]]>A video clip has gone viral on social media showing Mrs Mwanakatwe seemingly sleepy during deliberations of the NDF.
The minister, who was reluctant to comment on the issue in an interview yesterday, said she is tired of people mocking her on social media.
“I am tired of this topic to be honest, and I don’t think it’s a topic to be discussed, I am tired…. you know!
“It’s just been so grossly unfair,and why should we keep perpetuating it? You know, it’s just been so unfair,” she said. And in a statement yesterday, Non-Governmental Gender Organisations’ Coordinating Council (NGOCC) executive director Engwase Mwale urged Zambians to help women contribute objectively to the dictates of their public offices.
Ms Mwale urged the public to support the few women occupying public offices as opposed to demonising them.
“Following the video of Hon. Margaret Mwanakatwe that has gone viral on social media, we have been inundated with media queries on the supposed dozing and seemingly tired minister. “The video appears to be related to the matter that was brought to the attention of the National Dialogue Forum following a point of order by one of the delegates,” Ms Mwale said.
She said NGOCC has over the years bemoaned the low numbers of women in decision-making positions, especially in politics. Ms Mwale said NGOCC is restrained from commenting on the video because it does not have full details of the circumstances and condition in which the minister was at the time.
“In this regard, we would like to go along with the verdict as passed by the standing orders committee of the National Dialogue Forum, which cleared the minister of any wrong-doing. “It is this position we shall rely upon as the reflection of events related to the video in question,” Ms Mwale said.
She said it is, however, NGOCC’s position that leaders, female and male, should conduct themselves in line with the decorum of their offices.
Ms Mwale said NGOCC expects public leadership to be exercised with utmost professionalism and integrity.
“In the same vein, it is public responsibility to hold our leaders to account with positive criticism and fair judgement on their capacity to perform and deliver to citizens’ expectations,” she said.

]]>“Even when he comes home to sleep, the respondent sleeps in a separate room,” the petition reads in part. Mrs Imbuwa said her husband, who stopped talking to her in 2017 despite efforts to reconcile, denies her conjugal rights. She also complained that Mr Imbuwa stopped having meals with the family in 2016 and prefers food from restaurants or take-aways. In his response, Mr Imbuwa accused his wife of having an unreasonable behaviour by staying out drinking beer and returning home late.
Mr Imbuwa also contested his wife’s assertions that the couple’s marriage has irretrievably broken down because of his unreasonable behaviour. He said his wife returns home around 22:00 hours and “sometimes in the early hours of the morning two to five times a week”. “Her unreasonable behaviour has been characterised by excess drinking, which has resulted in violent confrontations,”
Mr Imbuwa said. He said his wife’s behaviour has had a negative impact on the welfare of their children. “Her conduct has caused children to have little or no care despite her not being in employment because she is occupied with alcohol consumption and is ever away from home,” Mr Imbuwa said. He further accused his wife of failing to keep the matrimonial house clean, a predicament which compelled him to hire two maids to start cleaning the house.
Mr Imbuwa said his wife is allegedly violent and disrespectful to him, and that this happens in the presence of their children. “Her conduct has reached alarming levels, forcing the petitioner to lock himself in a separate room in their house to escape her violence,” the statement reads in part. The lawmaker feels his wife’s behaviour is incorrigible and unbearable. Mr Imbuwa prays that the 12-year marriage be dissolved and that his wife should vacate their matrimonial home because he bought it before the marriage was solemnised.
