    • Nothing more beautiful than a Zambian woman … now combine that with smarts and you have a complete package! Congratulations Monique … you are the best!!! And just in case some Yahoo comes around and says I spelt Monique wrong … just go hang. I intentially spelt it as Monique and not Monica.

      Mwaumfwa!!! Thanks a trillion.

    • Monica or Monique why do we carry slave master’s names? They mean something for our slave masters but nothing for us who by carrying them just promote foreign cultural values.

  1. Well done Monica. You have proved that no matter your background, you can still make it in life.

    Its not easy to move from prost. to such levels of success.

    Congratulations!!!

  2. Java Foods? LT please elaborate on what this Java Foods is all about, this will also market Monica’s company. Well done Monica and please keep up the good work!

  3. How I wish more country men and women in Zambia can emulate her and contribute positively to the building of our nation than insulting our Government and opposition leaders and blame them for our poverty. Congrats Monica and thank you for making us proud as a country.
