PRESIDENT Banda is today expected to leave for South Africa and Mozambique for consultations on a number of issues.
The President’s Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Dickson Jere announced this in a statement issued in Lusaka yesterday.
The President will leave for Maputo via South Africa where he will stop over before proceeding to Mozambique.
President Banda will be accompanied by First Lady Thandiwe Banda, Minister of Energy and Water Development Kenneth Konga, and other Government officials.
President Banda is current chairperson of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation.
He took over the position from Mozambican President Armando Emilio Guebuza.
President Banda will return to Lusaka immediately after completing his scheduled business in Mozambique.

high flier!!!!
Did he miss the UN General Assembly currently in session?
When the Mozambican leader was expected in Chipata recentlyfor the railway line commisioning he choose to go to Kenya for a ceremonial event.Make your own conclusion.
This country cant AFFORD THIS KIND OF EXPENDITURE
Ladies and Gentlemen what is happening to RB Kansi? When do we expect Amando Guebuza the Mozambican President to come to Zambia?
I need your comment you Useless MMD BOOTLICKER Jst now
preparing for his final departure from state house, he needs to go with all the allowances hes gaining now.
i did not go to the UN because he has no agender to present to them. moreover he was not called because they knew he will offer nothing.
Consultations with the wife.Awe sure we are in trouble indeed!
There goes again…..Vasco Da Banda…!
WASNT HE IN MOZAMBIQUE JUST AFEW WEEKS AGO? WASN’T IT IN MOZAMBIQUE WHERE THERE WERE FOOD RIOTS LAST WEEK? WHATS THERE IN MOZAMBIQUE THAT BIGGIE MPUNO HAS TO TRAVEL TO EVERY OTHER WEEKEND? ITS KAMWENDO PANJILA FO-SURE!!!!
Some one needs to visit that ka wife of his while he is away i don’t think this guy gives it to her since he is always on the move the girl should be very really lonely.
I thought dad had stopped the travelling games.
On this trip he has taken wifey next trip it will be Dora.
But u gotta give this dude credit. he endured and stuck around in the country for a whole week! Thats an achievement. :d
So, the man has run out of countries to visit, he is doing round two now. Just 3 weeks ago, this man was in Mozambique, and need we count how many times he has flown to SA? Surely, why can’t State House purchase video conferencing facilities? And how come it is always RB who is travelling? His counterparts rarely visit him, and yet he is always on the move. One of these days, this man will be chased for overstaying his welcome. Shame on him for always running away from problems at home!
Another $2million down the drain
Mobile President.No wonder is in full support of mobile hospitals. Sounds more like a comedy!!
Ladies and gentlemen, this is just plain madness now, just how can this man do this to us? And just note how open ended this statement is “President Banda will return to Lusaka immediately after completing his scheduled business in Mozambique”
RB! Keep on travelling thus how development will come to zambia. Forget these irrational comment.
# 19. with that name who expects you 2 talk sense, Development takes more than jus travelling around to come.
OMG!
Enjoy your trip His Excellency RB, President of Republic of Zambia.
Nobody would doubt that the man is certainly not at peace with himself and is spending sleepless nights panicking, rying to figure out what will happen when time to leave State House comes. Most likely, he goes to these neighbouring countries to hide whatever he plunders through deals like the recent ZAMTEL sale. He could be buying property, or investing in companies there, and stuff like that, as a way of hiding away the stolen loot.
alla bee asks…eeeh Dick! Dick! Jere!!! Nikuni Ku chalo kunikaliyo kuya…Dickson..hmmm Boss you hv visited all the countries, I will fire you, you dont want me to travel?Ooh sori boss, Its Mozambique.alla bee – thandy Tiyeni mweo ku mozambique.
Ladies and Gentlemen, HERB is merely going round to check on the progress of developmental projects the Party and its Government stated in SA and Mozambique Constituencies. Mind you erections are just a few moons away and it is extremely important that the Commander-In-Chief wins the support of every voter.
@24 Teacher, thats salty of you! our country is being managed by other neighbouring countries presidents-why so much consultations when he has been in the diplomatic atmosphere for almost his whole life? We may be sold away slowly,state house inayenda kudala

No, this is now too much!!!
uko Kamwendo munjila
I hope the Aircraft is regularly serviced!! I rest my case!!!
I thought ala B was in Maputo recently. Kafikenipo tata.
No wonder HE needs a physical trainer.That knee may fall apart climbing up and down ramps to the aircraft on a daily basis.There must be something he is afraid of in State House.
#30,
It’s probably serviced while up in the skies because that’s where it belongs.
I have a theory for RB’s chiye ye ye. He is only able to mobilize an e.r.c***n at high attitude. Something to do with the ‘G-force’ sensation. But off, course it soon wears off and becomes limp again when he has been on the ground for a while – hence the need to re-energise by concocting further excuses to be in the sky.
We have been saying ‘its now too much’ for a long time. What are WE going to do about it? RB has
shown is tongue to everyone who has criticised his travels and bared his ‘you know what’ to every Zambian.
Mr. Tourist! Oh sorry, Mr. Tourism! Be warned Zambia tourism for the next five years? Vote Mr. Sata!
Why is it that only you people in foriegn land are the only ones that complain on his travels and not the people who in Zambia. Just leave him alone, after all he is leading the country good. Imwe tuma pf cadres should just watch and maybe sort out your pact problems first.
#36 ba Easterner ikalenifye, the reason why we are vocal is because there is freedom of speech mu diaspora, in Zed you can get arrested for airing your concerns on the Presido’s innuendos
# 34 remember that ka old song ati “chilye lye lye uleke”? in RB’s case its “Chiye ye ye uleke”. Awe kwena ni ba minister of Travel and Tourism
Question : Who discovered travelling?
Answer: Vasco da Banda
oooops
Can someone tell me the average trips Head of states make especially those in the region? This might just give us some kind of yardstick to base our thoughts on? I for one have no Idea how many trips these guys are supposed to make outside of their country. Jacob Zuma is also not at the UN assembly but some representative has been sent there. The reason is that the ANC is have some meeting in Durban.
If you have friends and you are the only one that shows up at their homes or even call them, you should know that you have no friends or they really cannot just tell you that they do not want your friendship. That is Banda.
#4 when it is your money,it is expenditure,when its other people’s money it is investing time and energy for “consultations”After all leaders are more powerful role models when they learn than when they teach
