THE Southern Province Royal Foundation has requested Government to evacuate Chief Mwanachingwala abroad for specialist treatment.

Foundation chairperson Chief Chikanta said in Mazabuka on Sunday that Chief Mwanachingwala has been unwell for over two years and Government should consider repatriating him abroad for treatment.

He said Government should also consider sending Chief Moomba for specialist treatment as well.

Chief Chikanta and six other traditional leaders were on an outreach, visiting their counterparts who have been indisposed for some time.

Chief Naluwama of Chikankata has also been unwell.

Speaking in an interview from Mazabuka after visiting Chief Mwanachingwala, Chief Chikanta said, “We came to see their condition and wish them well.”

  1. HE lungu and PF suporters lets show love to our chiefs. Chama, Mumbi phiri and kambwili sit down and open an account where we can contribute money for our chiefs. We dont care whether they will vote us or not. lets show love where there is hatred.

    • This request goes to show that UPND MP’s are completely out of touch with the people they claim to represent. Just the other day UPND issued a statement that government should bring an end to this issue of taking people abroad for treatment……..one wonders whether they consulted the people who they represent after hearing this request from Chief Chikanta.

  2. You don’t give to get a reward. It’s government’s responsibility to give health care to its citizens. Look at the other zambians who are dying because of you people busy looting our resources and pretend to do charity. Chimbwi kambwili is a worst thief in this government.

  3. Let HH use is money send the his chief for treatment if is money has no satanic conditions,goodwill is not only for the govt but every loving zambian.in bemba we say ICHIKWANKA BACHIMWENA KUMA MPALANYA.IFI BA TONGA AKASO!

    • Does it mean all the problems people of southern province are facing are HH`s responsibilities? Is becoming rich a crime?

      Some people think as if the schools they went to are those at Mars.

    • HH is not government, it’s government’s job the care for its citizen’s welfare! Why are PF magots so dull? Everything its HH, YABA You illiterates are so irritating!

    • You Sebitwane is cursed, if you were not cursed before you are now cursed for insulting your mother. May the great eye and arm of Yahew install fear in you!

  4. Have they been taken to any Hospital ? UTH , Chikankanta or Monze Hospital? You are rushing to request BOMA to evacuate them to a foreign hospital before determining whether their ailments can be treated locally.

  5. The chief had even brightened up after seeing those women behind the first lady. These Tonga chiefs take alot of mutototo and claim to lead by example in the Tonga land of Bulls. No further comment

  6. But we have ARVs in our hospitals here. As a matter of facts, Mazabuka General hospital has good stocks of ARVs. Let His Royal Highness urgently access this medication. All people know what our chief has been suffering from. I live in Mazabuka myself and i do access ARVs from there Just like his colleague, Chief Mkune of the Talker-Layer people. You can actually tell from how flappy his chicks are.

  7. You people can comment, even when someone is sick you can still use this kind of language. Let’s move away from this hatred please. Let’s love one another. If someone is infected we are also affected, let love lead!

  8. But non of our chiefs have been evacuated before just recently a chief from Luapula died quietly nobody said send him to RSA, what is so special about these tonga chiefs? Are they so special that they want to be teated like kings? If God has called him even if he goes to RSA he will still die (no evil wishes). We are trying to cut costs here so let him be treated locally.

  9. SORRY ITS NOT JUST TAKING ANYONE BCOS HE OR SHE HAS BEEN SICK FOR SOMETIME THERE IS A REFERAL SYSTEM IN ZED.ONE HAS TO MOVE FROM CLINIC TO DISTRICT LEVEL ONE TO GENERAL,TO CENTRAL AND LAST UTH WHERE A RECOMMENDATION IS MADE TO EVACUATE A PATIENT.
    I M SURE MOST OF THESE WILL BE TREATED. RENMEMBER STIGMA IS DESEASE NUMBER ONE TO BE TREATED AT CLINIC LEVEL OR ~
    ON OTHER SIDE,ITS SAD THAT AREA MPS CAN IGNORE OUR FATHERS WHO HAVE HELPED US BE WHERE WE ARE.
    ITS A SHAME THEY MAKE MEANINGLESS DEMANDS WHICH DONT HELP THERE PIPO.
    HH MUNANTIYISHI NSONI WE THOUGHT THIS IS JUST IN NWP EVEN IN YO AREA.
