Vice President Inonge Wina has donated assorted foodstuffs, clothes and household utensils valued at K12, 000 to senior chief Mweemba of the Tonga people in Sinazongwe district.
The items were handed over to the traditional leader and his family by Sinazongwe District Commissioner Protacial Mulenga in Choma yesterday.
Mr. Mulenga said the gesture was a clear indication that government was not only concerned with the welfare of the Sinazongwe arson victims but also the people of the district at large.
He has since assured the traditional leaders that government was working tirelessly to ensure that the perpetrators of arson are brought to book.
In November last year, senior chief Mweemba and two other victims suffered burns after some unknown people brunt his house at night. One victim died in hospital later.
And senior chief Mweemba and his family have thanked the Vice President for the donation.
The traditional leader said government’s efforts to improve the livelihood of vulnerable people can be seen by everyone thus its leaders should not be moved by some critics.
He has since called on Zambians to support the government and participate in development.
The chief further appealed for transport from government to ease his mobility.
Meanwhile, the chief’s wife, Mary Shamu said her family is non-partisan but will continue to work with the government of the day.
Meanwhile, Choma District Commissioner Sheena Muleya has promised to engage the district medical office to ensure the chief receives the needed medical attention from his house in Choma.
Ms. Muleya said the Patriotic Front (PF) government will not turn a deaf ear to the cries of the vulnerable people in society.
This is all they do handing out gifts instead of creating polices!!
Whatever the government does to these TONGAS it will never be appreciated as long as their god HH is not in the state house, they are very selfish people. I would suggest that the government suspends all developmental projects in the TONGA land until their god HH goes to the state house in 2046. These people don’t want to be ruled by NON TONGAS.Remember what sejani said at the burial of Mazoka- ONLY A TONGA MUST LEAD UPND, and that was what led to their god HH being installed as UPND supreme leader and now they want to see their god in the state house at all costs, ever since he came to politics he has brought no value but confusion.
Well, atheist HH is not a thief !
You FOOOL saimbwende saimbwende
Take your hatred of HH from his tribe. Gvt is NOT a party
GOOD GESTURE BUT THAT MONEY SHOULD HAVE GONE INTO THE CHOLERA FUND WHERE IT IS URGENTLY NEEDED.
iTS TOO LITTLE DONATION KA 12 PIN AND U ARE A VICE PRESIDENT , PLEASE STOP FOOLING PEOPLE
Zambian do not need donations from their leaders. They need the leaders to just do their work.
Donations are not sustainable. Zambians need good and consistent policies.
Mama, why waste your hard earned money on that ungrateful hard-core UNPDee cadre? Please next time donate to the Litunga or Chitimukulu or Gawa Undi where our votes come from.
May God give this chief more wisdom as a unifier of the nation.
