And Chongwe District Commissioner, Freza Musonda said he was happy that the sensitization on national values and principles has commenced in his district.
He added that the sensitization is timely stating that there is need for people to desist from bad behaviour.
And the national values are ubomba mwibala…….
When Ramaphosa met lungu he exploded into uncontrollable laughter, not knowing what to make of Zambia’s hypocritical leader. He knows lungu is a world renowned thief yet his govt insists on upholding high moral values which the nation hasn’t got. Corruption is endemic among the high echelons of the ruling elite but Zambians were denied Zodwa wa Bantu’s naked leg. And how about lungu inviting himself into South Africa? Ramaphosa must have been thinking Zambia has degenerated into something worse than a banana republic with the arrival of the humble thief on the political scene.
Please stop insulting citizens.
What morals are among those working at state house?
This woman is sooooo annoying…Godfrida do you practice good morals you and your fellow ministers starting with your President Lungu.
You are such a hypocrite yourself and God will punish you one day
This woman is still looking for someone to service her cobwebed engine
COULD CORRUPTION, PROMOTING CORRUPTION BY LUNGU, VIOLENCE, TRIBALISM, REGIONALISM BEING PROMOTED, POLITICAL VIOLENCE, POLITICAL KILLING AND VICES BEING PROMOTED AND COMMITTED BY PF, BE NATIONAL VALUES AND PRINCIPLES?
I have never heard Sumaili preach anything on morals involving corruption all in PF. Can you please says something about this Minister
What nasty piece of work this woman is…hypocrite vile everything…waste of taxpayers money!!
GODFRIDAH ZODWA SUMAILI AT IT AGAIN
I give it to this vile woman …she shows more leadership and passionate for her work than that lazy thing in State House who goes AWOL
The Hon Minister should shade more light on :What are Zambia’s National Core Values and Principles?
The USA and France, have them imbedded in their Constitutions.
Too much nyele Godfrida
ba minister, you’re a minister of religious and not Christianity. you represent all religions, that may include Satanism as well. so be fare and not only talk your religion.
You are a hypocrite minister …..preaching morals yet you are lead by the most unprincipled leader and his gang of thieves in state house with sargents kapoyongo and kaizer Zulu….
I have always said that a job without a clear job description let alone KPIs is the most stressful. Madam Godfridah in severely under stress, trying to justify her existence. In the ideal world such employees would quit their jobs.
A waste of space and more importantly tax payers money!
Charity begins at home, Rev. Sumaili. Before you look to correct what you see as the ills in society, you should first help correct the wrongs that your colleagues in government are doing wrong, including the president. We have not heard you utter a word about the corruption and the thieving that is going on amongst your lot in cabinet. You a hypocrite and very irrelevant – a waste of taxpayer’s money!
