  1. This is just so wonderful. First ladies doing a great job engaging women folk. This only happens when a country has a God sent 1st lady. Like the husband, she is down to earth, caring, motherly, God fearing, and Beautiful. VIVA ESTHER LUNGU!!!

  2. Why giving gifts to people like Esther Lungu and Vera the prostitute when other people are living with a lot of challenges. Useless decision. Shame on you people of Mansa.

    • That is indeed counter intuitive: Somebody goes to see how poor you are, and before you know it they are dashing you gifts?

  3. The under previledged and people with special needs , require material help ; not speeches and costly visits. I have seen nothing given to them in the above pictures . Instead they are the ones giving even the little they have to these filthy rich.

  4. The other day it was bicycles being given out. Now chit enters being given out. Is this jot corruption ahead of 2016 elections? Hope the opposition are watching.

    • You have a point there.

      The first lady is not supposed to be partisan in her dealings. And as long as she is singing PF songs, she is not supposed to be using ZAF planes.

      We need a clear and complete disengagement between party and government.

  5. This is why the so called corruption fight is futile because political corruption is done months away from election period. This why arguments are there the corruption fight in its current form is seen as fight against perceived enemies. Kasanengwa Victoria Kalima is busy buying votes for 2016 elections through donations of bicycles. Are the people receiving these bicycles seeing this as corruption or a contribution to alleviate transport problems faced in her constituency. This why Kabimbas and Mmembes interest in Dora Siliya so called corruption has much bubbles to be seen as genuine but fight against perceived enemies. So much money has been lost but gained by Nchito and Mmembe is litigation with insignificant results. If anything the country is more corrupt than yesteday

  6. Well this is a strategy Lungu wants to use in preparation for 2016. If only these ladies can give help to those deserving it

  7. Hats off to you first lady and Vera Chiluba!!!keep on putting ECL on the map so that his name is known by all in PF strongholds like Luapula in order to COLOPA tribal HH in 2016 for a 5th time!!!!it will be nega nega formula in favour of Edgar Lungu now!!!we cant wait to colopa them.hope after losing for 5th time tribal HH will leave politics bcoz he is now a danger to the peace we’ve enjoyed since 1964!!!GO PF GO!!!

  8. Thats my first lady. Thanks for the initiative madam first lady. Continue engaging the women folk so that come next year ni kolopa.com

    • All the wigs are awful!!! From Inonge to the rest of them. They look like they have dead squirrels on their heads! They have the power and money now, they should employ stylists.

    • Why are they ashamed of their natural hair? Grey hair can be made to look beautiful. Somebody needs to educate our womenfolk.

      Natural is sexy!

  9. It’s good to see her develop her profile.

    Must be careful not to be overshadowed by the support group. Madame Tembo looks like she is the First Lady. So much animated talking; she’s doing the Mexican wave by the looks of it!! Why is that woman prostrating herself before Madam Tembo while First Lady looks on on the side? It’s not seen where First Lady did any speaking in the pictures. Must be HH who compiled these pics!

    She really ought to try plaiting her hair in an ‘up do’ rather than that particular hair piece. It really does not suit her. She could try a shorter straight non fussy one to complement her very gorgeous African face. Like the one she wore to go and present candidacy of HEECL. She should not keep changing her hair too frequently Image must be established…

  10. Nabo aba ba new First Lady! What can you learn from Vera Tembo? How to cheat on your husband whilst at State House?!
