RB arrives in Livingstone

File: President Rupiah Banda

PRESIDENT Rupiah Banda arrived in Livingstone yesterday afternoon for a three-day working visit.
The presidential jet carrying Mr Banda, who was accompanied by First Lady Thandiwe, landed at Livingstone International Airport around 16:26 hours and the delegation proceeded to Royal Livingstone Hotel.

Mr Banda was welcomed by special assistant to the president for Press and public relations Dickson Jere, Southern Province Minister Elijah Muchima, Southern Province Permanent Secretary Gladys Kristafor, Livingstone District Commissioner Francis Chika, Government officials and MMD members.

He is today expected to officiate at the 2011 Zambia Air Force (ZAF) commissioning parade where officer cadets would graduate after one year of intensive training.

Among the graduating officers would be females, in line with the policy of President Banda’s Government which ensures women were provided with equal opportunities of competing with their male counterparts.

The ZAF academy in Livingstone has been producing quality officers for more than 40 years and many former students have risen to be high-ranking officers in Zambia’s military establishment.
After officiating at the ZAF commissioning parade, President Banda would address a public rally at Maramba Stadium.

The presidential delegation is expected to return to Lusaka after concluding business.
