President Edgar Lungu has arrived in Windhoek, Namibia to attend the inauguration of Namibia’s President-elect, Hage Geingob and this country’s 25th Independence Anniversary.
President Lungu arrived this evening by his Challenger Jet around 17:00hrs at Hosea Kutaku International Airport.
He was received at the airport by Member of Parliament, Zambia’s High Commissioner to Namibia, Sylvia Chalikosa, Mr Tjekero Tweya, a Member of Parliament and several government officials from the Zambian High Commission.
The President is accompanied by Foreign Affairs Minister, Harry Kalaba, former Republican President, Rupiah Banda, Special Secretary to the President, Amos Chanda, his special political advisor, Keizer Zulu and other senior government officials.
Speaking to journalist, en-route Country Club Hotel where the President will reside, Mr Lungu appealed to Namibian citizens to reflect where they came from and where they are in terms of politics and appreciate the peace and unity they are enjoying.
Other heads of state and government that have since arrived for the celebrations include Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe and former leaders including Thabo Mbeki the Republic of South Africa.
President Geingob, Namibia’s first Prime Minister, won the presidential elections last November. He will be taking over from President Hefikepunye Pohamba who recently won the prestigious Mo Ibrahim Prize.
His Excellency showing the naysayers he is fit and performing his duties well..
Yes 2020vision has reported..where is larry Mweetwa (aka wanzelu and his satanic cohorts by the names of pretty, anderson chishala and !diot Sido Mark) ?? Where are these scoundrels???
Nomba Ni EL2016!!!!
They are here 2020visionless. Listening to the hungry nchelelebulas of Zambia.
No comment. Abena mantis.
Boy Slow down, your man is sick for real. Don’t set yourself up for big disappointment. Exercise wisdom and refrain from this immature hype
I hope and pray that president Edgar Lungu is not going to collapse in a foreign country and the eyes of the international community.And embarrass the Zambian people.
By the way, I hope he carried coartem to Namibia. We don’t want to hear someone collapsing due to malaria.
Must be nice ka. this jet setting lifestyle. Especially if there’s someone to catch you in case you collapse from a mosquito bite
All the best Mr. President and God bless you and Zambia
Congrats president Geingob. But ,lol,what a tumorous name indeed.
My desire is that the trip be conducted for its own purpose and not as a PR stint. Why should the trip to Namibia evoke sloganeering EL2016? Twenty eight heads of state were invited and those not attending are not making news around it. Those secure in their positions will either fly out and back without media hullalooboo we experienced until socialist regimes of Romania, North Korea…..allow the Preaident to go and take it as normal business of a president.
