President Michael Sata has made a mini reshuffle at deputy minister level.

President Sata reassigned Deputy Minister for Youth and Sports John Kafuna as Western province minister to replace Mr. Nathaniel Mubukwanu
who has since been transferred to the Ministry of Youth and Sports as Deputy Minister.

Deputy Minister of Youth and Sport Rayford Mbulu has been transferred to the Ministry of Information, Broadcasting and Labour in the same capacity.

President Sata expressed confidence that the transferred deputy ministers will satisfy the functions of their offices.

This is contained in a statement made available to ZANIS by President Sata’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations George
Chellah.

Meanwhile, President Sata has expressed sadness at the death of senior chief Kalimankonde of the Unga people of Samfya district in Luapula
province.

In his message of condolences to Northern Province minister, President Sata noted that the late chief has been a key instrument in promoting
development among the people of Samfya district.

The President conveyed his deepest sympathies to the royal family on behalf of the people of Zambia.

“Kindly convey on behalf of the People and Government of Zambia and indeed on my own behalf, heartfelt condolences and sympathies to the royal family and the people of Samfya district,” the President said in his message of condolence to Luapula province minister.

He said the death of chief Kalimankonde will be deeply felt by the people of Zambia.

The late senior chief Kalimankonde ascended to the throne on September 21, 1991.

  1. Seems RE-alignment,RE-assignment,Re-deployment,RE-shuffling,RE-appointment,Re-luctant,Re-posses has become the order of the day.Next it will be RE-marry a HOMO

  2. Just how many reshuffles is this serpent going to conjure? This is failure in all it’s forms, the man dreams of nothing but cabinet reshuffles and saturation of government with Northern Alliance Janjaweeds through tribally bigoted appointments. I cannot see any difference between Zambia, this Zambia od Satan, with Botha’s Bantustans of KwaZulu, Transkei, or Bophutatswana. Worse for us is that even stinking Katangese thugs like Kambwili are now going by the title Honorable so and so! We are are failed state, period. No wonder the Lozis want to but out of this circus because with a government like Satan’s one, who needs One Zambia One Nation?

    • Its people like u who give Satan power by giving him place in all situations! And its in people like you where Satan dwells and can excercise power. A Christian will never say Satan has done this and that! Give the man a break and see it runs. Africans u like to take things personally. And nobody stops u from consenting in the next presidential elections. Lets see how u will perform when u are the next president! Look at the bright side of things this man is a peaceful man and appreciate that we can all live in peace under him! Cowards like u need people like Mugabe and Idi Amin and the lot! The international world is praising him as óne of the best leaders for Africa!

  3. hahaha ati i have experience in government. Man of action…  no wonder the bishop said this guy was not fit for grade 7 night school at some school in Mpika

  4. So, what will happen to Florrie who is also deputy minister at Information? The ministry already looks top-heavy, Shamenda, Kambwili, Florrie and now Mbulu. At defence, there is GBM, Panji and now the re-elected Lungu. Well, i can only say like that song ” Friendzy,every day am re-shuffeling, shuffeling, shuffeling…”

  5. Pls somebody tell MCS that he ashould not expect miracles from mortals. Nobody delivers in 90 days. He should give his men time to learn the robes. Bola panshi mudala! Patience pays in the long run

  6. Next should be Kambwili to be transferred to statehouse and bring in Willie Nsada to take over from Kambwili. More potential leaders of Kabovas Kaponyas type FYANI at KMB and Masala Bus station awaiting appointments.

  7. #13 you smoke too much… Just sounds like Kambwili is not supposed to be anything, he is totally unemployable and unrepairable.

  8. Yayayayayayayayaya ifi fisela nomba ka. Only 4 months in power but several reshuffles. What next..when are getting money in our pockets and when are youths going to get jobs?, when are pensioners going to be paid? and when is the gvt going to start talking about development plans?

  9. No 15, the are lucky that MMD even left a development plan on the table otherwise ni Chimbwi no plan.  Ati i have experience in government and yet the guy was just a passenger.

  10. Interesting. Not seen any development from where MMD left. Maybe someone can update me since I have been in and out of Zed.

  11. Mr President,now you beginning to embarass us as Zambians.Almost six months in office and you still fluffing around,it aint cool at all.Where are the jobs you promised those youths in Matero,Kamuchanga,Buchi,Masala,Chifubu,etc…come on,the simple thing for now is you start doing roads and other labour intesive projects.Please stop wasting everybody’s time!!!

  12. Deputy Ministers are IRRELEVANT and as such, a TRULY SERIOUS government that wants to cut costs in the true true sense must abolish this position.  They CANNOT even act in the absence of their respective Ministers!!  What are they REALLY there for??Imagine how much is spent on their allowances, fuel, rent, etc ……. We will never get out of this mess we are in.  I thought MCS would be BRAVE enough to terminate their existence!!! Alas, I was so wrong!!!!

  13. I cant see the connection between Samfya and Northern Province BA LT, has Samfya been re – aligned from Luapula Province?

  14. #18 Mukobocho, fo your information there has been a lot of development since PF came took over from MMD. For instance (1) there is now unprecedented tribalism and nepotism (2) Street vending is in full force (3) there are ten provinces (4) new districts have been created (5) u-turns on appointments , and (6) reshuffles every now and then.

    • Im not an envious rsoepn, but after seeing all that beautiful wax I must admit the little green eyed devil is making itself known! I make candles, and one of the best candle making waxes is beeswax, but you will already know this Do you sell yours or use it for yourselves? If you sold it, I’d seriously be tempted to buy some but I expect the customs thieves would make it prohibitively expensive to import here. Anyways, great video .keep em coming !

  15. but this president just 4months and he has already broken the record of presidential appointments in zambia. does he even no that he needs to create the 5.5 million jobs sichinga promised. does he even take time to think about jobless in the country. he made so much noise about youth unemployment. he is the true under 5 president. 2 year down the line we will look like zimbabwe.
