SOUTHERN Province Minister Nathaniel Mubukwanu says the newly constructed provincial administration offices will be handed to government this month end.

Following the upgrading of Choma into a provincial capital government embarked on the construction of provincial administration offices and housing units for government head of departments and other workers.

Mr Mubukwanu said works on the six storey building was almost complete and the contractor was finalising the works.

“There is tremendous progress and the contractor will this month end hand the facility to government,” Mr Mubukwanu said.

He said the Patriotic Front (PF) has delivered to the people of the province and the government workers would be housed at the new premises.

He said the province has received more than a fair share of infrastructure developments as compared to the other provinces.

He paid tribute to President Edgar Lungu who despite not receiving more votes in Southern province still embarked on various development projects.

Some of the projects that the government has embarked on in the province were the Bottom road, construction of the district Hospital, construction of the Harry Mwaanga Nkumbula International Airport Terminal.

“The projects that have been undertaken in the province are too many and can’t itemise them,” he said.

He said President Lungu had a clear age over his opponents in the August 11, elections because he has demonstrated good leadership principals.

“President Lungu is a gifted leader and that has made have a clear age over his opponents. As he is a natural leader and his biggest strengthen is strengthen I am really honoured to work under him,” he said.

  1. MUBUKWANU DON’T POLITICIZE THIS CONSTRUCTION OR ELSE YOU WILL BE RENDERED USELESS. JUST TELL US ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS, THAT’S ALL. NOT FOR YOU TO START PRAISING LUNGU, WHAT FOR? IT IS OUR MONEY WHICH WAS USED TO BUILD THAT STRUCTURE WHILE LUNGU AND HIS MINIONS STILL POCKET A LOT MORE!

    • Absolutely wasting time and public resources on these nega nega zealots. They will burn all these next week during their schemed Armageddon project. Tribalism in this hinterland takes precedence over equitable development. Take public resources to Zambians where its valued, treasured and needed. Once nega nega always nega nega in mind and thinking.

    • Why shouldn’t govt build anything in southern province; are they using PF money or tax payers’ money? Kanshi when will pf carders start to understand democracy! Dull tribalists

    • You just a useless PF Cadre..!

      PF doesn’t make money. Its Public funds generated across the country. Southern Province is an Economic Giant in this country.

      One cannot afford to neglect the province economically.

      Lets differ politically not economically else Zambia will be torn apart in near future.

      You will die with hate for nothing.

    • @2 Kci that is why even UPND called Sata, “Chimbwi No Plan” and Lungu “Clueless” bcoz they neglected their strongholds thinking Westerners and Southerners could warm up to them only to realise the hatred these people have for PF in Jan’15 bye election!!But even after that PF has not changed its approach! Look at Luapula… up to now (5 years) they cannot finish tarring 70km of pedicle road and yet PF gets over 80% of the Luapula vote! They have not tarred the Kashikishi – Lunchinda Road a mere 115 km but they started the bottom and Niko roads (including some we don’t know) in the province where they were already doing so much! Development should be done through out the country but a wisdom dictates that one knows where their support base is, that can influence the elections outcome!

  2. that ka useless building..atasde..its so small like police stinky cells.. and yaba..mulejkwata ko insoni ba mubukwanu

    • What was there in Choma before 2011? Learn to appreciate, i concede the building is not the best in the world but it is better than the provincial office in Lusaka.

    • You are a worse PF minion who doesn’t APPRECIATE the Economic Contribution Southern Province makes to this
      Country.

      Anyhow, I don’t expect anything wise from a hopeless PF Cadre surviving on handouts like you.!

  3. RB built roads and schools in northern province but you still voted him out in favour of that dead tribalist. Get a life; its not money from your pocket, most of you are not even tax payers smh

    • Which roads did RB build in the northern part of Zambia? How i wished you had used the GNR and saw for yourself the neglect that was there.

    • @ 10 Chrissy,please do not talk in abstract! This article has mentioned some of the roads and buildings that PF is working on and has also said that they are too numerous to mention all! So could you tell us which roads RB even Mwanawasa had constructed in Northern and even Luapula and Muchinga provinces when they were in power? Name the road and the main districts those roads have connected!

  4. They are talking about southern province Chrissy , you are so backward, your mind is full of hatred for people of one tribe your hatred will kill you if you don’t deal with it.

  5. FOR THE AUTHOR :The author of this article said President Lungu had a clear age over his opponents in the August 11 and repeated that President Lungu is a gifted leader and that has made him have a clear age over his opponents. The use of the word age is not appropriate in this sentence, next time when you are referring to someone having an advantage over another, use the word edge, not age.

  6. Should have left the capitol in Livingstone all the offices are already built and this money that was wasted in Choma could have been used for schools , hospitals ect, another example of PF not having a clue.

  7. What comment by 15! Yaba! yaaa…just as the Brazilians should have left the capital in Rio and the Nigerians in Lagos and the Malawian capital should still be in Zomba. The Tanzanians should never have built Dodoma?GREAT minds plan ahead. Yes, many years ahead.

  8. Good words boMubukwani. No one can do any development in government without using tax payer’s money. Even those expected to form the next government shall surely use tax payer’s money. Mwana wamuyako akakonza wakonza. Asafuna aleke.
