The University of Zambia has officially launched the United States of America UNZA Alumni Relations Foundation in Washington DC. The Government of the District of Columbia through the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Corporations Division issued the Certificate of Registration signed by Superintendent of Corporation Patricia Grays.
America UNZA Alumni chairperson Professor Kenneth Mwenda and Head of Alumni Relations and Advancement, Kennedy Msusa presented the Certificate to Zambia’s Ambassador to the U.S., His Excellency Dr. Ngosa Simbyakula, S.C., at the Embassy of Zambia in Washington D.C.
And Dr. Simbyakula has commended the UNZA U.S.A Alumni for their resourcefulness in successfully registering the foundation in the United States. He said the Alumni are an important vehicle that most universities in the western world use to raise funds for research, scholarship and infrastructure development.
“In fact we are way behind; nonetheless, it is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So this is a very significant step in formalizing the registration of the Alumni foundation so that those former UNZA students and other well-wishers in the USA can use this as a vehicle in supporting tertiary education in Zambia. As an Embassy we will do all we can to support this exercise. Well done!” said Dr. Simbyakula who is also an Alumnus of UNZA.
Meanwhile, Prof. Mwenda thanked the Embassy for facilitating the registration process of the association and appealed to former UNZA students in the U.S.A to come on board and render support to the institution.
And Mr Msusa who just returned from China to establish a similar Alumni chapter said UNZA Alumni body had five strategic directions that focus on strengthening its governance structures.
He said UNZA Vice Chancellor Professor Luke Evuta Mumba is also delighted for partnering with the Embassy of Zambia in Washington to build capacity for the higher learning institution in Zambia.
Mr. Msusa noted that there is need for strong governance systems within the Alumni framework to help push its agenda of research, scholarship and infrastructure development at the University of Zambia.
“This initiative exactly points to achieving these goals. The friends of the University of Zambia sit between individuals and corporate sector who will like to see how we are governed and build confidence in our activities,” Mr Msusa said.

I got 21 points in 5 subjects and If i wanted to go UNZa and do Natural sciences which I was actually selected but I rejected their offer because of the chaos of UNZA
It is just an ancient University that I have little time for
I now hold a PhD in the united Kingdom, meaning I made the right choice
Thanks

well done sweets x
Mushota, your number of points explains the very dull comments you make on this platform. I wont laught at your comments any more.
You wanted ‘to do Natural Science’? What did you want to do with Natural Science? S£X?
Yaba ba mushota. Today you have actually told us how dull you really are. 21 points in 5 subjects? What about in 6 subjects? Then it was over 30 points. And it extra lains why you could not make it to ANY university in zambia. Let me tell you to make to a Z university (the 2 that is) took the cream from grade 12. Even 25 years ago natural science took max 10 points. The rest of the courses, even education, would close by 18 points, in 6 subjects. Not 21 in 5 subjects. So the trash like you & your bulk points if your families had some change they used to throw you at colleges abroad. Not pa zambia. Its now that the two universities are something you can joke about because of lickages & everyone geting 6 points. Us who went in the 1990s can tell you. And from zambian universities we now…
Lol Mushota and your PHD, awe mwandi.
uli chikopo mushota..walipona kanshi..UNZA doesn’t need such
iwe naiwe ka mushota, ibange.
phds are ubiquitous these days. it’s just another academic certification
live life and make positive contributions to your communities and those around you because when it’s all said and done, that’s all that really matters
walanda bwino

I thought the above signatory was recalled, someone enlighten me pliz
He was recalled because he divorced his wife. Apparently his job required him to be married. Since he is now married to Ba Maureen Nkandu he was allowed to go back because he meets policy requirements!
Cosmas Chieshe belongs to the elite tribe. Only tongas and the UPND in particular were dying with envy so that he could be recalled, but baliloba ilyauma!!!!
How come Cosmas Chileshe is still in the US, I thought he was recalled. Hmmmm any way he is Bemba, had he been Tonga he would have been with no job right now.

The TRIBAL H-organisation known as UPND is pathetic! UPND is not a political party! It is a TRIBAL WAR party! I am glad I had worked hard to uncover their lunacy and it is now being revealed without coding it as they had been doing before. CHILDISH is UNLIKABLE, UNWINNABLE & he will NEVER be president in Zambia.
He is in the US, dumped the legitimate wife, banging somebody else and YES life goes on.
Please don’t polute US in China with that styopet CHINA UNZA ALUMNI OF URS LET IT REMAIN IN US COS WE KNOW ITS NDC AND UPND SPONSORED
Good progress in a right direction.
