CONGRATS MY DEAR AND ALL THE BEST
Congratulations ba Majorie and all the best in your new appointment! Let’s hope you’re doing the right thing there by negotiating better terms for African countries. Yours and other competent brains are needed at BOZ to help manage Zambia’s finances.
Congrats Marjorie. May God continue granting you the wisdom and grace needed to succeed.
Way to go. May God open more doors in your life. If you can see it in your mind, you can have.
Congratulating a woman you never heard her voice or seen walking?? I fipuba fyafula mu Zambia.
Meanwhile in Zambia we have Christopher Mvunga as BOZ Governor an accountant and seasoned hardcore drunkard.
How do you write such an article without putting up Majorie’s profile
Well done Marjorie! You will do an amazing job!
Well done, Zambians are high flyers except in the political field where we have been a disaster and failing to use our God given resources to move people out of poverty. Very disappointed with Presidential debates on Diamond TV this evening, only Highvie Hamududu was more organized and you could tell that he knows what he is talking about, I hope he has a following though, but very level minded with the correct temperament for a leader, the UNIP aspirant body language very dead, a guy called Enock Tonga only has corruption on his lips, no message at all, a country is much more complex than corruption only
But you are posting a comment so that same people you call ifipuba can like your comment though they have never seen you walk or heard yor voice? Kkkkkkk
Thank you for representing us very well unlike the f00Iish upnd diaaporans who are embarrassing us there abroad by being leeches on foreign governments. Most of them don’t work there abroad or if they do, they are doing menial jobs like wiping old whlte mbuyas backsides.
World Bank doing what it knows best in Africa. Congratulations but never ever stop looking on which Continent you are and don’t forget their bigger agenda which is to pull us down.
Who gives a fuc.k!
Hearty congratulations Mrs Mpundu??
Joe – WB is simply copying the Christian Church way where you put a black face to dupe the natives
Congrats majo.So zambia has capable people to take up these
High posts in other countries. And
Yet here we bring in old retired
People to take up positions in our
Financial and other institutions. Why can’t zambia benefit from its
Own highly qualified staff?
And the stup.id hichilema thinks Zambians can’t manage to run businesses,Banks,Mines etc shameful on hichilema the chief of privatization… Anyway Madam congratulations and thank you for proving hichilema wrong, that hypocritical liar.
