THE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has won four awards at the 2016 Public Relations and Communication Awards of the Zambia Association of Public Relations (ZAPRA) for effective management of the August 11 General Elections.
The awards are Best Crisis Management Campaign winner, Best Public Relations Campaign, Best Public Sector Campaign and Best Managed Public Events.
This was on Friday night during the 2016 ZAPRA Public Relations and Communication Awards Gala at David Livingstone Safari Lodge in Livingstone.
The Best Corporate Social Responsibility (CSC) went to Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Investment Holdings (ZCCM-IH) while
Multi-Choice Zambia was the runners up.
ZCCM IH won the Best Website award while the Zambia Information and Communication Technology Authority (ZICTA) was the runners up.
The Rural Electrification Authority (REA) won the runners up award for the Best Public Sector Campaign.
The Conference, which attracted PR and Communication specialists across Zambia, was held under the theme the “The role of
Communications in Regional Integration”.
ECZ wins a prize for rigging the election?
Zesco wins a prize when LOAD SHEDDIN has been increased to EIGHT HOURS?
ZCCM-IH wins a prize for a LOSS making company eating taxpayers money?
What is going on here? This is ridiculous! Next we have Alex Chikwanda getting a prize for BANKRUPTING the NATION!
This is just TOO MUCH. After RIGGING the election, giving these people a prize is SPITTING IN ZAMBIANS FACES!
STUPID! AWARDS TO DIRAMBA AND PRISCILLA FOR RIGGING THE ELECTIONS IDIOTS.
2016 elections were not well organised. has any one noticed that the awards were for the 2011 elections
sorry i was wrong
VERY FOOLISH INDEED
that’s why Bob Marley said,’if I was educated, I was gonna be a fool’.
Ha!! please wake me up,must be dreaming,so now awards are given for mediocrity! why not move on to soccer as well,give prizes to all teams relagated to lower leagues next season,the national team deserves one as well for failing to qualify to AFCON,not forgeting the Olympic team which recently came back `manja,manja’,forget Catherine Phiri shes a winner,instead award ZPPBWA for failing to produce a male boxing champion of our own in years,(Manyuchi is from Zim)..it goes on and on,what a nation of losers we’ve become and at only 52 yrs of independence,what more at 70,we’ll belong to the garbage dump,(kumalabo),so we need to CHANGE to improve,the mindset mwebantu,other the dustbin is ours!
This story reminds me of Mr Bean’s play where he bought himself Christmas presents and cards, posted them to his home address and enjoyed a happiest day of his life when he received the presents from the post man whom he thanked so dearly for delivering the same to him.
After we voted how long did ECZ take to start announcing the elections? This is a failed state and the only treatment that Zambia needs if it is to come to its senses is fighting.
This country is rotten to core. No wonder KK this time stayed away from Independence Day. Zambia is being run by foreign dictators who Lungu owes his illegitimate win to and not the people. What a shame. I am embarrassed to be Zambian and have a failure president like Lungu who invites a reject like Museveni on an important day meant for only Zambians.
A false Zambian you are.
Please don’t use the name of KK in vain.
Dr Kaunda is a patriot, who values independence, he might not have been with us physically but was indeed with us spiritually.
We know the type of prayers that you offer when events like Independence celebrations are taking place.
Start a fresh dear, life must go on
I can’t be surprised when criminals are promoted for either shooting on opposition members no arrest made or even insulting other tribes on znbc without shame. indeed Zambia is a failed state how can ecz win awards?the international community are laughing at us Zambians and wonder our thinking capacity,those who were giving awards were just ordered to do so to make outside world believe ecz performed very well or conducted fair and free elections when its opposite.
Ati kupusa bati
Sugarcoating some rotten stuff
What a rotten country we are in
A country of educated illiterates.How can ECZ win those awards amidst these hot issues already raised by coleagues above?.This brings or reminds me of the story titled THE EMPEROR’S NEWS SUITS,in a primary school english reader’s book where it took a 12 yr boy to openly tell the emperor that he was naked yet all those with bald heads,intellectuals and every adult were passing praises to his majest despite his nakedness.This is the same with those awarders who cant or failed to do the needful by NOT giving or awarding this fake body ECZ those awards.Nowonder one international constitutional Lawyer Robert Armstaderm called Zambians EDUCATED FOOLS.
The title of the Article should be “ECZ IS GIVEN MEDALS FOR EFFECTIVELY RIGGING THE 2016 ELECTIONS”. ECZ failed to deliver a free,fair and credible election to Zambia and that is why there are so many petetions and the Presidential Petetion remains outstanding.Since 1964 the 2016 were the worst organised elections. In a normal Constitutional Democracy ECZ and Concourt should have been disbanded.
Wonders will never end,ECZ awarded four awards????after announcing wrong results for Lundazi Constituency, announcing results without G12 forms,Chavula from Uganda caught in ECZ IT server room,the first ballot papers were dispatched in absence of other Stakeholders.corruption in Zambia che
“The awards are Best Crisis Management Campaign winner, Best Public Relations Campaign, Best Public Sector Campaign and Best Managed Public Events”. Yet as the whole earth now knows,the Electoral Commission of Zambia is one of the worst organizations that human beings ever constituted.
You really see the extent of a rotting country by observing those that ferment the rot as they fail to realize the increasing strength of the odour. Isn’t this numskullness at its best or do we increasingly need many pyschiatrists to examine the heads of Zambians in charge of this zero-country? Even Chimpanzees can now run this country if only they can watch Lungu and his circus team for one day.
Ma rubbish ya chalo
Kikiki Zambia the real africa
Hahahaha u are guys for real? ECZ wining awards for allowing foreigners to vote in those just ended compromised elections???
