Ministry of Tourism Permanent Secretary Evans Muhanga has revealed that wild animals that at former Lusaka Province Minister Bowman Lusambo’s Chamba Valley House were acquired legally.
During an operation to seize Mr. Lusambo’s properties, a number of wild animals including Zebras, and Impalas were spotted roaming Mr. Lusambo’s property.
Mr Muhanga said in an interview that Mr. Lusambo purchased most of the said animals from private game ranches and that all the processes were followed.
He said there is nothing illegal in the manner in which Mr. Lusambo acquired the animals.
“We have reviewed all the records and yes it is true that Hon. Lusambo purchased most of them animals from private ranchers with only a few from Impalas Mulungushi International Conference Centre during the translocation to pave way for construction works there and the records are there,” he said.
Mr. Muhanga however pointed out that removing the animals from Mr. Lusambo’s property can only be considered if the property remains unoccupied for a longer period of time.
“We can only say that the animals are at risk when there is no one staying in that House permanently but that matter has not been settled yet so we cannot move in and confiscate the animals right away until the matter is resolved by competent authorities,” he said.
The practice of bringing wildlife into human settlements should be stopped. We’ll end up bringing animal diseases to himaiand vice versa
What were Zebras used for, was he fvcking them?
But that doesnt mean that those animals were NOT acquired by money purpoted to be proceeds of illegal acitivity.
The question of removing the animals, should be whether those animals are being fed and not whether the property is occupied.
Can’t wait to hear where he got the money to buy and build all those things. Problem with Bowman is that he was dishing out money like crazy. And they say stolen money tashumfwisha akaso
Lusambo has loudly invited investigative wings to closely look at him…………
Especially the fact that lusambo was broke 7 years ago before he joined PF………….
His lose mouth , his multimillion dollar property portfolio and extravagant philanthropy of truck loads of food to voters…….
Makes people want to know what successfull business lusambo has…………
He followed procedure to acquire those beasts now the point of how he afforded becomes tricky….. how are you going to know whether the money used was stolen or not. Original impression was that he had used under hand methods to acquire these animals and ACC had organized with authorities to”return” them to Mundawanga Gardens. Maybe after calculating his income subtract the cost of the seized properties he may be allowed to keep the animals.
LETS STOP BEING PETTY HERE
IS HIS PROPERTY LARGE ENOUGH TO ACCOMODATE THESE ANIMALS
IF SO WHY NOT ? EVERY PERSON HAS THE RIGHT TO KEEP WILD ANIMALS IF A LARGE AREA IS AVAILABLE FOR THEM TO ROAM FREELY
HOW HE PAID FOR THEM MAY BE AN ISSUE

Yes , this is more a welfare issue.
Even by african welfare standards , zebras need proper grazing and space areas……..
And very soon he will Join UPND in order to hide and protect his loot and watch how HH’s praise singers will welcome him and give him a red carpet plus a Ministerial post so that he can continue stealing….Zambian Politics stinks
Fuseke fi upnd. Mwanyala. Hard work pays off.
@tikki, no one has the right to imprison an animal. Animals also deserve freedom, that’s why in some countries zoos are banned
And Nalumango flew all way to Kasama to welcome one of the worst Bandits in PF Kelvin Sampa using tax payers money…so PF is slowly rebranding and regrouping joining the likes of Moses Mawere etc…..Kelvin Sampa UNIP,MMD,PF and now UPND…and how is HH going to fight corruption when he is welcoming corrupt individuals like Kelvin Sampa.???? Kelvin Sampa lives an exegerated lifestyle and he cannot survive outside Politics and stealing
Regardless. Money launderers are usually very observant of laws as they wash their dirty cash. Thank you for that explanation, Tourist minders, but no thank you. Azakambila kusogolo anso…
Hmmmm ba Bowman wants to live like a FIRST CLASS MAN when he just a pleb .
Ba Bowman go to school maybe your IQ will improve.
Lusambo keeping wild animals when fails even to keep a goat??
And very soon he will become “chief praise singer”…..Spaka your position is at stake…already you have started competing with Kelvin Sampa now except Kampyongo and Lusambo to be your new HH’s praise singers competitors
Looks like they are mainly going after former MMD defectors to PF than the True Blues. Something must have gone wrong before they split MMD to join PF and UPND
I mean the True Greens
Bowman is just LOW CLASS CITIZEN. He should go to school to increase his IQ. He is copying a lifestyle of high class people of keeping wild animals.
Lusambo doesn’t even have a goat, he just a pleb.
The stolen Money is what is making him misbehave. Wealth gotten hastily disappears in the same way.
