The ZNBC Board has appointed Malolela Lusambo as the new Director General effective December 1.
ZNBC board Chairperson Mulenga Kapwepwe says the board settled for Mr. Lusambo because of his vast experience in the media industry.
Ms. Kapwepwe said the board is confident that Mr. Lusambo will deliver on the expectations of the board and Zambians having served in the media industry for 28 years.
She also thanked ZNBC legal Director Reuben Kajokoto who acted as Director General from the time the position was left vacant.
And Mr. Lusambo who thanked the board for giving him the opportunity to serve as Director General said the new position will require teamwork from all departments of the institution to enable him live up to the mandate and vision of the institution.
He also noted that he is aware of the many challenges the institution is going through and will continue to dialogue as way of resolving issues.
Mr. Lusambo was ZNBC Director Engineering and Technical Services.
Any relation to Bowman?
You are good looking madam.
Looks and brains, very attractive.
Anyway I digress, congratulations on your new appointment.
Bowman Lusambo’s elder brother yes.
ZNBC IS VERY DISAPPOINTING FOR ME WHO IS SUCH A NATIONALIST!
I AM SORRY TO SAY I ONLY WATCH THE 19:00 HRS TV NEWS AND OCCASSIONALLY WHEN ZAMBIA IS PLAYING AND INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS TELECASTS
WHY CAN’T WE HAVE THE DYNAMISM AND ENTHUSIASM OF BBC, CNN OR SKY NEWS PRESENTERS?
THE PROGRAMMES ARE NOT ADVERTISED AND EVEN WHEN THEY PRESENT THE NEWS THEY DON’T BOTHER TO TELL YOU WHAT WILL COME AFTER COMMERCIAL BREAKS
WILL THE NEW MAN AT THE HELM REVAMP OR HIRE DYNAMIC PRESENTERS AND HAVE GRIPPING PROGRAMMES.
EVEN THE SOUTH AFRICAN TV STATIONS DO A BETTER JOB, I AM SORRY AND ASHAMED TO SAY.
AND LET US NOT TALK ABOUT FUNDING AND PARTICULARLY EQUIPMENT BECAUSE IT’S THERE BUT NOT WELL UTILISED!!
PLEASE DO SOMETHING!?
Uninspiring, it will remain DeadNBC for now. Why could they not get a young savvy media/coms expert? Typical PF, dead on arrival
Actually, the lady in the picture is Malolela, for those not conversant with the new appointee!!!
Yaba! UNELECTABLE HAGAIN!
Malolela Lusambo is male, the one in the picture is Ms Kapwepwe ZNBC Board chairperson
Congrats Lusambo…..a deserved appointment
Mr. Lusambo is very well suited for the job. I know him to be hardworking and very professional. The board has done a commendable job in arriving at the decision of putting Mr. Lusambo for this purpose. Congratulations to you Mr. Lusambo.
Now its the family getting rewarded LUSAMBO.
Bowman Lusambo is Lusaka minister, while his bother is now ZNBC director.
The Musokotwanes have lost the contracts.
Right time at the right place. Chance favours him. Season yake.
Nostradamus nobody has won or lost anything. Question should be “is Lusambo qualified”? If he is, then let us hope and pray that he does a good job
No relation to Bowman.
NO RELATIONSHIP WITH BOWMAN LUSAMBO , MALOLELA IS FROM LUAPULA WHILE BOWMAN IS FROM CENTRAL .CONGRATS BO MALOLELA BUT BE READY TO BE FIRED IN 2021 AND THAT IS END OF YOUR CAREER
Hope this deserved appointment translates into an institution responsible to the nation as one serving the Zambians at large with much needed information and not dancing to politicians’ whims both in the opposition and in ruling party! I am watching from the terrace before I applaud the appointment!
Malolela is very qualified for the job. He started as Technical assistant then went to Livingston trades school, copperbelt university and masters in UK in computer science. Congratulations mwaiche

ZNBC please, please consider engaging professionals or expert to discus topical issues and NOT generalists.
Congrats Mr. Lusambo. Always remember yours is a professional position
Send some of these guys to leadership and management training. The fact that you are technically adept does not mean you can lead across the disciplines. A lot of promising young hands have been destroyed by these aimless appointments. Congratulations, Malolela. You are a very hardworking and professional guy. Just get yourself onto some of these strategy training programmes to complete yourself.
Congratulations Mr Lusambo for your hardworking you deserve to that appointment kwasila.
