UPND ward councilor for Magoba , Buumba Malambo ( at 25 ,she is the youngest councilor in Zambia) shared the following on her official Facebook page:
“we young people will move our Beautiful country Zambia to a legacy fit for our children and children’s children it is our responsibility to cut part of the national cake.
Weeks ago I posted pictures of me representing the African young women and girls at the first ever Women’s parliament in Seychelles… I was shocked when I saw some comments stating that My fellow comrade my hardworking big sister Tasila Lungu among many who where pointed out would have been the best representatives, others even went as far as inboxing me insulting me stating that I wasn’t fit to travel to Seychelles and they listed people they felt deserved that opportunity, then I remembered that:
After elections i saw a lot and still see a lot of harmful comparisons on social media between me and President Lungu’s daughter Tasila LUNGU and i wasn’t surprised because the world is conditioned to think women only compete and never support each other.
Weeks ago when we met at the National Female Councilors Conference in Lusaka organised by Zambia National Women’s Lobby (Official Pages) before we even greeted we laughed about it and discussed how we can not only make our charities grow but also work together on a large scale,above all share ideas on how we shall improve the lives of our people in our wards as elected Councillors.
Am proud of all the female councillors representing what our future will look like we may just be over 100 female councilors across the country compared to over 1000 male councillors but we are making strides because at some point in the past we had not even one female councilor representing the women by the way some councils still have 16 male councillors without even one female councilor in the council chamber.
I know I may not be the best but I have created a legacy for myself, my family and the children who will be born from me. I also believe I have opened doors for other women to know that it doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from and who you know, because destiny is no Respector of man it chooses even the least person.
Am proud to be born in such an era and a beautiful country like Zambia where my wings can not be cut off……
Growing together ………
Inspire someone today……. Today is your day….believe in yourself…..”
Whats wrong with Tasila, is she sick?
Why not send her to Hungary or Mongolia on feeding I
The one in yellow doesn’t seem to agree with you Buumba.
Well Said Young Buumba, No one should Intimidate you, actually both of you with Talisa and many other Young Zambians (Millennials). Born after 1990 should aim to be MPs, We are sick and tired of the old unproductive thieves who thinks with their Tummies and Big Bellies.
As young Zambians, never look at which political party you belong?? But what you can all jointly do for your poor communities. Be real agents of social change, show the OLD papas and Mamas like the DORAs, Nkandu Luos that you mean business and for the best of our country. KEEP IT UP AND WELL DONE.
After a well thought out piece, from a brilliant young lady, those of foul fruit had to open their mouths. Please go and seat somewhere.
If UPND had more leaders like her, Zambia would have a viable opposition.
Everything Buumba say

Kikiki Surprised that Mushota never commented. These girls are above her and for sure she is killing herself with anger?? As she only depends on her white old Grandpa she calls husband. Busy at his bedside as she waits to inherit his wealth. Looking at his death certificate as her PHD she claims to have..
well done young lady and keep it up. that is the right way to go. Ignore the ignoramouses posting rubbish. Just remember empty vessels make the most noise. BRAVO
You have a good attitude young lady. You will go far. Let your actions speak on your behalf.
Just some free advice – do not take baits on Social media trying to characterising you. It comes with territory. Teti upumemo.
So the next time I hear about you, it should be about something positive you have done in your role. Make sure you educate yourself well, and master the tools you need in your chosen career.
@Nose demon, how old are you?
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Wonderful picture. Young people should resist being contaminated by the tribal politics of our politicians. Whether Tonga, Lozi, Kaonde, Bisa, Lala, Sala, Lenje, Mambwe, Bemba, Nsenga, Chewa, we are one great people. It is one thing we should all realise. There might be some evil minded people within these groups, but there are more good people within them. Let us all realise this and appreciate what a lovely people we are.
That’s we used to live until the year 2006
This was the case until Sata and then Lungu started their tribal nonsense. Now we cannot run away from it. Why should somebody be Bemba or a Wako to get a job in govt?
The faces in the picture don’t agree. One seems to be forced to smile. But keep up the good works ladies.
Zambia when are we going to grow up. Hate is for children. Let’s help and support each other. Councillor Buumba and Ms Lungu thank you for showing us the way
Young councillor pliz continue with your vision.
Well spoken Coucillor Buumba, yes it is time to allow young females to work side by side with men, but with capability. Go on my sister and serve mother Zambia and humanity.
