Namibia’s President elect Hage Geingob takes over from President Hefikepunya Pohamba.
Nice to have you back safely Mr President.
Watch out, Bembas didn’t like their loss of power and might send a hitman against our dear president.
Dr Guy Scott should have been allowed to finish Sata’s term.But alas, the same contitution being currently manipulated by PF could not permit. Please WAKE UP ZAMBIANS.
Thank Jesus, he didn’t collapse in Namibia. He should try to settle a little and recover from HO.
BA PRESIDENT, JUST ONE SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT FORWARD THING CAN MAKE YOU WIN ELECTIONS NEXT YEAR. PUT UP STATE-OF-THE-ART MILLING PLANTS IN TEN (10) RURAL TOWNS. THIS IS NO ROCKET SCIENCE. IT IS THE SIMPLEST THING YOU CAN ACHIEVE BUT ONE THAT CAN SEE YOU IN PLOT 1, AGAIN WITH NO DOUBT. THOSE MILLING PLANTS SHOULD HANDLE ANY GRAIN. ONCE THAT IS DONE THERE WILL BE EVEN PLENTY TO EXPORT TO ANY COUNTRY, 2017 THERE WILL BE MORE FARMERS OF DIFFERENT GRAINS HENCE MORE GRAIN EXPORT AND STRONG KWACHA. PRICES OF ALL GRAIN WILL DROP TO A DRASTIC LEVEL. YOU WON’T HAVE TO FORCE MILLERS TO REDUCE THE PRICES OF CORN MILL. THAT IS THE ONLY EFFECTIVE THING YOU CAN EASILY ACHIEVE WHICH CAN ECONOMICALLY, GO A LONG WAY. DON’T PUT THE UP IN LUSAKA OR PROVINCIAL HQs BUT REAL RURAL TOWNS.
What a ceremonial and unproductive president you have turned out to be ECL. Please spend more time working in your second country Zambia.
Mwana wakufya kewukoma new!!(A hidden child doesn’t grow well)
If this guy cared so much about Zambia, by now,you could have seen the difference. Unless you can prove to the Zambian people just 1 thing and not even 2 he has done so far to improve the living standards of the Zambian people? Yes, maybe that of the Zimbabwen people by f o o lishly comitting the country to paying a big loan on behalf of that country.
Saving millions by implementing fuel shortage?
Bo Inonge and the Defence Service Chiefs …why don’t you just all move your offices to KK International Airport, I am sure they can find space for you in the aircraft hangers to make it easy for you to welcome the lazy president Edgar ….as that is what you are good for.
Now, Now, Jay Jay!
ATTENDING AN INAUGURAL CEREMONY ESPECIALLY FOR ANY SOUTHERN AFRICAN COUNTRY IS A NOBLE AND ACCEPTABLE THING. BUT UKULASEYA FYE NGE NDA YA MUBUKUSHI NAPASHILINGILE TAKWATWALE CALO PANTANSHI. THERE’S A LOT TO BE DONE AND ACHIEVED IN ZAMBIA. FOR INSTANCE, IT IS TIME LONG OVER DUE ALL ZAMBIANS STARTED AFFORDING ALL THREE MEALS PER DAY AND I MEANS EVERY ZAMBIANS. STORIES AFTER 50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE ARE NOT MAKING ANY SENSE. BA PRESIDENT LEAVE RB’s UKUSEYA ALONE. UKUSEYA CAN COME LATER.
LUNGU IS ANOTHER PATHETIC FAILURE FOR ZAMBIA. ZAMBIA IS DEAD COUNTRY UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF LUNGU AND HIS PF TEAM.
This president will be remembered for his departures and arrivals and his habit of moaning about how tough his job as president is.
Soon he will be returning to the RSA for medical review and the cycle continues.
Nsanje Chabe Iyo Nsanje
You will die with jealousy while EL is President.
Mind you EL is president up to 2027 while HH is pwetete pwetete.
It will be 12 years of farting and fussing by HH and WK
WASN’T LUNGU ASHAMED WHEN HE SAW HOW ORGANIZED AND DEVELOPED NAMIBIA IS? JUST YESTERDAY WHEN NAMIBIA GOT ITS INDEPENDENCE, AND IT’S ALREADY PERFORMING FAR MUCH BETTER THAN THE CRAZY ZAMBIA WHICH CELEBRATED ITS GOLDEN JUBILEE LAST YEAR, YET ITS ECONOMY IS STILL RAVAGED AFTER SO MORE THAN 50 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE. ZAMBIAN POLITICIANS HAVE DRUGGED OUR COUNTRY INTO THE MUD. THEY HAVE NO POLITICAL WILL-POWER TO DEVELOP OUR ECONOMY, AND LUNGU IS SUCH WORSE CULPRIT!
“…Vice President Inonge Wina, Defence Service Chiefs, Cabinet Ministers and other senior government and Patriotic Front party officials where on hand to receive the President and his entourage…”
Wow, special welcome after long absence of less than 48 hours!!!
Now I got it. Instead of working, all this lot is employed just for airport greetings?
In comparison, when Obama comes back from intercontinental travel, from AF1 to Marines1 to WH without any greetings.
…Bane we have a problem with PF Government!! They do not know what they are doing. We are in hell as a country!
