Zambia’s High Commissioner to South Africa Emmanuel Mwamba has been transferred to Addis Ababa Ethiopia.
Mwamba is expected to take the post as Zambia’s ambassador to Ethiopia as well as Permanent Representaive to the African Union.
Sources close to the process stated that Mwamba will be taking over from veteran diplomat, Ambassador Susan Sikaneta who has been retired.
Mwamba was posted to South Africa and prides himself of many achievements including the establishment of the Zambia-South Business Forum and the signing the Bi-National Commission between the two states.
Mwamba’s replacement has not yet been announced.
Last week Mwamba was reported in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia attending the 32nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union Summit.
The Zambia Association in South Africa(ZASA) that is organising Mwamba’s farewell party, said they were informed informally about Mwamba’s movement in December 2018.
But they said they were now organising a farewell party as they were aware that processes for Mwamba’s eventual movement were almost complete.
ZASA President, Ferdinand Simanya said that the High Commissioner was the Patron of the association and the executive were organising the farewell party because of the notable achievements and milestones the organisation made under his leadership.
He said Zambians felt were represented and welcomed Mwamba’s open-door policy at the Embassy.
It sounded as a joke when some of the bloggers inhere voiced their interest to see EM out of SA
Thanks guys, you saw this coming,
You have taken the words out of my mouth.
That irritating squicky voice with R’s replaced with L’s will NOT be missed on SABC.
H.E. Chikonde was a true diplomat, not this rigging cadre who thinks he’ll be the next Zambian president.
The funny thing with the crook Mwamba is he can make a better Cabinet Minister than whats currently in Lungu’s cabinet he is even smarter than Lazy Lungu but no President can trust him hence the reason Lazy Lungu keeps him in the camp …not in the tent. Its like having a long python that is always measuring you looking for weakness.
A night school certificate in journalism is way below the requirements for such a job. That is Emmanuel’s qualification but this does not worry Edgar because Freedom Sikazwe has no 12 certificate either, nor do his other aides specifically Kaisar Zulu
Iwe Obatala Mwamba has a degree in journalism night school yakuti?
The best never rest! Congratulations … Let’s roll
@Obatala 1.4. It’s actually the so called educated people that have no clue on what they are doing. They have failed Zambia lamentably and are corrupt to the core. Like they say formal education is not a measure of intelligence.
Watchdog reported this a few months back
Just send current Inspector General there or MMD cadres…
And ???? Does it make a victory for HH?
Ama irere baUPND
Dont be surprised if bootlicker Tayali is sent to RSA…if a fooooool like Father Bwalya is in Oz what more Tayali!!
I’ll vomit
@JAY JAY you seem to be in so much pain, was your Father or Mother one of those that lost their job when PF come into power? Ifiko too much take bath my friend
Why should something have to happen to me or a loved one for me to detest appalling leadership and corruption given that me and my loved ones are paying these fooools.
You think everyone has a cadre brain like yourself!!
Credit should be given where credit is due, job well done representing Zambia and its interests in SA. Wishing you the best on your well deserved promotion.
Really laughable…I wonder what is going to happen to his fancy High Commission website..I fear he will get more contacts at AU and will be reshuffled soon…I mean even Foreign Minister feels uncomfortable with him. The crook Mwamba is a natural deal broker…ideal as Minister of Foreign Affairs but he can outshine Lazy Lungu in every department including corruption.
What exactly are Zambia’s interests in South Africa?
Our foreign representatives are like the rest of the lazy shirtless bureaucrats; they don’t have a frame for their performance appraisals. Anything and nothing are equally acceptable as long as one is towing a political line.
Why shirtless?
He was punishing UPND’s free masonry office in SOUTH AFRICA.There was nothing which UPND was discussing without reaching the ear of the president.No wonder UPND cadres are so glad to hear that Mwamba’s transfer has commenced.
You would think that would serve the interests of the appointing authority: why is he being moved?
This is the best ambassador zambia ever had WECOME TO ABYSINIA BOSS WILL THE LAND OF BEAUTIES SOON IN 2021 U MST BE MINISTER OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS ..NOMINATED
Transfer Mukwita from Germany to Bujumbura…
Kutikakana kalya aka temwa but chongz filya!
