The Barotse Royal Establishment has announced that this year’s Kuomboka ceremony will be held on 7th April.
Ngambela Nyambe Mwenda said that the programme for the ceremony will run up to 10th April with a series of activities.
Meanwhile concerned citizen William Harrington has advised organizers of this year’s Kuomboka ceremony of the Lozi speaking people to ensure this year’s ceremony is not politicized.
Mr Harrington who is former Senanga Member of Parliament said that politicians should not be allowed to politicize the event.
Mr Harrington said that traditional ceremonies are meant for the people to celebrate their tradition and not for politicians to campaign.
Mr Harrington noted that the Kuomboka ceremony attracts both local and foreign tourists, thus the need not to attach politics to it.
Mr Harrington stated that the organizers must therefore ensure that what happened last year does not re-occur during this year’s ceremony.
Last year, the Mr Hichilema was charged with treason after allegedly obstructing the presidential motorcade during the Kuomboka ceremony.
Mr Hichilema’s convoy allegedly refused to make way for President Edgar Lungu’s convoy, while travelling to a ceremony.
A confrontation erupted between the two convoys, as the president’s motorcade attempted to overtake Mr Hichilema’s.
Police said Mr Hichilema’s convoy endangered the president’s life.
Government later dropped Mr Hichilema’s treason charge and released him from prison
Another occasion for boosting tourism revenue if we had a govt with a plan..nomba ba Edgar, kuwayawaya fye!!
Do not invite him this time around until when the inter-party dialogue is concluded. Otherwise he will leave again as the other one is addressing the gathering. No road blocks this time around. 7th April tepatali ka!
He has planned for a card renewal exercise during that same period to show pf that he is popular.
It will be boring without Edgar or HH.
Mr. Harrington is right … let’s roll
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT ZAMBIAN CHIEFS HAVE EVER DONE FOR THEIR SUBJECTS!!?
THE SAME CHIEFS SOLD THEIR SUBJECTS TO SLAVE TRADERS FOR BEADS AND A FEW GUNS (AND EVEN A MIRROR)
WE GOT OUR INDEPENDENCE THROUGH POLITICIANS WHILE OUR CHIEFS WERE KOWTOWING TO THE COLONIAL MASTERS.
THE SAME CHIEFS ARE ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE ELECTRIFICATION OF THEIR PALACES
THEY HAVE SOLD VAST TRACTS OF LAND TO CHINESE
WESTERN PROVINCE IS SO UNDER-DEVELOPED BECAUSE THE LITUNGA HAS TOO MUCH POWER THERE WHICH HE EXPLOITS FOR HIS GLORIFICATION AND THE SO-CALLED ROYAL ESTABLISHMENT.
CHIEFS SHOULD BE BANNED AND SENT TO THE MUSEUM AND REPLACED BY ELECTED VILLAGE COUNCILLORS.
Let’s roll
FAKE DATE
When is the date for the treason ceremony being held at Mukobeko?
The dressing I see in this picture is deportable. Immigration should deport these guys upon arrival at Limulunga, back to Lialui.
Common Law works on precedence and we have got a precedent where someone who was dressed much better than what’s in the picture was deported. We will continue to demand justice until Zambia apologises to Zodwa.
Chitapankwa we mwine luBemba u tokomele, Koswe Mumphoto will deport you back ku buLuba eko wa fumine.
Naya ni yo fuluha, I will position myself fa silindo mi Nalikwanda hasali fa ngala kona nikasi tibulula kuli cwale Kaongolo ka Nyambe ke mine mikope wa Nalute kapa ka buyowane bulena. Kanamunungu kani ka kozi sicaba, ka kaise.

I hope there won’t be a shortage of condoms this time, time to enjoy Lozi girls
Pwahahaha!
I cant see Lungu in the picture. Is he one of the paddlers?
Sorry I’m not going this time
this time hh should be banned
Africa’s most organized traditional ceremony.
What organization? My foot?
ECL has stopped attending traditional ceremonies when some tribe complained that he is did not attend their ceremony. hh can go and hold a rally there since he feels that Lozis are part of domestic animals.
It will phase 2 of HH vs ECL. They must narrow that road so that we wintess the real battle. HH went kissed the road but lets see if kissing the road will bring him luck this time. The battle is on …!!! Which side are you!!
ECL said he shall never attend traditional ceremonies so politics can only come from OUR FRIENDS THE VIBWANTUZ
