Waste of time and money. The whole President crisscrossing Lusaka city with no agenda but just eating and winning while our economy is being thrown to the dogs.

I would describe this trip a water down one in the sense that it is not investment / trade oriented. It simply adds no value to both countries whatsoever. Sending your vice president to such a third class diplomatic trip would be a great move cos you would saved a few cents from your wobbly coffers. I hear your counterpart (Zambian president drinks like a mad fish so you guys wants to kill two birds with one stone.

I cant understand that the first citisen avoided eye contact with his vice during departure to Zambia. Kodi anthunu mukusungirana mangawa? Mind you if that is the case you will be a disgrace to the DPP entire family who voted & sweated for you to win the elections & together lead this nation.
