The Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE) has announced 21st April 2018 as the date for the Kuomboka traditional ceremony of the Lozi Speaking people of Western province.
Speaking at a press briefing at the Kuta in Limulunga district this morning, BRE Prime Minister (Ngambela), Nyambe Mwenda said the date has been permitted and blessed by the Litunga Lubosi Imwiko 11.
Mr. Mwenda called on the people of Zambia and other parts of the world to attend the event and witness the rich cultural and tradition of the Lozis.
The Ngambela cautioned the people against wearing party regalia at the ceremony stating that no one will be allowed to do so during the ceremony.
“The traditional ceremony should not be used as a political arena for anyone” said the Ngambela.
Mr. Mwenda said the only regalia that will be allowed is the red berets commonly known as Mashushu in Silozi.
He disclosed that Kuomboka is for everyone thus no one is officially written to requesting for their attendance because all are welcome.
Mr.Mwenda said people should not heed to fake news and speculations but wait for official statement from the BRE.
The Ngambela noted that the greatness of Kuaomboka ceremony has noted only gained prominence in Zambia but worldwide as well.
And Limulunga District Commissioner Litambo Ndombo told ZANIS in an interview that the works towards the mending of the Mongu- Limulunga road was progressing well in time for the ceremony.
A check on the road works this morning found the contractor and workers on site mending the road.
Lungu must be hoping HH will attend again, so that he can charge him with treason (again).
I hope Lungu is not invited, he is that pebble in our shoes.
so they only set the date 3 weeks before the event! Lozis!
What do you mean “OUR”? Are you Lozi, what wrong has Lungu has he done to them?
Edgar can’t be a Peebles in my shoes, am free on bare foot.
Why does this matter?
Thanks

lets take advantage of mongu -kalabo road let the chap make use..than risking in makeshift boat.
Very good timing. Everyone now will be in attendance:
– Kambwili is on bail
– Edgar impeachments moved to June
– HH & GBM the millionaires can change business schedules anytime.
and everyone will were the red beret in support of UPND or what?
A non-political headline for a change.
The Tourism Board should also do more to market this great traditional ceremony internationally. What is so hard to put up a 20 seconds clip on worldwide networks like CNN International? Uganda, Kenya and South Africa have been doing it for years. Don’t tell me there’s no money for that… just organize yourselves well enough or should l come to the rescue? For my Zambia I will do it voluntarily.
You must gullible and naive if you think this is not a political spectacle.
You certainly must have forgotten what happened to Last Years’
Thanks

The event in itself is not political but was hijacked by politicians for their mileage last year. I’m neither gullible nor naive. I still see things clear.
You are right about the hijacking, I suppose my point is, some of these Politicians will turn it into exactly what they shouldn’t.
Our Political parties will sink as low as they can to steal headlines.
For them incidents such as this are perceived politically charged, although they shouldn’t.
The trouble starts with the invitations to these events and the rest..
Thanks

I hope a chronic loser is not planning to go and declare himself as Hapresident Hagain there!
What difference does it make to you as you will still write about your silly HH even if he does not attend.
It is all in your mind he never did declare himself as anything
HH for life baba
Department of HaChronic Losers.
I think this is the best time for HH to go and show “patriotism” because the president will not be there. If he wants to wait until the president goes then he has an Hagenda to make. He is not news until the president goes there!
Since the UPND Kamunyama has declared his intentions to attend even without any invitation, I hereby withdraw my intention to attend this year’s Kuomboka Ceremony.
The president of the Republic of Zambia has categorically stated that he’s not going to attend any traditional ceremonies. This is where someone wants to show how stuupid they are by embarrassing the president. Hope HH will be sworn in there.
Treason site. I will not come this year
lets embrace love to be the greatest above all, politics will come and go. Regardless of any political affiliation we belong to, love is paramount. LOVE you all and GOD love you more.
