President Rupiah Banda has urged youths in the country to remain focused and use their talents to the best of their ability.
President Banda urged young people to embrace the spirit of hard work and productivity adding that this is what will move the country forward.
Mr Banda said the future of this country is dependent on the younger generation who are expected to take the country to higher heights through various avenues.
He was speaking at a luncheon hosted in honour of the 2010 M-Net face of Africa winner Lukundo Nalungwe at State House yesterday.
President Banda also advised Nalungwe to plan properly for the money she won from the competition.
Mr Banda also honoured her with a VIP status in Zambia and thanked the sponsors and urged them to continue sponsoring young ladies in the modeling industry.
And First Lady Thandiwe Banda said the country is endowed with a talented and knowledgeable population whose intellectual capital needs to be harnessed in the social economic and scientific fields.
Mrs Banda said Nalungwe’s victory in the competition has opened new doors in her modeling career, which will propel her on to the global stage.
She hoped that the M-net face of Africa Winner will serve as a true Zambian and ambassador to inspire other Africans especially young women.

Nalungwe, can I be your boyfriend for now, please?
She deserves It. Rock it girl!
Daisy, how are you?
She just have to watch out for people like Bwezani. He knows how to prey ngensato.:)>-
I am Very well thanks capitol Hill, how are you china? Long time nhuh, i hardly come around anymore.
Ok nice that bwezani is able to tap the untaped talent or recognise it if i can put it that way 😕
Since when is being beautiful a talent? Beauty is not a talent! Rewarding someone for just being beautiful is questionable here! What has she accomplished? Honoured? Jesus Christ Come & See!!!
Miss Daisy also has a winning face
Mmm, lets see? I agree with you Bulasa. Beauty will never be a talent. …but hey wait a minute i think i can tap the untapped talent in Miss Daisy’s face.
Wining a competition like the M-Net Face of Africa has fa more to do than physical beauty. The competition and adjudication was held over a period of six months in which the contestants where subjected to numerous tasks and test in which overall Lukundo emerged overall winner. If it was based on beauty only anyone who watched the final gala would agree with me that she was not the most beautiful of the 10 finalists if we go by conventional beauty. So for having excelled in all the other task to come out tops she needs to be commended
What Id like to know is what is the VIP status that the President conferred on her? What are the privileges that come with it and who else has been conferred this owner by the President?
# 7 indeed it is talent coz it involves some skills like swinging the hips in a certain fashion while maintaining a good smile(need good teeth for that),which any common janet and maggy cant do.:-?
Zambians lets learn to congratulate and not hate. The girl won hands down. A profession is a profession so stop spitful comments. I think as a nation we should look at how some Aisans are so united. Come to UK, or anywhere in the world, you will see how Aisans encourage each other. If one is in business they usually buy products from another Aisan to also help him boost his business- they are united like that. Nomba come to Africans, Zambians crab mentality all the way round. Some even lose sleep just to bring another person down because of intense jealousy. If you cant love you fellow countrymen which nationality are you going to love? Which nationality will love your fellow county men on your behalf?
Its is really sickening to see – yes #7 and 9 am talking to you!
And beauty can be a talent like #12 has said. Not everyone can pose or hold certain poses while maintainin a beautiful facial expression. Open any fashion mag and attempt to strike poses like the models in there and try to look hallf as beautiful. Am a graphic designer and photographer so I know how much of a challenge am talking about here and how hard our work would be without beautiful talented models.
Go Lukundo!!:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/:d/<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p<:-p Dont listen to the :-@:-@:-@:-@
iye imwe DAISY!!!!1 AWE IYE IWE KA BABY IYE! I HAVE MISSED YOU. ALIKWISA MATWORLD? IYE IWE MUNTU IWE! AWE I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT. I AM A CHANGED MAN. THIS LADY DAISY IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CHANGES ME AND MAKES ME BECOME A BETTER PERSON PA BLOGG. AH NALIVATEMWA BA DAISY. AHHH. DEUCES :)>-
Zikomo/thanks #13……..well said. :)>-
#13, you´ve got it all wrong, again!
Lukundo Nalungwe must be congratulated for having won the competition, no doubt about that.
My question was about this “President Rupiah Banda has urged youths in the country to remain focused and use their talents to the best of their ability.” Is beauty a talent? You could have, at least, tried to explain like #10 has done to make the “honouring” convincing instead of labeling my mentality and accusing me of hatred and jealousy. Peace!
RB is back hunting again. that monkey cursed him with a disease.and now he cant keep away from avayiche. lukundo use your head, why would you want to go and have lunch with an old man who last week was saying that he liked small girls when at school that he was a player (hahaha everytime he said that i farted while laughing). anyways there are always real men like walai waiting for you. younever know love is love. wawumfwa ka lukundo? deuces mune:)>-
numba 17.. chikopo sana. is it just beauty or also modelling.. which involves walking in a systematic way etc.. wake up! deuces wawumfwa?:)>-
But walai wintunka but just how old are you?
RB is always a cheer leader. He loves leisure activities- eating, talking trash, girlfriends. Why can he tackle real issues affecting the economy and development? Next on a trip to the great dragon! Congrats Lukondo anyways!
Mwaiche Lukundo becareful, ni RB uyo. Ask Thandiwe and she will tell you. Ba RB mulekeni umwana wa bene. Bu suga dadi ubu ala bubi.
number 20, ifyo fya age is a personal issue. do i know u mune? im a married man wawumfwa? i know my wife is going through some issues but i hear its common for avasungu avanakashi to behave like that. we are planning on having a baby soon. so sorry mune wawumfwa? but i can keep you pa rebound list. dont worry fya age ifyo.. ni tanker which is important. kuti nakulya wayisa wa fenta pa last. deuces :)>-
Bulasa if you read post #10 and 14 you will find an answer to your queries. If you would also like to know more about how beauty can be and is indeed a talent watch shows like America’s next top model etc. Everyone is beautiful but it is how you can use that beauty especially in the fashion industry that makes it a talent. There many stunning jobless models not cus they are not pretty enough but they dont know how to use there features ie walk, talk, pose, personality, style etc which rolls up the whole package in a model worldwide AKA beauty + all the said features = yes Beauty is a talent! It is not just about having a pretty face and been tall.

# 34, this Walai whatever your name is please,if you do not have anything to write, why dont you just read what others are writing and do not write things without sense please. Please not everyone is interested in your comments. This is not the place for chating , go on facebook or some where else please. I wonder what problems you have with people. Thanks and i do not mean to hate your feelings, it is just that we are or am tired of your comments that do not help. Sorry
hello number 36 ba bwalya. i can see you have woken up at the wrong side of the bed. mune, this is a public or rather international forum, which means any one from wny where can blogg and write what they want to, so long as it does not go against the commenting policies of LT, so mune, i dont understand why you are finding me to be a prblem when all you can do is skip my comments whenever you see my name. what i think is that you are just really curious as to what i have written, its not hard to ignore some, just as i am goin to ignore you now, watch and learn. deuces you ka bad tempered bwanlnya.:)>-
Frankly mii daisy you are cute. don’t you think you should be contesting as well.
Uhmmmmmmmmm? 😮 Watch out Lukando for for Hungry Lions with big bellies:)>-
