Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has arrived in Zambia ahead of tomorrow’s Independence celebrations.
President Mnangagwa arrived at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport (KKIA) in Lusaka at about 14:15 hours, Zambian time, aboard Air Zimbabwe.
President Edgar Lungu led Senior Government Officials and Service Chiefs at the airport to receive his visiting counterpart.
The Zimbabwean President upon arrival inspected the Guard of Honour mounted by the Zambia Army.
The visiting Head of State was accorded a 21 gun salute and was later treated to some entertainment by the cultural troupes.
President Mnangagwa is expected to grace this year’s 54TH Independence Day, which falls tomorrow, October 24th, 2018.
The Zimbabwean Head of State is later this afternoon expected to call on First Republican President, Kenneth Kaunda before holding talks with President Edgar Lungu at state House where he is also expected to witness the signing of some Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
President Lungu with his counterpart President Mnangagwa will this evening hoist the national flag at midnight tonight at the show grounds in Lusaka.
This year’s independence will be commemorated under the theme, “54th Independence anniversary celebrating a shared future of unity, development and prosperity.”
Various activities have been lined up for tomorrow to mark the political liberation day of Zambia.
Prior to tomorrow’s independence celebrations, various activities have taken place across the country.
There include cleaning and painting of public places as well as making donations of various items to communities.
another old Guard! Can he take Zimbabwe to the moon! I doubt!
Another old African dictator. What happened to his brother Mugabe. Limbi kalifwa!
He seems to be scared of the carpet in case of ka grenade ….
That guy still wearing that ugly scarf, it’s October too hot for that.
Welcome Mr. President! Wina hanvera HaJealousy.
Only fake presidents would turn up. All genuinely elected presidents don’t take Zambia seriously. Next year it will be muse Eni turning up
“I wish it were HAKAINDE my tribesman,” Larry Mweetwa.
Air Zimbabwe is still operating? Or is it the Presidential jet? After all those years of economic chaos Zimbabwe’s national airline is still there?
Only for head of state!!
But Jet fuel is still cheaper than thieves in Zambia.
I am sure it is UNELECTABLE.
Mugabe Part 2.
Useless corrupt dictators, both of them.
Cholera out breaks and drastic food shortages with a breakdown of service delivery is what characterises Zimbabwe…but munangagwa seems not to care and it’s bussiness as usual.
If the problems facing Zimbabwe were experienced in a western country, the president would not travel outside until everything is put in order….
Sharon You mother didn’t teach you to wash between your stinky smelly legs….
Useress Corrupt leader of the H-opposition and a tribal dictator Hakainde Mentally-Disabled and leader of a TONGA H-organisation is UNELECTABLE.
Another time for the Lazy Lungu to shy away from office….I mean how many Head of States go to physically welcome leaders at the airport.
Ha Jay Jay, the most negative person on the face of the internet. It’s sad your Tonga comrade HH will never rule Zambia because of how he became president of UPND sidelining the other eligible leaders only because he was Tonga. We will never forget, Ha Jay Jay!
Lazy bum illiterate hooligan bully tribal online Mapatizya formula for the tribal gathering son of a polygamist father who never taught him toilet training pooping in public HAGAIN. Need a diaper? HH the thief will NEVER be a president in my lifetime and yours.
Looks like You mother did not teach you as a girl to wash between your stinky smelly legs….
TRIBALISM never wins. Thank you for helping us know what goes on in the little head of CHILDISH. I love all your postings with Gay Jay and Nose Demon and NEDCOZ Inferiority Complex. It helps us know about your TRIBALISM in your H-organisation and it helps Zambians know you better. I am here to uncode it and I will continue to interpret your hatred of the hard-working president of Zambia who is liked by the majority of Zambians except your clan.
It’s time for a new generation of young, dynamic, visionary African leaders. These here don’t inspire me at all.
Which ones? Dont be vague?
Cornelius Mweetwa of course
IT IS UNELECTABLE.
Larry Mweetwa since ONLY A TONGA CAN BE UPND PRESIDENT.
While his here let him fill his aircraft with sugar, cooking oil, meal meal, flour, soap, etc etc because just now they are not available in Zimbabwe so he can either go sell them at exorbitant prices or keep them for himself to use in the presidential palace.
Laughing at the pain of your friends caused by matters beyond their control is being UNWISE and CHILDISH. Zimbabwe and Zambia are one. Don’t be fooled by language barrier or borders. I am also one with the TONGA. Only, I want them to be SANE and stop the hatred.
Zimbabweans please don’t take it to heart! We have a HATRIBES H-ORGANISATION – a clan of NEGATIVITY in Zambia that is led by HHHHHHHHHHH a tribal cult leader. Any NEGATIVE COMMENTS you see are not from Peaceful Zambians you know but come from a group of people with TRIBALISM, FRUSTRATION and HATE for the President because their cult leader had lost the elections FIVE times because he is TRIBAL and UNELECTABLE.
What happened to kamisa. Very childish. Ati I will fix it. I will turn vic falls into LASVEGAS ki ki ki ki
Another vision less leader was in Zim about a week ago, things r bad, mare grapes were $15, this dude hasn’t improved anything since he took over from the other dictator, African leaders are just a disgrace
As visionless and clueless as CHILDISH?
Another vision less African d!ctator, was in Zim last weekend and things r worse now than ever before, a box of grapes was 15 dollars, nothing has changed since he took over from uncle Bob
It’s better for HH not rule than to have a president an embarrassed to humanity, even going to a a door bouncer at East point he would be off than him, hats off to HH cause he’s not a part of the failed governance pathetic failures (PF)
Shallow tribal reasoning.
Welcome to Zambia comrade Mnangangwa!!!As usual Kainde and his tribal creatures camped in regional party UPND wont be part of our celebrations.However,majority Zambians do not care about those minority around Kainde so life shall boom tomorrow together with you Sir!!!
MAY GOD CONTINUE BLESSING MOTHER ZAMBIA!!
God bless Zambia, God bless Zimbabwe.
Zambia seems to be the favourite spot for dictators. There is a reason i am certain.
Right! Dictators from Namwala.
What Zambian independence ? Are we gonna celebrate indebtedness ,cholera , chibolya slums ,Chinese takeover or the financially struggling rural farmers ? Even the kids still learn under trees.
No! We are going to celebrate five time losses of a little privatization thief.
Only fake presidents would turn up. All genuinely elected presidents don’t take Zambia seriously. Next year it will be museveni turning up
He arrived in Lusaka at about.I remember my English teacher in high school who said it should be either at or about.For example,he arrived at 15:30 hours or he arrived about 15:30 hours.
You are right @Jayd. This LT journalism is a minefield. Sometimes I gawk – other times I gag. I am assuming that 14:15h was more of an estimate than a definite one – so we shall just say about 14:15h. It’s hectic following up on these guys’ writing styles mwandini…
Excellent. They don’t make them the way we were made!
