Dr Evelyn Nguleka quits ZNFU

ZAMBIA National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU) president Dr Evelyn Nguleka has stepped down with immediate effect.

According to a statement issued by Union Spokesperson Kingsley Kaswende, Dr Nguleka has stepped down in order to prepare for the upcoming court case regarding allegations of misapplication of funds at ZNFU, following an audit that took place earlier this year.

“Constitutionally, ZNFU First Vice President Mr Richard Lisimba will act in Dr Nguleka’s capacity,” Kaswende said.

He said ZNFU will henceforth be restrained to give further comment on the matters, as the matter will be before court.
