Ah, the eternal question that has plagued philosophers, scholars, and confused Google searches alike: What is Kwenyu?

Is it a rare, mystical creature only spotted in the wilds of corporate jargon? A secret government project to weaponize buzzwords? Or perhaps just a typo that gained sentience and now roams the internet, haunting LinkedIn influencers?

The world may never know—or perhaps Kwenyu knows, and it’s just laughing at us from the shadows. Enlighten us, oh wise one.

In a significant cabinet reshuffle, President Hakainde Hichilema has terminated the appointments of two senior government officials and named seven new permanent secretaries and ambassadors, signalling a strategic shift in key ministries.

Terminations with Immediate Effect
The President, acting under Article 270 of the Zambian Constitution, removed:
• Ms. Lynn Habanji from her role as Commissioner of Lands (Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources).
• Engineer Himba Cheelo as Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock.
A statement from State House thanked the outgoing officials for their service and wished them success in their future pursuits. No reasons were given for their dismissals.

New Appointments
Under Articles 92(2) and 184(1) of the Constitution, President Hichilema announced the following appointments:
1. Mr. Chibeleka Hilton Chibeleka – Permanent Secretary, Cabinet Office
2. Ms. Beatrice Chilomo – Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Community Development and Social Services
3. Mr. Alfred S. Sakwiya – Permanent Secretary, Management Development Division
4. Mrs. Joma T. Simuyi – Permanent Secretary for Administration, Ministry of Health
5. Dr. Max Choombe – Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock (replacing Engineer Cheelo)
6. Mrs. Stella Chanda Nyonda – Deputy Auditor General (Administration)
7. Mr. George Kanyamula Zulu – Ambassador Plenipotentiary and Extraordinary

Political Implications
Analysts suggest the reshuffle aims to strengthen governance in critical sectors, particularly health, fisheries, and public administration. The appointment of Dr. Max Choombe, a seasoned expert, signals a focus on revitalising the fisheries sector.

President Hichilema congratulated the new appointees, urging them to deliver "efficient and transparent leadership."

Public Reaction
While some commentators welcome the changes as a move towards merit-based appointments, others await further clarity on the dismissed officials' departures.

Hot FM CEO David Kazadi Fired Following Arrest, Station Appoints Interim Leadership

https://melomediazambia.com/2025/07/02/hot-fm-ceo-david-kazadi-fired-following-arrest-station-appoints-interim-leadership/

Lusaka, Zambia – HOT FM Zambia has terminated David Kazadi’s role as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect following his arrest in connection with undisclosed criminal allegations, the radio station announced in a statement today.

The media house stated that while it respects the legal principle of "innocent until proven guilty," the nature of the allegations against Kazadi contradicts the broadcaster’s ethical standards.

“The integrity of Hot FM Zambia as a trusted media institution must be upheld,” read the statement signed by Hot Media Group Chairman Oscar Chavula. “As such, Mr. Kazadi no longer holds any position within the company or its affiliates.”

Authorities have yet to disclose full details of the case, but sources suggest the investigation involves financial misconduct. Police confirmed Kazadi’s arrest but declined further comment as the probe continues.

Hot FM Zambia assured listeners and partners that operations remain unaffected, with an interim leadership team already in place. The station emphasized its commitment to transparency and full cooperation with law enforcement.

Kazadi, who had led the popular radio station since 2020, has not publicly commented on the allegations. Legal analysts suggest his dismissal indicates the severity of the claims, as corporations often suspend executives pending trial rather than terminate them pre-emptively.

Industry watchdogs have praised Hot FM’s swift action.
