HH MUNTU SANA: ZNBC TO TELEVISE AFRICA CUP OF NATIONS
PS Kawana writes ….
Fellow citizens;
As government, we are glad to inform the football fraternity and indeed the general citizenry that the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) has acquired rights from the Confederation of African Football -CAF- to broadcast all the 52 AFCON games to be staged in Ivory Coast from 13th January to 11th February, 2024
The games will be televised on ZNBC TV 1 and 2 while ZNBC Radio 1 will carry Live Commentaries in all the 7 official local languages: Bemba, Nyanja, Lozi, Tonga, Luvale, Lunda and Kaonde.
The use of local languages will ensure that everyone is brought on board and no one feels left behind.
Previously, the national broadcaster could not afford to secure rights for the AFCON games. This time, the Republican President Mr HAKAINDE HICHILEMA tasked us to find the money to pay for the rights to enable people to follow the games right from the comfort of their homes.
ZNBC is the only media house in Zambia that will be able to televise all the 52 games of the AFCON.
We call on the business community to partner with Government to sponsor the games as there is no better opportunity for them to showcase their goods and services than when the whole country is watching TV and listening to the Radio.
We encourage our national team to put in their best and emulate their sisters, the Copper Queens as government has provided all the support.
History will tell you that Football has always
been the unifying factor and history will repeat itself.

Permanent Secretary
Ministry of Information and Media
Use your stolen money which you cannot account for iwe Kakana. Thought you being investigated over K3 million.
Kikiki at another UPND achievement
Guys in the past it was not negotiable this was normal.
It’s big thing under this govt?
You will see the picture quality of the gamez.
This is supposed to be a big achievement, a first???? Misplaced priorities
Here we go again !
Another first in Zambia???
It’s like Zambia never existed before UPND and their god took over.
Kabiyeni uko na HH wenu.
Everything now is a first in Zambia.
Soon even people peeing will be attributed to the Great Leader – a first in Zambia.
What a government!
We thank and appreciate the effort that has been made to televise the AFCON games on ZNBC by the govt. But Mr PS remove the statement that “Previously, the national broadcaster could not afford to secure rights for the AFCON games”
It is misleading and not necessary. Get your history correct. Once more thank you to the sponsorship of live shows of the AFCON.
Ba Kawana please, slow down. Does the hand of the president have to be behind every move?
I think your excitement is getting abit out of hand. At least try to pretend you are a civil servant not a party cadre. Or maybe this is beyond you?
