Paramount Chief Chitimukulu of the Bemba people has pledged to sponsor girls at Chimba Secondary School in Mungwi District who will attain excellent results in Grade 12 during this year’s examination.
The traditional leader says he will use his organization, called ‘I have a dream foundation’ to sponsor the girls to pursue engineering and medicine courses in local Universities in the country.
The MWINE LUBEMBA made this pledge during the commemoration of World Children’s day in Mungwi which was held under the theme “investing in our future means investing in our children.
The Paramount Chief has also advised learners to sacrifice and be committed to their education.
And, Northern Province Minister LEONARD MBAO said the government is committed to protecting children’s rights in line with protocols and instruments which Zambia is a signatory to.
In a speech read for him by Mungwi District Commissioner ALBERT MUSONDA, Mr. MBAO said government will continue to upscale efforts to create a safer and better environment for children through enforcing of different pieces of legislation such as Anti GBV Act and the Cyber bullying Act.
World Vision Zambia Associate Director – Advocacy Report and Campaigns CAROL MWEEMBA implored government to expedite the enactment of laws that are aimed at protecting children’s rights in line with the international conventions to which the country is a si
natory.
Dr. MWEEMBA reiterated World Vision Zambia’s continued commitment towards advocating to ending all forms of violence against children in the world and Zambia in particular.
World Vision Zambia also issued a certificate of special recognition to Paramount Chief Chitimukulu for his commitment to child protection activities.
Our useless clique of thieves chief, Sata was right about him!
He must be supported and I will soon visit him to see how we can help. However, even the boy child requires support
“I would say the people of Luapula and indeed Northern Province have been sidelined in terms of development. No wonder when you come around, like where we went for that ceremony [Samu lya Moomba], you could see the difference between Luapula and Southern Province. Southern Province is much developed than Luapula and Northern. I have gone as far as Chipata, I have seen a very big difference. There is balanced development in other provinces.” Chief Mabumba of Luapula .
So where is the unprecedented infrastructural development that PF talks about?
Why is chitumukulu writing on matters like a real chief only now ????
Before , he was the chief of posts with political undertons and innuendos……
That’s why he earned the name chief brown envelope cader…… .
Yes indeed! Excellent move!
Ever since he made his embarrassing U-turn regarding the election process, when it was clear he had been bribed massively by Edgar China Lungu – all Bemba’s are quietly waiting for him to move on. What a hypocritical and useless Chief!
This one must be one of the most completely useless “chieves” in Zambia. His agony too is refusing to meet HH because the man is Tonga only for HH to become elected as president, kuunya bebele mwine luBemba
Is this NGO a chance of redeeming himself? And why copy Martin Luther king’s “I have a dream” can’t you come up with something original of your own.
Good idea, but why now?
Anyway, it is never too late to do some good.
But stay out of politics. You and Mpezeni have let your people down by siding with the corrupt PF at a time when citizens were being gassed, brutalised and mistreated.
