This is according to the programme released by the Southern Province administration.

The two Presidents will join Chief Mukuni, government and MMD officials in commemorating the Mukuni Ngombe Lwiindi at Simukale shrine.

President Banda will later deliver a speech at the ceremony, which takes place a day after the Lwiindi Gonde ceremony of the Tonga people of Monze district.

  1. Does it come as a surprise to people that Dr L. Sondashi (PHD Warwick, same UNZA as Chiluba) wants to go to state house?

  2. So RB and Kiktwete flew to Livingstone then went to Monze. Did they travel by road from LStone to Monze? I really want to know this because it can only mean the Livingstone- Pemba road has been repaired!! Or did they do a quick cover-up job. That road has been a source of despair for may years. Each time I traveled on that stretch I had to replace at least one tire. On one trip it cost me a windscreen due to the craters in had. If it still has not been repaired, I hope Rb was embarrassed to travel on it with Kikwete and hopefully something will be done about it now.

  3. at marcus,
    The state of our roads are terrible. I was asked why our roads had so many pot holes by a group of students and I had to lie to them that we had a Meteorite shower.

  4. RBB means Reptile Biting Beef as this man is not only carnivorous but also does not have a skin of a mammal but that of a Reptiles or Amphibian. No wonder he is trotting all over looking for fresh meat each time. The knee operation is a direct result over eating proteins resulting in excess amino acids and fat. Will he last till 2011? May be??

  5. No wonder Sondashi want to enjoy in State house too panthu ya Nemo traveling like there’s no tomoro paka ma goodo/ makuufi/ma knees yaka beende
