Pictures of Samfya Construction site for an International Convention Centre, 3 star Hotel and Shopping Mall

1. AND some one from the tribal party will lie to you that there is no development under PF? dont be cheated my brothers and sisters. My president is looking fit and leading by example. Very humble man. We love you!!

   I have received a lot of requests for me to avail my assets and networth. This follows rumours that I am one of the richest men in zambia. I want to end these rumours once and for all. I would like to formally inform the entire nation what my current networth is. Without further ado my current net worth is:

   MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!!!!

2. The Artist Impression of the International Convention Centre looks good. i only hope this will not end up being a white elephant as they say.How easily connected is Samfya by either Air or Road? All the best and good luck .

3. Virtual meetings are a growing thing and some people see it fit to sink money into such a structure. Good luck guys. Whn u’re spending other people’s money, I guess u don’t hv to be circumspect.

4. If every Govt that came to power did only half of what PF has done we would be somewhere by now. Of course, they are not angels. Even the Angels in America are not so Angels after all. Trump has shown us the true Americans. They are riding on the development left by their ancestors, Lungu tata “ konkanyenipo, Utupuba tuletalika”.

5. @Kaizer, You see how we do it in Luapula. You have failed to do a sh!t for people of Petauke. The only thing you PF are 2 schools Ester Lungu, another Edgar Lungu primary school.

6. In Ethiopia, they have built industrial parks to manufacture all sort of items for export and as a result created jobs. In Kenya, they have built a brand railway line from Nairobi to Mombasa which has created thousands of jobs.But here we have people promoting consumption but the people have no jobs and the money to spend when these proposed Construction of an International Convention Centre, 3 star Hotel and Shopping Mall are done, let alone the location of this town which is not even accessible.

8. It looks nice. Just not sure what economic activities will lead to this investment being viable. Which anchor store will be attracted to operate and still be profitable.

   Anyone else remember that sign?

11. What you see as an artists impression and what will eventually come up will be two different things.

12. It will never rise beyond the foundation stone just like King Lewanika University, Mongu stadium and Livingstone stadium

13. Who is funding this project? Hopefully Edgar Choipa Lungu is not borrowing more money to build what may end up to be a white elephant. Think production not just consumption!

14. @2: Just by your comment(s) one would conclude that you don’t know your Zambia and I can guarantee that you haven’t been to Luapula Province in general and Samfya in particular. Unfortunately for you there are no white elephants there. What you see and hear is what you get. I can guarantee that with the likes of His Honourable Mr Nickson Chilangwa the provincial minister, Samfya will be turned into a city in about five years time. And Luapula Province will soon be feeding Zambia and neighbouring countries and overseas. Mark my words. mind you Luapula, Northern (and N/Eastern) provinces are just extensions of the Katanga Province of the DR Congo- (by the way and for your info Katanga Province has been broken down into more provinces.). Therefore, all the minerals found in the Katanga (of…

15. @2: …Therefore, all the minerals found in the Katanga (of which the main Language is Bemba) also occur in the two provinces- Northern and Luapula. The all 3 above mentioned provinces have plenty of water and just the right sun light and heat for all the crops you may think of on earth. The most beautiful (but not the only) water falls are in Mporokoso. KNOW YOUR ZAMBIA, STOP MEMORISING WHERE THE THAMES RIVER IS.

17. The next thing in Samfya should be an international airport to take tourists directly to Luapula Province from all corners of the world.

18. Luapula has one of the best beaches in Zambia and added to that with a minister of Tourism from Luapula – sad no one goes to these beaches, lest come under attack from human crocodiles. So, 3 star hotel and shopping mall in Samfya?, dream on with an artist impression “fili uku tuleya”

19. LUAPULA PROVINCE hasn’t got one beach. LUAPULA PROVINCE has numerous pure white sand beaches and a system of many lakes concentrated in each others proximity. It has breath-taking Wetland grasslands filled with birdlife and other animals on four or so.

20. These are PF dumb ideas things like hotels, shopping malls any conference centres…I mean who is going to be flying to Samfya for conferences….other countries build manufacturing warehouses this la7y visionless clown ? Edgar is more interested in luxury.

21. Any form of construction under this government must be halted because even a child born in 2052 will be paying the PF debt. Too much njota this party. #42for42, malabishi yekayeka.

23. Pictures?? How can you have pictures of something that hasnt been constructed???? No wonder politicians have a field day in Zambia because they can easily convince voters about a land of milk and honey to which they will deliver everyone after elections. And they will have several followers

24. Pulizzz…, in the current Zambian context, that’s not development. You don’t build a hotel and shopping Mall before you have any recognizable employment generating major industries in the area? Even the tourism sector there can do better first. You need to create ‘value’ first by producing and hence ensuring that people will have buying power – then there will be demand for such infrastructure. I have been to Samfya. How will the shops and hotel survive? From the cadres and looters visiting from Lusaka and the Copperbelt?
    This is the same inverse theory in relation to the new airports. You should only expand or build airports when there is demand, created by major economic developments. You don’t build ‘shiny’ airports and then hope passengers will increase automatically. There has…

25. No praises for this investment in terms of economic returns. Samfya will obviously have a beautiful out of place edifice with most high paying jobs it will create going to imported personnel. How much it will inject into the local economy of Samfya is good guessing exercise. Truth of the matter as a “convention center” it surely will deliver for government institutions and political circles as major users thus justification for investing in it. I wonder what will make it attractive as a destination for local tourism if not to view the water expanse devoid of fish that could attract sport fishing and cuisine. Location is also a logistical challenge! Anyway somebody must have gotten their wish!

27. These Artists Impressions DON’T look “TOURISTIC” , NOT PICTURISTIC” ! They don’t look environmental friendly and not different from concrete jungles that urban dwellers and developed world tourists would wish to leave behind for a while and to go and have a different flavour of life in a rural setting, in Samfya!! WHY CANT THESE GUYS LEARN FROM OTHERS LIKE ELEPHANTS HILL HOTEL IN VICTORIA FALLS AND EVEN THE FORMER SUN HOTEL IN LIVINGSTONE!! Ba PF, PLIZ THINK BEFORE YOU DO!!
