Today marks a historic and emotional occasion as Mweeke Toll Plaza is officially commissioned and, in a remarkable gesture of honor, renamed to “Nalumino Mundia Toll Plaza.” This change reflects the enduring legacy of the late Nalumino Mundia, a distinguished politician, former Prime Minister of Zambia, and an esteemed diplomat, whose contributions to the development and growth of Zambia continue to resonate today.
Nalumino Mundia’s remarkable career spanned several decades, during which he played a pivotal role in shaping Zambia’s political and economic landscape. As Prime Minister, he dedicated himself to advancing the nation’s progress, navigating complex political environments, and fostering international relations. However, his most enduring legacy may well be his tireless work to improve the lives of Zambians, particularly in the most underserved regions of the country.
One of his greatest achievements was his role in bringing electricity to Barotseland, a milestone that changed the lives of many in this remote region. His efforts ensured that the power grid extended all the way to Kalabo District, his home village, lighting up homes, schools, and businesses. This transformative development unlocked new opportunities for education, healthcare, and economic growth, benefiting generations of Zambians.
The renaming of Mweeke Toll Plaza to Nalumino Mundia Toll Plaza serves as a permanent tribute to his selfless service and his vision for a prosperous, connected Zambia. This toll plaza now stands not only as a symbol of infrastructure development but as a beacon of the impact one individual can have on the nation. It is a reminder of Nalumino Mundia’s tireless commitment to improving the lives of the people he served and the lasting mark he left on the country. His legacy will continue to inspire and guide future generations, ensuring that his contributions to Zambia are never forgotten.
