  1. “…Mrs. Lungu who will attend the two day conference will be of great inspiration to the Conference organizers as she has done a lot of work under the Esther Lungu foundation…”

    Any more automotive scrap on offer?

    • 12 people died and she leaving them in mortuary???
      This woman has ugly heart mwe bantu.
      Atleast 12 people were killed in a bar, in her own village in Lusaka, and she is leaving to go a dress in some Ghanian clothes. What a evil woman.
      You will not travel well mayo imwe, Lesa ni Malyotola..
      We are not abusing the social media, its you from that State House who are abusing us, and you don’t attend our funerals. Lesa techipuba.

    • An American pharmaceutical company seems to the sponsor of the conference. Go ahead Esther and meet your opposite numbers from the rest of Africa. But beware big pharma’s motives.

    • Is the Bedroom attendant also joining her….she must be the only first lady in world has a bedroom attendant…am not surprised chawama mentality

  2. I now see why Guy Scott proposed a separate budget for the 1st Lady because this office is a gobbler of money. She moves with an entourage and security details more than that of a Cabinet Minister. This is the most traveled 1st Family. Please slow down, Zambia has no money to sustain these tours.

  3. I still think it was a mistake to throw out appointing Ministers from outside parliament. Some of these gatherings of politicians are just outings. I am sure there will be the usual entourage including those who will be interfering in hotel room functions kwamene uko! For those with corrupted minds I do not mean anything beyond those who make beds and clean rooms. Awe shuwa!

  4. This woman is an illiterate. I remember my whlte wlfe telling me story about when she attended a conference of first ladies in America. The conference had a session about healthy eating and thr first ladies were meant to cook a meal together. Apparently when esther was asked to put the salad in the fridge, she got up picked the cooking oil and placed it in fridge, to the amusement of the other first ladies

  5. Austerity measures….lol,even if there is a claim that the trip is sponsored we are paying somehow…..LUNGU FOR 2021…
