President Edgar Lungu has arrived in Harare, Zimbabwe for a one-day official visit.

The President arrived at Harare International Airport aboard the Presidential Challenger Jet at 10:00 hours and was received by Zimbabwean Vice President Emmerson Munangagwa, Foreign Minister Simbarashe Mumbengegwi and Zambia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Harry Kalaba.

Others were Zambia’s High Commissioner to Zimbabwe Ndiyoyi Mutiti, senior officials from the Zimbabwean government and some members of staff from the Zambian Embassy in Harare.

The President is accompanied by his Special Assistant for Press and Public Relations Amos Chanda and Kaizer Zulu, the President’s Special Assistant for Political Affairs.

President Lungu was driven to Meikles Hotel in Harare city centre soon after his arrival.

According to the official programme released to the Zambian media by the embassy, President Lungu is expected to hold official talks with his Zimbabwean counterpart Robert Mugabe this morning at State House.

Mr. Lungu will also attend a state luncheon that will be hosted in his honour by President Mugabe soon after the official talks.

President Lungu is expected to return to Lusaka later in the afternoon.

This is the second international assignment that President Lungu is undertaking since his inauguration on January 25 as Zambia’s sixth republican President.

President Lungu was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia last week where he attended the ordinary session of the African Union at which he also gave his maiden speech.

  1. This is what we suspected, backward deals
    He hasnt even made his cabinet and he goes on Holiday and to visit a tyrant?

    He is not up to the job people. He is out of his depth

    Thanks
    BB2014

    • We entirely support the visit your Excellency. Clean up the mess both in Government hospitals, Government Agents and institutions that will make your Government deliver serious development now and beyond 2016 to the expectations of your people. Zambia is not just Lusaka and am sure you are more than informed that a lot of people did not support your effort when it mattered most and these should not pretend to be good to you toady simply because you are now in State House.

      There are many young men and women who were with you through hard times whilst most big bwanas in higher offices had their legs in two camps and supporting your enemies.

      This is time to reflect and put your devoted and loyal team to work.

      God bless you your Excellency.

    • That was really woza-woza dance from Edgar Lungu, he joined in the “mukwofe, kabasikolo” Zimbabwean dance….. only to be pulled away by his body-guard!!

    • The president is on a working holiday. Period !

      Edgar is better off taking 2-3 weeks to form a team, than appoint people who will not perform or deliver. Its shows that he is seeking wisdom and reflecting

      With all the mighty structure of the US government. It took Bill Clinton more than 5 months to form his entire government. Obama also went through the same time scale.

      Its not like Edgar has gone to just rest and disconnect from the reality of governing – he went with his team & advisors.

      Besides, he is entitled to have a break. Every year, the sitting president is scheduled to take a working-holiday at this precise time & month.

      I am not for PF – but guys like Alias Chipimo – need to try something else to score political gains.

    • This guy has character, pizzaz, energy, brains and passion….

      We finally have a winner!!!!!

      Go Zambia GO!!!!!!

      Thanks
      BB 2015

    • Zimbabwe?? Wrong start Old school Lungu?? I am sure he had Vodka on board landed drunk?? OMG Zambia has gone to the Dogs, cheap and full of nonsense.

      I question this leadership Nonsense.

      Zambians are to blame. we wil go backward just like zimbabwe, a country isolated becoz of the Old fo.olish president called Grand pa Mugabe.

      Lungu better behave becoz he will not rig 2016. deliver and stay in power or be a short term president.. HH2016 is waiting..

    • Zimbabweans missed a chance when Mugabe tripped on that carpet, they should have kept him DOWN.

      Now, if only African presidents could do less dancing and more work……

    • Iwe Mr. Mushota,
      even Obama and Cameron have to deal with the Chinese President, with all the poor human rights record that China has.

      Stop your baseless criticism.

    • Like the dancing president in South Africa who has achieved nothing…

      I think Africa needs to be colonised again

    • If one can find a friend in Mugabe, he leaves a lot to be desired. Mugabe is no good mentor for a leader in the 21st century. EL please find better leaders to associate with. Look at Botswana and its leader, that is were you should be taking foreign policy. Sad indeed that you find it fit to be dinning with Mugabe.

    • There goes Lungu a Zambian president without a plan. He is in Zimbabwe to consult his mentor Mugabe on how to run Zambia and constitute his cabinet then turn it like Zimbabwe.

      Lungu is Mugabe ‘s proxy via RB.

      The real president of Zambia now is Mugabe. Mugabe is really a very powerful man.

      The down side of Lungu ‘s association with Mugabe is that, Zambia will now be considered an investment risk country like Zimbabwe. Investors will start withdrawing their investment from Zambia until a sane government which will have no dealings with Mugabe takes over.

      FDI has completely dried up all because of Lungu and PF ‘s courting of the evil dictator Mugabe.

      With PF in power, Zambians at home muzanya manzi.

      Ati Lungu is a president of Zambia my foot!

    • Indeed we still have too much lack of reasoning.

      Its not about comparing Obama/Clinton to Lung. Unless if one person is simply very think to grasp the analogy, being stated.

      This is about forming a running government and what time it takes to assemble a team.

      As time after time that person seem to be the most person getting ridiculed every single day. If I was that person, I would really look into my mirror seriously.

      Are we still aborting babies with Nick. Please get a life and divert your voice of frustration/anger/ hate/ to some other source.

      I don’t support PF, but the people chose their leader. We support him or get out from the affairs of Zambia.

    • @ ?Mfuwe Game meat

      Stop this plagiarism iwe. Your post number 1.1 is my original work and I see that you have edited what I included in my posting. The President needs to clean up the Parastatals period!
      Many top guys never supported the President but the opposition and only started to align themselves with H.E. when it was apparent that he would win the elections.

      Most of them had their legs in two camps and the President must/or should be made aware of this ’cause history may just repeat itself if left unchecked.
      They also aligned themselves with some Ministers that the President has since reappointed and others. These are no different from the likes of Munkombwe except that they wanted to “eat” from PF and the opposition.

    • IMWE BAFI…LA MULELANDA ATI KAUNDA NALILAPO, NALILAPO – NIPAMBALE? NIPAMBALE? ALA LEKENI UMUNENU ABOMBEKO NOKULILAPO ALILEPO!!!!

    • Mugabe’s rigging formula works. It worked for Edgar Lungu. It’s the reason why making this courtesy call on the man who gave him the presidency on a silver platter is that urgent for Edgar Lungu. It could not wait. The statement is up in the sky for all to read – just in case there are still any doubting Thomas’s.

    • @ ?Secret Code, the president needs to clean government institutions as most bwanas supported his enemies.

      There legs were in two camps, which the community observed.

      What is you ethical propaganda iwe?

    • Clinton, Bush and Obama took the time it did to appoint their cabinet because of the grilling the nominees face before ratification thus it can not be compared to ours where as soon as the appointment is made the nominee takes office immediately!

    • Zambia president has really gone low .. Zimbabwe has know currency what will Zambia gain . That’s why barlostland agreement is not valid anymore , we are tired with useless people in power . Been a soldier sucks , lungu been your commder in chef of the armed forces ?? Plz we can do better

    • President Lungu will be given another nickname apart from Vodka ,This man seems to be taking the job of president lightly.He is a joke.Zambia needs a president who can solve a paradox of “in a land of plenty natural resources ,why is poverty so high”.HH2015 presidential Debate.He needs to appoint high comissioners who will promote what HH called”Economic diplomas”.Lungu needs to run a pro poor Government with emphasis on Education,as HH puts it “education is the greatest Equaliser”.He needs to create unity through a Zambia United approach.I SIDO MARK know only HH is the answer.

    • @ pretty

      Mwashibukeni! What next my brother now that FlightHH2015 crashed in the deep waters never ever known and chances to recover any debris is next to none.

      Ifintu ni ECL in 2016 and beyond. Just swallow your pride and get on board now.

    • We entirely support the visit your Excellency.

  2. indeed it makes me happy to see my president Happy. from shame to glory , indeed you are an amazing God for you lift up the humble. best of luck my president and have fun, you deserve it.

  3. BIRDS OF THE SAME FEATHERS FLOCK TOGETHER! MUGABE AND LUNGU HAVE A LOT OF SIMILARITIES. BOTH ARE HEARTLESS, ARE CROOKS, ARE SEGREGATION, ARE POMPOUS, ARE VINDICTIVE, ARE LOOTERS, ARE THIEVES, ARE POWER HUNGRY, ARE SCHEMERS, IMPOSE THEMSELVES ON THE PEOPLE, THEY ARE BOTH JUST BAD INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CARELESS IN MANAGING THE ECONOMY OF THE NATION. LUNGU HAS GONE TO ZIMBABWE JUST TO WASTE OUR MONEY, AND NOT TO ADD VALUE TO OUR COUNTRY. WITH LUNGU IT’S ANOTHER WASTE!

    • All those attributes sit well on one Hakaivotela Heka.. May be you were describing your man.. He is the one managing privatization who’s effects are well known.He is 4sure heartless..

  4. We entirely support the visit your Excellency.

    • These Zimbabwean leaders, Robert Mugabe, Emmerson Munangagwa and the whole lot of them, are among the worst and the dirtiest in the world. It surprises me that they are Mr. Lungu’s acclaimed friends.

  5. Humility, meekness but coupled with firmness and wisdom. Good qualities in Mr Lungu, some just don’t have this combination in character. Viva Lungu

    • @ Kudos
      Especially in HH that combination is absent apart from a very cold face with red eyes!

  6. Our president, EL must be very careful with bashikulu Chikwanda the way he is handling the economic affairs of this nation. This man has no single mandate of the people of Zambia since he is just nominated by the president. So, him has nothing to lose. Our president has already spoken on the way forward with the mines on new mine taxes. But we all surprised he is still coming out on the same. He is still provoking the investors. This guy should shut up. I think he must be removed for he is saving no purpose.

  7. Dont worry, In 2016 We shall clean all this corrupt deals Lungu,RB and Mugabe are signing…

    Internation community hated Zambia because of our relationship with Robert ‘Chagwa’ Mugabe.

    Soon and very soon Zambians shall know the truth.

    • Alot of nonsense, only post when familier with the subject. Your sponsors will understand you were blank being the reason you didn’t blog..

  8. And Chawama still basking in filthy water…Lungu sipping champagne at Meikles hotel in Harare.please why can’t 2016 be tomorrow? We are already fade up with this Lungu Lungu with no vision president.

    • You have no voter base and you can never win an election. HH should retire and UPND should cease being tribal

  9. Mpombo wibilima ababilima tabaya. Edgar take your time in forming your cabinet.Remember speed kills. Those who rush end up crushing

  10. Well, what can we say, he is being told wrong things. They were together in Addis for AU and why not kill two birds with one stone there. If he listens to Mugabe too much, he will head in the wrong direction. With Mugabe, you have to use a long spoon when dinning with him.

  11. Lungu should thank ireen mambilima and this allien isaacs prisla who assisted him with votes stealing he wount have travelled miles to other countries.Mugabe whom he befriends is a ferrocious jigaboo he is a bitter dictator!!!!!!!!!! lungu will whimper he will gnash his teeth for stealing votes from HH to cuase anarchy in the nation.look now he says he is on holiday but travells to mugabe to learn how to become a polutant not a leader.wait and see you will learn an unforgetable lesson.Lungu’s English is not fluent i think even at AU summiteers were wondering what kind of a president zambians have.Please pf organise a tutor for this lungu who will teach him English fluencyn he is a shame to zambia’s history.

    • @ muzimo
      You were not a Presidential candidate so just shut the f**k up! You think with the kind of desperation HH has he would have let it go? With the likes of SACCORD, TIZ and your MUVI TV involved in PVT and rigging took place, he still would have let it go! HH just lost clean and am yet to resign…read my blog name! You moron, a bitter one too!

  12. @16 muzimo,


    Stolen Votes, Stolen Votes..
    Ah eeh!, Stolen Vote!

    Stolen Votes, Stolen Votes..
    Ah eeh!, Stolen Vote!

    The above song was compose by Mazoka.
    It was sang by the late Sata.
    Now, It has become a HIT under HH.

    They can patent this song, so that the composer’s family can benefit through loyalties.
    Not a situation where every politician who comes just sings without paying loyalties.

  13. Any one who voted for a drunkard is mentally disturbed.

    How on Earth can someone with a level headed mind vote for the Kachasu Man.

    No please ba Zambia we should be very serious with what we do to our country.

    • @UNPD…
      …leave Jane alone to express herself freely…..I’m sure Jane may not even have met Edgar in person or ever witnessed him empting glasses…but they say if you want to know how a hippo leave and behaves in the river as the crocodile….if Masebo who used to rub shoulders with Edgar would go on a platform and say such…who is Jane not to….??…who knows may be the 90% of the 52% who did not vote for him did that because of the same reason Jane is saying….

  14. We shall take all PF left overs in 2016. 2016 is not far from now.

    We shall also try Nkombo on UPND presidential ticket.

  15. ouch!One stone faced politician can not dance and it has itched his supporters all over their “A” hole! Suddenly the losers have crawled out of their shameful cocoons and are trumpeting their losers vuvuzela, always looking for the slightest perceived “mistakes” of their feared victor who trounced their “wamuyaya” and tossed him back at the mercy of his party”s contention. Halelusa Halekonkanyapofye!

  16. Me think, Lung.u is another comedian! Zambia has seen them all presidents. From political engineers to comical entertainers. Lesa twafweni.

    Where and when will he find the time to not just say but implement a serious policy direction for the country? Mr President please substanciate your commitments through seriously formulated economic policy guidelines. Not through hearsay. Begin with enacting your cabinet.

    Whats the economic benefit to Zambia of your visit to Zimbabwe before enacting cabinet?

  17. Now I believe that Robert Mugabe must have helped this guy to rig the election. His affection for Zimbabwe is un-natural.

  18. Who does not know that Lungu come from such background. You are forgetting that he is a man of the bottle, and from Chimwemwe part of compounds in big cities with desperate situasions where in Zambia is very original. You do not expect anythng different from such a man. Charity begins at Home. It s a leave it or take it situation. Infact you are yet to see more of such in the next 1 year 9 months, bless for good and bad times, YOU ASKED FOR IT.

  19. Edgar Lungu has fake humility…walking with his hands clasped and making his face look like he has been sucking lemons for the whole year….he is a big pretender.
    HH should have been our President but it’s all good 2016 is less than 12 months away

  20. Most of you are just yapping. We don’t all know why he has gone to Zimbabwe.

    Lets all just focus on improving our lives. Dont look to politicians. They have their priorities too. Who can solve our issues if we cant plan and work too hard? No wonder we get to blogging to find answers and vent anger on keyboards but the solution is us.

    We get affected by politicians’ decisions but we can also aim in our own direction and ignoring the politicians. Much we can talk, will they listen? No…

  21. Why are you complaining that Edgar’s trip to tyrant Mugabe is a waste of tax payers’ money? Nindalama zanyoko mambala?

  22. Except for the bad and the evil, what else has Zimbabwe got to offer? What is our new president trying to learn from old Bob?

    • @ 34.1 If UPND loses I will resign-Garry Nkombo

      You are perfectly right. Edgar Lungu is a graduate of Robert Mugabe’s school of brutality and un-ethical behavior. Let him learn as much. Otherwise, he will soon discover that Zambians are Zambians. We are not Zimbabweans. Send him a text message so he knows that Zambians are not ready to be ruled the Robert Mugabe style.

  23. For lack of a better word, this is what we call an insult. A president greeted at the airport by the vice president.

    Bob is telling ka Lungu that, you are not my equal.

    • Emmerson Mnangagwa (who lived and went to school in Zambia – like many freedom fighters) is the real deal in Zimbabwe right now. RG’s time is up – he knows and the last changes he made were specifically for the purpose.

  24. This is what you voted for, there is more to come, foolish Zambians, you enjoy ubucushi, whilst other countries are progressing. Mugabe mentoring Lungu and you are happy, cheers Zambians.

    • ba Kasonde,
      my thoughts exactly. Bob will only teach him how to send his bodyguards for training in north Korea and how to hold on to power all his teeth fall out.

  25. Is there a system in government of evaluating the value that these trips contribute to the nation or it is just business as usual? Can the nation, through Parliament, be informed how much these trips cost per year and the value they contribute? Zambia has a terrible history of wasteful expenditure by government officials and civil servants that needs to be addressed! Imagine most of them even have fully connected dstv in their offices!

  26. This is all standard for a new President when elected. He must meet and greet the international community.

    It’s ridiculous for critics to expect him to do any decision making at this time. He must be briefed at the same time as establish himself widely.

    Can I point out that some of the delays were caused by the Grand Coalition ‘of Constituion madness.’ PF and His Excellency suggested that the Constitution be passed through Parliament…..loud cries of NoNoNo! Now we need to find money for referendums when we have bashed this matter about in previous years. Only a matter of re-confirming with Stakeholders needed.

    Opposition parties want to delay all matters rather unpatriotically, so they have negative campaign issues. Literally hurt the country’s progress for personal…

    • Zambia needs to work closely with Zimbabwe to create a Strong Block of our two countries. Much as Mugabe has enjoyed Notoriety, we must move on and international sanctions removed so we can create successful economies, bearing in mind Western countries are yet to pay for the sins of Colonial past.

      It makes sense with the looming trouble with NW Province. By maintaining good relations with Zimbabwe, we can have a good war manoeuvre from the boarders of Victoria Falls. See? Zambian Defence force this side of Zambia bearing IN and our good friend Rob’s Defence Force bearing IN, in over Victoria Falls! We can quash any upheaval in NW in a Flash!

      Good Call, His Excellency, after all you are literally an Officer and a Gentleman!

  27. Enough! revise your social studies Robert Mugabe is Chairperson of SADC and AU. So where does H.E go for matters of Africa and the sub region? Still mourning HH? He lost to a person who only campaigned for 45 days, when he did it for 90 DAYS? UPND will be a cult do away for HH.

  28. Its only fair to ask the chairman of the continent on the happenings in the OAU and Sadc Its was also correct that the minister of Foreign Affairs was also present to reconfirm the briefing according to his diary at ministry kept by competent civil servants

    Its the most cost effective way as done by world class leadership even in Europe and US avoiding travelling to each and every member states
    His participation at the African summit was also cost effective instead of travelling to each individual member country giving thanks
    Lets look at things in broader view and support true leadership thinking and conserve a few resources we have in courtesy and spend when it when it…

  29. it calls.We just need confidence and less uncertainty and focus on “transitioning growth” from consumption to investment and savings in view of the future we see

    Life is a two-way street and anyone successful, whether in a personal relationship or in business, and definitely in politics, learns to execute this principle without fail and we supported in the same way awisi boyi in service provider thanks” we love you keep it up the dats and continue serving Zambia great country “”

  30. just like Sata visiting Zimbabwe, what can you learn from zimbabwe.No wonder the kwacha is headed for doom just like Mugabe killed the zim dollar. These chaps are just playing about with gvt money instead of dealing with the many problems this country faces. I dont normally agree with mushota but on this one she is spot on

    • The trouble with Zambia is multiParty politics is not suited to us.

      We were forced into this by the west who created the Tribal Divisions in the first place. Now we are forced to deal with sponsored people like HH and ‘Cartel’ who prey on the colonial divisions.

      In some way our journey into Multi-Party politics has turned full circle and left us with a COLONIAL PROBLEM set-up systematically to ensure their dominance into our economies.

      It might just be that what we lack is confidence in our own ability to create lives and systems that suit us naturally. Technically we are still one party states as Total Power rests in the President which is good if you note the divisions that have arisen caused by Unpatriotic, greedy opposition party’s. Im it conceding defeat is uncivilised.

  36. @48 Patriot Abroad, is there any other language you you can speak apart from the language of tribalism which you exhibit clearly but try to smear it on others. You can cheat yourself but not the public what sits at the helm of your heart and that is the very picture that you portray to the public through your writings. In your recent Presidential Election which was held last month, was Hakainde Hichilema the only candidate in the opposition camp and if not so , why is he the only sole person they you write negatively everyday ? You have got a big problem in your head and heart and I would assume you only need the blood of Jesus Christ to cure the desease because the devil has established a temple within you. Pray hard that u dont perish.

  39. Dear Zambians
    I think its not time to start saying much as we focuses on hard work to develop this country certain key factors needs to be looked at with people leading us, it is not right for our presidents start mixing with Mugabe look at the way his people are suffering e.g. intercity Lusaka selling sweets etc. no parent or child can be happy to see his father or child mix with wrong people lets learn to say the truths us people if we are to develop this country,
