Congrats DG, welcome lets run and reposition Zambia
I remember this guy from somewhere. I feel like commenting but I will desist. The temptation for me to comment is so strong though. I might come back ho him!
I am proud of you Perry back from the Munali Days you’ve always been a contender and not a pretender. Congrats buddy
If only will put up the same profiles for political appointments
Jay Jay. I am with you
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CEO OR ZDA has been operating without CEO? Lomba wameneuyu wafuma kuni? I am sure he paid his way off , though he looks poor anyway good luck
What does ZDA do now that we have IDC? Do we really need it?
Congrats Perry.
Not too long ago when Mapani’s predecessor, Dr. Mwiinga was removed as Director General, Dr. Sishuwa Sishuwa, a historian at UNZA, alleged that this was evidence of Tonga persecution. Now that a Tonga has been appointed to replace another Tonga, does this still constitute Tonga persecution?
ok! so this guy is from dundumwezi? no wonder the comments above aren’t so harsh.
@Facts. Dr Mwiinga was at PSPF and not ZDA
I am also wondering about the same. If it was Tembo or Chileshe it would have this koswe this koswe that. Now that it is a kin and folk we shall not hear anything of the kind.
For my knowledge is he a qualified CFA or is a designate. If he is the latter then he is abusing the designation as one is NOT to refer to it unless he is fully qualified!!!
CFA etiquette bwana!
Well done Perry!
Very good principled man. We need more of the likes of Perry to move our nation forward. Not perpetual online whingers
Congrats Perry!
