  1. Change your title to “President per diem” or name yourself explorer Livingstone.Even the challenger plane is getting metal fatigue.

  2. How does Sadist and Dictator Lungu become part of the murder solution in Lesotho after jailing HH for 127 days. SADC is a joke and a Club of Dictators. Lungu was never declared the Winner of the 2016 by Concourt so on what basis is SADC recognising him without Petition Hearing and Concourt Validation Certificate? The Kenyan Precedent has rubbished and discredited International Foreign Observers Validation of Election. Lungu is an illegitimate President who was not democratically,legally and Constitutionally elected President.SADC should take note of Election devts in Kenya. SADC Qiuet Diplomacy is shielding Dictators in the Region.

    • Stories have emerged that that the judge who overturned the elections victory was bribed. To educate you the concourt is not mandated to declare any winner. It hears the petition and make a ruling within 14 days based on the substantial evidence brought before it. Yowa tribal leader failed to bring any evidence within that 14days period and the case was closed like it never was presented there and the status cuo maintained. If you want since you’re under5s you bring that petition again in 2021.

  3. How can a dictator be a part to solve problems Lungu has locked up a lot of people in Zambia it is a police state no media freedom, freedom of expression, no respect for human rights, SADC is a useless organ please disband it now!

  4. Funds for international travels are always available but we have some pensioners who have been chasing after their meagre terminal benefits for several years in vain. Some are even jumping to their deaths from tall buildings out of desperation and frustration. God help us!

  5. UPND*** what is your problem? Shall we stop everything just to appease your egos? Foolish people you are, demagogues to say the least!

  6. Have just read the program for 72nd UNGA there is no mention of president lungu speaking on the 19th but the UNGA has been going since the 12th september,, but guess what is on the program for the 19th september.
    The official DINNER hosted by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
    Bon appetit ! Mon President

  7. 10 he can go as many times has he want as long as he is on duty and budgeted for. Hey he never caged any one only criminals and law breakers were put in jail by the Police, if it were not for ECL some should have been there as we speak, so watch-out you might be the next. Seleni babombeko.

    • The trips are unproductive waste of Zambian tax payers money.
      Jonathan is a “waster”He’s only visiting Zambia to officiate for unbudgeted building projects-money stealing tricks.
      And for your own information, we all know who’s heading to prison when out of office.
