BRE UNVEILS 2024 KUOMBOKA CEREMONY GUEST OF HONOR
Mwinelubemba Chitimukulu Kanyanta-Manga II to Grace the 2024 Kuomboka ceremony of the Barotse people.
The Barotse Royal Establishment (BRE), has announced that this year’s kuomboka ceremony will be graced by Mwinelubemba Chitimukulu Kanyanta-manga II of the Bemba Speaking People. Ngambela Mukela Manyando made the announcement today in limulunga Royal Village during the press briefing.
Addressing the media in limulunga this morning Ngambela Mukela Manyando said the invitation of Mwinelubemba to grace the Kuomboka this year results from the the invitation which was extended to His Majesty the Litunga, king of Barotseland last year in which Litunga was the Guest of Honor at the Ukusefya pa Ng’wena ceremony of the Bemba speaking in Northern Province.
Ngambela Manyando underscored the importance of cultural exchange among traditional systems of Zambia which are critically beneficial. Ngambela Mukela Manyando also appealed to the people of Barotseland and community to give visitors a good hospitality during their visit at this year’s kuomboka.
Kuomboka ceremony is the movement of the Litunga, King of Barotseland, from the flood plains Lealui (the Winter capital) to the higher ground in Limulunga (the summer capital), paddled in a gaint traditional boat called Nalikwanda. As a result of drought, this year’s kuomboka ceremony will take place from lealui to Mulamba harbour in Mongu on 20th April, 2024.

mmmh! What happens to the Great Leader, the Alpha and Omega , the all wise…the Mingalatoon???
Alpha and Omega was Lungu, the tone of bricks, we no longer have such titles, I am surprised you even still talk about them.
This is the best way to cerebral and order a traditional ceremony. A fellow traditional leader is more appropriate than someone to come and start talking about CdF, load shading, debt restructuring blaa blaa blaa…. Way off the taste of the ceremony.
Let our traditional leaders teach the divisive politicians. As black people we have a lot of enemies. Let’s grow our Zambia and our Africa
An excellent move by our traditional leaders. Politicians have played us against one another for too long. I would actually prefer that they are totally excluded from these ceremonies.
Religious leaders should take a leaf from these two traditional leaders and desist from inviting politicians to grace religious gatherings.
