President Edgar Lungu has thanked Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa for his help in resolving the border issue between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

And Foreign Affairs Minister Joseph Malanji said SADC has ratified the 1989 border treaty between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mr. Malanji said the process of putting up beacons will soon be undertaken.

During today’s summit, Tanzania handed over the Chairpersonship of SADC to Mozambique.
Great African ubuntu. We are one and the same people. However we have amongst us a few rotten diasporans who are trying to create animosity amongst us. These evil creatures were praying for a full blown war in the hope that it would lead to their tribal demigod going to state house. These chaps are not even zambian after running away and renouncing their citizenship. They are now beenused by their slave masters to create division for us here in Africa. MwanyalA

How can you thank someone for helping you in some issue you denied was happening? Lies have short legs indeed
Haspaka you ain’t zambian you I.di0t. Stop talking and claiming things on our behalf you asylum seeker. Concentrate on wiping old peoples backsides there. Whether you foam at mouth or fart all day, the fact is we are in power and we will continue to do so after 2021.

You are just a son of a bit.ch who is going to jail soon, without a dought and Zambia does not belong to your bit.ch mother
Your insults can’t hide the gassing of our people and the blood of innocent lynching victims on your hands
Haha haspaka I like that the real you is now coming out. The haspaka who is tired and frustrated of losing elections for many decades. Do not take your anger out on us. You know that your demigod leader is unsellable and yet all because of tribe you cannot force him to stand down and give someone else the mantle in your ka useless party. You are now insulting my mother like you are in primary school. Grow up. Meanwhile you left your mothers here suffering while you ran away to diaspora. Thank us for taking care of them..chimbweee iwe

You shud have asked why KK did not take this issue to SADC or AU (OAU) by then? You should have also asked why the MMD is its 20 years rule didn’t hastily resolve this issue!! YOU ARE LOSING LAND AND MINERALS AND YOU ARE BUSY CONGRATULATING A FACILITATOR FOR THAT?! I JUST HOPE OUR PARLIAMENT WILL NOT RATIFY THAT HASTILY DONE DEMARCATION SO THAT IT CAN BE REVISTED WITH SERIOUSNESS!!
Next time use drones take our land back swiftly. We are peace loving people but we should not be taken for granted ala. Look at the size of DRC. They have no shame to encroach all the way into Zambia making us to cross borders just to get to the other side of our country? Malabish.
Imagine being so corrupt to an extent of young people calling you a jagaban of corruption.
The word ‘Jagaban’ means ‘leader of warriors’. It was formed from the chieftaincy title bestowed on Tinubu in a town in Northwest Nigeria: “Ja a gabar borgu” which means “the leader of Borgu land or in the Yoruba Language the asiwaju of Borgu land”
WHERE DID YOU GET UYU EACH COLOUR CALLED KZ, HIS A NUT
What I am interested in is: How has this resolution changed our territorial claim? What is the total land area for Zambia after this “resolution”? In fact, Zambia’s land issue should be resolved with the Pedicle in mind – we can’t have such a stupid land map in the history of mankind.
