First Lady Esther Lungu has arrived in Mongu District of Western Province ahead of a 20 day outreach programme.

The plane carrying the First Lady touched down at Mongu Airport at about 11:50hrs and was accompanied by Western Province Minister Poniso Njeulu, Community Development Mother and Child Health Deputy Minister Josephine Limata, and Southern Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu.

Upon arrival at the Airport the First Lady was treated to some traditional music from the local dance troupe.

Addressing the people that received her, Mrs Lungu said she is interested in seeing that women’s lives are uplifted.

Mrs Lungu said she will try her best to ensure that the welfare of women is improved through Women Clubs.

Speaking earlier Western Province Minister Poniso Njeulu said the people of Western Province are not tribal.

Mr. Njeulu said people in his area believe in the one Zambia one Nation philosophy.

He further said that he is happy that government has given relief maize to the people of Western Province which has since been distributed.

According to a programme obtained from the Western Provincial Administration, the First Lady will among other projects visit Lilato orphanage, Sefula school for the blind, Nalolo health Centre and nine women clubs from different districts of the Province.

    • I like Ba Ester Lungu, but I always wonder why she had to take Edgar. But Edgar takwata umwenso. Ba Ester, teti mba fwaye just for shear respect.
      Ati amenso pamo….

  1. Am I correct to assume that plane was filled with a large entourage? As long as it’s not my tax kwachas footing the bill here I’m fine.

  2. Who is that short man in the third picture who looks like kafupi at that time when he was sitting in Kaunda’s jail after he had organized that strike by Union workers?

  3. Poniso who is tribal? Are you suffering from some complex?
    Why are you proud of relief food when that region, if properly managed, can produce enough to feed itself.

  4. Its very rare if any to read in the news that the first lady or vice president has gone to luapula. Nowadays its just western province and one is left with the suspicion that these politicians are trying had to be politically good (bride) with people of Barotse land.

  5. They are trying to be nice with the barotse pipo because of that agreement kaunda abrogated. But won’t work because the barotse pipo are awake
