Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan -4th July,2015

July 1, 2015 by Leave a Comment

Jeff Madzingo initiated the Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan which is a first in the world, a need driven funeral cash plan targeted at the diaspora communities. Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan is essentially a whole of life insurance cover underwritten by carefully chosen and reputable specialist life insurance companies in different niche markets. With its uniquely structured Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan you can be rest assured that your family will never have to face the nightmare of bereaving and begging for help from strangers to cover funeral and/or repatriation bills. For cultural, social, family and emotional reasons many Diasporas naturally prefer their country of origin to be their final resting place. This cultural connection has for many years resulted in unplanned financial burden as bereaved diaspora families suddenly have to raise a lot of cash to meet funeral and/or repatriation bills. A Diaspora Funeral Cash Plan can provide an immediate US$ lump-sum pay-out when your family needs it most and generally within 24 hours of receiving your completed claim form and proof of death. This plan is being made available to all residents in the Diaspora irrespective of your country of residence. Jeff Madzingo & Lovelly Mwambazi join us to discuss how this cash plan works and its availability.

Mayor Nyendwa will share his numerous years of service as a councilor, how he envisions Lusaka’s immediate and long term needs, how does he intend to alleviate the traffic congestion and perpetual population growth which the current infrastructure cannot sustain any further?

Ponga Liwewe – 6th June , 2015

June 3, 2015 by Leave a Comment

 

Ponga  is a renowned football commentator, analyst and sports media consultant. He will join us to discuss and  the unexpected resignation of FIFA president Sepp Blatter, who has been at the helm of the world football governing body since 1998. FIFA came into the spotlight the previous week after seven of its top officials were arrested for corrupt practices which have characterized the organization’s operations and fraudulent procedures in the awarding of which nations host the prestigious World Cup.

Did the voting patterns at the just ended FIFA council which gave Blatter a fifth term reflect how the football federations around the world are divided?  Ponga stated that; “This should be the first step in the wholesale cleaning of football at all levels to give the game leadership that is honest, has integrity and that puts football first, above personal gain.” What is the way forward for FIFA after Blatter? Join us for an exciting and informative show.
