    • Good work where and what is impressive?
      The only thing was shedding tears at funeral, she looked like she used to be 3years ago.

    • The young girl needs professional treatment NOT a wheel-chair.

      She urgently needs Physiotherapy for her CELEBRAL PALSY.

  1. Thanks Esther although you have been a let down first lady who had failed to advise your husband over the evils he has committed to the opposition; hope your Foundation will continue after Lungu leaves office; but I doubt if it will; Condolences to the Kasonde family;

  2. All previous first ladies foundations have gone to sleep or died once they exited from state house and this one too will go to sleep or die

    • These are foundations that are NOT built on solid foundations. They are unsustainable because they “give people fish instead of teaching them to fish”.

    • They masquerade as charities but are essentially tuntemba fye for the president’s wife to also benefit from state money. That’s why they don’t last after their husbands leave office. But Zambians are used to being suckered so this isn’t something to worry about. This one will definitely fade away as soon lungu vacates office and the next first lady will immediately start another charity that will commence the milking of money from the state.

    • The foundation never dies. It is inherited by the current First Lady under a different name and priorities. Funding comes from the same pocket. Only hands differ.

  3. So what we are saying is that these so called “First Lady’s” foundations are obvious with no doubt based on government coffers tee! It is a shame that they all end up once their hubbies leave state house, maybe they are also based on governance terms.

  4. Did you ever see Maureen shedding tears at any funeral house. Ma diva balya. Awe Mayo ba Esther mwalosha mwe!!!
