President Rupiah Banda is tomorrow expected in Mazabuka where he is scheduled to visit Chief Mwanachingwala at his palace.
This is according to a programme released to ZANIS in Mazabuka by the office of Mazabuka District Commissioner, Tyson Hamaamba today.
The programme indicates that the President will depart Lusaka at 09:00 hours and is expected to arrive at Chief Mwanachingwala’s palace by 10:00 hours.
he would be received by Provincial minister, Daniel Munkombwe, Provincial Permanent Secretary, Darius Hakayobe, Opposition Mazabuka members of parliament and Chief Mwanachingwala’s subjects.
The President will then pay a courtesy call on the other chiefs after which he is expected to interact with the community.
Chief Mwanachingwala has disclosed that all the four chiefs in the district and two from Monze district will attend the meeting with President Banda.
He named the Mazabuka chiefs as Hanjalika, Naluama, Mwenda and those from the neighbouring Monze as senior chief Monze and Chona.
Chief Mwanachingwala said the visit by the head of state at his palace clearly shows how much importance President Banda attaches to the role traditional rulers play in national development.
The chief said in his discussion with President, Banda, he would discuss important issues that affect both his subjects and the nation.
Meanwhile, a thunderous welcome awaits the arrival of President Banda at Chief Mwanachingwala’s palace.
A lot of entertainment activities have been lined up to welcome and entertain the President and his entourage.

The pendulum is swinging from chief to chief. Is that a big brown envelope I see sticking out of RB’s pocket? LOL
b-)
UP IN THE AIR-starring RB
can somebody tell what time do this man stay in office and focus on issues coz he always on the move, why panic? and its even time for campaign Mr RB as it is now, its time work what you promose people when you were campaigning. I guess you gonna promise them a VP to so they vote you and too bad they thier subjects vote.
The man is old and tired. He needs some rest. We have to avoid another tragedy if we care. LM is no more because of such abuse by the so called Campign Strategists.

He has head that people are talking too much about his way of living like christopher Columbus always on discovery now he wants to stay in the country and somehow make the people belive that he cares alot about Zambians, by talking to every chief i wonder how much they are receiving, I hope they will share coz their subordnats might feel left out in sharing the tax payers money
The only time the the man sits in his office is when planning his next trip.The man has no agenda or vision on how to move our country forward.My prayer is he doesnt talk about HH and the Pact in Mazabuka.
That is absolute ignorance on your part guys. Interacting with citizens, chiefs etc to hear and see things for himself, and inspecting projects are all part of a president’s job description and the agenda of a damn good President, nay Statesman. For your information, Presidents do not do the actual digging in the field like you and me. He is a LEADER for God’s sake!
RB is really putting his diplomatic skills to practice. Continue with these interactions, you may change your fate in 2011, who knows what the future holds, maybe you have another term waiting for you or not.
Kunda, disguised shushushu, kuya bebele. Time is ticking, your scholarship will be withdrawn. He is wasting his time with chiefs. THE PACT:d/
is RB campaigning for the MMD convention or for the 2011 elections? i think it will be cheaper to get the chiefs to state house than him going around chiefdomes.
# 5 You are very shallow. When RB attends to international assignments you say he is globe trotting instead of visiting the country side, Now he continues to tour the country and at the same time inspecting and launching projects you are saying he has no time for the office. What is good then for him?? I think the best thing the president should do is to stop listerning to *****s like you. You should be serious when commenting on national issues you fool. Its tool much of this and that rubbish!!!
local tourism is beneficial for countries as it increases forex. good thing that rb has now become a local tourist. filya fi international tourism aye twakana. deuces bane:)>- happy fantatines
sometimes greed can make a man chase the wind. 😮
This guy is serious,he has just won hearts of the critical luapula people now he is attacking southern and you assholes in the so called towns are busy screaming about change. Mwanya watch the rural vote in 2011. RB chamano
#12 and 15, Actually, I hope that it is by design, RB has already done enough international diplomacy. He can now afford to concentrate all his energy and efforts to the people on the ground till election time in 2011. If this is the strategy, I do not see the so-called pact being of any significance. Southern Province is gonna crack manje manje.
# 16 your flag suggests you stay in USA and so i take it you know David Plouffe? RB’s job is not to campaign , he needs to have a guy like David in his office to do that for him. RB’s job is to serve the country and not monkeying around the globe and chiefdoms
Let RB join the frequent flyers programme coz he’s always on the move.He is scared to stay in one place for a long tym coz he might see people’s problems!
Where are the opposition leaders? Shouldn’t they be travelling around the country as well. Would be good to see the two leaders working on a development project together in the rural areas as well as amongst the urban poor. Would be a great photo opportunity as well as a platform to articulate their ALTERNATIVE policies to the MMD.
