    Great pics… the number of dignitaries who showed up is a great sign Zambia is back again on the world stage to take her place, like it used to be during KK days.
    Good luck Bally, we are all rooting for your success.
    No doves yes, in this day and age that’s animal cruelty. Where are the fighter jets flying above (the TV cameraman didn’t really show them properly)?

  3. The whole occasion was a delight to watch with the whole stadium painted red and some elements at Cabinet Office wanted to sabotage it by limiting entry to the stadium. Shame on them they wanted the stadium to have very few people to attend as usual under the pretex of curbing spread of covi-19. You can’t beat public opinion.

  4. No more office of the First Lady, it’s a drain on the national coffers. Let that office be innovative, it should be funded by donations from well wishers and should be self sustainable. I hope she does end up like the other firsts.

  5. Every Zambian should be proud of this! Kwena nshatalamonapo mu Africa. A ruling president handing over power to the opposition leader! We are Special. We should sing songs about this

  7. The sad part is that you booed the out going president in the face of international dignitaries. Yes he might have fallen out of favour but he deserved respect. Some issues are in house, that in itself never showed respect and love.
