Meanwhile, Southern Province Deputy Permanent Secretary Kennedy Mubanga has said that government will not allow anyone to die of hunger due to drought which hit the region in the last farming season.
Mr. Mubanga said that government has put in place measures to mitigate the effects of drought in the area, such as assisting those affected with relief food.
Mr. Mubang said that the drought experienced in the last farming season in the area was a temporary setback and encouraged farmers not to give up.
Mr. Mubanga was hopeful that the region which has been a national food basket in the past will bounce back next farming season to produce enough grain to feed the country.
He was speaking when Alpha commodities Limited officials paid a courtesy call at his office in Choma.
The Deputy Permanent Secretary stated that Alpha commodities has already started distributing fertilizer in Southern province in readiness for the 2019/2020 farming season.
And Alpha Commodities Country Manager Ndeleki Miyanda said his Company has already positioned six thousand metric tonnes of fertilizer in Southern Province.
Mr. Miyanda said Alpha Commodities will distribute about 15 thousand tonnes of fertilizer in Southern Province this year
Tasila,when are you getting married? These donations you are making everywhere will only get you into trouble after 2021.
This strategy of keeping your citizens impoverished by not providing farming inputs on time is meant to make African leaders look like saviours when they come to dish out their donations, where is the govt mandated organ DMMU, why should bena tasila and lusambo take the role of DMMU.this
system of allowing every tasila and lusambo to be social welfare officers, is what led to Ugandan children dying at the hands of unqualified American woman, who was pretending to be a medical professional, goggle #whitesaviour, nayeve njala my Africa people just receive stuff without questions.
Donating mealie meal (not maize) to the bread basket of Zambia SP without shame…what ever happened to those 2000 Solar Hammer Mills Lazy Lungu bought under his laughable initiative I am sure by now they have nothing to grind but sand and rust!!
Distributing stolen money.
Makes No sense, the villager will sell the Maize again so what value will it bring to them? Go there after a month to investigate. Moreover, where did she get the money these are questions we should ask.
What is her source of income? Being a daughter of Lungu does not guarantee income to afford donations. What did she donate before Lungu became the President? Let us have a conversation!
Koma sure mwe! Kodi achosa Kuti Ndalama zamene adonetela zonse izi zintu mwana uyu?
Zo kuba…..
If the president does not care about the future of this thieving child,how can he care about us?He knows or ought to know that the daughter is a mere councillor. And quite clearly he does not care about what the future holds for her,how can he be expected to care for the ordinary citizen?Lungu and his daughter should go…
Tell your father to provide farming in puts on time. You have improvised the population by stealing all the money and want to appear to be helping. Wrong
Watch this space this small girl Tasila who came from US with hand luggage will soon be honored for her philanthropy work you watch this space!!
She will soon be given an honorary doctorate by UNZA for her donations…
These are the people who were exporting maize when govt lifted the ban …where is this ward Councillor girl Tasila getting money for maize!!
“Ms. Lungu who was accompanied by Namibia’s first daughter”.
Please, someone explain to me: What is a FIRST DAUGHTER
It’s our bootlicking media sucking up by creating imaginary titles. First daughter wakuti?
If a “First Daughter”gives birth to a girl,
is that baby then a “First Granddaughter”?
HELP!
@Ivo Kikikikikikikiki! Kwena wandepulaaaa! Awe mwe Kamfwayeko naka Mosi Kikikikikikiki!
From the negative comments above, its safe to assume they are planning to use the donations to create a huge witches bonfire to dance around shouting: ‘lose, lose the next elections (although we know you won’t)!’
Badala , we want to see people provided for with a means to support themselves and their families …….not these suspect donations that they sh.it out in the toilet tommorro and back to begging…
Unfortunately people of southern province have substituted farming for politics. Every tonga is a upnd cadre who believes hh will one day become president and provide them with free life.
Robin Hood 4 sure, steal n then donate but is it acceptable?
Rohin Hood was stealing corrupt English crown and giving it back to the people…nowhere near that!!
*stealing from …
Comment:wonderful
Comment:great job tasila
By 2021 our people will be so hungry and poor that these noxious petty thieves like this small girl Tasila will be donating clean water to them and they will be cheering….this is why they wont tolerate any talks about lifestyle audits!!
Let her donate through DMMU. Simple.
This habit of exposing children is very dangerous.
Mwanvela bambo lungu
The once poor nobodies are getting richer by the month to the point where they have huge amounts of cash lying about in the kitchen!!
Let her donate through DMMU. Simple.
This habit of exposing children is very dangerous.
Mwanvela bambo lungu
Let her donate through DMMU. Simple.
This habit of exposing children is very dangerous.
Mwanvela bambo lungu
Let her donate through DMMU. Simple. As already observed she is behaving like a street hustler stone thrower book licker lusambo
This habit of exposing naive children is very dangerous.
Mwanvela bambo lungu
Steal and donate. One definitely look like a Robin Hood. But this is different – steal from the poor and donate to the poor. What a disaster!
Deja Vu… giving out bribes on behalf of daddy !! What people need is jobs and empowerment and not hand outs for the sake of extra votes. This is pure brain washing of an impoverished community to make them think that they are being cared for by a government that steals their public funds!! Disgusting and shameful !!
BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE BITTER. SHE IS NOT TO BLAME FOR YOUR POVERTY. THE LITTLE SHE MOBILIZES FROM WELL-WISHERS SHE GIVES TO THE POOR. THIS STORY OF “STEALING” IS NOT GOING TO GET US ANYWHERE. EVEN IF ECL OR TASILA LEAVE OFFICE YOU WILL REMAIN POOR IF YOU DONT WORK HARD AND CONTINUE WITH YOUR JEALOUSY.
If lungu and tasila leave office , belive me , there will be money to provide real jobs…..now everything is being stolen.
But why are they impounding trucks of maize bought by private citizens at Kafue checkpoint? Does it mean people of Southern Province don’t a right to buy maize from other parts of Zambia?
The disaster is natural , Government doesn’t make rain so please appreciate a good gesture Tasila has shown .Who knows her intentions ? Only God does ,you will end criticising good deeds if you feel your minds with politics .I have nothing but if I had enough to help the starving I would do the same and am not a politician,what would be called? ofcourse a Satanist right? Whatever her intentions are thank God that people have been helped.One Zambia One Nation thank you.
Zambia had $17 billion at her disposal 4 years ago, we have the largest water bodies in southern africa, there is no need for people to be starving drought or no drought.
if this show of protest in comment content could be taken to the ballot box, then u need not worry about gestures that have hidden motives
We had $17 billion to spend on development less than some 4 years
….we have the largest natural water bodies in southern Africa..
Drought or no drought , there is no need for people to starve and be reduced to beggars …
That is why we are bitter..
Pablo was a greater Donner for the great Colombia people.
The people who received the mealie meal are appreciative why cant we be all happy for them. Lets learn to appreciate not all the time condemning and politicising things. lets learn to have an attitude of gratitude. Not all things people we may hate or dislike do are bad.
Rowdy, open your eyes this is bad
Baby clown
Teach them HOW, and not bribing them. What happens after that ka 50kg is gone? Lusambo will donate, ka?
Useless.
Thanks Tasi my dear, keep up the good work!
Gay Jay trib.al, you are really laughable! I thought that you were one of the differently abled trib.als but lol was I wrong!
What makes you think Tasila is donating her money when you know that she has none? Tasi is simply using her connections to improve the lives of the vulnerable. And there are many big guys out there who want to extend their help through Tasi. None of those guys is a trib.al, take it from me!!
Really laughable, these trib.als.
Chief Sekute warmly received the two “first girls” (kikikikikikiki).. ask the chief what his subjects think of the maize meal, simple, why are you trib.als so lazy?
