More Tumbukas ,Lozis or Tongas for such appointments please ,we’re tired of Bembas dominating.
Mukwiita fought for that job like no other, to extent of writing fiction book about the Almighty Lungu.
Well deserved Anthony. Congratulations.
Thanks
BB2014,2016
circus continues….SATA’s appointees replaced again…uummmmmm
If you became president, you’d be a fool not to assemble your own team in strategic positions… just reality!
that is what praise singing can do
Yaayaa. This one is really a praise singer. He fought for it.
Looks like there are only two tribes in Zambia. Really pathetic!
Because when Wilbur Simuusa was pointed to head the South Korea mission you did not see it.
what of some of us cadres that campaigned for u Mr president , u are just recycling people , bring in some from OUTSIDE the box , we have waited for too long. ANY CHANCE for me? Cos. i can see MUSHOTA promoted to TAKE OVER ANTHONY’S JOB IN SWEEDEN
Naine kuno! Iam a Zambian ala!
Thanks be to God who knows our appointments because all things happens in his will. It is write.
Boot licking works well for Anthony..
The President should also have confirmed the appointment of Paramount Chief HH of the Namwala people. Isn’t this not official yet? Didn’t his MPs move that motion when they came back for allowances?
HH’s MPs.
Mr Mr Mr…. ati gender equality?
A Mwamba in South Africa, a Mwamba in Brazil. Are short of names in this country?
I do not agree that there shouls be more appointments for Tongas, Tumbukas and Lozis. Zambia is blessed with many professionals from all tribes some of whom are more educated than those holding certain government positions. A balance from all tribes would make Lungu’s party stronger. Tribal politics does not last. We hope the next President will not follow this route. Zambia belongs to all tribes not just a few.
Zambia belongs to all tribes yes PF to the tribes in the North and east UPND to the Southern n tribes
For someone to be appointed as ambassador it means someone else has been recalled from that position. In your reporting, you should have mentioned the people recalled.
This guy writes a book about Lungu and he is rewarded with a job! Tragedy!
