According to a statement, RTSA Acting Board Chairperson Dr Cornelius Chipoma said the Board decided that Mr Soko separates from the Agency on 6th September 2019 following the expiry of his contract.

    • @NEDCOZ, sorry @NECZAM (Z) Ltd, I think Zambia will be better when we lock up the small boy, I meet the little one CHILDISH. Until he brings back the money from PANAMA, we shall not rest.

    • Politicians know how to distract people especially when they have a case to answer….and now Lungu wants people to stop talking about his relationship with drug dealers…..Zindaba will just be moved to a different ministry…..Politicians plot and make deals behind closed doors when no one is watching or listening….whatever they say on the podium in front of the nation is a lies……

    • Ba LT Admin, Why are you allowing ‘N.E.E.Z.’, NEDCOZ, Nerd or whatever ‘his’ name is to continue diluting your loaded news articles? Please switch on and don’t let clowns ruin the great work you are doing.

  1. HH is the only solution to all these woes Zambians are going through. Plz let us all progressive Zambians rally behind this great man of wisdom. Kalubula wesu.

    • Iye awe mwatukomeka amatwi naba triple h. I’m sure you will be by his side wasting your time mu concourt in 2021. He is one of the expired presidential aspirants.

  2. Soko is he also from Eastern province?
    The other day ati he’s being probed for corruption
    driving under influence of alchol,
    Motoka yabeuka,
    Now is been fired,
    Imilandu ku court shilelolela

  3. He was seconded to RTSA from the Ministry of Finance where he was working as a Head Driver. He will simply go back there.

  4. If his contract expired on 6 September 2019 and they have decided not to renew it. Then his not been fired!!

  5. A contract can be renewed or not. Some contracts are not renewable some have terms of renewal. But Zambians – ati fired. Do you expect a person on contract to work forever?

  6. Goodbye Zindaba Soko. I liked your style of management. At least you inculcated a spirit of zero tolerance to corruption among RATSA officers. Those guys are proffessional. Remember, when one door closes, another is opened.

  7. I never rejoice over anyone’s job loss.
    I also believe you are innocent until proven guilty by the courts of law.
    Even when they are guilty, I chose to not rejoice
