Zoona umu guys wa kuChipata
Its a good thing Lenjes/Solis are reclaiming their possessions …
He looks honest.
If he fires that Milingo guy who still at KCCM’s failed robbery attempt, then HH might keep this guy with horrible name. Umuntu ukumwinika at Chipata?? Mabvuto? He might be one of those successful-hardworking products of orphanages.
Pius Kasolo was spending long lunch hours at Pamodzi Hotel buffet feeding his massive body. How could he run a company that way?
Tiyenayo baba wako ni wako, let’s go Chipata….
Replacing management when the issue you have is an intrinsic cultural problem is like doing the same thing and expecting change. I think a wise man said that amounts to madness. Anyway there is madness in pf. We wonder how long this chipata boy will last before he is in the wrong side of lungu and co.***
Complete down to the name, zoona mabvuto aku Chipate anabwela. The chap has zero mining background but because he is called Chipata and hails from there, he scales the ZCCM-PI lader.
All governance and state institutions including ACC, and their respective professionals, are now at the beck and call of one corrupt clique. This appointment just about completes it.
LAZ is not my favourite organisation but I appreciate it for being one institution that is trying to hold its own. They can see the corruption and the party capture (not state capture) of these institutions and they challenge the clique but they are a lone voice as the majority of Zambians are either sleeping or blinded.
LAZ??? Oh my God…. I lost faith in them years ago!!
Don’t allow political pressure /influence affect your management of ZCCM please Mr Mabvuto.
Wishful thinking my friend
Name could be Chipeta and not Chipata. Journalists and vernacular!
It is CHIPATA not CHIPETA……. Nichi mbuya chaku mawa ichi. Awe mwandi elo lwanya. ZCCM nayo nomba yaya ke bena Chipata. Awe nomba ni teti teti. Tukesa mufulumuna ba mambala.
