THE HONOUR OF SERVING FOR ONE THOUSAND, SEVEN HUNDRED AND TEN (1,710) DAYS.

Serving Zambia’s tourism sector over the past 1,710 uninterrupted days has been a profound journey of purpose, learning, and transformation. It has been a period defined by diversity of needs, meaningful engagement, and the shared commitment of stakeholders who believed in the potential of our industry.

Last Saturday, I was deeply humbled by the unity and appreciation demonstrated by stakeholders across the Tourism, Hospitality, and Travel sectors. It was a powerful reminder that our collective efforts have not only strengthened the industry, but also contributed meaningfully to Zambia’s broader national development agenda.

I remain sincerely grateful to His Excellency the Republican President, Mr. Hakainde Hichilema, for the trust and confidence placed in me to lead the Ministry of Tourism during this historic period. It has been an honour to serve under his leadership and to contribute to advancing Zambia’s tourism potential on both the regional and global stage.

As this chapter comes to a close, I do so with a deep sense of gratitude and fulfilment. My hope is that the strong partnership between Government and the private sector will continue to grow, ensuring sustained progress, innovation, and resilience for the industry we have built together.

Sincerely,
RMS
MOT 2021–2026

Five years ago, the people of Livingstone turned out in large numbers to entrust me with the honour of serving as their Member of Parliament; a privilege I will always hold close to my heart.

Over the past five years, we worked hand in hand with various government departments to advance the aspirations and wellbeing of our people. Together, we achieved many milestones, while some initiatives remain works in progress.

I extend my sincere gratitude to everyone who supported me throughout this journey. Your trust, encouragement, and partnership have meant everything.

As I fully endorse the candidacy of the Republican President Mr Hakainde Hichilema, I wish to inform the public of my decision not to re-contest the position of Member of Parliament for Livingstone Central Constituency.

My commitment to the UPND remains unwavering, and I stand ready to campaign for all party candidates to ensure victory for our great party.

Together, let us continue moving Zambia forward.

May God bless you all.

Early this morning, I had the honour of joining stakeholders and members of the tourism sector for the official unveiling of the new Zambia Tourism Agency (ZTA) Board of Directors — a significant step towards strengthening Zambia’s tourism industry and driving the sector to even greater heights.

The newly unveiled Board carries the important responsibility of providing strategic leadership and oversight as we continue positioning Zambia as a premier tourism destination in Africa and beyond. I have every confidence that their expertise, vision and commitment will contribute immensely to the growth, innovation and sustainability of our tourism sector.

In an emotional and humbling moment during the event, the dedicated staff at the Ministry of Tourism presented me with a bull ahead of the dissolution of Parliament and Cabinet next week.

The bull, branded “MoT 1,” symbolises resilience, dedication, impact and legacy. I am truly grateful for this heartfelt gesture and deeply honoured by the recognition from the hardworking men and women of the Ministry.

As we reflect on the journey so far, I remain proud of what we have collectively achieved in promoting Zambia’s tourism potential, strengthening domestic tourism, supporting conservation and creating opportunities for our people through the sector.

To everyone in the Ministry and across the tourism industry, thank you for your unwavering support and commitment to showcasing the very best of Zambia to the world.

Fellow residents of Livingstone,

Please be advised that Mokambo Way will be temporarily closed tomorrow, 6th May 2026, from 07:00hrs to 12:30hrs to facilitate the groundbreaking ceremony for the rehabilitation and upgrading of selected city centre roads to bituminous standard.

This marks an important step in improving our road infrastructure, enhancing mobility, and supporting economic activity within our city. The upgrade of over 8km of roads is part of our broader commitment to modernising Livingstone and improving the daily lives of our people.

We acknowledge the inconvenience this temporary closure may cause and sincerely appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time.

Together, we are laying the foundation for a better and more connected Livingstone.

Today, we showcase the real impact of the Constituency Development Fund (CDF) in Livingstone; where investment meets transformation.

From 95 community projects delivered to empowering 3,784 grant beneficiaries, supporting 399 loan recipients, and providing 764 secondary school bursaries, the results speak for themselves. Additionally, 3,294 individuals have gained valuable skills, strengthening livelihoods across our communities.

These achievements reflect more than progress; they represent hope, opportunity, and a shared vision for a better future.

Through transparency, accountability, and people-centered development, we remain committed to ensuring that every citizen benefits from national resources.

Building today for a better Livingstone.

Last night, I had the honour of officiating at the launch of TVS Motor Company’s official entry into Zambia; and as someone with a real passion for motorbikes, I must say this was an especially exciting occasion for me.

With Zambia’s youthful population and growing demand for mobility, the arrival of TVS creates new opportunities for entrepreneurship, job creation, and adventure tourism.

And we’re only just getting started. We’re already revving up for the Africa Bike Culture Festival 2026 in Livingstone from 22-29 May, where riders from across the continent will experience the adventure, culture, and breathtaking landscapes that make Zambia truly special.

This is what Zambia Moves You is all about; movement, opportunity, and a little bit of adventure along the way.

To our partners at TVS Motor Company and Zamoto Manufacturing Limited; thank you for moving with us. The journey ahead looks exciting.

It was a pleasure to speak yesterday at the Stakeholder Meeting on Conservation, held as part of the management partnership between the Ministry of Tourism and African Parks for Kafue National Park, Liuwa National Park, and the Bangweulu Wetlands.

Conservation is a shared responsibility; and we are all in this together.

Special gratitude goes to African Parks for stepping up, and to all stakeholders and partners whose commitment continues to strengthen Zambia’s conservation efforts.

Our goal is to leave Zambia and her beautiful parks protected and thriving for generations to come. We achieve this through hard work, unity between Government and the private sector, strong relationships, and a shared intention to safeguard our natural heritage.

Together, we are protecting wildlife, supporting communities, and building Zambia’s tourism future.

Livingstone Born. Livingstone Proud. Livingstone Focused.

Following the constituency delimitation, Livingstone has given birth to a new constituency; Maramba (Republic of Libuyu), a milestone that reflects growth and improved representation for our district.

Our revised Livingstone Constituency now remains with Nine (9) Wards:
Dr. Mubitana, Mosi Oa Tunya, Akapelwa (Central Business), Freedom (Airport), Dambwa Central, Zambezi Ward (National Park), Nakatindi, Lizuma, and Simonga (Safari Camps), plus the mighty Mosi-oa-Tunya / Victoria Falls & Border 🇿🇲

Though the constituency has reduced in size, our vision for development remains bigger than ever. As a proud son of the soil, I remain committed to developing Livingstone District and Zambia together.

To my revised Livingstone Constituency…
Brace yourselves… lukacha kulamba. 💪🇿🇲

The work continues.
