The National Science and Technology Council -NSTC- says phase one of the clinical trials of the Sondashi formula have been concluded.
NSTC Chief Executive Officer Alfred Sumani says the clinical trials that included testing the safety of the components of the medicine and side effects have been concluded, with very good results.
Dr. Sumani says Minister of Higher Education Nkandu Luo and her Health counterpart, Chitalu Chilufya, will in the next few weeks announce the beginning of phase two to test the medicine on actual HIV positive patients.
He was speaking at a joint media briefing ahead of the Global Research Council Africa Regional Meeting in Livingstone.
Meanwhile Malawi National Commission for Science and technology Director General, Anthony Muyepa, has assured farmers in the sub-Saharan Africa region that army worms have been brought under control.
Dr. Muyepa has however advised that the region needs to be alert by having the necessary infrastructure and researchers to combat any outbreaks which he links to climate change.
And NSTC Board Chairperson, Henry Musenge, says the regional meeting will focus on developing capacity for Zambian researchers by interacting with researchers from other countries that are more experienced and have the state of art equipment.
Dr. Musenge has also urged the media to play a pivotal role in disseminating information about science and technology to rekindle the interest in the public.
That fake medicine doesn’t work. Stop cheating people.
Over 15 years testing, it just shows you the inefficiency levels in the country. Dr Sondashi has played his part but the government agencies as usual in deep slumber. Here is something that can save lives if it works out well but people are busy with politics, people are busy looking at 2021.

ZAMBIAN MINISTER (NKANDU LUO) CALLS ON CITIZENS TO MAKE USE OF WITCHCRAFT AND SATANISM FOR THE COUNTRY TO DEVELOP
People looking at sondashi for medicine can as well look for other witch doctors for the same.
Why doesn’t this man subject his so called cure the same way his LLD thesis was scrutinised? Let him patent it in the US and talk to WHO. He keeps blaming the government yet during the time of Chituwo as minister of health nothing came out of these herbs. Be careful about people claiming to have medicine or cures for AIDS.
For now stick to ARV’s!
Let’s support local industry. India sends us expired drugs and we accept, but when our own makes some effort we call him fake. What’s wrong with us.
At DJ you must understand ask, or research how much the multi national pharmaceutical industry is worth in dollars.
Firstly there is more money to be from the medicine sales than a vaccine. So old man sondashi might have been caught up in the Web of threatening their profits from the ARV sales. I don’t advertise my epilepsy herbal cure for the same reasons.
My young brother has been suffering from epilepsy for some time now. He has even quit school. How may u help. cbsan80gmail.com
Edgar Jonathan Methanol lungu is wrong with us.
Say something sensible. We’re talking about health and your only contribution is politics.
SF 2000 is the way forward. We have lost too many great minds to HIV/AIDS related diseases. The list is endless. Atleast, there is a little light at the end of the tunnel. Lets give Sondashi a chance.
I was positive a few years ago but now negative because of SF2000.
SO, health specialists, how long does it take to test of medicine or any foodstuff. The Ministry of health has taken years to do that.
If SF was a white man formula the process would have taken only a tenth of the time. Tests could have been done on unsuspecting blacks.
It takes years bwana
But this country sure how can it take 20years after the medicinal discovery to prove phases 1. So it means another 20 years for phase 2 and another 20 years for phase 3 and so on. We are only serious with politics and not with things that matters in life. If it was a white physician who had done the discovery trials could have been completed within a year. What is holding this discovery back. If we have our own scientists can we bring this thing to a conclusion please. The medicine has been proven to be effective and what else is there to prove.
You are about to make it Sondashi our Doctor. Like one has said the bazungu would not take joy in the fact that an African with kinked hair has discovered the cure. So they shall do everything in their own way to frustrate the whole program.
They will frustrate themselves . I am heading for Dr Sondashi residence just now!!!
Bring and do your experiments on me free of charge.
Zambians please let’s LEARN to appreciate our own…15years Phase 1?? Sure?? Where did this so called phase one take place that it should take such a long time??? Kikikikiki
We are slowly changing our way of thinking hence the urgency now!
Why is the government dragging its feet on this formula or is it the nichekeleko business as usual or jealousy. Let us not wait for WHO or the muzungus to give the okay, it is not their formula. Let those who want to try it do it. Unless if the government takes joy in seeing its citizens dying from AIDS and leaving orphans.
Medicines take a long time to taste.Si moba…..
If it passes the test then he will be the practical professor in Zambia
Sondashi formula and Army worms how are the two connected? Ba editor olo ni “meanwhile” there has to be some relationship between the stories married together.
IF the F 2000 has been suggested why not support it, and make it work. instead of playing a game of fake or jealous, I agree We have lost too many great minds on HIV/AIDS-related diseases. The list is surely endless.if we work together as one people with one voice and support Sondashi the government would also act quickly, and push for the tests needed, then at least we will know, and if it works we all benefit as the country .if we are not infected we are affected. come on Zambian people we were born to unity that’s what binds us together. let us not shadow each others progress. lets us all build support each other in love for mother Zambia.
