three-day visit to Swaziland at the invitation of Inkhosikati Make LaMbikiza.
“I was received very well by his majesty and the queen, and I felt very welcome. This is and indication of the warm relations that exist between our two countries. His majesty has even allowed Inkhosikati Make Lambikiza to come and attend the launch of CARMMZ next year,” said Mrs Banda who was accompanied to the palace by Zambian ambassador to Mozambique Agness Ngoma. The Swazi first lady Inkhosikati Make LaMbikiza has indicated her willingness to be present when Zambia launches her version of the Campaign on Accelerated Reduction in Maternal Mortality (CARMM) early next year.
Zambian first lady Thandiwe Banda disclosed this after paying a courtesy call on King Mswati III at Lozitha palace on Wednesday night.
Mrs Banda said she would ensure that she worked towards the launch of CARMM Zambia before the end of February 2010 to enable Inkhosikati Make LaMbikiza attend the official kick-off of Zambia’s fight against maternal mortality.
Mrs Banda said King Mswati III expressed his gratitude at her attendance of Swaziland’s launch of CARMM, which is an African Union initiative aimed at scaling up the fight against maternal mortality.
She said maternal mortality had afflicted most sub-Saharan African countries, hence the need to tackle it vigorously.
Meanwhile, Mrs Banda today visited the Swazi Indigenous Products Factory in Mpaka where she was taken on a conducted tour of the facility which manufactures various products from the Marula tree.
Also known as the “home of Swazi Secrets”, the factory exports its products to five European countries and the United States of America.
Mrs Banda said she was impressed by the ingenuity of Swazi women who support their families by collecting the Marula seeds and selling to the company.
“I was impressed even more because it is the local women who collect the seed which is used for various purposes. If these women can do this, even our women in Zambia can do it,” Mrs Banda said.
She said even the baobab tree, which is found in Zambia, had multiple value and she would be glad too see some experts from Swaziland lend their expertise to Zambian people.
Welcome back First Lady. We are pleased with your good works.
Like husband like wife, hahaha.
This is nonsense what is in swaziland that his wife and husband are coming up with,was she invited to go and learn some rituals after recommendations by the husband or what?Your NGO should not start attracting other people you are wasting our money by hosting your visitors you primary school teacher.You dont even know what you are talking about!
# 3 no wonder it can rain God have mercy
Sounds like she enjoyed her stay in “the African Schweiz”. Let’s hope the trip shall be fruitful for Zambia aswell- any pictures LT?
This is not news worth…
LEVY MADE ONE FATAL MISTAKE- BEQUEATHING US WITH RB. I WILL NEVER 4GIVE FOR THIS.
# 2…u are very right..Like husband like wife..so we dont have a president and the the first lady in the country..they are all out enjoying themselves when we dont have fuel in the country…what a circus of a first family..
Mrs Banda was accompanied to the palace by Zambian ambassador to Mozambique Agness Ngoma. That lady is RB’s sister, these guys are really Globe Trotting
ok whats up with all this Mswati to/from visits and calls, etc……Mmmmmmm?????
# 3 I am so ashamed of you.
Being a primary sch. teacher has nothing to do with what she went there
for. After all she did not become a primary sch teacher without passing through school. She deserves respect . If you dislike her husband dont extend the dislike to her and evening demeaning the noble profession of a primary sch. teacher who taught you how to say may i leave the room after wetting your self several times. STOP BEING TRIVIAL
Ba#7. Leave Levy alone,It’s the Zambian Electorate who elected RB as there Presido.Levy left RB as his vice. Pliz dont make us believe yr short sighted comment.
Madam be very careful with that boy in Swaziland…or did he ‘invite’ you in?!!!
#13 ts too late.

# 14, Didnt i see the hubby to the lady in Swaziland-no shirt (in the Post Newspaper), showing the world his six pact-was that not a terrible unhealthy ONE pact-they must have made a deal,’howz about i send my lady….’ these fellows play with everything…there is more to do in Zed then traveling all over the place!

#12 PAZED. Sorry I still insist. He brought him in the lime lite.
Another state house sex scandal to soon rock the country……..Mswati is one one bagger with so many first ladies!!!!!
Ba #11 you are quite useless in your analysis because i didnt say teaching profession is a bad one read properly and understand the context.Your attack on me is unwarranted.You must be an empty tin who pops up in any storry that comes out.Tie your hands and stop shiting!

RB carefull Mutswati ali bad….u will lose her if she continues going there
Deja,but b4 him there was Lupando Mwape & Nervous Mumba all had there shortcomings.Thus y he resorted to get him.
Should we now expect to see Pictures of Topless Thandiwe in the post? I take it that is the expected dress code in M’swatis’ palace. Do you know that Kanitundila at his late age has got twins who are under the age of probably 10? (Younger than his grandchildren) Perhaps his name should be changed to Tunda Mbuzi
Kukanwa, kwati ni ba Chitala…
But this ka woman, she looks older than Mbikusita Inonge Lewanika. What could be the reason?
What is this obsession with Mswati – Swingers?
But she was not dressed as at the reed dance or like hubby?
welcome back first lady and welldone with te good news thats how tow countries must work.i like the way they welcomed you.may god be with zambians.
#21, Great research papers. They’ll bring sanity and morality to our Motherland. Send me your physical address and I’ll have some materials delivered to your doorstep by – what? Zamtel? No, that’s a foregn firm now. Zampost, provided UBZ has room for mail near the driver’s seat, close to the boiled monkey nuts.
We need some investigative reporting to see what is going on with this Swaziland obsession. This guy can’t be trusted.
Could someone tell The First Lady that Queens are not “His Majesty”, unless they were gay, in which case King Mswati would have them castrated?
At # 32, the word was equivalent to “the opposite of one who likes women.” Zambian censorship at its worst!
Remember when RB went to Swaziland and posed for a pic in Traditional clothes? Topless RB??
Next it will be topless pics of Thandy circulating in newspapers,
I can’t wait for that. hahahaaaa…..
@ # 26
Tutemwa tu ma dala, thats the reason.
Play with the old and u’ll soon look like an oldie yourself.

#27 for sure ma swingers, they introduced Thandi to it.
Yaba…awe mwebantu katwipusheko. What is there in Swatziland for the whole family to be going there? Is it that there is good Ntwenus??? Ala tukomfwako…this is how Vera Chiluba also stared with her late boy friend. Naleka bane !!!!!!!!
I can now confirm that Rupiah Banda and his young wife are suffering from a severe form of worm infestation called pinworm infection. This worm scientifically called Enterobius vermicularis makes the victim irritable,temperamental and inability to sit in one place. So they are always walking about and moving around. Now being a former peasant farmer used to riding donkey carts, he can not resist the temptation of jumping on an executive jet even if just to go for a nyama choma party in Burundi. There is another party in Swaziland, he sends the wife.. This is typical of all African despots, from rugs to power…..
Oh know am told by reliable sources that she went to consult king Mswati about V.i.a.g.r.a on behalf of her husband. Danm

#43 a king with so many wives
Who gives a damn! Just don’t parade yourself topless before children and young boys like your goofy husband did. Come 2011 you will have to vacate state house, you shameful failures.
hang on a minute, is this wife swap at presidential level.
Mwati umuziba bwino Mswati? Aha Tinzambverako uko!
King Mswati, a.k.a Makhosetive Dlamini, and James Banda went to the same school at Waterford Kamhlaba in Swaziland. Their familieis know each other from way back. Thandiwe should not be talking about relationships between the countries but between the two families. James’s mum, Stanley Makulu’s sister, was particularly close to the Ndhlovukazi in Swaziland. TWILABEPWA BANE.
# 49 walsoma the banda family tree
The most hard working 1st lady Zambia ever had was Vera. HOPE FOUNDATION was the a big drive for her and she went all over Zambia and helped the poor while FTJ was busy pocketing ama $$$
21 NA 41 YOU CAN GET ALL THE INFORMATION FROM http://WWW.CIRCUS PA ZED. COM WISH YOU GUYS THE BEST. FOR YOUR OWN INFORMATION THE SITE IS MAINTAINED BY RB MIND BROWERS
Think King has real herbs to remain happy thought out the night. A playfull RB becoming a president at his age needs alot to be done to remain happy and more make use of the pick girls now minister of Education.Hahhhhhhhhhhhhhaahahhahahahahhahahahahahahah
At least LT is keeping people bursy and reduce on the BP cases as more and more are reliving there hunger on the web site. Bring more gossi. we chart. What
Stop sucking up to King Mswati, sincve when did Swaziland become more powerful than other African countries? RB and Wife , create good relations with people who are more resourceful, countries that will give you better ideas than picking seeds, how much are you going mto make from that
? Talk about real invetsments and move on to build relations with Industrialised nations and people with such things as oil instead of going to do traditional dances with the Mswatis, iam so sick and tired of having ‘amafontini’ in State house. WHen are we going to have a first lady or let alone a president who is so intelligent, has great charisma and understands why they are in the office? Thanks to late Mwanawasa for giving us RB who was planting milisi and then moved to state house in the midst of
eduacted and well spoken Zambians. These leaders are so scared of having a Vice President who will Challenge them and outshine them instead they get bootlickers who will always say ‘Yes’ to anything.
Therefore Mrs President , Thandiwe, i request that you find meaningful things to do than to go and copy from your friends who are equally a struggling nation. If you want to go and visit these so called ‘kings’ with i don’t know how many wives, go on personal grounds. Obviously these wives of the Swazi King are no intellectuals given that they are willing to be in a polygamist relationship, so not sure the woman you were with is wife number what? However please whatever ideas you bring from there do not start embrassing polygamy. Men i love Easterners, not so clever..
# 7 spot on Levy created this mess, he might be gone or whatever, but that does not make him right. He made a Mistake just like CHiluba made a mistake to give us Levy. Of which he paid the price dearly and probably regretted. Zambians must stop this mess by refusing bribes, you are bringing shame to the country because the leaders we are getting can not even compete on the world stage, look at their behaviour at the UN recently. This generation should accept that they need to let go of politics, their politics are old fashioned so not helping the country move forward
Lets legalise exchanging presidents wives and maybe this can reduce too much travelling using tax payers money. Mswati is as dangerous as his collegue we cannot trust both of them neither can we trust FTJ when RB is out.
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!… Way to go #41
# 3 Crusher.
One wonders at level of thinking. Whats wrong with being a primary school teacher. You are so dull talk about issues . If you dont have anything to write pliz dont expose your stupidity and foolishness on the net. You are just jealous of her. Look at how ignorant you are you are not aware that she has a diploma in teaching and just recently she got an advanced diploma in I.T. Be real im not a supporter of her husband but i apreciate her achievements and what she does. I wonder what type of a character you are . be positive you the people taking our country backwards because of kalijo. Now i thought she was going to undress like her husband when he went to swaziland but youi acan see that she is sharp. Properly dressed. keep it up Thandi. I m so proud of you.
Just wasting our taxpayers money. Why have these two clowns travelling in two different directions ?
