  1. Congratulations your grace. The task ahead of you is quiet enormous as you have to shepherd the church and to face political intimidations from those who are resistant to change but the Christ in you will protect you from ruthless cadres and those who are drunk with power. God bless you and your brother priests.

    • I like the way he pumped some sense in the pf regime to let go of the nonsensical treason charge, which made Zambia look like North Korea.

  2. Congratulation Archbishop Mpundu. I believe you are have shown grace and maturity amid political threats and God needs you especially at this volatile time in our country.
