UPND leadership with Nevers Mumba and Charles Milupi

United Party for National Development (UPND) President Hakainde Hichilema has attended the Bene Mukuni traditional ceremony in Livingstone.

Speaking after the traditional ceremony, Mr. Hichilema said he holds Traditional leaders across the country in high esteem.

Mr. Hichilema has since called on the nation to join hands in supporting the traditional leaders.

Mr. Hichilema also appealed to the traditional leaders to always work in unity in ensuring peace and stability in the country whenever there are challenges.

The UPND Leader further noted that whenever the country is undergoing difficult times it is imperative that traditional leaders unite to foster normalcy and not further agitate divisions among the people.

Mr. Hichilema who reaffirmed his commitment to working with the traditional leaders across the country while preaching peace and national development devoid of discrimination, stressed the need for the country to preserve its various cultural norms as they help build on what traditional leaders begun long time ago.

Mr. Hichilema also maintains that when in government, he will not interfere with traditional boundaries but more on traditional leaders installation.

And Mr. Hichilema calls on his fellow politicians to not only respect traditional leaders but also work with them amicably in the interest of the country’s oneness while emphasising that the traditional leaders when available, should as well strive to preach oneness among the people.

Mr. Hichilema has also expressed gratitude to Senior Chief Mukuni of the Bene Mukuni people for inviting him to attend this year’s traditional ceremony.

The Leader of the UPND was accompanied to the traditional ceremony by the Leader of MMD, Dr Nevers Mumba, People’s Party Leader, Mike Mulongoti, Alliance for Democracy and Development, Charles Milupi, UPND party Vice President, Dr Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba, party Secretary General, Stephen Katuka, Former First Lady Dr Maureen Mwanawasa and several other senior party officials and senior citizens.

This is contained in a statement issued by UPND leader’s Deputy secretary Brian Mwiinga.

    • Is it a ceremony for upnd or the tonga people. Why are other chiefs from other provinces not invited when these tonga chiefs are invited by other chiefdoms.

    • PF kuwayawayafye….No one stopped PF. But when PF are invited they make sure they make the traditional ceremony so political. HH was invited in the Eastern province, PF boycotted. Who cares, 2021 marks the end of PF for ever. Lungu knows it that is why he is on a looting rampage. We shall get them!

    • HOW CHEEKY.
      THIS SHOWS TOTAL DISRESPECT FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY.
      GOVERNMENT SHOULD FIX MUKUNI BY NOT PAYING WHATEVER EMOLUMENTS HE GETS. HE SHOULD ALSO NOT BE INVITED TO ANY GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONS.
      THIS IS WHY NYERERE BANNED CHIEFS.THEY SERVE NO PURPOSE IN A MODERN STATE BUT SOW AND PROMOTE TRIBALISTIC SENTIMENTS.

    • NORMALLY UPND SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO HAVE A SUPPRTER LIKE MUKUNI.
      BUT UPND ESPOUSES TRIBALISM. hh WAS CHOSEN ON THE BASIS ONLY OF TRIBE.
      GBM AND NEVERS LOOK LIKE CLOWNS.

    • You are just jealous of GBM and Mumba …..PF are too violent to be at any neutral gathering, they start first attacking the opposition then fighting amogest them selves then you hear lies from state house blaming UPND.. .

    • HH has missed a chance, they should have invited other chiefs and PF officials. As it stands out, clearly shows that this was truly a UPND Traditional Ceremony.

      And his call to work with the traditional rulers doesn’t bear any weight.

    • People worried about what HH is doing instead of consentration on what the Government of the day is running the affairs of the country. What HH is doing or mixing with will not affect your life or those of your children. Leave him alone. Let’s for once focus on the government to make sure that they properly run the state affairs. HH may never be president, but the chance we miss to make PF accountable (e.g. 42 million for firefighters) will be more devastating. Really our priorities as country men are wrong….

    • These traditional ceremonies in the Southern part of Zambia are terribly politicised. In case you are doubting this, see from the last picture the raising of the UPND symbol by the UPND cadres. At least, organisers of such events in other parts of the country advise against the use of party regalia and symbols during traditional ceremonies. Secondly, HH told traditional leaders that as long as he was in detention, no traditional ceremony should take place in Southern Province. Now that he is out of detention, he has told them to go on and organise traditional ceremonies. This is certainly not how you go about uniting the country by politicising traditional ceremonies in the manner UPND has done with its traditional ceremonies in Southern Province.

    • I wish to salute the chiefs of Northwestern Province and other provinces in Zambia other than Southern Province that they chose not to politicise their traditional ceremonies by holding them even when HH was in detention. Traditional ceremonies have always and will always be there, with or without HH and his UPND.

    • Your President Hates chief Mukuni because he said he was dreaming about him while being fed with fimofimo so how can he call such a one?

    • Republic of Southern Province. These people are politically childish…from mukuni, through inder5, hule mwanawasa to never mumba. This is one of the reasons hh will never become president of Zambia.

  1. Politics 24/7 ,chiefs ceremonies and Lungu’s welcome ceremonies at KKIA …at this rate of unproductivity Zambia will never leave its 3rd world status .

  2. This senior chief Mukuni is for no good. He is promoting political divisions in the country. It is always the government of the day which is recognized and invited on such occasions. Let’s wait and see how far this will go.

    • Recently president Lungu was in Northern Province at a traditional ceremony with Ba Shilubemba. You were all smiles and saw nothing sinister with that. Now you do because it is not president Lungu on the spotlight.

    • Traditional ceremonys should not be politicised at all. Does HH become an outsider because he is UPND? These ceromonies are for all Zambians regardless of party.

  3. Now this is the real deal people’s president. Not the dull cluessless, incompentent, and inconsequential globe trotting, vodka-worshiping, perpetually intoxicated nonentity pretending to be leader.

  4. It should’ve been the southern provincial minister officiating not an opposition leader. This makes it null and void. This is a sign of failure to recognise govt of the day and this chief must be sued for this including the one who graced the occasion. How can you call someone who is not a govt official to officiate an occasion which is govt gazetted. This is child play and madness and lack of understanding of governance systems and protocols.

    • “….governance systems and protocols…”

      Just concentrate on looting via over inflated contracts. The only protocols PF know are those of stealing.

    • Hh and mukuni have missed another opportunity to bring the people of southern province closer to other provinces…how does hh expect to get support from the minority provinces with such naked display of tribalizim?

    • You are even including God but you sound so tribal than your allegations. I have came to understand that people who call others tribal are the ones who are cruel tribalists.

  5. please let them be even in 2021 they will cry ecl is working very hard.the economy is perfoming very well.we will see who will cry again.

  6. This is no traditional ceremony with all the UPND party regalia in the form of hands which is their party symbol. Imagine the outcry if we saw a fist at Mpezeni, Lutunga or Chitimukulu or Mwata ceremonies.

    No doubt this was UPND rally and the report authored by UPND is suspect. Am sure speeches were full of anti PF political rhetoric

    • You worry more about where HH goes instead of the misuse of your resources e.g. &42 million for firefighters). Zambians (especially educated ones) are pathetic….

  7. how can we torralate that nonsence.i thought mukuni is entellegent he has proved that is the one who tells hh to be doing all that nonsence he does.

  8. Its not looking very good anyway. Lets see through the thin lines and learn one thing. What i do today tommoro it will be done to me.

  9. This can only be done if there’s another country called TONGA TONGA COW COUNTRY which boarders with Zambia where there president is HAKAIVOTELA HEKA ( HH). This is an insult to the Government. MUKUNI you are such a big fool. Keep fooling yourself that HH is your president

  10. HH is mocking government by pushing the boundaries of running a parallel government rather than be seen as an opposition. He is intentionally pushing these boundaries to justify his made up accusations of dictatorship. The Zambian people have highlighted many issues of corruption but surprisingly, none of these vuvuzelas are putting any form of pressure for answers. This confirms that the real reason why these leaders are power hungry is for selfish reasons and not in the interest of the Zambian people. We need fresh faces that carry no baggage to enter the Zambian political scene. We are tired of recycling the same old tired faces.

  11. Tribalism at its worst definition.
    Quote:”Mr. Hichilema also maintains that when in government…” I thought he said he was voted as president and that he cannot recognise Lungu as president because he was elected president already. This tribal party will haunt us.

  12. This is a pure tribalism how do you have a traditional ceremony with no government representative???. We need to teach this Mukuni a lesson

  13. Why should mukuni invite anyone from PF when pf tried to frame him for the arson attacks around the country kapoyongo and chitotela were sponsoring ?

    PF were ready to lock up mukuni on fake charges of starting fires when they were behind the fires to justify a $42 million fire truck tender and justify the incarceration of HH only things were getting hot internationally and PF could not be seen to be locking up more people.

    • @Spaka like lilo
      Understand where you are coming from, but don’t you think HH word of unity and supportive of traditional leaders would have had much value, had those words demonstrated by having invited other chiefs and a few government officials at the provincial level? Doesn’t it occur to you or give an impression that this looks like a UPND rally?

    • general Kanene

      How do we know if GRZ were not invited ?
      I would rather wait for confirmation or compalint from GRZ , not the lier Sunday chanda by the way, that they were not invited ?

  14. MUKUNI is Tonga. HH is Tonga. UPND is Tonga too. For them there’s no government except UPND. I want to vomit please …….

  15. To say that tradition affairs shouldn’t be regulated by the Government will be sucidal for this nation. This is an example of how thing should not be done. Ban Mukuni forever. It was done during colonial times. This if left unchecked will divide the nation permanently.

  16. Wow! I have never seen anything or people looking so silly and ridiculous! Never even heard a traditional ceremony with that title in my life! Never seen a chief looking so ridiculous!
    Have you noticed the contrast in complexion between his face and the rest of his body, was the chief wearing a mask? Or is it the effect of sleeping in graveyards every night instead of his comfortable bedroom?
    Wow! Stu.pidity at its best!

    I hear that the real Mukuni ceremony is coming soon, complete with other traditional leaders from all parts of the country. Not this out of place rally cum non.sense!

  17. Does it mean that there was no Government official at this TC? If so, it is not good for the senior Chief (MKN1), because he does not respect the Government of the day. Maybe, the MKN 1 was donated by U.P.N.D who knows?

    • The fact lies that Lungu never won the elections no wonder all these confusions. If Lungu won clearly he would have given an ear to the petition. But indeed every one knows that lungu lost and that is the reason he didnt want to hand over power as the petition was filed.

  18. @ Spaka like lilo, surely today you can extol GBM whom you called bemba ‘monkey in the maize field, not too long ago? A corrupt tenderpreneur specialising in Zesco contracts, according to you U.PNDonkeys? True Donkeys have no morality or shame? And how do you expect the same people who have been watching you Donkeys to put under5 in state house with his fellow corrupt ‘leader’. You see, Spaka, when you catch someone doing corruption, call them “tenderpreneur” and ‘bemba monkey’ while they are in the ruling party, you have destroyed them forever. So when they come to your party you cannot possibly use them to project a good image of your party. Unless you cleanse them and apologise and admit that you were wrong, but can U.PNDonkeys ever do anyting sensible? There you are, why under5…

    • “……you remember when he was firing me, he castigated the Anti-Corruption, that ‘I am hearing what is being said, what is the Anti-Corruption doing?’ He wanted me arrested. But on these allegations, (fire truck tenders) he says ‘those who are responsible may take interest, those investigative officers may take interest!’ 

      Kambwili—mast on line.

      Good point kambwili, dyaka petro, stealing with impunity can not go on.

  19. ……You see, Spaka, when you catch someone doing corruption, call them “tenderpreneur” and ‘bemba monkey’ while they are in the ruling party, you have destroyed them forever. So when they come to your party you cannot possibly use them to project a good image of your party. Unless you cleanse them and apologise and admit that you were wrong, but can U.PNDonkeys ever do anyting sensible? There you are, why under5 will never be President in his life time!!

    • Who cares if under 5 will never be President ? Most of us only care about good governance.
      All that matters is the stealing by lungu and his gang who even go as far as starting fires around the country to justify stealing and brutality……zambians are suffering while PF officials are becoming millionaires overnight.

      IT is safe to say most of private buildings going up in Zambia belong to PF officials using stolen monies……

  20. Political suicide at it’s best you reap what you sow
    Do not be surprised when people vote on tribal lines in 2021 remember this day.

    • PF were invited but st the moment they are too busy dishing out tenders amongst them selves in connection with $1.2 billion road…

    • Zambia has been known for voting on tribal and no province is spared on that. Lets not continue persuading people to do that but lets educate people to start voting on credibility because we want development. We only have one zambia.

  21. Traditional Ceremony? Check the mode of transport. What a Shame to the Toka Leya People. I thick it was just a way of holding a Upnd rally using the name of traditional Ceremony. TAIGWILA!!!!!!!!

  22. @28.1 Spaka, have you consulted under5? The boy has clearly stated that “…when in government…”. If he and his U.PNDonkeys don’t care about becoming President as you falsely state, why do you think he has been in painful tears since last year? Why do you think that he has been so irrational since August 2016 to the extent of landing himself in Mukobeko in the mistaken belief and hallucination that he is The President?

    Come of age Spaka, under5 is crying to be President and he is unsoothable. It seems everybody including the U.PNDonkeys know this fact apart from you. My dear, umunenu under5 ifilamba tafilepwa pakafulo kalya ba Lesa ba pela aba salwa.

    • Ofcouse under 5 wants to be President, why else do you think he has been participating in presidential polls ?

      To you pf rats anyone who opposes the looting, stealing , self enrichment and rotten moral integrity of PF is a UPND.. .so be it.

      Most of us who are not UPND by default don’t care who is President as long as he is not a theif and hold the highest office in high regard worthy for our youth to emulate….

  23. @25 P and x, let’s not be tribal. I am sure tgat you mean the U.PNDonkeys? They fear me that much? Kikikikikikiki…its because I know their contradiction, their tribalism. I have studied their weaknesses so I can hit them where it hurts the most: the truth about them!
    I can’t wait for 2021 to really tear them to pieces the way we tore Mmembe and his Past newspaper for his immoral politics of contradictions and grand corruption which he tried to disguise but managed to cheat under5 only!!

    • We also know the weakness in pf ……..stealing , that is how we will expose them day and night to Zambians.. ….they can not hide the wealth they have stolen from Zambians, we can see most of it.

      The next stage of this crusade against corruption is to employ private investigators in S.A. to expose the properties and bank accounts of PF officials using stolen moneies……

    • 22 billion in a few months what kind of business is he doing? not even billionaires can have such profits. This time around it will be 50 billion worthy

  24. UPND is tribal. Let’snot be pretending. How do explain the flushing of party symbols at a tradition ceremony. I am strongly encouraging the rest of Zambia to follow their voting tribal pattern. They need to be taught a good lesson that being tribal won’t allow them to rule this nation. NEVER

    • Hey Man Zambia is a free country, why do you want to control people, heck they can flash that party symbol anywhere they please, at a ceremony, in their bedroom in their toilet…. anywhere bro.. we aren’t a dictatorship, the idea is a free country for all to do as they please as long as such actions are within reason and respect the laws of the country.

  25. You chaps on this blog really need to grow up Man, you should be disappointed in yourselves, the only people promoting division in Zambia are people that think the way 90% of you are thinking on here.

    Put this way HH is a subject of Mwine Mukuni by birth, that’s where his from, it’s only natural that he should go over there to celebrate a ceremony belonging to his forefathers, there’s really nothing wrong with that, unless one is sinister minded then they would take issue with this situation, for others we see beauty and the celebration of African culture, a strong point in Zambia’s national heritage.. guys please grow up and think less along party lines.

  26. Eye-of-Horus being tribal has nothing to do with laws of Zambia. I never heard of anyone being arrested because of being tribal. However that doesn’t make it right. Flushing of symbols at a gathering like that is signifies something seriously wrong. It’s at a traditional ceremony and not in your toilet as you put it. I hope you understand that such ceremonies are for people from all walks of life. Organizers of such ceremonies should discourage any political activities at such gatherings.

    • “…..I hope you understand that such ceremonies are for people from all walks of life…”

      Yet lungu gets people like kambwili banned from other ceremonies ???

    • Haven’t you seen ECL waving a party symbol at an official government function supposedly for all Zambians? Me I think that is wrong. However, the truth is that whenever people see a party leader of their liking they salute them with their party symbol.

  27. How childish of most of you !! Why is it so wrong for HH and others to attend this beautiful and peaceful ceremony? He is Tonga and so rightfully proud of his tradition, whether in politics or not. How do you know others were not invited and they declined? You need to focus your criticisms on the real tribalist and failing president Lungu who is never in the country when push comes to shove. Most of you are tribalists and will not admit it … you hate Tongas and are open about it …you are the ones dividing Zambia.

    • All traditional ceremonies have banned wearing and using party regalia and symbols. Only this one is unique. Traditional ceremony comprises people from different political parties but since in southern province everyone is upnd so they don’t feel like they are discriminating anyone.

  28. No. 1 – Oval Head

    Mukuni is actually not Tonga, like Musokotwane they are Toka Leya and basically speaking they are Lozi.

  29. WHAT DOES OFFICIATE MEAN?
    THE TONGA CHIEF IS SETTING UP PRECEDENCE THAT WILL REMAIN HURTING THE TONGA PEOPLE FOR MANY CENTURIES TO COME. THE VOTING BATTLE–LINES ARE ALREADY NOW DRAWN. AND LET THE MAJORITY RULE. POLITICS IS THE GAME OF NUMBERS. HE WHO WANTS THE NUMBERS LET HIM READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

  30. THE CHIEF LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE WHO DRINKS STAVUDINE ONE OF THE ARVS THAT CAUSES LIPOATROPHY. THOSE SUNKEN DIMPLES ON HIS CHEEKS ARE INDICATIVE…..

  31. Now, had Lungu also been invited and people showed disrespect in not recognising him as he is illegitimate, there will be another Treason case like what happened at Kuomboka. Therefore, its better to invite one or the other and Mukuni opted for his good old friend HH. It’s also stupid to claim Mukuni is Tonga, Toka Leyas are basically Lozi living in the area right from Livingstone to Sesheke. Besides, GBM and Mumba and Mlongoti were all there so what’s tribal about the ceremony? Mukaiseleze feela kafoo bo naminungu tuni!

  32. CHIEF MUKUNI IS SHOWING AROGANCE BECAUSE OF THE MONEY THE SUN HOTEL AND OTHER TOURISM ENTRPRISES PAY HIM PERSONALLY. HE HAS ACCUMULATED SO MUCH WEALTH THAT HE EVEN DOES NOT REGARD HIS FELLOW CHIEFS. THE ROYALTIES PAID BY SUN HOTEL TO HIM SHOULD NOT BE PAID TO HIM BUT INSTEAD SHOULD BE PAID TO THE PEOPLE BY USING THE MONEY TO CONSTUCT HOSPITALS ETC. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD SEROULSY LOOK INTO THE MATTER

  33. Tonga tribalism at play ! Instead of inviting the President ,the Chief invites an opposition leader of a tribal party to officiate. Such arrogance should come to an end and it’s high time govt acted. Even for Lwindi

  34. ECL is in New York.
    The next best People’s choice is HH.
    All where invited. When you chose stay away, you do not give a reason.
    Chief Mukuni stood firm when calling for the release of HH and other Political Leaders.
    We salute and thank you Chief Mukuni.
    GOD BLESS MOTHER ZAMBIA

  35. Hell no-does HH really think by supporting tribalism openly like this can help him win votes in other provinces?HH IS CURSED BY GOD THATS WHY HE HAS CONTINUED MAKING THE SAME TRIBAL MISTAKES SINCE 2006!!!Note,the only major reason why HH’s upnd has been losing elections since 2006 is tribalism.ITS 100% CLEAR THAT UPND IS KNOWN TO BE A REGIONAL PARTY!!instead of removing this tribal tag from upnd,HH keeps on making same mistake.THIS WAS NOT A MUKUNI CEREMONY BUT A UPND TONGA CEREMONY!!!I HAVE MET MANY ZAMBIANS FROM 6.5 PROVINCES WHO HAVE VOWED NEVER TO VOTE FOR HH AS THEY SEE HIM TO BE A GREAT TRIBALIST!!!
    Upnd only has its tribal leaders to blame for failing to win elections since 2006!!!
    ITS CLEAR THAT TRIBAL VOTING IS HERE TO STAY IN ZAMBIA DUE TO DIE HARD TRIBALISTS SUCH AS…

    • It seems some people don’t even know the meaning of tribalism. How can attending your traditional ceremony be tribalism? Anyway, I also attended this ceremony although I left early because there were too many people. To be honest, I didn’t see many UPND cadres – just a couple near their leaders. Nothing really to write home about. Everyone just went about having fun. The town of Livingstone was deserted. They were all at this Mukuni thing. It was simply a fun day out for most people. I didn’t even see HH there. There were over 35 other chiefs in attendance.

    • Instead of worrying about HH’s whereabouts and what he is doing, why not cry for the civil servants who have not been paid yet.

    • It doesnt matter whether HH will be president or not we care about accountability and good governance which PF has failed lamentably. I can even vote someone else showing credibility in terms of governance not Lungu. You who vote Lungu are pathetic tribalist because the man has nothing to offer but you still force people to recognise his presidency.

  36. Ha ha ha, look at these tribalists trying to paint others what they themseleves real are, calling UPND and HH tribalists has gone past its “Use by date”. Don’t forget what your PF supporter Skakufuswa has said, Being corrupt carries much more negative connotations than tribal. Unfortunately for you, its not just a false label but true of your blood sucker leaders, sucking blood of every Zambian regardless of tribe.

  37. @Njangwamuloti, dont cheat people. The Tokas are basically Tongas. Most of their language is akin to Tonga. But truth be told, actually traditionally the Tongas looked down upon Tokas as a substandatd form of Tonga people.
    I may add that in Toka Leya there is no such ceremony as Bene Mukuni. You can attest to this by looking at the features and ask one or two questions: what is the theme of the ceremony? None. What are the salient features? None. Riding in the limousine? Never heard of! Are they celebrating a harvest or historical event? No.
    So the ceremony was actually a home coming ceremony for under5. In short it was a political rally for U.PNDonkeys.

  38. Yes, welcome back our great HH. We could have suspended this ceremony indefinitely if Lunga had kept you in remand prison. You are our sole tonga god and no one is above you. The irreplaceable one and the sole pillar of UPND. The rest of UPND members cannot do without you. We don’t mind how many times you lose or how many times they still our victory, until one day you become the first tonga president.Sata, MHSRP, failed several times and did not give up.We don’t care about government so called policies because we have harvested enough to feed ourselves till you become the president.We will give you 100% votes from SP this time. Thanks for officiating the most famous and popular ceremony in Zambia.

  39. It is not about ECL but about any Government official. Has anyone head any GVT. official being mentioned at this ceremony? Does it mean that it was only for the opposition? that is what is wrong with this ceremony, you don’t side line the Government.

  40. You sadists. You are jst sad for the fact that yr headless leader was not invited. When it’s lungu invited you don’t complain…and now tht it’s HH you want to politicize it. Leave President HH alone. Traditional leaders have a ryt to invite any leader of their choice. Being dull…Am sure you will charge him with treason again.

  41. Tongas are very selfish and greedy..FULL STOP. How do you not invite the government of the day! And you think we will give you this great nation to govern us…my foot.
    Zambians look at the fruits of these people.

  42. TIME FOR CARTEL MEMBERS TO SOCIALISE
    It is not surprising to see staunch members of the CARTEL socialise at Chief Mukuni’s Traditional Ceremony in Livingstone. The presence of HH, GBM, Milupi, Nevers Mumba, Mike Mulongoti and Maureen Mwanawasa is a revelation of how the rich can openly insult the POOR Zambians – and the Toka-Leya in particular. Since when did the display of a LIMOSINE become part of Zambian tradition? Indeed it is time for the Cartel and tribalists to socialise.

    As for Maureen Mwanawasa, her secret membership to the CARTEL was recently exposed when she featured Mutembo Nchito at President Mwanawasa Memorial in Lusaka. There is some truth as revealed in Sakala’s book, “A PRESIDENT BETRAYED”.

  43. The events that took place at Chief Mukuni’s traditional ceremony of the Toka-Leya people call for serious review of the DIALOGUE which had been mooted by the Catholic Church and the Office of the Commonwealth Secretary General between HH and President Lungu. Where do the rest of Zambians stand in the face of tribalism that has been so vigorously exhibited by HH and Chief Mukuni? It is obvious that HH and his business partner have no human feelings nor any thread of conscience on matters of national importance in Zambia.

  44. HH and his minions attended the ceremony for prestige. And who tells him that he will ever rule this country? He is even saying and i quote~Mr. Hichilema also maintains that when in government, he will not interfere with traditional boundaries but more on traditional leaders installation.
    Which year will that be? 2041???? Go on and dream by thatv time there will be New leaders and new partys…whooooooooooooooo! Mulemekesha ka ceremony naufwe tukakwata …….A ceremony without other traditional leaders……..

  45. A TRUE AND WISE CHIEF WILL ALWAYS BE WITH HIS SUBJECTS AND WILL ALWAYS PROTECT THEM FROM ANY ENEMY LIKE LUNGU. PRESIDENTS COME AND GO BUT CHEIFTAINSHIP STAYS FOR LIFE. BE WITH YOUR UNASHAMED LUNGU WHO IS ON YOUR NRC AS YOUR CHIEF AND I WILL ALWAYS STICK TO MY TRADITIONAL CHIEFS WHO LOVE THE PEOPLE.

  46. @senama you are a fool, for development to place in any part of the country the government of the day must work hand in hand with traditional leaders,if you have no idea of what goes on please shut up . It may not be about the president been invited…but let government officials be invited or representatives , ceremonies are go beyond politics but to turn a blind eye on the government of the today is very disheartened what message is your stupid chief sending to the rest of the nation.

  47. It is understandable for Milupi, Mike Mulongoti and Maureen Mwanawasa who don’t care on the plight of the people of Lukulu, Ndola rural and Muswishi in Kabwe rural to grace Chief Mukuni’s traditional ceremony. However, how will the people of Chinsali and Kasama feel when they see misfits such as GBM and Nevers Mumba embedding themselves in a UPND ceremony held in Livingstone? GBM and Nevers Mumba are exhibiting most FULISHI (uBUPUBA) brand of politics to the detriment of their own families.
