing countries.
Tens of millions of people – rural people who lack land and or adequate employment in agriculture, and urban residents who do not have formal employment – depend for at least part of their income on small scale, often home-based manufacturing and processing activities.
But poor people are also consumers of manufactured goods which are essential for their livelihoods. Hundreds of millions of farmers, for example, require tools and capital equipment for their a

for example, require tools and capital equipment for their agricultural production.Medium and large scale manufacturing is growing, especially in export-processing zones and other economic hot spots. But formal employment in these areas simply cannot absorb all the spare labour capacity.
Our hopes for development is in a vacuum if our country will continue to be prime consumers and not producers .The raw materials exports have low price elasticity of demand thus explains their price fluactions.The government can come up with small and medium sector industries in different localities or rather provide enabling enviroment for the private sector to iniate such developmental projects

WHAT HAPPENED TO VINUS IN THE LADIES SINGLES.
I WAS SO MAD AT HER.
how do you start bringing Tennis crap here when we are still discussing RB and Thandi. thanx LT
Once we reach 8presidents, we can name them properly. Or better still, Kenneth, David, Fredrick, Jacob, Titus, Patrick, Levy, and Rupiah. We will not use Bwezani as it is not English enough. Whaddya think?
#220 i dont like english names
188. continued.
#134 SISTER, you claim “We cant allow that. After all they’re using our money, so let her dress to suit the occassion. She’s young and reasonably attractive, i’m sure she’ll change. Especially if she listens to advise.”
Do you pay tax in Zambia? If Im correct using my reconnaissance systems you are somewhere in Germany.
So based on my points on #188, you are off-side for first lady Thandi must not apply/listen to wrong advice.
Let us maintain a level of pride in Zambia and being Zambian instead of imitating US and Other Citizens by giving them more money when we can promote our local industry.
CHANGE in both home-based and abroad-based Zambians’ mentality is a MUST!
#214 Baby C
CONGRATES, THE WILLIAM SISTERS ARE PEFECT WHEN THEY THEY PLAY TOGETHER, THEY ARE SIPLY THE BEST. THEY FEED OFF EACH OTHERS ENERGY.
LT can you remove the Tennis debate here.
221 These are not ordinary names. However, lets try some Zambian ones: Mabvuto, Mapenzi, Manyando, Masuzgo. Need I go no?
#leave me alone with my rashid oooo! we shall name the children for ourselves.
@185 Lady chiza’s legs
Ok, I would classify it as natural.
222 continued.
134.SISTER, to answer your question “Do you want our first lady to start wearing home-made outfits?” simply.
Having written you and all the world the above, YES, I WANT OUR ZAMBIAN FIRST-LADY TO START OR CONTNUE WEARING HOME-MADE OUTFITS!
A lot of people who are not Zambians appreciate us Zambians better when we are great in our National clothing. Some woman in South Africa saw a picture of my Mother on the computer in my previous office and was impressed to see how the Chitenge material outfit looked great on my old mum. Others asked me to buy them the material which I did on my trip to and then from home I gave them.
I hope we’ll begin to have a passion for REAL development.

I CAN NEVER GIVE MY KIDS ANY OF THOSE NAMES, I MEAN MY 8 KIDS NO WAY.
Have yourselves a great weekend, Saturday or Sabbath. On the week-start, Sunday, organise yourselves properly for a better way of doing things next week.
May you all be blessed. Until the next time, this has been Mugungulu Hamwaambwa Mwaanga.

Don’t fly off, remember we are already on the guest list and will be monitoring the happenings with keen interest. Nice weekend kumangalande uko
229 Coco
I agree with you completely. That is bad karma for the kids right from the start
Lusaka,
THESE BABIES ARE NOT FROM ZED, SO WHY GIVE THEM NAMES SUCH NAMES,
ITS LIKE CALLING AN ENGLISH BABY MWENYA OR CHIMANGA
228 Maestro you are just sad and mad. 1st lady in rags? Anyway, tongas dont even know how to dress. What do you expect.
I’ll tell you one thing, Zambian women are known to be tops where fashion is concerned. You as a man can have one shirt and 1 underpant, but for a woman, its just our nature to dress and feel good.
The first lady has to dress well for her to feel confident, and confidence is what she lacks.
Your argument is baseless tonga man. Lets talk about real issues. I can tell you obtained your degree through leakage
Its cool for baby mamas to wear chitenge marials or other traditional outfit.
Its completely offside for a Potential chick to wear Chitenge ,maybe during Matebeto or kitchen prty.
Be reminded also that Zambian culture has become so dynamic,Mabeto which was practised by just a few if not only 2 tribes has been embraced as part of almost all tribes.
Yaku! My head!!!
228. I forgot something. Even if she wears our traditional chitenge attire, it has to be presentable.
LUSAKA,
HOW IS THE WEATHER THAT SIDE,
HERE IT IS FREEZIN COLD , VERY COLD.
THE WEEKEND WILL BE WORSE, BELOW FREEZIN.
COCO,
Am a roger fedex fan,sunday i will b glued to T.V.

#235 Luapula Fish
I agree with you! Ababemba ebene ba matebeto!
Mwe bantu, mwe bantu, twapona munchende!!! Aba niba CEEBEE.
#189 Mrs Rashid Jones
I was hoping 4 the same but you know RB signed those 15% increments for all office holders (Ministers, MPs, Himself etc.). Immediately, I smelt a rat as its you and me to fund these salaries through the high taxes paid. Further, the mines are off-loading workers so few have to pay tax to fund RB, GK (George Kunda), Teta, Mul;ongoti, Kambwili’s etc. trips around the country and the globe. The world is unfair, for sure. Whats your comment, mwe bantu.
Sister
I like comment #234!!!
236 Baby C
WHATS WRONG DEAR, DO YOU NEED A MASSAGE?
You guys !! There is a new Thread!! Mwashala!! $-)$-)$-)$-)$-)$-)$-)$-)
#234. SISTER. Just before I go!
On your “228 Maestro you are just sad and mad. 1st lady in rags? Anyway, tongas dont even know how to dress. What do you expect.” I MUST ACKNOWLEDGE that Im surprised by your insults and lies upon being given REAL data as they reflect your level of thinking. Shallow and deceived!
Also, I take pride in the FACT that Im TONGA by TRIBE as Im part of a rich heritage that operates on hard work and accepting reality. You can call me anything, but based on good spending and promoting my fellow Zambians, I have made and am making POSITIVE contribution to my beloved country Zambia.
Im enjoying your comments guys.
Goodnight everyone.
My mrs Rashid Jones, teke care honey and sleep tight 😡
Maestro I’ll deal with you on Monday. Pleasant weekend
#234. SISTER, you wrote “The first lady has to dress well for her to feel confident, and confidence is what she lacks”, sad contribution. They say “kawala aziba kawala munzake and I wonder what pertains to you if you can write such useless judgement on the well mannered and taught first lady from her home, not some of characters like you who probably come from houses – structures where learning doesn’t exist.
On “Your argument is baseless tonga man. Lets talk about real issues. I can tell you obtained your degree through leakage”, as a TONGA man my arguments are well placed. REAL ISSUES that will move Zambia forward! On your opinion about my Degree(s) with leakage, do you know how difficult.
# 227, Anonymous, what have you been doing. I thought you did not pay attention to #185. Ala, these things are like magic. You can’t escape the temptations unless you bleed green blood.
#248. Maestro Hhehhehhehhe cotinued.
On your opinion about my Degree(s) with leakage, do you know how difficult UNZA gets to be? Do you know what degree programme in the whole world is the MOST DIFFICULT to study?
SISTER, all characters who are handicap mentally like you normally do not make it to the end of any UNZA programme, for your information if you failed to pass through UNZA. Ask anyone, the PHYSICS progrmme offered by the School of Natural Science at UNZA in the most difficult, but by God’s grace I managed to finish it. I left Zambia and I have studied a Degree in Astrophysics and Space Sciences. Another Degree in Space Physics. And now Im studying a Degree in Space Management.
#250. continued.
Following the above, where does leakage fit in in my Degrees and not degree?
Like I wrote above “kawalala aziba kawalala munzake”. And so, if you used leakage to get where you have reach SISTER and think that I used it too, think again. How can I continue passing in three foreign UNIVERSITIES with leakage? I am completely appalled by your self-delusion SISTER.
I only hope you didn’t reach Germany because some white man married you off so that you could have a glimpse of the developed countries. You behaviour is an epitome of such characters who think they know it all when they came from a village by throwing mad at their fellow villagers.
Have a great weekend and reflect
Hey Maestro, soon you will be reading for a degree in SUN AND MOON MANAGEMENT. Any how, congratulations, keep it up!!!!
COCO
I think so!!!
#251 Maestro Hhehhehhehhe continued.
Have a great weekend SISTER and reflect on these things I have written to you.
My greetings to your family and assure them you will come round when they ask you what is wrong with you today after I have pumped a bit of sense into your backward mind.

#252. Real Brain, thanks and we will see what will happen.
Some characters who are hostile to education do not know that there is a Bachelors Degree (say BSc in Physics), a Masters Degree (say MSc in Engineering), a Doctor of Philosophy Degree (e.g. PhD in Chemistry) and lastly a Post-Doc (in Cosmology).
Sad, but I hope the free education I am giving them will bring them to speed or light.
what a shame!
247. SISTER on “Maestro I’ll deal with you on Monday. Pleasant weekend” thanks and lets see what you will be able to do.
Over and out.

i wonder how the first lady is gonna participate. Doe she know anything abot HIV/AIDS? MM knew something about this topic.
Travelling Zambian president Ruphiah Banda is on the way again…..shamuneni bane shame!!!!!Very sad indeed, all the president does is travel and not serve the people who voted him into office.
What about the other presidents going – should they all stay at home? What is the point of the AU then?
That girl now has a passport too
How much viagra is he carrying along
Its a relief that the First Lady Bana Mpundu has accompained Mwine to Addis Ababa for AU meeting. Its not a bad idea because those carders out there over perform when seeing the Presidar Kateka Chalo in an out of the LIA. Consult Vera Plot 1 ni danger for marriages. In fact she needs exposure and I hope she does not come up with an NGO coz coys and pipo donate when your Mubabe still in office. Have a good weekend in Addis and wish I could be brought home a donkey and some leather jackets and shoes.
