This Mwanawasa, is she really a UPND member? Why is has she recognized ECL as president when her president has not done so?
- The Real Olivia Pope March 31, 2017 At 2:20 pm
  
  @Dontcare; Because Mrs Mwanawasa is a grown woman who actually thinks for herself. And for the record HH is the perpetual losing candidate of UPND. He is no ones president.

  I didn’t see former zawa manhandle easterners during c’wala ceremony for the animal skins, why are barotse citizens been harassed for the ivory, when we all know every lozi should have one on his or her hand, let them celebrate kuomboka in peace, they just want to make bangles for the ceremony.

  Minister Kampamba is indecently dressed for the occasion. That attire is appropriate for an evening function, cocktail or something. Ubufontinti pa Zed

  First ladies look after their stomachs first just like all politicians.
  
  She still receives Levy’s salary & her antagonizing LAZY means Njala/Nzala/Tala/Nsala/Zala . Politics of the STOMACH my dear. Stomach comes before country.

  That’s a lot of pictures. Not even 1 for opposition political parties who were so busy last week.
Shadreck biemba March 31, 2017 At 2:38 pm

SORRY, HH IS PRESIDENT OF TONGAS ONLY. THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO SEE SENSE IN ALL THE NONSENSE HE CHURNS.
Shadreck biemba March 31, 2017 At 2:41 pm

sorry i meant all the nonsense he churns out including not recognizing Edgar Lungu as president.
John Phiri March 31, 2017 At 2:57 pm

Old age has really caught up with Dr. Kaunda.
John March 31, 2017 At 3:07 pm

I always get amused when I see ECL “touring” local facilities like border posts or commissioning roads or the like – I cant imagine Theresa May or Donald Trump being shocked at smuggling …..I supposed the job descriptions are completely different.
- Kanyunka mafumo March 31, 2017 At 3:25 pm
  
  No job description for Lungu at all, he loves traveling and he mistakenly thinks traveling is work.
  He’s busy doing stuff that a local mayor or district administrator would usually be doing.
- One Zambia March 31, 2017 At 4:11 pm
  
  In case you did not know – ECL is president of Zambia, and in this part of the world things are done differently.

So what happens to the Mikula logs once confiscated? I hope once cases are disposed of the government still goes ahead and sells these logs giving the proceeds for use in policing to the authority responsible for protection of forests.
Mateo April 1, 2017 At 8:54 pm

Maureen is two faced. She can’t be trusted. It is good she has exposed herself, she is a wolf in sheep skin. Politics of the belly.
Chilyata April 4, 2017 At 3:32 am

Maureen is known for double timing – even when she was younger and working for the Co-operatives, she had a boyfriend BUT was seeing lawyer Levy Mwanawasa at the same time!! That woman cant be trusted!!
mailon April 4, 2017 At 10:06 am

The comments on Mirriam Mwanawasa just shows how low our standards have become.You mean because she supported HH she should not have attended this dinner?

Learned Colleague April 6, 2017 At 9:08 am

I totally agree @1.5. These ministers or generally government officials should be fully trained on the whole business etiquette package from how to dress, talk , table mannerism etc at official gatherings . Aba what a disgrace
Learned Colleague April 6, 2017 At 9:10 am

Makeup too should be subtle for the day and heavy in the night- mama Mulenga please get a stylist
