President Edgar Lungu is today expected in Kasama District, Northern Province for a one day official visit.

Northern Province Minister, Chungu Bwalya says the President will be in the district to among other things officially open the Patriotic Front(PF) provincial conference.

“President Lungu who is also PF President will touch down at Kasama Airport at 10:00 hours and thereafter officially open the provincial conference which will culminate in the election of the new provincial committee,” he said.

Mr Bwalya who is also PF Provincial Chairperson said the elective conference will be held in two venues within Kasama and will be conducted virtually.

“The teams will be split into two, with one team stationed at Kasama Boys while the other will be at Kasama College of Education. The meetings will be held virtually and the groups will be using the screen to discuss with each other,” he said.

He explained that the delegates have been split into two as a way of encouraging social distance in view of the COVID-19.

Mr Bwalya has further announced that there will be some restrictions in the number of people to be allowed at the airport.

“We expect some restrictions in the number of people who will come to receive the President not because of anything but due to COVID-19. However, we expect all the people who will come to put on face masks, observe social distance,” he said.

President Lungu is expected to proceed to Mansa in Luapula Province after his engagements in Kasama.

  1. Kambwili is right, UPND should field its own candidates. NDC own candidates.
    UPND don’t need any other political parties, they are not bringing more than 50 members anyway, Alliance is only giving them 50 troubles, and Zambia will lose again.

  2. Lungu also donated 9000 bikes to eastern province – its an election year so its all political in these Lungu actions.

  3. With this totally collapsed economy by the PF and even before covid, is this party still supposed to be conducting conferences. Isn’t this party supposed to be resigning on its own instead of allowing a President who has clearly failed to continue to use tax payers money travelling to these provinces

  4. Nostra, the only person dying of covid are black f00ls like you there abroad. We have read reports that black and ethnic minorities like you are more likely to succumb to covid due to low standards of life for negros like you.

    Meanwhile the president is doing his job diligently while hh continues playing around on social media. Ka under five

  5. ECL has delivered development from modern road networks in Lusaka, street lighting, defense and security housing units, health posts, planes, the list is endless and the economy is performing its only those who are blind who can’t see the direction the country is headed to. The PF members are seeing more than non members.

  6. The most classic adage regarding trolling is, “Don’t feed the trolls.” Trolls seek out emotional responses and find provocation amusing, so replying to them or attempting to debate them will only make them troll more. By ignoring a troll completely, they will likely become frustrated and go somewhere else on the internet.

    You should try your best not to take anything trolls say seriously. No matter how poorly they behave, remember these people spend countless unproductive hours trying to make people mad. They’re not worth your time of day.

  12. Zimbabweans have taken to social media to blame the deaths on President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government, which takes senior officials abroad for treatment instead of rehabilitating the country’s collapsed health care delivery system.
    Critics say Mnangagwa and his predecessor, the late Robert Mugabe, never bothered to upgrade hospitals or adequately pay health workers, who have recently been on strike for more personal protective equipment and better salaries.
    Munashe Bradnick, 31, an accountant, noted that Zimbabweans were not celebrating the deaths of senior government officials.
    “I am not so much about their deaths, but how they lived,” Bradnick said. “At a personal level, I am mourning the lives that they spent killing others, looting resources, instead of spending on education…

  13. PF has already won the August elections. Just look at the increased number of voters in their perceived strongholds? And look at the reduced number in the opposition strongholds? Tables can turn only when the electorate in the PF strongholds come to their senses and vote wisely. Voter registration period should have been 60 days minimum

  14. super spreader events of covi19 – by the time he leaves northern province, mpore than 10,000 will have been Infected with corona virus. so sad. these unnecessary trips are a sign of desperation to cling to power for the third term.
