    • That’s only thing these quacks know is money pumped up their anals. And kissing their king’s feet.
      Describe if it is a factory or plantation. What is label of that sugar, who owns it?
      Put pictures from Mansa Sugar, and that fuccking picture.

    • I am sure Chitotela will be there at the airport to welcome his boss at his hometown …Lazy already knew the outcome of his corruption case weeks ago.

    • The two presidents from eastern province have been an embarrassment to say the least. Tasebanya enze Baku umamwa.voyionenera ku ukuru

  1. it’s because of this caliber of reporters that these fools get away with a lot. no one asks questions.
    what they report is the same like a layman can write by mere observation. no in-depth analysis. just reporting what meets the eye.
    when I was in Zambia last month, znbc prime news, reporter was on tv saying the government is opening factories in central province, I forget whether mukushi or serenje. but just that, he was reporting, and it was on the headlines…. government to open factories in central province. no single detail or what will be manufactured or how many or who…all the pertinent information that is supposed to accompany such a piece. mediocrity at it’s worst

  2. Being critical of this Lungu is beginning to give me the strange felling of being critical of a mentally ill person, I give up.

    • Icho commissioner in chief, next it will be toilets…. very lazy nothing to do, worst president in the world

  3. Excellent! This is makes for positive reading. Please don’t be distracted by those enraged with a positive thing Mr President. Zambia Sugar has defined and continues to contribute to the livelihood of the people of Southern province for decades. A venture like this can help bring and sustain the economy of the good people of Luapula province for many decades to come.

  4. At this rate Edgar Lungu should come commission my new roadside salaula shack.This economy has been in autopilot for 4yrs.

  5. These are projects worth commissioning by the Head of State – not simple little things like filling stations,lodges,” mini hospitals”.. But Ba Chilangwa should stop comparing the jobs that were created by Mansa Batteries with what is happening now.We have different dynamics at play and given where things are in this era of ICT and globalisation, I would say we have very much fallen behind!!

  6. That is what slavery was about.The cultivation of sugar tobacco and cotton.Using African Labour.Peter Carlos Hinds.

    • Truel Now go invest in there and use their labour.

      This is an investment by Sakiza of Kitwe or Ndola.

  7. Anything that takes the president away from work in his office is game for him! Is the sugar plantation government project?

  8. Typical PF Kaponya , street vendor mentality. You have ten traders standing next to each and all are selling tomatoes.
    The northern region already has Kalungwishi Estates Limited which produces 2,600 tonnes of sugar under the Kasama sugar brand.Instead of allowing it to expand and provide competition to Zambia sugar, the entire president wants to commission another Kantemba business.
    After failing to revive Mansa Batteries and Kawambwa tea,now you want to cheat people with Mansa sugar.Spare us the jokes please.

  9. Lungu’s ministers are the happiest in Africa. Why? You ask, it’s because their boss does all their work for them.He commissions every thing.

  10. …..oops, maybe he just loves to be airborne. Rupiah Banda watchout, your travelling record is about to be in the archives.

  11. I think this is a good development. We want as many of these value addition industries as possible. More jobs, more forex as the market for sugar is ever available. Another massive sugar plantation is to be commissioned soon in Western province.

    • But why sugar sugar sugar almost everywhere? We already have Nakambala, Kafue and Kasama sugar plantations? Unless they are telling us it will be largely for export?

    • @ just asking. You can’t have only one company manufacturing a comodity as they would enable them to dictate prices. Remember lafarge before and after Dangote came in.

  12. From ECL we call him kamwendo munjila . Doe this stay at state house?is he running away from his wife? Or he has girlfriends that’s the way to meet them?

  13. ECL2021 the Commissioner General, he’s following in the footsteps of his mentor and godfather the President of all Zambians His Excellency Mukulu Mpuno Nyama Soya

  14. @ Bonzoman, The job of the president is to move around. You will never find one that just sits at state house Any Where in the world. Not even presidents from oposition parties just sit. They are all over the show. Whatimo
