“HELLO everybody, welcome to the programme; a programme designed to bring news and interviews on agricultural trends and developments shaping Zambia’s agro destiny. This is Lima Time.”
These words are synonymous with one of the great sons of Zambia, Mpundu Buseko Mwape who relentlessly promoted diverse agriculture
programmes through Lima Time, an agricultural programme produced by the National Agricultural Information Services (NAIS) and broadcast on the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC) every Sunday at 18:00 hours.
Three weeks ago, Mpundu Mwape bade farewell to the civil service after attaining 60years retirement age as a television producer for NAIS, an information unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, which he joined in
1985.

WISH HIM ALL THE BEST, PLEASE PAY HIM ALL HIS ENTITLEMENTS SO THAT HE CAN ENJOY HIS RETIREMENT.
I wish him many more years of retirement. I can also join the Zambia in urging our Government to pay him and other retirees their terminal benefits so that the hard working man can put into practice what he has been preaching so well. A good and normal thinking Government should not have difficulties in paying retires their terminal benefits because terminal benefits paid on time solve problems unemployment particularly for the youth. As Zambians we should assess how good or bad a Government is by its preparedness to pay terminal benefits. UNIP Governments as far as I am concerned were reasonable and better. Nobody waited for ten and twenty years to receive pensions.
I wonder why this Man was never given a ministerial position in agriculture all these years.He has been such patriot. I really wish him all the best in all his days of retirement.
