Former ZNBC journalist, Margaret Chimanse, is the new Electoral Commission of Zambia public relations manager.
Ms Chimanse takes over from Chris Akufuna.
Before her latest appointment, Chimanse was Communications and Public Relations Manager at Zambia Development Agency.
She also worked at the Zambia Export Processing Zones Authority as Marketing Communications Manager.
Chimanse is holder of a Mass Communication degree from UNZA.
Wish her well in her new appointment
Longevity Maggy, very good!
Congratulations, hopefully appointment was on merit and transparent
We want Southerner for Chief Executive officer of ECZ so that we can complain if HH wins in 2021.
Very boring and opens easily! Might not keep EC secrets!
But why use morning picture, she is in night dress, bathrobe and hair nefikuti.
Why do we keep the same people in Zambia? In South Africa, US and many other countries, spokespersons are normally quite young i.e. not over 40.
The only thing that i remember vividly about Maggie is when she was newscaster she struggled to say POWER FAILURE, i think it maduma if am not mistaken who helped her cross that wordy river.
Alright, and the new Commissioner? thats the big one
With the discredited Essau Chulu still at the helm of ECZ she can try and spruce the image of ECZ but nothing will change. Until ECZ’s irregularities and illegalities committed during the 2016 Election are cleared no amount of Public Relations will succeed. The Petition must be heard so that ECZ can clear its name. ECZ should learn from the Electoral Commission of Kenya (EIBC) and avoid conducting future Elections in contravention of the Zambian Constitution and the Electoral Law. Let ECZ account on how it conducted the 2016 Election. Mulandu tauboli so even those who resigned from ECZ should be subpoenaed to Court during the Petition Hearing.#Let the Petition be heard.
Ba pfooools have already started putting strategic people in place to be helping them rigging the elections instead of bringing development in the country as promised.ba kawalala… lol
@Chibwe
The Electoral and Boundaries Commission of Kenya should learn from ECZ, how not to kok up things and get caught.
Let the Treason case be heard.
I think there is more stress and controversy at ECZ that ZDA. But she is equal to the task and probabaly there is more pay. Olo ku ZDA kwaba ama wanna bees
Take our town Chingola higher Sissy Maggy, wish you all the best in your next new job.
@Don. Which Treason Case are u referring to? The HH Treason Case was abandoned by the State thru a Nolle Prosqui. The Lungu Treason Case where he refused to handover Power to the Speaker of Parliament during the Petition Hearing will start as soon as Lungu is out of Office and his immunity from Prosecution is removed. Mulandu siuwola. Jonathan Lungu will have to account for these illegalities committed while in Office. For this reason Lungu needs to resolve these illegalities while he still can and in Office. The best thing for Lungu is to allow the Petition to be heard and negotiate for immunity around the Petition. The writing is on the Wall.
Which Court in Zambia is going to hear a lapsed hence dismissed petition, you under 5 morons.
@KBF
Imagine someone sued you for non-payment of debt. The court acquits you on a technicality before it can hear the evidence of the plaintiff. Is it your responsibility to have the case heard in court again?
It’s a tough job this one my sister, but I confident you’ll be equal to it.
Did Akufuna leave with Priscilla Isaac?
Chris Nafukauka was technically fired by ………………………..!
Pricilla’s exhusband wants a baby come back; she has a huge gratuity!!
Oh Ba Judge Essau Chuulu is a squatter and/or a party to land fraud, on Sub Division 37 of Farm 377A; if he is disputing lets get to the Land Tribunal – Mrs Hilda Chanda Kabwe-Phiri is widow and bona fide leasehold owner. If a man holding such an important office Supreme Court Judge can be involved in dirty transactions how safe are we?
Wow that’s brave. Leaving ZDA to join ECZ the poisoned chalice. Wish you luck.
@Jane- couldnt have agreed with you more!
Indeed ECZ is the job for the hardened people, wish you all the best Margret, never should you relent and weaver to the insults you will receive from the politicians ……
Sylvia bwalya..then Margaret Chimanse.all come from ZNBC.May be will hear another Ex ZNBC. By the way where is ba Calisto?
Umwaice kalisto ali kunyanji na ba Zambia Railways as PRO Manager.
Margaret for the sake of your health quit this job quickly
Wonderful for the former Chingola kid. My dad was a good friend to her dad. We congregated together at Kabundi East Parish just after it was constructed and opened in the mid 70s. This year I was back to Chingola after a very long time and went and visited our parish among other places.
Congrats Maggie!
Went to Chingola High School with your late brother Peter and benefited much from Batata BaChimanse’s editorials at Chengelo Magazine and off course as a parishioner- Kabundi, though I attended Nchanga Parish. I don’t envy your new job nevertheless.
Congratulations Margaret! Your new post is great! Don’t listen to disgruntled elements and losers! They will NEVER accept anything that goes against their wishes! What they don’t know, which even a kid knows, is that “Politics is a game of numbers!” If you don’t have enough supporters ACROSS the nation you lose! Accept that! With their stoolpidity and reasoning which we have seen on the net, they will NEVER win an election in Zambia! Congratulations and just be ready to find the words to shut up bad apples in our nation!
@HaMulenga HaMulenga, #3.1 says it has become a foool!
Before a person begins her work, it has already become rebellious!
Our Zambian women are catching up with us men in taking up challenging jobs. That is the more reason I am trying all means to give my girls the best of Education slowly. Show your mighty.
Personnel changes alone will not rebrand ECZ. What u need is to deal with the irregularities and illegalities committed by ECZ during the 2016 Election. The only way to know these irregularities and illegalities is thru Hearing the Petition. The Petition was never heard and is alive in Court. Lungu needs to be recognized as a legitimate President but this will only happen if he could legitimatise the 2016 Election. The only method to do this is to hear the Petition in an Independent and appointed Election Tribunal.This can be done if Lungu cooperates with the Commonwealth Envoy Prof. Gambari. Which way Lungu?
Just to educate you – Prof Ibrahim Gambari served as Minister of Foreign Affairs under dictator Gen Ibrahim Babangida – that is the saviour for you.
Thats a bad seat. She will be bruised by politicians like HH.
I am sure she can handle all animals! Sorry I meant all people with animal behavior. God be with you Madam.
@Shallow, I am sure she can handle your type! Sorry I meant all people with mental issues.
God is with her, unlike you.
Iwe Chibwe you should respect yourself. The man you are calling discredited (Mr Essau Chulu) I can assure you is one of very few people that can handle that job very well mostly under the circumstances we experienced during the 2016 election. Don’t be cursing yourself by insulting elderly people. He is much elder than your father.
That incompetent full should have step down already. ECZ is discredited because of him. I don’t care if he’s 100 years old, he’s too incompetent to be running anything.
Honourable Justice Essau Chulu? Of course he will be there in 2021. If underfive is replaced at the convention of UPNDonkeys perhaps in return we can consider replacing Justice Chulu too. Otherwise mr underfive will have to face Justice Chulu….kikikikiki. How can underfive criticise anyone when he himself leaves much to be desired?
As for the now dead last year’s election petition, the underfive must be totally useless. Imagine he was searching ECZ trucks for evidence of rigging and didnt find any. And despite his suspicions, he failed to gather a single shred of evidence to support his case in Concourt. Imagine the amount of noise that he made about rigging kanshi likula lya ma elections pa Zed.
Usual terrible contribution from brainless skull full of crap
Mental illness is deep in the tribal party! Just scroll above and you will know what she means! That is why you can’t even understand Sharon!
Talking about “mental illness”?
You as sufferer of genetically induced 1mbecility do you have right credentials to talk about “mental illness?
The change of Personnel at ECZ alone will not improve the image and reputation of ECZ. A frog can wear lipstick but will never win a human being beauty contest. As long Essau Chulu remains Chairman of ECZ and Lungu and PF continue to control the Affairs of ECZ nothing will change at ECZ. ECZ stands accused of conniving with Lungu and PF to rig the 2016 Election in favour of Lungu and PF. ECZ must clear its name and address the alleged irregularities and illegalities they committed in the 2016 Elections. Without Hearing the Petition and clearing these illegalities and irregularities confidence in the Electoral Institutions like ECZ,ZPS,Concourt etc will not be restored. Come 2021 people will not go to vote when they know their votes will be stolen and wont count. # Let the Petition be…
