“On My mind the President of South Africa His Excellency Ramaphosa heard of me, daughter of Mr Zamba- he told me they were friends in University with Obaba and he was pleasantly happy to meet a friend’s daughter. He called his people to take pictures because he has to show another common friend that he met the daughter. Obaba I cried you – thought and thought to myself. Humbled I was and I am. Yes I recall the numerous pictures of University in SA you used to show us in our little village house, the way they were all around you and loved the nuts from Malawi, Mtate Zamba was how they called you.

“Today I am harvesting in Kinshasa, DRC what you sowed – who am I to be shown this favour & honour; Let alone for my own Republican President, His Excellency Dr Laz Chakwera, to appoint me to this Highest office of the Civil service of a nation. It is only God. I give you Glory I give you Honour Lord. To my President I thank you Sir for believing in me, exposing me, I would not have this if it was not for You Sir to create the environment. Obaba the Book you taught us every day for a min of 2 hrs/day says “ but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments,” wrote Zamba.
