Our efforts to uplift our people, are of the of utmost importance to us, and we will leave no stone unturned until we have found meaningful, sustainable employment opportunities for everyone.
Your country is expecting a storm that will injure and kill people, yet there you are in South Africa meeting your gay sponsors who funded your election. You are an embarrassment sir
By gay you mean Happy ka?
Clown
Liar, Vasco Dagama! Launching a book with his business associates, then passing by President Ramaphosa. Another wasted presidency we are seeing!!
Good work Mr President. We need a fair and balanced trade with South Africa.
Do not lie Membe – Tax evader. There is nothing that stops the President to say he is going for a personal and pvt visit – other President have done that before.
Comrade Meembe has exposed you. This president is useless.
Always talking about the same things.
Nazo nkhani!
Kaizer ,Henry and the nigger who lost he’s manly nature .You seem to be suffering from dementia of some kind. In case you have not noticed, tides have shifted and you are stuck in your old ways and deranged patterns. Its a new world gentlemen ,you can not fight the wind. The sooner you realize ,the safer the journey for you!!!
He can as well live in South Africa like that FAZ President who never lived here.
By the way which Commercial Flight did he use
For whatever reason he is going there for, let him go, no one can stop him. He is in charge now-don’t forget that PF cadres above.
And by the way, the book he is going to launch, next year it ll be on the shelves of most prominent universities. Tell me, Lungu launched a book in Germany too, but which primary school or Kantemba sells that piece of sheet? None! What a waste of the writers energy and our GRZ resources.
BMW don’t hoodwink the people of Zambia, lies have short legs.
Idyots gave loans to $ex industry called PF artists.
They should have given those loans to footballers.
The Jet!!!!!!!. It hasnt been sold!!!!! Mwebantu. Elections can make people promise the impossible.
All the best Mr President, you are representing us very well!!
Foreign affairs Minister Kakubo told us Bally was only going to pay a courtesy call on President Ramaphosa. Meaning, Bally is not in South Africa at Ramaphosa’s invitation. Now, Bally is telling us upon arrival in South Africa that he is actually there to promote trade and investment. Sounds more like an afterthought after having been exposed by Dr. M’membe. Let him probably use the occasion of a courtesy call on Ramaphosa to humbly request the South African leader to invite him for a state visit to South Africa. He should tell him he has for some time now been yearning for such an invitation though it has not been forthcoming.
The only president who has gotten rid of cadres in Zambia peace enjoyed by everyone including PF chief cadre KZ who dehumanised Zambians
Bally you are the same person who used to say Lungu was busy globe trotting and yet people back home are faced with fuel increases and food price rises .You are supposed to be our servant sorting our problems.
Well done HH, you are representing us well. Please ignore comments from those wounded from the August 12 massacre. The Ubomba mwibala alya mwibala regime can not believe they are out of the picture
Thanks Bally, we are being respected again in the region. I hope trade can really be revived, the PF were bequeathed with a decent economy by the MMD only to run every thing aground. The PF even cheated the people that they would be more money in the pockets of Zambians, after ten years zero delivery.
It will be difficult to implement the campaign promises by UPND. The President is too movious, and it’s costly on the nation’s economy. Kindly the UPND supporters be objective and face the reality. Do not just defend anyhow. Remember 2026 is not very far.
@16 Lawrence Bwalya, these guys who are always defending the s@t@n1st are the most vulnerable people in society.
They are pretending as if their lives are good on this platform but deep down their hearts they are suffering and regretting for having voted baal.
Henry – MOF just released K198 million to schools for tution fees…you seriously think people miss PF’s reckless management of resources. ..really laughable.
Baya mukwisula aka buku…lol
GRZ, UPND During the campaign they used wide-angle lens, why Close shots now?
UPND is getting preferential treatment from GRZ.
GRZ, Tell UPND that you need your diaspora children to come back home.
Why are you running to Dubai and South Africa?
A demagogue President…why not do virtual meetings….with the virus raging….HH is using government resources for his own personal business….bilateral talk with South Africa….my foot…this guy thinks Zambians are Fooools……and you thought Edgar Lungu was bad now here you have it
Vasco Da Gama has always been a liar. Do not take him seriously. He came on a platform of lies and will always be a liar. Stupid, so called 2.8million, clapping for a liar. He is just a waste of space. The worst president Zambia will ever have. Everything is lies and lies. His mouth has no truth.
This is one of the reasons why Africans are not respected by the western world or rather developed countries because they see all these midriocrcy in our so called leaders and the empoverished electorate keeping clapping for their leaders who pretend to be using their resources properly when in actual fact they are doing things for themselves. Indeed an expensive trip on a jet to just show Zambians a photograph with a president of another country ( and they call it a ” courtesy call”). This, the praise singers call it as being represented!!. When will Africa wake up from slumber?
Mr Kawawasha
ECL WENT ON NUMEROUS TRIPS AND BROUGHT NOTHING BACK SO YOU PF SUPPORTERS STOP WHINING AND LET THE MAN DO A BETTER JOB
AFRICA WAKE UP ??
THATS NOT POSSIBLE WITH SELF CENTRED 1d10*ts AMONGST US
