same old folks,expecting different results.
I wish title was “Eric Silwamba is new presidential Affairs minister, taking over from Freedom who is now Political Advisor “.
Unfortunately these PF have no tompwe.
Board chairman has no salary, just to let you know.
Game over. Recycled nonsenses
[email protected]
Although the perks for chairman is not called as a salary, the money is good. The get good allowances better than a salary. It is a comfortable position especially for state owned enterprises. Whether they make profit or not. As long as the meet corporate governance of having a board, all goes for them.
Never heard of him, I am 27
Thanks

I honestly thought Eric Silwamba was more qualified than than a UNZA bachelor’s at Law degree
awe mwandi lets keep on dancing kakuluwele kakuluwele..what else can we do..the choir master Edgar Lungu seem to be enjoying the kakuluwele song.
Mushota you should buy “blogging filters” or best start by Googling, checking LinkedIn, Zambia Reports (KK’S Grandson Scoops Eric Silwamba’s Daughter) etc. At the moment I will avoid saying you are lazy. Seriously never heard of Eric Silwamba. Ba PHD, research is supposed to be second nature, then what is your speciality. Tell us it was a joke, then you shall be given. Others wise it reflects badly on your lecture/s and the the institution that rendered your PHD.
MUSHOTA KNOWS MORE ABOUT THE KARDASHIANS
SMALL WONDER SHE CAN’T SPELL AND IS GENERALLY ILLITERATE
@Mushota you are too junior to even polish his shoes! He grew up in the komboni like you Mushota but has excelled better than you. Sadly his elder brother died in a very sad and unfortunate circumstances! He frowned in Kariba while fishing. He has had his ups and downs but like someone here said, same people same results!
He drowned in Kariba while fishing.
Bringing Silwamba back to the mines he actively help dismantle as chief advocate for FTJ is an insult to all Copperbelt breed Generation X.
We are all still very nostalgic about what his irks did and the kind of devastation his pro-privatization push brought to the one time crown jewel of Africa.
The Copperbelt region was one of the most industrialized part of Africa. In fact airplanes leaving South Africa at night to Europe used to fly over the Copperbelt because after Johannesburg night lights, the only others you would see were the well lit 8 cities of the Copperbelt.
From Kalulushi via Chililabombwe with Ndola and Kitwe slightly to your right while Mufulira and Chingola was slightly to the left.
Captains would remind passengers that the next lights they would see would be…

Captains would remind passengers that the next lights they would see would be as they approach Morocco to the left and Tunisia to the right towards decent into Europe.
But Abena Eric na FTJ destroyed all that. Ebo mwa bwesha??? Today flight from Johannesburg at 33,000 at night Kasane is more light than the Copperbelt.
Anyway since he already been appointed, his number one job is to find a private public partner to start iron and steel production. A lot ore in Liverpool (Luapula).
No country has ever industrialized without steel. We are in a hurry!
Heaven help us all …
BR wabufi sana. Ati From Kalulushi via Chililabombwe with Ndola and Kitwe slightly to your right while Mufulira and Chingola was slightly to the left.
From kalulushi via Chililabombwe? Where are you going? Have you ever stayed on the copperbelt?
LOL HE HAS NO SPECIALISATION, NOMASTERS DEGREE. IYO PA ZED LOL
@ B R Mumba, Sr
“…Captains would remind passengers that the next lights they would see would be as they approach Morocco to the left and Tunisia to the right towards decent into Europe…”
1. Your general knowledge of geography is equivalent to the rest of your 5tupidity.
The distance between Morocco and Tunisia (straight line) is +/- 968km at ground level (there is Algeria between);
2. In old times planes cannot fly above 20.000 -23.000 feet because there is LOW OXYGEN; and
3. As to your historical knowledge of aviation in Africa, it is like your brain, 100% CRAP!!!
Old aviation route from South Africa was following EASTERN side of Africa to Cairo and then across Mediterranean Sea to Europe.
To day you did show who you are in reality, just another uneducated big…
To day you did show who you are in reality, just another uneducated big mouth pretending to be intellectual. Sort of male equivalent to Mushota!!!
Yaba … Abena Ashley fimo fimo & Abena UNTRUTH!!!
First of all, point of correction, it was not Kalulushi via Chililabombwe but Chambishi. I meant to correct last night. So, yes that’s correct because I flew over those cities on British Caledonia from Johannesburg in 1988 to London just before it ceased operations and taken over by British Airways.
Let’s start with cabin pressure, yes the Boeing 747 – Jumbo Jet was able to fly at that altitude because it already came equipped and my particular flight 30 years ago, we ranged between 33,000 and 35,000 cruising altitude.
Now back to geography, yes we flew from Johannesburg over Kalulushi leaving the Copperbelt through Chambishi. And yes, I grew up right there in Kitwe and my dad was Chief Accountant for Blackwood Hodge (Z) Limited…
Continued…
And yes, I grew up right there in Kitwe and my dad was Chief Accountant for Blackwood Hodge (Z) Limited.
There were only two suppliers for mining equipment on the Copperbelt back then, it was Mazembe Catapillar and Blackwood Hodge, an American Heavy Equipment supplier such as Terex, etc. They also had a branch office in the UK.
Now I want you to open Google maps and you will see that exact route. Blow it starting from Johannesburg/Pretoria and draw a line to London. You are going to see that exact flight path. And yes, before the fly by wire technology was invented by NASA, planes only flew on latitudes and longitudes.
But DC-10s and Boeing 747s which British Caledonia was flying on the Lusaka to London nonstop DC-10 and Johannesburg to London nonstop (Boeing…
Continued…
But DC-10s and Boeing 747s which British Caledonia was flying on the Lusaka to London nonstop DC-10 and Johannesburg to London nonstop (Boeing 747) and vice versa sometimes, didn’t need to follow the eastern sea board to get to Europe as early as the late 1970s. That’s another fact!!!
And yes at 33,000 feet you can see up to 1,500 miles apart both sides in clear skies with a 20-20 vision (Opticians can back me up on that) and so you could actually see Morocco on the left and Tunisia on the right. Too bad you guys probably never had my kind of childhood so fyonse mwa fishibile kubukulu, I understand.
So, you had no same experiences as some us had, that too I understand but to try and score points for nothing is the highest level of stup1dity anyone should aspire for…

So, you had no same experiences as some us had, that too I understand but to try and score points for nothing is the highest level of stup1dity anyone should aspire for.
And since you didn’t experience what I did and you never flew British Caledonia from Johannesburg to London go research for yourselves and see if what I wrote above is not true!!
By the way, I never blog anything except if it’s true and/or I have empirical evidence to back me up. So, there you have it … go ahead and prove me wrong.
I rest my case …
Who on Earth wants to argue with uneducated bigot and the village fool who from 33.000 feet can see 1,500 miles?
Young mongrel puppy, I was crew member for 11 years on BA 001;2;3;4 which was cruising between 50.000 and 55.000 feet at Mach 2.0 and retired with more than 6,000 hours on the type.
Do you uneducated imbecile understand that due to the curvature of Earth you cannot see 1,500 miles straight line? What are you, grade five failure in geometry?
PLEASE STOP CRAPPING.
Instead, do yourself a BIG favor, SHUT-UP your 5tupid effing arse
No bad a choice; you mean ZCCM-IH has had no Board since 2014? And such a strategic institution was being DIRECTED ILLEGALLY by XYZ + that Puis Kasolo the late Micheal Chilufya Sata’s Cousin?
State-Counsel Eric Silwamba, must guard against signing anything to cover-up 2014 – March 2018, this maybe a trap for you SC.
CAUTION: PF/MMD is in top gear trying to search and/or head-hunt who takes over as presidential candidate in 2021, should ECL be ruled ineligible or crushed via the PF/UPND Impeachment Process, watch the space!
They are saying “…..kuli Lungu twasamikeko fye imishingo yaba Sata….”
@UNTRUTH … there you go again. Because you can’t substantiate facts you lie some more. BA001 at 55,000 feet was the Concorde JFK to LON at Mach 2.0.
British Airways didn’t have a single Zambian on that crew and if you were really an educated guy you wouldn’t dare go there. I had more geometry and trigonometry by the time I finished G12 than your entire life my friend. I was in the Pure Sciences intake destined for greatness!!!
An Astrophysics major who changed to Accounting and Investment Banking for personal reasons. You as a crew member ain’t anything close to me. The highest trained member on that plane was a flight engineer, even him was 5 notches behind me, you id10t!!!

I don’t need to prove anything to you and stop hiding behind a pseudonym. Give me your real name and my office in the UK will do a background check on you and within 2 hours we will tell you everything about yourself and prove you were never part of the BA001 crew.
Now back to the earth’s curvature, that’s the more reason you can see that far, you cretin. The higher you fly the further the distance you see with your naked eyes. And who told you we are talking straight line here. Are you Vasco Da Gama thinking the world is flat???
It’s because of the earth’s curvature that cosmonauts from space can see half of the globe with a naked eye. How ancient are you??? First, you lie that planes could not fly that high and you come back telling us you were a crew member on…
Continued…
First, you lie that planes could not fly that high and you come back telling us you were a crew member on the Concorde.
Second, if you really flew as crew on the Concorde you would be the first to tell it’s flight path didn’t have to go straight up then across from Iceland. Why do you basta2ds lie so much???
Here are some facts for you:
1. BA001 was the transatlantic flight between JFK – New York and London Gatwick. Wheels up to wheels down you took almost 2 hours and 50 minutes straight shot across the Atlantic at 1,354 miles per hour top speed.
2. First flight in Concorde was on March 2, 1962; that was before Zambian Independence. British Airways never hired Zambians then as crew members!!! Oh, the next lie will be, I am not Zambian … I can almost see that…
Continued…
Oh, the next lie will be, I am not Zambian … I can almost see that one coming.
3. In 1964 when we got Independence from the UK, we only had 100 university graduates and I wasn’t even born. So, you yourself if you were born by then should have been one of the 100 graduates. Our educated folk at the time immediately went into administrative roles to speed up national development not crew members on the Concorde.
4. Last flight on BA001 was October 24, 2003 and if that was your retiring part for 11 years on that route then you must have started in 1992. At which case you’re not too smart because if you’re really educated you wouldn’t end up as mere crew.
5. You couldn’t possibly have worked 11 years straight on the Concorde because it was British Airways policy to…

5. You couldn’t possibly have worked 11 years straight on the Concorde because it was British Airways policy to rotate staff who worked on Mach 2.0 speed for health reasons so that’s another lie.
Get out of here you nothing for nothing showboat. In Texas we used to call your kind “All hat and no cattle guys”. And suppose I was a villager, what would be wrong with that. And if I wasn’t educated too what business of yours would that be.
A very shallow dimwit you’re … wanting to find your identity in class and all the other nonsense. In my case, money doesn’t make me!!! I make the money, class doesn’t make me, I make the class.
Education doesn’t make me, I make the education and fame doesn’t make me, I make the fame; cars don’t make me I make the cars … houses…
Continued…
Education doesn’t make me, I make the education and fame doesn’t make me, I make the fame; cars don’t make me I make the cars … houses don’t make I make the houses.
All of the above I have and what do you have? Nothing but a foul mouth. So, give me your full names and we will uncover you once and for all … stop hiding.
Do me a favor!!! If you are going to Major In Lying, grow you brain a little from that of a cockroach it currently is … with an enlarged brain, you might just have a little bit of a chance when dealing with fully developed brains like mine …
What a bitter f000l you are. What I don’t understand is why you would put yourself through all these lie just so can score points. Nice try you dimwit cretin, try something else!
Heaven help us all…
!mbecile, READ what I said instead of CRAPPING
Your office in London? Which one? Zambian High Commission? In which case, change that piss smelling carpet in the High Commissioners office.
First flight in the right seat in 1983, last flight 1994 in the left seat. NO I am NOT ZAMBIAN (Thanks to God, who wants to have anything in common with uneducated crapper like you?). You are forgetting that I call you mongrel PUPPY? Can you think !MBECILE? PUPPY?
By the way, on BA flights LHR/JFK/LHR, according to you, crew always had sight of land?
YOU ARE BIG MOUTH !MBECILE WITH PEA_SIZE CRAP INSTEAD OF BRAIN!!!
So, now from TRUTH to Just asking!!!! I knew it and when you read one of my last blog still under moderation you will get it.
For starters, you are not educated enough, secondly you are nothing but a racist bigot who thinks his/her skin qualifies him or her for anything.
Finally, thanks for insults and now that I know you started as First Officer between 1983 – 1994 and ended up as Captain, LHR/JFK/LHR on BA001,2,3,4 we will still get to know your true identity.
And you educated???? Not in a million years, you have no capacity to handle sophisticated algorithms of the highest complex thought processes and as a Captain, you are nothing but a gloried bus driver in the air I would not hire on my G650 ER.
It will take a bit of time since we have no name but our sources will crack…

It will take a bit of time since we have no name but our sources will crack the code and find out exactly who you are. And no connection with the High Commission, by the way.
You can take my brain from the skull but I will never give you my tooth ~ good lucky in your bigotry. You lost the entire argument because you’re such a low life ~ No Data; like the Vulcan may say!!!
@Plazo. Not exactly. Eric is a smart guy and respected lawyer among and beyond his peers. He has more experience than the snap short given above. I admire the fact that he read the signs of times in 2001 and quit active politics. Not many politicians have done that. Another guy I admire is Chance Kabahe the Director of IAPRI-an agric policy research institute.
Respected? Eric? He is synonymous whit what is wrong in the Judicial system in Zambia.
Without political patronage and “old boys network” of corrupt judges Eric cannot win single case.
UTTERLY CORRUPT PARASITE
I KNOW THE MAN FROM CHILDHOOD. HE GREW UP IN KX IN NDOLA. HE LIVED THERE UNTIL HE WAS APPOINTED DEPUTY MINISTER IN THE CHILUBA GOVERNMENT. HE IS ENEPT AND INCOMPETENT. HE IS NOT A BRILLIANT LAWYER. I WOULD NOT HIRE HIM TO REPRESENT ME IN COURT.
So this guy just has a basic degree in Law from UNZA yet very expensive. What has he been doing all this time? Drinking I guess!
Congrats Eric, I don’t know if you got my letter for a case I would like you to take up pro bono. I will send correspondence again
Don’t let us down like the rest of them! Remember, we the Zambians keep the records.
I’ve now well and truelly lost hope with this govt, how on earth do you bring the likes of MMD’s Eric Silwamba a former personal friend and closest advisor to the most corrupt President Zambia has ever had in the form of FTJ.
Out of 10 Zambians that are well informed on national issues I can assure you 9 will not be happy with this appointment.
Heaven help us! We are a lost cause!
What year is this?
APOLOGIES!!
JAY JAY HAS BEEN APPOINTED MOST COMPETENT-KNOW -IT-ALL MAN OF ZAMBIA
JUST WAITING FOR HIS CV
They served their time and took a bow while the audience was still clapping. They were part of the Chiluba new deal government and we’re part and parcel of Chiluba’s political filth, and today the same have been endowed with more prominence and power. That’s Zambia for you.
Eric Silwamba played it smart by quitting politics prior to Mwanawasa’s coming….these were the Chiluba boys together with Peter Machungwa, Katele Kalumba and the late Golden Mandandi…I even wonder how that 2billion tribunal ended cz I was young by then…How could Paul Tembo get killed the night before testifying…only God knows..
These people have no shame ..i tell you!!
Another plunderer ….Lord have mercy our nation.
wow another alcoholic, lungu needs and mate
Ooooh Eric Silwamba. Where is Tiyonse Kabwe? At-least l know where Lungu is, after making a terrible mistake of resigning to stand as MP for Lusaka central under MMD ticket. Only to end as MMD secretary under RB, then deleted from the scene permanently. Indeed, ba Eric help repair what you did to ZCCM especially for the people of Luanshya.
Congratulations
Uhm 4 years without a Board Chairman??? No wonder MCS blood nephew and CEO was dreaming of building cement factories to compete with Dangote….Please remember the last Board Chair was an Executive Chair he drew a salary and was entitled to a 4×4 VX car so give the same to ES. However do fire the CEO get someone with more corporate experience ZCCM IH is an investment vehicle and not a consumption outlet as it has been reduced to now….who are the Board Members??
Another kabwalala…he store with Frederick now stealing with Koswe
Congratulations! I have been recycling HH bottles in Namwala!
I am sure you know the real Paradise Kawarara! Flea Manson!
ERIC AT ZCCM-IH
