What is tourism? As a Zambian how can you be part of it without any product ownership. , as Zambians we will never be part of the content generation because we own nothing and hence not beneficiaries. Who is to blame for that? That is food for.thought. This is something to think about as we market this country and bring all these foreign partners on board. How can we better our GDP as a country? As an agency all can be done the best you know how but if the beneficiaries are not your nationals, it is all in vain. Hard working but not productive. Zambian tourism needs to grow it's contribution to the GDP. Policy makers need to understand this and not stop Zambian from been real stakeholders by owning tourism products. What do Zambian tourism.stakeholders market? We market products owned by those that have been preferred and fortunate to be awarded the permits and own tourism products by the powers that be. As it is, Zambians are just conduits for those that are making the real money which sometimes do not even land in the country or is eventually externalized. It's not enough to talk about the traffic of visitors but also the money - revenue retention in the country.

ZTA tourism marketing private sector engagement happening at Radisson blu today.

THE MEANING OF 'MPHEZENI'.
Ngonis just like other Nguni ethnic groups TRADITIONALLY attach great significance to the names that they give their children.In this regards,one is able to ascertain the circumstance or situation of a given period for a particular household merely by knowing the names of the children in that family set.

Before the coming of the white man,this was indeed followed to the latter.Thus it comes as no surprise that almost all of King Zwangendaba's children were named as a particular situation/circumstance dictated. It is however a monotonous task to list all of Zwangendaba's offspring and the meaning of their names herein.

Our 'Man of the moment' tonight is Zwangendaba's first born son and ruler of the Zambian Ngoni section, King Mphezeni. You see despite most local authors stating that Mphezeni means 'find him' (in apparent reference to the nyanja/chewa word Mupezeni),this is not the case (Mphezeni was born and named way before the AmaZwangendaba had interacted with the Nyanjas/Chewas. He was born when the language was still intact).

Mphezeni means to 'discontinue' or 'leave off' from the ISINGUNI verb UKUPHEZHA. The name was birthed from the flying hair incident in which most relations of Mphezenis mother, Queen Soseya Nxumalo were killed and their village of Emveyweyeni destroyed (Emeveyweyeni is now called as Emthenguleni meaning to rebuild). Further, Mphezeni's other name is Nthuto from the NGUNI verb UKUTHUTHA, to evacuate, referring to his birth at the time of the Ngoni evacuation from Mozambique around 1829.

Attached picture: The reigning King Mphezeni IV waves majestically to thousands of Ngonis as he makes his royal journey to Laweni in February this year, in the East of Zambia.

We are fine tuned to this approach as ZATO, what we need is the support. Unfortunately, right now this approach is non existant in Zambia. We need the benefits both for the communities and the state. Going forward, we can turn it around as a country if we choose to.
