The planned wedding of Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa with his fiance Nchimunya has raised health safety concerns in the Covid-19 environment that the country is operating in.
Yesterday Mr. Sampa posted online that after much consultations Woodlands Stadium will be the venue for his Wedding and invited all the Lusaka, saying entrance will be free as people come dressed smartly, with an offer of free food and alcohol.
Despite the concerns raised, the organizers of L December 26th wedding have moved in quickly to assure the public that safety and security measures will be top on the agenda of the planning process.
Organising Committee member Kelvin Kaunda said that these elements will be necessary as the wedding will host thousands of people from Lusaka and surrounding areas including those in the diaspora at the Woodlands stadium.
Mr Kaunda said that, already planners are working with the public health department at the Lusaka City Council to ensure that covid 19 regulations are followed strictly.
The wedding has raised health safety concerns but the music concert didn’t, strange uhuh!?!
Kasali Matipa haphazard way of doing things in Zambia
Kasali Matipa I think the man deserves to be left alone to do his personal events. Fi jealous nama double standards fye! It’s infectious.
Danny Kasase Chalwe I agree!
Miles should have waited to August next year, unless my ex-Nchimunya is pregnant.
HH will attend, but Edgar won’t.
The opening of flyover bridges there is no health concern but weddings yes
Ma fontini chabe ba Miles, you want to cause a riot. Remember how your cadres where fighting for food with diplomats at state house? Now you have invited the whole lusaka…kikiki
Reasoning yama authorities ilapapusha mwe. They treat us like children. There were no health concerns for the concert but wedding yena okoyali? Smh
What about those chimpani mobilization rallies on the Copperbelt. Whose at more risk of contracting the corona virus
Stupid idiot
Kwisa naimwe ikaleni fye. Fima super spreader rallies fya ba PF tamulanda po.
Don’t you think he beat you already to the game by the Kopala Musicians festival he hosted under similar Circumstances? He’s too smart for that and is cognizant of such negatives. Your Worship, the Mayor of the city of Lusska.
Miles Sampa.
There needs to be some responsibility on the part of social media users. How does someone invite the entire country to a wedding during a pandemic. In as much as I love miles as a brother, i think he needs help with how he uses social media. He lacks the maturity. In such cases I would recommend that he employs a PR specialist to assist him. We have all used these specialists in the past to help.
And yes, I have not been invited to the wedding but that does not mean I cannot give an objective comment like the Facebook clown Simon mwewa
Health concerns, but be PF mobilisation rallies don’t raise health concerns……?
By the way, as a close friend, I am proud of chimmy. Happy and proud to see her settle down. Marriage is a blessing. As a person who knows her well, I can vouch that she will make the perfect wlfe. Congrats chimmi-li-cious xxx
Miles Sampa for PF President, I think he can do better than the current. I am a staunch PF supporter but hereby surrendering that we have failed. There is NO money in peoples pockets. So what are we doing still ruling, we should have even resigned on our own
The public must come with an offer of free food and alcohol. Really?
First, why is alcohol mandatory? Some example from the mayor. Second, think of the dangers eating food brought by random strangers to a stadium. Never mind the health risks of COVID-19, that’s far more scary! Is it even legal?
My advice? Just stay home.
Or, if you must go… perhaps bring a case or two of mustard to coordinate with the couple’s “smart” outfits? His worship could get drunk on free alcohol, spill mustard on himself, and you’d never know. Perfect!
Tow fyapena
Sam Chirwa those people are just jealous,they don’t want us to attend,nga Kopala experience,there was no issue there???
Tow they’re sipping on some haterade..
coolay,got nothing on that beverage!!
OK
Iyo ni pull him down
Bwana leav our mayor of zambia alon iwe
Mwasuminisha ChandA na kay.. Ama bars are ever open and u want to touch our mayor? Leave him alone
Leave Miles alone mufya bupuba .he is above pet talk
At first I had a lot of mixed feelings about Miles, but now I think he is a good guy trying to do good amidst a hostile environment. I hope this wedding will go on smoothly without ifyabupuba.
Miles will be feeding Lusaka but failing to pay maintenance for his children. These are the priorities of people who want to lead Zambia. This is the typical Zambian mentality of showing off designer clothes when there is no toilet paper in the house and four children sleep on one bed sharing a blanket that reeks of urine. The same mentality goes on when they become presidents. Tarred road from city to woodlands but no road from maize belt to the markets, Jet for presidential journeys, but no meals for students, toyota V6s for ministers, but no desks for pupils….
Fyabupuba ma jealous che
Ala ine my concern is not only health safety but where do PF members get so much wealth as to organise free wedding parties? Sampa hasnt been in the Mayor’s office long enough to be dishing out free for all food. Elyo a Sampa instead of spending so much on cakes why not buy three garbage trucks and donate them to Lusaka residents? The city is very dirty
Dr Guyscot wanted to give us a gonger president ifilimba too much!
Miles I will come for the wedding, just tell us the truth, who told you to go borrow kaloba and sign those Eurobonds. Was it this same guy who has failed lamentably. Imwe sure, kuli currency kuchita depreciate by 52% in a single year, ninshi leader alikuti
What kind of stupidity is this??? Miles needs to grow up. He still has a long way am afraid.
Grabon disaster would have been more befitting for the future PF running mate.
There was that Chanda na Kay function at Woodlands stadium todate people who attended are COVID 19 free why majealous pa wedding of our town of this mayor ohh sorry Mayor of of the City of Lusaka?
Jealous pipo
Those health concerns are selective
Bayambako confusion,Kano nganibena
Elizabeth Chileshe Bwalya Makasa
Imagine ayi Bana Chambula.
This is ours ?? covid or no covid we are doing it your president is all-over Zambia campaigning are there no healthy guidelines for him
Kano nga ebo,unless if it was a football game?????
Let the mayor alone we are going for the wedding we shall mask up
For once I totally agree with Kaizer Zulu. A wedding is a good thing but it should be a private ceremony only with close friends and relatives. It is not necessary to invite the entire city. Just inviting chaos. Anyway do it your way. It is your big day afterall. All the best!
I do not understand this ba Mile The Mayor. To start with not too long ago he was saying he could not afford child support and maintenance for his ex-wife. However, the man invites all of Lusaka to a wedding. Is it Nchimunya sponsoring the wedding or there will be a miracle worker to turn water at woodlands stadium into alcohol and possibly sand into food to feed Lusaka. Who are you trying to impress Ba Miles jsu look after your cash and educate your children and make your new wife happy. It will be a waste of money if you decide to find another lady in future.
