Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Mutale Nalumango has prodded women in Zambia to work together and avoid pulling each other down in order for them to achieve a common goal.
Mrs. Nalumango said women were very influential in society hence the need for them to work hard and be supportive to one another.
She was speaking in Lusaka today when she officially opened a six day Zambia Union Conference of the Seventh Day Adventist Church (SDA) Women Congress dubbed ‘revival and reformation’.
She explained that God was looking for women who are revived and transformed and are ready to uplift the lives of other women.
Mrs. Nalumango advised women not to celebrate their colleagues’ failures and misfortune but to help them come out of the hardships they are facing.
And speaking earlier, President of the SDA Church Harrington Akombwa said his church values the role women play in the church and society.
Pastor Akombwa said the women congress was a triennial conference held in order to bring women together and empower them with skills and knowledge for them to contribute positively to the development of the church and the society.
He noted that women’s influence in the church and society cannot be underestimated as they are the majority and can make good contributions if empowered.
And the organizing committee member, Charity Ngondo assured that women will utilize the lessons that will be learn in order for them to be transformed into revived people.
The congress, which is being hosted by the Central Zambia Conference, has been organized to impart wisdom and knowledge in women and has attracted participants from all the nine provinces of Zambia.

Women belong to the kichen not going to places were Chiluba and company are!
Women’s station is fragmented; whilst men collectively aim to get some ‘meaningful’ work, raise a family and champion causes, women are in several groups career-wise. The most prominent is the housewife, who, having been married, ‘retires’ to the blissful challenge of supporting her spouse and raising any offspring. These do make up a good population of those who will usually support men over their women folk. Then you have the career-woman who would even sacrifice marriage to get ahead. These form a minority because of the uphill battles they endure to get there. These will usually support fellow women in order to enrich the group. Then you have those who stand by men while pursuing a career; they usually snitch on the men’s strategies and support fellow women well. so on, so…
