The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has donated 25 tonnes of dates to Zambia to help address the hunger situation that has affected most households due to the drought that hit the country in the last farming season.
Saudi Arabia has since donated 25 tonnes of Dates to the Zambian people aimed at improving food security through the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit in Lusaka today.
Handing over the donation, First Secretary at the Royal Embassy of Saudi Arabia In Zambia, Mohammed Mosalim said his country is glad to help the Zambian government at this critical juncture of drought.
And receiving the donation, Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit (DMMU)National Coordinator, Gabriel Pollen praised the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the donation.
Dr Pollen said the donation has come at a time when the country is experiencing drought which has threatened the food security and millions of households.
He disclosed that, at the moment the government is providing relief food to at least 6.6 million people in the country.
Halal food is not good for our mostly Christian nation!
Its a fruit… dweeb
Sorry only 3 letters sums this up … WTF
This was done in the past and all ended up in the markets
A borrower is always a slave of the lender, we have natural resources that we should have been turning into finished products but no we give them all as raw material at cheap prices… politicians are demons in flesh
This is how low we stooped, good at receiving handouts.. kwena!!! Sometimes you wonder who bewitched our leaders from the beginning of time. You see them with suits, their fancy cars & houses with big tummies with Zambian english accent
Why Zambia why? How will the locals take that?
Oh I know, workshops to train the councilor s on how to Distribute, Consume and store the dates!
Tizayamba kugonera ma dates ha ha ha!!
Who eats dates in Zambia?
Ma dates futi? Si sweet course iyi? Nanga kuchita donate unga kwalakwa chani? I know we are hungry, but cant we advise on what well-wishers can donate? Dates cannot be relief food as the majority need time to adopt it as as everyday food including acquiring the taste. What is needed now if food izagwila pamala
Accepting food grown from a rainless desert 60 years after independence. Can you imagine how many dates we can produce in Zambia?
I’ve also donated two dates, the 18th and 24th of October.
who was willing to accept the donation of dates!! they are bringing barter system now!! in exchange with copper!!
hahaha- sad! Beggars can’t be choosers!!
