PRESIDENT HICHILEMA CRACKS WHIP IN FOREIGN SERVICE AS OVER 60 DIPLOMATS ARE RECALLED
Zambia has recalled over sixty (60) diplomats from foreign service.
Those mostly affected have served more than 3 years.
Sources from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations revealed that the heads of missions from South Africa, Brazil and Mozambique have been affected.
Mazuba Monze from South Africa, Derrick Livune (Zimbabwe) and Glynne Namulula Michelo (Brazil) have been recalled.
However, Livune is frantically lobbying that he be given another station like Mozambique instead of returning home.
Former Drug Enforcement Commission (DEC) Mary Chirwa has been transferred to Brussels from Mozambique.
Zambia’s Ambassador accredited to the Kingdom of Belgium in Brussels, Sylvester Mundanda has been recalled after complaints from staff and Zambian diaspora in the area.
But Silvia Masebo’s sister who has been serving in foreign missions since 2008, Eunice M.Tembo Luambia, has been spared.
Luambia currenrly serves as Permanent Mission of the Republic of Zambia to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva, Switzerland.
There are also diplomatic concerns that President Hakainde Hichilema has not filled the positions of Ambassador in Moscow, Russia, Tel Aviv, Isreal and other key missions.
And Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations has expressed serious information at numerous reports of escalated immorality, excessive drinking, and misconduct from Australia, South Africa, and Mozambique, where Ambassadors were reported to be having inappropriate sexual relations.
Cracking a whip really.
2025 be careful. It is year of reality and action to coin 2026.
UPND is the Party of choice going into 2026. Amidst natural disasters, calamities and manmade drawbacks here we are.
Had it been those others it would have been terrible for all apart from them in power.
Argue or appreciate.
Keep telling yourself that, if it comforts you and yours.
His judgement in making appointments is truly questionable.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Even after marrying what you thought was an angel you divorce on discovering she wasn’t.
Same….especially from a country wide pool. I can guess, not easy!
Olo mufuma condemning.
2026 FORWARD WITH UPND- mpaka 20 sate 1 and beyond.
Iwe Crab,
60 plus marriages is too much.
The problem is not with the diplomats, but the one appointing them.
Vote wisely in 2026.
UPND + HH = 2026 victory
This was long overdue. You need level headed people for these positions.
People should know that when they are sent in foreign missions, they are sent there to represent our country and not to represent their genitals. It’s very disappointing to hear that some of our Ambassadors and High Commissioners are reported to be having inappropriate sexual relations while others are even failing to bend and shave themselves ku shani uku. They are a big disgrace to the nation because their bad behavior is the picture they portray to the outside world about the country they represent. Zambia is a Christian nation hence it needs well behaved representatives with high morals like Joseph of the Bible. Few weeks ago, one PS complained about the same thing, some people kukonda ku***nga at the expense of work. I for one I am not happy and I am sorry if I have used bad words. These people are paid tax payer ‘s money, therefore we need good representation and quality work from them. Well done Mr. President for recalling those who are misrepresenting us. Ku mawa bamakamba ati, bakakupasa promotion, nyele nikutaya pakuti usebenze bwino.
Hmmmmmm.
Ba Citizen, you like munyengo too much naimwe. You have Bible in one hand, pussy in your other.
You must be SDA, right?
Vote wisely in 2026.
Under PF, it would have been business as usual.
The purge will help to keep our diplomats on their toes. Most tend to think they are on an extended holiday.
Ba JMC,
Forget PF, your leader has managed to kill them off. You can not be mentioning PF at every given opportunity even if the news has nothing to do with PF.
Let us join forces to bring out the best in whichever government is ruling. You are way to clever to be a cadre like FCB or Jata. You do write sense sometimes, but your hatred for PF is your undoing. Remember the country voted them out, so do not keep flogging a dead horse. Move on, and forgive them for what they did to you. We all suffered under them, but we are moving on to create a better Zambia.
Let us condemn Hakainde’s abuse of power of detaining opponents for 6 months or more without charging them. There are some in detention over one year, just because they called Hakainde a failure. Or a tribalist.
I challenge you to be on the side of fairness, on the side of mother Zambia.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Point of correction ba Indigo. Iam NOT a UPND cadre. Yes, I am their symphasiser but definitely not a member.
PF is still very much alive and making a lot of noise. As long as they maintain a presence on the political scene, I will keep referring to them lest the nation forgets their disastrous rule and they sneak back into power.
Finally, those who forget the past are bound to repeat it. We chart the future on the basis of past experience. It is called life’s lessons. Forget your past experiences and you are dead meat. That is how nature works.
Ba JMC,
You have declined my challenge. It is well.
Enjoy your Katata, or should I say, your Chibwantu these days.
Vote wisely in 2026.
Thank you ba Indigo. You remind of the days when my dear mom was alive and every time I went to visit my parents in the village, my mother would prepare me a 2.5lt container of Katubi to take back and I would consume just a little each time. It used to last me a month or more.
Mothers are such wonderful people! Just another of life’s lessons, a pleasant one.
True, remember the misconduct of Emmanuel Mwamba and his counterpart Anthony mukwita which he tolerated.
These are things you do within the first months of your office to protect yourself, just like in many government offices, but any way it has been an experience well learnt, even the issue arrests for proceeds of crime should have been done much much earlier delaying these to election time is also not a good strategy. Another lesson well learnt. going forward being decisive is the answer
