President Edgar Lungu is today August 26th, 2018, expected in Harare, Zimbabwe to attend the inauguration ceremony of President elect Emmerson Mmnangagwa.

President Lungu will be joined by other Heads of States from the Southern Africa Development Committee (SADC) region among others.

Zambia’s High Commissioner to Zimbabwe, Emmanuel Chenda, confirmed the development to the ZANIS in Zimbabwe yesterday.

Mr. Chenda said Zambia has a moral obligation to support Zimbabwe as the two are considered as Siamese twins because of their strong bilateral and cordial relation.

Meanwhile, High Commissioner Chenda, has praised the Zimbabwean politicians for conducting a peaceful transition.

He also praised the main political players in Zambia for the strides they have made in bringing peace in the country.

The Zimbabwean Constitutional Court dismissed the electoral petition filed by the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) faction led by Nelson Chamisa.

The July 30 presidential polls were the first ever in which President Robert Mugabe’s name was not on the ballot.

The 94-year-old Mugabe resigned after nearly 40 years in power, surrendering the Presidency to Mmnangagwa, who was his Vice President.

  1. Please proceed to leave the country sir ….. we surely won’t miss u. Another inauguration of an oppressor and modern pretentious dictatorial democrat. His soldiers killed people but I guess in Africa it acceptable to now have some sacrificial souls in an election. Because there has never been strong condemnation from SADC

    • What is wrong with this high commissioner. What does he mean by saying Zambia has a duty to support Zimbabwe. By the President going to attend the inauguration, to him is support? Why is himself stationed in Harare then? Let him come back then. There are austerity measures for God’s sake, who is gonna lead by example

    • Yaaa seriously nobody is interested or like that Zimbabwean Mnagangwa.
      But for me I don’t like that dirty scarf he wear, so disgusting. Then his voice… ok ok I stop, I start to get annoyed.

    • How much is it costing Zambians to send the lazy businessmen disguised as politicians. Next they will claim to have been given land, guess why for denying Biti asylum. Lolo, how stupid we voters are.

    • The day the lazy bum Edgar has been looking forward to has arrived….the workshy empty suit we have in State House.

    • Lazybumz will attend inaugurations of all African presidents especially where elections were fraudulent. It’s like he’s still guilty of rigging 2016 elections. Any change of govt will reopen the case & he may face jail time including the corrupt Kang-court judges.

      He’s now even started venturing to attend inaugurations of dictators in Asia (e.g. turkey).

    • Lazy Lungu has attended all inauguration ceremonies in the region and abroad …but he has never held a Press briefing nor Press conference since he was sworn-in..that’s how useless this lazy tin is….I hope that a lot of these empty tins rushing to KKIA get nabbed by RATSA speed cameras and they pay from their own pockets.

  2. Shameless , as you grow ,you realize that the world is beyond your picture.While a toddler , so much fiction is passed on by word of mouth . Remember stories of the rabbit, elephant and all… as you approach teenagehood ,Christianity sets in … Jesus becomes the answer to most of your unresolved issue. Now that you an adult, adultery becomes order of the day. You now see thin line between reality and fiction. This globe trotting will never end my brother, as long as you have a country with no agenda to develop, not Lungu, not HH, even late Cobra if brought back would do nothing. Wind of change must start from the garden. Young people should see the needy to open a new chapter, one in which every citizen crave for meritocracy. For now, aluta continua.

  3. Your Excellency, please carry abundant fraternal greetings from the people of Zambia to the people of Zimbabwe.

    If a small tri.bal clique in Zambia want to exclude themselves from these fraternal greetings, feel free to do so, you may send yours to your counterpart Chamisa. Counterpart??? No, sorry Zimbabweans, Chamisa was not a tribal candidate.

    • As long as Zimbabwe remains under a Plunder President, it will remain under a Plunder Government, and its courts ruled by Plunder Judges. The futility of investing in a plunder-nation, is that nothing will grow there, even its very trees will whither before they produce any fruit.
      Zimbabwe is perhaps the only country in the world whose president sends soldiers to shoot dead civilians and this done also in broad daylight, scare off investors, and then quickly blows millions of dollars on jet fuel to fly out to bring those investors back while screaming into their ears: ” Zimbabwe is open for business Zimbabwe is open for business!” This has been the trend since the 1st of August 2018, when Emmerson Mnangagwa and his deputy Constantino Chiwenga killed the first 6 civilians in the capital…

  4. His favorite part of the presidency.
    See how he gets mobbed at the airport on departure and arrival.
    And lets brace ourselves for some form of careless statement in one of those deadnbc airport interview.

    • Zambia is as good as not having a president as this bum is useless as they come…he lamentably failed to discipline his Press Officer Amos!!

  5. Travel well Mr. President. We love you and are enjoying your great leadership. We are wish you in 2021, where you will no doubt win by a landslide. ECL 2021!

    • He flies to KKIA with a helicopter and he is met there by his full cabinet and defence chief…doesn’t this moron not get the reason why he flies in helicopter? Its to save costs and reduce traffic…but he is doubling costs…great leader indeed.

  6. “…Meanwhile, High Commissioner Chenda, has praised the Zimbabwean politicians for conducting a peaceful transition…”

    Six dead bodies of innocent Zimbabweans murdered on the order of military junta!!!

    Just another public crap by parasitic corrupt envoy!!!

  7. There goes the corrupt theif…..2nd visit….his first visit he rushed to munangagwa even before the results were official to advice him to reject any petition so he can be the same as munangagwa , but Emerson seems too clever and saw the divisions in Zambia and was confident in his win and saw no need to hide behind 14 day technicalities , so he let the opposition go to have their day and cry in court…now he has a solid mandate unlike our corrupt theif lungu…

  8. Lazy bugger will be on his way! Any opportunity he get’s to leave the country and not do his job, he will disappear! When will people stop being afraid and come in numbers and overthrow this government? Enough s enough!

  9. It doesn’t even have to be the President to attend an inauguration. A representative can be sent at low cost. Can’t he say he is busy? Or sorry, I forget, he is never busy when not travelling.
