LUNDAZI DISTRICT COMMISSIONER EXPRESSES DISAPPOINTMENT WITH BUSINESS ASSOCIATION'S CONTRIBUTION TO KULONGA TRADITIONAL CEREMONY

By Lundazi FM Editor.

The Lundazi District Commissioner, Madam Majory Mupashya Banda DC- Lundazi Districtda, has expressed disappointment with the Lundazi District Business Association's contribution toward this year's Kulonga Traditional Ceremony. Despite the association's significant business operations in the area, they only tabled a K3,000 towards the ceremony.

Speaking at a meeting to finalize preparations for the Kulonga Traditional Ceremony, The DC lamented that the business community seems to prioritize donating to other traditional ceremonies while neglecting their own. "When other traditional ceremonies are happening, people here become the first ones to donate, but they are forgetting their own traditional ceremony that is happening within here," she said.

the DC emphasized that the business community benefits significantly from operating in the area throughout the year but fails to appreciate the traditional leadership and contribute meaningfully to the Kulonga Traditional Ceremony. "We are making a lot of money throughout the year, but we are just failing to appreciate the owner of the land, the chief, for just a small contribution towards the traditional ceremony that happens just once a year," she added.

The Kulonga Traditional Ceremony is scheduled to take place on August 7th, 8th, and 9th, 2025, with the climax on August 9th.

By Darius Choonya

Zambian singer Elton Mulenga, popularly known as Yo Maps, has applied to the Lusaka Magistrates’ Court seeking primary custody of his daughter, Bukata.

He told the court that he would be more than willing to raise her in the same way he and his wife, Kiddist Kiffle, are raising her half-sister at home, as he has consistently taken responsibility for Bukata’s well-being.

Yo Maps stated that on several occasions, he has asked to spend time with his daughter , whether during holidays, weekends, or events but Prudence Nakamba, also known as Mwizukanji, has repeatedly refused without giving any valid reason.

Mr. Mulenga has submitted WhatsApp conversations as evidence to support his claim.

Former Petauke District Commissioner, Velenasi Moyo, has been sentenced to five months simple imprisonment for abuse of office.

According to court records, the offence occurred between 1st August and 30th September 2020, when Moyo, while serving as Petauke District Commissioner, directed National Registration Officers to issue National Registration Cards (NRCs) to children below the age of sixteen.

The court found this to be an arbitrary act, prejudicial to the interests of the government.

Moyo, who served as District Commissioner from 2014 to 2021, was initially jointly charged with Goodson Lungu, former Patriotic Front Constituency Chairman, on four counts of wilful obstruction of the Registrar and four counts of issuing false statements for the registration of births, dates, and marriage certificates. The duo was acquitted of those eight charges.

However, in a judgment delivered today, Petauke Resident Magistrate Ackson Mumba, convicted Moyo on the abuse of office charge and sentenced her to five months simple imprisonment.

We held a productive meeting with key players in the tourism sector, led by Mr. Mark O'Donnell, at State House this morning.

Tourism, one of Zambia’s most important renewable resources, continues to register impressive growth. In 2024 alone, the sector recorded over 2 million visitors, firmly positioning it as one of the four main pillars of our economy.

The success of tourism is closely intertwined with other sectors such as transport, hospitality, energy, and infrastructure. This interdependence makes collaboration and coordination among stakeholders not just desirable but essential.

To advance the industry and maximize its economic impact, there must be continuous dialogue, shared vision, and mutual support across all sectors. This is how we build a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable tourism economy that contributes meaningfully to national development.

Hakainde Hichilema,
President of the Republic of Zambia.
